Happy Birthday!!!

Today is our very first birthday!!! Instead of mancats-in-training...we are now real live mancats!! This is such a happy day for us. :-)

This is us on the day our beans adopted us. Wrigley is on the left and Cobalt is on the right.
I think this is also on the day that we were adopted.
Here is soon after we were adopted.
Here is Wrigley in his Halloween costume a few days ago.
And here is the both of us along with Penelope. She's too small for a costume.
Wrigley and Penelope.
And finally, all three of us.

We really have grown over the past year!!

Meme!

We got tagged for a meme! Yay. We were tagged by Eric and Flynn to do the "Middle Name Meme".

Here is how it works:

1. You have to post the rules before you give your answers.

2. You must list one fact about yourself beginning with each letter of your middle name. (If you don't have a middle name, use your maiden name or your mother's maiden name).

3. At the end of your blog post, you need to tag one person (or blogger of another species) for each letter of your middle name. (Be sure to leave them a comment telling them they've been tagged.)

Cobalt: We don't have middle names, so we are going to use our maiden names. On the Petfinder website my name was Hobbes.

H- handsome. My mommy tells me I'm handsome every single day. I think I look very many with my little white patch of fur under my chin.

O- ornery. Ha! I am not very social when the beans want to play with me. I also get mad very easily. I don't play any games, lol!

B- bashful. Well, only when I want to be. I don't like it when humans come near me, but I will come up to them and stick my head in their faces until they pay attention to me. I will walk all over them and walk on their computer and just beg and beg for attention. I even cry at their bedroom door all night until they come see me. But the second THEY want to come by me...I run away!

B- bizarre. Mom says I'm bizarre because I like to do crazy things. I run around a lot and sometimes I run into the sliding door or jump up and bash my head on the window. I never seem to learn that there is a piece of glass there, lol! I also like running aimlessly around the apartment. Most of the time the beans are directly in our path so we make sure to cause the most inconvenience to them.

E- energetic. I have tons of energy, of course this is to be expected as I am still a kitten. I run around all the time and I've even learned how to jump up and grab the door handles. (I'm smart and know thats how you open the door) Unfortunately, for me, our apartment has the circular door handles and not the long ones, so I can't turn them to open the doors.

S- sneaky. I am VERY sneaky. I like to hide where Wrigley can't find me and then jump out at the last second and pounce on him. I also like to be sneaky and hide from the beans.


Wrigley: My turn! Can you guess what my name was before I was adopted? I bet you can. If you guessed Calvin, then you are correct!!

C- cuddly. I love to cuddle and I don't mind if the beans pick me up and snuggle me. I wish I could be around them all the time. My lapdaddy is my favorite and the second he sits or lays down, I run right over to be next to him.

A- alert. I pay attention to everything. I love sitting in front of the window and observing everything outside. Anytime I hear a little sound, I have to get up and go investigate.

L- lucky. I think I am very lucky that I found this great furrrever home. I am also incredibly lucky that the beans adopted me AND Cobalt and didn't just pick one of us. I would have been very sad if we had to be separated.

V- vocal. I am very vocal. If a hand even come near me, I start purring as loud as I can. The beans say it's like having a massage chair because my whole body vibrates when I purr. I also love to meow and tell the beans how much I love them.

I- idiotic. I couldn't think of anything for "I" and Cobalt found this word on an "Adjective List". He made me do it. This concept is so foreign to me, I don't even know what the word means. But the bean is laughing and well, she thinks it's funny so I guess I'll go along with it. But I'll give Cobalt a whap later.

N- nonchalant. I am very laid back and things don't bother me much. Unlike Cobalt, it's very hard to make me angry. The beans can do whatever silly things they want to me and I don't care. Luckily, they haven't abused this yet...but if they do too many crazy things to me, well...things could change.

Wow, that was really hard!! Sorry if our answers were terrible, our bean isn't exactly "with it" this morning. Since many of you have already done this, we aren't going to tag anyone. But feel free to participate if you haven't already.

Oh---My---Gosh!!!

Wrigley: You guys will NEVER believe what has been going on with us!! Okay, maybe you will, but we sure don't believe it. Guess what was at our house last weekend? A WOOFIE!! Yes, a real live woofie, and we didn't like it one bit.

Cobalt: Actually Wrigley is lying..we really didn't like it. We were scared stiff of him.

Wrigley: No, YOU were scared stiff of him. I at least got close to the cage. But anyways, our mom bean's cousin has this dog called Riley. Well her cousin and her husband went off to Saint Louis (maybe they went to see the meezers?) for Easter and they left Riley here with us. When he first came, we were really scared and we hid in the shower.

Cobalt: Yep, we both were in the shower and we had to puff up really big so that we could show the woofie that he was in our territory and we were not going to put up with it. We hissed and made scary noises but the woofie wasn't scared. He just wanted to play. But we wanted none of that. Sooo, the beans had us locked up in the guest bedroom (which is really ours!) and we only got to come out a little bit each day when the Riley woofie is in his cage. We guess it was not so bad but we didn't like not having free reign of the apartment.

Wrigley: Thankfully the woofie is left on Monday to go back to his house. I hope our beans never want to get a woofie. Now, we will show you some pictures of us and the woofie. Mombean says she is sorry they are of such poor quality but she was shooting fast and not fooling with the camera settings.

Here we are right after Riley arrived at our house. We were stuck in the shower and boy, were we scared!!
All Riley wanted to do was play.
And eat his bone...

Which I decided looked delicious, so I had a taste too!But we decided to keep our distance and watch Riley (who was locked in a cage while were out) from underneath an end table. (See our new PTU, we LOVE it, and we go in it to cuddle even when we aren't going to the vet. It's great. The beans are going to buy another one so we can each have our own...we're almost big enough to not have to share!!)
However, after being coaxed by some treats, I decided to get a little closer.
And that was about as close as we got!! Woofies are so scary!


P.S. Sorry it has taken us SO long to post yet again. We have had this entry typed up since last Saturday and for some reason, blogger wouldn't let us add pictures. :-( So the bean decided to use photobucket instead. Then on Monday, the beans had their very first wedding anniversary so they were a little busy going out to dinner and stuff. Oh, and another thing we forgot to say in our absence, Cobalt and I both had double ear infections two weeks ago! We had to get our ears cleaned twice a day and get medicines. It was no fun but we're glad we're all better now. And in related news, on April 10th, we both get our manbits taken away.

Anyways in closing, we will show you some of the beans favorite pictures from their wedding.

Hi Everyone!

Guess what guess what? Mom said that WE get to post today. How exciting is that? She doesn't know if she'll let us do it all the time, but hey, at least it's a start.

Today, something very sad happened, and now mom is down in the dumps. Tonight this is what we saw:


Can you believe it? Our dad left us. Mom keeps telling us that he had to go to some place called work. But who works during the night? We're supposed to be sleeping!! It will certainly be lonely without him. Maybe mom will even let us sleep in their room. But sometimes, even though mom and dad look like they are sleeping, we think they want to play. So we just jump around, but that usually doesn't make them happy and they make us sleep in a guest room. At least we get to be together!

Well, mom says we have to go to bed now because it's getting late and she has to go to work in the morning. She says we got tagged on something called a Meme and she will help us do it tomorrow. Also, we have commented back to many of you who have welcomed us, but haven't had the chance to get to everyone just yet. We will continue commenting and adding to our list tomorrow!
