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.

Playing Catsup & Our Packages

Wrigley: We have been working on playing catsup today and truthfully, it's not going so well. There are so many of you, and so many entries. We don't know how we are going to catsup. And mom still has to play catsup on her personal bloggie. Yikes!! It feels like we will be doing this for the rest of our lives. Maybe we will just start catching up on some of the entries since it is taking so long. We hope that is okay with you guys.

Secondly, we are going to post some pictures from two packages we received. Sorry the pictures aren't the best, but we weren't really cooperating.

First, we got the calendar we won from the Tuxedo Gang Hideout.
Wrigley was a little more excited to see it than Cobalt was.Oooh, I better check the package over before we open it.Looks good! "Dad, can you help me open it please?"Sure, Wrigley!Oooh, NOW Cobalt wants to investigate! Aren't all the kitties cute?
Secondly we got a package from our twins across the pond, Lyra and Caesar. We were very happy and excited to get it. Sorry the first couple of pictures came out funky, so we'll have to skip to once the box was already opened.Wow, a "Loofah Cat". We got a purple one and a yellow one. They are so cool. We love running around with them.This is all of our loot! Isn't everything wonderful? Our favorite is those multi-colored things all the way on the left. We LOVE them. We bash them around everywhere and run around with them in our mouths. They are just about the only toy we play with now. We play with them all day every day...well except for when we are sleeping or eating!It also came with 2 sample packs of Temptations. We had never tried them before and WOW, now we know what we were missing out on. Cobalt would NEVER eat treats before, and he just scarfs these down. So does Wrigley! Now we know what all the hype was about.
Cobalt LOVED the temptations and decided to go snooping for them after the beans stopped giving them to us.Good idea Cobalt, you better get into the box.Hurry up Cobalt, I'm getting hungry back here. I can't wait much longer.Geez Cobalt, you aren't doing such a good job. You better let me get in there and have a turn.Oooh it's fun playing in boxes.Even the beans nephew, Joey, got in on the action. He had SO much fun playing with the paper inside.
Thank you for the packages everyone. They are very much appreciated.

We're Back!!

Cobalt: Sorry we've been gone for so long and so unexpectedly. Our lapdaddies brother and wife along with 2 babies came to visit. It was hard having to share our space with them. On the first day, our mombean stopped by during her work and found us hiding behind the refrigerator. But eventually, we were used to them and came out more. The beans took pictures with them so we can post those hopefully tomorrow.

Then, last weekend our beans left us. Can you believe it? They went somewhere called Chicago where our mombean grew up. They went for a wedding and left us home alone. But we had a cat babysitter person come to take care of us. It was nice that they had somebody to come look after us. A girl named Kim came two times over the weekend to play with us and make sure we had food and water. She was really nice. The most awful thing about the trip though, is when the beans got home, we found pictures of ANOTHER kitty on their camera. So not cool. Mom said that this cats name is Wolfie, well his real name is Wolfgang, but they call him Wolfie. Mom said she got him when she was about a sophomore in high school. So she's had him for about 7 years which is a lot longer than she had us. Sadly, she had to leave him with her parents when she got married to our lap daddy. We'll share some of the pictures of this Wolfie fella'.

He has been getting a lot bigger lately. This picture kinda shows how big he really is. Much bigger than we are!
Here are Wolfie's paws. They are big too!Mom likes this picture because it shows the really cool red spot in Wolfie's eye. It's always been there and they think it's pretty unique.Finally, here is mom holding Wolfie, followed by her holding me a few weeks ago. You can really tell our difference in size. She cut her hair too! Can you tell? It's still long enough that we can climb it.

We'll post more pictures of ourselves later. We have some very special pictures to show you guys of a great package we received in the mail a few weeks ago.

Boogity Boogity Boogity, Lets Go Racing Boys!!

Wrigley: Today was the Daytona 500!!! Since we were born after the 2007 Season ended, this was all very new to us. But our mommy seemed very excited about it, so we tried to be excited too.

