Wordless Wednesday - Taddeo and Ginger say "We wantz out!"

Tuesday with Taddeo - The Mystery Smell

*turns on secret walky-meowy planted inside the Mamma F's flower pot*

Buonasera. This is Agent Taddeo, reporting to you from Turin, Italy. I am on a mission to discover the origin of that incredible food smell that is wafting around our balcony. It seems to be emanating from Heather and Fluffy's kitchen. Shall we investigate?

Generally, I am not a fan of breaking and entering, but desperate times call for desperate measures, right?

That's right Ginger. You keep an eye out and tell me if anybody's coming!

Just a quick twist here...and a flick of the paw there...and...

...done! We're in, Ginger! Jiminy Cricket, the smell is getting stronger!

Taddeo: Gi...Ginger. It's...BEAUTIFUL!

Ginger: WHAT? What is it?!

Salmon burgers!

Update from Fluffy:

Mamma F quickly shuffled the two adorable agents out of the door before they could get their paws on our dinner. Since when did Taddeo learn to jemmy the lock on our door, anyway? This could get dangerous, especially if my supper is involved! 

Tuesday with Taddeo - Rough Encounter with Plant Feed

We all know how teenagers like to rebel. This rule applies in the human world AND in the cat world, it seems.

Taddeo's rebellion comes out in many forms. He chews on Mamma F's flowers, does his doings in the plant soil, performs acrobatic feats on the balcony railing (completely unaware of the 15 foot fall below him), and so on.

The other day, he took a risk that even HE wasn't prepared for!

He drank plant feed.

This is the result. 

Oooo...not feeling so good....

Can't...even...roll...over...

He was out of commission for a good half hour, eyes closed and tummy bear. All of the humans gave him endless belly rubs and attention, with the hope that he would show some signs of improvement. We were all pretty concerned as Taddeo is a cat who never ever stays still, and were actually on the point of taking him to the vet.

If I close my eyes, I can pretend it didn't happen.

Thankfully, he did start to perk up after about an hour of lying as still as a statue on the bench. (Notice big sister Ginger looking at him with an air of superiority. You know, you had your moments when you were a kitten too, Gin Gin!)

We sure hope that he has learned his lesson. Sometimes a risk too far is enough to put a cat back on the straight and narrow! 

Happy Tuesday!

Tuesday with Taddeo - Crazy Cat Vs. Red Ribbon

Crazy Cat vs. Red Ribbon. Hm.

Sounds a bit like Spiderman vs. Venom. We could possibly create a whole new superhero series featuring common cat nemeses! Cowardly Cat vs. Bubble Bath? Cunning Cat vs Dopey Dog? The list is endless!

Any-mew, getting back on track. Today, Taddeo turned from cat to thief when he decided to steal Mamma F's ball of red yarn from her sewing basket. 

I fink the coast is clear! The yarn is mine!

I watched on in amusement as Taddeo took down the helpless ball, and reduced it to a miserable pile of string in a matter of seconds.

My work here is done!

Then Ginger wanted a piece of the excitement!

No. Dis is MY nemesis! Get your own!

Bleh, yarn fluff on my tongue!

This nemesis is too strong.
Anyone have a white flag I can wave? 

Now that Red Ribbon has been defeated, who will Taddeo's next adversary be?

Happy Tuesday e-furry-one!

Upcoming Card Series/Taddeo and Ginger's Visit

Lately, Heather's been working on a new card series which she says, to my everlasting indignation, does not feature me as the main character! This secret series is to be released in late October, and will coincide with My Friend Fluffy's first ever Card Contest. She asked for my opinion on her newest design, but feeling a bit shunned, I left the judging to Taddeo. (I've forgiven her now, but the next series better be dedicated completely to moi!)

Hmm, I likez the fact that the hoomans lets his cats sleep on his desk!

She also asked Taddeo's big sisfur Ginger for her two cents, but Ginger seemed more interested in knocking all the knickknacks off of Heather's shelf than judging her artwork. 

What? I didn't do nuffin'!

We'll be talking more about the Card Contest later on in September, but in the meantime, enjoy these other pictures we took during Taddeo and Ginger's Friday afternoon visit!

I iz stickin' to the cooold floor. How else can a cat escape the heat?

We iz practising the art of mimicking! 

Taddeo: You iz goin' down, Ginger!!

Geronimoooooo!

Ooo we needz a time out!

Taddeo: Oh noez! I killed Ginger?!
Ginger: (Tee hee hee...)

Wordless Wednesday - Taddeo's Stupendous Stretch!

Next door neighbour Taddeo shows off his yoga moves!

In closing, we would like to take a moment to commemorate a veteran to the cat blogging community, Miss Peach, a sweet Devon Rex kitty who lived to the ripe old age of 18. We sadly never met her, but she was obviously very loved and we feel that a moment of silence should be taken in her memory. We raise a cup of catnip tea to you, dear Peach.
