First trip outside

I had my first visit to The Outside today! I don't mean the bad bit of The Outside which involves being shoved into the PTU and taken to the vet, I mean the good bit where you get to smell the outside smells and you're not in the PTU!

Jasmine got me a nice harness when I first came to live with her last year, but as I was quite sick for a long time, she didn't let me go to The Outside other than to see the vet. I was furry small when I first met Jasmine, so she had bought a furry small harness. When she pulled it out tonight, she was worried that it wasn't going to fit anymore because, well, um, there's a little more of me to love now.

Jasmine adjusted all the straps and we gave it a go. It *just* fits now. I'm glad it fits because it's furry pretty. The harness looks like black velveteen, which is nice because it's sophisticated, but also comfortable. The black velveteen is highlighted with a furry pretty silver sparkly stripe. Furry stylish, and it goes well with my grey furs.

BTW, when I say this is my first trip to The Outside, I actually mean my first trip since the start of my new life, which is since I was rescued by the SPCA and nursed back to health by Jasmine. You can read about my story here and here.

We didn't go furry far at all. In fact, we only went onto the balcony. I have been furry curious about the balcony since Jasmine and Peter started using it recently (now that the weather is nice). I mostly just sat underneath Jasmine's chair and rolled around on my back. I like to roll around on my back when the weather is warm.

Chomping the Cookie

Last year I introduced you to my friend Mr Cookie. He is a good friend, but sometimes I just can't resist chomping him. In fact, I have this reaction to many things.

I wonder if this is why Jasmine sometimes calls me Little Miss Chompy?

Claw trimming

Jasmine and Peter clipped my claws the other day. I was not furry happy about this. I know they only clipped the very end pointy bit, but I'm still not furry happy about it.

Beans should never go away

My beans went away for a few days. One of their friends came over to give me foods and water and pats. He likes poodins and he was nice to me, but it's nice to have my beans back. I miaowed and miaowed at them the second they walked in the door. I was telling them I'd prefer it if they never went away!

In other news, I've been thinking for a while that I should update my profile picture. The one I've been using is from the first day I came to be fostered by Jasmine. That was a while ago and I've grown up a bit since then.

Catbook, it's like Facebook, but for us kitties

Are any of your beans into Facebook? If so, you should tell them about Catbook. It's a Facebook app for us kitties. It's cool because we can create our own kitty profile and link to other kitty friends on Catbook.

I have my very own Catbook profile here: Ashley's Catbook Profile. If you are in Catbook too, I'd love to hear from you and add you to my friend list!

Purrs,
Ashley =^..^=

Real live dead crabs

I'm sorry I've been gone from the internet for so long. It is, of course, entirely Jasmine's fault!! She has been neglecting her own blog as well, so I guess that makes it slightly less bad.

So, I'm still here. Still doing my best not to get adopted so that Jasmine fosters me forever. :)

Tonight I did something which Jasmine thought was furry strange. Jasmine and Peter were chomping crabs for dinner tonight. Real live dead crabs they picked up at a fish market this weekend. I was furry interested in this new dinner, so Jasmine picked off some crabby bits and put them in my food bowl. I raced over to the food bowl, sniffed a bit, then walked away! Jasmine thought this was furry strange indeed!

I'm a cube!

I was playing with the cube and then Jasmine turned me into a cube!

Merry Chrissymouse efurryone!

I think Santy Paws must have been paying attention. I've been (mostly!) a good girl this year (no one's perfect - right?) And I've certainly been a furry good girl since I've been living with my foster beans over the past few months.

Here's the Chrissymouse stocking Jasmine gave so Santy Paws would have somewhere to put my presents. I think it looks furry pretty hanging there next to our Chrissymouse tree.


Here's a close-up of my Chrissymouse stocking.


Here are some of the toys - a mousy on a wand, and a Santy Paws hat. I'm pretty sure Jasmine is going to make me model the hat later! Not sure what I think of that, but maybe I will do it for some temptations and more Chrissymouse ham.


And look at this huge stash of toys! Jasmine wanted to take a picture of it looking all pretty in the stocking before I got stuck into it.


Here's the stash unpacked!


And lookie at this! A self-warming floofly blanket! Wow, sounds furry high-tech!


I'm off to test out all these presents! Purry Chrissymouse to efurryone!

Lots of Santy Paws hats!

I was just visiting Beezer's blog and discovered a cool website that let's you wear lots and lots of nice hats. Here I am posing in one of the hats. This is kinda fun. I think I will try on another hat tomorrow!

Vishus deer for dinner

Last night Jasmine and Peter went out to dinner. Jasmine saw venison on the menu, and Peter said "that's deer". Jasmine said "Vishus deer?? Oooo! Ashley might think it was cool if I ate some vishus deer!"

Do you like my new Santa hat. I think it's furry fun and festive!

Kitty video clip

Tehehe! Lookie at this video clip I found! It's full of kitties!

Brave mousies

Jasmine showed me a news article today about more weird beans. Some beans genetically engineered a mouse not to be scared of poodins! In the news video, you can see that the mouse is rudely running all over and around the nice tabby! Maybe this could be a good thing though? Maybe if the mice are not scared of us, and that will make it easier for us to catch them and chomp them. What do you think?

