Photo Hunter - Card(s)

This week's Photo Hunters theme is CARD(s).


Mom's business CARD has lots of good information - notice the name of her business is Friends FurEver just like our blog. What a copy cat she is!!
It also makes a fun toy!!

Photo Hunters - License Plate

This week's Photo Hunter's theme is LICENSE PLATE.

This was the LICENSE PLATE that was on Mom and Auntie El's Friends FurEver van. They went to shows all over the country in that van. I even got to go to shows with them...as far away as Houston TX! Mom and Auntie El had loads of adventures in that van and they can still laugh at many of them. They sold the Friends FurEver van last year since they hadn't gone to any shows in it for a long time. Mom and Auntie El both have variations of Friends FurEver on their car license plates now.

ManCat Monday - at the Cat Show

Here are some pictures of Mancats-in-Training at the Cats Exclusive Cat show this weekend

This is Pierre:

And these two are Ramses and Montey (they got adopted together!!)

A very special person at the show was Greg. He sat inside the big tent that the kitties could go in and paid very special attention to many of them. Mom and Auntie El were amazed at his dedication to the kitties and his stamina - what a super job he does!

Here are some pictures of the super raffle table! Mom won two prizes!

Look at all of the ribbons these two beautiful Birmans won! They belong to Karl and Gudrun Andersson of Trulsa's Birmans!

Check out the gorgeous face looking out of the cage in this picture!

Mom and Auntie El had a great time this weekend. Thanks to everyone who adopted a kitty (we heard 20 kitties got forever homes) and to all of the people who made this show possible!

A Very Special Day!!

Mom and Auntie El are at the Cat's Exclusive Cat show in Ft Lauderdale this weekend.
Cat's Exclusive is the club that Daisy's Mom volunteers at. On Saturday we saw something very cool happen. See this....

FIGGY GOT A FOREVER HOME!!!!

Here is a picture of Figgy's new Mom and Figgy (in the box).

You can see Figgy in the cool tent that is on the Stage at the show...

Gandalf and Grayson sponsored Figgy on their blog. You can stop there and see more pictures of Figgy!

Dopey Mom forgot to charge her camera before the show, so she didn't get as many pictures as she would have liked. She'll post more during the day today from the show!

Cats Exclusive Cat Show

Guess where our Mom is going to be this weekend? The CATS EXCLUSIVE Cat Show in Fort Lauderdale! This show is put on by a Cat Club that helps to support the Rescue that Daisy's Mom is part of! We're so excited that Mom might get to meet some of the very special kitties up for adoption. We're hoping she can take some nice pictures to post here on our blog!

Mom and Auntie El are vendors at the show from their Friends FurEver booth. They don't have a big booth this year 'cause Mom was away and her van got sick and they have to use Auntie El's car. Oh well, they will have a LOT of fun and see some nice kitties! We're purraying that lots of kitties get forever homes this weekend! Mom plans to take lots of pictures and will be posting them here over the weekend.

Please vote for Cat's Exclusive and help them win $10,000! Click the picture below to vote:

Thursday Thirteen

We thought we would try a Thursday Thirteen today.

Here are 13 things you might not know about us.

1. Tamir and Sniffie lived with Mom when she was in New Jersey. We moved to Florida in 1999.

6. Our bloggy is named after Mom and Auntie El's business - Friends FurEver. They sell things with cats on them online and at cat shows (Cats? What a surprise!)

Frangipani Flower Friday

Happy 08/08/08 to effurycat and their Beans!

Since Meowmy got a new flashy box, she's been trying different things. Today we're going to show you some of the purrty flowers on our Plumeria (Frangipani) trees and Butterfly plants. Our Dad grew a lot of these from seeds and from cuttings (don't ask how he got some of them!!).

Each one has it's own purrty fragrance and our favorite one is this red one. This red one came from Key West.

This is a pretty pink and yellow one.

This one is a purrty pink and Meowmy says it smells purrty. We're confused since it doesn't smell anything like Stinky Goodness.

This is one of the bushes that our NOMS friends feed on. This was in a teeny tiny pot when we got it!

We're going to go nap now so we can see the start of the Olympics tonight!!

Snoozin Sunday!

What's that in the little cat scratcher....hmmm...it's white, its floofy....its................

Snoozin' Sniffie!

Happy Sunday to Effurycat!

ManCat Monday - ManCat-in-Training

Today we have a special visitor to our blog - our Cousin Tybee (Ty) who lives in Georgia with our Uncle Jim. Ty is pretty good with computers like we are (fortunately the beans don't know that). Ty sent Sniffie a cool card for her birthday and a letter telling us all about himself. Ty even has his OWN LETTERHEAD! We're pretty impressed! Ty got his name because his Daddy found him on Tybee Island. He is a youngster and is having lots of trouble training his Daddy. Yesterday Mr Ty actually had to jump in the shower twice to try to save his Daddy! What are these beans thinking about going into water without a fight????

Here are a few pictures of Ty - ManCat-in-Training!

First picture shows Ty is a real ManCat-in-Training, notice how he has control of the remote?

"Who me? I didn't do it....honest I didn't"

Um....this is MY keyboard and MY computer....I just let my Dad use it sometimes!

Whoosh - all this posting and meeting new friends has made me sleepy - time for a nap!

Purrs and Headbonks to Ty - thank you for the card and the letter. We sure hope you come visit us soon!!

Lazy Summer Sunday - Snoozing again!

What a busy week we had! We're ready to snooze today. Our Meowmy said something about cleaning the house - what's with that? We think she should nap all day like us!!

Please come by tomorrow - we have a special guest for ManCat Monday!!!

Lots of good stuff in the Cat Blogosphere today - Jeter Harris was named Catster Cat of the Week, please stop by his blog and say concatulations to him too!!

Daisy has another episode in the saga of Mr Shrill and Snail! Watch out for the earworm!!

We're off to check out our other new friends!!! Be back later!!!
