Backyard with the Beast

VIDEO #358

Song - "Luna Y Sol" by Manu Chao

I thought Mike the Cat has had his fair share of videos so this one is dedicated solely on the Beast and her great curiosity to life in the great outdoors. I think she was going for a kill but the bird she was stalking had too many friends. Strength in numbers kind of a thing.

Pure Chaos, but fun

This video goes out to Kim and Katana... Kim for coming up with this idea on her birthday (happy super belated birthday) and Katana... being that you're out making the mighty dollar, thought you'd like to see what the little girl is up to. I hope you two can watch together and get a smile after a long days work.

Mike's Daydream

VIDEO #322

Song - "Welcome Home" by Metallica performed by Rockabye Baby

This morning we had snow followed by sunshine, soon to come was rain and finally hail. A crazy day which made the cats a little confused, especially Mike the Cat. I tried to make this look as if Mike was having a little daydream of a nice summer's day during the rain, so picture that if it doesn't happen for ya. Off the subject, Happy Birthday Tana, let's go bowling!

Dancing Barbies

VIDEO #316

Song - "You Can Call Me Al" by Paul Simon

These were the requests for a birthday video from a friend: "Something with your little toys and Keeley as a giant Japanese movie monster. And I better get a producer AND a writer credit for that one!" I know how much she loves Barbie photo shoots so I incorporated Barbies. The cat liked "Ken" too much so the monster part was a wash. Anywho, Happy Birthday Kim! Cheers ya later.

The Cutest Thing Ever

VIDEO #285

Song - "Teddy Bear" by Jamba

Hey, sometimes the video of the day needs to focus on the simpler, sensitive side. Yes, this is it, the sweetest/cutest video I will make in the long haul of 365 continuos videos... it is so damn cute.

Awesome Techno Tune

This quite possibly could be cross dressing at its finest... I wouldn't be surprised if this video ended up on this site HERE. Fabulous!

Laundromat Cat

VIDEO #230

Song - "Laundry Room" by The Avett Brothers

The White Beast knew I was having a rough day today and decided to help me out with a video to make my life easier. Not only was the Beast talent for the video, she decided to give me the rest of the night off as she edited, uploaded and typed these words you're now reading. What a sport!

Mike Gets A Girlfriend

VIDEO #196

Songs - "Take Me Home, Country Roads" by John Denver and Remixed by Apres Ski Hut

Mike the Cat has a girlfriend! She might be a little too young for him but in the cat community, it's all good. Their first impression wasn't too bad but it is taking some time for Mike to accept her as one of his own. We are juggling a couple names around for her including Kealey Chompers, just Chompers and the Beast (short for Beastie). I'm sure she will let us know which name fits her the best.

Meet Me in the Bathroom

VIDEO #187

Song - "Meet Me In the Bathroom" by The Strokes

There's nothing like working 12 hours on a shoot to come home to work on a video for the blog! It's the best. It's so good that I decided to share the cutest cats in the world drink from a faucet. I know, I know... unbelievably amazing, I agree! Alright, heading to bed.

Mike and Dan's Date Night

VIDEO #180

Song - "We Didn't Start The Fire" by Billy Joel

Mike the Cat is a pretty needy fellow and he tends to get what he wants. He asked for a fire last night so I gave him a fire he would never forget including tiki torches, candle light and red wine. Needless to say, he was impressed and stayed up late. Now, he is sleeping in a dark corner trying to shake his hangover. Me, not hungover. I'm just trying to figure out how to make a good video again... it appears I might be spent.

Gringo Gets Pampered

VIDEO #125

Mexican Collection of Sound

Gringo gets his first pedicure and seemed to have thoroughly enjoyed it. Not many Gringos out there can say they've been pampered this good before, and for that, I am sure Gringo feels lucky. Of course, he will now and forever be remembered as the girly Gringo, but Gringo told me "es bueno."

Simple Pleasures

VIDEO #124

Song - "Where the Sidewalk Ends" by George Strait

We have a brand new, beautiful sidewalk in front of the house which brings a new afternoon activity, fun for the whole family. I'm sure after watching this you will be engaged to grab your bucket of sidewalk chalk and head on over. We will see you all soon! Oh, just so happens this is the second video in a row with a George Strait song. Weird coincidence? Or is it that George and I are on some strange parallel that involve milk and sidewalks? No one knows.

Mike's New Bling

VIDEO #109

Song - "Good 'Ol Fashioned Nightmare" by Matt and Kim

Yesterday we went to the pet store to get Mike a new fashionable collar to replace his missing one which is a real mystery as to where it could be. In the process of exciting collar purchasing, we strolled around the store to visit the cute buddies waiting patiently for a new family. All were adorable and Poppy, the green eyed cat, made Katana teary she was so cute. Someone should really head to Pet Smart in Hazel Dell WA, make Poppy a happy cat and take her home. We would but Mike told us he can't afford the attention loss from a new cat.

Project Paint the Fence

VIDEO #075

Song - "A-Punk" by Vampire Weekend

Today I added a little color to the back deck. After the project was done, the whole family came out to see it. Oh the simple little things a domesticated man lives for!

Mike's Laser Toy

VIDEO #048

Library Music

Mike has recently figured out what the laser pointer is and still doesn't seem to care, he can't help but to try and get that little red dot. Oh, and I think it's official, Mike's human voice is permanently in the tune of Clint Eastwood.

The Showdown

VIDEO #025

Song from The Good, the Bad and the Ugly (Sound clips from Clint Eastwood: Gran Torino and Dirty Harry)

Mike the Cat has a new arch nemesis who we have named Cliff (after Heathcliff). Mike stands his ground pretty good from inside but, true story, as I was putting this edit together, Mike and Cliff went at it on the front porch. I broke it up too soon to tell who was the victor. I'm guessing Cliff because he's quite bigger. Cliff might have the muscles but he doesn't have an internet fan base. Go Mike go!

A Day in the Life of Mike - The Cat

VIDEO #021

Song - "Cat Scratch Fever" by Ted Nugent

Mike the Cat has been adapting well to the new house but it seems that he might feel out numbered by the neighborhood cats. These guys look a little more rough this side of the moat (crossing over 82nd that is). We are both in training as of today and hope to make it outside and stand up to those bullies.
