This is me opening up my present from my Wisconsin Grandma. The paper is extra fun to play with. The humans always take my toys to "unpack" them, so I have to have stuff to do while I wait. Finally, my toy is ready to play with..... swat! swat! 
Well the family has gone , Christmas is over, and it's back to work for me. I've got to help get this bathroom done because I am the official "helper cat." Kosmo has been labeled the "in the way" cat because he just runs underfoot. I am handy with my paws and can help with painting. It's easy, you just step in the paint and walk around. The humans are using this FreshAir paint that has no VOCs so they didn't even care when I tried to eat it. They said it won't hurt me but they need the paint so it's not food. Darn it..... it looked so tasty.
Well, the bathroom didn't get done, but it wasn't for the lack of trying...just the lack of drying. Ha ha I crack myself up. The tile glue didn't dry so we can't finish grouting the tile. My grand-humans are going to be here today, so this is the time to relax and enjoy family. I'll talk to you all after Christmas. Hope you get all the turkey you want.....
The human and I have been busy with man stuff. We worked on the plumbing for the hall bathroom yesterday. This is me making sure it lined up with the old plumbing. I kind of freaked my human out; he didn't know I was going to help check the line. So when he stuck his head in to see.... there I was. He laughed so hard and said to hold it so he could get a photo for my website. HA ha .... I love that human. We are going to be busy this week with remodeling the bathroom so I'm going to take the week off from the Blog....see you next Saturday.
It was another sunny day and even though it's cold out it's nice to open the blinds and get some sun on my fur. It just make me a happy cat to have sunshine warming me. I think the girl human likes it too, she will lay with me in the sunshine sometimes.
Maybe if I zoom in.......
The game will be on when I jump out at grab her finger. I know she will re-arrange the presents..... she does it a lot. So I'll just sit here and wait.
It has been a very cold weekend. I haven't wanted to do much other than nap. Kosmo took this shot of me sleeping on the blankets on the couch while the humans were away today. He thought he could blackmail me with it. Ha Ha like I care about their rules, I'll post it on my site!
Can you believe this orange cat? What normal cat will do tricks for food? NONE ... tricks are for dogs! I've already told you how he shakes a paw to get food, well, he also stands up to get food. He gets treats from the humans all the time..... and I don't. This cat is such a brown-noser it's just ridiculous.
There are laundry monsters in the dirty clothes, that is why I like to sleep in the clean ones. However, this was an exciting day because I almost caught one! I don't know what happened, but I hooked it with my claws and the boy human screamed "ouch" and the monster was gone...... vanished into thin air. I don't know what connection the boy human has with the laundry monsters but they seem to show up when he is around.....does he feed them? Hmmmm I'm going to have to do some experiments to test out my Laundry monster feeding schedule......
I know I'm super cute and just irresistible to the ladies, but enough is enough. I'm trying to sleep under the tree and that lady keeps taking my picture and blinding me with the flash. So......... I jumped out and swatted her! HI-YAH 
Of course that lady took another photo! I think I'm going blind from all these flashes!
O' Christmas tree, How I love your tree skirt. I am the happiest kitty right now that the tree is up and ready for me to sleep under.
This isn't my proudest moment. Kosmo snapped this shot as I was put in the Alligator hold because I was out of control. I finally lost it over not getting any turkey and I was tearing up the house. All I wanted was some turkey...is that too much to ask? It didn't need to come to this.....
What the ? ......... Something is VERY wrong in Romanoffland. The court Jester has been given the Turkey bone? Heads will roll when I find out who is responsible for this. The Supreme Ruler of Romanoffland hasn't been given any turkey and non shall be given to his peasants! I just can't believe it...... I'm going to bed wake me when it's Christmas and I get another chance at Turkey.
MMMMM... I can smell that turkey. You better be making a plate for me! If king Roman says, Give me, and the peasant should obey. I can't believe you have been torturing me with this smell all day and I'm not going to get some turkey? I'm practically drooling. I can't take it much longer before I jump on the counter at the risk of being swatted! Too late.... I'm jumping......
