Thankful Thursday - a cool award

2012-01-26T00:01:00.004-05:00

Our pal Nellie from A Cat From Hell gave us this pawsome (no pun intended) award!! Nellie lives with Kozmo and the slobbery sisters! If you haven't visited their blog, you really should. You won't be sorry.

We know a few of our pals have gotten this award already but we hope we've picked three that haven't. In fact, we're picking all woofies because we know many of our kitty pals might not know them.

The OP pack from The Chronical of Woos. If you haven't met these pawsome woofies, you really need to go check them out!

Da Weenies of Florida. Smaller woofies, but just as much fun to follow.

Teddy's Tales - Mom is partial to American Eskimo woofies since her first woofie Katie was an Eskie. You'll enjoy reading the adventures of Teddy and Sierra.

A big thank you again to Nellie for the great award!!!

Wildlife Wednesday!

NOTE: Somehow Mom messed up and this posted early (yesterday). We need to dock her pay!

Mom and Dad took a trip to the Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge.

We didn't expect much. Usually she only gets photos like this (no, he's not real).

The first picture she took was this turtle....

Then she and Dad saw all of these ~~tasty~~ cool fev-vers

They were pretty noisy......here's a short video...

This guy was really purrty....

After a while they spotted this guy!!

and then they saw these two GINORMOUS 'gators!!

Check out these toesies!

We hope you enjoyed Mom and Dad's trip to the Merritt Island Wildlife Refuge.

ManCat Monday - Show Us Your Yawn Tabby Club

2012-01-23T00:01:00.008-05:00

I'm so excited today because I've joined the Tabby Cat Club

Here's what the club info says:

"This blog is for Tabby Cats providing a fun place to hang out together and have a special place to post. All Tabbies are invited to join."

I'm looking forward to lots of fun events. The first one is today - Show Us Your Yawn. Here's mine!!

This isn't my biggest yawn, but it shows my pawsome whiskers and some very sharp claws!!

Thanks to all of my friends at the Tabby Cat Club! If you're a tabby and you haven't joined....what are you waiting for?

Please keep Auntie El in your prayers today. She gets the result of her Cat scan and Cousin Trooper would like us all to purr and pray for a good result.

Answer your Cat's Questions Day!

2012-01-22T00:01:00.005-05:00

From the Official Holidaypedia Page:

Answer Your Cat's Question Day
Ever wonder what your cat's really thinking when he's staring at you? Well today's the day to seriously consider what is that's on your cat's mind? In observance of Answer Your Cat's Question Day, take a moment to gaze into your cat's eyes, chitter-chatter with him or her, observe it's cute body language and ask yourself, "Just what is this cat saying to me?" I'll bet you'll find the answer...

Observed: January 22, annually

Since today is National Answer your Cat's Questions Day. We have a few questions for Mom and we know she can't ignore them today.

1. Why don't we have Stinky Goodness all day long? We think it should be available 24/7.

2. We like to sleep on your pillow, why do you think your head should be there???

3. Can we sell the woofies on Ebay? We'll split the green papers with you.

4. Why do you feel the need to capture effurything we do with the flashy box? We would like privacy sometimes...how would you like it if we photographed you on the human litterbox???

5. Toys are important. We are cats. Everything is a toy for us. Why don't you understand that?

6. Chairs....see question #5.

7. Napping is a major sport for us, why don't you beans nap more?

8. Why do you try to close the bathroom door? Don't you understand that we worry that you could be in danger in there and we might have to save you from being flushed away???

9. Why do you use that silly voice when you talk to us? We don't change our meow when we speak to you.

10. . About #9.....why don't you meow? Why should WE learn a different language??

11. We like to whap things. Why don't you put more things on the counter for us to whap?

12. When can we do this again?

So what are you going to ask YOUR beans???

Now that the Christmas things are put away, it's time to snuggle up on my cute toes and take a nap. All that snoopervising was very tiring!

For those of you who asked about Sparky from yesterday's post....

