My Liebster Award


My doggie pal Finley gave me dis here Liebster Award - fanks so much Finn!  I wish ya would gimme some of dat tasty chikken ya had for breakfast instead, but I'll take da award anyways.  MOL!

Ok, Finley says dat da award has got some rules:

1.  Acknowledge and accept da Liebster Award by leavin' a comment on da blog where ya wuz nominated.
2.  Copy and paste da Liebster Award logo onto yer own blog.
3.  Link back to da blogger(s) who awarded ya.
4.  Answer 11 questchuns posed to ya by da person who nominated ya.
5.  List 11 random facts bout yourself.
6.  Nominate and link 3-11 other blogs ya enjoy.
7.  List 11 questchuns for yer Liebster Award nominees on yer blog.
8.  Inform yer nominees by leavin' a comment on der blog.

Ok, so I guess I are gonna start wif Finley's queshtuns.

1.  Duz ya like to watch da tv?  Duz ya have any favorite kinda shows or movies?
I like sports.  Dat are bout da only thing I's been caught watchin - football and basketball.  Guess it are all da lil guys runnin round, only momma says in real life dey is not so lil.
2.  Duz ya react to da doorbell on tv-- like bark if ya is a dog, or run and hide if yer a kitty or squawk if ya is a burd??
I don't really react to da doorbell, but sometimes I will run and hide when you and Whitley get to barkin at da TV doorbell, MOL!
3.  Duz ya imitate any other animal... like try to sound like anuther cat or dog ya lives wiff or an entirely different animal than ya is?
YUP!  I has got a huge range of meows, I perfected da loud Jezebel MRRROW when she wuz still here.  And Maurice's calmer meows.  I's copied Crockett's raspy kinda meow and even Angelique's lil high-pitched girly mew.  I can even sound like 2 (or more) cats havin a cat fight - all by myself.  I hasn't tried barkin yet - momma says Maurice did dat a couple times.  And I can baaa like a sheep too.
4.  Duz ya likes to "talk"... just bark or grumble or meow or chirp or whutevfur likes ya is tryin' to take to yer folkses and dey is too dumb to unnerstand ya?
Yeah, I luvs talkin.  I meow all da time.  Momma says I's a loudmouth.  I says, takes one to know one.
5.  Duz ya has a favorite food?  How duz ya gits it?  Duz ya put on a certain face or beg or whut?
Well, bacon are my most favorite, but I also luvs sossidge, shrimp, crab, chikken, fish, ham, butter, cheese, eggy weggy, well, all kindsa stuff really.  To gets it, I either just steals it or I puts on my cute lil squee-face and meow.  Da humans are a sucker for squee-face, speshully when I combines it wif standin up on my hind legses and beggin.


6.  Duz ya have a favorite person?  (It's okay, ya can tells us...) 
Well, my favoritest person are momma.  After all, she are da one who sits next to da bacon-receivin tower.  MOL!  Next up are Crockett's momma, she cooks da bacon and gives some pawsome head rubs.
7.  Are dere any pupperazis -- camera nuts-- dat ya lives wiff?  Duz ya need to be bribed fur posin?
Uh, I believe ya has met my momma, right Finley?  She are da camera nutso, everyday she insists on pickshures.  Sometimes I get treats after posin time.  But I can't be baited wif em like da pupses can cuz I'll go all nutso and not be still.
8.  Duz ya like to wear clothes?
I'll admit it, I does.  I likes wearin bandanas, fancy collars, and hats.  I hasn't worn much else besides dat, but I does like lookin good.  After all . . . 


9.  Duz ya have a favorite kinda music?
I likes country music.  Well, wif a name like Travis Ford, what did ya eggspect?  George Strait, Willie Nelson, Garth Brooks, yeah, dat's my speed.  But as ya can tell from above, I luvs me some rock too.
10.  Duz ya have any animalsibs and which one is yer fave and why?
Well, Whitley are my sister since we both belong to my momma, I guess Angelique are techinically my cuzzin since my momma and hers are sisters and I guess Crockett and Finley are my uncle and aunt??  But dat are confuseratin, so I'll just say deys all my brofurs and sisfurs.  And I luvs em all, but Crockett are my favorite.  We got dat orange mancat bond.  Ya know, bros before . . . as my pal Charlie would say, tarts.
11.  Duz ya evfur wish ya had a Super Power?  And if ya duz, whut would it be and why?
All da time.  I'd wish for telekinesis, da abilitee to move stuff wif my mind.  Da possibilities for endless bacon . . . .

Now for da 11 random facts:

1.  My middle name are Ford.  It wuz my name at da rescue.  My siblings all got lushury car names like Beemer, Jaguar, and Audi.  I wuz Ford.  Luckily, da only kinda car my momma's ever had are Mustangs, so she wuz happy to add another Ford to her colleckshun.
2.  I luv makin biskits.  I does it every night on momma.  I's made biskits on Whitley da pup before too.  And of course on my fleecey blankey.
3.  Every night I meows at momma endlessly while she are gettin ready for bed.  I want to make sure she don't forget my whole can of Fancy Feast I gets every night.
4.  I luvs groomin da udder kitties.  And Crockett is always gettin food on his head, so it are a win-win for me.
5.  I are my momma's third orangie.  Da firstest one wuz Bevo, way back when she wuz a lil girl.  And she had Charlie before me.  I guess she likes us orangies, and Crockett's momma must too!  He are number four for da family.
6.  I luvs to make Happy Buddha Face where I grin wif my eyes closed.
7.  Crockett and Angelique can occayshunally be finicky wif dere food, but I's never met food I didn't like.  Da udder day, I got caught rippin into some bagels and some parmesan bread da mommas brought home from da grocery store.  I got in trubbull, but it wuz worth it.
8.  I's never bitten or scratched anyone.  Evfur.  Dis are why everyone at da vet's office luvs me.
9.  I's been known to eat some weird stuff.  Besides da bagels dat are.  Like curlin ribbon and Easter grass.  So no Easter grass dis year round dis house.
10.  I's tried to steal momma's cocktails before.  Hey, a margarita sounds tasty to me!
11.  I wuz named after William Barret Travis, commander of Alamo.

I are nominatin:

1.  Pipo
2.  Summer
3.  Levon
4.  Boomer
5.  Preslee
6.  Austin
8.  Cody
9.  Georgia
10.  Ernie
11.  Marty

And dese are my questuns:

1.  What are yer favoritest toy?  Nip stuffies, crunchie balls, da bird on da wand, balls, track toys??
2.  Does ya evfur gets peep food?  How does ya goes about gettin it?  I are always lookin for new strategeries.
3.  How does ya feel bout pupses?
4.  Who are yer famous cat role model?  Garfield, Bucky Katt, Grumpy Cat, well, who are it?

Ok, I think dat are all I gots to do!  Now, it are photo time . . .

    Travis, we enjoyed learning more about you. You sound a lot like Levon! He loves all kinds of food (and drink) too and has been known to eat some weird stuff too :) And he would never bite or scratch or anything like that (even at the vet's). Our Mama loves the orange boys too. The love of her life was Leo, an orange boy.:)
