Y’all notice my fancy new banner up there? I made it myself. Jean made me a banner for September, which reminded me that I hadn’t switched banners at the beginning of August, so I whipped that one up to put up there for the next week and a half. You know you wish you had my talent with the Photoshopz.
Yesterday, someone left this comment on Flickr, under my picture of Ciara (not) stressing.
Robyn, I swear, if you don’t stop giving those cats unlimited access to whisky and ganja, I’ma have to report you!
Little did she know that, probably at the VERY MOMENT she was leaving that comment, pictures were being taken.
I love how she’s pretty much spooning with the bottle.
“Wush up, guysh?”
Note to self: keep liquor cabinet locked! (Further note to self: get liquor cabinet.)
I’m so sad that we didn’t have a pack of cigarettes around. Though I’m sure we could have come up with plenty of pill bottles to scatter around her, now that I think about it!
This is Scarlett:
I guess you could call her Maw Peppers. Isn’t she a beauty? She’s the mother of The Peppers Gang – you remember (maybe) that the man who found her on his doorstep decided to keep her. She’s been spayed and tested, and she’s all set to live the life of a pampered princess kitty. From all reports, she loves her daddy quite a bit.
Harlan looks a LOT like her.
Know who else Harlan looks like? It’s the funniest thing, these two pictures were side by side in my “to share” folder.
Here’s Harlan:
Annnndd…..
Da Corbs.
I sure do love the brown tabbies.
“WHAT YOU WANT, LADY?”
“Git over here and pet us, lady! Geez!”
One Lucy leapin’.
Everett’s all “What just happened here?”
“Wait, I better get in on this!”
Later, Everett got into it with Harlan.
Until Everett decided that Sally’s butt needed a big bite taken out of it.
Loony Jake…
is loony.

We have had the friendliest long haired calico hanging around our house for the last month or so. My wee one named her “Ned.” She does not have a feral bone in her body and will demand to be petted and never wants to stop. She desperately wants to come in the house but I am severely allergic to kitties. I cannot resist petting her sometimes and then have to come in and do a surgical scrub up my arms or get in the shower. I was worried about her reproducing so I made an appointment for her and my husband took her to Humane Ohio to get her spayed. We got a call from them in the afternoon that they knocked her out, shaved her belly, and saw she had a scar from already being spayed.
We live along a state route heavy with traffic, most of which are semis and dump trucks. I do not believe in having animals outside and we are worried about her for obvious reasons. The coyotes are running rampant and will get braver once it gets a bit colder. We live in the Toledo area and need to find her a home. She isn’t very big and I thought she was a teen kitty. She is mostly white on the legs and underside. When she showed up, there were chunks cut from her fur that looked like the work of a child. She befriended my 6-year-old and is friendly to anyone who comes in our yard. We call her our guard cat. We have 2 big dogs in the house and she still desperately wants to come in. She knows exactly how far their tie-out reaches and will lie just out of reach and flick her tail at them.
Her eyes are yellow with little slits for pupils. She is a gorgeous kitty but her eyes that to me sometimes look evil, although she clearly is not, and no one else thinks so. She has a Monroe beauty mark on her upper lip. We really need to find a home for her and none of the no-kill shelters will take her right now. Currently, she has made herself comfy in our garage and my husband will often lock her in there at night. I will send you some pictures of her later. Hopefully one of your readers are fairly local and would like to pamper her as she loves and deserves to be pampered. She is adorable. When my little one goes outside, she runs to him like a dog. She also runs to my husband. She will come when called and I am sure to fill her belly with treats daily. If anyone is interested, please let me know. Thanks.
Wow! I was sure long-winded. She is an awesome kitty and there is so much more I could say about her. Poor Ned(lee). We really enjoy her but living on this street is not safe for her.
Kristina, I’ll definitely post about her – shoot me as many pictures as you can!
Random question…is that wainscoat on the ceiling? I was thinking about doing that in my bathroom and wasn’t sure how it would look. Do you like the look?
That is an excellent question; I’ll ask Fred and get back to you.
It’s no wonder those kittehs are SO gorgeous; Scarlett is just stunning!!! And, seriously, can we all learn from Robyn’s unfortunate experience? The catnip? Is only the beginning. Next thing you know, you’ve got a drunk kitteh in the middle of a pile of empty bottles. JUST SAY NO TO NIP!
For two people that don’t drink you sure have a lot of booze layin’ around! Love the pics of the kitten with the bottles, she looks very happy!
LOL – I know! I was just telling Suzanne last week that two years ago I thought “Huh. Strawberry Dacquiris would be good!” and I bought the mix and the alcohol and… we just never got around to it. Both bottles are unopened still!
I’m a mostly non-drinker, too… I’ve got Mike’s Hard Lemonade in my fridge from not last year’s, but the year before’s Oscar ceremonies because I had a party and thought it’d be fun to have a drink. I think I drank one and felt vaguely sick all evening.
People who barely drink usually end up with leftover booze sitting around. It’s the people who really like it who use it up faster
Robyn, your gardening skills know no bounds! Your kitten tree is in full bloom and those kitties look almost ripe enough to pick. I wouldn’t recommend dehydrating them, though. Seems like they might haz a complaint about that.
Also, it’s no wonder Ciara fakes sick every time it’s her turn to go to Petsmart. Who’d want to give up that awesome life? Hell, I want it.
You need to post more Jake Face. I love his looney look!!
Me too! Too darned cute.
Love the cats and the booze pictures. A good way to start my day!
The Looney Jake pictures are fabulous as always. His face is so expressive!
Um, is there something… wrong with Jake? I mean that in the nicest possible way. He’s totally my favorite (don’t tell Sugarbutt or Miz Poo!) but he always looks so…odd.
Betsy, you made me LOL. No, there’s nothing wrong with him, that’s just the way he looks. He’s a loon!
When I saw that banner last night I thought: are we that close to September? Then I thought: Has that been there all month? I must be losing my mind–why didn’t I notice the leopard spots??
Those Loony Jake pictures cracked me up! He is almost, but not quite… “walleyed”.
Loony Jake made me laugh so hard I almost peed my pants. That is so funny.
That was meeeee with the liquor and ganja comment! (I don’t know why I don’t use my regular nickname on Flickr, probably because I never intended to actually use the account. I wonder if I can change it…)
Anyway, as I was typing it, I remembered the video where I “accused” you of getting the kittens drunk before filming them. It’s a good thing I don’t drink much or imbibe in other Adult Substances, or I’m not sure I’d be able to trust myself with my own cats!
By the way, I took a brief – unintended – nap this morning, and dreamed I had a momma cow and young bull, though they were medium-dog-sized. I was telling someone that I needed to get the bull fixed because he was getting too aggressive, and that although he simply wanted belly-scratches, his horns were wreaking hell on my legs, when the cow got her head stuck in an empty 24-case box of Coke and ran mooing around my office. Naturally I thought, “I wonder if Robyn’s cows ever get their heads stuck in stuff?” My subconscious is demanding that you get cows – note plural – and answer this burning question. The fate of humanity might depend upon it!
Jake’s eyes and ears seem a bit more rounded than most cats’; I think that’s what gives him that “slightly off” look. It’s not really noticeable on its own (to me, at least); I had to compare to a few other photos of cats in similar poses, but his eyes always seem to have that huge, fascinated, entirely circular shape, without the corners tapering things out at the sides.
Also, I can’t tell in these photos but I remember thinking before that his muzzle was a bit shorter than I’d expect. Very subtle differences individually, but taken all together, he’s definitely different. (In the best possible way!)