The big score.... Turkey! MMMM closer.... closer.... SWAT...... Run run run. Well I almost got
It made all kinds of racket as it sang a dumb bird song and hopped around the floor. I pounced forward for the kill, but stopped short as a realized it was a cotton polyester blend bird. They don't taste good at all ... I tried it last year. We left this dumb singing bird for the humans, we'll get the one I spotted cooking in the oven later.
These plastic tubs that the humans store things in are cat-erific! They are so comfortable to lay on. I enjoy cool surfaces like the tile floor and this plastic top is so great. Kosmo doesn't know what he is missing...of course he is scared of the boxes! Chicken cat. Of course I don't help any because when he comes by the boxes, I swat him in the face.
Red Bag mania! This bag was so awesome. It was huge and balloon-like so I had a great place to hide. I played all afternoon in this bag..... the humans say I don't need anything for Christmas because I don't play with my toys.... I just play with boxes, bags, newspapers, and balled up paper. Can you believe them.... clearly I play with my toys! The toys are just really hungry and hang out by the food.
The humans think it is funny that I bring my toys to my food bowl. That is my fish that used to be on a stick and my bell that is still on the stick. I'm usually in the middle of playing and decide I need a snack.... so the toys end up here. I haven't done this for a while, since I was a kitten when I had a big mouse that I would put in my bowl. So it has a kitten charm about it to the humans.... they say "awwwwwww" he's so cute. I'll keep doing it and looking up with my best kitten face because I'm the Cutest kitty here!
Oh goodie goodie, the girl human brought in bags again. These bags show up every weekend. They always appear when the girl human comes back from... the "growshry"? Something like that it's where humans get their food (which I like a lot better than my food) Stupid vet saying I have to eat this food...... I should be eating steaks and royal feasts for the king! Not these dry bits of ......you know what......uninary tract health B>S>
Cat, it was a hard day. The humans were both at work and I set out to learn how to use the TV. I hung out on the couch all day. Umm... I mean I was on the floor....... Uhhh anyway, I figured out the TV all I have to do is push these buttons on this black tube! This was a great accomplishment for Romanoffland, leaps and bounds in the science department. Space travel here I come..... after my nap.
Finally, I have found the elusive kitchen sunbeam and claim it in the name of Romanoffland. Usually I enjoy the cool tile but today I need to be warmed up. The temperature was almost down to freezing last night and it's a bit chilly this morning on the tile. I have found and caught my sunbeam... but it has also caught me...ZZZZ
Romanoffland has fallen on hard times (probally due to failing hedge funds). To all my fans out there, please, please send your donation's of food to the address below before I stave!
Now, I am the only kitty! Roman the supreme leader of Romanoffland reins with an iron paw, and his subjects bow....(gasp). Oh cat! With Kosmo locked up I don't have any subjects to bow down to me, no one to push around, and no one to blame for the bad things I do. I know what I need to do...
I tried and tried to eat this pine cone. It's really hard and didn't taste good. Too bad, because they are everywhere and I could eat like a king. Wait a minute.... I am a King! Out here I wouldn't have to share with Kosmo either because he is too chicken to come outside. Oh cat, I've got to find a CHICKEN costume for Kosmo next year. Ha Ha ha that would be so awesome.
Playing outside is so much fun! I hid in the bushes and surprised the girl human when she was weeding the garden. Ha ha I got her good. She even screamed. That will teach her to put me in the house when I need to play. (oh...now that I think about that...... maybe not...)
My faithful readers of Roman Tails know I enjoy going outside and sniffing the plants. However, today I couldn't believe that the girl human wanted me to help her plant the tulip bulbs. WORK? You must be joking... I know she has a hurt shoulder, but that doesn't mean I have to work. This is my saddest look so that I wouldn't have to dig in the dirt and get my white paws dirty. It wasn't working........ So I reminded her of my supreme rule over Romanoffland and it is her job to keep the gardens nice for me. That didn't work either and it got me banished into the house. RATS!
