Mancat Meezer Movie Monday

Hello friends!  Merlin here with a movie, showing how Devi can be a pain in the buttocks.  Who do you think won?

If you have problems viewing the video, you can try viewing it on Youtube.

And for those of you who are not on Facebook, here's a great video of me playing with one of our holiday toys!

Thankful Thursday: Baby Sister

Hello all!  Today is Thankful Thursday with Brian, and we are thankful for many things.

First of all, we are very thankful that Merlin is back to normal.  We are thankful for all our friends who purred, prayed. and put their paws together for him.  Thank you!

Today, though, we are also thankful that we will be getting a new baby sister in March!  She has just been born, so she is tiny, and it is hard to tell that she is a tortie (you can just see that she isn't quite a solid black), but here is a video of her with two other Sphynx babies.  She's the one at the bottom.  As you can see, they don't even have their eyes open yet!  (Oh, and the breeder got our mom's name wrong in the video, but it's our little girl, we've been assured!)

 

So we are thankful that we are getting a new baby sister, and thankful that our angel sister Arwen was from a responsible breeder who honours her health guarantees in her cats.  We support rescues, and Devi was a rescue herself!  It's just that not many Sphynx end up in rescues (especially in Canada - there are more in the United States), and our dad is sadly allergic to furred cats.  We do support rescues and donate to them when we can.

Throwback Thursday: Kitten Movie

Dragonheart here!  Today for Throwback Thursday I have a video for all of you of when I was a kitten!  The video is from January 2007, so I was about 6 months old.  I was also an only cat back then.  Merlin hadn't even been born yet.  Enjoy!

If you are having problems viewing the video, you can try watching it on YouTube here.

Mancat Movie Meezer Monday: Cat Grass!

Merlin here!  Today I am sharing a video of me enjoying my cat grass.  I love my cat grass!  It has four different varieties of cat grass, and they all taste yummy!

If you have trouble watching the video, you can try viewing it here.

Throwback Thursday: Tunnel Fun

This week for Throwback Thursday we are going all the way back to May 2008.  Dragonheart was not quite 2 years old, and Merlin was about 9 months old.  Enjoy!

Dragonheart: In this video, I am inside the tunnel, and Merlin (as you can see) is outside. We are having a lot of fun playing with each other through the small, side tunnel.

Mancat Meezer Movie Monday

Merlin here!  So yesterday we showed you a couple of stills of me playing with the Whirlybird.  Well here's a video of me playing with it!

If you are having problems viewing the video, you can try watching it here.

Thanks again for all the purrs and prayers - they are very much appreciated.

We may not visit our friends much this week as our mom is really busy with grad school stuff.  But know we are thinking of you!

Flexible Frootbat Friday

So a short while ago we showed you this photo of Devi, mid-head shake.  You can see how our frootbat ears are very flexible!  No foolin'!  Our ears really do move like this!

Devi mid-head shake

For those of you unfamiliar with the flexibility of frootbat ears. we thought we would make a little video for you.  Here is Dragonheart, in slow motion, shaking his head.  You can really see how flexible our ears are!

If you have trouble viewing the video, you can try watching it here.

Also, our mom has some more photos of us shaking our heads, with our frootbat ears flying.  We all look a little silly in these, though.  Devi seems to take the best ear photos out of all of us.  We think that's because she is very expressive with her ears, even when she's not shaking her head.

Throwback Thursday: Cardboard Craze

This week for Throwback Thursday, we are sharing a post that initially appeared in September 2008.  Enjoy!

---

Merlin: I LOVE carboard boxes! They are so much fun to play in, and cardboard is so much fun to chew! I love destroying anything made of cardboard. Here you can see I am doing a good job of destroying this cardboard box.  P.S.  My eyes are blue, but the flashy box thing makes them look weird in the photos. P.P.S.  Yes, my mom made a typo and misspelled cardboard in the video title.  Good human help is hard to find!

Tongue Tuesday

Hello everyone!  First of all, we want to apologize to all our friends:  for the next two weeks, although we'll be posting, we may not get around to visiting all our friends.  It is getting near the end of the semester for our mom, and she has lots of projects and assignments to finish, and exams to study for.  So she is very busy and may not have time to help us visit all of our friends.  Know that we are thinking of all of you and purring for those who need it!  We will get her to help us visit you all again when her semester is over (April 15th is the last day that things are due).

Today, we have another video for you, showing Merlin grooming Devi.  You can see Merlin's tongue!

If you are having problems viewing the video, you can try viewing it here.

Have a wonderful day! Please leave us a comment here!

Mancat Meezer Movie Monday

I like to help my mom study!  I also like to purr.  Here you can see me helping her study, and you can hear me purring in the video.

Throwback Thursday: Grooming

We realized that we have a lot of new friends who haven't seen some of our old videos, plus it's been a while (these were first posted in 2008), so I'm sure our old friends don't remember them!  Our mom had certainly forgotten them.  (Silly humans, they should remember everything about us cats!)

Here we are (well, Dragonheart and Merlin), when we were still living in Germany. Dragonheart is about 2 in this video and Merlin had just turned 1 earlier that month.  (The video is after the two photos.)

Wordless Wednesday: Cat Grass

Meezer Rule Wednesday: Food!

Merlin: My Meezer Rule for today: Even though we are obligate carnivores, it is perfectly acceptable to eat other types of food. I particularly enjoy eating chips, animal crackers, digestive biscuits, cheese, and yogourt! In the video and photos below, I am enjoying some yummy chips/crisps.

Meezer Rule Wednesday: Tails

Merlin: My Meezer Rule for today: Tails make excellent toys! It is perfectly acceptable to play with your tail if there is no other toy available. Grooming your tail first, and then playing with it, is a lot of fun! (As demonstrated in the video below)

Meezer and Mancat Movie Monday: Grooming

Grooming your sibling is lots of fun! And it often leads to wrestling matches! Enjoy the video below!

We are sorry that we haven't been around to visit our friends as much as usual recently. Our humans are running the Munich Marathon in three weeks, and then they'll be running the Dublin Marathon two weeks after that, so they've been very busy training hard! The past two weeks have been the peak of their training mileage. We can't wait for the marathons to be over and done with, so our humans will have more time for us again!

Cats on Tuesday: Drinking

Dragonheart: I've discovered a new way of drinking water from our fountain! I like to stand on top of the fountain, and then drink the fresh water coming right out of the spout! Check out the video to see me in action!

Mancat & Meezer Movie Monday: Grooming!

So yesterday we weren't around because our humans went to the Kaltenberger Rittertournier (Kaltenberg Knights' Tournament). It's the largest Medieval Tournament in Modern Times. Other than the fact that it started POURING just as the tournament was beginning, and the heavy, heavy rains lasted for about half an hour, they had a great time! We will share some photos from the tournament with you all on Thursday, or else you can check out this link. Those who understand German can also check out the German site.

For today, we are presenting you with a video of us grooming. We Sphynx groom ourselves just like other cats do! However, because our tongues cannot keep up with the oils our skin secretes, since we have no fur for the oil to distribute itself through, we need weekly or biweekly baths to keep us healthy. Otherwise the oil builds up on our skin and can cause problems, in addition to rubbing off of objects that we spend a lot of time sitting or sleeping on!

If you have trouble viewing the video, you can try viewing another version here.
