A Happy Carrot Giveaway!

Lookit' what I'm giving away!

This my dear kitties, is a Happy Carrot from Purrfectplay, my pals in Indiana that make organic toys that are fun and safe for us to play with. And it reeks (in a good way) of primo 'nip!!! Here's what they have to say about it -

"Lined with organic cotton canvas and covered with thick organic Colorgrown fleece, our 6 inch carrot contains over 1/2 cup of the finest organic catnip. Crafted right here in Indiana, it is crowned with floppy fun hemp cord "leaves". Durable and yummy, the Happy Carrot will bring many hours of happy play to your kitties. "

Sounds pretty cool, eh???

So, I was thinking, since the 'rents are leaving us on Friday for their stoopid vacation, I thought I'd have some fun here on the blog and host a giveaway. I like to keep things simple so all you have to do is leave a comment here and tell me you'd like to be entered in the drawing. But what I'd REALLY appreciate is for you to go and visit Purrfectplay, find them on Facebook, and tell them that Parker says "hi!" Would you do that for me? I haven't told them I'm doing this giveaway yet and the Mom 'rent is so busy I don't think she knows which end of me is up, so I'm not letting her pick me up - HA-HA-HA-HA-HA!

Oh - you know what else? I had to give up my laptop to the Laptop fixit guy again, so I will be without a computer for a little while. And a kitty without a computer is like, well...,a kitty that can't keep up with what's going on...I'll be back ASAP, OK? Meanwhile, leave a comment and go visit my buds at Purrfectplay!

I leave you with an old, but adorable photo of me...

...You're welcome!

Wordless Wednesday

Tattle-Tail Tuesday

So kitties, I like to snoopervise in the kitchen. What am I staring at? What has my full attention? Why am I honed in on the stove?

There's bacon going in that frying pan! The 'rents are all excited about the fresh tomatoes from Daddy's garden, but me? It's all about the bacon! I hope I get some!

The Rudy Report

My pathetic kittie look. (how am I doing?)

Hey kitties! Here's to a new week. It's me - RUDY! With your Rudy Report. Parker wants me to thank all of you who made her birthday commentathon a success, she had over 170 birthday wishes and that means that we raised over $42 to send to Wayside Waifs. The 'rents are going to even it up to $50 and send it to them in memory of our friends Fat Eric, Luxor, Molly and little Wintergreen.
I've heard a terrible rumor that has me a little upset. It seems that the 'rents think they need a vacation! And yesterday Mommy got out her suitcase and started to go through her "vacation clothes". This does not look good and rumor has it that Friday morning they are leaving us for Lake Tahoe! Why would anyone want to go near all that water? Why?!?!

Mommy says this is why...

Mommy says that no one should feel sorry for us as our most favorite sitter is staying here while they are gone. I say that I am going to milk this for all it is worth! Mommy also says that she and Daddy really need a little "'rent time". Whatever... 'rents can be so weird.
Stay cool kitties, it's Monday and for 'rents that seems to make them less happy, give 'em a purr or two to make them feel like Saturday!
ps - A. Nonny Mouse, we love you whoever you are! Smoochies!

They Say It's My Birthday!

Thanks to Zoolatry - what a wonderful picture of me!

Hi there! I know I don't look a day over five, but today I become nine! So here's the deal, I'd like to celebrate with a commentaton to honor the memory of our blogosphere friends who ran off to the Bridge this week. Here's what my 'rents have agreed to do - we will donate 25 cents per comment to our favorite shelter, Wayside Waifs. And we will make the donation in memory of sweet Fat Eric, gorgeous Luxie, delicate Wintergreen and beautiful Molly. I think that they would like that, don't you? We will accept multiple comments from a family, for instance, if I commented, then Rudy came back and commented (as if the little Orange Menace could spell - HaHaHaHa!...oops, sorry), I would count that as two. The commentathon will run until August 20th 11:59 PM Eastern time. That's about it for the rules, so let's have a little fun, shall we?
If the 'rents of these wonderful kitties happen to read this - I hope your hearts begin to heal in time. All of here at Casa de Parker want you to know that you are in our thoughts and prayers.
Smoochies!

