The Independence Day Kitten Photoshoot (And Controversy?)

I was going to post this last one to Twitter then realized the kittens had self-segregated and were making some sort of socio-political statement. I thought best they shouldn't start a Twitter Storm at just 7 days old.

The Whole Kitten Caboodle

So we had a little event in the early hours of Monday morning. 1.30am to be specific!

I was awakened by a punch in the eye from Cali the cat. "Ouch! Get off, you." This was followed by the "lion killing an antelope" move, teeth straight into my throat! I suddenly realize what's happening, it's time for that now basketball sized belly to pop. So I Michael Jordan it the hell out of bed (I don't know enough about basketball to make a proper analogy so just accept that sentence).

We sit for about 20 minutes together at the top of the stairs, ever wondered what a cat having contractions looks like? Well here you go...

Much what I imagine a human having contractions looks like, with less susceptability for meme-ing.

We eventually head downstairs and (I'll spare you all the gory details and pics) yada, yada, yada, 5 kittens!!

Okay, one gory(ish) pic...

Slimey kittens!

It took 4 hours in total then all 7 of us collapsed. Til the mewwwwing awoke us.

Now enjoy some adorable kitten pics!

Individual posts about each kitten coming to a blog near you!

Well it's coming to my blog.

At some point. 

Stop hassling me!

The Birthday Roundup!

A week since turning 29, here is a (rhyming) photo essay of my birthday. Enjoy!

Feeling cool as Fred Astaire

This new top hat I'll wear

Like the call from a bugle

There's a birthday wish from Google

Breakfast: hyper inducing,

Let's eat that giant cupcake

Then some trick shots and no mistake

Not hyper enough?

 How 'bout a Dolce Gusto coffee pod?

It's like drinking satin,

Then we'll sing like Princess Jasmine

 

Or like Princess Ariel

But like a princess for sure.

I don't care if you're a man,

You're not getting to be Peter Pan

You're a princess

And a wonderful present

I must say

Cause it's practically perfect in every way

The sun is shining

And I feel debonair

Cause today I am cool

Like Mr Fred Astaire

Cali The Kitten

"There once was a cat named Cali

Who wanted me to be her pally

Our love was big as the seas

Then turned out she had fleas

And now she sleeps outside"

Update! Edgar Allan Poe, Earthquakes and More!

I will do this post in my favourite form...BULLET POINTS! Pkaow, pkaow! (bullet shots)
Onto the update!

• There is someone that hasn't been formally introduced to the blogosphere yet. So now, grab your cameras, as I introduce my newest friend...the one, the only...

Edgar Allan Poe!

 Yes, he's a hamster.

• Yesterday, I experienced my very first earthquake!! Here's how it went down. Middle of the night I feel the bed shaking, and in my Neverland state (that place between sleep and awake) I figure maybe Edgar is running so fast on his wheel that he's shaking the whole entire bed. I go back to sleep and find out the next morning there was a 6.0 magnitude earthquake! My first ever, yay! Not as good as a ride on the teacups though.
• I think donkeys are underrated.

No finer way to finish off a blogpost than with a poem! So here we go, don't hold your breath but you might want to anyway:

17 kangaroos
Had 17 didgeridoos
Each played a tune
Around about noon
While the rest danced around and boxed
#BadTastePoem

By Laura D

Yeah, that's right I used a hashtag in a poem, deal with it.

Thanks for reading chaps and chapettes!

It's LD!!!

I believe they call 'em selfies. That's not what I call 'em tho. I call 'em "Pictures ay masel", but then again am Scottish. So you can call 'em selfies. ...in fact you can't, cause they're not pictures of you.

Hamuketsu!

With all the recent talk of Hamuketsu (hamster buttocks), I figured I better add to this craze with some ChinoKetsu!

Check out that ketsu!!

After Shower Temporary Tattoo

C'mon we all know we're hearing this song right now...

Go to 0.23 if you are impatient ;D

 Susan Squirrel: Attorney At Law!

As with all of us, even hamsters need to check Google to see if

they are sick. You know, just to be sure.

