Screenshot Meme

The picture of Mr. Cheeky Squirrel on yesterday's photohunt was taken during August when it was about 103F outside. Here in Dallassss, squirrels and buns both will find bare earth and plop down like Mr. Cheeky Squirrel did to cool off when it gets in the 100s. Sometimes they will even dig a little depression to get to the cooler earth. Mr. Cheeky Squirrel was fine, just hot.

Eric & Flynn and Tamra Maew tagged us for the Desktop Screenshot Meme. Maw just changed her desktop last weekend from a picture of Il Divo to this Autumn picture. She loves Autumn the best of all the seasons. And yes, there is really only 1 icon on her desktop.

1) Upon receiving this tag, immediately perform a screen capture of your desktop. It is best that no icons be deleted before the screen capture so as to add to the element of fun. Here’s how to do it: Go to your desktop and press the Print Scrn key (located on the right side of the F12 key).

2.Open a graphics program (like Picture Manager, Paint, or Photoshop) and doing a Paste (CTRL + V). If you wish, you can “edit” the image before saving it. (If you have a Mac, it's different. You just open the Screenshot programme and click on photo and that's it!)

3.Post the picture on your blog. You can also give a short explanation on the look of your desktop if you want. You can explain why you prefer such a look or why it is full of icons. Things like that.

4.Tag five of your friends and ask them to give you a Free View of their desktops as well.

5.Add your name to the list of Free Viewers with a link pointing directly to your Desktop Free View post to promote it to succeeding participants.Others who have played:

Faz the Cat, Yoggie, Jimmy Joe, Kellie the Orange cat, Black Cat, Eric and Flynn.

We think most efurry poodin has done this already, but if you haven't, feel free to do it.

Annie Tabby Tuesday and Random Facts Meme

Ping tagged me for this meme and here are the guidelines.

The guidelines for this tag:
1. Link to your tagger and post these rules
2. Write some facts about yourself: some random, some weird, some just plain fun.
3. Tag 7 people at the end of your post and list their names (linking to them)
4. Let those 7 people know they’ve been tagged by leaving a comment at their blogs.
The challenge is to keep it interesting without making the reader think “Um, too much information…”


1. I luf my daddy. I wake him up in the middle of the night so he can hold my head in the palm of his hand. He enjoys this a lot.

2. I like to spit and hiss at Obi when he jumps up on the bathroom vanity when I'm trying to eat or drink. I also like to chase him off the bed if I don't want him there with me.

3. Maw & Paw call me a "chuman" since Maw bottle fed me from when I was a teeny tiny orphan kitten. I'm not all cat and I'm not human, but I'm a chuman. I have a confused identity sometimes.

4. Bow is my hero. He is the official top cat here and I admire him. I don't hiss or spit at him.

5. I hide very well, and when Maw is trying to find me, I don't let her know where I'm at. It's funny.

6. Before Davy was killed, I used to go outside with Bow & Jenny and Gatsbi. Gatsbi and I would race to the end of the backyard and back. Then I would jump the 6 ft. fence and race around to the front door to be let in the front door.

7. I like roast Chick-Hen from the store. Whenever Maw buys one and brings it home, I come out of hiding and meow and meow A LOT for roast Chick-Hen. I don't eat treats. I don't eat stinky goodness. I don't eat tuna. But I like roast Chick-Hen. Sometimes I like steak too. If it's cooked properly on the grill, and I'm in the mood for it.

Ok, I'm gonna tag just anybody who wants to do this, because I think it's been around for awhile.

Luf, Annie

Memes

Well, we're behind on several Memes that we were tagged to do. So we're doing them all today. And we're not tagging anybody because most efurrybody has already been tagged.

Bliss and Vinegar tagged us back in July for 8 Random Facts about us. We're gonna let Maw answer this Meme since 8 times 10 would be 80 Random Facts and she would get writer's cramp doing all that dictation for us.

