Saturday is Donut Day


I knew it was Saturday cause the alarm clock never went off and momma and daddy didn't move out of bed till much later. I have to admit I do let them sleep a bit longer on Saturdays cause I know that if I am really good I'll get a special morning treat...Donuts!

On the weekend daddy has to get his coffee and always get donuts too. I have a weakness for those yummy doughy chocolaty frosted glazed donuts.

I waited patiently at the window for daddy to return. I started to ignore the birdies who were chirping away trying to get my attention. I was too busy thinking about my donut. I started to lick my whiskers in anticipation. Sometimes my mind can get rather evil cause I found myself having thoughts of waiting by the door for daddy and when he walks in - I'll walk out in front of him and make him trip over me...that way I could have more than one donut - I would get them all. I realized that wasn't a good plan cause daddy might get hurt or worse, the donuts might not fall out of the box and then daddy would be angry at me and give me none. So, back to the window I went.

Daddy finally came home. The feast of lovely chocolaty frosted donuts began. My tongue couldn't lick them fast enough. I really wish I could have this everyday.

After our breakfast momma said to daddy that they had to get their errands done early. I was all excited cause that meant I got the house alone. My belly was nice and full so I figured a nice peaceful nap would make this the perfect morning.

Before I knew it I was being put in my crate. Now, I know the crate means car ride. I dont freak when I see the crate cause I go for a lot of car rides and I do enjoy them. We didn't go in the truck so I knew we weren't going to the RV - our other house on wheels. The car usually means a long drive to grandhumans house or to the Pet Store. We ended up at the Pet Store. I've been going to the pet store since I was a kitten and they love seeing me grow.

Momma and daddy picked up some food - it wasn't the type I eat so I was wondering who it was for. We then went down the toy aisle. My favorite place to be! So many great toys and colors. I get all excited seeing them. Momma grabbed 2 duckies that were on the shelf which left 1 duckie all by himself. Next minute Daddy picked up the last duckie on the shelf. I was thinking ''Oh no, he is going to kidnap another duck.'' Momma also grabbed some springs, mice and some treats for me to try.

The toy aisle is near the ''adopt a shelter cat'' cages. Momma always go over to them and says hi. I sometimes don't like to look cause I get all nervous. The last time an older cat hissed at me. Momma saw this 2 year old Maine coon mix that needed a home. I felt bad she didn't have a home. Next minute, the humans started talking about getting me a playmate cause I really should have a friend at home. I was thinking what a good idea that would be. They said they were going to talk to the people at the shelter when we go up there to drop off the food and toys. I then realized we were shopping for the cats that didn't have a home like me.

We left the store and drove up to the shelter where momma brought the presents in. I didn't get to go into the shelter cause the dogs that are there always scare me with their barking so I waited in the car with daddy. That's when daddy reached into a bag and pulled out another duckie! He told me that this duckie was for me. I was thinking I already have a duckie...but as soon as he gave it to me I was like, ''Oh duckie I can love you too.''

I guess at that moment I decided to forgive my daddy for kidnapping Doe E. Duck the other day. How could I stay mad at him. He really is a good human. I guess he thought he was just being funny when he did that.

Now, I have another duckie that I need to name. I'll have to have a talk with Doe E. Duck and see what he thinks we should name them. I hope he doesn't get jealous. Maybe I'll give him some name that relates to my daddy. Since he did something rather nice for me.

I'll let you know what I come up with and also take some pics of me with my duckies.

I'm gonna go and take a nap now cause it was such a busy day for me.

Just Another Dog Day?



My plan was foiled! I've been De-Nosed??

I was all ready this morning for ''Take your Dog to Work Day'' I was excited to find out what this special doggy day was all about and to see why humans seem to cater to dogs.

Have you ever noticed that the word CATER - is spelt with CAT? So, shouldn't it be that CAT that gets catered, not the dog? hmmmm.


Daddy started to get ready for work. He put his uniform on, I put on my disguise. He put on his boots, I licked my paws. He kissed momma goodbye, I rubbed up against her legs.

I then proceeded to sit by the door just like a good doggie would.

It was time to leave - daddy just looked at me and he bent down. I thought at that moment he was going to put on my lead to take me but No - he just gave me a quick stroke of the fur and said ''be a good boy for momma'' and off he went!

I tried so hard to bark, I opened my mouth and attempted to form the 'woof' but all that came out was a squeaky 'meow'. I went and grabbed my lead to bring it to him but the door shut and he was gone - I ran to the window trying so hard to catch his attention but nothing. I sat there watching the truck pull away.