Auntie El's nephew was visiting her with his friend Dave. Sparky belongs to Dave's Mom. They were all on their way to North Carolina to spend the winter there and stopped by Auntie El's for a visit.

ManCat Monday - Cousin Trooper has a ManCat visitor

2012-01-09T00:01:00.007-05:00

Hi furriends, Cousin Trooper here. Mom and I had a ManCat come visit us this week! We'd like to introduce you to Sparky.

Since I like to be an "only" ManCat, we decided that Sparky and I wouldn't exactly "meet" but I did put out my welcome mat for him.

Doesn't Sparky have a dashing ManCatly face?

To make him feel more comfortable at our house, we gave him some toys and a cool bed.

Sparky quickly learned that nothing is sacred when the flashy box is around.....even grooming!

Sparky really loved the fev-ver toys...

"I can get that tasty looking fev-ver" (biggify to get the full effect!)

We hope you enjoyed meeting Sparky today! He sure is a sweet ManCat!

ManCat Monday - what Santa didn't see

2012-01-02T00:01:00.000-05:00

Now that Santa is safely back at the North Pole and we're pretty sure he won't take our presents back, I wanted to share something that happened before Christmas.

As a good ManCat I was resting on the bed, minding my own business. I could tell trouble was brewing behind me though.....

Sure enough......SMACKDOWN!

Good ManCat and brofur that I am, I didn't tell Santa!

Happy New Year 2012!

2012-01-01T00:01:00.002-05:00

2011-12-30T00:01:00.003-05:00

Since our dear, sweet Sniffie left us in 2009 we've done Flashback Femme Friday every week. Mom was going to do a memorial for Sniffie on her one year anniversary at the Rainbow Bridge, but she couldn't do it. Today we are posting a special Memorial post. Not to be sad but to celebrate the life of one of Mom's "heart" cats. We will continue posting Flashback Femme Fridays occasionally, but Sniffie told Mom we need to do more posts with us in them. Sniffie will always be part of our blog and will always live on the in the hearts of her many friends in the Cat Blogosphere.

We hope you enjoy her slideshow. It's really long (over 10 minutes) but it is filled with wonderful memories. Mom says Sniffie was a pro at the "head plant" sleeping position!

Thankful Thursday with Tamir

2011-12-29T00:01:00.001-05:00

2011-12-26T00:01:00.002-05:00

Our Secret Paws gift arrived last week but Mom wouldn't let us open it until Christmas Day. We didn't think we could wait that long, but somehow we managed to.

Our Secret Paw was Henry, Rosie and Charlie Dog from A House with Two Cats. They were great Secret Paw friends....they really paid attention to our "wish list" and gave us even more than we could imagine! Thank you so much to Henry, Rosie and Charlie Dog...you made our Christmas even more special.

Here's a slideshow of us with our presents!

Merry Christmas!!

Personalize funny videos and birthday eCards at JibJab!

2011-12-15T00:01:00.000-05:00

Today I am celebrating with an "adult beverage" because.........

Daddy's procedure went very well yesterday! The found one blockage that needed a stent and a whole mess of smaller ones that they cleared out! It was a long day for Mom and Dad.

Here's a picture of them on the cruise...

Thank you to effuryone who purred, wagged or prayed for us. We know we've been slackers at visiting, but we promise that things will get better now! We love you all!!!

Flat Tamir is Cruisin'

2011-12-14T00:01:00.002-05:00

DADDY UPDATE:
Daddy's procedure went well. They put a stent in and found other blockages that they fixed. He's in recovery now. Mom got to see him for a couple minutes but is back in the waiting room. Thank you for the purrs and prayers.

This cruisin' stuff is fun! Look at how beautiful the sky and the water look from my balcony. I really enjoyed relaxing out here. Mom was very careful to make sure I didn't fall overboard!!

I got to check out the ship and met this giant Fev-Ver guy. He was really friendly and took me under his wing! Isn't he purrty?

Being a flat cat from the Space Coast, I enjoyed seeing this astronaut!!

Later that night, when Mom and Dad came back to our cabin after dinner they found me with a new friend. Isn't he cute??

