Jake's Gift the Verdict

[SinisterLadybug]

They are the cutest things! Poor Sherpa was naughty and had to go into time out. :)

[RockyBDemilleFan]

@SinisterLadybug It's a perpetual time out for Sherpa these days ... he doesn't have the nickname *GRUMP-PAW* for nuthin' you know ... he EARNED it! =oD

[MattheCrazyScientist]

I sure wud be, haha. :)

[MattheCrazyScientist]

SHERPA. IS. TIIIIIIIIIIICKED... Lol i rly liked this one. Sherpa acted of corse like his "humbug!" ish self so it was rly funny. :)

[RockyBDemilleFan]

@MattheCrazyScientist Sherpa is almost always ticked ... you would laughing a lot over here =oD

[venniey]

Punchy. That's my name suggestion.

As for poor Sherba, he was mounting Elwood! Or trying to until mom said no. No wonder he looks cross!

I vote for Sherba to be the dominate one and Jake has to back down, with mom's help sometimes.

[RockyBDemilleFan]

@venniey Sherpa has been the dominant one ever since I brought Elwood home as a kitten ... Jake is just providing some payback [he's much more aggressive than Elwood ever was] Sherpa got his licks [I mean teeth] in when I first brought Jake home [sweet Elwood would come to Jake's rescue] ... five minutes later there would be a three kitty nap on my lap ... go figure! =o/

[themannydanny]

This was the cat's meow! I'm showing my old age.

[RockyBDemilleFan]

@themannydanny ... aren't we all =oD

[Furballfables]

Hurrah! So the mouse stays!! Yogi says, Sherpa, you'd better watch out, its not nice to pick on Elwood! (were you Santa's Naughty list?) Was that a Catapole Jake was playing with? We do like Eeek for a name, but our top choice is PeeWee followed by these other choices, Conky, Knucklehead, Scurry, Whiskers, Hickory Dickory, Mr. Jingles, Mighty Mouse, or Chuck E. Cheese

[RockyBDemilleFan]

@Furballfables Well, if Sherpa wasn't on the Naughty List he SHOULD have been [I do cut him a bit of slack for being geriatric] Yes, your eye did not deceive! Jake loves the Cat-A-Pole! I have a couple of hours recorded and need to go through it for a video [I promise there WILL be one] ... looks like you Furballs are Pee Wee Herman fans! [YAY!] ... I adore him ... I even got to see his live stage show years ago ... fantastic! Thanks for all of the suggestions =o)

[CirSam]

Oh a name?..How about Gerald?..In honor of the great Syd Barrett!

[RockyBDemilleFan]

@CirSam Your Pink Floyd is showing again Matt! =oD

[ShortyTheCat2010]

Ha, awesome! Hm, a name.... I'll have to think about it

[RockyBDemilleFan]

@ShortyTheCat2010 Either that or please put out more Shorty videos [purrty please with catnip on top?] =oD

[robert4301]

Naming animals should only be done while in a jovial mood. I can't keep a straight face naming a cat, much less a mouse. Since the mouse is small and cute, naming it after something big and ugly might work. Kraken, there's a good mouse name! Poor Elwood, it's not in his nature to end Sherpa's dictatorship. Jake might though, let's give him some time.

[RockyBDemilleFan]

@robert4301 Much to Sherpa's surprise and chagrin, Jake has NO trouble standing up to him now that he's grown some [unlike when I first brought Jake home] =o/

[utahactor]

Such a fun video!! Your kitties are all so beautiful!

[RockyBDemilleFan]

@utahactor Thanks for noticing! =o)

[jennifergwaine]

LOL! Sooooo funny when Sherpa got in trouble for "disagreeing" and lost his vote...LOLLLLL. Poor Elwood...good thing Mom's protecting him! And Jake looks soooo cute at the end of the video. That mouse "IS" pretty adorable too, I'm glad you decided to keep him! I would name him Silvermouse in honor of Silverpoint16. :D

[RockyBDemilleFan]

@jennifergwaine Yeah, HAH! ... BIG protector for Elwood! I'm armed with a camera and perturbed voice! heehee =oD

[jennifergwaine]

@RockyBDemilleFan LOL! Sherpa seemed pretty ashamed of himself after the incident. Having it all on camera must have been embarrassing.