1. We have to post these rules before we give you the facts.
2. Players start with eight random facts/habits about themselves.
3. People who are tagged need to write on their own blog about their eight things and post these rules.
4. At the end of your blog, you need to choose eight people to get tagged and list their names.
Don’t forget to leave them a comment telling them they’re tagged, and to read your blog.
***************************************
The most random facts about Maw…
1. Maw was in the US Air Force for 4 years many, many eons ago.
2. Maw was raised in Indianapolis, spent 10 years in Omaha, and then moved to Dallas.
3. This is Maw's favorite web site: Tom Grisak Estate Homes She loves to go here to drool.
4. Maw loves Frappacinos from the bottle. She had to limit herself to 2 per day because she had a very big weight gain when she drank 4 per day.
5. Maw and her cousin used to dream about having an animal sanctuary when they were little girls. They said they would take in every stray animal they could find.
6. Maw and Paw were married on the island of Kauai in Hawaii. She planned the whole thing over the internet and they had an "untraditional" ceremony on a private estate and didn't invite anyone. The guitarist and the photographer were witnesses.
7. Maw loves the mountains and would love to retire in the middle of nowhere with mountains all around.
8. Maw would be perfectly happy to be a hermit as long as she had internet access.


And Flynn from Eric and Flynn tagged Obi for a Meme back in July also.

What were you doing 10 years ago? I was living my life as a squirrel attempting to reach my highest spiritual potential, not realizing that I would need to reincarnate many times over to learn life's lessons.

What were you doing a year ago? Sleeping outside in my enclosure in the August heat.

What are your five favorite snacks? Temptayshuns!, food, nip, TUNA, Temptayshuns!

Five songs you know all the words to: I only know one song. It's the one Maw sings to me all the time. "Obi dobi do, we love you, Obi dobi do, we love you, Obi dobi do, we love you, Obi dobi do, we love you.

Five things you would do if you had a million dollars: I would buy a ginormous house with stairs so that we could each have a room and we could play thundering herds of elephants up and down the stairs and we could each hide in our own rooms. Behind the house would be a ginormous shelter for unwanted poodins. And I would educate stoopid beans to get their cats and dogs fixed.

Five bad habits: Whapping other poodins on the head when they look at me. Jumping on Maw's lap when another poodin is already there. Sticking my head in the food bowl when another poodin is already eating. Whapping Annie on the head when she jumps on the sink. Taking over the Kitty Teaser game when it's G.T.'s turn to play.

Five things I'll nefur wear again: e-collar, e-collar, e-collar, e-collar, e-collar

Five favorite toys: Nip, Whirly-bird, Kitty Teaser, laser pointer, cat trees


Then we were tagged by Storm, The Furry Fighter with the Middle Name Meme. We're only going to do one of us. We'll do Dorf. His name is Dorfington Fish Stanley. Stanley is not our last name, so we don't know why he uses that, but, whatever.

Here are the rules:
1. Post the rules before you give the facts.
2. List one fact that is somehow relevant to you and your life for each letter of your middle name. If you don’t have a middle name, use the middle name you would have liked to have had.
3. When you are tagged you need to write your post using your middle name and facts about it.
4. At the end of your post, choose one cat to tag for each letter of your middle name. Be sure to let each cat know she/he has been tagged. (It's okay if you don't do this... tag who you want to tag!)

F: Fangs no more.
I: Irresistably cute. 'Nuf said.
S: Sleep is underrated. Naps all around! Good night.
H: Happy to be done with the vet dentist.

Seven Random Facts About Me (Dorf)

One-Eyed-Jack tagged me, Dorf, to play the Seven Random Facts meme. You know the rules.

Seven Random Facts About Me:

1) My real brother is G.T. Most people can't tell us apart.

2) For several years I was really mean to Obi, Reno and Bow and would chase them and torment them. I also was peeing in inappropriate places. The V-E-T said I was just too stressed from too many poodins in too small an area and so I was on antidepressants and anti-anxiety meds for a couple of years. It was actually my teeth that were hurting very badly. After I had 19 teeth pulled, I feel much better. Sometimes I still chase Obi and Reno and Bow though and I still get yelled at for doing it. (Old habits die hard.) Sometimes I have to go in timeout.

3) I am getting a permanent indentation on my upper lip from my snaggletooth getting caught against my lip.

4) I follow Maw everywhere. I love to sleep with Maw. I also love to help Maw eat yogurt.

5) I like Shredded Sharp Cheddar Cheese too.

Seven Random Facts About Me (Reno)

One-Eyed-Jack tagged me, Reno, to play the Seven Random Facts meme. You know the rules.

