Our First Meme

Grrreta tagged us for the Six Unspectacular Quirks Meme. We've seen other cats do this, but we're just guessing our way along here, so bear with us.

Meme Rules:
*Link to the one who tagged you.
*List the rules on your blog.
*Tell about 6 unspectacular quirks of yours.
*Tag 4 more bloggers.

1. Thomas has a funny quirk when he comes in the house. He always rolls on the driveway first (Crazy Lady says that's so he'll be sure to bring in lots of pollen and dirt!), then he walks around the post to the bird house that sits right outside the door, then he winds between the legs of the table that sits beside the door, then he comes inside. Crazy Lady sometimes complains that that is too much of a production when she's in a hurry.

2. Phoebe sometimes roams the house in the middle of the night moaning. Behind her back, we call her Moaning Myrtle!! She starts off in the playroom (farthest place away from the master bedroom), then she works her way through the house just softly meowing. When she gets to the bottom of the stairs, Crazy Lady calls out to her and says, "We're all up here. Come join us." Then Phoebe meows her way up the stairs and gets in bed and Crazy Lady scritches her for a while and everything is okay.

3. Trixie likes to sleep on noisy things. We suspect it may be because she was all by herself in a parking lot for at least a couple of days, maybe longer, when she was 6 weeks old. That's where Crazy Lady found her. Anyway, she loves to sleep on crinkly paper or a good ole noisy plastic bag. Maybe that was to warn her if anything got too close.

4. Thomas is often called Kramer around here. Do you remember how Kramer on the Seinfeld Show used to come bungling into a room all crazy and loud and then would just stop and look around. Well, that's Tom when he runs upstairs and jumps on the bed with Crazy Lady and D.C.

5. Phoebe really hates to have the flea treatment put on her neck!!! You would think it was 4 gallons, not 4 drops and that it burned like heck. She puts up such a fight and then stays away from everybody for days afterwards.

6. Trixie talks ALL THE TIME!!! Thomas and Phoebe used to be very quiet cats until Trixie came along and now they talk a lot, too. Just to get a word in occasionally! D.C. says that Trixie talks almost as much as Crazy Lady (which Crazy Lady doesn't think is very funny).

We are tagging Daisy The Curly Cat, Jasper McKitten-Cat, Dennis Loves You and Poppy Q to do this meme next because we would like to learn more about them.

You did a great job on your first Meme. The Kramer one is funny. Sometimes when I am trying to get into stuff I walk all around crying and crying, but usually I am pretty quiet.

Thanks for tagging me! I am a very bad cat, and I have not done any Memes in a LONG time. I will try my hardest though!

Poppy Q said...

Hi guys, thanks for the tag. My mum and I are away for a few days so we might not be able to do ours til we get back.

Have a great weekend.

Those are some very cute quirks. The one where Thomas comes bungling into a room like Kramer is really funny.

Hey, thanks for stopping by. It's nice to meet you.

Jan thinks we're strange too but pay humans no mind.