Please send some purrs and prayers to our Daddy today. He's having a procedure done to fix a blockage in his leg. As always, Mom is a worried mess. We're purring loud and hard for a successful procedure!

Travel Tuesday with Flat Tamir

2011-12-13T00:01:00.001-05:00

On Sunday of last week I was sitting in the dining room minding my own business when I was stuffed into this flatcat suitcase!!!

When it finally opened up I got a big surprise! I was on a CRUISE SHIP! I was going with Mom and Dad on a cruise on the Carnival Valor from Miami! How exciting!!

Mom is cool, she brought a little Christmas Tree to decorate our cabin!!

I'm going to snooze now so I can be ready for my adventures. Mom says I won't be able to get off on the islands but I'm sure I'll have loads of fun on the ship!!

ManCat Monday with Tamir

2011-12-12T00:01:00.001-05:00

ManCat Monday with Tamir

2011-12-05T00:01:00.003-05:00

Tamir says "HEY, this is MY bed. Oh wait....I didn't mean that...I meant, Hi sweet Ellie, would you like me to move so you can have this nice Christmas bed?"

Whew.......we hope Santa didn't hear that!!!

Easy Like Sunday with Allie

2011-12-04T00:01:00.000-05:00

The Christmas Bed is always popular this time of year. Allie plans on taking it EASY in it today!

What are your Easy Sunday plans?

Mom and Dad are going to be away this week so we won't be able to
visit our pals much (unless Auntie El leaves the 'puter on for us). We hope you still stop by so we're not too lonely.

Sniffie knew how impawtent it was to get plenty of rest during the holidays! Doesn't she look comfy?

Thankful Thursday

2011-12-01T00:01:00.002-05:00

Allie says she's thankful for her big brofur who watches over her all the time. She's also so very thankful for the Cat Blogosphere who purrs and prays for all of those who need help.

Mom says she's thankful for all who purred and prayed for her this week. It was really sad to see her wonderful Curves close. She loves all of the members and had the very best staff in the world. Mom says that she never worked anywhere that 9 women worked for 5 years with no conflicts!! Mom says one of the member shared this great quote: "Don't cry because it's over...smile because it happened"
That really applied to her Curves.

On the upside, Mom should have more time to help us visit in the future. She knows she's been a slacker the last couple of weeks and we promise it will be better!!

Wordy Wednesday with Allie

2011-11-30T00:01:00.004-05:00

Hi effurybuddy, Allie here.
Yesterday I was minding my own business when all of a sudden I was stuck in the PTU and taken to the V-E-T!!! Okay, maybe I was going into my litterbox a lot and leaving a drop or two, and maybe Mom did find a puddle right in front of the box...but who knew I would be in for TORTURE???

When we got to the V-E-T office, our nice friend Cheryl was there to weigh me and I weighed exactly what I did last time I visited. Of course I keep up my ladylike figure!!

When we got into the room the real torture started. They stuck a.....welll.....um....it's too embarrassing to say but I'll bet some of you know what I'm talking about. The doctor came in and talked to Mom for a while and he squeezed me and poked me and prodded me. They decided I had a UTI and that I needed medikations. Then they came in a poked me with a stick thing....

Hey...........I'm SOOOOO out of here......

Thanks for the purrs and prayers. The doctor gave me a shot of Convenia and said that, other than the UTI, I'm a healthy kitty!!!

Please send purrs and prayers to Mom. The place she works closes today and she's really sad.

Tuesday Twosome

2011-11-29T03:14:00.000-05:00

Who us? We would never whap those ornaments....nope....not us!

Is Santa watching????

ManCat Monday with Tamir

2011-11-28T00:01:00.007-05:00

Shhhh....Tamir thinks that if he keeps his eyes closed, Monday will go away.....

If you biggify, you can see his cute toe position. We think he's posing for Santa!!

Can you keep our Mom in your prayers this week please? On Saturday she had to tell her staff that the owner is closing the place where she works effective 11/30/11. Today she has to tell all the members. She is heartbroken because her co-workers are like family and many of the members are too. She and two of her co-workers tried to take it over, but it couldn't be worked out. We're going to have to do some big time snuggling to make her feel better.

