A loaf of Peanut
Originally uploaded by Tygriss.

It's starting to get cold out! We got back from the Metroplex early in the weekend to spend some time preparing the apartment for the holiday decorating and it feels like the cold followed us home.

Well I got me a new phone before the break to "upgrade" my technology a bit. Not sure I'm in love with it just yet... But I'm in love with my Peanut - shown here in Loaf mode!

Nick comes home today after work to find the food bowl and part of the food bowl stand missing.

There's a leg. And there's another leg under the dining table.

And there's scattered dry food. Everywhere.

A bowl.

But the rest of the food bowl stand, and another food bowl are missing.

He looks, and he looks.

And there it is.

Under the bed. With Peanut's tags attached.

Apparently under one of Nutters routine 40 trips to the food bowl, his tags were caught in the stand. His struggle to free himself took him through the dining table, around the living room, and under our bed ripping out his tags from his collar. Poor guy. So traumatized, as soon as Nicholas got the food bowls all set up again, Peanut stopped in for another therapeutic snack.

A quick stop at the Petsmart tiny doggie isle brought us to the most appropriate kitty shirt ever! Peanut now has a little Old Navy hoodie and the signature Hieu-household black t-shirt. (Everyone in this house has a black t-shirt) He's not quite as dressed up as say... my friends's pets, but he's starting to build up a wardobe.

So here's Peanut in his new "I really don't like the vacuum" T, sleeping on his Ikea mouse in his Ikea tent.

Peanut bids farewell to his adoring fans
Originally uploaded by Tygriss.

Our very own Spaceman Spiff made his way into his dryer-capsule high atop the stacking washer/dryer and spoke a very heartfelt farewell to his fans and family. Wasn't sure where he was going this time, or if he would make it back home. He thought for sure, he would go somewhere never seen by any kitty in history.

At about 7 this morning, I heard the familiar sound of change jingling over by the dresser. And then some nom-nom sounds on plastic. I got up to see a little Peanut fiddling with Nicholas phone in the de-thinging tray, shoo'd him away and crawled back into bed.

Turns out, the boys were hungry. They were used to being fed at 7 in the morning during the week, and didn't fancy us sleeping in as their tummies rumbled. Peanut must have figured out that food came shortly after Nicholas' phone vibrated at 7am. Since it hadn't vibrated this morning, food wasn't going to be served. So he found his way onto the dresser and tried to revive said phone in the hopes of summoning foods.

And this whole time we thought he was just a box of rocks. Turns out, there's some grey matter in those rocks.

Vivaldi

It was about to be that time of year for the boys. Time for a checkup and obligatory anti-cootie shots. Nicholas got them in their going-out clothes and I met them at the vet’s office yesterday. Peanut turned out to be the lady’s man. Soft as a bunny and oh-so-cute. His checkup went well. He gained a little weight and got a little longer it seems. Vivi’s checkup wasn’t so happy. He got the regular checkup plus butt-squeeze (to avoid future butt-sack ruptures). He also had to get blood work done to check for abnormalities that may be causing his IBS.

Lessons learned from this trip: Peanut does not like car rides. He has a genuine fear of the outside.

Today, Nicholas is taking Vivi back for more definitive tests and re-hydration. It seems that his thyroid readings were “questionable” which could be the reason why he’s been leaving puddles of pee in inappropriate places. We shall see. I love my little old man. It’s been 11 years. He better be around for another 20.

a purple christmas

We had a Purple Christmas this year! Our 1st year together living in the same city! And... finally both out of school! That's the BEST! We got some really fun gifts this year: Nicholas got a hand made pewter Ankh from Skitch and I got (and I still need to photograph) hand painted Hello Kitty Chucks!!

And here are a couple of Christmas Pix with Peanut and Vivi guarding the presents.

Today was therapy day on the radio. A lady called in wondering what it meant when her date kicked a cat off her patio. One person suggested that how a person treats a pet is an indicator of how they would treat their offspring.

And that made me think of Monty. My friends will have overweight kids. I giggled.

Then I thought about Peanut. My kids'll wash themselves in the dishwasher. *sigh*

Peanut + Laundry Basket
Originally uploaded by Tygriss.

= Funny good times.

He follows me around the apartment after I come home from work. Just in case my heels tear open and out pours tuna. So while doing laundry, I covered him with the basket to see what he would do. And he just sat there. Not really sure what it I was expecting, anyway. So I took it off and gave him a hug and a treat and walked away. I go back to check on the laundry, he's knocked over the basket and crawled inside :-)

I'm sitting here catching up on my intarweb world and I hear this poor excuse for a meow coming from the otherside of my bookcase. It's Peanut. I haven't figured out yet if he's trying to see who's around or if he's questioning my shoes that are sitting in his path. Either way I answered. He walks to me and sits down. And he stares. And stares. So I picked him up and put him in my lap. And he stayed. I think having Nicholas home for the past couple of weeks has gotten Peanut used to peoplage. He sleeps on the bed now and will sit in laps. He also still has killer knock out farts.
