It seems it is going to be raining all weekend, so there is not much sense in going outside, I going to get all wet.

However, I win puppet for Bean from Pikapet and it come yesterday so we have puppet to play with today.



We play with it last night too. It smell like plush brothers, but it MOve! It try to lick me! It also try to smell me! Very strange! Plush brothers don't usually move around unless you push them. However, they are best kind of fur syblings to have because the do not steal your food, use your litterbox, or take over the lap when you are not looking.

Puppet also come with special toy for me:







This almost makes up for the fact that Bean will not let me play with paper she is using to wrap present up for sister. She not like her sister, so I don't know why she buy her present, even if it is her birthday. I think she should buy me treats instead. Especially after I win her nice puppet.

I also win this nice bag with me on it for Bean from pikapet:



It hard work looking cute enough to win contests to win points to win auction to win prizes, so I think I deserve special treats for all this winning I do.

She has to go out in wet to go to post office and box office (is that where they sell boxes?) so hopefully she will stop at Pet Supermarket and bring me back something special for being such a good cat-cat.

Otherwise, I have just been hanging 'round Bean and supervising her work. Don't want her slacking off when she has things she need to do, like clean litter box.

I hope you all have good weekend. Don't get wet!

Well needless to say, Bean felt the need to dress meow up for the festive occassion of Meow Like a Pirate Day. You may find more pictures of Meow dressed like a pirate in my Dress Up gallery. Being part pirate herself, she is of course very familier with Talk Like a Pirate Day, which she will sometimes do at other times during the year as well.



Cape Coral, where we live, has a history of pirating in the surrounding island waters, with Black Ceasar being active in the Pine Island, Marco Island, Elliot Key and Sanibel Island area back in the earlie 1800's. Bean already celebrate Pirate Night on her blog earlier this year. They also have annual Pirate festival which run for weekend sometime in February or March every year.

While most felines have an aversion to water, they do make great sailors. They are better for sea voyages than dogs, because they do not need to be walked. Felines have traveled the globe on ships, both current and in history and of course, there were those cats that became pirates as well.

Here is a brief run down of some of the more famous feline Pirates:

Blueboy - A Tonkanese that was known as the scourage of the carribean, rats would rather sink on a ship than jump onto Blueboy's. He so loved to play with his food. When he wasn't ratting, he was busy making kittns. Most cats in Carribean Islands can trace their roots back to this profilic Tom Cat.

Blackie Bart - This feline perhaps the most successful pirate of all time, with the capture of over 400 rats and over 50 pounds of loot.

Annie Boney - She stole a sloop and was just as apt as fighting rats as any tom. She especially liked to attach fishing vessels and steal their catches.

Merry Red - A friend of Annie Boney, she once fought a duel with a Tom that threatened her mate.

Calico Jacque - The queen was known more for her brightly colored coat and her numerous kittens than she was as a pirate. She got more of a reputation hanging around Merry Red and Annie Boney than she did on her own.

Basic Feline to Pirate Translator:

<table border="0"><tbody><tr><th>Feline</th><th>Pirate</th><th >What it means</th></tr><tr><td>Meow!</td><td>Ahoy!</td><td>&quo t;Hello!"</td></tr><tr><td>Meow!</td><td>Avast!</t d><td>Stop and give attention. It can be used in a sense of surprise, "Whoa! Get a load of that!" which today makes it more of a "Check it out" or "No way!" or "Get off!"</td></tr><tr><td>Meow!</td><td>Aye!</td><td> "Why yes, I agree most heartily with everything you just said or did."</td></tr><tr><td>Meow!</td><td>Aye aye!</td><td>"I'll get right on that sir, as soon as my break is over."</td></tr><tr><td>Meow!</td><td>Arrr!</td><td>Thi s one is often confused with arrrgh, which is of course the sound you make when you sit on a belaying pin. "Arrr!" can mean, variously, "yes," "I agree," "I'm happy," "I'm enjoying this beer," "My team is going to win it all," "I saw that television show, it sucked!" and "That was a clever remark you or I just made." And those are just a few of the myriad possibilities of Arrr!</td></tr></tbody></table>

Coming up next...Drink Blood like a Vampire night!

Tomorrow is Meow like a Pirate Day. I find this out on Cat Blogsphere which is place where you can go and have your blog re-purrr-ted so that other cats all over the world can read it. I'm afraid this means that Bean will want to dress me up tonight though so she can have pictures. Maybe I hide in my little tent, so she cannot do this. I hate it when she want to dress me up.

When she was little her grandmother have Chihuahua dog which always try to bite her and so she not like Chihuahua's much now. Later when she get older she find out dog not like her because she used to dress it up in doll clothes. That would expain it. I think her parents should have told her that was wrong though and not let her do it. But they think it cute. How stupid. I would hope she would know better but....Oh well.

In other exciting news, I get Bean to buy me Xanga premium so I can get rid of advertisements on my blog and so that I can have special module so I can add links and and stuff. Also, picture of Bean's old Bulldog - Samson - get featured as one of Xanga's photos of the day. That was nice and unexpected.

I also get Blogger account so that I can reply to the cats that blog on Blogger. I will not blog there, but I put my links to my blog and to my profile pags so that my cat furrrriends can find me. I hope that some of the felines that sign up for Xanga so they can leave me messages will do same thing, so I can find their blogs.

The little tail grabbers are gone but they leave me artwork, which I put up in Artworks album at Xanga. They leave me more colorings, but Bean has been hogging scanner. Puuurrrhaps I will get to put them up tonight. The trade off was that I would put the colorings on my blog if they would not try to include me in their arts projects. That way I not get glitter glue all over my furs!

Anyway, get ready to Meow like a Pirate tomorrow!
