Mancat Monday Projek Report



As a mancat projek manajer for da new house, dare are a few fings I learned dat I want to pass along to yoo:

When da contractor says dat it takes two paw-weeks to re-do two baffrooms it reely takes two more paws longer.

When da cabinet man says it takes two to four paw-weeks for da big boxes dat da sinky goes in it reely takes four or more. Not two.

When da tile lady says da tile delivery comes every ofur day dat does not mean dats when da tile will come in. Dat takes four paw weeks.

When da cee-ment looks wet it reely is wet. And deep. And Mommie will frow yoo in da kitch-hen sinky coz dare am no tub to wash yoo off. Hey, what’s a mancat to do? I wuz jus tryin to write mine name in dare. Just mine initials, bb. But how wuz I to know dat I wuz gonna get cement up to mine armpits? Well, not reely all da way to mine armpits, jus enuf to make ceement shoes.

When da man comes to strip an clean da floor from h#ll (dat's what Mommie calls it) it will not be done in 2 paw days. Not efun one paw day. How about three paw hours an he stops coz it don't look good enuf to keep goin? Now we gots one clean patch an all da rest still shiny and slippery. Good fur us kitties to play on. Bad for da projek.


See da patch job da contraktor had to do to cover up mine initials.

And dis is da floor from h*ll. We just has fun runnin all ofur it.

Dis is da only counter dat I gets to sit on only cuz da beans can't seem to keep us off it plus it's so dirty whats a few of our dust paw marks gonna do? We am allowed to sit on da side fingy to see da birdies coz no one puts fud on dat.

Tales of Angie by Dad

Daddy Bean here relating my tail of Angie and me outside our huge house. First, when Angie goes outside she immediately rolls on the ground putting her scent to ward off the evil intruder cats. I immediately have to start taking the dirt off of her fur. We do this about 7 or 8 times.

Angie likes to sniff and sniff and sniff even more when we are outside. Angie's cute little nose goes up the tree branch and down it in an even row. I never saw anything like it. She sniffed the bricks on the corner of the house in a row, moving ever so slowly on each part of the brick in a straight row.





Here is Angie sniffing now the new wood pile, she tries to sniff each piece of wood. She is an amazing sniffing cat, guarding her new home for Beau Beau and Mom and Dad bean. We thank Angie for helping us out outside...

Tuesdays Tails

I finally got to go outside for a walk at mine new house wif mine food Dad. He spoils me an lets me out when I beg enuf. Efurry day at da old house he came home at 3:30 human time and let me out for a little while so I could werk up an appetite. Now da beans haf to get used to da new house so dey made me stay inside too so I could get used to all da new places to look out of.
Here is da patio dat I can see right outside da windows on our ferst floor. I kept right close to Dad bean until I sniffed out da place reel good. I stayed nice an close to da house coz dare wuz lots of new smells to explore efun dat close to da house.

See how efun inside it looks like outside? But, I know da difference. I can't wait for da nice warm weather cuz I know I will get to go outside more.Purrs from da big house, Angie

Tuesdays Tails and Toes

Tails away! It's about time I got to take over da blog and show off mine tail. I love to play with the top from the milk carton and this shiny floor is the best fing since well, since ever! Stuff slides all over dis floor. It am all shiny and slidey rite now but some cleanin' man gonna come an take da dirt away. We hopes it will be good to play a soccer tournament on or somefin. I finks we could use dese milk tops an make up a good game wif dem. Dat ferst picshure is from da last storm we had. Dat snow is all gone now. We is waiting for da green grass to spring up now.

Happy St. Patty's day to all of yoo who celebrate it. We are not wearin any green today, but schmaybe da green in da floor an da green rug and da green milk top will do?

Da best of luck to ya all on dis fine St. Patrick's Day!

We have a new house!

Oh my Cod! Wot a trip. Dad bean got stressed owt cuz of me yellin all da way to APs howse coz we had now where to go till da beans paid a squillion green papers for da new howse. I wuz so nervis on da way dat I pooped mineself in da PTU. Dad can hardly heer so I had to yell extra loud so he could heer me complainin. Den Angie wuz all ofur him while he wuz drivin cuz she can't stay in a PTU acoz of her shreddin' her nails till dey bleed. Once we got to APs we nefur moved from one spot. AP wuz worried bout us.

In da mean time, da beans had a bunch of moovin men come to move da stuff in da howse. Mom gotted to tell dem what to do an she kinda reely liked dat. It only took a little while to get alla stuff in da big trucks. Still we waited for da beans. Den dey went to look at owr new howse one more time before dey signed a squillion papers. Da new lady dat bought owr old howse said she wanted us too! I tole yoo we did a good jobbie sellin owr howse to her. She efun played wif da lite wif me one time. She wuz da ferst one who looked at it an she bought it! Still da beans did not come to get us.

Mom wented to da new howse an da men brot in all owr stuff. Dey wuz some big strong furry nice guys. Mom got to tell dem what to do again. She liked it efun more dis time. While Mommie wuz directin' da movin' Dad wuz kinda quiet an worried bout us cuz AP called an said we still looked haf scared to death. Still we waited. Finally after years it seemed he came an gotted us.

