Good Morning Everyone! This is PHX. I got so sick of watching Tiffany talk with you guys everyday...that I told her to let me have a chance! She is so self centered sometimes, ya know?

So, this morning for breakfast I ate my regular food as usual. But she must really love me, because she left me a can of some yummy wet food as well. I wonder if she has more of those, I will search today!

Well, if anyone else would like to chat...just come to my window and MEOW!

Happy Hunting!

MEOWWWWWW,

Puff here. I'm the big buy with the fuzzy tail. I'm mean and I ain't lean. Mom is on this stupid thing all day too. So I feel like we've got a common bond. I can't say that I complain much since she brought that rug rat home. Sure I complained at first. I even thought about ripping his eyes out when she first brought him home. But man she's got these things on me that makes my nails weird.

Anyway. After I calmed down I realized I could beat him up all day..kinda fun..haha.

Maybe you can come over too and you can groom me.

Sincerely,

Puff the Magic Kitty.

Hey Puff, It's PHX here...

I can't believe that your servant would bring home another cat. Did she ask your permission?

I keep begging my servant to get me a friend...but she's not listening. I thought she took a class on cat talk, but I guess not. Oh well, I might just have to keep asking her!

All day I sit in the window and wait for someone. Do you know how boring it is to be at home all day by yourself? When the human servant gets home- I wait on the back of the couch and then lunge myself at her. I just want her to know to not leave me again. Sometimes I wonder if she is coming back...but she always does!

When can you get your servants to leave the house Puff? I will come over and groom you anytime... I will have to smell your butt first to see if you are male or female. I am male...and I'm good looking. All the ladies want me! Do you like cats with crossed eyes? They are pretty blue!

MEOW!

Hi Phx,

Hey I am male. But uh.. I had a terrible accident and lost my um.

you know. *shudder*. Needless to say I don't like those people in white coats that tell me everythings going to be ok.

My human doesn't leave the house too much! But on weekends she leaves sometimes. So come on over.

No she didn't tell me anything about this rug rat. I was pretty happy being all on my own. You know I made one cat live in his litter box when I was at the shelter. hehe. I hated that cat.

Hey Phx you got one of those K9 thingies? Before I had this rug rat to torment I enjoyed attacking that thing. Sure she's bigger than I am but I put the F in Fear! haha. Which is why these stupid claws are on me. Mommy says I can't hurt the "baby puppy". Bla. makes me sick I can't tear her eyes out.

Hey when you come over perhaps YOU can tear her eyes out. Your human doesn't do that to you does she.

Emma speaking. (You know, the cute one in the household.)

We have a dog, too. I just call him slave... no fancy nicknames. He likes to sniff me, but I can care less about him. The only reason I hang out near him is so mommy will let me outside when she opens the door for us. he's a bit annoying, and likes to bark when I won't play with him, but I just bop him on the nose and he shuts up. *undignified snort* Like I'd ever play with a D-O-G.

My mommy has me on a diet. I hate her. I only get half a can of food a day, and it's not even the big cans that the humans eat soup out of sometimes. It's terrible. And last night, when I told her I was hungry, she gave me PEAS. Yes, you heard me, PEAS. She actually had the nerve to give me green little vegetable things. You'd think no one informed her there were hundreds of crickets for the taking right outside, but nooooo she gave me a small plate of peas and made me do tricks for them.

You guys are so lucky to have mommys who feed you lots and lots of food.

Mine used to.... but she says I got so fat the vet was worried about my health. My health was fine, there was just more of me to love. Hmmph. Now mom said she's started to be able to feel my ribs again.

Does anyone have any extra food for me? *cries*

[The mom would like to add a disclaimer here that Emma is actually not starving and she just thinks she is, and she LIKED those peas.]

mybabyphx

28th September 2007 - 03:18 PM

Emma,

How dare your mother not feed you the food you want! Here.. take half of mine!

As soon as my mom sees my plate empty, she fills it back up again- no questions asked.

So, do you have a lot of experience training the humans? I would love to learn more. My human is so stupid, she does whatever I want her to! She's a slow learner though.

This weekend my goal is to snuggle up with her and watch movies. I told her that last night!

Anyone want some milk?

Off to go destroy the world!

SalemWitchChild

28th September 2007 - 04:47 PM

OO. This is how you train a human.

