Valentine’s Toys for Your Cat and a Giveaway!

Posted on by

Hi everyone! Poor Penny doesn’t get to give her tip today, but we are having a giveaway.

First off, I wanted to show you a deal I found at Michael’s Craft store.

  These were regularly $4.99, but were 40% off. There are 12 small felt hearts and 3 larger ones. They seem to be as well made as ones I have seen for cats. I am going to pull the small letters off the larger ones for safety though. I sprayed them with catnip spray and now I have 15 cat toys.

Joanie is here to display the items on our Valentine’s giveaway. A catnip mat, 3 nip knot toys and 3 of the felt hearts. We are also including an adorable little spoon that looks like a cat and hangs on the edge of your mug. To enter, just comment on this post before 9PM EST on Wednesday. Prancie will announce the winner on Thursday. It is open to everyone. Joanie is not included 🙂

 

 

A Puzzling Saturday

It has been said that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery so Colehaus Cats please take this as a compliment. I have been enjoying the puzzles of their cats on their blog so I decided to make one of Phoebe in her famous bikini.

How Much Do You Know About Cats?

Hi everyone! I have a quiz for you today. I was recently contacted by The Pet Community blog and offered a quiz to share. It is only 10 questions and I figured I would ace it being that I live with so many cats, but I got about 4 correct out of 10. I thought it would be fun to share with all of you cat lovers. Phoebe is going to have a contest based on the quiz on Thursday. Here is the link to the quiz:

Could you please purr and pray for my hubby? He hasn’t been feeling well and I finally got him to go the Doctor today , then he got sent for an ultrasound of his leg. He has a deep vein thrombosis ( blood clot) in his leg. He had one in the same leg 8 years ago.

In other news, I also had an appointment today for my allergy shot. The Doctor looked in my ears and I have 2 cat hairs on one of my ear drums- I assume they are Sammy’s being that he sleeps on my head 🙂

 

 

We Missed a Gift

Hi everyone! I am attempting to put away all our Christmas decorations. I can’t bring myself to take the tree down yet though. I did find another gift for the kitties that they somehow missed.

Noel got to open it

  It is a water activated fish

Sammy checked it out, but had no interest after a few seconds.

And look who is hogging it. Little Penny the toy hoarder.

It moves around like a real fish, but no one tried to scoop it out. Does anyone else have one of these ? If so, does your cat play with it?

 

It’s Monday! What Are YOU Reading?

Hi everyone! Today we are joining Comedy Plus’ Awww…..Mondays blog hop and The Book Date’s It’s Monday What Are YOU Reading? blog hop.

  Millie is showing off the new pole Grammie got him and Penny for the kitchen. I was thrilled when I found out that I won Cat Chat with Caren and Cody’s giveaway for Brain Games for Cats by Claire Arrowsmith. It was like getting an extra Christmas gift.

This fun book is filled with games for active cats and those that are less active. Apparently you can teach your cat to wave and sit, I have yet to try that- I will let you know how that goes. I am especially interested in teaching Prancie to ring a bell. We have a bell on the nightstand that she rings in the morning by knocking it to the floor, but I would like to teach her how to ring it the proper way like Summer does.

I hope to do more reading now that the holidays are past us. I did write an article for The Daily Mewz about some excellent Christmas books with cats in them. I know Christmas is gone by, but if you want to extend it, you could read some of these. Click here.

Hi everyone! This week for Athena’s Caturday Art Blog Hop we made a meme. Our friend Savannah is looking for memes for her blog on Friday. Yesterday, she featured one of Joanie’s memes-click here to see it.

You can make memes on several editing sites. We went to the I Can Haz Cheezburger site to make this one of Sammy.

You should give it a try and send them to Savvy.

We also want to tell you about our friend, Billy the Time Cat. He is sending his famous scarf out for anyone to try. You don’t have to have a blog, you can show your photo on Twitter, Facebook or Instagram. Click here to learn more about how to join in the fun.

And the question for P.S. Annie’s 19-Somethin Challenge is Do you Remember where you were when the Space Shuttle Challenger exploded? I am ashamed to say that I haven’t a clue.

Phoebe will see you tomorrow.
