Penny’s Tips Volume 31

Posted on by

Hi everyone! I have the perfect tip for you just in time for your holiday entertaining.

Hey Millie, smell this!

Smells like rotten eggs.

Sometimes wine may still taste good, but have a sulfur (rotten egg) smell. If you still want to drink it, just wash a penny and toss it in the glass. The penny needs to be from before 1982 though because they are copper. The copper does something that makes the smell go away. Sorry, I can’t explain the chemistry part, I am just a cat ,an adorable one though.

Dad let me borrow a bottle of his homemade wine for this photo shoot, but I can assure you his wine would never smell bad. And I am not drinking any, Mom put my treats in here.

I probably won’t get another turn on the blog before Christmas so I want to wish you all a Merry Christmas!

Hi everyone! Our friend Stunning Keisha just did a post for 12 New and Improved  Amazing Facts. My Mom let me answer being that she tried to kill me. She was trimming my toenails, she thinks I can walk better that way and not get snagged on the rug. Well, she cut too far and my blood gushed. I thought I was going to need a transfusion.

1. What is your favorite day of the week? I don’t have a favorite, all my days are the same.

2. What is the strangest thing you’ve ever eaten? I hope this doesn’t repulse you, but I like to eat vomit , not my own, that would be gross. My folks always hurry to clean it up though so I can’t have it, they can be so mean.

3. What small business would you like to start? I would like to start a mini book store to sell Prancie’s Prayer and maybe a sequel. I could have bookmarks, a coloring book and even a bobble head.

4. What is the best food on a hot summer day? Ice cream! Vanilla please.

5. When have you had a small decision bring big consequences? When I was homeless, I had to go to a door for help and I think I chose well.

6.What vegetable do you like? Celery. I love when my Dad’s hands smell like celery, I try to chew them.

7. Where are you most likely to be at 8:00 on a Saturday night? Napping either in the bedroom or on the chair in the living room.

8. What slang word or phrase do you like to use? I would not use improper language. I try to keep my purr impeccable.

9. Did you ever want to change your name? If so to what? I love my name, but I wouldn’t mind Princess in front of it.

10. What food do you crave? Chicken and ham.

11. If your life had a sound track what song would you pick for it? Sinatra’s My Way- I always get my way. I knock things down and take the phone off the hook until I get what I want which is usually a snack.

12. If you could have lunch with anyone living who would it be?  Nicolas Cage, my mom said I had to say that.

Sunday Selfies

Hi everyone. As you know , it has been a sad week in the blogging world.  And now another sweet kitty , Sister Precious of Brian’s World has left for The Rainbow Bridge. Our thoughts and prayers are with her family.

We are joining The Cat on My Head’s Sunday Selfie Blog Hop.

I hope you don’t mind, but this is a selfie taken last month. Mom couldn’t get her memory card to upload into the laptop. I hope she figures it out soon because we have a Chewy review to do. Plus I got a cool new bed I want to tell you about ( if you follow us on Instagram you already had a sneak peek).

I called my Grammie on Friday night, all by myself. My folks joke that I make phone calls because I take the landline off the hook when I want a snack. I have also taught Joanie this trick too. Well, I took it off the hook and hit redial and got my Grammie. I scared her a little though because she was already in bed- sorry Grammie.

Be sure to visit tomorrow. I am starting a giveaway for a copy of my book. Plus I will tell you where you can get one too.

 

Thankful Thursday

Hi everyone !

What’s the matter? You act like you just saw a ghost. Oh, that is right, mom was testing out her new Halloween decorations that arrived today from Grandin Road. Dad let her order them for her birthday. They are pretty cool.

We are joining Brian’s Thankful Thursday Blog Hop. Sammy is thankful he got his summer school certificate from Cat Scouts. He had to take 4 classes and pass 4 tests.

Here is my poem for Sammy’s Poetry Day to go with this photo:

Splashing in puddles is lots of fun
anyone can do it even a nun.
Such a  simple pleasure
that makes a memory to treasure.
Please pray and purr for Angel Phoebe’s Purrince, he has had a lot of health issues in his short life. To visit, click here.
Here are the Friendly Fill-Ins for tomorrow. Mom came up with the first two and our co-host, Lorianne of Four-Legged Furballs came up with second two.

2. Yesterday, I ____________________.

Hi everyone!  Today is Cat World Domination Day. Our friend, Summer continues the tradition Sparkle started so be sure to visit her for a party and an awesome giveaway. And she has provided us all with this cool badge.

We also want to thank Summer for taking food care of Moo while she visited. Moo was a naughty cow though. To see what happened, click here.