First, you must have the most pathetic meow possible. Draw it out.. like Meeeeoooowwwww.

Then, stand up on your back paws and slap their hand. This lets them know you want something.

Next, race to your bowl and back to your human again. This associates the food bowl with your pathetic meow and your hand slapping.

Repeat and soon your human will understand your commands.

However once in awhile the human race breeds a dense owner. Don't worry. You too can train them. However you will need to take a more direct approach. With this type of human, I go to the food container and tip it over. You may or may not get to open it. But your human will have to go pick the container back up and then they'll open it and give you some so you'll stop tipping the container over. Works every time!

Thank you, PHX.

She took me to Foster's Grill earlier and I got to lick some of her peppermint candy and she sneaked me a bit of a fry. I also had an all-you-can-eat grass buffet when we came home and before we went, so the kibble you gave me reallyyyyy hit the spot! Thanks! *affectionate head butt*

Puff's training method works VERY well, it's what I've always use on two of the humans in my household. However, one of them, my mom, is really dense. I mean, she's dumber than a doornail. How does she even function? Well, anywho, I'm getting off-track here.

To train the dumb ones Method 1 (biting) works well. Jump on them, pretend to be hunting something, and bite. Hard. They yell, jump up, and will chase you. You can run straight to the food dish and smile at them, that generally gets what you want.

Tom likes to use Method 2 (meowing) to get his way. It's surprisingly effective if you are diligent. To implement Method 2, just follow your human around, meowing and howling, maybe with an occasional trill for variety, and don't stop. If you keep the racket up for several minutes they give in. Just STOP meowing the moment they start doing the right thing... for example, getting up and moving towards the food dish. Start meowing again if they pass the food dish. Once they are in front of the dish sit quietly and wait for it to sink in, they'll figure out what you're after. If, for some reason, your human walks away once you have herded her to the dish... immediately follow on said human's heels, howling at the top of your lungs.

As I said, this works well for Tom. But it requires diligence. I prefer the biting method, because they can't ignore it when asleep.

I use Tom's method... #2. I got my human trained that every time I meow.... she looks at me. I like to practice with how long I can meow, how loud, and how many pitches! I love meowing in her ear when she's sleeping!

As of right now she has been out of the house for 12 hours... I think she's cheating on me...with other kitties.

29th September 2007 - 12:22 PM

Hi everyone, Reeses here. Rrrrrrrr!

Did anyone else have a late breakfast this morning? I USUALLY eat at about 4, 4:30, but try as I could I could not wake my owner's up, especially the male one. I tried everything: Bringing my toy on the bed and playing with it, batting at the blind adjustments, finally at 7 (3 hours later, how rude!) I stood in between both of my owner's and meowed once really loud. That did it. The male one probably felt sorry for making me wait so long!

..and to think I came in soon after they went to bed and laid on the bed with them for hours, something which I don't do as much lately. So much for kissing up...

mybabyphx

1st October 2007 - 10:26 AM

Reeses, 3 hours late is unacceptable in my book. Usually, the human gives me food BEFORE she goes to bed... she thinks it will make me leave her a lone in the morning! HA!

This morning I fell asleep waiting for her to wake up, but when she woke up to the loud annoying beeping thing.. she rolled on me! YIPPPEEEEEE Time to get up and play! That woke me up so quick.

The other night my human didn't come home until 4am... not that I was keeping track. I was out of food and water at that time... since she usually feeds me at 9pm! Don't worry I bit her ankle for that one.....twice!

She has those stupid things in the window, MY WINDOW, so I put them on the floor for her. All weekend we played the game.... I move them down, she picks them up, I move them down, she picks them up...

Any other cats have a great weekend?

MEOWWWWWWWWWWW!

Hi. Baby Taz here. Puff is off somewhere doing whatever he does when he disappears. So I figured I'd talk for awhile. I'm here in mom's lap like usual. She's got a comfy lap.

So I'm just hanging out till someone adopts me. Mom said she thinks the shelter forgot about me. Don't worry mom says I'm staying till I get a home. I really like being able to be here instead of the shelter.

Know anyone who would like to adopt me? I'm very loving. Have you saw my video yet? If not take a look. Mom says she worked hard on it.

Well you kitties have a good day. I'm going to take a nap on mom's arms.

Hey guys!

