Happy Birthday ML!

To a new blogger, the work that ML does is invaluable.  When I first started blogging, I just automatically started using Mr. Linky on Cat Blogosphere to announce my postings.  To tell the truth, I did not really credit doing this with much of my blog traffic.....until about a month ago when the link up was down for a week.  Suddenly, I saw my traffic NOSEDIVE!  Thank you for all you do.

Monday Musings With Sassy: History Rewritten


Kitties, a certain Mommie around here has been running around bragging about “her” blog being a finalist.  Umm, excuse me, but when did it become “her” blog?  This is MY blog – and okay, sometimes the Spotted Airhead’s blog.  This got me to thinking…if the human is rewriting history on this, what else in history have the humans changed?  As it turns out – plenty!  For example:

D-Day   The British humans like to brag about how they made the first landing for this battle.  Not true.  First landing was actual the ship cat.  It seems that in the rush of boarding the troops, someone forgot to bring along the ship cat’s litter box.  When the cat saw all of that lovely sand on the beach, it didn’t hesitate.  The cat was first to land (and squat) on the beach.
Haight Ashbury Hippy Protests   Humans like to claim they went to the Haight Ashbury area of San Francisco in the 60’s to protest the war and celebrate rock-n-roll.  Not true.  Really the main attraction to Haight Ashbury was some really cool cats that lived in the area.  The humans flocked there in order to have the honor of petting these kitties.  But of course, humans being humans, they won’t admit that was why they were going.  They thought that “protesting” the war sounded more important. 
Dogs Win Iditarod Races   Humans race with their teams of dogs across Alaska.  Okay, actually, this one is true.  Hey, Stupid Dogs, while you are running around outside in freezing temps, fighting off wolves and hauling heavy sleds – you know what we Cats are doing?  We are sitting on our heated blankets, eating salmon cakes and watching Animal Planet!  Suckers!
Do you know of any other history the humans have wrong?

Woo Hoo - I Am A Finalist!

(Callie and Sassy's  Mommie Here)

The Blogpaws Nose To Nose Awards Finalists have been announced and I am honored to say that this blog is a finalist for the "Best New Blog" category! 



I am probably not going to the Conference as there is the usual Little Supply minus Big Demand green papers math problem going on here. (huh, maybe Daddy was right, I shouldn't have day dreamed my way thru math class!)  But I am looking forward to watching the awards on live stream. 

I am just bursting with pride right now.

Friday Songs With Callie: Barracuda!

Kitties - today's song is Barracuda! by Heart.  Except of course I am not a Barracuda - they are ugly with serious dental problems.  I am a CALLA-CUDA!


So this ain’t the end –
I pounced on you again today
You don’t know how to play
So I snuck up from behind –
a bitey on your tail
And bam – it never fails!

Your hiding behind the hammick
But I gonna ambush you
I’ll hit you like a ton of bricks
I’m the Calla-cuda!
Aww, Calla-cuda!




Remember to Sing Loud, Sing Long and Sing Often!!

Nicknames

Kitties,  Sorry that I have not been posting and commenting as often as usual.  Mommie says that she has been dealing with "Real Life".  As if anything is more important than MY Needs...Really!!

I saw on Nellie's and Kozmo's Blog (sometimes I like to just go over there and look at the pictures of my Sweet Ba-Boo) that Sarge is having a Nickname event.  For this event we should list all of the nicknames all humans call us (and believe me, Mommie comes up with some doozies) and let the readers select their favorites thru the comments.  So here it goes:

Callie:  Of course everyone knows my main nickname, "Trouble", but here are some lesser known ones: 

Calla Wow-Wow (in the way of J-Wow on Jersey Shore)
Cal-Cal
Sweet Pea (thanks to my handsome and brave boyfriend, Kozmo)
Monster






On Sassy, my favorite nickname is of course "Lard Butt", but Mommie says I have to play nice (BORING!), so here are her "other" nicknames:

Sassy Maria
Sassy Girl
Sweet Sassy
Sass-Sass



Which ones are your favorites?
