Hi RED!

(I have to be careful not to call you this on other clubs...cuz it's so tempting!!!) Anyway...

"Lucky Boy" is the FUNNIEST CAT! If we think FANGY is cute...MAN. This one takes the cake! He does so many weird things!

Fangy...well...he is very serious about winning in Scrabble. He stares and figures people out. Hes the silent type. (I adore him!)

LUCKY BOY is OUT THERE and SILLY. I hope all of you will love him someday as much as FANGY!

* * *

Actually this picture was taken before Labor Day...just in case you were worried about my fashion sense. Ha! (They are newer shoes...sadly they still knocked him out! I am PRETENDING it's because he smelled HIGH ADVENTURE! Ha!)

Yan know, sis, right after I clicked "send", it dawned on me that you were wearing white shoes after labor day!! Glad you cleared that up for me.
No worries on calling me Red...although I'm not a true redhead (I have a ton on red highlites and undertones if you discount all the gryey), I've been nicknamed that for years!

I'm sure Lucky Boy is a hoot! All kitties have such distinct personalities. I personally have 3 kitties and it's so funny to see the differences in them. I have to say that our baby, Prudence (the black and white one) is hands down the weirdest cat we've ever had but she's so dang cute!!!

Yes. I can relate to the grey hairs idea. Not long ago someone said "Laura, do you color your hair because I don't see any gre" and I said "Nope. I'm just lucky so far." THAT WEEK I actually PAYED ATTENTION while I was brushing and combing and OM GOSH! I have tons of it. Most of it is lurking in the underbrush waiting to make it's appearance! Ha!

I hope we get to meet Prudence on the club walls soon!!! She sounds like she would fit right in! Ha! (We have 3 also).

From your beach shot I thought you were a blond but you nick named yourself as red headed step-c so I looked again and could see the highlights!!! :) My sister has brown with red and I used to. Read paragraph one again to see what my new highlights seem to be Ha! Hugs back :) -Laura #6734012

Vicki L. Filippin November 10, 2008

I only called myself the red-headed-step-child cuz it's more of a joke that they are the one's that no one admits to having in the family and are outcasts! hehe

Admittedly, I have changed my color to a lighter shade of blonde, but my natural highlites bring out a bit of red which I like.
I tell people that my GREY highlites are the intentional changes I make! LOL

As far as Prudence, I have several images of her in my gallery, but I did take some funny ones of her right before I left for FLA...I'll have to pull them out and put on the club. #6734951

Laura E. Swan level-classic November 10, 2008

Cool! Cant wait! xx #6734963

Laura E. Swan level-classic November 12, 2008

Hey- Don't you have a scrabble playing hamster? #6747888

Vicki L. Filippin November 13, 2008

Yes, yes I do!
....and he kept me up all night running on his treadmill!
UGH!
I'm trying to get my kitchen painted and decorated in time for Thanksgiving. Hopefully in a few days I'll be able to play a game of scrabble with Charlie and hide the camera on my lap so he doesn't know I have it. He's a bit camera shy. #6749235

Laura E. Swan level-classic November 13, 2008

Too cute! We will all get a big kick out of meeting him. Maybe he'll pick up a tile in his teeth if you spread a little CHEEZE WHIZ on it! Ha! (Humm...on second thought he might try to put it in his pouch and you'll have a lot of explaining to do at the VET!) -Laura #6750420

Vicki L. Filippin November 13, 2008

LOL!
Yeah, that could get a bit complicated for everyone involved!! #6750576

Irene Colling level-classic November 14, 2008

What's wrong with WHITE shoes after Labor Day? I don't want to wear black shoes with my WHITE pants and PASTEL shirt.

Funny cat Laura, he looks totally comfortable there. #6756000

Laura E. Swan level-classic November 14, 2008

Hi Ladies!

You guys always make me smile. Well, Irene...(Vicki should we tell her?) Uh...Hum. Well...

NOTHING. There's NOTHING wrong with it and you are right. What a FOPAH it would be wearing black shoes with spring colors. My WORD. What WAS I thinking??? Ha!

* * *

So may I introduce to you:

"LUCKY BOY SWAN". He's our oldest and boldest. He wont stand for games of scrabble. He is the disciplinarian and is always busy setting down the RULES of his ROOST for Fangy and Pookey.

He runs a tight ship...unless he's "off duty" and getting -high- off of the cheap glue smell in my shoes! Ha! -Laura

Laura E. Swan level-classic December 23, 2009

Hi Sis! I thought this one would be Purr-fect for your new club! I joined last night...

I'm so glad you allowed ALL critters because I dont have ONE doggie on file!

Thanks for inviting me. I know it will be lots of fun! :D

Yes...Lucky considers my cheap shoes a CHEAP HIGH! HA! He honestly loves to fall asleep smelling them.

He ESPECIALLY loves smelling the 5 dollar tennis shoes from the big WAL MART store. Silly cat!

Love, Little Sis #8241844

Kirsten Kiki Kjaer May 16, 2010

HAHA!! This is very funny, SSSLala! There's nothing like a kitty to put smiles on our faces, is there? They do do crazy things. Thanks for sharing this, Sis. #8614531

Hope it wasn't the oder that knocked him out LOL! Made me laugh #8616722

Laura E. Swan level-classic May 17, 2010

HA! Yah! It's the odor he likes for sure! To tell you the truth of the matter he is a glue whiffer. His favorites are the cheapy tennis shoes from Walmart that cost 7 dollars. He cant get enough. Face goes in and doesn't come out! He's SUCH a funny cat!

He really was asleep in this one!!!

Thanks for you for your comments guys! HE also loves the smell of nicotine. When my sister used to smoke he loved the smell of her boxes and letters that would arrive here through he mail!
