Attention ladies

The king of handsome man-cats is back to being himself again!!

You know you wanna - Rumbles

You know you wanna cuddle me.

It's written all over your face.

(PS - I'm doing much better with Feliway, thanks for the good wishes)

Fun and games

Rumblemum has been neglecting us for that 'work' thing. I reckon this 'work' must have lots of kitties at it, cause she's spending a lot of time there and she's super-tired when she finally gets home.

We've been making our own fun, 'specially with the new playground!

I see you seeing me!!

Prepare for a THWOCK, little kitten!

*thwock*

And finally, friends again

A lot of you have noticed that my little bro is getting bigger... it's cause he STEALS MY TREATS! *rumblegrumble*

And his official name is now: Diego 'Hamlet' Moonfur. Official nicknames: 'Kitten' or 'Lamlet'

Eat yer heart out Kitten

I'm all about the cute

We're playing lots now, but no cuddles yet. Rumblemum and dad have agreed on a name - his first name will be Diego, but not sure yet about his last name yet.

Beware of Bengals! They attack from the sky! - Rumblepurr

One of the wonderful kitty friends I made in the NZ Next Top Cat Model contest was a handsome Bengal named Darwin!

Darwin has his own blog, and he has his own PLANE!! So he could visit some of the far-away kitties (and most importantly he can take me to visit the BOOTIFUL ladycats)

You can visit Darwin here, he's new to blogging so doesn't know many people yet :)

You guys better lock up your lady cats! - Rumbles

I've had a photoshoot, and I'm lookin' FINE if I do say so myself!

I spy...with my little eye... something that is BOOTIFUL!

Can I get you some nip my dear?

I'm just hangin'

The eyes...they go right thru you!!

And the Inigo update! He went back to the kitty cardiologist today, and one of his lungs that was squished by the fluid in his chest is healed!!

The other is still a little bit impacted by fluid (and he did have a bit of fluid again) but all in all this is very good news. His kidneys are ok, his blood pressure is fine and he's nomin' LOTS.

I'm still being extra good to him... we may have snuggled (very MANLY snuggles) on the end of the bed last night.

I'm quite impressed at the better quality and quantity of noms I'm getting because of him!! Some days it's like a buffet here!!

Long cat is... Rumblepurr

LONG!!

You cannot resist the tum

Yeahhhh... the tum

There can only be one - Rumblepurr

Now you all probably know that I loves the ladies.

It's hard when there are so many BOOTIFUL lady cats and only one Rumblepurr. I thought I'd found a solution...

Is it real? Or is it RUMBLEcopy?

I dunno if my tail is gonna replicate well...

I'm gonna need a copy for Miss Jazzy, Miss Huffle, 
Miss Baby, Miss Praline, Miss Lola, Miss Zoey, Miss Pandora,
Miss Clarissa, Miss Willow, Miss Lily, Miss Halle, Miss Sapphire, 
Miss Calle, Miss Tasha, Miss Sparkle, Miss Sukki, Miss Delilah,
Miss Sacha, Miss jane, Miss Alice, Miss MoMo, Miss Daisy, 
Miss Maggie, Miss Isabella, Miss Angel, Miss Sweet Pea....

Wonder what I'd look like in black and white?

Easy like Sunday - Rumbles

Hoot.

I join the club - Rumbles

I get a bad rap around here as being the 'less than angelic' or 'occasionally naughty' kitty.

I reckon I have to change my image a bit, so I've tried mimicking Inigo (charter member of the 'Good Kitty Club' *snort*)

One of the things that Inigo does real well? He has excellent back-lighting!


And so, I give you... RUMBLES the GOOD kitty!!

Cue angelic music

Look! I can be a merekat AND angelic!

 

Elongated Rumbles is super angelic

RUMBLEinspection - Rumblepurr

Rumbledad got a backpack to carry the new camera in. Of course I had to inspect it.

It's my job.

Nip goes in here?

Or maybe here?

I think I might just want to keep this bag...

Hmm, if I took these things out of the bag and hid them
maybe the flashy would stop?

The truth about RUMBLES - Inigo

He is a bit goofy about his fat duck.

Psst.... hey Khyra - Rumblepurr

Hey Khyra... He's on his way over to you, I just need to sort out shipping. Apparently you can't pay the post office in tunas.

---

On an unrelated note, I've been putting off answering some questions from my lovely friends Shiva and Jaya,...

1. Are you in love?!

Yes. I love my mummy. She comes home, gives me cuddles and gives me noms. The only way I could love her more would be if she didn't leave at all, ever.

2. Are you picky when it comes to the noms your human(s) serve(s) you?


No WAY! I love the noms!

3. Is there any music that hurts your kitty/doggy ears so much it makes you go meow or whoo?

Daddy had to run a speaker testing program the other day, I did not like that one bit!

