Hey, Stevie - Vol 2

It has been a while since I did a "Hey, Stevie" post.  Miss A still is in LOVE with Steve and he tolerates her affection about 90% of the time.  And when he get annoyed with her, well.... most of the time she probably had it coming.  :)

 A Bears headband and bracelets as earrings.  Stylish.

 "Stevie, are you cold?"

 I did not buy this shirt....  But, I am ok with her wearing it because she still knows to cheer for the correct team.  Go Mavs!  Go Dirk!

 Froggy panties.

 Steve likes to visit the farm.

 And watch Bob and Larry DVD's.

 Sunglasses are always a popular accessory.

 "Hey Stevie, want to check your email?"

He looks like he is wearing a bowtie.... it is a headband.

"Hey Stevie, look... it lights up!" 

Hey, Stevie

I often joke around that Steve must be pretty annoyed with how his life has turned out.

He went from being the king of the house to having to live with a toddler that harasses/loves him and a wild dog that constantly annoys him. Actually, he is a very good natured cat and loves to be in the same room as Miss A and me. He loves to cuddle up next to you on the couch and is kinda protective of Miss A. And Miss A adores her Stevie. She is constantly loving on him, trying to pick him up and is always sharing her toys or snacks with him.

I started taking these pictures a couple months ago, documenting all of the ways Miss A 'loves' on Stevie. (His given name is Steve, but A calls him Stevie) None of these were staged.

"Stevie, want to wear my visor I made?"

"Stevie, time for tea."

"Stevie, it is sunny. Here are your sunglasses"

"Hey Stevie, want to sit with Elmo?"

"Steve, want to hide under my stool?" (He was not a fan of this one)

"Stevie, want to read?"

"Stevie, here is your juice"

"Stevie is like a baby!"

"Stevie, here is my butterfly hat"

"Stevie, are you hungry?"

"Look at my new flip flops Stevie!"

"Steve is wearing pretty earrings!"

And more earrings! She also tries to put bracelets on his tail.

"Steve, want some of my cereal?"

"Let me read to you Stevie."

"Stevie, lets play!"

"Stevie, want to read?"

In my next life ...

... I want to come back as this guy.

Neither one of these pictures were staged; he just thinks he can sleep wherever he wants.

Ignore the awful couch... we are working on replacing it... The sooner the better.

Famous Steve

I talk about Steve the cat all the time, but did you know he is famous?

First, he was on the website Stuff on My Cat.

And now he is in the book More Stuff on My Cat. He even has a 2 page spread!

As you can see, he was very excited upon seeing he was in print.

The only part of the picture that was staged was the Pictionary pieces on top of him... he climbed into the box and broke it all by himself.

Steve the Cat

Not only does he link to drink out of the toilet, hang out on top of the kitchen cabinets, and chill in the tub, but he also likes to read Maxim. Where kind of cat do I have on my hands??

Steve the Cat

Does this make me a bad mom?

I don't think that it does. My parents cat does the same thing. I think that Steve probably picked up this bad habit from watching Tigger.

The Preppy Cat

Growing up with younger brothers, I witnessed all sorts of crazy things that you can do to cats... All humane, of course. For example, if you place little pieces of tape on their paws, they do not put their paws on the ground. So, if you do that to all 4 paws, it is pretty amusing. Animal lovers, don't worry -- the tape was never sticky enough to cause pain when it comes off. Or if you loosely tie something around their waist, they immediately fall to the ground. Maybe it messes with their equilibrium -- who knows.

Mean? No.

Funny? Yes.

I think the same theory applies to clothing and cats. When you dress your cat in a cute, preppy dog shirt they immediately fall to the ground. I had never tried to dress Steve the cat before, and now I know why. Getting the shirt on him was no big deal. Trying to get the shirt off of him without him biting you -- a different story.

You would think I would learn with the first shirt. But, no. Here he is another preppy polo.

(Excuse the quality of the pictures. I can't find my charger for my camera, so the camera phone will have to do.)

Here is his new collar that matches the green shirt. Cute in theory, but doubt the matching outfit will ever be worn again.
