Rumblemum is HOME!!

We are SO happy we forgot to snub her!

We raced over to greet her and smell all the new suitcase-y smells. We smelled that far-away cat but chose to ignore that *glaring at Rumblemum*

She brought us a wonderful gift - but it's so warm here today that we didn't feel like playing too much.

Here's a photo of us being cat-loafs. I have the tail end of our new toy in my paw.

Honestly, I love the new toy. It's just tooooo hot

This is how Hammy and I fight when it's too hot

Hammy's trying to steal the spotlight. We know my pink nose makes
you forget all about him and his blue eyes

We've gotten some AWESOME gifts and awards from our friends out there, we'll post on those soon. Rumblemum is still getting over her jet lag and is thinking of stalking the Hobbit Premiere tomorrow... so we'll see how we go with posting this week :)

Rumblemum WHO?

Well my friends, still no Rumblemum. Apparently she is somewhere cold called 'Canada'. HaHA Rumblemum! Without our cuddles you will be FREEZING!

Revenge is truly a dish best served cold. FREEZING cold.

Rumblemum WHO? I don't know any Rumblemum

See how I keep my nose warm with my tail? And I don't even
NEED to stay warm cause it's SUMMER here

Oh! Did you see me as 'Hot Mancat of the Blogosphere'? *strut* *strut*

Hunting high and low - Rumbles

It's been DAYS since we've seen our Rumblemum! We thought she might just be hiding, so we launched a full scale search.

Hammy (who is just silly) thought she might just be inside the flashy box, so when Rumbledad brought it out, Hammy gave it a close up look.

Rumblemum? Are you there?

I thought she might be hiding in a new bag that Rumbledad brought home. It had really enticing crinkly paper, so I could see where she'd want to hang out inside.

RUMBLEMUM! Come out NOW!

Neither of these seemed to work. The hunt continues.

Once I figure this out - Rumbles

My mean, mean Rumblemum is off cavorting with foreign cats, so I find I must make do on my own *sniffle*

Rumbledad has sent her this video so she can see her REAL cats, and how we hardly miss her at ALL *sob*.

I've almost worked out how to open my toy chest to get at my Silvervine Fishies! That Ham came over to help, but he's not as clever as I am.



Before you know it I'll have figured out how to open my own cans of food!

Here is a picture of the far-away pussycat that she is cuddling. I notice a slight resemblance to ... WAFFLES!? *dun dun dunnnnn*

All your Rumblemums are belong to ME!

Is this a coincidence? Could it be that this is a relative of Waffles, and my Rumblemum is being kidnapped by a Waffles cartel?

Maybe me and Hammy need to get a jet plane and sort this out.

A note for my Twitter pals - there's a big Twitter party on Tuesday Nov. 13 from noon to midnight EST - hashtag #BlogPawty. Here's an invitation: http://twtvite.com/BlogPawtySurprise. I will be spinning my awesome tunes starting at 1pm EST, so be sure and stop by!

Waffles Task Force - day two

So many excellent theories, and so many willing to help! Some interesting questions arose from yesterday:

(1) Andrea and the Celestial Kitties made a comment that got us thinking: Waffles looks a LOT like that handsome orange fella Wally from the Island Cats. AND both their names begin with a 'W'... coincidence?

Wally...? Waffles...?

(2) Dorothy Abernathy suspects Waffles may be an undercover operative... I think she's on to something! Maybe Waffles is an agent of the Silvervine Collation, trying to undermine the nip industry! Actually I could get behind that movement... Waffles if you are  part of the Silvervine Collation, let me join your cause!!

(3) Miss Penelope raised the theory that Waffles could be a figment of our imagination. I have to admit that I wondered this myself. We all know Glogirly is highly skilled at photoshop - could this be a clever illusion (like those photos where you can see more than one thing... those freak me out)

(4) Da Tabbies o Trout Towne think that "waffles be de huzband oh katie; they meeted at a salmon swap bak in september N it wuz lovez at furst site.....at de salmon that iz...then it wuz loves at second site when they sawed each other.....let uz noe what we can due ta help find him....we still haz de code ta de spiez plane from R visit a few bak !!!" This is an intriguing idea, but I do not want to believe that BOOTIFUL Miss Kaite has a husband *sniffle*

(5) Elyse K suggested we stake out Catbucks, the last known whereabouts of Waffles. An EXCELLENT plan - I suggest that we take shifts till this mystery is solved!

To all of you that have volunteered to help - I give my hearty thanks, and say that we start acting on some of these tips!
Please don't forget to vote for Miss Katie - today is the last day and she deserves to win! http://enter.thefriskies.com/katie-is-accused/

Task force ENGAGE - Rumbles

My friends, a matter of deep concern has gripped the blogosphere for over a month now. That concern is...

Who is Waffles?

