Friday Fracas

Allie: Hey Maxie, want to know something?

Gentlemen always let ladies go first.

So get out of the box so I can sit in it.
It's the gentlemanly thing to do.

Maxwell: Ow! Quit punching me in the face, Allie!

Allie: *through gritted teeth*
Well I wouldn't HAVE to Maxie if you'd just get out.

Maxwell: Nah, I think I'm good with rude today.

Tomorrow is Crowded Nest Awareness Day.

Are you planning to celebrate?

Wordless Wednesday

Wonder what will happen next?

***

You don't mess with a girlcat's box.

Remember the photo of Allie and her box from Wednesday ?


Allie: You're breathing on my box, Maxie.
Maxwell: It's a free world, Allie, I can breathe wherever I want to.

Allie: I recognize that expression, Maxie. Don't even think about touching my box.

Allie: GET THAT PAW DOWN! NOW!

Maxwell: Seriously, Allie, that's harsh.
Allie: Just keep your distance and no one gets hurt.

I'll be watching you....

Girlcats Rule.

Lounger Wars, Part 1

It's been a while since we shared one of our episodes of Lounger Wars.
Here's our next installment:

Faraday: Maxie, do you sense something....?

Maxwell: you mean, like, disgusted big sister maybe? Uh, no. No. Not at all.

Faraday: That's it, I'm out of here....

Maxwell: *boop* Don't get any ideas, Allie. This is a Mancat Lounger.

Oh Maxie, you shouldn't have done that.

...To Be Continued...

Wordless Epic Battle!

(the carpet was vacuumed immediately after these photos were taken - and I saw all the cardboard scratcher detritus Allie had made!  :-)

***

Too much "Awwww"?

In case you were under the impression, from yesterday's post, that things were idyllic around here....

Maxwell: "Dood, seriously, what's with the legs?"

Lounger Wars, Episode 1.

So a few weeks ago we won this pawesome Peach Industries kitty lounger (one for us and one for a shelter) over at Pricilla's blog.

Little did we know this had the power to turn mild-mannered Maxwell into Territorial Hoarder Kitty!

B-b-but momma, it was clearly for me. It matches my eyes and everything...!


Why yes, yes it does. But since when do you refuse to share, Maxie?

 Allie: That looks really comfortable, Maxie. Mind if I give it a try?

Maxwell: Come no further, Allie. Or I won't be responsible for my actions.

 
Allie: Oh please, Maxie. You can stop it with the dramatics. No one's buying it.

I mean, really.  You?!?

Allie: Now move over!

Maxwell: I warned you!
*whap!* *ka-pow!*

*gaaaaaargh!*

(see what we mean? This Peach Industries' Lounger has turned him into a ...a...hoarder!)

How will this tale end, gentle readers?
Will Allie ever get her turn on the Lounger?
Will Maxwell turn into the Kitty of Doom... permanently?

You'll have to wait to find out until the next installment of Lounger Wars!

***

The (almost) fight.

Allie: Maxie, get OFF my box!
Maxwell: I don't see your name on it anywhere.

Maxwell: So I ain't gonna. So there. *blows raspberry*

Maxwell: Let's see ya try to make me! *nip!*

Maxwell: uh, Allie...I didn't mean it, honest...

*lickety-lick*
I'm sorry....

(a yell from off-screen...)

Faraday: Maxie, ya big WUSS!

Once Upon a Time

Once upon a time there was a girlcat who loved her morning lap time with Dad.
Until one day...

...when a pesky younger brother decided to SIT on her FACE!

 Oh, we know how this tale ends.

And we wouldn't exactly call it "happily ever after"...

***

Revenge is a dish best served on facebook.

Allie: Which kitty has the hacking skills in this family?

Faraday: ALLIE! STAY OFF MY ACCOUNT!

Allie: I'd remember this, next time you want to trap me on the Superhighway.
Next time, I might tell them about how you nursed on Maxwell when you were a kitten.

Faraday: MOMM-M-M-M!!

(Almost) Wordless Wednesday: Bully.

Would you like to see why we couldn't adopt Drew?

"I'm the Boss of You, Allie!"

"Uh, okay, so maybe not."

"Sheesh! I was just kidding!"

Next: (not for the faint of heart) The Standoff, in Living Color. (Before Allie turned the tide)




[Allie wasn't really trapped into a corner. The cat tree was just below her, and the cats frequently jump down into its upper level from just that position. And Faraday is not allowed this behavior normally. We stop him if we're home to see it. ]

Smackypaw!

Faraday: You going DOWN bro!

Maxwell: Not without a fight! YEEEAAAAAAGHHHHH!