Easy Like Sunday with Allie and Tamir

2011-11-27T00:01:00.000-05:00

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas around here and we all know what that means...........SANTA will be here soon. The downside to that is we have to start being good.

Allie and Tamir are showing their version of Peace on Earth....Easy style!

Testing Toys on Tuesday!

2011-11-15T00:01:00.001-05:00

Recently, a package came in the mail for us from our pal Baby Patches at Nip and Bones.

We're part of the Baby Patches Tester Team and we received this cool product to review. (No, we're not
paid for this but we DO get to try out a cool toy).

We received this fun looking Woofie Toy for our woofies to test. It's really cool because it doesn't have a lot of stuffing in it. Your human takes the "fins" and stuffs the fishie with them, then you pull the stuffing out.

Here's the official Test Team getting ready. Clifford is so excited, he's already a blur!!

Ut oh......Cubby grabbed it and ran......

Even Allie was interested but Cubby had his hold on it and wasn't letting go...

Cubby LOVES it!

Yep....if I hold it down with my paw, I can get the stuffing out faster!!!

Cubby gives this great toy a HUGE paws up! Clifford says he'll have to be a bit quicker next time. He did get to play with it but he was so excited he was a big furry BLURR!

Here's a couple of short videos showing how much fun this toy was.

You can purchase the Fish Dog Toy for your favorite woofie at Nip and Bones. Here's a direct link to the FISH TOY.

ManCat Monday with Cousin Trooper

How are you spending your Sunday?

Happy Veterans Day

2011-11-11T00:01:00.004-05:00

Today we honor our Veterans. Thank you for your service from the Florida Furkids, Angel Sniffie, Cousin Trooper and our Mom and Dad!!

Veterans Day

by Cheryl Dyson

On Veterans Day we honor all,
Who answered to a service call.
Soldiers young, and soldiers old,
Fought for freedom, brave and bold.
Some have lived, while others died,
And all of them deserve our pride.
We’re proud of all the soldiers who,
Kept thinking of red, white and blue.
They fought for us and all our rights,
They fought through many days and nights.
And though we may not know each name,
We thank ALL veterans just the same.

Thankful Thursday - Daddy got a good report and an award

2011-11-10T00:01:00.003-05:00

Dona Nobis Pacem - Blogblast for Peace 2011

2011-11-04T00:01:00.003-04:00

Dona Nobis Pacem - Peace be with you from the Florida Furkids and Cousin Trooper

Mom says Angel Sniffie was such a sweet, peaceful girl that she deserves a Peace Globe. We know there is a lot of peace and love at the Bridge.

The prayer of St. Francis

Lord, make me an instrument of your peace,

Where there is hatred, let me sow love;

where there is injury, pardon;where there is doubt, faith;
where there is despair, hope;where there is darkness, light;
where there is sadness, joy;

O Master, grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as to console; to be understood as to understand;
to be loved as to love.
For it is in giving that we receive; it is in pardoning that we are pardoned;
and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life

Tasty Thursday with Allie

Once again Mom made us dress up for Halloween. We think we would prefer Photoshop, but every year she insists!

First we have soldier Cubby. No matter what the enemy says or does, he will only give his name, rank and woofie tag number. Especially if the torture is licks from Allie...

Allie wants to know why she is always the Devil??????

Butterfly Clifford is about to take off - see how fast his tail is going??

Tamir wants to know where the fire is. He's pretty sure he can put it out!!

No surprise here......Ellie (aka Daddy's little girl) is the Princess!!

Even though this JibJab is old, we like to include this because it has Angel Sniffie in it.

Personalize funny videos and birthday eCards at JibJab!

Today we're sharing some of our favorite Halloween pictures of Sniffie.

Didn't she look purrty in her green bat dress????

Our friend Ann from Zoolatry made this great graphic for her in 2008 - we love it!

One year Snffie was a hippie!!! She looks pretty 'nipped out in that picture!!
