We have decided to start a weekly segment on our blog called Furry Fridays. We have met lots of different furry creatures on our travels, and decided they can be just as interesting as your run of the mill travel photos. So, each Friday you can expect to lay your eyes on one of our new furry friends, complete with a little biographical story about them.
For our first installment we have decided to feature our own cats. We have not met them during our trip but they are always on our minds… (Well at least mine! I don’t know about Scott…)
Name: Charlie Vanderlee (from the TV show Party of Five)
From: Russia
Most Prized Possession: EEKS the mouse catnip toy by Kitty Hoots (except he keeps magically loosing them… maybe under the fridge?) He likes to lick EEKS for hours and get high.
Favorite Hobby: Licking plastic bags that drives us crazy. The sound is so annoying! sluurriick. sluuriick. ugh
Favorite Place: On someone’s lap, in front of the fire, or on my pillow while I’m sleeping
Three Random Facts:
1. We suspect he punched his brother in the eye to be sure we picked him at the adoption center. It came down to a lazy eyed kitten or one who jumped up our leg.
2. After getting some major dental work he turned into the biggest suck in all the lands. Look at that photo above!
3. He can’t meow very well and when he tries its almost like a broken squeaky horn. It’s actually quite pathetic and we make fun of him when he does it. It may be why he doesn’t meow much!
Name: Kerrigan Vanderlee (named after Kerrigan the Queen of Blades from the game Starcraft)
From: Not from this world (see picture below for proof)
Most Prized Possession: A stretchy string we specifically went to Home Depot to get for her. You’d think it was the purest smack in all the land the way she takes care of it.
Favorite Hobby: Chittering at the reflections on the ceiling or the birds outside the window
Favorite Place: On top of a blanket (as seen in photo)
Three Random Facts:
1. She drools when your pet her while she is sitting on your lap
2. We think she is on a diet as she refuses to eat any cat treats, and sometimes she purges her food. Very conscious about her weight.
3. She is very talkative and loves to let you know how her day went, and likes to put Scott in his place when we are arguing. (she is always on my side)
And this is our cats at night. Beware they have laser eyes that scan your thoughts and turn you into their slaves! Seriously we think they’re out to get us sometimes.
Check back next friday for our second Furry Friday installment!
Just incase you were wondering this is my favorite post so far. I know this was your idea Dee, I can’t help but think Scott’s favorite part of the trip is being AWAY from those cats. lol.
can’t wait for next Friday. You will be SUPER busy keeping track of all the Europe cats.
Just a side note. Pamplemousse has always wanted to be a star.
Whoa, cats with friggin’ lazer beams on their heads!
I really miss you guys. I really miss your cats as well.
@Lair… well at least it’s not only just me that misses them!! Much love to you, Melanie and the Quinn! You will see us again before you know it!
We still don’t know how we managed to capture their alien lazer eye thoughts, but we did! There wasn’t even a flash… but when Charlie was young he did look like a little alien with a huge head and tiny body when I pulled his ears back to his head :>
super cute idea for a post on a travel blog. i am looking forward to more and am jazzed that you guys liked jamie oliver’s restaurants! it would have broken my heart if he hadn’t lived up to his rep.
happy travels!
Jenni, glad to hear you like our furry friday! And Jamie Oliver is awesome, have you eaten at one of his places before?
Don’t forget D.C.
There’s no pics of DC around!
i haven’t had the chance to try one of jamie’s restaurants but have watched his show’s (naked chef, pukka tukka, ministry of food) and used his cookbooks for years.
