I Like Pillows & Guido's Mom

Sometimes the Food Dude will lie on the floor. He has a nice set up with a plastic thingie underneath, and two pillows. He also has the cable television control within reach. He warms it up for me. As soon as he gets up, I run over and sit on the pillows. The Food Dude is a good bean. He knows how to take care of a fantastic Mancat like me! I love this warm pillow spot.

Today the US played in the World Cup. The US lost. But I won - as I should - I am Jackpot the Cat, after all. I won because Guido's mom came to visit and she gave me great scratches, brought me peacock feathers and special nip, and gave me lots of attention. I hope she comes back soon.

As you can see, she made me very happy!

The Daily Whap

Welcome to my Cat Tree! I have located it in the perfect place: where I can keep watch on the back yard if I face one direction, and where I can keep an eye on the beans from the other direction. But the best part of the location of my Cat Tree is that I get to give the Food Lady The Daily Whap! She has to walk by me every morning as she gets ready to start her day. So I've started giving her a daily whap with one of my big man paws every morning. I don't use my claws. I just give her a love whap. It is sort of a game - for me. She says, "No daily whap today." I just wait til a few minutes later and I get her then!! Haha. I am slowly bending all beans who are in this household to my will.

Me and My Homie

Here is a picture of me, with my homie, Ryan. Ryan has been away at college. He came home to visit me. As you can see, we really like each other! He says he's making up a song about me so I can post it on the blog. I can't wait!

Here are the birds of the day. They are trumpet swans. Aren't they pretty?

Bird of the Day

Here is a birdie. He was sent to me by the father of one of the Food Lady's best friends who lives in this place. I call him the Birdie Man. He is sending me lots of birdie pictures to look at. I will share them with you. I have to ask the Birdie Man what this birdie is called. Do any of you know? I like having the birdie pictures in my house because I can't get to the birdies outside.

Also, the Food Lady bean wants you all to know that she has been very, very busy with a work project. That is why she hasn't been around to visit your bloggies for me, and why this is the first post for weeks and weeks. I'm putting her back to work. See you all soon!

Cats In My House

Look! Look! There are cats in my house. They are big, giant cats! Sometimes they stand up on this table and play. See? There they are now. I want to play too.

Here are some more of the cats in my house. Sometimes I talk to them and they talk back to me. Then I reach my big manpaws up on the TV table and try to whap the kitties. The Food Lady Bean caught me getting ready to jump up and play with the kitties but she told me I have to stay down on the floor and just talk to them. I'll obey that advice just like I obeyed the advice not to jump out the open window! Just wait til she turns her back!

I like to watch the kitties when they are playing on top of the table. I also like it when the birdies are up there too. The birdies in my back yard have been asking me to come out and play with them. Now that they are inside the house, I will have a chance to do that. Don't tell the Food Lady Bean!

I Escaped!

Hahaha! The beans had a window open just a tiny, tiny bit. They saw me on the window sill, looking outside at these pretty flowers in my yard. Sometimes I see neighborhood kitties over here too. The beans called me down from the window and closed it even more. But then I did a magic trick! I jumped back up on the window sill. The Food Lady Bean was getting a drink of water and I just squeezed through the little opening and jumped down!!! Uh, it was a lot farther down than I thought. The Food Lady Bean ran outside and the Food Dude Bean ran to the door closest to me to let me in. First I tried to jump back up inside the house through the window. But it was very, very far and I could not leap that high. Then I cried for a few seconds and got scared. Then I went inside where the Food Dude Bean had opened the door.

Here I am contemplating my escape. I think I will stay inside for a while.

Joyful Jackpot

Do I look like a happy mancat?

Have you ever noticed my big mancat paws and claws? Aren't they pawsome?!!

I love the feather toy. Sometimes the beans leave it hanging from a chair at night. Then, in the morning, they find it in a totally new place! I am Master of the feather toy.
