Hello Everyone! I just wanted to let you know that I am alive and well and still having adventures. Though, I did have an embarrassing moment the other day when I rolled over in my box and it fell off the table.

What?

Yes, I have a box on the table, don't you?

Peace and Purrs!

Thank you!

****UPDATE**** April 16, 2016  - I have returned to Blogspot!

Happy New Year!

The lady and the man are not doing much for New Year’s Eve. So I sat around in my box for awhile and then I had my own party. A bit of cream and a hat makes a party every time! I had a great year. I played in the yard, I got some great gifts and I got a new window perch. The only thing that would make it better would be a to have a friend to celebrate with, but for now the lady and the man will do just fine.

Happy New Year!

This party is so lame. 

Hmmm... I really shouldn't...

Maybe just one.

Mmmm. Mmmm. 

Mmmm... that was good.

Maybe one more. 

Dang, I lost my hat. 

Nap time. 

I am Hawthorne...

....And I am Beautiful!

April on the Leash

Hello Everyone,

I am sorry that I have been gone so long, but something great has been going on. Well, I did not think it was great at first, but I do now. You see The Lady came home one day with a leash. At first I was aghast that she expected me to wear it to go outside. I mean, really now. I let her know with a few swipes and hisses that I was not amused, but she still made me put it on.

Now I can say that I was wrong: the leash is great. I get to go outside, The Lady (or The Man sometimes) is there but not too close and I can spy on the neighbors. Fantastic! I find that if I sit on the kitchen stool and let The Lady put my collar on I get outside faster. Sometimes I even go in with out her making me and sit on the stool so she can take the collar off. I don't do that all the time though, I don't want her shortening my time outside!

Below are some pictures. I need to go rest now. I spent 45 minutes outside today and I am tuckered!

Pax,

Hawthorne

Catnip! Did I mention the catnip!

Chillin' under the tree.

Man, I am beautiful!

There is grass to chew out there too!

Yes, devilishly handsome.

Spying on the dog next door. 

St. Patty's 5,000 Meal Giveaway!

The lady has entered a limerick into the St. Patty's 5,000 Meal Giveaway from Freekibble.com. Here is the limerick she entered:

     There once was a cat named Hawthorne

     Who had a voice like a car horn

     He’d meow for his food

     And his song wouldn't conclude

     Until a banquet of kibble was borne

Everyone should enter and try to win meals for shelter pets! Feed the kitties!

Hey wait…what does she mean by “a voice like a car horn?” 

Pax,

Hawthorne

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year! It does not seem different to me than yesterday, but the Lady and Man seem to think that it is. It is different than last year at this time, but I do not like to talk about those days. Now I have my toys and my lovely spots to sit and things are much better. I even got a Christmas present! It is a catnip cigar. It is so cool! The Lady says that I am her Christmas present. She can be so mushy sometimes.

I love to sleep in my box. The Lady was going to use it to ship a package, 

but I refused to get out of it. Now I sleep in it most of the day. 

I like to sit on the back of the Lady's chair while she is sitting in it...

...though I also like to sit on the laptop when I am feeling lonely. 

When the Lady is working in the kitchen she has me sit on a stool. 

She does not seem to like it when I try to sit on the counter to 

watch what she is doing. 

Here is my gift under the tree. 

Opening it was difficult. (The Lady made me a Christmas collar too.)

I had to take a break. 

Success! Oh the Joy of Catnip!!

Wishing you a wonderful 2012!

Pax,

Hawthorne
