Percy's Real New Hat

Okay, Jan says I have to stop trying to pull everyone's leg with that photo of my big head and that tiny cap.

Momo kitty really didn't like that photo. She said the hat was too small and I should have Jan sew on flaps - um, straps.

Well, Jan read our back and forth comments and yelled, "Perseverance!" She always calls me by my full name when I'm in trouble. I seem to be in trouble a lot lately. But it's nice to know I'm loved. Otherwise Jan wouldn't get upset with me.

I want to go to Sassy's party Tuesday, so I'm posting a picture showing how the hat actually looks on my head. I wanted to surprise everyone but if I don't apologize to Momo and post a real photo, the surprise might be that I'm not at the party - with or without my new hat.

Momo, I'm sorry for kidding about using a wad of chewing gum to keep the tiny hat on. Perhaps you'll like this photo better.

I think it looks best on me with one ear sticking out, don't you?

Percy's New Hat

Whoopee! I'm going to Sassy's CCSI cast and crew party Tuesday night! I'm so excited.

I wasn't going to ask Jan until tomorrow - we're all grounded for the weekend, remember, because I was late coming home the other night. My brothers and sisters sneaked me inside where I promptly fell asleep. Jan didn't know I was home and she thought I was still missing.

So I've been laying low. Really low! On my best behavior. No using the couch as a scratching post. No standing inside the pan and peeing outside it. No playing golf with my food.

And I guess Jan noticed. She went shopping this afternoon and came home with a present for me to wear to Sassy's cast and crew party Tuesday night. I didn't even know she was aware of the party yet. Perhaps she read Sassy's invitation on Sassy Tales.

So, what do you think of my new cap? Yes, I know it appears a little small on my mancat-size head, but it looks jaunty, don't you think? I like it.

Thanks Jan! I'll try to bring a treat home for all the Funny Farm residents, like Cotton did from Miss Peach's tea party.

Percy,

2007 Playboy Bunny Calendar

Yes, we know it is already December and we're just getting around to viewing and posting the 2007 Playboy Bunny Calendar. But if you haven't already seen it, it's a must-view.

Take a deep breath and ... voila. Just click on pictures to enlarge for better viewing.

Okay, I've heard from folks who can't view the photos. I heard from one that the phtos can be viewed but not enlarged. I checked Google Web Albums and the photos are gone - poof. So how I or anyone else is able to view them is beyond me. I am replacing the photos. Hope Blogger lets me. It's a fun calendar.





































We hate it when people remove identifying information from photos and stories. Does anyone know who created this calendar so we can give credit?

Percy Is Home

The good news is that Percy is home. The bad news is that he was home when he was missing.

How can that be?

Jan searched the net for him, contacting as many of his new friends as she could, leaving messages for him to call home.

Gemini of Chey's Place (page closed) left this message: Je pense, je voir Percy au Paris!

Sassy mentioned in her story, "Cast Missing," Parts I and II, she'd heard the cast was in Paris, but she thought they were safe and on their way home. So was Percy actually in Paris?

This morning we found a post over at topcatrules. Trixie wrote, But we left ya all text messages on your phones!

We responded, We didn't get the text message you left. Jan is ready to ground Percy FOR LIFE. She hasn't slept a wink ALL NIGHT. Okay, she did snore for 5 or 6 hours, but she didn't sleep a wink!

This morning Jan looked sad when she saw Percy's untouched dinner sitting on the counter. She gathered up our dishes to dispense a late (very late) breakfast. She handed them out automatically, her mind on Percy, and she ended up one bowl short.

You guessed it. Percy, yawning and stretching as if he had just awakened, was waiting in line for his brunch. Jan grabbed him up, hugged him tight, put him down and lit into him, yelling, "You're grounded for life!" (She didn't really mean that, you know.)

We held back as long as we possibly could, then we all began to laugh. Except Percy. His ears hurt. Jan was speechless for a moment. Then she caught on and we had to fess up.

Yep, you guessed it. Percy arrived late and tapped on a window. When Jan was in the kitchen washing dishes, Buddy unlocked the front door and let Percy inside. He was cold and exhausted. He crawled onto Merci's favorite pillow under the short table and was asleep within seconds. We all hoped Jan would forget the incident by morning. But no, first thing, she was back on the net looking for him.

Jan decided not to ground Percy for life, only for this weekend. Actually, we're all grounded. But she doesn't want to ruin the CCSI production this close to the premier, so Percy will report for rehearsal first thing Monday morning.

Be sure to put December 14 on your calendar. CCSI's "The Santa Caper" will be bigger and better than the last production.

Starring Percy as elf Pepper Minstix. Okay, maybe not starring, but he's a star to us at Jan's Funny Farm!
