Straight out of a horror film…
Last night, my brother in law Steve came over and Eric, Steve, and I got cozy in the family room and watched The Bourne Identity. Eric and I are huge fans of the Bourne movies. We have watched each one probably over 10 times. I also may or may not have a crush on Matt Damon. shhhhhh. 
Eric and I are going to bundle ourselves up in about 7 blankets and watch #2 and possibly #3 tonight! Can’t wait.
The weather is perfect for some snuggling and movies…
After the movie finished last night, Eric was showing us his new media player. It lets him play You Tube videos on the TV. He decided to put on a bunch of Sketchie’s videos that have now become quite popular! One of Sketchie’s videos now has over 122,000 hits…pretty crazy! This cat delivered when he was a kitten. haha.
Without further ado, I present to you a little entertainment on your Friday night. I hope you will get a laugh out of Sketchie’s crazy kitten ways! 
Let’s start off with the first day we brought him home…April 28, 2007:
His body was too funny!!!!
Let’s just say that Christmas is a very interesting time of year with Sketchie around!!! This was his first Christmas in our condo…
Make sure the music is turned up for the full effect!
Sadly, our Christmas tree doesn’t stay in one piece very long! Does anyone else’s cat climb the tree?
Sketchie as a kitten fighting with that ‘cat in the mirror’…
OMG!!!! Cats are so rediculous.
And now the one that has over 122,000 views! A You Tube Sensation!
Nothing makes us laugh harder than that loud ‘DONG’ at the start of the video when he hits his head. That explains so much…
And now for some kitten pictures…
Those awkward teen years…
He’s a great listener….bahahaha
He loves his mice…
MY BEH-BEH!
We once found him sleeping in an empty tissue box.
[I'm joking, but that would be hilarious]
Oh no you didn’t!
I think this post officially breaks me into Crazy Cat Lady territory if I wasn’t there already! ha!
~~~~
Now I want you to tell me about your pets!
Do you have any? What crazy things do they do?
If you have any pictures of your pets online or any videos please link to them!

This is too cute!! Love Sketchie
My husband and I have a big purebred Alaskan Malamute kennel and a black lab. We do dog sledding expeditions with the malamutes, which is SO much fun! All our dogs are our beloved pets! They are the coolest, cutest, fluffiest babies!

And we love Sketchie! He’s a cool guy! Thanks for sharing your adorable photos of him.
Ohmigosh Ange, I don’t even like cats and I think I’m in love with Sketchie. Does he have any siblings??! I love the action shot and the videos of him as a kitten. How freakin’ adorable!
Those videos were AWESOME. They left my husband and I laughing our butts off!
My husband’s family has a Pug. He’s awesome. And fat. And super, duper lazy. But we love him. 
I LOVE PUGS!
Haha! He is so cute. I have become a crazy cat lady too. Here is our baby http://modernation.wordpress.com/photos/picture-17/. Wish I had more pics of him on the blog – I need to do a post, too I guess. Our cat likes to squeeze in the tiniest places, too. I think it makes them feel safe.
awww he’s cute
I am in hysterics over those videos!
OMG your kitty is amazing..I am not a cat person but this post just changed my mind!! My daughter is a huge animal lover and has not demanded a sketchie of her very own!
has now demanded*
AMAZING!
Totally made my Friday! Sketchie is AWESOME. I showed your blog and him to my cat obsessed friend and she fell in love
She was the one who turned me onto cats actually. Before her I was totally a dog person.
But she convinced me to foster a pregnant cat when we were roommates together in university.
Boy am I glad we did. The pregnant kitty had 3 of the most adorable kittens I’ve ever seen.
Here they are for your viewing pleasure.
Elmo, Daisy and Zoe in a box

OMG I WANT ONE!!!!!!!!!
PS- I used to be a ‘dog’ person too…now im both
HAHA I love Sketchie, he is so cute. My fiance’s mom has a cat just like him.
I have two cats Pookie and Smeagol-I feel like I talk about them a lot but they are so fun! I can’t imagine coming home to a house without them-especially when my fiance is working late =)
Here they are..Pookie is the white Persian and Smeagol is the brown tabby

lol…kittens just can’t resist can they? Always getting into trouble
Yay! I love reading about other peoples pets! Sketchie is too cute and I love the shots of him as a kitten! Those videos are too funny too – I sure hope you have those unbreakable christmas ornaments!
-K
Those videos are great.
