And Tuna Juice cocktails

Grab a snack and a beverage and stay for a while! There is a lot going on in the Cat Blogosphere this week!!

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.
