Carnival of the Cats #462
Finally, Mog gives me something to do sides sleep, eat, roll on the concrete and get love.
I lay in sunpuddles too.
Cats and cat toys, what could be a more purrfect combination? These colorful feather toys are tops. I approve.
Roamer enjoyes the almost purrfect Sunday, would be more purrfect if someone adopted him.
Nikita reports on cat show contestants, that could get dangerous. In Mog’s case it did. It’s a long story, maybe she’ll tell it sometime.
Not to be content with just a few, here’s more. They do the most amazing things. I wouldn’t do that mind you, napping and getting petted are my thing.
Elvira reports on the doings of her human, seems he can learn new tricks.
Now Snorfy here knows how to do it right, relaxing. I dig it.
What does Maddie do when it snows, why lay in sunpuddles. Inside.
Man, these cats know how to live, well Samantha does. Clementine is a bit more adventurous.
Thanks all for entering. Nikita and Elvira host next week so send in those submissions.
Secret Paws
Nothing like getting presents to get me out of my malaise of non-posting. So my life is boring, consisting of spending lots of time in Mog’s lap getting love, eating, sleeping and the daily roll on the concrete outside. Now I spend my time rolling in ‘nip, guarding my goodies, eating fancy cat food and getting love. No rolling outside as it has been raining last few days and I don’t like getting wet. On to the gifts. See it came in this fancy bag from Katie.
Filled with lots of tissue paper which Mog removed and I played with.
Here I am peeking at the loot.
The goodies spread out all nice.
The mousies were filled with ‘nip so I had a good roll.
Mog also spread some on the floor for me to roll in as I do so like that. Even gave me one of the cans of kitty food, yum!
I love my gifts, thank you Katie for the best Secret Paws gifts ever.
Carnival of the Cats #447
Finally tore Mog away from petting me to actually help me with the tough stuff like typing. I talk, she types. It works.
And since I am an indoor cat except when I go out to take a roll then quickly run back inside, I need amusement. Hint, Mog, you aren’t cutting it. Try some of these tips.
Pompon is dog-gone cute considering the cat is dog-tired.
Luna chases an Angry Bird, something the small human enjoys, the bird that is. MOL!
Samantha remembers fondly Mr. Tigger who up and disappeared a while back. We all miss him.
Maddie does chores, imagine putting the kitty to work. The utter gall! Hope her human treats her well after doing all that hard work.
Nikita is a bit under-the-weather today, being all sickly and boney. Purrs. No pics either as they are still computerless.
Thanks all that entered. Next week’s host is none other than my lovable, deceased son, Meowza. No rest for the dead, he hosted Weekend Cat Blogging this week. Here we were, as close as we got without ripping each other to shreds.
LiveSTRONG Day
It’s that time of year when we remember those we lost to the big C. Pic reminds me of Meowza. No idea what he died from thou. Poppy Vic died from it, that’s Ann’s husband. She made the graphics too. Purrs and purrayers to them and the others lost to this dreadful disease.
Carnival of the Cats #442
I’m running a little late here, had to get my loving which stretched into hours. I’m not a greedy cat… much!
Snorfy has a big adventure, one I never had. Thankfully, being a lady cat has it’s advantages. Or not as Mog reminds me. Why I don’t like tummy rubs.
Jack III is up for adoption, one handsome tuxie. Any takers?
Luna is over her scare, good thing too, and posing pretty on a color coordinated sofa. That’s the way to go Mog so you won’t have to always wash the slipcovers.
Moving to Texas, Nikita and Elvira, lucky cats. Looks to be some pretty posh digs too. I expect a full report, copiously illustrated, one you arrive there.
Like this one with Samantha and Mr. Tigger, lots of lovely photos.
They be missing Mom Cathy and Gentleman Beau, so many going to the bridge this year including my Meowza. He’s happy there, says they are too.
A word on submissions, sadly we had to omit one due to offensive language. We kitties and our beans want a place to visit that even small beans would be comfortable as they love us kitties too.
Next week’s carnival will be at Kashim, Othello and Salome.
Now I’m off to convince Mog to do a little shopping. For me natch.