Summer here!

To my fellow cupboard loving Puff. Getting used to a new brother is a pain! You will soon become attached. I LOVE giving Chevy baths. He never returns them, but his face is SOOO dirty!

I hope you find a home soon Taz....until then, you're with a great family!

Wake your humans up when they forget to feed you....or even if you just want attention. Walk all over them and meow as loud as you can while purring! That's what I do. If that doesn't work....then lick them...they LOVE the feel of our tongues!!!

mybabyphx

1st October 2007 - 05:55 PM

You guys are so lucky to have other cats to fight with in your house. I am all by myself... I keep telling my mommy to get more cats- but she complains about money. What is money? I hear that word a lot? I know she uses it, but I never see it.

Right now my mommy is at work, so I'm TAKING OVER THE HOUSE! I figured out how to push those buttons to make the tv change people talking. Sometimes I like to lay on it to make it go faster. Do you ever do that?

Alright guys, I'm off to find a new napping spot. I will talk to you when I wake up!

MEEEEEEEEEEEEOW!

1st October 2007 - 10:36 PM

Emma here... just checking in to see how things are going with you guys. Doesn't look like it's so good. My mom was out with the dog all darned day long, she had him hitched up to a sled. Said something about training. it looked like (hopefully) a death wish for her. I cannot imagine deigning to pull something for anyone, and she had the nerve to just hitch that mutt up and let him pull. Cannot even believe it.

To top things off today, I didn't get breakfast OR dinner. I got a measly pea or two and a marrowbone. I had to repeatedly sit and down just to get petted today--she was muttering something about working for her affection. Life sucks. [MOM would like to insert here that she got a HANDFUL of peas, nearly a whole bone, a bunch of bean soup, a handful of the dog's kibble and to top it off... half of Tom's breakfast. Overall this was nearly 2x the amount of her normal food and god knows how many calories, and she just got dinner. Gawd this cat stretches the truth.]

Anyone want my human? I'll donate five cans of Wellness with her if you'll take her off my hands immediately.

noludoru

2nd October 2007 - 04:21 PM

Hi, um, it's me, Chili. Emma just wanted me to check in with you guys and apologize.. she won't be here for a while, mom says she's grounded for stretching the truth, whatever she means by that.

Anyhow, she says Tom or I can sub for her.. which is cool, she always batted me away from the keyboard before!

mybabyphx

2nd October 2007 - 07:30 PM

Hey Chili. It's nice to finally meet you. Emma is grounded? EEK! That doesn't sound good! What does that mean anyways?

My human has been working ALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL day. That has given me plenty of time to knock over her plant, eat all my food, sleep in her bed, and play in the water at the bottom of the toilet. Do you ever play in the toilet? I love it when it goes round in circles... Sometimes I try to catch it.

MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEOW!

noludoru

2nd October 2007 - 08:13 PM

It's nice to meet you, too! I think grounded pretty much means she isn't allowed on the keyboard anymore, because mom has been picking her up and setting her on the ground when she tries to make a post, and scowling at her if she tries to bat me away.

I also really like the toilet.. it has the best flavored water. I'm not too fond of when it swirls around though. I fell in it once when it did that, it was pretty scary.

Well.. my day so far hasn't been good.... mom accidentally let the dumb dog loose in a room with me, she didn't know I was there, and he chased me for a bit till I puffed up and growled scarily at him. THAT showed the little freak. Mom took him away and locked me in the bathroom a while to calm down, but she forgot about me and went outside... luckily the window was open and she heard me telling her how lonely I was, and she let me out. I've been on the top bunk of the bed since. I don't care how much she likes the dog and insists he's a member of the family--he's a dog and if he doesn't stay away from me he shall be thrashed like one.

Mommy has scars to prove how good I am at scratching things, too.

Well.. off for a nap before dinnertime. Maybe I can shed all over mom's sweater before then, too. She says she hates the fur everywhere, but I know she's lying--when she thinks I'm asleep she whispers in my ear how much she loves my pretty orange and black fur! I'm sure she needs some to adorn her sweater.

Mrrow!

Hey Guys! Chevy here! I learned something new last night and today. Meowmy gave us KFC! Summer stood a few feet away, and Meowmy ripped off some pieces and gave them to her! What a MARVEL idea!!! I learned today that if Summer and I just sitt and stare and be cute, we can get some more! I LOVE me some chicken....although I think my sister Summer loves more!