[celinne700]

Well having exposed Jake's devious motives in the previous video, I have to acknowledge that he had everyone fooled so mom kept the mouse. Now he enjoys all the benefits of his little scheme and is laughing all the way to the bank with a brand new mouse-mate in his paws.

Names for mouse: JaMo, RoMo, JaRoMo, MoJa, Mikey, Fender-Bender.....

On another note: Has anyone thought of introducing Sherpa to Nissa? That would be a match made in hell...er...I mean heaven. Talk about fur flying everyday!

[RockyBDemilleFan]

@celinne700 Sherpa would need a passport [or an enhanced State ID since he doesn't drive] so he can [legally] venture up to the Great White North to meet Nissa. I'm afraid it's just not in the budget at this juncture =o(

"JaMo, RoMo, JaRoMo, MoJa" Sounds a bit familiar ... aren't those lyrics in a Lady GaGa song? =oD

[callas5]

Sherpa has got a well-defined position :D

*Eek* sounds good, because he/she (did you find out?) will hear it several times a day and remember the name quite quickly (grin)

To the whole Playhouse, a very thrilling night, have a healthy and prosperous New Year and may all your wishes come true!

[RockyBDemilleFan]

@callas5 Sherpa, Sherpa, Sherpa [sigh] ... what's a Mom to do? I think the mouse is not gender specific [at least at THIS stage] We wish the same to you for a healthy and prosperous New Year! Thank you for you support =o)

[jasperjayde]

Awe poor Elwood! We like the name Sparkie for the mouse! :-)

[RockyBDemilleFan]

@jasperjayde I feel bad for Elwood too ... he's been putting up with that behavior for years. Sparkie is a cute name, I like it ... looks like EEEK is the front runner at the moment =o)

[fourpawsrus]

Loved it....Kitty

[RockyBDemilleFan]

@fourpawsrus Thank you =o)

[Illuminatta]

I like Eeka Mouse for the mouse's name. :)

[RockyBDemilleFan]

@Illuminatta It does fit ... and EEEEK *was* my reaction in the video silverpoint16 made for Jake =o)

[ashleypurrs]

Hahaha!! New playhouse rodent name.. hmmm. How about Rattie the Rodent.. :D EEK is cute too as suggested below!! I think I like EEK the best!! :D

[RockyBDemilleFan]

@ashleypurrs EEK seems to be the most popular so far ... I like Rattie too ... so many choices =o)

[KCKILLERCAT]

Oh Dear ! Oh My my my ! I thought I had that box checked off !  Oh my ! Off to bed children....nothing to see here ! Oh my ! :O/

[RockyBDemilleFan]

@KCKILLERCAT Right you are Sharon! [huh?] =oI

[KCKILLERCAT]

@RockyBDemilleFan The Sherpa -Elwood scene was too much for my sweet innocent young kitties to see . Can you just imagine if they got those thoughts around here ? Oh my ! :O) hee hee !

[PetluverChannel]

I think Sherpa is getting fed up considering he isn't the boss of the house. He thought maybe my showing his power his vote would pull through ;) I hope that mouse gets to stay along in the gang! He'd be a good addition.

[RockyBDemilleFan]

@PetluverChannel Sherpa is an intelligent cat ... you'd think after 15 years [7 torturing Elwood] he'd know by now that type of power display won't produce the desired results! =o/

[PetluverChannel]

@RockyBDemilleFan My boys do things like this all the time. It's even worse since both will never back down to a blow. Then you got a full out cat fight! Your so lucky Elwood is so calm about it :3 Psycho still hasn't given up on the dominant thing. Joe just whacks him in the head and walks away like, "Get a life dude" lol Such haughty kitties. Maybe we should bring in a female and see how that turns out!