My parents’ cat, Clementine, has knocked down the Christmas tree almost every year. They always buy a real tree and you have to keep water at the bottom. Water goes everywhere, all of the ornaments break, and the lights become tangled. It is such a pain to re-decorate the tree and clean-up but it is also really funny
Pets make life so much better!
You’re right, cats are redic!
haha we bought a fake tree b/c we didn’t know what he would do…plus we were in a tiny condo so it worked out. All our decorations are plastic. In this house, he will be closed off from it (we don’t let him on the one side of the house) so I don’t think he will get into too much trouble
I am a proud crazy cat lady too!
Sketchie is beautiful! I love the pic of him under the brown bag with his tongue sticking out! I had a cat that used to do that! Too cute!
My cats have never climbed the Christmas tree though and after seeing the video of him doing it, I wish that they would! Maybe I could teach them!!! Yes! I’ll make it a December goal! bah!
You’re playing with fire! haha
such a coincidence…i was just talking to my mom about how next year i want to get my own cat to bring with me to college. i have my dog and my horse at home, but they belong at home. i need someone to come along with me!
OMG!!!! Sketchie rocks!!
I love the climbing up the Christmas tree video…what a cute little rascal.
Ninja and Pancakes were enchanted by the Sketchie videos. They want to know what his status is.
These are my babies when they were babies. I need some better pictures of them for general circulation! http://runningsongs.wordpress.com/i-like/
awww such fluffy lil guys
This is my crazy dog. You have to watch the whole video. We catch him doing this all the time!! Ps. We just got him about 2 months ago from the pound!!
ttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EkrdMpGqUmM
OMG your dog is the funniest dog in the world!!!!!!!! Does he do that often? lmao
he does it all the time. If me and my other half are busy, he’ll do it just to try to get our attention!!:)
ahhh I LOVE bengals! when hubby and i were first looking at cats I so wanted to go buy a bengal from a breeder – but then we got realistic and realized rescuing a cat was a better option for us.
My cats totally freaked out while I was watching that video because they heard sketchie meowing and went to investigate upstairs to see if there was a visitor – hahahahahahah!!!!
Ahhh I love how much joy pets bring! We have 2 cats, Smuckers and Scout. They are quite the handful, especially Smuckers who is like a dog. She also jumps up and tries to wrap her paws around the doorknob to get out. I don’t know what she would do ever she ever actually succeeded!
Sketchie recently discovered how to open doors…its all he does now
I am not a cat person, but Sketchie is one gorgeous cat! That last video had me laughing so hard!
We have a miniature schnauzer, Rufio (like from the movie Hook). He’s insane and we love it. His newest trick is he sings to us! I have pics of him all over my blog, and a video going up in the next day or two. I love him so much!
My cat climbs the Christmas Tree too. He also tries to eat the fake needles of the tree, which then lead him to puke…you would think that he would figure out that he shouldn’t eat them!!
Sketchie will eat just about anything. Bugs, paper, lint, you name it. ESPECIALLY if we tell him no, then he gobbles it down as fast as he can, haha
Haha OMG that first pic!!
My roomie currently has a cat, but it’s rather boring haha. I grew up with a shi-tzu bichon puppy and though she lives with my parents, she’s my baby
Now she’s 15 (so OLD in dog years!) and she’s losing her sight and hearing. It’s funny though because her new thing is to move her big bed (a pillow at least twice the size of her) around our kitchen. It takes her a looong time and she’s out of breath, but it’s all she does now! Makes me laugh every time.
thats so cute.
I may have already labeled you into the “crazy cat lady” realm considering the only way my husband got it when I said where I got my AWESOME SUPER-DELICIOUS Glo Bars was to finally just say “It’s Sketchie’s mom!” Then he got it
I always show him the Sketchie pics! LOL.
Love Sketchie. Don’t leave him unattended or I may kitty-nap him!
sketchie’s mom…love it!
Aw, Sketchie is beyond cute! I think I’m a dog person (a small dog person, at that!), but a cat like Sketchie would win me over any day. I recently adopted two rats, and they are so fun. The older one is my ‘lap rat’ – perfectly content to sit in my lap and get scritches for hours on end.
AAH!!! This was the greatest post! I’m such a Sketchie fan…ad I’ve talked about him so much that my husband had to come sit here while we watched the videos. We have a little girl, Shelli. She’s a bobtail, so she’s *really* clumsy. There are pics up on my blog. We’ve got that same squeaky mouse that chirps whenever it touches anything, too!
Last thought about the blog; I’ve got to say, it’s pretty freaking righteous that you guys appeared to be watching The Jeffersons during the “Sketchie vs the Mirror part 2.” Joey noticed that right away.
