Catmas Rascal Fiasco

Twas Catmas Eve and Clooney Claus's deers came a-knockin'

Headquarters was dark

Definitely not rockin'...

Earlier that day, Mini-Cloon had scheduled a fitting

All the hats were lined up

The niptinis hard-hitting!

  Clooney Claus had zoned-out

He had not been about

Delivering nip mice

To felines naughty and nice.

 What a fiasco

He missed Catmas

That rascal!

Not only that

But he had a secret.

Ducky's relatives

Were all arriving in sequence.

Hoping to sample

Neytiri's holiday baking genius.

 On route to Headquarters

They soon would arrive 

Catmas now gone

Boxing Day would suffice.

We hope you all had

A fabulous Catmas!

Season's Greetings & Happy Holidays to all...

And a New Year filled with magic!

A PURRFECT 10

Psst...hey folks...

It's me Cloon...over here in the dark. 

Can you see me?

Wassup?  

It's the wee hours of the morn...and I wanted to let you in on a little secret...

 It's my 10th Birthday!  

And guess what?

It's the official opening day of Clooneyland!  Just in time for my Birthday Celebration...

 

 

 My Human organized a special exhibit for opening day to celebrate my 10 years of fabulousness...

Now, I'm going to turn on the telly in anticipation of my special announcement for opening day...

 What the--?!...

Wait a minute here...theese was not part of my plan! I wonder what kind of demands I'm going to get from the marmots in order for them to get back to work and open Clooneyland?  At least they had the decency to wish me a Happy Birthday...

Hmm, now plans have changed and I'm going to have to improvise on the fly...

The sun's up now and I'm waiting at the door...

ready to greet each guest with a Niptini...

Looks like it will be party games at Headquarters instead and lots and lots of Niptinis...

Hey look up, felines...there's a special message...

It's from my Human...and she says...

I'm a Purrfect 10!

TUNNEL TUESDAY

TUNNEL TUESDAY: HOLIDAY GIFTIES  - "Make Your Own Niptini Kit"

Well hello there Audience.  Welcome to our first week of Holiday Gifties, where we shall give the Audience ideas for cool Christmas pressies for the hard-to-shop for felines on your list.  First up is a "Make Your Own Niptini Kit"!  Isn't that fantastic, felines?  We were very excited about theese one!

Let's take a closer look, shall we?

Neytiri is displaying the items from the Niptini kit and we have:

1) A package of high-grade catnip...now in theese case we have chosen to use the B.C. Buddy Herbal Blendz Mx which is very potent!

2) A miniature shaker cup (We likes our Niptinis "shaken" not stirred at Headquarters.)

3) A fancy martini Niptini glass

Neytiri is checking out the glass just to make sure it is up to snuff...

Now what you all will need is some H2O.  Take the H2O and puts it in the shaker cup.  Then adds a copious amount of nip...

Then proceed to give the ol' shaker cup a good shakin'!  Now theese shaker cup had a mind of its own and started to do the job without any assistance from us (Watch out David Blaine!)...

Voila!  Your Niptini is ready to be poured into the fancy Niptini glass...

Then it's "down the hatch" or sipping and savouring it slowly for the discriminating feline.
We give the "Make Your Own Niptini Kit" an 8 out of 8 paw rating! Theese pressie is guaranteed to thrill any nip-crazy feline on your list!

Join us, next TUESDAY, for our "Tunnel Tuesday: Holiday Gifties" where each Tuesday till Christmas, a cool gift idea will appear magically in theese shopping cart!

Niptini-Free Friday

Free Niptini Friday...I mean...Niptini-Free Friday!

Hello there felines.  This is Uncle Cloon here with an important message for you kitties.  Make sure you monitor your Niptini intake this weekend!  I went overboard earlier on in the week and still have been suffering the consequences...JUST SAY NO!  Trust me on theese one!  Apparently, I had been testing some new colognes on myself during my, uh...shall we say indulgence.  Theese has caused some problems at Headquarters in the last few days.  Apparently, Secretary Neytiri does not like my "new" scent and has been growling and hissing at me.  Today, we came very close to our first ever boxing match.  So, Mancats do not buy the cheap cologne...Ladycats are a bit unforgiving when it comes to this!  Well folks...TGIF!  (In my books, this means: Thank God I'm Feline...)

(Update from Cloon's Human:  My little guy is still a bit under the weather.  I'm not sure if the intubation has irritated his throat or what but he hasn't had a big appetite the past 2 days and has been withdrawn.  If you could send him some good thoughts, I'd appreciate it. )

Wordy Wednesday - Stirred...Not Shaken

Well hello there Audience.  I'm afraid I may have had WAY TOO MANY Niptinis...I wokes up with theese Niptini glass next to me???  At least I feel like I had alot of them...I thinks the tarbender may have shaken them...and I only drinks them "stirred"!  Also felines, I may have joined a gang in theese fuzzy state of mind.  I has theese red band on my leg and I don't know where it comes from.  Red kinda goes nicely with my furs, don't you think?  Think of the sequel:
"The Hangover 3 - The Niptini Edition"...

Whoa!  I'm fading fast folks...I'm going to pass theese story over to my Human...

Wow, what a day.  I sat on pins and needles waiting for the Vet to call. 
(I'm a nervous and protective Cat-Mom...that's just the way I roll.)  And no call came.  So I thought that was probably a good thing.  Finally, I couldn't take it anymore and called the clinic.  At 1PM, they said Clooney was just starting to wake up.  I wasn't able to talk to the Vet and no one at the desk really knew any information.  They said everything was most likely ok if I wasn't called and to come at 5 PM to get Clooney.  At 5:30 PM I was able to talk with the Vet.  Clooney was under the anesthetic for 1 hour and the Vet said he did well.  His throat was checked for polyps and his right ear was examined again more closely.  No evidence of anything in his throat  and the x-rays  were all clear and purr-fect!  No signs of any kind of abnormalities anywhere!  It looks like what is blocking the view of the eardrum is just wax but it is too close to the eardrum to try to take out.  The dental x-rays were also purr-fect!  All roots are healthy and no teeth were removed.  His teeth were cleaned as they have needed a cleaning.  Looks like the swollen bump along the nose, which has gone down almost completely in the past few days, (must be those purrs!) is not related to the teeth.  The Vet thinks it may have been due to an outside trauma of some sort like him bumping into something. In the past 4 hours that we've been home, he's been more stirred than shaken...He has had a few licks of Num-Nums, eaten a few crunchies but mainly just sits in different spots and stares.  There's been a bit of sneezing and a bit of a cough from the intubation.  Neytiri is walking wide circles around him stretching out to sniff him at a distance!  But The Cloon always smells good to me! 

A tremendous and heartfelt thank you to everyone for the good thoughts and purrs.  The power of the purr prevails!

MAKE SURE TO DROP BY ON JULY 14, 2011 FOR CLOONEY'S 5TH BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION!
