Tigger Finally Gets It (and Gets Wet)!

So, our lady human has been trying to get us to do tricks for treats, using this thing called a clicker. She'd hold up her paw and say "I five". At first, we thought she was saying that's how many toes she has, and we would sit there and look at her, like "DUHHH!!! We know that already!" Then Gateway started touching her paw with his paw whenever she said "I five". Our lady would make a noise with the clicking thing and give him a treat. It took Tigger a bit longer to "get it", mainly because he has a hard time paying attention. Our lady human says it's because he has the attention span of a flea. Fleas ain't too big, so we're guessing that means Tigger has a small attention span.

So anyways, the other night, our lady was playing with the treats and the clicker thing, and an amazing thing happened! Tigger touched her paw with his when she said the "I five" thing, and he got a click and a treat! Then he did it again and again! She put up her paw, said "I five" and he touched her paw and got a treat for it!

Now here's the funny part! The other morning, our lady was in the bathtub place with the curtain, and Tigger decided to jump in and keep her company. Wrong move!!! It was raining in there, and Tigger got soaking wet! Once he realized it was wet in there, he tried to fly out, but he wasn't fast enough! His tail got wet. His head got wet. His paws got wet! When our lady got out of there she looked at him and laughed because she said he looked like a little boy who just had a bath. Then she tried to dry him off with one of those towel things, but he just thought it was a toy and tried to wrestle with it.

So it's been a pretty big eventful few days for Tigger!

We're on Catster!

The lady put pages up for us on the Catster place. It's a pretty cool site for us cats and our humans. Here's what the Catster people say about it:

Our goal is to allow for the purest online reflection of people's love and enjoyment of their dogs and cats.

We Got Locked Up for a Whole Day!

We been repressed!!!

Yup, that's right! Our lady locked us in the bedroom place for a whole day while she went to someplace called the "awfulest" to do work stuff. She said she had to go there and do the work stuff so that we have money to buy food and toys, so we guess that's okay. The bedroom place isn't so bad. There's a big warm bed for sleeping on, windows to look out, toys to play with and she left us food and water. It's pretty nice, as far as prisons go, and it sounds like it's more fun than the "awfulest" place.*

Sometimes, though the work stuff interferes with our creative writing projects and photo shoots. But, if you look on the side where all that Twitter writing stuff is, you'll get the very latest newsflashes even on days when we don't get a chance to write a lot like we are today. Our lady likes to take lots of pictures of us with the phone thing, and you can see them there by the Twitter stuff, too! How cool is that?


* Note from the human - it's the office, and it's not awful, at least not my office. I'm sure, though, that there are some offices out there that are pretty awfulest.

News and Reviews!

First, the really BIG news! We got to stay home all alone without being locked up the other night! The lady was really worried that we would get into trouble or get hurt while she was out for her Weight Watchers meeting, but we behaved really good. She was so happy to see that we were okay and didn't wreck the place that she gave us extra treats for being good!

The next news item is that Gateway finally came up to sleep in the BIG sleeping place last night! He's not sure if he really likes it yet. He also hasn't figured out that, while there may be more room down at the bottom, there's also a better chance of getting kicked in the head down there when our lady rolls over!

And next up, our favorite subject - FOOD! This one's really cool! We taste tested another food last night - Avoderm Beef Formula. It was another really YUMMY food that's good for us, too! It has lots of healthy stuff in it, and something called avocado to help keep our fur nice. We give it two paws-up!

The BEST part though, is that the humans who make the Avoderm food are giving away FREE FOOD!!! Yup, that's right! If you buy a bag of any of the dry foods made by the Breeder's Choice company, they will send you a piece of paper for a free bag of FOOD! They even do it for dogs, too! The Breeder's Choice company is also giving pet owners a chance to win a whole YEAR of FREE FOOD!!! They have a contest thing in June and December every year, and lady put our names in there for this month's contest! How cool is that???

We Got to be Taste Testers!!!

Our lady went to do some shopping the other day and went to what we think is going to become one of our very, very favoritest places in the world, R and T Pet Supply. She bought us a new scratching thing, but that's not the best part! The very, very nice lady named Terri there gave her some TREATS for us to taste test for her!

And they are very, very YUMMY treats! They're called Petrodex Dental Treats and they're supposed to help keep our teeth clean. They're a little big for us right now, so our lady cut them in half first. We're not supposed to eat more than one or two of these a day, though, which is a bummer because they're so yummy! We give them two paws-up!

The lady also bought us a new flavor of Wellness food to try, Beef and Chicken. We both liked it lots the first time, but Tigger didn't like it so much as leftovers this morning. The Wellness people have lots of stuff on their website about good nutrition, too.

Now Available on Home Video...

Okay, maybe not quite, but...

We're on YouTube!!!

Our lady figured out how to make a little movie of us with her camera and make us MOVIE STARS!!! (Note from Gateway: Tigger's very easily excited and impressed with his 16 seconds of fame, as you can see.)

You can watch us on your very own computer!

T&G Tuesday Morning Smack-down



Starring: Tigger!

We Got New TOYS!!!

We're both too pooped to party!

Our lady left us all alone for a while today! She said she had to go to some place called Big Lots with her sister. The sister is another lady human, and we know this because we met her today! Her name is Jean, which is kind of funny - a human bean named Jean! It's Jean Bean! She was very, very nice to both of us, and said we were adorable. We know we're adorable, but it was nice to hear yet another human bean tell us that.

The only bad part was that, before our lady went to the Big Lots place, she TRICKED US with treats, and then locked us in the room with the big sleeping place and the windows. We had to stay in there FOREVER, then she came back to make sure we were both okay and not getting into any trouble. And then you know what??? She tricked us and locked us up AGAIN!

We got kinda bored after a while and went to sleep until she came back. This time, she brought a little lady human bean with her. She said her name was Erica, and that Erica was her knees. She didn't look like no knees - she looked like a little human bean! Anyway, Erica petted us both and loved us. Tigger even let her hold him for a little while, and gave her some big loud purrs. We like her and hope she comes back to play with us soon.

Speaking of playing, when our lady came back from the Big Lots place, she opened up a bag and inside were TOYS for us!!! LOTS of TOYS!!! Maybe that's why they call it Big Lots, because it's got a big lotsa TOYS!!! We got toy mouses, noise making toys, krinkly toys and a buncha other toys! Of course, we had to try out each and every one of those toys, and we did! We played, played, played and played with our new TOYS!!!

After playing all that time, we are WAY tired! But it was fun, even if she DID trick us first!

Mmmmm... YUMMY!!!

This is Gateway.

In case you're wondering what we're eating, and whether we like it or not, we decided that from time to time, we're going to review the foods the lady human feeds us.

The first food we are going to tell you about is Natural Balance Green Pea and Duck dry food. Green pea sounds kind of icky and yucky, but this stuff is super yummy!!! Both of us give it two paws-up! Tigger scarfed down almost half a bowl all by himself!

Wait a minute! It was a little bowl, and you didn't do so bad eating it, either! Besides, it was good! Don't forget to tell them about how I helped the lady make our dinner last night. (Translation from the lady human: Tigger volunteered to "taste test" from the can while I was trying to put the food into the bowl.) She gave us some Wellness Chicken cat food, and I helped make the dinner and clean off the plates! No wasted food here!

Sorry, starving kitties in China or whatever country the grown-ups tell us little kitties the starving kitties in the world are from these days to make us eat all our food. We ate it all!
