as a special treat, i bought a bag of 'nip today. after giving all three cats a (very) small taste, i put it in the utility drawer in the kitchen.
during dinner, we heard suspicious noises in the kitchen. suspecting that one of the cats was snacking on the salmon goodies we left on the counter, i went to check. sure enoughEricanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3493339.post-901432382003-01-04T19:36:00.000-08:002003-01-04T19:53:11.000-08:00Cat Codes. first seen here (link via feeny). one of feeny's people then saw fit to create a nifty online form for the cat codes.
so, without further ado, here are our codes.

today the cats made their annual trip to the vet for checkups and shots. surprisingly, this visit was relatively uneventful - faust didn't bite the vet.
all received a clean bill of health; brontë is responding well to the flea treatment.
the most difficult aspect of today's trip was getting all three cats into their carriers. they know that when the carriers come adventure kittynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3493339.post-851298382002-05-30T10:56:00.000-07:002002-05-30T21:20:02.000-07:00
Bevo, b. 2000
aka beevles, beeves and beevy-weevy
yes, she's named in honor of the university of texas mascot. her suggested name was "austen", which would have been consistent with the literary names of the other two cats in the household, while also (sort of) being a nod to austin, texas. but, despite the fact that she bears no resemblance whatsoever to a longhorn steer, the name "bevo"adventure kittynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3493339.post-3851209532002-05-27T08:45:00.000-07:002002-05-30T11:20:30.000-07:00
Faust, b. 1992
aka faustie, faustles, hellcat, grumpycat, poo-poo, pooper
like brontë, faust is a part manx, part barn cat born on a horse farm in arkansas. faust and brontë are probably related in some way, but only dna could tell for certain.
faust moved to texas at an early age to become an apartment cat. as a kitten, he looked remarkably like an evil gremlin. there was someadventure kittynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3493339.post-851208502002-05-27T07:53:00.000-07:002002-05-30T11:21:14.000-07:00
Brontë, b. 1994
aka tay-tay, tatertot, brontles, b-cat and adventure kitty
brontë is a part manx, part barn cat born on a horse farm in arkansas. at an early age she was chosen to join faust in texas.
before going to texas, brontë was relocated from the barn to the farmhouse to be socialized (and housetrained). at this time she earned the name "velcro-kitty" for her habit adventure kittynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3493339.post-3851200922002-05-26T21:15:00.000-07:002002-05-26T22:04:17.000-07:00The Watering Can - Summer 1999
the cat sitter had come to feed and water and play with the cats a day and a half before. this time, when she came to the apartment, faust and brontë didn't come running to greet her as they usually did. not thinking too much of it, she put the mail and newspapers on the kitchen table and refilled the food and water bowls. still no cats.