I guess I'll have to wait to next year to find out what this ''Take your Dog to Work Day'' is really all about. At least it gives me a year to plan out another disguise. Hopefully that one will be a successful one and I'll be able to report back to you.

I'm going to talk to Doe E. Duck and see if he saw anything exciting when he went to work with daddy the other day.

But first, Nap time.

Dunkin the Puppy?

All week long I've been hearing about ''Take your Dog to Work Day'' - Which made me start thinking about how unfair the world is to cats. It seems the world caters to Dogs. They have Dog Parks, Doggie Bags, Guide Dogs, Doggie Bakeries and the list goes on and on.

What is so great about dogs that the humans must feel that they have to take their dogs to work with them on June 26th?

Just because DOG spells GOD backwards - does not mean that the world should worship our four legged friend.

This Curious Cat ( no lives will be spared while doing this inquiry ) has decided to find out first Paw what this ''take your dog to work day'' is all about and why dogs seem to get all the attention.

I've been working rather hard today to come up with a good disguise so I will blend right in with the other dogs at work. So................. what do you think?

I will be reporting back tomorrow to update you on my discovery.

This is Dunkin_the_Cat ...errrrrr I mean.... Dunkin_the_Puppy signing off for now.

Few of My Favorite Things


Its been a couple of days since my last post. I guess thats because I've been so busy making new friends on Twitter and the rest of the time napping.

I guess you can call me a spoiled kitty. I don't mind being called that because it's true. I get tons of love and my humans seem to think the world revolves around me. I do give just as much love back to them to let them know how much I appreciate them adopting me and for given me this great house to play in.

It made me think about a few of my favorite things. Some of these I'm going to be empawrassed to say but hey, we are friends, I know you won't make fun of me.

CRATE: I love my crate. My humans brought me home in my crate and they have always left it out for me to go in anytime I wanted. Its my own little pad. I decorated it with a big pillow and blanket that I dragged in when I was a kitten.

BLANKET: Yes, I have a blankie. Actually I have two! A blue one and a purple one. My humans got me a blankie because I was always taken theirs off their bed and dragging it around the house. So now I have my own that I drag around and put it where I want to lay down.

DOG: I'm the only pet in the house but I have my own pet dog. Humans got it for me at Christmas time. He is stuffed (whatever that means) and wags his tail with a bell on it. Don't laugh, he is my friend. He was really much bigger than I when we got him and I used to carry him around in my mouth. He got kinda heavy at times so my mummy human tied a rope to him and now I just drag him everywhere when I want to play with him. He even can fit in my crate with me when I want to take a nap.

CHICKEN: Easter time came and I got a little baby yellow chicken. Not real, I told you that I am the only pet. He made little chirping sounds but I didn't like him when he chirped. I quickly learnt how to break the chirper and now I love him. He doesn't scare me anymore. He is real cute. Fits right in my mouth and I carry him everywhere. He is great to play with too cause he is so light I can throw him in the air and catch him or bat him around on the ground. I almost didn't get him cause human daddy said I had ''way to many toys'' and that I didn't ''need another stuff animal'' but human mommy bought it anyways.

MICE: Ok, I've lost count how many toy mice I have. I know there has to be atleast 50 in this house somewhere. I'm good at hiding things. I was actually banned from buying anymore. The staff person at the petstore said I didn't need anymore, pfft to him, I still got them.

SPRINGS:OMG, these are the best things in the world! I love these plastic springs. They come in great colors and I get so excited playing with them. They are everywhere around the house and they don't hurt humans feet when they step on them, like the mice.

Ok, I could go on and on. I have tons of pingpong balls, I have a stuffed turtle, stuffed bear, stuffed dog bone (it came with my plush bed) Combs! I love combs. I love to carry combs around and then scratch myself with them. It's great! Plus we can't forget my boxes! I love when humans bring home boxes for me.

I also have a leash/lead. It's bright neon green. It's ok. At times I don't mind it and then other times I don't want to wear it. Right now I wear the lead when I go outside. I don't know the area as we are new here. Sometimes they take it off of me.

So, those are a few of my favorite things. I have tons more but these are they ones that I daily love and enjoy.

Oh ya, all time fav: BATHROOM SINK! Shhhh, but don't tell the humans.


PS: was not happy that I was awaken from my nap for a photo shoot. I do not take good pics when surprised like that. (hiss)
