Hi everyone! We are joining Comedy Plus’ Awww….Mondays. Thank you to everyone who has donated to Colehaus Cats and thank you to those praying and to all who shared yesterday’s post. I still have a Dr. Who catnip mat, one of Prancie’s books and several of Emmy’s available to anyone that donates at least $10. See yesterday’s post for details.
Today we want to wish my hubby a happy birthday! He is a great cat Dad.
He naps with the cats-
And is always willing to share his lunch with them too.
Hi everyone! We are joining Comedy Plus’ Awww….Mondays That is all we are joining this week because I have a cold and I am all tired out from the Christmas festivities.
As many of you know, Prancie appeared at our outdoor nativity in January 2005. It used to be on the other side of the house at a door we rarely use. This year, we put it by the main entrance to our house. Knowing it was going to be Prancie’s last Christmas, my hubby wanted a photo of her out there. She wanted no part of it and made for the house as quickly as possible, but I got one decent shot.
If you are not familiar with her book, you can click here to see it on Amazon.
Penny will be here with an important tip tomorrow. Plus she will be modeling her New Year’s Eve gown.
This week, I am joining Create with Joy’s Inspire me Monday and Comedy Plus’ Awww…. Mondays. I know several of you already scored the Advent Calendar for Cats at Trader Joe’s. I was lucky to get one the other day too. It is for Prancie
At $5.99/each, I can’t get one for all my cats. I figure she puts up with fluids twice a day and all her meds, she deserves it the most.
Don’t worry, the other eleven kitties will not be excluded. I still have the Advent Calendar I made for them back in 2014.
Here is a refresher on how to make one for your kitties. All you need is a mini muffin pan with 24 spaces, scrapbook paper and a bag of treats.
Just cut out 24 circles ( hubby cut them for me). Then number them 1-24, add treats to each space and cover them. Then hide it from the kitties or they will eat them all on day 1.
Penny will be here tomorrow with another money saving tip for the holidays.

Hi everyone! We are joining Comedy Plus’ Awww….Mondays and Book Date’s It’s Monday What are YOU Reading?
My librarian is a fellow cat lover so she always sets aside cat books for me. She recently set aside two books for me by Georgia Dunn. She draws her own comics based on her three cats.
Sammy hopes he is awwww…worthy enough for you.
Hi everyone! Today Joanie and Sammy turn 14!
Thank you to Pipo’s Petcretary for this great card:
And to Teddy for this adorable card:
We are also joining the Pet Photo Fails Blog Hop hosted by Melissa’s Mochas, Mysteries and Meows in memory of Roby Sweet.
This was a photo fail of Emmy when I tried to have her pose with the pirate day giveaway prizes. We are also joining Comedy Plus’ Awww….Mondays blog hop.
Hi everyone! I have a great book to review today. At the end of the post, I have an update on Noel and Prancie and the winner of the Pirate giveaway.
*Disclosure- I was given a copy of The Little Book of Bob: Life Lessons from a Street-wise Cat by James Bowen in exchange for a fair review. All opinions are my own.
I am sure you have all heard of Bob. You have probably read A Street Cat Named Bob or have seen the film. As you know, Bob is an English cat that rescued his human at the same time his human rescued him. This book is short, only 166 pages, but filled with wisdom. The wisdom of Bob and what he has taught James in their years together.
Prancie thinks they may be cousins
I think we would all agree that our cats have taught us how to appreciate life. Bob has done the same for James. Some things he writes about are Our happiness lies within and believe in yourself. He goes on to explain how Bob taught these lessons.
I highly recommend this book for all fans of Bob and cat lovers in general. Release date is October 22nd, you can pre-order on Amazon, click here.

The winners of The Pirate Day giveaway are Charlee and Chaplin of Oceanside Animals. Congratulations!
Noel is hanging in there still. We got very bad news about Prancie this past Friday. The ultrasound showed a tumor on her liver and her gallbladder. The internist feels it is cancer, but the only way to be sure is biopsy and she is to frail for that. She is on prednisone and continuing with fluids. We are praying it buys several months of time. Our hearts are broken. We can’t imagine a world without Prancie in it.
I will try to blog on Thursday and Friday all depending how these two are doing.
Hi everyone! I am only joining one hop today, Comedy Plus’ Awww….Mondays
Trouble likes the hidey hole at the bottom of the cat tree.
Before we go, we want to give our condolences to the families of some friends we lost recently.
Crotchety Cougar and Cat Scout, Ali left for the Bridge on Friday. You can visit her family at her blog, click here.
And Caster of Kitty Cat Chronicles left for the Bridge at the very young age of 6 years old. You can visit his family, click here.
Hi everyone! I am only joining one hop today, Comedy Plus’ Awww….Mondays.
I have had a lot of helpers with my snowflakes. I am on #93. So close to 100, but the ones at the end are the toughest and take longer. Prancie is helping today. Trouble is banned from helping because she chews through my thread.
I am reading more Happiness books, but Emmy is not happy about it.
