But did they think to bring him home for me?
NO!
I bet he would have tasted like chicken, too.
The Woman has a sunburn now, so at least I have that to amuse me...

Damn, doods, I'm leaking like crazy here. Edsel the Pooch's mom, Sue, passed away on the 12th. She'd been trying to kick the snot out of brain cancer for a long time, and I think all along I just assumed she would do it. People get sick, people get better. And the people of the cool cats, well, they just have to get better.
Edsel started blogging about 6 years ago, and was one of the first, before the CB got to be so big... Man, I want to say more but things are kinda stuck.
If you never got to know him, go to his blog and start at the beginning, and you'll see what a cool guy he is. But doods...I gotta look over the 4th wall. Edsel was an amazing cat blogger because of his mom. She was something really special, and the CB is gonna be that much dimmer now.
It's hard enough when one of us takes our trip the the Bridge, expected or not, from old age or a sickness or an accident, but guys? We wouldn't be here getting to know each other without our people, so when they go it's like an extra kick in the nads. Edsel's mom was awesome, so it's a kick in the nads and someone pulling nose hairs, all at once.
Cancer is such a bitch.

Doods.
Tomorrow the Woman turns Official Old. She's not happy about being old but she's kinda happy about not being dead, so there's not a lot of whining about it.

There's still time. Go to ROCK THE PINK and click on the DONATE button near the top of the page, or if you don't want to see her crappy 1st greader web effort just go right to the donation page. Every $5 is a shot at a 64GB iPad, a 3G Kindle 3, or a 16 GB iPod Nano.
Your donations are TAX DEDUCTABLE! And because of your generosity, she's doing stuff like in the picture, walking around San Francisco dressed like the Pepto Bismol Fairy.
Dooods...she might even DYE HER HAIR HOT PINK.
All for the boobies.

Hey lady...look, if I'm licking your gross, sticky skin, it's not because I *LIKE* you. It's because after being outside all day practicing walking you need a bath. And since you obviously don't seem to be headed towards the rain box thingy, I have to do it for you.
Sometimes, I think you're worse than Buddah.
Srsly.

Doods! I got to go out again, this time to the Olive Garden! I ate with Diva Kitty's Mom and the Man and the Woman. And there were wine glasses on the table, but no one offered me any. And you know, I might wanted to have tried that.
As you can see, I had the spaghetti. The sauce was tasty what with all the real live fresh dead cow in it, but the noodles...eh.
You can see, too, my People are morons. Look at what The Man is doing to me! Like he couldn't be NICE in a picture. DKM took the picture, BTW. SHE is polite people to have dinner with. Not once did she do anything rude to me.
When we got home, there was something really cool. Look at Buddah's and my feets...
TREATS!
Kimo & Sabi's Mom sent goody bags with DKM for us! See how Buddah is sucking up to me? It's because 1) he didn't get to go anywhere, and 2) he wanted to be sure he got his.
That was wicked cool. Thanks Kimo & Sabi's Mom! And Thanks DKM for meeting us for dinner and bringing the goody bags!
I wonder where else I'll get to go...

Doods! A buncha the cat peoples got together for lunch today, and guess what!
I was there!
Here I am with Kimo & Sabi's mom in a picture taken by DKM. She thinks I'm nuts but even she'll admit I was well behaved.
And the best part?
The Woman wasn't there! Doods! I was out partyin' with the cool kids and she was stuck at home!
I finally got to have fun and she didn't!
What an awesome, awesome day!

Man, last night was a long one. Yesterday the Woman started feeling not-so-good and by bedtime she felt like krap, which meant I had to spend the night purring on top of her. I let her up once to pee, and while she was up she went into the kitchen to get something to drink, and I got kind of excited because she grabbed a can of stinky goodness...but, she wasn't going to feed me, she was just putting it on the table.
When she puts a can of stinky goodness on the table, that's to tell the Man that she's sleeping in and if he would be so kind, would he open it for Buddah and me? Only she's probably not thinking it as nicely. In her head it's more like, "Feed the damn cats, all right?"
So she went back to bed and I took a few minutes to eat some crunchy food and then use the litter box, but then I went back to purring on her. It must have been doing some good because when the clock thingy said 2:45 she said, "You're such a big help" as she tried to roll over.
You know, she could have said, "Max, I need to roll over. Could you move for a moment, please?" but no, she just started moving, which meant I either needed to hop off or get squished. I hopped off, let her get settled, and then hopped back on her.
"Yeah. Thanks."
At least she was polite and appreciative about my efforts.
She slept really late this morning, and even though the Man had fed us, I figured I'd better wake her up before it got to be afternoon. I mean, she'll need to be able to sleep tonight, plus, I was afraid she would wet the bed. I woke her up for her own good.
But man, she doesn't look good. She looks like... well, it's probably in your litter box, if you want to see.
I need to go take a nap. She might need me again tonight.

Usually Buddah and I have to wait until the Woman gets her asterisk out of bed before we get fed, but once in a while the Man gets home a little but late from passing gas, and he goes ahead and opens a can, thinking we'll let her sleep a little later.
When he does this, he feeds me across the kitchen from where I usually eat, because then she'll see the plate on the wrong side of the floor and know we've had breakfast already. Most of the time she doesn't need this, because I do let her sleep. Actually, I really like it when this happens because when I'm not hungry and she's still in bed, I like to go plop down on top of her and take a nap. She's all sleepy-warm, and that's the best kind of warm to snooze on.
But this morning she woke up at her regular time anyway and wandered out into the kitchen. She saw the plate on the wrong side of the kitchen and guessed we had already eaten, but Buddah was on the counter meowing at her and I was on the floor meowing, which confuzzled her. She looked in the trash can and didn't see an empty can in there.
"Better safe than sorry," she said as she opened a can.
We're smart kitties. We wolfed that stinky goodness down fast.
Later on, when she and the Man were having their dinner, which frankly looked like beef barf on a plate so I didn't even ask for any, she asked him if he'd fed us or not.
He admitted that he had.
This puzzled her, and she said she thought he might have, but didn't see the empty can in the trash, so she fed us anyway.
"It's in the recycle can," he told her.
She never even thought to look there.
I was gonna laugh at her, but we hadn't had dinner yet, so I figured I better not, just in case...

