Freezing on a Friday - Inigo Flufflebum

I know that as a Flufflebum I should be warm, but it has been VERY cold of late.

My heater brings me great joy, and here I am making sure that the Flufflebum stays nice and toasty.



A special snuggle to my buddy @Perrythebirman's mummy (and NOT a Rumblepurr mummy-stealing kinda cuddle, this is a NICE cuddle)

d'Artangan Rumblepurr and the Case of the Missing Springs

Mummy was going to take photos of me today, and the post was going to be for 'Favourite things on a Friday' (she plans ahead sometimes my mummy!)

The plan was to get action shots of me with my most favourite toy, my Spotnip Springs. I LOVE my Springs, they were a gift from my sweet Baby Patches and I treasure them when I'm not pouncing on them.

Mummy couldn't believe that such a small thing could bring me (and brother) so much joy, but these springs are like magic. I carry them in my mouth, throw them in the air, hide them... and herein lies the problem.

Mummy went to look for a spring to take pictures with, but they've dropped into a black hole! (Daddy's socks also live in this hole, never to be found...) How can it be?? No RUMBLEsprings to be found. Mummy did find a whole stash of other toys under various cupboards and the sofa - but of course I don't WANT those toys, I want my springs.

Here is a link to my buddy Misha's blog about my springs. It has a video of me in happier days.

I'm off to continue the search for the springs. Does anyone have a phone number for Nancy Drew? I bet she could help.

(PS - speaking of Misha, please help him win NZ Next Top Cat Model! We have faith he'll be a finalist!)

Humans are weird - observation by Rumblepurr

I love water so much, whenever anyone goes into the bathroom I MUST go too, and I will sit on the sink and sing till it is turned on.

Mummy and daddy have learned that they can't leave glasses of water unattended, or it gets my MIGHTY paw in it (and eventually it falls off the counter... unrelated to my MIGHTY paw, naturally...)

Well, mummy has this new thing that she's put into MY sentry point 'Alpha' (aka the bedside table). It is some kind of device with wires and numbers that change. She plugs her POD (she say it is Ipod? Does that make it a Herpod if I talk about it?) into the device, and noise comes out.

So the other day the sound that came out was... WATER!! Running, glorious water!! But it was a trick I tell ya, I nom-ed the pod and not a drop came out. False advertising! A trick! Unkind, very unkind. :(

She better be careful the POD never makes tunafish noises, let me tell you...

Tummy on a Tuesday - Inigo

I'm TOTALLY helping.

MAN cat Monday with Rumbles and Inigo

Inigo:Rumbles is NOT a mancat yet, but he pouts if he isn't included.

For example: the other day mummy and I were on the bed. We were having the cuddles, a nice relaxing snuggle... and we heard a loud 'THUMP' 'THUMP' 'THUMP'.

Rumbles was beside the bed, jumping up and down like he was on a trampoline! He can't stand it when he isn't part of everything.

He's still a pretty good little brother though (don't tell him I said that)


Rumblepurr

I am the BEST mancat... today I ZOOMED through the house, and pounced on Baby Duck. If Baby Duck could squeak, she would have squeaked at my mighty POUNCE!

I think we should have tuna in honour of Monday.

Secrets on a Saturday - Inigo

As a cat, I have a great many secrets. I'm very selective as to whom I share my secrets with, but since we're all friends here...

I have a baby seal named Thwack who is my very best friend.


Thwack is very small and sweet - he makes the best little squeaking sounds when I bunny-kick him (he likes it, honest!) and likes to be warm. We cuddle in the beanbag by the heater, and if it's really cold out I make sure to push poor little Thwack closer to the heater so he'll be warm.


Thwack enjoys being groomed, so on occasion I'll make sure he's clean by washing his little head.

Brother knows that the only thing in the house that is totally off limits is my little buddy, he doesn't even try. :)

Feel free to share your Saturday secrets here!

Flashback Friday - Inigo and Rumbles

We were both such beautiful babies, and even more handsome man cats...

Wordless Wednesday

Beware of BeeBear - a lesson from Rumblepurr

Mummy is quite taken with the Beebear.

Beebear is a very clever fella, he knows that if he pretends to be a bumblebee, he'll get all the honey.

Unfortunately for Beebear, part of being a bee is the flying... so for many weeks he has been suspended in the window of the honey shop like this:



You can see from his expression that it isn't very comfortable, and of course there is a danger of falling to his doom.

Well it would seem that he has finally paid his dues - because today Beebear got the honey pot!!!



Ah the joy of a a dream realised!

I'm sure there is a moral in this story... maybe if I pretend to be some kelp, I'll eventually get a tuna fish?

(sounds like too much work for me)

Inigo on further indignities

*sigh* I looked a bit plump in the photos, so mummy was going to make a video of me to show I'm not... and who had to nose his way into my video??

Inigo on indignities

When I heard that I'd be getting a little brother, there was some assumption on my part that I would be TOP CAT in this house.

So tell me... please... how can things like this happen??







Not only did mummy take pictures of the little one on MY tower, she laughed!!

Harumph.

RUMBLEvideo

Mummy took this video of me, attacking my floating clown fishy. She put the quilt down so that I wouldn't hurt my little feet when I jump.

I went totally mad right after the camera stopped. heh heh heh.

Setting the record straight - some thoughts from Rumblepurr

Hello all,

I see my friend Misha has maybe mentioned that I'm a bit of a flirt.

I just want to set the record straight on this, I do NOT just flirt with ANY girl cat... I only EVER flirt with the most beautiful, most stunning girl cats on the planet.

(It is not my fault that every girl cat on the Internet seems to fall into this category!!)

What is a boy to do??

Flufflesun

Daddy feels that I am not as represented as I should be, so here are some photos of me, in happier times when there was sun.

I'm very tired of this winter thing, not enough sun puddles and warm.

Last night I even had to cuddle with brother to keep warm!! I was feeling kind, so I also let him wash my head a little bit. Sometimes he's an ok little brother. When he's not eating my food. Or cuddling my mum.