Wordless Sorrow

It isn't yesterday, Wednesday, which by the way, was about the saddest day ever. But today, I find myself wordless - unable to describe the sadness I feel over losing two of my oldest and dearest blogosphere kitty friends.
Godspeed to the Bridge my friends, I will miss you very much.

 Fat Eric was a role model to Rudy and such a dear friend.

Luxor was about the most beautiful boy I have ever seen, and such a gentle soul.

You will both always have a special place in my heart. We pray that your 'rents will find some comfort in knowing that both of you touched so many lives and brought many, many smiles to kitties and 'rents all over the world. May the memories of both of you bring them smiles through their tears.

Wordless Wednesday

AAAAaaaaahhhhhh!

Oh boy kitties! It rained here and the hots went packin'! It's so nice to have the windows open and to smell the breezes through the screen. The 'rents are happy and we all are enjoying the cooler temps.
I need to patrol the windows and doors for introoders - you never know what the nicer weather might bring!

The Rudy Report

Goodness, Gracious, Great Balls of Fire kitties...it's me, RUDY!, with your Rudy Report! I can sit on the dining room table and not get in trouble, I can give Mommy the love eyes and I can beg for a treat. I can just sit here and not mention the HOTS that now live here in O Hi O.
I will not tell you how hot it is here, but I can tell you that the 'rents are UBER cranky, even with AC.
I guess that's why that's all I have to say today, except that I hope you kitties are being cool. See ya!

Formerly Feral Friday

On this stinkin' hot Friday the 13th, I'd like to wish my 'rent a very happy birthday. She's a good 'rent and she loved me from the second Daddy introduced us. She's made sure I have a forever home full of love and everything a Formerly Feral could need or want.  Aside from taking pictures of me that makes me look like I have a pine cone growing out of my back, she's 'da bomb!
Happy Birthday Mommy, I love ya' more than tuna jooce!

How Hot Is It?

...It's so hot that we all shaved our furs off and sat on the mantle!

HaHaHaHaHa!

Wordless Wednesday

Caution!

When stepping into the elevator at work, Mommy saw this.

I wonder where that poor wet kitty went?

The Rudy Report

Oh hi there! It's me, RUDY! with the Rudy Report. My goodness, the HOTS came back with an attitude and all I want to do is stay where it's cool and nap the days away. So, what that means is when it cools down at night I get all frisky and run around like a nut. The 'rents love it! No, really, they love it! HaHaHaHaHa!
I am so glad that our computer is working again - I missed you guys!

Reasons To Celebrate

It's World Cat Day!

(isn't every day world cat day?)

AAAAND...I'm back! Wow kitties, that was a bad virus that the laptop caught! It took our computer guy quite a while to get all of the bugs off of it. I guess even with good anti-virus protection that bugs can get through. I sure missed all of you and I am going to have to play a lot of catch up.
I want to give a special shout-out to the Zoolatry crew, please know that we are purring and praying our hardest for your Poppy. You are some of our special bloggy friends and we wish your Poppy to get well very soon. Smoochies to you and to him!

A Pox On Ye Evil Virus!

Watch This Space...

We have no computer at home because it was attcked by some bad ol' virus bug. We'll return when it's fixed. I'll miss you guys!

The Rudy Report

Yassou kitties! It's me - RUDY! with your Rudy report! I hope you had a nice weekend, I spent mine giving myself a spa treatment with my tongue. I subscribe to Parker's belief that it's very important to keep a clean machine! Just don't think you can come after me with a brush, that's off limits!

We spent some time on the deck with Daddy, Mommy would not come out because she is allergic to the Hots. At least that's what she says. She spent her time in the kitchen and she managed to clog up the kitchen sink with parsley. Here's a tip to all of you kitty moms, parsley does not grind up well in the garbage disposal. And then your Dad gets to say bad words and spend his Sunday fixing it. She should have just stuck to fixing meat and tuna, those never clog the disposal!

I hope you have a Monday that feels like a Sunday - and stay away from parsley!
