almost 100%

tomas says: i'm perfectly healthy again... well, aside from the usual asthma crap. but my breathing isn't too bad today.

tenzin says: yesterday at lunchtime i suddenly realized i'd skipped breakfast and was ravenous and i've been eating whenever food has been put in front of my face (which, of course, isn't enough, but...) my face is still a bit puffy, which is what happens when i'm not feeling all that well. if i can just get it to stay this way for another 24 hours, then maybe mom will stay home and not go to paris. ... paws crossed!

a bit under the weather

tomas says:

yeah, at about 5:30 this morning i felt like hell. my stomach was killing me and i was desperate for the loo. so i went into my hooded toilet and was there ages. i won't describe to you what that was like. but suffice it to say that my little brother got out of bed to see what was going on. and then mom got up and followed me around, trying to look at my ass. which wasn't too bad, really.

i'm still not 100% but i'm not too bad, thanks.

oh, and you may wonder what brought this on...?

i did have a bit of a melon binge yesterday and especially late last night when i snuck into the kitchen and ate the remnants of melon off the counter... it was really mean of my parents not to put it in an easier place for me...

tenzin says:

yuck. the smell of what was going on so early this morning put me RIGHT off my food. when dad called me down to breakfast (something he normally wouldn't have to do, as i follow with great interest any morning movements down the stairs) i didn't even want to go down there. but eventually i did but i couldn't eat a thing. still can't eat anything and it's almost time for lunch! i don't know what it is really, but i'm behaving pretty normally: chasing butterflies in the garden, watching birds out the window, going to my mom for cuddles.

oh well. life really sucks when you're not really super hungry.

copa america results

okay. basically: we, cats, beat the humans. that's the main thing.

Tenzin won by picking 10 'round-outcomes' accurately.
Tomas 9.
Dad 8.
Mom 7.

If you go by individual games:
Tenzin 12
Tomas 11
Mom 9
Dad 8

Of course, Mom prefers those results.

emaciated... starving.

basically, mom and dad don't get how skinny we've become and THAT'S why we're always begging for food!

tomas is just 10 pounds!
and tenzin is just 12 pounds!

the vet said for tomas never to go above 12 pounds and tenzin is a bigger cat than tomas!

mom can't blame it on the scales because it shows her to be a porker (even though she claims her trousers are falling off her hips)... besides, she was taking the measurement with our weight with hers minus her weight alone.

so, we're starting an e-mail campaign, asking you to PLEASE e-mail our mom and dad telling them to feed us more food and more frequently.

thanks.

official country bumpkins

yes, today we became official country bumpkins...

we each took shits in the garden.

(tomas says: of course, tenzin never covers his up, so i had to do it for him.)

ah, yes. we're living the good life... one year on in england...

copa america

our dad helped us pick our favorites for this new footy tournament:

group a:
we both want colombia because our grandfather is colombian
we both want peru because there's a lion in their badge

group b:
we both want uruguay because there's a lion in their badge, plus tenzin likes them because they play in blue
tenzin wants argentina for the same reason, tomas wants mexico because he's from new mexico

group c:
we both want brazil because we like to samba
tenzin wants costa rica because san jose is an anagram of aj's nose and so it's a tribute to dad
tomas wants chile because it sounds like chilly and he's a forest cat

tenzin's birthday present

Yep, today's my seventh birthday! And guess what I got?

I BEAT MY MOM AND DAD AND BROTHER IN THIS ROUND OF THE EURO2004!!!!!!!

That is a pretty cool birthday present... and quite unexpected, really! :)
