Weekend Plans

I have big plans this weekend. They involve the deck, some sun and shade and a lotta' nip. All kitties are welcome to come over and enjoy the weekend with me. I have to tell you, life doesn't get much better than this. So if you are in the mood for some fun and sun (and 'nip), you know where to find it - the big brick house in our little corner of O Hi O (I'll keep a blue eye out for you!).
Friday Smoochies!

My Baby Wrote Me A Letter...

Last week was the best week of my life! Tripper sent me two packages! One was from the siamese rescue and it smelled soooooo good! (Just ignore Powder's little noggin', she was trying to get in the photo...)

Inside the box were TWO catnip infused toys that were Mine all MINE! (the card said so...) but the awesomeness had just started. My baby wrote me a letter AND GAVE ME A LOVE RAT!

Lookit' that rat, how awesome is this? And it has Tripper's very own spit  on it. He loves me, he really, really loves me in his own special, twisted psychotic way. What more could a girl ask for?

Did I mention it has his spit on it!?! Swooooooooon...

Thanks you from the bottom of my paw pads Tripper - I love you too!

Smooch!

Easy Like Sunday

Yesterday, as I told you, Mommy and Daddy walked and walked and walked and walked for the Relay For Life. We were all treated to some major Stinky Goodness when they got home. It was very deeeelish!

MMMMmmmm...good to the last morsel!

I hear rumors that we get to go out on the deck this afternoon!

It's gonna' be a good day kitties!

Smoochies!

Formerly Feral Friday - We Pity The Kitties!

Hi-ya' Kitties! I'm taking back my blog!

It's Friday, I'm formerly feral and I have things to say! First of all, we sent our little donation to The Beaufort Community Cat Project - we had 80-something comments, so we just rounded up and counted on Mommy to be her usual math-impaired self. They got $25, which might buy a little food or maybe pay for a spay or neuter. That was a lot of fun!
Mommy still feels like the guy in Jethro Tull's Aqualung (the snotty part, not the rest of it!), but she's better than she was. She still managed to put on a heckofa' party for the calicos! See what we had to snack on?
For those of you who are not familiar with 3 Dog Bakery, it's a Kansas City taste treat for dogs and cats. When we lived there we would get special birthday cakes and treats. We miss it a lot and Mommy surprised us with We Pity the Kitties cat treats in Chicken flavor! Heaven! AND we got to wash them down with catmilk! Later there was nip and playing with our tinsel wands, all in all a great celebration!
Here's wishing you a wonderful Friday and a sunny, treat filled weekend. We have big plans. They are to do NOTHING! Just naps and deck time and smoochies!
Love,

Sunday Signs of Santa

It's getting exciting around here - signs of Santa are everywhere! I think I even spy a few toys in my stocking already! Today I'm snuggling with Mommy and being thankful for the great life that I have. Enjoy your Sunday kitties!

So, Whatdaya' Think?

Hi Everykitty! Welcome to my new look!

This new layout is an early holiday gift for me and Mommy from Daddy. He said we should spruce the ol' blog up and give it some new life. Mommy spoke to the most wonderful Zoolatry human and she highly recommended that we work with Chica and Pumuckl's mom to help us with the design. We sure are glad that we did that. Zoolatry worked with some of our photos and voila'! We are very, very happy with how it has turned out. It was painless for Mommy - Ana was very wonderful to work with and she is very artistic! Please take a look around.

And you know what else? It still has that new blog smell!

Smooches to all of you and especially Ana and Ann!

Hooray, Hooray, Today's The Day!

I am parking my furry self right here. I am not moving. I want to make sure I see the car pull up. I have the perfect view of the driveway. I wonder if Daddy will remember me?

Saturday Caturday - With Awards!

Good Morning! How do you like my new digs? It arrived last week from the wonderful Zoolatry and I have been busy doing a little interior decorating. I have used Squiggles and Snuggles and Ham-Micks and Gizzies. If I do say so myself, it looks pretty darn wonderful! If you are ever in the O Hi O neighborhood, please come over and visit me, I am behind the big red brick house down the street from the big hospital. I would love to see you and I have the pantry stocked with HAM!!! and catnip. I have been told that I am the hostess with the most-est!