4. If you ruled Planet Purrth, what would your policy look like?

Lots of cuddles with BOOTIFUL girlcats, and hot and cold running tunas.

5. Winter, spring, summer or fall? And why?

Spring! Cause there be sun puddles but it not too hot!

The final run up to the deciding vote!

My friends... I know I keep saying it, but I really do appreciate every single thing that you've all done to help me out, and I'm sorry to keep being such a pest about the contest. It's been an excellent fundraiser for the charities, with over $17,000 being raised so far.

I've been super lucky to get support from a brilliant local artist. She's taken her most beautiful piece out of her shop to offer it here to help me with my model dreams!

Featuring the cat Goddess, this is a truly stunning piece of jewelery.

I'm going to be running a draw to win this piece (you can see more of it here)

To enter the draw, just comment on this post that you've voted for me and that will earn you one entry into the draw. If you make a donation, you'll get ten entries into the draw. if you have voted or donated before of course you'll be entered in the draw for the pendant - just leave me a comment to remind me and I'll make sure you're entered. :)

Once again, 100% all donations are going to my charities - the SPCA and the Cats Protection League.

I'll be doing the draw on the 12 Aug, when the contest closes. To vote, please go here

(and now, we pause for a RUMBLE)

Rumblin' round on a rainy Sunday - Rumblepurr

Hello my friends...

I've decided I need to start taking this modelling thing more seriously. At the moment, I'm tied for first place... I think it's time to start pulling out some of my signature RUMBLE-looks.

This is my 'I have a secret' face. My secret is... well
it wouldn't be a secret if I TOLD now would it?

My man-catly profile. See my roman nose? I use it for
roman-ing around and finding treats

Back to full face, but I'm thinking of a tuna-tree sprouting
up from out of nowhere, so I have the look of surprise

Now I'm figuring out how to climb the tuna tree. if you
bigify this photo you can see my pink little nose and mouth.

We're getting close to the end of the modelling contest, and man am I getting tuckered out! Who knew being handsome would take so much outa you?

If anyone would like to vote, here's the link again... the contest is close to wrapping up, it finishes on the 12th August. Thanks to everyone that has voted or donated or had supportive things to say. Things should be returning to normal around here soon....

Eeek! I'm third!

Just a quick note my friends, if you haven't voted yet (or have extra email addresses you can vote with) I'd sure appreciate your vote.

Thanks guys. I'll have a better blog post up soon...

Be vewy, vewy quiet... We is hunting TUNA

Day two update - Rumbles

My friends... I'm so excited to say... oh I can't even say it, let me show you!

Thanks to all my amazing friends out there, I'm in first place in the New Zealand Next Top Model contest!! There is still lots of time to vote, and I'm offering smoochies for every vote!

I really, from the bottom of my heart, appreciate everything that you guys have done to help  me.

In other news, I've found a way to keep my toesies warm...

I hope Rumblemum and Rumbledad don't want to eat this pizza, it's sure keeping me toasty!

MIGHTY CHEERING - Rumbles

My friends!! I know I was going to let Inigo have some blog time, but Rumblemum has the flu and hasn't been keeping up our blog as she should...

I wanted to let you all know that I've made it through to the final round of the Next Top Cat Model contest!!! I was the third highest fundraiser thanks to all of you! I hope that you guys know how much I appreciate every single penny donated. I know it's hard times out there, and for some of you to donate $5 was the same as to donate $500 - I hope you know how touched I was at every single donation.. From the bottom of my heart I say thank you to every single person that gave.

The next phase will begin later this week, and it'll be for votes. You'll only get to vote once, so if you please could save a vote for me.. and I'll set up my kissing booth again for all voters!! Man-cats, I can give smoochies to your mummy's!

I sleep beside Rumblemum to keep her warm. Very important
when you're not feeling well.

I've been keeping a watchful eye on the Rumblemum. She's doing better today, but you never know when she may fall over and drop some tuna or something. Not letting her out of my sight.

OH! And I got the most BRILLIANT gift today!! My friend Whskr has made the Rumblemum an amazing pendant of MEEEEEEE!! It is so pretty, and now Rumblemum can have me close to her heart all the time! This is Whskr's etsy page, she's got all kinds of cool stuff, and she can make stuff on order (like pendants of MEEEEEEE)

Blown away - Rumbles

OMC!!! Someone has made an AMAZING donation, and I'm in first place on the leader board! I don't know who made the donation, but I hope they know how much it means to me (and to the kitties at my charities, SPCA and Cats Protection Society) Rumblemum was a little teary when she saw this morning.

And the EXTRA good news,I got SO many cuddles because Rumblemum was so happy and touched at every person that has donated or had a kind word to say for me.

Oh, and check this out!!! I have a BOOTIFUL sister!! We were separated at birth, but recently reunited! You can read more about it here...

Inigo is getting a bit grumpy I've been hogging the computer so much, he was chasing me around today. I better let him have the blog tomorrow...