Hope you have a good night:)
Everyone mentions the Jeffersons, but we have never seen it in Canada- I think it was either a commercial using that music or it was on and we just never caught it. lol.
It’s a pretty funny show. The theme song is iconic, though…that’s what people remember. At any rate, it provided an excellent “musical score” to Sketchie’s epic battle with the cat in the mirror;).

I love cats but my allergies get in the ay. I had to take allergy pills as a kid because I loved cats.
Now I have two dogs: Leo the co-dependent powderpuff chinese crested and Peanut the independent Pomchi (pommeranian chihuahua mix). Love them dearly like they are my kids.
I have a fair bit of pics on them at my blog itallchanges.wordpress.com
BTW I love the ode to sketchie. Made me giggle and remember some of the fun times with my kitties. And his markings are gorgeous.
LOL! I have 3 kids…ages 9, 7 & 6. They sat here and giggled and laughed watching all of these….the bonk into the glass and climbing the tree got watched over and over…then we had to look through the other vidoeos of Sketchie on you tube….great Friday night entertainment, Ang! Thanks!
He’s so cute!
awwww…glad it brought some fun for the family!!
I’m a total cat convert after this hilarious post. Sketchie is awesome!
I’ve always been a dog person. When I was little, we had a terrier mix named Blondie who had a masochistic desire to attempt to eat bees. She was stung in the mouth more than once, but somehow, it didn’t deter her. Gotta love crazy pets!
I’m so in love with Sketchie!!
ERGH about the Christmas tree…I’m dreading putting mine up this year. Last Christmas my lovely little Chloe passed away the day after (which was devestating!). I was so upset that my husband went out and foreced me to get two kittens (which I felt guilty about)…but of course, no one can replace what you lost..they’re just different! (-:
The kittens turned about to be a blessing, but they climbed up my tree so I immediately took it down. Now that they’re bigger cats, I’m hoping the urge won’t be there this year otherwise I have no clue what I’m going to do!!
Man. I had Chloe for 18 years (since I was 9) and she never ever climbed the tree or did anything bad.
Your cat is absolutely adorable, not to mention completely entertaining. That is a huge compliment, considering I’m such a huge dog fan. I was wondering though, is Sketchie a specific breed of cat that I’m unaware of? I’ve never seen a cat with such a beautiful pattern. (Well, besides leopards.) His fur is such a trip. I love it.
he’s a bengal
Hahahaha awwwwww this is quite possibly the cutest blog post I have ever seen in my LIFE!
Sketchie is adorable!! My kitty climbs the christmas tree too haha.
I’ll do a blog post sometime soon of the mischief my girl Jazz gets herself into
This made my day!!!
I love Sketchie! His markings are so beautiful. My favorite video is the Christmas tree one, its so funny how he knocks down the ornaments. He is so adorable as a tiny kitten curled up in your lap too. I am also a crazy cat lady, here are a couple posts that feature my babies:

Keep the Sktechie pics and videos coming!
Sketchie is just too cute!! The mirror fighting is amazing!! haha His body reminds me of Tigger…and I totally mean that as a compliment!!
Those videos were great! I especially liked the christmas tree one! I have a yellow lab and whenever I take her for a walk she always has to start it off with part of the leash in her mouth like she’s walking me rather than the other way around
When she was a puppy she used to always eat with her back feet in her water dish 
I love it! These videos are hilaaarious! The mirror fight ones are awesome. I want a cat like this! I love Clarabelle, but she’s *such* a princess!
I remember the first three years I had my sweet kitty Montey….our xmas tree was bare for about 4 feet from the bottom up…we could only have ornaments on the top 3 feet of the tree because otherwise he thought it was there for him to whack with his paws…after that, never had any incidence….he would just curl up under the tree and sleep…it was very sweet. He never did try to climb it though…. hee hee…I miss him, and sure enjoyed your pics and videos…
Love Sketchie is SOOO cute! One of my cats is 25 pounds so he doesn’t fit into any small places. Yippee for Crazy Cat Ladies!

My best buddy: Constance.
Sketch is awesome.
ll what a crazy lil guy!
Oh my, Sketchie has the most expressive eyes!
I have a 9-year old cat, her name is Peashi, and she sleeps about 20 hours of the day. She has long legs like Sketchie, and when she isn’t sleeping, she likes to drink out of the bathroom sink. The door is usually closed, but she “stands” up and stretches her paw to open the door.