Hopefully Emma gets ungrounded soon!

noludoru

2nd October 2007 - 08:20 PM

What.. you don't like hearing from me?

Anywho, you are LUCKY you got KFC... once Emma and I raided the table at dinnertime when the humans were eating this... they got Emma's chicken breast, but no one saw my leg and Emma and I shared it and ate almost the entire thing, even some of the bone! We felt so proud of ourselves, and no one noticed till the next day. It did make me pretty greasy, though.

SalemWitchChild

2nd October 2007 - 08:24 PM

Puff here. I heard y'all talking about those mangy mutts. First let me tell you I hate em! But mom made me realize I gotta be a bit civil or else I cant stay. She says the dog was here first. I personally think that thing is stupid. But she seems to have an attachment to it. So eventually I realized I had to behave. Sure sometimes I give a little slap or two. Sometimes she just gets into my personal space and I've got to do what a kitties gotta do ya know. But I felt a bit better when mom bought my cat tree. I can get up there to get away from the mutt.

As far as potty water I can't say I like it. But I do like getting in moms lap while she's using the potty. That's our personal cuddle time. And I get real mad when she locks me out of there. I cry a lot and put my paw under the door so she knows I'm there. Sometimes I can wiggle the door open.

Well it's past time for me to eat. Mom says she'll feed me in a minute so time for me to start crying till she gets up and gets it.. Lets hope it's canned food.

Meow for now,

Puff.

Summer here.

Chevy never said he doesn't like you Emma. I think he may have a little crush because you're so beautiful!!! Shhh don't tell him I told you....

Train your humans to leave all doors open at all times. Be persistant about it! I taugh my Grandmeowmy that real fast when she visited. She apologized so all was forgiven.

I have tipped over the garbage can before to get chicken bones....the new one we got makes it hard to do that though...

P.S. I hate dogs! I'm sure glad Meowmy decided to go to a kitty only vet now....although I STILL hate the ride there!!!! I honestly don't know how Chevy can just sit there and not say anything!!!!

Do you guys hide the best you can too when your Meowmy gets out the carrier? I'm the master!!!!

SalemWitchChild

3rd October 2007 - 06:17 PM

Hi Guys and Gals. It's Puff again.

Does your meowmy have lots of string? She has this table with lots and lots on it. When she's not using it she hides it from me. But boy do I have fun when she has it all out. I like to chew on it and eat it! Mommy gets mad at me and says I'm not "Helping her sew". I don't care about that machine. I just want the string that's in it!

sofiecusion

4th October 2007 - 09:04 AM

Chevy here. No string allowed here. I heard stories of how Summer swallowed some and had to have surgery. She still likes to chew on the string on Da Bird and stuff....that stuff has to be put away....she also did the dame thing with scotch tape off a poster!

Darn sisters have to ruin all the fun....

Hey Guys.. PHX checking in!

Last night when my mommy came home, I snuck out the door! Ya I got all the way to the end of the driveway. I didn't know where to go, so I just layed down and rolled in the dirt. It was such a relief! Mom let me play for like 5 minutes, and then picked me up and brought me back in.

Have you guys figured out how to get into those big blue tubs with lids? My mommy keeps the treats and food in there... I would love to get in there and see what she's holding out on me!

I keep trying to tell my mommy that I want another brother/sister... I think she is ignoring my signals. What is the best way to tell her? I get so darn bored during the day without her! I want someone I can fight with!

Happy Eating!

Hey guys/gals! PHX here... just wanted to check in and say hi!

Let's see... what did I do this weekend??? OH! I know.. you know those one decoritive pumkin looking things??? Well, mommy had them sitting in the window for "fall decoration" and they were in the way of my view so I put them on the floor. I accidently broke one of them. Mommy was a little upset, she said "I'm sick of picking these up after you every day. Can't you just leave things alone!"

Last night mommy let me out in the front yard with her. How come she only lets me out when ssssssssssssshe's outside? It's no fun that way, because I can't get into trouble if she's watchin' my every move!

Is Emma still grounded? I'm starting to miss her... she's has that gorgeous fur, and those pretty eyes...... Hopefully, she gets ungrounded soon!

Everyone have a great week!
