Saturday Fun
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.
Are You a Good Mouser?
Hi everyone! I know there are a lot of good mouse hunters out there so I thought I would tell you about a contest that VictorPest is having, there are 3 prizes and the top one is $500- think of all the catnip you could buy with that. All you need to do is submit a 15-20 second video of your cat mouse hunting , entries are open until September 15th. Click here to go to the entry form. This is our entry:
Tomorrow we are joining a September Challenge with a question a day about our teen years, it sounds like fun. Here is the link if you want to check it out.
Don’t forget that Winnie’s Wish still has an auction running with all kinds of great items.
Our Winnings!
Hi everyone! Mom is letting me write today too so I can tell you all about the great swag we won from Savannah. Thank you Savannah for sharing your loot with us and thank you to Cupcake, the Jack Russell that had won, but told Savvy to pass it to the next in line.
This bag was filled with goodies! Mom thought she could have the bag, but we decided it makes a nice bed.
Look at all this loot!
Sammy likes the wand toy the best
and so does Brody.
Miss Piggy Joanie claimed these Wellness Kittles Tuna and Cranberry treats.
She wanted these socks too until I explained they are for chairs so they won’t scratch the floor.
KaTwo loves the laser
There were 2 shirts for Dad, this one and a Blog Paws one.
Penny was happy with the box
and this tin filled with nip is mine all mine.
There was a lot more stuff too like a Hauspanther nip toy and cardboard toys too! And there was even a little bottle of vodka too- Mom and Dad are going to use it when they make horseradish, it keeps it better than vinegar does. There was room spray, hairball medicine, lots of food samples, can covers and a notebook for Mom. Thank you!
Savannah shared a story about a Momma Kat and her kittens in need of a home. It is sad, but the ending was good. Please visit and spread the word to help them get forever homes. Click here
I hope my Grammie comes to visit me soon, I love her so very much!
Toy Tuesday
Hi everyone! I thought it would be fun to have a little contest today. My Mom and I babysit on Thursday and Friday for my great-niece ( her great grand-daughter). We have been having a little trouble figuring out baby toys from cat and dog toys. The other day, one was in the dog’s toy basket and I picked it out. My Mom said, “that is Nora’s , give it to her” so I did and the dog was more than happy to play with it. Turns out it was a baby toy, one of the cats had knocked it off the counter into the dog’s toy basket.
Another day, I asked my niece why the baby was playing with a cat toy. She said she even double checked the tag to be sure it was a baby toy.
I have 3 photos below, the first person to identify all 3 toys correctly will win some crocheted catnip toys ( for cats). Just list the number and if you think it is a dog, cat or baby toy. Good Luck! It is trickier than it looks.

3Moose Monday
Hi everyone! Today is Moose Monday. A few months ago when the Canadian Cats returned my bikini they sent us a moose. 
He is cute, isn’t he? Mom wanted them to send cow kitty, but this guy is pretty nice. He came like this for easy travel: 
Thank you Kali and Shoko.
OK, I said you were cute, but back off, I have a boyfriend.
The funny thing is, my folks have never seen a moose around our house. They have seen foxes, turkeys, deer, coyotes and even a bear. Then last week, Dad saw a moose walking down the road. I guess this guy told his friends this was a moose friendly area.
Today is the day to reveal our theme for the April A-Z challenge. Our theme is cat books, Mom already has her list ready and the titles or the author’s last name will start with the letter of the day. On one day, the main kitty’s name in the book is the letter because X is a toughie. There is still time to sign up for the challenge: click here
Tomorrow we have a fun game planned so please stop by.
Treats Tuesday
Happy Tuesday everyone! We have more photos from Christmas to share, these are all about treats.

Inspire Me Monday
Happy Monday everyone! You all know how we love to hop, well, this week we are hopping on Monday too. Inspire Me Monday is a fun hop hosted by Create with Joy to display your creativity. If you are looking for some crafts and recipes be sure to check it out. 
I had fun torturing dressing the kitties for Thanksgiving photo shoots this weekend. I crocheted little pilgrim hats for them.
I found the instructions on Ravelry ( I combined 2 patterns). I have one pattern on Ravelry that I designed for the catnip turkey legs. Here is the link in case you want to crochet some. 
Phoebe will be starting a giveaway Thursday that includes a turkey leg and a pilgrim hat .
Poor Snowball still has no boyfriend. 
MEME Monday
Happy Monday everyone! A very happy Monday, my niece and her hubby welcomed their daughter Rylee yesterday. I am not posting photos, but if you are my Facebook friend, I did share their photos on my page.
Mondays are fun and games day so I thought I would tell you about a fun blogging challenge coming up. I know a lot of you love to cook so you may want to sign up for a Christmas Recipe Exchange hosted by Herding Cats and Burning Soup
Phoebe made a MEME on the LOL Cats site 
She found my new costume stash for next year. Great deals at CVS and Michael’s Craft Store.

NEMO Cat Show
Happy Monday everyone! Monday is fun and games day here so I will tell you about all the fun I had at the NEMO ( New England Meow Outfit) cat show yesterday. I went to the same show last year, it as my first cat show ever, in case you missed that post, here it is: Cat Show
Last year I dragged my Mom and as much as she loves my cats, it wasn’t her thing. This year, I met another Cat blogger there which made it a lot more fun, it was Carol from Peaches and Paprika
I will have to wait until another post to show our photo together because I forgot to ask her if she minded if I showed it. If you haven’t checked out her blog, please do, she is an amazing photographer and a very nice person too.
Last year, I got to meet Jake and his Mom of Life with Abys . She is very creative and comes up with the best costumes for the cat/owner costume contest. Jake is so smart, she had just dressed him and he decided to go potty, so he got in his cage and took off his pants to go- I wouldn’t have believed it if I didn’t see it for myself. Here he is in his costume: 
A red shirt and khakis- can anyone guess who Jake was? Carol got better photos so I hope to get a photo of Jake and his Mom from her.
There were also a lot of vendors with great prices on cat toys. We really loved this one lady’s paintings: 
( she was even sweet enough to pose)
She doesn’t have a website, but her name is Suzan and she can be reached at dudulasuzan@yahoo.com Her prices were good and she also does custom paintings too.
There was a table with raffle items so I bought 3 tickets and won something 🙂 A book called All Cats Have Asperger’s, a necklace and a small plaque. I hope to get to more cat shows soon. It is so fun to be near so many cat loving people and cats.
