Tuesday with Cousin Ty

Here are some new pictures of Cousin Ty that our Uncle Jim sent us. Cousin Ty is really growing up fast!

It looks like Cousin Ty fell asleep while looking at the map! We cats don't need maps to find our way to the good stuff like Temptations, Stinky Goodness and Greenies!

Mancat Monday - Modified Meatloaf!

Tamir says ManCats like to sleep in the Meatloaf position....and hate the flashy box annoying them while they sleep!

Easy Like Sunday Morning!

Close the blinds Mom, I need to sleep!

Photo Hunters - View

This week's theme for Photo Hunters is View. Ellie likes the top spot on the Cat Tree because it has the best View!

Ellie also has a good view of what her sister is doing.

Sometimes you need to get a close-up View!

Allie says she likes the View better when they are both on the same level!

Funny Friday with Allie

Allie shows up in the strangest places!! Here she is (laser eyes and all!) in the trash can!

She's a "Green" Kitty and knows the ads go in the recycle bin on Monday so she's checking the ads for Temptations coupons before they disappear!

Thirsty Thursday with Cousin Trooper!!

Wordless Wednesday - Ellie and the Flashy Box

Maybe if I sleep on it, Mom won't be able to use it....oh no...she has a NEW flashy box!!

Two on Tuesday - Space Shuttles

We wanted to share some photos our Mom and Dad took on Sunday at Canaveral National Seashore

Something very unusual is happening at the Space Center. For the first time since 2001, 2 Space Shuttles are on the pad at the same time. (They also said this will probably never happen again) Shuttle At­lantis is to blast off Oct. 10 on a mission to repair the Hubble Space Telescope. Shuttle Endeavour is targeted for launch Nov. 12 to the International Space Sta­tion, but could be used to rescue the Atlantis crew if Atlantis is damaged during launch or in flight.

You can see one Shuttle on the right and one on the left
From a different location…the same two Shuttles

And from a totally different angle. one in the center foreground and the other slightly to its right.

We thought you might enjoy seeing an event that has not occurred very often and probably will not occur again!

ManCat Monday - Tamir

Hey Mom....whatcha doing? Got any Treats for me??? UPDATE ON our woofie friend ABBY: Thanks to effurycat and woofie for the prayers for Abby - she came home yesterday and is doing well !!

Friday was MEOW like a Pirate day and Samantha and Mr Tigger (Cap'n Kathryn Backstabber and Black Blood 'n Guts) from Life from a Cat's Perspective did a great job being Pirates!

At Elms in the Yard Missy is hiding in the bushes, see if you can find her!

Napping is a big theme too! CeCe at iInfidel is enjoying a snooze. At The Scratching Post the Maximum Leader doesn't seem to upset that the Staff is leaving for Vegas! Meanwhile, Ted at The Poor Mouth is not impressed that is bean's attention is on the tv and not him so he is going to nap in front of the TV!

Puff is looking quite floofy at Parker's blog and Hakuna is watching over her humans from up high.

It's been a busy week for the Gang at Strange Ranger - they have a visitor cat. His name is Bing and he lives next door. Speaking of visitors, there is an Evil Introoder at MANX MNEWS who looks lot like our pal Victor!

Tuxie Tuesday was adorable at the Mind of Mog

Puddy at A Byootaful life posed for the camera - but wasn't very happy about it.

The Attack of the Mantis had Sir Riley the Cute busy at Idyllic Dreams.

Kitty and woofie togetherness is always a nice thing! Here is proof that Pippin (woofie) and Tiger can play together!

A cool picture of a road sign Mom found online:

Daisy wrote: "I just wanted to let you know that my big sister, Pixie, has gone
to the Rainbow Bridge this morning. She had a long and brave struggle with
advanced cardiomyopathy. I hope there are many bananers at the
Rainbow Bridge for her. Tearfully, Daisy"

We're so sad to hear about Pixie. Please keep Daisy and her Mommy and Daddy in your purrayers.

Thankful Thursday

Wow we're so thankful to have so many kitties and beans who love our Blog! We've received a couple of great awards in the last couple of weeks and Mom is going to make a new page just for our super awards! We love effurycat's blog and had a hard time choosing who to send each award to.



smokey-n-tiger from LoL Cats gave us this I love your Blog Award. Since we passed this award to seven kitties earlier this week, and we know that a lot of our furpals have already received the award, we're going to pass it along to all the kitties (and beans) that read our blog and have not gotten this super award yet. Thank you so much for this award!




Please stop by LoL Cats and visit with smokey-n-tiger. We know you'll love their blog as much as we do!!




Wonderful Grrreta and Our Floofy pal Sweet Praline awarded us the Brillante Weblog award. Grreta used to be a shop cat at an auto repair and is now a very well loved kitty with a wonderful forever home. Praline is a beautiful kitty who is also part of the Floof and Fur Blog. Please stop by and visit both and say hi!

We're sending the Brillante Weblog award to : Tybalt, Lord Jaders on the Loose, China Cat, Cattitude, Laila and Minchie, Willie and the cool kitties at Forty Paws

We also received and award from Purrprints for "Friends FurEver -- Thanks for adorable floofiness" Check out Purrprints blog and the great items they have in their Etsy shop!

Here are the rules:
"The rules are pretty standard ones: link to the blog who gave you the award, plus the (up to 7) blogs you're awarding it to, and display the award on your blog if you want (though please don't use the image for anything un-award-related, since it is from one of my original drawings. Oh, and you probably don't want to award it to a blog that has nothing to do with cats because, really, you'd just confuse the poor thing)."

We're sending this one to Derby, Angus Mhor, Miss Peach, Team Tabby, Perfectly Parker, Cats~Goats~Quotes, and Kazoku Neko

Thanks to everyone and effurycat who sent these super awards to us! We really appreciate your thoughtfulness!!

Sniffie says:
ps- since Mom has to go to work early, she helped us prepared this post last night. Since then our pal tahtimbo at Everyday Living has passed another award to us! We'll be posting that award later!!