Now if you will excuse me, I am going to use Dad’s telescope to look for other planets to dominate.

Hi everyone. We are joining Brian’s Thankful Thursday Blog Hop. Mom is thankful that The Great One’s baby sister arrived a week ago. We will refer to her on the blog as The New One.

Here is my poem for Sammy’s Poetry Day based on this photo.

Years ago, before I lived in this house,
I went into the woods to find a mouse.
I came to a stop
when I spotted a mushroom top.
I was so hungry I almost took a bite
until something blue gave me a fright.
It yelled, “get away from my home”
it was not a gnome.
I apologized and got out of his turf
and now I am friends with a smurf.
When Mom was a kid, she collected these little blue creatures, so she still has a few left.
Mom also wants me to let everyone who donated to Buttons’ surgery to know she is working on those crocheted toys to send you. In case you missed her post, she will send anyone in the USA crocheted catnip toys that donates $15 to Buttons’ surgery. We know that money is tight so please share and pray. Click here.
Here are the Friendly Fill-Ins for tomorrow. Mom came up with the first two and Lorianne of Four-Legged Furballs came up with second two.
1. My favorite Disney character is ____________________.

 
2. If I could stay any age for life, I would choose to be age _________________.
 
3. _________ is my secret talent.

4. Life is like a _________.

We are joining The Cat on My Head’s Sunday Selfie Blog Hop.

I am also joining Stunning Keisha’s 12 amazing facts about ME that may surprise you.

1. What’s your favorite number?  5, that is the most treats Mom will give us at a time.

2. What is your dream job? Mouser, but there are no mice in this house.

3. What is something no one would ever guess about you? I like to take the phone off the hook several times a day ( my folks still have a landline- how lame).

4. A trait you have that people would be shocked to know about you? My rounded ears are from losing the tips when I got frostbite right before my folks found me.

5. Do you think aliens are real? I want to believe.I think I have seen too many episodes of The X-Files with Dad.

6. Can you use a hooded litter box? Not sure, Mom won’t buy one she says they are the equivalent of a port-a-potty.

7. Guilty pleasure? Shredding paper.

8. If the world ends (as you know it) do you want to survive? Not if my folks don’t survive.

9. Do you have any outstanding markings? My short ears. People ask if I am a Scottish Fold.
10. Favorite kitten game that you played? I can’t remember that far back.
11. Do you purr to yourself? I purr when I am eating so I guess I purr to myself.
12. Milk or Tuna juice? Both please.

Hi everyone. We are joining Brian’s Thankful Thursday Blog Hop.

Mom is thankful to all who donated to Button’s surgery. Also to those who shared, purred and prayed. We will keep you updated on his progress.

  Mom is also thankful that her talking Sheldon still works. Do you remember him? Phoebe wrote about him here.

The Great One likes to give Peppa Pig and her family a bath in the dog’s water dish at home ( when no one is looking). So Mom thought she would be a cool Auntie and gave her a big bowl of water for them to swim in along with some facecloths for beach towels. Well, Mom went in the kitchen for a refill on her coffee and when she came back into the living room The Great One handed her a wet Sheldon, I guess she thought he wanted to go swimming too- MOL! Mom put him in a bowl of rice to dry him out and he still talks.

Here is my poem for  Sammy’s Poetry Day.

Once again I went with a haiku to go with this photo.

Quiet, relaxing
no cell phone or internet
sit back and enjoy
And here are the Friendly Fill-Ins for tomorrow. I came up with the first two and Lorianne of Four-Legged Furballs came up with the second two.

Hi everyone. We are joining Brian’s Thankful Thursday Blog Hop.I am thankful that Dad let me have some ice cream from his ice cream sandwich.

And here is my poem for Sammy’s Poetry Day.We had to write a poem based on this photo.

Such a small house
barely room for a mouse.
When one has 13 cats,
you need room for all their hats.
They need places up high
and soft spots to lie.

Mom thought that house looked like a mini version of our house before they had the vinyl siding put on it in 2010.

This is what it looks like now:

There are some new blogs we have been enjoying that we want to tell you about in case you don’t know about them. Angelic Clowder and Cats are on Top.I am not being compensated, I just like to help new cat bloggers.

And here are The Friendly Fill-Ins for tomorrow. I came up with the first two and my co-host Lorianne of Four-Legged Furballs came up with the second two. As you know, Annie is taking a blogging break, please keep her in your prayers.

1.Happiness is _____________.

2. Ten years ago, I _________________.

3. _________ is the best medicine.

4. Most people don’t know that I _________.
