Maxwell's Musings

Dood, you had us as "holidays"....

A Chanukah Conundrum

Maxwell: Dood, I wouldn't do that if I were you.
You're not going to get any more Chanukah gelt from Hanukkah Harry at that rate.

Faraday: Pfft. I already scored my bonito flakes and wand toys. Plus there are only three nights left. Alls we get now are things like socks and litter boxes. I'll just use yours.

Maxwell:  ... hard to argue with that logic....

Happy, happy holidays!

 However you celebrate, may today be a joyous and blessed experience.

~   Maxwell, Faraday, Allie (and us humans, too!)

Chestnuts roasting on the....

No, wait. That's just Faraday....

Cats, boxes, and expensive shipments

Allie: Ooooh hello, you lovely box. Did you bring me anything extra special from the online store today?

The Mom: I'm not sure it's entirely healthy to me so enamored of a cardboard box like that, girly.
Allie: Enamored? Of a box that brings me delicious food and lovely diamond collars?

The Mom: About that collar.... Your allowance didn't cover the difference, I'm afraid. 
Your account was overdrawn and the purchase denied.
Allie: Denied. DENIED?!?!

The Mom: Well, if you'd like to get a job to cover the monthly installments....
Allie: This girlcat doesn't do menial work, Mother.

Allie: I can see I'm going to have to take this over your head and speak to Father about it. 

I'm sure I'll have no trouble getting him to see reason.

Good luck with that, girlie-girl!

Brotherly love.

Monday's crazypants

Faraday: Seriouslies, Maxie. A little decorum, first thing in the morning, pleez. 'Speciallies on a Monday an' stuffs.
Maxwell: Dood, when opportunity squeaks, you gotta grab it.

Faraday: Pfft. Everyone knows opportunity knocks, Maxie.
Maxwell: DOOOD. Mousie on a string, over here.

Faraday: *huff* Okay, FINES! Whatevers. Just do it quietly.

Maxwell: *chomp*slobber-slobber*chomp*

Poor Faraday....

A little chat

Allie: Well, hello again, round scratcher. It's been awhile.

Allie: Perhaps we should spend some quality time together.

Allie: You know....
*chuff*huff*scratch*scrabble*

Allie: ...to get better acquainted.

Allie: Good talk. Let's do it again soon.

(almost) Wordless Wednesday

Nap, interrupted....

Priorities, we gots them.

Faraday: I'm telling you, Maxie, that Amazon truck does NOT have our noms on it.
Maxwell: Dood, you can't know that for sure.

Faraday: Seriouslies, Maxie. I saw Mommy's last order. It had hair stuffs an' tool parts an' ... an' vitamins an' stuffs listed onna page. Not a single bonito flake anywheres.

Maxwell: So that ginormous box I see him carrying up to our front porch....

Faraday: Worthless.

Hey, Amazon delivery dood...consider yourself lucky Max is on this side of the glass....

Cat Conversations #512

Faraday: Hey, Maxie, why're we sitting here, staring out at a backyard we can't play in, again?
Maxwell: It's called "getting fresh air".

Faraday: An' why's this such a good idea again? Cuz all I wanna do is tear into that squirl who's sitting there laffing at us right now.

Maxwell: Well, Momma said—
Faraday: Pfft. Mommy also said going to the vets and getting our toofs cleaned was a good idea, and you know how that turned out.

Hey, it's not my fault you guys have so many cavities....

Cyber Glam

Allie: Excuse me...
I hope you don't mind, but I put a few things in your cart online for Cyber Monday.

The Mom: Allie! *cue choking sounds* That's a diamond collar with a 1.52-carat marquise-cut pendant, for— 

A hundred and fifty thousand dollars?!?

Allie: Is it too much, do you think? Is it? 

I don't want it to look gaudy....

You're right. It's too much. 

Let's stick with the option without the pendant attached.

The Mom: *faints*

You think we jest? Check this out....