Glow-in-the-dark kitties?

Some beans are weird. Jasmine just showed me a news article about beans who made glow-in-the-dark kitties!

Helping

Today I am helping Jasmine put things away in the kitchen cupboards. As a poodin, I am obviously a furry good snooperviser!

I had to get in really close to make sure Jasmine put everything in the right place. I know she really appreciated my help!

Do you help your beans with stuff like this?

Chatty

I never used to be very chatty. When I first came to stay with my foster beans, I barely said a word (except when they shoved me in the PTU and drove me to the vet - then I said quite a lot of words!)

Recently I've become much more chatty. Often I'm just asking for food, but sometimes I'm just having conversations. Something else I do, which Jasmine thinks is furry cute, is that I always say a little "meow" after Jasmine sneezes. She asked if I'm saying a little kitty "bless you", or whether I'm complaining because her sneezes are loud sneezes!

Blog readability level

I found this blog readability test on Chase's blog. I tried it on my blog and discovered that my blog is furry easy to read:

I tried it on Jasmine's blog too, and discovered that Jasmine's is a little more complicated. I'm not surprised though because Jasmine writes about solving Rubik's Cubes!

Kitty necklace

Looky at this pretty necklace Jasmine bought. It's silver and it's a poodin! I like it furry much. Every time Jasmine cuddles me and happens to be wearing this, I always paw at it. Jasmine thinks I'm just playing, but actually I'm trying to take it off her because I think it would look better on me.

Happy Gobble Gobble Turkey Day!

Happy Gobble Gobble Turkey Day to all the poodins and their beans!

Jasmine is Australian, so she doesn't really know about Thanksgiving. But while she's living in Mericky, she wanted to get into the spirit of things. Since I'm a Mericky poodin, Jasmine asked me about Thanksgiving. I told her that Thanksgiving is about eating lots of gobble-gobble fev-vers and thinking about things you are thankful for.

Jasmine thought this sounded pretty good, so she cooked a gobble gobble for me and Peter and herself. Jasmine has never cooked a gobble gobble before, in fact, she's never even cooked a whole chick-hen before! (Don't tell her I said this, but I think Jasmine is not very interested in, or good at, cooking) So, we were all pretty happy when the gobble gobble turned out so well! Just look at it's deliciousness! I am so purroud of Jasmine!


Jasmine and Peter like vege-bles too, so they loaded up the gobble gobble tray with lots of veges: potato, sweet potato, garlic, broccoli, onion, tomato, brussel sprouts, mushrooms and carrot. They also had sides of asparagus and garlic mashy 'tato.

Of course I had to snoopervise the whole production, because I'm a poodin, but also because I'm a 'Mericky poodin, so I know lots more 'bout Thanksgiving than my Australian foster beans. Here I am giving a final approval of the gobble gobble. Shortly after this, Jasmine put some gobble gobble in my bowl and we all had a furry nice Thanksgiving dinner. Jasmine also blew out the candles 'cos she was worried I might want to play with them (she just thought they would look pretty in the picture).


I'd also like to mention some things I'm thankful for:

• I'm furry, furry thankful for the SPCA and the Vet Hospital who saved my life. I would be at the Rainbow Bridge now if not for these good beans.
• I'm also furry thankful that I have furry nice foster beans to look after me till I find my forever home. They give me food and treats and nice warm comfy places to nap, and more toys than I've ever seen in my whole life!

Purrs to efurryone!

I've been a little bit naughty

I've been a little bit naughty this weekend. I did two bad things. :/

Yesterday I was climbing all over the beans when they were in bed. They didn't mind this because they weren't sleeping yet. Peter was reading a book and Jasmine was reading poodin blogs on her laptop.

I had been reading poodin blogs with Jasmine, but then I decided it was time to play, so I started jumping around the bed. In the process of the jumping, I jumped onto Peter's head and accidentally scratched a big scratch on his cheek. It's not a deep scratch, but it is also not a short scratch. He was not furry happy with me. I'm sorry, Peter! I didn't mean to hurt you!


The other naughty thing I did involved Jasmine's necklaces. Jasmine has lots of furry pretty necklaces, and she has some of them hanging on a stand on the bedside table. They are so pretty and girly and I couldn't resist checking them out. I am a furry pretty little girl (that's what everyone tells me), so I thought the necklaces might look good on me. I tried to pull some off to try them on, and I accidentally knocked the stand over. It fell onto the floor and all the necklaces fell too and kinda got tangled up on the floor. I'm sorry, Jasmine! I didn't mean to! I just wanted to try them on and see how they looked with my pretty furs!

I don't think Jasmine is too worried 'bout the necklaces. She said they are 'costume jewellery' and 'not real'. Jasmine 'splained that this means that although they are pretty, they do not cost lots and lots of green papers. Also, I overheard Jasmine say to Peter that she's surprised I didn't knock them over ages ago because pretty dangly things are extremely enticing to kitties. So, I think this means that I'm not naughty for knocking them over today, I'm actually really good for leaving them alone for the past few months!
