My name is Ninja Rosebud, Master of the Threadcount.
I will teach you in the ancient ways of the luxury bedding so that you might one day defeat low thread count and return honor to your futon.
Yes, really, her name is Ninja Rosebud! Right, Emma? Photo by Stuart Alliecat.
It’s a little chilly, so Ninja kitty would like to work an undercovers job today. (He’ll note it on his time sheet.)
Ninja Kitty is on the case. The Pillow Case.
260O firing on all cylinders today! Bravo!

Adorable little punkin!
Well everyone … I would like to thank everyone that supported me after the death of my kitty Sparky, and gave great advice on a possible new addition. Well I went to the shelter and spoke with several kitties – and I found THE ONE. I have a new kitten friend in my home!! Her name is Powderpuff – I don’t know how to post a picture here – but I just want to say thank you for the support and advice – the wait for a new friend seemed long but so worth it!!
Here’s a picture of her wearing a small hat!

I would call this lil’ guy Half ‘Stache.
You just had to post a kitty on a bed, huh? You somehow knew that this morning it was particularly excruciating to disentangle myself from Chloe and get up, and I barely made it to work, and I’m feeling all grumbly because I just want to go home and go back to bed and cuddle some more. So you decided to taunt me by showing a cute kitty on pretty bedsheets. Damn you, CO! (waving fist)
and it’s Friday, making it particularly difficult to drag oneself out of bed…
How’s Chloe doing? And of course, Skippy, Eddy, and Frannie?
Hi, ceejoe! Thanks for asking, they are all doing well. Chloe’s eye is all better (still looks a bit weird, but so what). As of today she is down to only three medications. Now we are trying to figure out why she has gone bald around her neck and shoulders (lab results due Monday).
How are your eleven pals?
Everybody doing well. Had an annual check-up vet visit for a couple of the older ones on Tuesday, Joey and Samantha. They’ve lost some weight, but seem to be ok for a couple of geriatrics.
I’ll send Chloe some more positive thoughts.
*hands skippymom a candy pacifier to use while
she drives to — ugh!!! — workies*
*sighs in empathetic trauma*
Oh no, I feel sooo guilty now.
Would it help any to imagine your boss with cute whiskers? Fuzzy ears? And a tail???!
Well, no, not really.
Would it help if your boss had only half a mustache?
Oh, yeah, skippymom?! You try to go to the bathroom and have your boy kitty, Dooley, come in and demand pets while you are on the toilet and then as you are trying to get ready to deliver newspapers
He is a stinker, but we love him 
skippy — I posted something to help but I used a word referring to tragedy so it’s been *bleeped* at the moment…check back later plz. sowwy!!
Hey, Leslie, I’ll hang out with you in the Mod Lounge if you want.

**Great College Try, tho’ pyrit**
Here ya go skippy; maybe this’ll help, just a tad bit, in the meantime:

Wha? Is that a picture of you, pouting?
My Dad (the Spit Bath King®) has a framed picture of me, ca. age three, in the most furious, death-ray sulk anyone has ever seen. I don’t know how I didn’t just destroy the world with that sulk.
Hehe. There an infamous Christmas portrait of our family, when I was just turned 3, and I’m glowering like a thundercloud. (Because the photog wouldn’t give me the stupid toy. Don’t flap it at me if you’re not gonna hand it over!)
And we want to see your picture, too, Auntie.
Theresa, you MUST borrow that picture and post it here. We DEMAND to see it.
No can do, but I can tell you that I bore a striking resemblance to the old-school illustrations on Ramona from the Beverly Cleary books.
Like dees:

almost. It’s just *a photo* of *a gal* pouting. Not me, tho’.
(I went through Ask.com / Images and made a search).
Sorry that the photo is teeny-tiny. I tried to larger-ize the photo and only saw that one. Glad if you enjoyed it!!!
OH — and the Moderators dun’ released
my earlier (time-stamped 8:28) comment!!
Peeps, I have just been informed of a KITTEN EMERGENCY. A coworker found three newborn kittens in her storage unit, but no mama. Another coworker told her that the mama probably got scared when they opened the door to enter the unit. She did not want to leave the babies there so she put them in a box and took them with her…and then dropped them off at a friend’s house. Said friend did not happen to be home at the time.
I just went to this coworker and avoided the temptation to give her a tongue-lashing, and instead gave her my cell phone # and told her that she needed to call the friends, make sure they found the kittens and that the kittens were OK, and if they can’t or don’t know how to care for the kittens, to call me. I can’t keep them, but I do know how to foster them and can get them out of the woods.
My husband’s gonna kill me….
Oh, and Ninja Rosebud is bee-yoo-ti-ful!
Geez. Why didn’t she drop them at a shelter or something? Or leave them alone and see if the mama cat would come back?
Yeah. That’s kind of what I thought, but I know a lot of shelters don’t have the resources to deal with very young kittens. The coworker meant well, but she’s not a cat person and didn’t know any better.
Someone should go to the storage unit and see if they can find the momcat.
Yes, please. She must have freaked if she came back and her babies were fone.
*fixes the “f” into a “g” in skippymom’s comment*
Yes, PLEASE go back to the storage unit and find the mama. She must be going wild. And take the kittens along–she would never leave willingly without them. How would YOU feel if someone had just taken your children away because they wanted to “help”? I appreciate the desire to help– at least she did SOMETHING, so that is to be commended.
I’m kind of torn. On one hand I understand that momcat must be frantic. On the other hand, this is surely a feral momcat who will raise feral kittens. On the brighter side, a friend is going to get me the numbers of some rescue organizations that are set up to deal with kittens.
Do you know how old the kittens are? If they’re old enough that they can manage without mom, then maybe it’s not such a big deal.
If nothing else, however, if momcat was found, she could be spayed before being re-released , so that there would be no future litters.
I know there are some Dallas (TX) area peeps on CO…anyone interested in adding a kitten to their family in the future?
Noelegy- dang, my house is full!
Did you try Operation Kindness? Even if they’re full, they usually have volunteers that foster & if you can manage to get the momcat, they may be able to help get her taken care of too.
I have not heard from the coworker–yet–but a friend who is savvy about animal rescue has passed on some numbers to me. I will add Operation Kindness to my list, thank you!!
Ninja’s little black spot next to her nose is shaped exactly like a Pepperidge Farm Goldfish cracker! Awww!
Those eyes are hypnotizing:
YOU.WILL. bring me Fancy Feast. And a dozen catnip mouses. And you will sleep on the floor and leave me this puny sized bed.
YOU.WILL. transfer all of your bank accounts and credit cards to my name. And the title to your car.
me: “anything else, o charming One???”
Yes, sweet overlord Ninja Rosebud. And I will of course do it all with a smile on my face.
There is a book all you cat lovers must read if you haven’t already. It’s called “The Wild Road,” by Gabriel King (actually a pseudonym for a two-writer team) and it’s been likened to “Watership Down” and “Tailchaser’s Song.” I bought a copy years ago but for some reason didn’t read it right away. I ran across it a few weeks ago and could not put it down. It’s out of print so you will probably have to look for it in used book stores or Amazon or the like. But it is definitely well worth seeking out. The writers totally get cats, and the result is beautiful (very sad at times). It’s quickly become one of my favorite books.
For some reason Ninja Rosebud’s face and expression remind me of Cypher, one of the cats from “The Wild Road.”

Ninja Rosebud, another spoiled rotten kitty
as if there were not any other 
Low thread-count is indeed a terrible scourge. Teach me all you know, Ninja Rose.