Seven Random Facts About Me:

1) As I've said in previous posts, I'm a perfectly symmetrical Tuxedo poodin. What is on one side of me is on the other side of me. Even my butt is equal.

2) My right eye is scarred very badly from the Feline Herpes1 virus because I was with that crazy cat lady in her stoopid garage in a cage the longest of the 4 of us and I didn't get the proper medications to help my eye. When Maw can nab me, she scrubs my eye with a warm, moist cotton ball to get the black goop off it.

3) I am also the most terrified of being handled among the four of us "fosters". Whenever it looks like Maw or Paw are getting close enough to scoop me up, I take off. They have to nab me from a deep slumber to trim my nails first, because if I know nail trimming is going on, I'll hide out for the next month!!!

4) I think Maw is a poodin. I chirp to her. I never meow. Maw says that I say, "bluuuurrrppp". Whatever that means. I also coo.

5) I love to rassle with Smokey & Obi. I pull Obi's furs out and leave nice white tuffs of his fur on the floor.

6) I am very scared of Dorf. If he gets close to me, I take off running into the nearest corner and spit and hiss. If he keeps coming, I start screaming. If that doesn't work, I pee myself. Yup.

7) My nicknames are Reno Deno Do, Beanie, or Beaner.

My tagees: Any poodin who hasn't played yet.

Luf, Reno

Seven Random Facts About Me (G.T.)

One-Eyed-Jack tagged me, G.T, to play the Seven Random Facts meme. You know the rules.

2) When Maw is sitting at the pooter, I stand up on my hind legs and pat her arm so that she'll pick me up and hold me over her shoulder.

3) When Maw is folding laundry, I pat her arm so that she'll pick me up and hold me over her shoulder.

5) I'm picking up on Dorf's bad habits and I torment Obi, Reno, and Bow. I get yelled at when I do that.

6) When Maw is trying to read or watch TV, I sit next to my fishing pole toy and stare at her. For hours. Until she plays with me.

7) I love shredded sharp cheddar cheese, rotisserie chicken, steak, salmon patties from Costco, and aerosol whipped cream. I don't like tuna. Nope.

5) I have several nicknames: Tiny, Tiny Tiger, and Sgt. Sally. I am Sgt. Sally because I patrol the house, garage and cat enclosure and announce my reports by howling.

6) I love love love to sit in the cat enclosure. I love love love to go through the cat flap. Yup.

Seven Random Facts About Me (Bow)

Lookie guys!! Karen Jo featured Bow yesterday for a Kitty Limerick!!!


One-Eyed-Jack tagged me, Bow, to play the Seven Random Facts meme. Actually, Jack tagged the rest of us here at the Forty Paws who weren't tagged.

You know the rules.

Seven Random Facts About Me:

1) I'm Top Cat. Don't get confused about this. I'm the oldest, I've been here the longest. I'll smack any poodin who thinks otherwise.

2) I'm usually in hiding so that Maw can't give me my Prednisolone. I hate taking my medicine, but I also hate yakking when I don't take it.

3) I love sitting in the cat enclosure. I used to be an indoor/outdoor cat for the first 10 years of my life, so I really love being outside, but then Davy was killed and we can only go into the cat cage now.

4) Back when I used to go outside, I came home one night in the middle of the night and Maw let me in. I was covered in used motor oil. Maw never did find out how that happened, but I had to go to the V-E-T where they Gooped me 3 times to get it all out of my furs. Yuck.

5) I have a bee-bee pellet in my back from when I used to go outside. Maw figures some mean kids used me as target practice in the field behind our house.

6) I love love love my heated cat cup. I was perfectly happy with it before Gatsbi and Jenny discovered it. I also love the outside temperature to be in the 80's. That's a nice, comfy temperature for me. Yup.

7) I have told Maw a gazillion times if not ninetytwo eleven that we can have NO MORE CATS. I told her that after Jenny. I told her that after Annie. I told her that after Gatsbi. I told her that after Dorf & G.T. I told her that after the 4 fosters. Does she listen? Now she's feeding that Orinch thing. A Man Cat can only handle so much you know.

Seven Random Facts About Me (Gatsbi)

One-Eyed-Jack tagged me, Gatsbi, to play the Seven Random Facts meme. Actually, Jack tagged the rest of us here at the Forty Paws who weren't tagged. So we'll be busy for the next seven days doing meme's on effurybody else. But I'm first.