Once we got to da new place Angie wuz a little scared but wuz ok enuf to eat. I ranned all ofur da place. Mommie says she heard werds come owt of mine mouf dat she nefur heard before! An dis place am BIG! Dare am so many windows I did not know what windows to look owt of ferst. After a few hours we finally calmed down an stayed on da bed till the hour of cat. Dat's da hour when hyoomans do not want to hear yoo coz its too early for dem. I started makin' all kinds of noises again jus to hear mine voice echo off da walls. Mommie says she finks I am turnin' Meezer. She wants to know how long me am gonna keep sayin all dese new werds?

Finally Friday Movin Day


Finally it's movin' day. Mommie says "take my hand and go with me."

But ferst we gots to go to Auntie Patty's howse? Why? Why we gots to go alla way to Auntie Patty's howse when owr new howse is only up da street? Yoo not gonna leave us at AP's are yoo? Yoo gonna come get us an bring us to da new howse rite?

We'll come wif yoo but don't leave us at APs too long K? An dare better be anofur refrigeramator dat I can sit up on like da king of da mountain at da new place. Plus yoo know we cats don't like change. An yoo all know how much I like mine office an cuddly place wif Powder. Am I gonna haf one of dem at da new place? huh Mom?

We will repurt back when we finally getz innernet aksess. Mom is bein' pawsitive bout efurryting but one brick wall after anofur keeps gettin frown up in front of her an Dad is sayin somefin bout AT&T igna.. ignarama.. oh some big werd for peoples dat don't know what dey are doin' keeps comin owt of her mouf. Mom am goin to rite a story bout all da brick walls dat pop up when yoo wants to get somefin new fur yurself. It must jus happen to hyoomans cuz we jus been havin fun jumpin in an owt of boxes an we don't see any brick walls at all. We jus see walls of boxes.

We am a little scared bout da ride alla way to Auntie Patties an back tho. Speshully cuz Angie likes to try to claw her way owt of da PTU till she makes her paws bleed. She am not a good traveler. So if efurryting goes well wif da closin' from one howse to anofur den we should be in owr new howse a little past dinner time. We expext treats an tuna tini's as a toast when we arrive an da beans say we can haf a big partay sometime soon after we settle in.
Luvs,
~Beau Beau & Angie

We are thankful for owr new yard even though we are not dare yet. But look at da windows! We can jus sit an look owtside and feel like we are owt dare.

Talking Thursday

I'm telling yoo dare are too many fings going on around here dat I don't know where to starts. So to gibs yoo an update we am gettin' ready to moove. Fings are moovin quikly an da nice peoples from Ireland dat owned da howse we am moovin too am taking care of some of da fings so Mom says it am a GO. An owr howse sold in one day. We jus put on owr nice smiley face an showed dem around an dat wuz it.

Boxes are effurywhere. Dare am so many boxes we don't know which one to jump in ferst. We know dat Max da Psychokitty an Buddah has mooved many times so we might dare experteese. We did hear how dey gets to run like a herd of thundering elefants all ofur da new place rite away an we likes dat part furry much an reely am lookin' forward to dat.

Efurry day am a new fing. One day we finks we has to go bisitin wif Dad beans Sisfur while dey moove. Den da next fing we might not haf too but we will haf to stay in a room by owrselfs. One day we am moovin. One day we am not. One day Mom yells. One day Dad yells. One day peoples come to bisit. One day da beans go away. Angie am startin' to look a little scairt an worried. I finks dat's more da Mom gettin' worried.

Da one good fing is dat we will haf a big new yard jus as nice as da one we haf now. An we won't haf to ride in da metal monster far coz we am only moovin up da street. We could prolly walk if we had too but dat would be too scary.

So lots of fings happenin' so if yoo noticed we haf not been bisitin yur bloggie an aren't aroun too much dat's why. We will keep poppin in here an dare so we don't get too behind.
Happy Thankful Thursday to efurryone!

Pee Ess. If anyone has any helpful moovin stories pweeze tell us. Fankyoo.

Purrs, Beau Beau & Angie

Freaky Friday

Angie's Amazing Circle. Ain't dat freaky? You can make one too! We used da picture at da bottom to make her circle. Yoo make it wif Photoshop.

Ferst, Yoo just has to make a selection that is squared. Use the selection tool, and set the aspect ratio to fixed. Then Enter the same number in both fields. 1 and 1 works. Make a selection. Apply the filter Polar Coordinates. Then you use the bottom radio button “Polar to Rectangular”. That's when yoo see somefin weird startin to take shape but there's more. You have to then rotate the selection 180 degrees. There are a few different ways to do this. One of them is to use the Edit menu, then Transform and Rotate 180 degrees. Now apply the Polar Coordinates filter again but do NOT just choose it from the top of the Filter menu. You have to change one of the parameters so you have to choose it from Filters > Distort > Polar Coordinates… again. This time, choose the upper radio button labeled “Rectangular to Polar”. Last, you crop your picture to get rid of the stuff surrounding your new Amazing circle.

If you want better instrukshuns just Google Amazing Circles and click on dat ferst link dat comes up.

Have fun!
