Meezer Rule Wednesday: Quizzes

Merlin: When your sibling gets a cooler result in a quiz than you do, remember, it's just a silly quiz! (Especially when your mom is a Will Smith fan, but has no idea who Johnny Knoxville is. So we don't think this is a very good celebrity quiz, if we've never heard of one of the celebrities!)

Johnny Knoxville

Up for Anything

The kind of pet that can leap tall fences in a single bound (or not, but give it a shot anyhow), Merlin is the original Jackass, Johnny Knoxville!

Going through the pain so you don't have to, Merlin knows that he trots a fine line between funny and stupid, but he doesn't care—he's laughing about it all the way to the pet store. His over-the-top antics make you grimace with fear and you often find it hard to believe that he actually enjoys playing the class clown. But Merlin laps it up and continues to defy the odds, despite your warnings and concerns. Other males in the pack tend to be a little jealous of Merlin, but the females find him simply dreamy. A die-hard good ol' boy, Merlin is more of a General Lee type than a Knight Rider, but give him enough time to think things through and he's sure to find a way to wreck both vehicles at the same time.

Will Smith

Leading Man

A fresh prince in the pursuit of happiness, Dragonheart is megastar Will Smith!

Putting the jazz back in jazzy, Dragonheart is always moving and grooving to the beat of his own internal drum. Not one to settle for second best, Dragonheart only takes on projects that are sure to draw attention and improve his pawpularity in the pack. Dragonheart's broad appeal across breed, age and gender lines means that his actions often lead to his being named best in show. Smooth, suave and debonair... he's the perfect pet to take home to Mommy. Not lacking in the looks department, Dragonheart‘s toothy grin would send even the most furrocious group of alien invaders spinning helplessly back into space.

Cats on Tuesday: New Toy!

Cats on Tuesday

Our Humans were in Vienna on the weekend. While they were there, we had an excellent cat sitter looking after us. She visited us twice a day, and fed us, played with us, petted us, told us how handsome we are, made sure our fountain had water in it, and cleaned our litterboxes.

Before our humans left, they presented us with a new toy to play with while they were gone. It's called a "Kitty Brain Train" and has two sides. One side, that you can see below, is basically a ball track, with an inner and outer track. The other side is an interactive ball game.

In this video, you can see we are both having fun playing with the Kitty Brain Train!

We're Back!

Hello all! :) We are back. :) So sorry to disappear suddenly without any word, but our humans went to Vienna for the weekend (where they thought they would have internet access, but they didn't go online at all while they were there).

We had a wonderful cat sitter looking after us. She came twice daily to feed us, play with us, pet us and tell us what handsome boys we are, as well as clean our litterboxes and make sure there was plenty of water in our fountain for us.

Although the cat sitter takes very good care of us, we are very glad our humans are home. We will be back to regular blogging tomorrow. Thanks so much for your concern. You are all wonderful friends!

Meezer Rule Wednesday: Toys

Merlin: When it comes to toys, don't be afraid to improvise and experiment! Often the best toys are items that weren't intended to be used as toys, such as hair elastics, plastic tops off of Gatorade bottles, or other pieces of trash.

P.S. Thank you all for your congratulations for our humans' anniversary yesterday. The uniform our dad is wearing in their wedding photos is his "Mess Kit" or "Mess Dress". It's the formal uniform of an army officer in the Canadian Forces, and is the equivalent of a civilian tuxedo.

Cats on Tuesday: Outside

Cats on Tuesday

We had some beautiful weather here in Munich on the weekend. It was nice and warm and sunny. So we both got to go outside on our harnesses to explore our Garten (yard).

Dragonheart: I'm checking out the patio portion of our yard, right by the windows.

Merlin: I'm checking out the patio. My humans say that once I stop growing, I'll get a cool soft Puppia harness like Dragonheart's!

Dragonheart: I'm checking out one of the fences that divides our yard from our neighbour's.

Merlin: I'm exploring the grass! Grass sure feels weird under my feet!

Today is also our humans' fourth wedding anniversary! Happy Anniversary Mom & Dad! Here is one of their wedding photos:


Here's a slideshow of all their wedding photos:

If you can't view the slideshow, you can see all of their wedding photos here.

Photo Hunters: Thirteen

PSHunt

Thirteen

This is a photo of our mom and dad approaching the finish line of our mom's first half-marathon. A half-marathon is 13.1 miles (21.1 km). She has since run 7 half-marathons and 2 full marathons (26.2 miles / 42.2 km). Our mom and dad will be running another half-marathon tomorrow!

Today is also our dad's birthday! Happy Birthday Dad! We hope you have a great day! Alles Gute zum Geburtstag! We love you! :)

Double the Frootbats on Friday

Dragonheart: I have to admit, when I'm not curled up in my mom's lap, I do enjoy curling up next to my crazy little brother. Thankfully, his growth spurt seems to have come to an end. He's no longer eating our humans out of house and home, and he doesn't seem to be getting any bigger. Having him as the same size as me is enough - I don't need him to get any bigger!

Merlin: I'm 7.5 months old now! I'm growing in to a big Mancat, and although I'm the same size as Dragonheart, I weigh more than him! I'm built stockier, so although we're the same length, I weigh a little more! I love curling up with Dragonheart when our dad isn't home and when I'm not playing, running around the house, or wrestling with Dragonheart.

Thursday Thirteen: Our Dad


Since our dad's birthday is coming up on Saturday, April 19th, we are devoting this week's Thursday Thirteen to him. So we give you:

13 Reasons We Love Our Dad!

  1. Although he is allergic to cats, he's not allergic to Sphynx! We are very happy that he's not allergic to us.

  2. He lets us sleep with him and our mom in their bed at night.

  3. He is wonderful to curl up next to when we sleep - he gives off a lot of warmth!

  4. He gives the best head rubs!

  5. He lets us jump up on his shoulders so we can do our parrot imitations.

  6. He feeds us breakfast when we wake him up in the morning.

  7. He is wonderful to cuddle and snuggle with.

  8. He earns the multi-coloured papers (money) to buy us food, litter, treats and toys.

  9. He helps our mom look after us by helping with our baths, our ear cleanings, our claw clippings and our bum wipings.

  10. He's fun to play with.

  11. He tells us what good, handsome boys we are.

  12. He does a very important job and we are very proud of him.

  13. Most important of all, he loves us and we love him!

Cats on Tuesday: Toes & Tummy

Cats on Tuesday

Dragonheart: Here you can see the toes on one of my back paws. You can see that my paw pads are two-toned! You can see the long, slender toes that are typical of the Sphynx breed, as well as the thick paw pads that we have!

Meezer & Mancat Movie Monday!

Dragonheart: Merlin can be so silly. First, the crazy guy jumps up on top of the tent, which flattens it, and then he decides to curl up inside the flattened tent! What a silly, crazy kitten!

Merlin: Playing with the tent is fun! Here's a short video clip of me having lots of fun with the tent

Purring & Remembering

Miral has gone to the Rainbow Bridge. We are purring and praying for her family.

Thanks to The Cat Realm for the graphic.


There was a fire at the apartment where Mu Shue, Lilly Lu and Iris live. Their mom Laura was not home at the time. We are purring and praying that Mu Shue, Lilly Lu, Iris and all the other pets living in the building managed to get out and are safe. Watch the Cat Blogosphere for further updates.