Here are the rules. Each player starts with seven random facts about themselves. Cats who are tagged need to write on their own blog about the seven things and the rules. You need to choose seven cats to tag and list their names. Don’t forget to leave them a comment that they have been tagged and to read your blog!

Seven Random Facts About Me:

1) I was born to a feral mama, but we were all caught at a very tiny age and so none of us kittens ended up being feral. Our mama was released at a barn though after she cared for us and was fixed because she really was totally feral. Maw fostered us and ended up keeping me because I have a neurological issue.

2) I walk with a straight front right leg, so my butt swings back and forth when I walk or run, and my head bobs when I'm eating and grooming.

3) I have been on a d-i-e-t for a few months now and I've lost 1.75 lbs. Since I can't jump up on tables or counters, my food is on the floor and efurrybody else's food is up high. No fair. The V-E-T said I should only weigh half of what I do weigh. Bummer.

4) Since I've lost weight, I can fit through the cat flap again and so now I go into the cat enclosure in the back yard again!

5) I still get my morning tuna, so that is good. And last night Maw made Pork Pot Pie and I had a little bit of pork!!! I jumped on the chair and Maw held the pork in her palm. That's the only way I can eat bean food, when Maw holds it in her palm cause my head bobs.

6) I growl at any poodin that looks at me or gets within 3 feet of me.

7) I love Bow's heated cat cup, and Maw had to buy an extra one just for me because I took over Bow's.

Seven Random Facts About Me (Jenny)

Yuki & Kimiko tagged me, Jenny, to play the Seven Random Facts meme. Here are the rules. Each player starts with seven random facts about themselves. Cats who are tagged need to write on their own blog about the seven things and the rules. You need to choose seven cats to tag and list their names. Don’t forget to leave them a comment that they have been tagged and to read your blog!

Seven Random Facts About Me:

1) I am truly a formerly feral poodin. I wasn't trapped until I was between 3-4 months of age. I have never really learned that it's ok to trust beans, so I'm pretty much terrified of everything. I lived in a cat colony under an old lady's house next to a Taco Bell. I still get cravings for taco meat.

2) Because I'm scared of everything, I've only been to the vet maybe 4 times. Maw & Paw always say it's a good thing that I don't get sick because they would never be able to treat me. I did catch ringworm one time when Maw brought it home from the Luv-a-Pet center when she volunteered with the Humane Society. But it just had to go away on its own because Maw couldn't treat me.

3) I love to sit on the top step of stepladders. I let my legs hang over the edge.

4) I am called "Velcro Toes" because my claws are so long that they stick to the carpet as I walk.

5) I let Smokey chase me and I scream like I'm being tortured. That's fun.

6) I love tuna and tuna juice.

7) Bow is my best poodin friend. We've been together for a very long time.

Don’t forget to leave them a comment that they have been tagged and to read your blog!

Seven Random Facts About Me:

1) My full name is Lil' Orphan Annie because I was abandoned by my real momma when I was a week old, and someone took me to the police station. A nice policeman took me to a vet who gave him KMR and a bottle, so he took me and my bottle to PetsMart to try and find someone to take me. Luckily, Maw was there and brought me home with her.

2) I really like to go pee pee in the bathroom sinks. So Maw keeps them filled with water so I can't do that. And the other poodins use the sinks as water bowls. Some of the poodins play in the water and splash it on the mirrors.

3) I love to help make the beds. If another poodin tries to help, I get REALLY mad and spit and hiss and attack them and make them leave. It's MY job to help make the beds.

4) I am a daddy's girl. I love to lick his aftershave off him. I love to sit by his pooter screen and get fur all over it and his papers.

5) I love to play "Where's Annie?" Maw and Paw cover me with newspapers and then they ask "Where's Annie?" and I surprise them by leaping out!!!! It's lots of fun. Sometimes they put a spongebob ball under the papers with me and I play with it.

6) I hate to walk on throw rugs. I leap over them to avoid walking on them.

7) I personally think my life would be much better as an only cat, but that would be difficult in this house. I really hate it when evil intruders come to visit my yard, like Orinch, and the black cat with the fat cheeks. Yup.