Chalk It Up!

My sidewalk chalk drawings from today...

 Werehamster Observes a Full Moon

A Singular Tree

It's A Chicken and Egg Thing..

Perhaps there will be more later! "oooh, ahhh", I hear you say. And while you do that I'll be off figuring out what other things are purple, blue, yellow and green...

....I need more chalk colours...

SuperHam Haiku

Cape fluttered in breeze
No criminal made him freeze
He was SuperHam

To Ganymede and Titan

Yes sir, I've been around...

A TRICYCLE!!

Tonight, my very thoughtful husband walked by some bins...and saw a tricycle...

NOW IT'S MINE!

Check out that super cool Hello Kitty tattoo, lads! Also ignore the distortion of the phone making my head and legs huge. I mean my head is big but not Keith Olbermann big. Jeez Oh.

Alright, who wants to get on the back? I'll drive you round the block, free of charge!

Chino Goes In Various Objects - A Video Tribute To The Boy

Twitter Re-Interview #29 with @Boots_33

 A VERY exciting re-interview for me today!

As it's with my best pal in all the whole wild world (and yes,

I did say whole WILD world, it's damned wild out there!

...okay it was a typo to start with)

my bestest percent pal @Boots_33!!

Read on and you'll love him just as much as I do...

but not more! That's not allowed. Sorry.

Are you happy to participate in this re-interview or are you doing it against your will?
I will accept an interview as many times as I get them. :)

In what way has your life changed since your last Twitter Interview? I assume you now get recognized on the streets, is this a bother to you?
If I was employed last time, that has changed, as I am once again not. I don't mind the recognition, though. I just wish they didn't kick me.

You just won ANOTHER years supply! But of what?
Girl Scouts Thin Mints-flavored coffee creamer. Love the stuff.

Hey Arnold, Doug, Rocko or Catdog?
Probably Doug. It had the catchiest theme song.

You got drunk last night and have no recollection of that brand new tattoo on your forearm. What would be the most embarrassing thing it could say?
True Belieber

What number am I thinking of?
It's not really a number, but more of a percentage. :)

If you could get rid of any tv channel, which would it be?
TruTV. Nothing on that channel is remotely truthful. Horrendous.

Complete the Sentence:

Rub a dub dub...Percent Pals 4 lyfe, bub.

The worst thing to put on a pizza is...shards of glass

At 7pm, I usually can be found...quite easily. I'm a big dude. It's tough for me to hide.

Gorillas can be scary, but not scarier than...edible underwear.

My computer likes...soft, candlelit dinners.

Would You Rather...

Rather
A) Give a gift
B) Receive a gift
C) Both
Give. Easily.

Be eaten by
A) A dastardly lion
B) 100 ravenous worms
C) 2 sneaky rats wearing top hats and proclaiming you to be "an acquired taste"
A lion, because then I can claim that I was a feast worthy of kings.

Dance without moving your
A) Feet
B) Arms
C) Head
All of the above, cuz I'm a terrible dancer.

Have a cartoonist draw you
A) On a bad hair day
B) In the nude
C) Merrily digging a grave
C – It would be his final drawing.

Have to
A) Eat a burrito with a ton of sour cream on it
B) Spend a whole day with Donald Trump
Surprisingly, B. I might have to listen to Trump spew his nonsense for a day, but he could buy me a crapload of delicious untainted burritos and I would eat every single one of them. Sour Cream is the devil's disgusting invention.

Draw a picture of yourself as a happy percent sign. Be as detailed as you wish.

Where else can you find Tony I hear you ask? Well continue reading!

My Day In Pictures

 There I am. Hello you!

 A sleepy Chino.

 An origami heart I made using ladybird origami paper.

...because I attempted to make the ladybird but...let's say it died...

actually it was never born. It got aborted, as it were.

 Did some writing! Yay!

 It was 30c here today so I opted for a blue slush puppy ice pole!
Love those slush puppys.

And we finish with a packet of hula hoops. 

Thanks for watching, we'll see you next time,
