It's me or the Wii


This new game has got to go. It's me or the Wii! The humans don't pay any attention to me anymore because all they do is play this game....golf, bowling, driving! No Roman time...... This is going to have to be destroyed because it's a worse attention hog than Kosmo.

Family Fun


I enjoyed having the family over at Christmas because we got to play Dominoes. This game was pretty fun, but I had to have the human help me pick up the tiles and stand them up. Not having thumbs is such a problem, but I can knock them over and slide them into place when it's my turn. I didn't do too bad considering the amount of Cat-ritas (my margarita) I had while playing.

Thanks Grandma

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!

Christmas Boxes


Christmas has brought me lots of boxes. This one is my favorite box that came all the way from Wisconsin. While I'm in here I get to catch up on the local paper and it seems like Wisconsin is a cold place. Maybe sometime I'll have to check out this thing they call snow. The box has a bunch of white stuff that I thought might have been snow but it turns out they are peanuts....the inedible kind.

Back to work

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.

The cat who ruined Christmas

Before :



This is Kosmo sitting by the tree. Notice he can't get under or in the tree because there are presents in his way. However, we had our Christmas with the grand-humans and all the presents were opened. That cleared the way for Kosmo the Christmas Ruiner.... Kosmo the Ornament breaker..... Kosmo the Destructor



After:

Time to relax

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.....

Little Helper

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.

Planning my Christmas Dinner


Well, I thought I would look through the girl human's recipes today to pick out what Turkey dinner I want for Christmas. When I showed the girl human the one I wanted she said there won't be a Christmas turkey because they are going to her brother's house. Holy Crap! What am I going to do...I've missed my chance to get turkey! Maybe just maybe my TV watching will help me..... I've heard stuff about this Santa..... maybe I can write him a letter.

Sunshine

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.

Tower of Power Play


I really like to swat at fingers. This is the boy human playing with me on the tower of power. I can't believe I fit through the hole. It's a tight squeeze, but I made it and was able to swat at the human.

Ambush

This is me ready for my rematch with the girl human. I've planned a night game....... do you see me?

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.

Most wonderful time of the year..


Christmas is the best. There is a tree in the living room, ornaments to play with, and I get to sleep on the fuzzy blanket around the tree. The presents are now fun too.... I've been playing with the girl human and I almost got her! I've planned a rematch for tomorrow, she will just have to find out when I jump out of the presents at her. It's going to be awesome.

cold weekend

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!

Just ridiculous

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.

All is well in Romanoffland


Today was a lot warmer than other days and it was nice to lay by the window and watch the outside. Kosmo and I can share....but I get the best spot! Notice that I have the pillow to support my back and he has the sun in his face. Just as it should be in Romanoffland.

Laundry monsters

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......

Enough is Enough

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

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.

Oraments


Ornaments! What fun it was to help the girl human decorate for Christmas. Mainly I held down the lid for her. She didn't like me sharpening my claws on the lid, but she thought I was so cute helping pick out ornaments that I was forgiven. This took up all my afternoon and I was just so exhausted I had to take a nap.

Alligator hold

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.....

Saturday, November 29, 2008

No way!

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.

Friday, November 28, 2008

Give Me, Give Me, Give Me

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
to taste the turkey.

Turkey Hunting

There are smells of food cooking in the land of Romanoff today. Particularly I smelled the scent of TURKEY! Turkey is a favorite in the land, and us Cats crave it constantly. I enlisted my Court Jester Kosmo to help me track down the Turkey. Here you see us as we approach the strange bird as it dances around.

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.

Did I ever tell you of BOXES?

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!

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.

Monday, November 24, 2008

Up to my old tricks

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!

Stop it.....STOP IT


The girl human was really ticking me off......blowing her nose. So I ran up and swatted her in the shin! Well she laughed at me ...... I am king and when I say stop; YOU STOP. I swatted her on the other leg to show her I'm not trying to be cute. Then she walked away and blew her nose again....so I ran over and swatted her in the knees. BAP! BAP!
She walked away again and tried to trick me because she got the camera and fake blew her nose and stuck out her leg for swatting. I'm not falling for that ....so I just gave her the evil eye....Then she blinded me with the flash. Darn it.

BAGS,BAGS,BAGS

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>
Sorry got off on a tangent there..... BAGS BAGS BAGS I love BAGS!

Hard Day

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.

Cold Day, Hot Drink

It's way too cold outside for Texas cats like me. It's only 60 outside right now and it's suppose to get down to 32 tonight! In times like these, I roll up into a ball in a nice warm blanket and have some hot chocolate with marshmallows.

The elusive sunbeam

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

When's Dinner?

I know it's only 8am, but I am hungry! My peasant providers don't feed me enough, hence my thin build. You would think being King of Romanoffland would give me certain benifits...evidentely getting food when I want is not one of them. I would prefer to have unrestricked access to my bucket of food all day. If only I had thumbs, I could open the lid myself.

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!

Sprung

I snuck out yesterday while the humans were at work and broke Kosmo out of jail. I had to do it...turns out I need him in Romanoffland after all. I walked right into the jail during lunch, no one seemed to even notice me. The jail cell opened easily with a carefully placed claw in the lock. Kosmo and I ran out of there before anyone knew what was going on.


The picture below was taken shortly after we arrived back in Romanoffland. Here you see us looking out the window as I discuss with Kosmo his new role in Romanoffland...Court Jester.

Kosmo Jailed

At last I have my revenge on that orange cat Kosmo. My plan to frame him for wrecking the humans car worked. The police found orange hair and cat prints all over the interior of the Delorean. They pulled him from his little cat bed early this morning and locked him up. Here is a picture I took shortly after his incarceration.

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...

Tuesday, November 11, 2008

Can you believe it?


I can't believe it.... what nerve that orange cat has. Scratching on my post at the Tower of Power. This is just too far, as you can see by the look on my face here. He is just scratching away and clueless to his offense. The Tower of Power is for native Romanofflanders and I am the only one here. I really need to get that time machine working so I can get rid of this orange cat.

Finally home


Well I was a sad kitty this weekend because my girl human was out of town. She was gone for six feedings. I can't believe I had to wait around for the boy human to feed me.....plus he doesn't give us as much because he sticks to the recommended amount! I still had a good time with the boy human and had to bug him for extra petting and follow him where ever he went. I thought he was going to let me sleep on the bed with him.....but he still kicked me out at bedtime. Oh well, things are back to normal now that "mommy" is home.

You can't eat pine cones.

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.

Thursday, November 6, 2008

Attack!

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...)

This is me ready for my next victim....... here boy human, here boy human. I think there is a piece of chocolate under this bush. hee hee hee.

yardwork?

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!
