ManCat Monday - World Premier

Of all the 36 alternatives, the best is to run away - Chinese Proverb

A few weeks ago I told you mum bought some stuff to help out a bean at work with a brain tumor. Well I showed you the bread and soup mix, but here is the other thing she got!

Yep, a mini movie camera. She managed to get it for less than it would have cost her in a store, plus she outbid her boss by one green paper. He wasn't mad about it though.

So mum has taken some moving pictures of me and figured out, at least a little bit on how to make a movie.

I hope the movie works right, sometimes it wants to stop in the middle, don't know why.

So my World Movie Premier, which fits with our Ham Tour!



She was busy all weekend doing other stuff. Mainly painting our patio! She came home early from day hunting on Friday, they let them out early for the weekened. So she got busy, moved all of the chairs out and took a before picture.
Here it is before she stared, all splotchy and dirty looking
First coat of paint, you can really tell the difference!
First coat done on Friday evening.
Second coat done by Saturday afternoon.
Me, snoopervising from inside the big windows that go to the floor. I think she did an OK job.

Happy Monday Holiday to my fellow US kitties.Mum and I are just going to chillax' today and with Grampie over for a bit. She was busy enough with the painting, I guess I will agree to let her rest.

  1. Your Mom has been busy. I like your first video very much. Your Mom did a good job of painting the patio. I think you should let her relax now.

  5. HAMS!!! We have an older (and not as good) version of that camera. My Mommeh love it because it is so easy to use. And I see your mom already knows how to edit and add effects to the movie! It was awesome!

  11. Great movie, Derby! We felt like we were eating that ham along with you! Too bad they don't make movies with taste-vision!

  14. Derby, it was so great seeing you in live action! Tell your mom she needs to take a ham break herself after all that work!

  15. Yay on the video! Our Mommy figured out plain ol' video easily enough, but hasn't even tried with editing or special effects like credits. She's useless. *sigh*

    The patio looks great and you obviously did a good job snoopervising. We think it's okay to let her chill out with Grampie today. Y'all have fun!

    Purrs and hugs,
