Meow Meow Purr!!!!

This Cat is
Automatic, su-purr-sonic, hypnotic, frisky fresh
Work my body, so furr-odic, this purr rolls right through my chest
Everybody, cat and kitty, came to party
Grab somebody,work ya body, work ya body
Let me see you meow meow purr.

Rock it, Don't Stop it
Everybody play on the floor
Bat the fuzzy ball
We about to chase the bell
Let me see you meow meow purr
I love it when you meow meow purr
Everybody meow meow purr
We just love to purr

Catnip is
Outrageous, so contagious, make you crave it
kittens made it
My furr's been parted since the day I started
Strut my stuff and yes I flaunt it
Little mousies I pounce on em
No I can't control myself
Now let me do my meow meow purr

There you have my long awaited cover, which I have been dancing to on a pretty regular basis everyday except the ones I spent sidelined after surgery. Its the first time in my young kittenish life that I have ever really felt that Barry Bonds was anything but a boldfaced liar. I mean, I still don't get how the man can be layed up for a year after knee surgery, but I understand how hard that recovery period can be. Today was the first time I really scampered along the kitchen floor and pounced on the rug sending both this fluffers and aforementioned rug skittering into the cabinets.

Anyway, just wanted to share the tune for the moment. You can imagine how addictive it is, I may have to make a music video so I can show off my meowy purry goodness to the world. When I execute the back paw front paw crossover shuffle change, you would swear I am like Mikcat Barishnakov or something.

Purr,

Hippo

Pretty Kitty Back in Business!

So as a cat who cares whole-purr-edly about her fans, I thought it would be-paw me to let everyone know that I have survived the past few days and the surgery they have entailed. I'm a little tired, and a little more hesitant to purr, and Is seem to have four stitches on my pretty kitty tummy that are blue and I would really like to lick every second that I am not cat napping, but Baxter and Katie are just not allowing that to happen. Sad, really, since I do enjoy cleaning myself so much. The only thing that really irks me at this point is that I have this baby outfit that Baxter and Katie make me wear when I get to licking my tummy too much in earnest, and I look absolutely ridiculous in it. I managed to get it off one time while Katie and Baxter were at the mall, but then they put it back on.

But since I care more about attention than much of anything else, I figured I would post a couple of the best photos of me in my new outfit.

and, since I haven't posted in a while, I thought I would include a couple of photos that were from before my surgery, but show my near-purrfect beauty in its full form.

ready for my closeup!

Sunday Morning for the Hippo-Bear

Meow!

I know that it has been forever since this pretty kitty updated, but I have been both busy and seething in anger at the unfairness of www.kittenwar.com! I recognize that this site is awesome and addicting; who wouldn't like looking at kittens all day long? But from my time spent meowing and clicking on their website, I have noticed a pernicious problem of rampant discrimination against persian kitties. As a persian afficionado, I obviously noted the beautiful flat faced cats available for my purr-usal, and voted for them as often as possible. However, when I did, I would note that even the most fur-ocious and purr-fect of Persians would fall victim to fat cats, ugly cats, hiding cats, as long as they were not Persian! How can we live in the twenty-first century and still allow this travesty to purr-petuate itself? I declare, affirmative action for Persians!

Luckily for my adoring fans out there, I have a few new photos of my meow-tiful self to share. I have an online photo album somewhere; maybe Katie or Baxter will share it at some point. I would also like to note that I was subjected to the ridiculousness of a bath yesterday, which was purr-fectly AWFUL, but now my fur is lush and soft. At least there was only one casualty - I got a good scratch in on Katie's face. Baxter escaped unharmed.

Onto the photos!


this is me in a bag in Baxter's office, chilling while he worked on his orals. Luckily he passed or I might still be there for moral support.


This is how I look after attacking the canopy. It is not one of my better facial pictures, but it gives you a sense of my fur-ocious nature.


This is me on top of my new cat condo! It is very fun, and I especially enjoy convincing Katie and Baxter that I scratch it and not the couch when it is clear that the couch is very dear to my claws.


Inside the cat condo. I love the view.


I am posing here on my favorite bedspread, the quilt Katie and Baxter got as a wedding present. It is on the bed all of the time and I enjoy posing with such bright colors.


this is me on my stool. Katie sometimes uses it to reach things up high in the kitchen, but obviously it belongs to me. I was stretched out here between it and the laundry basket.


and finally, me taking a nap in the laundry. Obviously BEFORE I had the bath that left me soft and sparkling. But I am purr-fect all the same.

Hippo Rox!

so since i figured that i have some fans out here in the Hippoverse, I am making my first fur-ray intp fashion modelling. Persian cats, as you know, are by far the most beautiful specimens of kittens available, so I thought i would enter myself into a little contest to verify this truth. So Vote For ME!!!!! http://kittenwar.com/kittens/3045/ - it has to be approved by a moderator, so if you go tonight, you might not get to see my kitty beautifulness, but you should check back until it's possible!

Pretty kitty signing out!

Purr, Hippo

congrat-purr-lations! (or, an email sent to Baxter upon completion of his Master's Degree)

Meow,
Katie just purred that you had passed your orals, so I wanted to send
a hearty meow-ra! I'm purr-sitive that it was my cat-like brilliance
in napping on your books that helped you to vict-meow-ry, so I will
expect payment in those delectable xs and os as soon as you get home.
I heard you might be taking a va-cat-ion soon, so I thought perhaps we
could catnap together while watching Desperate Housecats - it' a new
favorite of mine.

Purrs and Kisses,
Your Baby Cat Hippo

PS - I was so happy I even snorted once or twice!
