The Acatemy Awards - Our Movie

Our friend Fin, who comes up with some of the most fun games and themes for the cat blogosphere to enjoy, is holding The Acatemy Awards this week. We're just squeaking in with an entry. Unfortunately, The Mommy was pretty useless at coming up with something creative, so what we have is this lame-o 'movie' entry.

Oh, the video is cute enough...just not necessarily Oscar-worthy. The Mommy keeps mumbling something about 'running out of time' and 'getting ready for vacation' (what IS that v-word she keeps talking about?) and 'too much work to do' but we think she's just lazy! This isn't going to look good on your Purrfurmance Review this year, missy.

So anyway, without further ado, we present to you: Pixie and Ziggy starring in...Fight Night.






Breaking news flash! After seeing some Acatemy Award entries out there in the bloggie-o-sphere earlier in the week, we were able to be a little more creative and memorialize some past acting efforts in movie posters never before seen!

First up, we have Bugsy, from his starring role in X-Men: Origins, back in the day before he lost an eye. It was an important role for such a young mancat!

Then, we have Ziggy with role in Quantum of Solace. Watch out, Ziggy, that fire is hot and dangerous!

Next, we have Roxy as a young girlkittencat in Tomb Raider. Even as a youngster, she was quite adventurous.

And finally, Ziggy dreams of the Oscar statute and being on stage to accept his Best Actor award.

We hope you enjoyed our movie and movie posters!

Tortie Tuesday

Hi peoples! Time again for Tortie Tuesday. Today, I'm going to show off my biscuit-making skills - something every self-respecting tortie (and, really, every self-respecting kitty of any brand) should know.

The secret, as I show here in my how-to video, is lowering your head as you work so you can not only get your shoulders into it as you go, but also so you're in perfect position for a nap when you're done!

See how easy it is? Try it once or twice, and in no time, you too will be making biscuits like a pro!

Gotta go, it's time for me to make a few more biscuits now...

Bye peoples!

Mancat Monday

Hi peoples! Happy Monday, and Happy Labor Day to those in the U.S. (and Happy Labour Day to those in Canada...any other holidays out there today?).

You know, we have all sorts of toys here at The Kitty Krew -- The Mommy spoils us shamelessly, we'll give her full credit there -- and in fact we just got in some new ones late last week (reports coming soon!). But when I crawl in her lap for some one-on-one cuddle time and she insists on pulling out the flashy box thing, I just can't resist playing with the strap hanging down from it. It's great fun. Here's a short movie so you can see what I'm talkin' about:



We hope you kitties had a great weekend, and those of you with beans that have a 3-day weekend with the day off today, enjoy that extra day with them!

Bye peoples!

Saturday Movie Review

The Great Outdoors, by The Kitty Krew

It was a beautiful early evening here at The Kitty Krew Headquarters yesterday, a little cooler than it has been (which means low 90s or maybe even high 80s by the time she got home, instead of high 90s or low 100s) with low humidity and a nice breeze, and The Mommy got home from that work place thing a little earlier than normal, and that all added up to an hour outside after she got home! Yayness!

She took some movies in addition to the usual eleventy million zillion photos with the flashy box thing, so here we are posting some again. The first one has Bugsy and Sassy, the second one is all Pixie, and the third is mostly Callie with a little Roxy. They're not all that exciting, and they're 3 minutes each which we know is a lot of time to spend at one bloggie for those of you with lots of blogs to visit and little time to do it all, so we'll understand if you don't have time to watch them all. But we also know that sometimes it's just fun to see moving kitties for a change (we know we like to). There's also not much soundtrack, a little of Bugsy meowing in his, and The Mommy talks a little but not much, and some dogs down the street barking a little -- but there's a lot of wind blowing across the microphone in the last two (sorry) so you may just wanna turn the sound down/off.

And with that, here we go! This is Bugsy to start with, and Sassy comes along:



This one is all Pixie:



This one has Callie and some Roxy (the lighting/video is a little wonky on this one, The Mommy lightened it so you can see Callie better when she explores in the bushes, and it affected the beginning especially a little weirdly):



Hope you enjoyed them a little bit! We sure enjoyed our time outside, it was a great evening to be out there.

Monday Mancats

Happy Monday, peoples! After chillin' most of the weekend, we plan on doing more of the same today. The Mommy has to go back to that "work" thing, poor dear. She really dislikes Mondays. We miss having her around to wait on us frontpaw and backpaw, but then again, it's kinda nice not to have the flashy box thing in our faces all the time.

Both the mancats wanted to have their say this week, so without further ado, let's let it roll.

Bugsy: I wanted to thank Ann at Zoolatry for making me this very nice Get Well graphic! It just appeared in our mailbox yesterday morning, we had no idea she was doing it. Isn't it adorable? My first pirate appearance!


But the bowtie makes it so much more. Thanks Ann!!

Pixie: All right, all right, now that we got the mushy stuff out of the way, let's get down to the real entertainment. The Mommy got her movie box thingy going again yesterday, and managed to catch a couple of rather amusing vignettes (how's that for a big word for a little kitty?) starring moi.

This first one is a little grainy, 'cause she had to lighten it enough to be able to distinguish me from the dark background; she was also holding the movie box thingy at an angle where she couldn't see the screen while it was recording, so sometimes it doesn't show everything just perfect...but she did a pretty good job for all that (even if she does type so herself ).



So in case you still couldn't tell what was going on, first I was making biscuits on her belly, then after I laid down and she moved the movie box thingy to the other side, I started grabbing at the strap hanging down from the thingy and chewing on it...and even batted at the thingy itself a couple of times! Teehee!

Now this second one has better lighting, we were sitting in sunbeams inside.



All sorts of fun going on! Heeheehee.

We hope everyone has a great Monday to start off the week right!