Yesterday the Man and the Woman went someplace different for her to practice walking. They've been there before and they spend hours there and she only walks like 5 miles, but she likes walking there because she gets to see some of her favorite animals, like tigers. She freaking loves tigers. Yesterday they got to see a tiger swimming under water, which apparently wasn't as lame as it sounds because it swam in a pool with see-through walls, and it was right up against the wall closest to them.
Did you know tigers flap their ears closed when they dive underwater? If the Woman would do that, she wouldn't whine so much about getting water in hers.
Anyway, she loves the tigers, but for the first time ever she got to see a fennec fox up close.
Look at those ears! He's a frootbat for sure... Hell, even I looked at that and thought Dooood! Awesome!
Just before she took the picture he was peeing...I think she should get a brownie point or something for letting him finish first. That's not a moment a guy wants captured for posterity.
I wouldn't mind being able to go and see the tigers and this little guy, other than the whole going outside and then getting in the car thing. And the whole that tiger would eat me thing.
They should have a Max display. People would pay to come see me.
Well, I would.
Oh, and don't forget, in less than a month the Woman is going to be drawing numbers for the Nano, the Kindle, and the iPad. Save the Boobies, win a prize!
It's a win-win, really...she does the practice walking and gets all sweaty and stuff, but you get to save the boobies!

Things on my mind
- Someone stopped following me. I notice those things. WHY YOU NO LIKE ME?
- The Woman tripped over her own feet earlier. So I guess she really does need all that walking practice.
- There’s nothing worth watching out the windows, but I keep looking.
- I think we need some sticky people out there. And for someone to rip the bushes out because we can’t see past them.
- Buddah likes to use one of the dammit machines as a bed and a place to play. It’s good that someone uses it.
- Yeah, we know he hasn’t blogged in forever. He needs help to do it, and the Woman has a lot of things going on.
- Plus, he’s a crackhead.
- In early May the Man gave the Woman a little vase with a single rose in it. It’s still on the fireplace mantel. It looks really bad.
- But then so does the rest of the house.
- The Woman wants to know who keeps kicking litter out of the box. I don’t think it matters since she never sweeps in that room anyway.
- At least she scoops.
- We have the hots, but not nearly as much as our friends back east. They have the Oh Holy Hell Hots.
- I am doubly enjoying the cold air blowing thingy just for them.
- That’s how awesome I am.

The People decided to get their asterisks out of bed early this morning (well, early for them, late for normal people) to go to San Francisco so the Woman could practice her walking some more. She says "the city" (like it's some magical hoity toity place...if she were drinking her little finger would have its own little Viagra moment) has good hills to walk on. I think she could just push the button on the Dammit Machine to make it incline higher, but apparently that makes too much sense.
Anyway, they went and practiced walking, and part of that practice is buying stuff. She came home with these blindling yellow-green pants with a matching jacket, something called a track jacket which is kinda dorky because her asterisk isn't going anywhere near a track, and says she walked some good hills but gets winded on them too easy, which is "not a good thing."
Ya think?
Anyway again, she and the Man went into a mall to steal some a/c and have some lunch, and they spotted this and she said "That's totally Skeezix!":
It's a Hello Kitty bicycle!
Srsly, I think if they could have stuck in in the backpack, Skeezix woulda been getting a bike for Happy Skeezix Day. No, I dunno when that day is, but it's probably coincides with teh second day of school, when everyone tries to make him feel better about the school bus not stopping to pick him up.
The bike doesn't have any pedals, though... so if Skeez does wind up getting one, someone's gonna have to push him around on it...

All that walking practice and the Woman still doesn't have it even close to perfected. I mean, yesterday she practiced for hours and hours, so you'd think she could manage better than the average sticky person, right?
Phfft.
I think she regressed. Right from the time her feet hit the floor this morning, she's been shuffling around like someone shoved a stick up her asterisk. And she's all hunched over like a 90 year old.
Doods. She clearly needs professional help.
I thought I might be able to help her by going online and looking for someone who knows all about walking and can come help her learn a little better, but doods, look what I found!
It's a thingy to help people walk!
It's like someone out there KNOWS her and made this with her in mind!
I am totally buying it for her with my next royalty check, because that's how awesome I am.

So. I was really nice and let the Woman sleep in a little today, figuring it would get me some chin skritches. But what did she do? After she fed us she went outside to practice walking again!
Doods, all this time and she still doesn't have the whole one foot on front of the other thing down. And she's really bad, since it took her all freaking day to do it. And then later, she got on the dammit machine and did it some more!
Tomorrow, I'm waking her asterisk up at DAWN.
And just a reminder, she and Jeter's Mom and a bunch of others are walking to save the boobies again. DKM is gonna be there to drive people around and to feed them. Even the Man will be there, he's not gonna pass gas, but if anyone gets hurt he's gonna help them.
The Woman is doing two walks and is still trying to raise money--she's like $300 away from goal for the San Francisco walk and over $2200 away for the Atlanta walk--and people who donate have a chance at winning an iPod Nano, a Kindle e-reader, and a 64GB iPad. Those are some freaking awesome prizes! For details and to donate, go to ROCK THE PINK.