The first mention of the mysterious Waffles was during Miss Katie (of Glogirly blog) campaign to become 'Cat Ruler of the World' Waffles was instrumental in the victorious election of Miss Katie... and then he DISAPPEARED.  

Every now and then we catch a flash of him, but nothing substantial. Inquiries into his whereabouts have been unanswered.

We MUST find Waffles. 

I propose a task force to investigate and uncover this mystery, and I ask WHO IS WITH ME?

The truth is out there!!

UPDATE: There is some evidence from the BOOTIFUL Cathy Keisha that Waffles MAY not be a 'he' !

Trick or Treats

And we will accept Greenies!!

Many thanks to Miss Wendy who made us these AWESOME avatars! I'm an excellent wolf, and how perfect that Hammy is one of the three little piggies! *noming on Hammy's tail*

Is it wrong that I find myself nommy?

Hey Hammy! C'mere a moment!

Which end is up - Rumblepurr

I'll wake up when that Hammy is asleep...

Goodbye winter - Rumbles

Soon I will not need my beloved mink blankie... and there will be sunpuddles!

If you haven't seen it already, check out our pal Katie and vote vote vote for her cool video!

A man-cats box is his castle - Rumblepurr

A man-cat needs a box to sit and think in.

I think about bootiful lady-cats, little fishies and
cuddles with the Rumblemum

No Hammy. There isn't room for YOU in here.
Only me.

Something special here - Rumbles

Hello my friends! I'm gonna do something I've NEVER done before... review some BOOKS!

Rumblemum has been reading me some very special books, written by friends of mine from the Katz Tales blog.

Katz Tales The Adventures Of Scoop and Au - telling the story of two handsome man-cats in Malaysia, this book gives insights not just into the titular characters, but also to the relationship I have with Rumblemum. The 15 stories in this book are funny, touching and always entertaining.

Katz Tales Au And Target The Early Years - The second book really hit home for Rumblemum - it takes place after the loss of sweet Scoop, and adds new little brother (Target) to the family. These stories reminded Rumblemum of how I had to learn to be a big brother to that Ham, after being the little brother to Inigo for so long.

Target says BUY MY BOOK!

While I don't read many books, Rumblemum does. She says that these stories are remarkable - incredibly well written and the type of stories you stay up to finish.

The proceeds of the books go to the Trap Neuter Release of feral kitties, so you're not just buying very cool novels you're also helping some unfortunate kitties to a better life. Priced at $2 USD for digital copies you can't go wrong!

Hamtastic!

It's HAMMY here! I have a dilema that I'm hoping you can help with. I'm BORED of my toys!

I used to love Da Bird, but lately I'm meh about it. Rumblemum has tried all the different attachements but no dice. Same with the laser. Just not interested. But I want to PLAY and I mew mew mew so sadly!

 What do you guys recommend?

Entertain ME!!

Pudgy Pugs and Fat Cats

Hi all,

I've been asked to post a sponsored post on behalf of VioVet (based in the UK) about the troubling obesity issue in pets.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

As the UK has been confirmed as the fattest nation in Europe, it is unsurprising that our pets also struggle with their weight. It has even been predicted that by 2020 over half of the pets in the UK will be obese and there is soon to be a pet stair lift on the shelves.

 People laugh at overweight pets even more so than they do at people and, granted sometimes it can be amusing to see an overfed Dachshund or pug, like Dennis Quaid’s ‘Pudgy’, waddling along (their legs are short enough as it is) it simply isn’t fair to the animals to allow them to become so unhealthy.

Dennis Quaid and 'Pudgy'

It is not just dogs that get overweight. Indeed, last year, my cat Bobby put on a bit of weight after having to be on a special diet to manage his urinary tract disease. Luckily, helpfully, once he had recovered, I discovered that there are other special diets to aid management of animals prone to obesity and who are overweight. I began by using Hill’s w/d. One of my main concerns was the possibility of Bobby continuing to lose weight past the point of the ideal weight but the maintenance of the ideal weight is one of the key features that Hill’s includes.

 Bobby says 'NOM'

Unfortunately, as Bobby is so fussy, after about two months he decided he was bored of this food and refused to eat it so I had no choice but to search out another. So then I bought Purina OM which claims to do the exact same thing and I have had no problems with it at all.

Some people prefer not to change their pet’s diets if they know their pet’s food tastes are fussy, in which case the best thing to do would be to make sure they get the exercise they need. For indoor cats this means making sure to have a lot of play-time and toys. With dogs you can really get involved and dog toys are a great way to do so.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

And in conclusion, here is a handsome photo of me!

Look! Up in the air! It's a BIRDIE!

The face of an angel - Rumbles

My friends on Facebook will have already seen this one, but look at what an angel I am! I am not at all like that brother of mine, who sits and begs for ham! I just flash this face and wait for the ham to come to ME!

I will also accept tuna and chicken!
