Dragonheart



Isn't he just stunning? I am so glad that I found Dragonheart's blog. I used to think that Sphynx cats were rather bizarre, but Dragonheart has taught me that they are just as cute and cuddly as any other cat. I have learned a lot about the breed from his blog and I am grateful for the opportunity to correct my misconceptions.

                                    Dragonheart has nimble toes,
                                    Frootbat ears and the cutest nose.
                                               He doesn't have fur,
                                               But that doesn't deter
                                   Him from striking an Egyptian pose.

Miles



Miles lives with his brother Sammy. They are now a two cat family since Norton and Trixie went to the Bridge. They get along pretty well, though Sammy claims all the toys and Miles claims all the ham. Their blog is called Meezer Tails and I love reading it. This limerick is about a burning desire Miles has.

Meezer Miles wants to walk on the ceiling.
He yearns for Velcro with feeling.
With strips on ceiling and walls
And cool shoes on the balls
Of his feet, he'll race 'cross the ceiling.

Dictionary Entry


Karen Jo --

[noun]:

A real life muppet



'How will you be defined in the dictionary?' at QuizGalaxy.com


I just found this over at Skeezix's blog and my answer was so apt and funny that I just had to post it.

Tara, Meezer Princess



Tara is a very cute Meezer Princess, who has lots of adventures. I have just discovered her blog recently and I really enjoy reading it. She has alerted the CatBlogosphere to the dangers of CECs -- Cat Eating Coyotes. Here she is showing off her technique on her stuffed coyote.

Tara is a Meezer Princess.
Everything she tries meets with success.
She kicks her coyote
And grabs his throaty.
She scares vishus deer while in harness.

Fat Eric



Fat Eric is an large, long-haired ginger cat who lives in London. He really enjoys being a spoilt only cat, though he may get a sibling soon. He started the Gorgeous Gingers club and is quite active in the CatBlogosphere. He loves going outside and looking at the birds and the flowers. Sometimes Evil Intruder Kitties invade his garden, but he is quick to chase them off. He also loves his scratchy mouse and takes it with him when he goes visiting.

Fat Eric has the floofiest tail
I ever did see on a feline male.
It can swish and sway.
It switches in play
Enough to stir up a gale.

Rocky the Gutter Cat



Here's Rocky, doing one of his favorite things, sleeping on his back. This self-styled geezer cat has quite an exciting life. He's a mostly outdoor cat and his two favorite places to hang out are in the gutter in front of his house and the catmint patch. He has collected himself a harem of Spicy Vixens, who adore him. It's a little cold out for Rocky and his Spicy Vixens to party in the catmint patch, so he has been looking for a suitable place indoors. He thought that the tunnel box would be just perfect, but Skeezix didn't like that idea at all. The tunnel box is now quite a bit worse for wear, but Rocky is still ready to party. He and his brother Mao make cans of Vishus Deer Repellent for all the kitties who have a problem with vishus deer invading their yards. Not long before Christmas last year, there was a slight problem.

Rocky had an industrial accident,
Which caused such a ferocious scent,
That all vishus deer
Will stay away for a year,
So strong is Mao and Rocky's repellent.
