Memes Monday...into Tuesday.

Brrrr! It's toooooooooo cold today! It was -49 deg C with the windchill this morning, so Donny and I made sure to curl up together and glue ourselves to mommy for warmth! Hehehe....

Anyways, a few days ago, Donny's sensei tagged us with the Nickname Meme. This is how it works:

~Post a link to the kitty who tagged you, and post the rules on your blog.

~List your real name, how you got your real name, nicknames you like/tolerate, and nicknames you wish your humans would stop calling you.

~Tag several kitties, and write a comment on their blog to let them know they have been tagged

Cool! So Donny started first:

Real Name: Donny the Astrokitty

How I got my Real Name: I was named after Donny Osmond, as I was adopted with my littermate sis Marie at the same time. I have been calling myself the Astrokitty ever since the fun adventure with Momo on the Space Shuttle Discovery Mission, and recorded so beautifully and faithfully by Maggie and Zoey of Zoolatry last October.

Nicknames I like: Donny-boy, Purr Machine, Handsome Boy.

Nicknames I don't like: Brat, meanie, the Whiner, Don-NEEEE!!

Me next!

Real Name: Marie the Defender

How I got my Real Name: I was named after Marie Osmond, as I was adopted with my littermate bro Donny at the same time. I was called the Defender as I demonstrated my aggressive ability to fight for my house and home! First, I chased a visiting aunt and uncle's 8 month old puppy through the house...then I told off one of the visiting cats sitting just outside my window by a lot of growling and hissing. My mommy called me the Defender, and the name just stuck.

Nicknames I like: the Defender, sweetie-pie, little Miss Blue-Eyes

Nicknames I don't like: the Manipulator, Bad Girl.

So I tag my sweetheart Ramses. And Donny says that he wants to tag Zippy.

Now Goldie and Shade tagged me for this fun meme, which I did already - but I was soooo happy to be tagged again, coz you won't believe just HOW many things I want to do...so here goes:

This meme was created by the charming cats at petspics.

The rules are: you have to post who tagged you and link back to them and then to petspics.blogspot.com.

Then you have to tag 3 other kitties, beans, woofies, or any other assorted animal.

What three things would you do that you have never done before, if you knew you wouldn't get caught, get in trouble, or suffer any consequences?

The 3 things *I* want to do:

1. Eat Mr. Pigeon and family for dinner! I just *love* birdies and they are always so sweet to come and visit us so frequently...I am sure they will taste *just* as sweet.....

2. Gorge myself on Temptations. My mommy is a real meanie when it comes to Temptations...she only lets us have 2-3 of them each a day. *She* says it coz she doesn't want us to get all fat and ignore our relatively tasteless but nutritious food...*I* think it's coz she wants all them Temptations ALL for herself...!

3. Cuddle more often with Casey. I am always trying to tell her that I love her and want her to treat me as if she were my big sis littermate. I show her by rubbing myself against her and making sure my tail gets in her face as often as possible so she doesn't forget me. So far, she just seems to get rather offended and runs away most of the time...!

So for this round, these are my 3 things I would love to do if I could. Now I tag these 3 for this meme:

Lando Bun!
Chase Buddy!
Tillie!

I can't wait to see what kinds of shenanigans they might want to do for this meme!!

Happy Monday and Tuesday!

Ramses said...

Donny, I love your nickname, you are really handsome~!
Marie the Defender, I think Miss-Blue eyes is very special and mystery, just like a great star~!

And I think the idea you want to cook Mr. Pigeons are really interesting, I hope you could make it real ~ As for me, I think I am not able to eat my pigeon sisters, hehehe~~

Tybalt said...

Great memes! I know so much more about you both now. I would love to be able to catch one of the birdies that visit our porch, too, Marie. But I don't think my mommy would like that.

Yike, too cold to go out or efen sniff out! Cuddle!

Mickey's Musings said...

Thanks for the tag:) I will try to do it soon :)
I am so happy you are safe & warm indoors and have your Mom to snuggle with.
Mom said she has no idea what -49C (with windchill) feels like but hopes it goes away SOON!!!
Take care!!

We loved learning about your names!! Thank you for sharing.

We hope you guys are staying warm and it gets warm outside real soon.

Ivan from WMD said...

Holy mackerel, I never thought of the mom/Temptations angle! Maybe that's why when Mom rattles the bag to collect us all on her way out we don't get any!

Isis said...

Stay warm Marie, Mummy called her parents in Calgary last night and they said it was so horrid out they were planning on staying in for the next few days!

Goldie, Shade and Banshee said...

Pigeons...I have never had the pleasure. Something to look forward to.

Great memes.

Sunny's Mommy said...

I had no idea you two were named after the Osmonds :-p

I cannot believe your Mom only gives you 2-3 Temptations per day. Maybe if she gave you more Temptations, you wouldn't want to eat Mr. Pigeon and his family. If you ever do get that wish, the blood will be on your Mommy's hands.

Ramses said...

Oh Marie, I fink you'd like to see my special Wordless Wednesday! :)

Purrs,

We like bofe your nicknames, well the nice ones. That is furry cold. we hope you are wrapped up warm.

Anonymous said...

That's no weather for a human or a cat to be outside! You've got the right idea for keeping warm. Hopefully it'll keep away the chill...

Poppy Q said...

Oh sweet friends, that is just too cold. Are you sure you aren't living at the north pole?

surely your beans don't have to go out in that? My mum has only been out in -3 C weather amd she thought that was cold.

Sending you warm summer breezes.

Ramses said...

Oh Marie, I'm so happy that you love my Valentines card for you! :) I shall make you a new and better love icon for my page soon as a mark of how wonderful I think you are and since we've been together for quite some time now! :)

Thank you so much for visiting my blog during my surgery and diagnosis, and for leaving such encouraging comments. I am so thankful to have so many supportive friends. Purrs!

The Furry Fighter said...

The Cat Realm said...

"Eat Mr. Pigeon" hahahaha - I love that one! I come and help!

Unknown said...

I really enjoyed learning how you guys got your names, I wondered where the Defender part of your name came from. That would have been funny watching you put the run on the puppy.

Gretchen said...

Oh, this is frustrating. I just wrote you a whole long note and something said it was a duplicate error and I have to start over.

I was stopping by to thank you for your purrs when my mom bean was in the hospital. We are getting to visit a little more of our friends each day. But she is still not strong enough to sit in front of the computer long. She is getting better.

We both appreciate your thoughts and purrs, everyone has been so sweet and thoughtful during this time. It's wonderful to have so many loving friends.

Hugs...G
