Fat Tuesday

Posted on by

Hi everyone! Today is Mardi Gras so several of my kitties have agreed to pose with beads. First though, Joanie wants to tell you about her new food. I know dry food is not recommended, but that is all Joanie can eat. She has yacked up every canned food I tried on her and she tends to eat the dry too fast and yack that up too. When my friend told me about PawTree and sent me a sample for Joanie I was thrilled.

*Disclosure: I was sent a sample of PawTree Real Chicken Recipe for cats. I was not asked to do a review, but I am choosing to. All opinions are my own.

As you can see in the photo, the pieces are small. She usually eats out of a bowl, but I thought it would be easier to see the food this way. It is made in the USA. No corn, wheat or soy. You can check out all the facts by clicking here. The link goes directly to my friend’s PawTree page so she can get a commission on sales. They have several other flavors too and canned food which I will be ordering for Joanie to test soon.  Joanie has been eating this for a few weeks and so far, no yacking- knock on wood , 3 times.My only complaint is shipping costs, but Joanie is worth it. Now on to the beads!

Who wore them best? No one can top Angel Lucy from 2015. She earned her beads.

Hi everyone! We are joining Athena’s Caturday Art Blog Hop and The Pet Parade. We are also joining the Dr. Seuss Blog Hop hosted by LLB Our Backyard.

 

I thought we would do another giveaway with the mat I made on Monday. Penny wanted to keep it, but I convinced her that she has more than enough mats. To enter, leave a comment on this post by 9 PM ( EST) on Sunday. Sorry I can only afford shipping to US residents.

Mr. and Mrs. Potato Head wanted in on the fun too. I made a puzzle of them, click below to play.

Happy 3rd Gotcha Day Brody!

I am actually a few days late in celebrating Brody’s Gotcha Day. Thank you to Pipo’s Petcretary for this beautiful card ( and reminding me of his special day).

Here is a link to his first post and second post. I was helping an older couple about a mile away to TNR ferals in their yard. Turns out he wasn’t really feral, probably a stray.  It took a while, but now he is a proper house cat and even has a friend in Trouble. And KaTwo even  protects him when Sammy tries to fight with him.

Hi everyone! We are joining Comedy Plus’ Awww….Mondays and Mewsic Moves Me (hosted by Curious as a Cathy,Xmas Dolly, JAmerican Spice and Stacy Uncorked.) The mewsic theme for the entire month of December is Christmas music so we will be participating every week.

This song has been stuck in my head since I first heard it at The Great One’s Christmas dance show. Let me know if it gives you an ear worm.

Sia’s Candy Cane Lane-

Thank you to all who sent Christmas cards by email and snail mail. I am displaying them today. I apologize if I missed any.

 

To heck with milk, we are giving Santa what he really needs to stay awake all night long.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Hi everyone! Happy Thanksgiving to everyone in the USA. Hi everyone! We are joining Brian’s Thankful Thursday Blog Hop. I am thankful to be spending the day with my hubby, mom and kitties. I am also thankful that almost all the veggies we are having are ones my hubby grew. And I am thankful for all of you reading this. I appreciate your friendship.

Here is our poem for Sammy’s Poetry Day based on this cute photo. I let my Sammy write this one being that his poem last week was so well received.

Planting a garden can be fun
make sure it gets lots of sun.
The flowers are good for the bees,
but watch out, this garden is going to sneeze!
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.
1. Black Friday _________________________________.
 
2. A pet peeve of mine at this time of year is ___________________________.
 
3. ‘Tis the season for _________.

4. I never jumped on the _________ bandwagon.
Happy Thanksgiving!!!!

Hi everyone! Happy Halloween! Thank you for all who made guesses in our 3 day contest. And the winner is Lone Star Cats with 13 out of 14 correct. I am most impressed they knew Gremmie was Rambo ( just like in Gremlins 2).

Here are the correct answers:

Runaway Bride

Bring it On

Rambo

Toy Story

Nine Lives

Julie and Julia

O Brother Where Arte Though

Many of you thought Prancie might be Harry Potter because of the scarf. I actually made it for Sammy to be Harry Pawter back in 2014.

And we still have our Jack O’ Lantern from 2014 from sweet  Angel Nellie.

Remember Me Thursday

Posted on by

HI everyone! Today is a very special day, Remember Me Thursday. Now in the sixth year, it is a day to remember all those pets in shelters. Our friends at Lola The Rescued Cat and Three Chatty Cats are hosting the blog hop.

Three of my current kitties came from shelters, everyone else was given to me or just showed up.

Back in 2010, I went to adopt Sammy not knowing he had a sibling. The minute i saw her, I had to adopt her too. It still bothers me that their 3rd sibling had already been adopted. They had been together for almost 5 years at that point and it breaks my heart to see families separated ( human and fur).

My KaChoo went to the Rainbow Bridge in 2010 and I wanted another mitted tabby so I searched Petfinder and found Little Tiger in 2012. I renamed her KaTwo. I know why she was at the shelter for 2 years, because she has feline hyperesthesia. She can seem a bit scary when she is having a fit, chasing her tail, but most of the time, she is very sweet and loving.

My Angel Snowball also came from the same shelter. I saw her in 2012 and kept checking on her and was finally able to adopt her in 2013. Sadly, she had congestive heart failure and left us last year. She was from a hoarding situation and not into people, but she loved her Phoebe.

We are joining Brian’s Thankful Thursday Blog Hop I am thankful for all the kitties I just wrote about and all that I have been blessed with.

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

In this photo we see an older couple,
perhaps their bodies are no longer supple.
If you ask him what he sees, his eyes will open wide
and he will tell you that is his young bride.
If you ask her about her mate
she’ll tell you from day one she knew it was fate.
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.
1. A  ________________ will ___________________.
 
2. The best time of the day is __________________.
3. _________ is not my strong suit.
4. It’s all fun and games until _________.
And the winner of Prancie’s Prayer is Laila! I am having a Goodread giveaway starting on the 29th, I will post a link soon.
