Flip Friday

A few days ago, I said to Zoe, "I think this week for Flip Friday, we might just do Mini Cat Movies.  What do you think of that?"

She stared at me with A Look.  Apparently, I didn't decipher The Look correctly.

I thought it was a look of, "OK, do whatever you want."

Now I know it was just A Look.

Up until yesterday, I was still ignorant of this fact however, so I said to the Mini Cat, "It's your movie day!!  Let's make some Mini Cat Movies!!"  I'd already made one small movie of him a couple of days ago, but I wanted one more.  I wanted a Jumping Movie.

The Chick helped with the process.  She played with the Mini Cat while I shot footage of him playing.  Movie after movie, he kept jumping and flying out of the frame.  Finally, I thought I had enough material, and we stopped filming and I came upstairs to make some movies.

I said to Zoe, "Wait until you see this Jumping Movie, Zoe.  I think You might like it."

There it was:  The Look.

I pressed on.

Needless to say, I got nothing in all those movies.  I had a lot of movies of the Mini Cat flying through the air in which all you could see was a tail tip, a set of little white toes, or, more commonly, a Blur of Nothingness.

"I guess I didn't get anything after all," I said, disappointed.

Again, The Look.

And so, I also made a Rabbit Movie.

See?  I'm not as dumb as I look.

Here are this week's Friday offerings, then.

First, the Mini Cat:

Enjoy your weekend!  Oh, and try to avoid The Look.

The Return of the MiniCat

When last you read, the MiniCat was "away" at "camp."

("Camp," of course, being a place where one "loses things."  And, by "loses things," of course, we mean the MiniCat can now perhaps sing a little higher and feel a little calmer.  Maybe he can leave that pillow alone now.  Wink wink.)

It took ALL WEEKEND, but the movie that Zoe and I made last week during our X-treme missing of the MiniCat is finally loaded.  Who knows why it took sooooooooooo loooooooooong.

So, to celebrate both the Homecoming of the Mini and Zoe's Extreme Beauty and Stellar Acting Abilities, we have decided to post that movie on the Uncustomary Day of Monday.

But before we do that, Zoe thought you might like to see the Certificate of Bravery that Toby, the MiniCat received at "camp."  I thought it was pretty darn Cute and Cool.

Of course, Rabbits aren't much impressed with such things being that they are always Brave Animals.  She doesn't see why it's such a big deal that he deserved a Certificate, but She agreed that since She was (secretly) glad he was back at home, that showing you a picture of the Certificate would be OK>

YAY, Toby!  Sooooo Brave!!!

Well, I'm not impressed.

Me neither.  

Let's show a Rabbit Movie 

to cleanse our palette, shall we?

Flip (Lonely) Friday

This morning, our Lilypad is Incomplete.

It is missing a piece.  A 9.5 lbs (that's right!  9.5 lbs!!), orange striped, loud mouthed, eats so much it could pop piece that we like to call "The Mini Cat."

He is, of course, at his "appointment."  It's the same "appointment" that most Indoor Kitties, male or female, undergo at around the age of 6-7 months.  Of course, when Toby asked about it yesterday, I told him, "Oh, honey, you are just going to camp!   You're going to have so much....fun!"

I may be paying for that (lie) in the near future.

Toby will be home soon, in fact, as I write this at 6:30 AM, I know he will be home in a few short hours-- he should be home by about 10:45 AM.   All will be well.

In the meantime, Zoe wanted to post a movie showing how much She missed Toby.  We made it last night, produced it and uploaded it to Vimeo, but for some reason this morning, it is saying it's not yet finished in its processing and therefore cannot be embedded or even watched yet.

I'll have to post the new movie later today or tomorrow for you, as it is one you won't want to miss.

So, for your viewing enjoyment today, we will simply have to fall back on a couple of old standbys to help us through this Dark Period with a Missing Mini Cat and Non-Uploading Rabbit Movies.

First, we submit to you a movie that captures the Spirit of Zoe's Loneliness.  Her  Ennui.  The depths of Her Missing the Mini Cat:

This second video explores Her Inner Aggression a bit.  In this video, She challenges our view of What is Cute? and What is Sweet?  She shows us a bit of Her Dark Side brought on by things like....well....the Extreme Missing of Her MiniCat!

Well, we hope you enjoyed this trip down memory lane. We will certainly post the New Rabbit Production as soon as it figure out what it's doing.

In the meantime, enjoy your Friday and your Subsequent Weekend!!! (Oh and at all costs, avoid "camp!" I really don't think it's that fun!)