[TommyAndGracie]

Leo does the same thing to Gracie as Sherpa does to Elwood! : ) "Sherpa, What are you doing?" So funny! Thought Leo would stop since he is neutered. Gracie always bops him on the head and hisses.

[RockyBDemilleFan]

@TommyAndGracie All three of my guys are neutered ... Sherpa has always been dominant with Elwood and Elwood is way too docile to do anything about it ... most of the time the spray bottle will work ... I wish Elwood was more like Gracie =o)

[silverpoint16]

@TommyAndGracie Neutering doesn't stop all of the behaviour just calms it down a bit. Trust me on this. I had one female cat that just looked bored when the neutered male got aggressive.

[Suzan4B]

Did I just see Sherpa scruffing and attempting to mount Elwood in protest to this? This is where I'm at right now!! Sherpa's fury. LOL!!!

[RockyBDemilleFan]

@Suzan4B I don't think Sherpa is trying to mount Elwood [is HE???] Yikes =oO

[Suzan4B]

@RockyBDemilleFan YES HE "IS!" I know a scruff and a mount when I see one! LOL!!! They do that sometimes :-)) ::-))  Boys will be boys!

[RockyBDemilleFan]

@Suzan4B Not only grumpy and old ... My oh my [poor Elwood]! =oI

[Suzan4B]

@RockyBDemilleFan LOL! Stop before I cannot catch breath from laughing!

[sandrateager]

Oooh I really enjoyed that!

Yet another sweet video!  =)

[RockyBDemilleFan]

@sandrateager sweet ... with a bit of salty courtesy of Sherpa =o)

[kalbuzzero]

name your mouse Kal

[RockyBDemilleFan]

@kalbuzzero Riiiight! That's been brought up before and I think it's got a good chance for persistence alone =oP

[mari3louis3c]

Minnie or Jerry :) Love the music choice for the video

[RockyBDemilleFan]

@mari3louis3c I am very pleased with the music included with this software ... thank you, I'm glad you like it too =o)

[ImTheDaveman]

Another classuc cute kitty bideo! Yeah! I have no suggestions for the name of the playhouse. I try to stay neutral and maintain the "no comment" reply as it usually works for untold numbers of politicians. Not that I am a politician or anything - I'm just sayin iz all :-)

[RockyBDemilleFan]

@ImTheDaveman Gotcha! Perhaps, I could name him He'sTheMouseRodent in honor of your moniker =oP

[TheTheCatshow89]

cute

[RockyBDemilleFan]

@TheTheCatshow89 ... the cutest! =o)

[superantonella63]

At 0:36... your cat looks like Lucky!

[RockyBDemilleFan]

@superantonella63 That's quite a compliment because Lucky is so cute! =o)

[beachbumsocal]

I say call him, Jerry. Jerry's a cute name a la the mouse in "Tom and Jerry."

[RockyBDemilleFan]

@beachbumsocal good idea but I'm not sure my cousin Jerry would approve [then again I haven't seen him in decades!] =oD

[AveryMilieu]

Xavier is a good name!

Or Widget.

Poor Sherpa, all old and grumpy.

Poor Elwood, who gets to be the target of the grumpies.

Jake is adorable, but he's a brat!

[RockyBDemilleFan]

@AveryMilieu My favorite nickname for Sherpa right now is *Grump-paw*. =oD

[DrNworb]

Oh those sweet and silly kitty politics! Too bad my vote doesn't count 'cause I'm with Sherpa but since it doesn't, and the far too cute for its own good mouse is staying, how about Eek-a-Mouse?

Thanks for the fun video Playhouse Pals!

[RockyBDemilleFan]

@DrNworb Who sez your vote doesn't count? Why the cat den alone qualifies you for SOME input here I would think. [*I* like Eek-a-Mouse] =o)

[AveryMilieu]

@DrNworb I like EEK!