First we all gathered around the TV and waited for the race to start. Mommy even wore her Jimmie Johnson jersey that daddy got her for Christmas!We waited...and waited...and waited. We all got kinda bored. This "Pre-Race" stuff is no quick business.
This pre-race deal was taking waaaay too long, so I decided to cuddle up with the lapdaddy for a nap.
Cobalt assumed napping in his many weird positions. We really aren't related!!! I swear!!!In this one, he had BOTH of his paws hanging in the air. How does he do that? We may never know!Finally he woke up and spent some quality time with mommy.
Mom was watching the race on tv AND on the computer. Whats up with that?!Her and the lapdaddy even hooked up the computer to the SURROUND SOUND so they could hear Jimmie Johnson's In Car Audio all over the room. It was very cool for them, I suppose.

Finally, with only a few laps to go, I figured the race was worth getting into.Daddy got me a stool so I could see a little better. Thanks Dad!
Lastly, Cobalt joined me to see the end of the race. Our heads went back and forth watching the cars!Ryan Newman is the winner?! Yeah, we can't believe it either. We were hoping Jimmie Johnson would win. But sadly he got in a crash. We hope he's okay!
And that is the end of our first experience of NASCAR!! Boy was it fun...we sure can't wait until next Sunday!

Here We Are!

Sorry we've been so absent lately. Things around the house have been very busy!! My cousin had a baby yesterday, Connor Scott, which is very exciting. Besides that, just still working a lot on working on getting Chris healthy again. He seemed to be feeling good yesterday, so I'm optimistic that whatever he had is out of his system. Yesterday was Valentines day and it was wonderful. After nearly 5 years of dating, this was the very FIRST Valentines Day that Chris and I got to spend together as we were a long distance couple for practically our entire time dating. Chris bought me a card from the boys and decided that they should "sign" it. So Chris traced their paws with permanent marker. (Well only Wrigley since Cobalt was who knows where) Now Wrigley has 2 very green paws...lets hope it's not permanent. :-P

Today, the boys had their vet visit to get their 3rd distemper shot. They both did great. Wrigley is 4.1 pounds and Cobalt is 5.1 pounds. Cobalt has a huge fatty pouch on his belly which the doctor said was normal, so thats probably the cause for his being much heavier than Wrigley. The trip home from the vet was a different story. About 2 minutes into our 5 minute drive home, Cobalt I guess got scared and pooped in the carrier. By the time we got home, both of them had paws just COVERED in poop. They got little poopy paw prints all over our bathroom. I attempted at giving them both baths and now they are clean kitties. Yuck! 3 weeks from now they'll get their final distemper and rabies shot. They we just have to worry about getting them neutered. Wrigley has had diarrhea the past two days which I think MAY be due to his food. We give them each 1/2 a can of Blue Buffalo every day. But Chris also got this "Kitty Milk" at the grocery store which maybe the cause as well. We're going to stop the wet food for a few days and see if the diarrhea goes away. I brought in a sample and they checked and didn't see any Coccidia left, so thats a good sign. They are sending it to a lab for further analysis just to be sure though.

Finally, I will leave you with some photos from the past week.

We'll start with Cobalt. First, him and Wrigley pulled down a blanket from the futon and somehow created themselves this tent. They're mighty talented.We think we should nickname him "SuperKitty" since he slept like this for a good long time.Or makes himself look like an "L".And hanging upside down off a pillow. I don't know how he could possibly be comfortable.Then we shared a moment. He didn't seem to like it too much.Mr Handsome.
And now for Wrigley. He looked ready to play.Then we shared a moment. I think he liked it a little bit more. He is just SO cute.
And some together pictures. They LOVE to cuddle when we sleep.And cuddle when they sleep.Chris would pound me if he knew I posted this, but see how they like to get RIGHT up close!They love to help me blog.And look outside and wish they could be there.
Wednesday, we had an AWFUL ice storm. I've never seen ice like this before. The boys enjoyed it from indoors!
The ice over my WHOLE car was this thick!!
Yesterday, Chris and I bought the boys ties. After all, they are Tuxedo Cats and whats a Tuxedo without a tie?

HEHE, we love them SO much!
