Monday Meme

It's Monday and time to get our Meme on.

We were tagged by Steppa, Eric & Flynn and The Pouponette for the Eight Random Things meme. We will take two things each.

Oliver It took my humans one whole year to trap me. I'd sit and stare from the bushes or fence, I wouldn't even feed, then I'd be gone for three weeks at a time. I was a canny young feral tom with a big range. Now I'm a home lovin' camera hussy.
My miaow is a tiny squeak. It gets me what I want so who needs a macho miaow?
.
Gerry
My tongue is totally smooth like silk. I'm an original see.
I am named Gerry because when I was handed in to the vets, I was in such a manky state the Nurses thought I was 9000 years old and rather rudely named me Gerry as short for Geriatric.

Angel I sleep by my Mum's head every night and chatter if the duvet isn't arranged just right.
When I was netted with my brother Thomas at ten weeks old, I bit through my human's thumb, right down to the bone. But he didn't let us go. I'm glad about that.

Whicky Wuudler

I paddle the air with my back paws when I'm dreaming about stamping on moles I have caught. I can open a fuud bin that has locking clips on the lid, and do it quietly too.

We are rather late to this meme, so if any cat wants to do it, consider yourselves tagged. We love learning all about you cats of the world. We have got all behind with everything at Everycat due to the recent guests. But now the apes don't have all that fluffy, kitteny nonsense going on to distract them, they can get to making posts about us and catching up...


Team Tabby gave us this pretty Butterfly Award. Thank you Mindy & Moe. Dana & The Creek Cats gave us this Sharing The Love Award. Thank you all.

We wish every cat a Magnificent Monday!

That was a great Meme. You are such a great bunch of cats! Whicky open a lock, what a clever boy you are! I will be playing soon too.

(angel) Grrreta and Fam said...

You are some very fascinating cats. Oliver, I'm so glad your humans were so patient when trying to catch you, so that you could have the pampered existence you deserve. Angel, good luck training your humans to arrange the duvet properly. Gerry, you are very special to have a smooth tongue. Whicky, your skill at opening food bins qualifies you as my hero.

Jake and Bathsheba said...

Thanks for defending me to my brother, Whicky Wuudler! He is a very naughty cat and gets away with things because he's so handsome cute.

We enjoyed reading about you all and enjoyed meeting those kittens in some of your other recent posts.

Good to know a little more about you kitties. Thanks for visiting me!! Love visitors even though SS is home a lot more now.

Forever Foster said...

Holy freejolies! Your man human must be super tough not to have let go of you, Angel! Our mum would have screamed like an infant and probably passed out!

Thankyou to you all for being so wonderful to us about the babies. Your kindness was truly appreciated.

Parker said...

Hey Oliver, I'd say that being a 'home lovin' camera hussy' is the best way to be!

The Meezers or Billy said...

those are all great things to know!!

Goldie, Shade and Banshee said...

Whicky, may we stomp moles together some day.

Purrs, Goldie

Memories of Eric and Flynn said...

Bet you are glad you got caught in the end Oliver.
Gerry, you look cute peeping out from under whatever it is you are hiding under. You don't look like a Gerry hat trick to us.
Angel, you sound like one feisty lady.
Whicky, we have to say we are very impressed that you can open fuud containers. Want to pop around and teach us how?

Christine and FAZ said...

You are 4 very unique cats. FAZ

seriously amused said...

Congrats on your awards!

It's fun learning more about you all, and the facial expressions in the photos are priceless.

Whicky, you and Cinza could trade notes on opening things. She opens drawers, cupboards and has recently figured out how to open the sliding door to the closet. The humans figure it's only a matter of time before she learns to get into the fridge or use can openers.

Ms. P and Cinza

Cafe Cats said...

Those are some neat things about you all. It would be neat to have a smooth tongue! Angel, you must have very strong teeths to bite so hard when you were just a baby.

Fat Eric said...

Whicky, please will you come round and teach me how to open food containers??? Also, if you can catch moles, how about coming and trying to get a mouse that has been terrorising my humans (I don't do mice so I haven't been helping).

Licks to my floof-buddy Oliver.

Ellen Whyte said...

Your Mum and Dad are very lucky to have adopted such wonderful furkids! Going from feral to all snuggly safe is just the best thing ever and I'm so happy for you four sweet kitties! Your stories made me smile.
Hugs and Smoochies,
Lorianna

Mr. Hendrix said...

Wow Oliver! You certainly were stubborn. I'm so glad you let yourself be caught so you have a wonderful forever home now.

How old are you Gerry? You certainly don't look 9000! I hope you peed on that mean nurse for teasing you.

Angel! You and I have the same sleeping habits! I too like my covers arranged just right. You're one tough cookie to bite like that!

Wickey, I am so jealous that you get to attack moles! I remember when I was feral and got to kill stuff. That is what I dream about, but I can hardly remember the taste...

Munchie said...

pretty picsures.


i dont knows if i coulds handle sharing my food with that many kitties. but if it all works out for yous!

Nomi said...

You are all so different and fascinating !

Mickey's Musings said...

We would like you around here! heehee

Oliver ... I'm going to snatch you up for mine! ;o) *Whimpurr*

Karen Jo said...

It was great learning so much about all of you. Whicky, opening the food bin is a great skill to have. Since you can catch moles, how would you like to come over to my house and try your luck with gophers?

Angel, Kirby and Max said...

I like to sellp on thebed to, Angle, but I only sleep on the special quilt at the foot. no one told me that was my place, I just adpoted it. maybe some day I will get more comfortable living inside and snuggle with Mom and Dad.