Ain't it purrty?

Chica and Pumuckl were nice enough to pass this lovely award on to me. Thanks so much! Now that I have a real sweet home, I think I'll hang it on my wall! I also am going to pass this award on to Castle Pants 'cause I really like his new blog home and to Angus because he is having to learn what being an "all indoor" kitty is like and to my new friend Huffle Mawson because she is so cool!

But wait! I am not finished! I have received another award from my handsome grey buddies Gandolf and Grayson! Isn't it pretty? Here's what they said about me and my bloggie - "she's a breath of uber-fresh air every day!" Gosh guys, thanks, you make me blush!

This award was created to be given to bloggers who inspire others with their creativity and their talents, also for contributing to the blogging world in whatever medium.When you receive this award it is considered a "special honor". Once you have received this award, you are to pass it on to 5 others." What a wonderful way to show some love and appreciation to your fellow bloggers!!!

The rules for passing this honor on:

1) Pick 5 blogs that you would like to award this honor to.

2) Each award has to have the name of the author and also a link to his or her blog to be visited by everyone.

3) Each award winner has to show the award and put the name and link to the blog that has given her or him the award itself.

4) Award-winner and the one who has given the prize have to show the link of "Arte y Pico" blog, so everyone will know the origin of this award.

So - here's who I am sending this award along to - The most lovely and regal Pearl across the pond - I love her quiet sense of humor, Honey P. Sunshine who is a gifted artist, Mousie over at Louche Tabby (she always makes me laugh), Mickey, who is as sweet as they come in kitty-form and sweet little Telsa the Kitty - I like her spirit!

I hope all of you were OK last night. So much noise! So very loud! We all surprised Mommy and Daddy be sitting in the windows and watching the fireworks. Yup, we all just went with the flow. Well most of us...Diamond barked so much that we started calling him "Barky McBarkerson." Next year Diamond will probably be given a mild sedative to save his barker. And our sanity.

Movie Monday!

I gave Mommy a little tummy and wash video yesterday. It was such a beautiful day, the sun was shining, the birds were singing and the neighbors dog was barking!

Have a very happy Cinco De Mayo!

Formerly Feral Friday - Awards For Me!

Since it's going to be so freeeeeeking cold here this weekend, I really need all of your love to keep me warm! And boy, oh boy, you kitties sure have sent me a lot of love this week. It warms my little kitty heart much better than my Boogie mat is doing! This formerly feral kitty is very glad to have friends like you and a home to live in!

"Hey Mommy, don't be such a cheapskate and turn up the heat! I'm having to turn on my lazer eyes here just to keep warm...Geeeeesh!"

Look at this beautiful, shiny award! The extremely funny Chancy and Ernie gave it to me! They are very funny, go here really fast to see what I mean - I'll wait! See, funny, right? I don't even care that they thought I was a boy. I get that a lot. As long as Tripper knows I am a girl it's all good. The Extraordinary Gold Star Award was created by Storm, The Furry Fighter and is for Bloggers who have achieved or done something special. The award celebrates beyond what is ordinary or usual. Here's how it works -

1) Post the explanation and rules of the award and link back to the blogger who presented you with the award and repeat the reason why you received it.
2) Pass the Award on to two other Bloggers who you think deserve it and explain why! So...I would like to pass the award on to Beau because his heart is so full of love and to William of Mass Destruction for his ability to make my Mommy snort coffee out of her nose when she reads his blog. Believe me, that's entertainment!

And this wonderful award was given to me by the very sweet and photogenic Sunny. Thank you so much! I love visiting him and his very pretty sister! The You Make My Day Award is presented to bloggers whose blog brings you happiness and inspiration and makes you feel happy about Blogland. The rules are to pass the award along to up to 10 Kitties. I am going to pass it along to Beau and Angie, Camie's Kitties, Jake and Bathsheba and Telsa.
And last, but cerainly not least is the Thinking Blogger award! My friend Derby the Sassy Cat gave it to me 'cause of my smooches :) Thank-you Derby!
Happy Friday everykitty! Stay warm!