Easy Like Sunday Morning
I like to look out and do on occasion pull the curtains open when Mog closes them. Then too, I just like to stretch my claws on the curtains. Mog doesn’t like that. Seems she remembers what we, mostly Izzy, did to them.
Luna is hosting the carnival later today. Might be small as Blog Carnival is down.
Carnival of the Cats #431
Finally I post, would be nice if Mog let me post between carnivals but I digress. She had to tear herself away from petting me long enough to help me as I am not so good at typing.
What you think I’d have a carnival without showing off, never! Here I am with the one surviving flower in Meowza’s dirt patch. He had that effect on flowers. Rolled them dead. But I digress, on to the carnival.
First up, ICS, not a disease as some humans might think, is a no-kill shelter which deserves a looksee if you live in Indiana. Still, worthy of support as Mog is wont to do at times.
Luna never fails to enchant the humans with their morning ritual. Her ritual too. We cats are fond of our little rituals, mine being kneading Mog.
We missed National No Kill Day but Nikita didn’t. Think he’ll have to add another shelter to his list.
Nikita and Elvira bring us all the news fit to mew over. All feline all the time. I approve.
Maddie doesn’t like the flashy much, interrupts her nap but does show off her good side.
Violet enjoys some Father’s Day sun puddles and Moosey got an award. Best check it out in case you’re the lucky recipient of one yourself.
Happy Father’s Day all you humans. Now go love a cat.
Next week’s host is none other than my son Meowza. Being dead doesn’t get him out of this gig, not even.
Carnival of the Cats #425
Is here this day after Cinco de Mayo. I even posted about it mostly cause I attended and enjoyed KC’s fabulous party.
Moosey and Sammy wish everyone a happy and festive Cinco de Mayo. They went so far as to wear sombreros for the occasion, me not so much.
Jazmin get all intellectual on us, playing with word games. I’m impressed.
Nikita goes dumpster diving, really? Well he looked. Wonder what he’ll do about his find.
He and his sister, Elvira, also attended KC’s pawsome party and tell about it in lovingly smashed detail. Meowgaritas to blame, heh. I stuck with the ‘nip.
John remembers Ivy with a lovely little photo spread. She had gone to the bridge before Meowza and Nardo who he mentions. Thanks. Nardo, Edloe, Piper and Mr Frisky are Lair’s cats, all gone to the bridge, all missed terribly here. They got Mog into cat blogging with help from me. After all I gave birth to Meowza. It is good to remember, good we have the photos, good to share love for our kitties.
Luna is named after the moon and both are displayed beautifully. Mog saw the moon but, in her lack of wisdom, failed to take a pic. She does take pics of me thou and that’s what counts.
Why must she share that photo? It makes my butt look big. OK, I can take a hint, not getting into Meowza’s stash of canned kitty food except for the occasional treat.
Speaking of, he posted from the other side. Sounds nice over there but I’m in no hurry. I like it here.
But if you are considering taking your cat on a trip of the more mundane, vacation variety, here’s some worthwhile tips. Found out flying by plane is expensive even for cats.
Mog, in her infinite slowness, finally announced his passing on her blogger blog and announced to the whole world that I am working today. Sunday is supposed to be a day of rest.
Samantha, Clementine and Maverick celebrate Cinco deo Mayo with a Weekend Cat Blogging post filled with festive kitties.
I’m done for now unless there are more entries. You can even leave links in comments, I’m not fussy. To clarify, in that I’m not fussy, now everything else.
Hosting next week, Meowza’s girlfriend, Salome and siblings Kashim and Othello.
Cinco de Mayo
I don’t usually celebrate this but KC is having the most pawsome party. Lots of yummy food and ‘nip to roll in. I’m so ready.
And on Caturday too, perfect combination. Tomorrow I host the carnival, maybe a hung over carnival but a carnival none the less. So submit kitties. Email carnivalofthecats(at)gmail.com.
Meowza Died
Mog wrote about it on her blog so I didn’t feel the need. Coming to grips with it, no one to hiss at, fight with, take my pillow, take my spot on Mog’s lap, take time away from loving me. She’s given me lots of love to make up for my loss.
Not my fault either, just saying in case anyone thinks I had anything to do with it.
Nice tribute thou.
