What's in a Name with Raz

Doesn't the Tabby Cat Club have the best events?  I want to thank Oui Oui and Abbi for hosting this fun event!!

I came to live with the Florida Furkids when I was a little dude....wasn't I cute????

I already had the name Razputin and Mom decided that she would see if it "fit".  I know we cats sometimes hide our real names from the humans and make them figure them out.  Anyway.............I really never answered to Razputin but I would turn around a little for Raz.  Mom says when she really wants my attention she says "RAZZIE!"  yeah....whatever.

Mom emailed my foster Mom about my name to ask if it had special meaning  and here's what she said:

"Well no, I just like to pick unusual names as they tend to get more hits on Petfinder. .  And he was really Rasputin which was a rather strange historic figure but I just liked the name and when I get a litter I want to use the same first letter so they will show up on Petfinder together, because they are siblings. . .and Raz just seemed to fit him, he was the runt but very friendly and playful. ."

So...........there it is.  Oh yeah....who are they calling a RUNT?  I'm a big boy!!!!

My Peeps by Tamir

Hi everybuddy. Tamir here. If I close my eyes really hard maybe these two won't embarrass me!

 Here are my Peeps.  You probably think they are really GIANT since all the other people on the beach are kind of small.  Nah.......that's because I wanted to show you the beach where I live and the pic I had of Mom and Dad was taken in Nova Scotia with Flat Tamir.  Please ignore Mom's roots and Dad's scabbed knee......geesh....you can't take these two anywhere!!!

Tuesday Toesies with Tamir

Hey Gracie.....are my toesies cute enough for you?

What would you buy?

Today's fun event is What Would You buy with a $20 Pet Smart Gift certificate hosted by Sassy.

Tamir says he would buy more of these nip fortune cookies to share with his Girlfriend Gracie!!

Hey Gracie, let's read our fortunes!!!

Our Auntie El is having surgery today.  Please keep her in your purrs and prayers.

Embarassing Photos

Every Easter Mom makes me wear these stupid cute ears.

I wonder if closing my eyes real tight will make it less embarrassing?

What's in a Name?

Today's special event is What's in a Name and it's hosted by our pal Oui Oui.


When Mom got me from the rescue they just called me Buff Kitten.  As soon as I came home with her, Mom went to work to figure out what my "real" name was.  Her other kitties had names like Khartoum, Kashmir and Baschert and the kitten who went ORB just before she got me was named Tabriz.

Out came the New Age Baby Book...

After looking at all the names and seeing my response, she found the purrfect name - Tamir!  It is a Hebrew name and it means Tall and stately like a Palm tree.  Who knew we would live in Florida one day which would make it even more purrfect?

Don't I look tall and stately in my official Cat Show photo taken by the great Chanan?  I sure hope Gracie is impressed!!

You know what's even better about this post?  Mom found my adoption papers and now I know my Gotcha Day!!!  It's June 7!  Too bad she missed it but we're going to celebrate it on our blog today anyway!!