[sandrateager]

@DrNworb I kinda like Eek too! =)

[simplyroxyful]

We loved the video. Super cute kitty,s .

[RockyBDemilleFan]

@simplyroxyful Thank you ... we're happy you enjoyed it =o)

[ibsunnysha]

Ha! Sherpa was just trying to drag Elwood to try and...ahh, move him to a lower position (?)...Not wise in front of the camera & Mom! I once had a mouse named Moose...was a really cute one too...until it had babies.(Changed the name to moussie...not very original!) I don't think your new mouse will have that complication! Jake must be so pleased!!!

[RockyBDemilleFan]

@ibsunnysha Sherpa is incorrigible! Jake has misplaced the mouse somewhere so he has moved on to a new passion, the Cat-A-Pole we received from our Furball Fable pals ... when he's not chewing up infrared sensors that is =o(

[HaligonianType1]

Jake is so funny how he sits there all smug like while the other cats are feeling like they are losing their place in the pecking order. Haha...

[RockyBDemilleFan]

@HaligonianType1 I don't think Elwood knows how to peck ... as you can see he pretty much goes with the flow =o)

[plopnod]

Nothing like a happy cat video! Nice music selection too

[RockyBDemilleFan]

@plopnod Thank you very much! =o)

[silverpoint16]

Well jake must be over the moon. He gets to keep his...er....your mouse. How about Xavier for a name?

[RockyBDemilleFan]

@silverpoint16 What made you choose Xavier? The only Xavier I've heard of was a basketball player with the now defunct Seattle SuperSonics ... Jake thanks you for making his dream come true [and it gives him something to lord over Sherpa] =o}

[silverpoint16]

@RockyBDemilleFan You like unusual names for your companions. I tried to come up with one. The only other thing that came to mind was Francis and it didn't seem right. 

[DietHobby]

I liked this video a great deal. Good presentation of all 3 cats, and very entertaining. BIG THUMBS UP from your YouTube Grandma.

[RockyBDemilleFan]

@DietHobby Thank You Gramma, we always appreciate a hearty thumb's up wherever and whenever we can get 'em! =oD

[beekalmer]

Hmmmm, somersaulting rodent names, I am going to Google this.

[RockyBDemilleFan]

@beekalmer Perhaps it's a distant relative of Topo Gigio? =o/

[beekalmer]

@RockyBDemilleFan That's it! I thought I saw a resemblance.

[powerpuff250387]

aww poor Elwood, Sherpa you big bully! lol Hmm will have to have a think about mouse names though, I'm better at naming cats lol Maybe Squeak or Sherpa's lunch xD

[RockyBDemilleFan]

@powerpuff250387 Sherpa's Lunch you say? [I know ONE vote for that option] =o]

[beekalmer]

Ah oh Sherpa is on the "Time Out" bench by the Library. Is there a copy of Robert's Rules on the self he can checkout?  And where are Matt and Jambi, don't they get a vote?

[RockyBDemilleFan]

@beekalmer Sherpa is not well read [he prefers to be read to] ... Matt and Jambi don't have a say unless there was a tie or the mouse wanted to use tank as a HOT TUB! =oD

[JeanetteDK11]

Very adorable

[RockyBDemilleFan]

@JeanetteDK11 Never a dull moment! =o)

[CirSam]

So whats the verdict on what Sherpa was doing?

[RockyBDemilleFan]

@CirSam He lost his vote [and it's nothing new, believe me] ... he has always bullied Elwood =o/

[CirSam]

@RockyBDemilleFan ..Yeah but what was he doing? You asked in the video. Did he just casually walk up to a sleeping Elwood and start biting his neck?

[RockyBDemilleFan]

@CirSam a'yup ... it's a sign of dominance. He's been that way ever since I brought Elwood home as a kitten. Some things never change [sigh] =oI
