Some call me the gangster of love
Some people call me Maurice
Cause I speak of the pompatus of love ♫♫

And now a special thanks from the Creek Cats.....

We would like to thank Romeo the Cat for the wonderful work he does on behalf of animals in need. Thank you for giving the BCCP this opportunity to be the May FurPower Challenge recipient. The money raised by this FurPower Challenge will no doubt go a very long way for TNR in our seaside community! We can't thank you enough!

A big thanks also goes out to all of you who donated, sent best wishes, purrs, did blog posts to boost awareness and cheered us along during the month of May. None of this would have been possible if not for the love and support of the wonderful cat blogosphere. We are so thankful to be a part of this extraordinary community!

The $1000.00 goal has been surpassed! WOOHOO!!!!

**Add $20.00 to the amount displayed on the Firstgiving widget, thanks to The Monkey's donation directly to BCCP's paypal account!**☺

Rock The Casbah

The lady bought us some pink panties from The Casbah Kitten's Etsy Store. All of us kitties had lots of fun putting the bitey on the pink drawers and jelly bean. These toys are highly recommended and we give them 12 paws up! Be sure to check out all their cool, homemade toys!

Oh wow! New toys for us!

Maggie May shows the jelly bean no mercy!

Maggie sniffing the panties...... they have cat nip, of course!
The panties also make a nice soft pillow!

Favorite photo... Ferris the mancat with his pink panties!

Nearly all of our toys are made from Eco Felt (a product of recycled plastic bottles) so they're great for the environment. We create original designs, and use our own organically grown catnip and new polyfil for the stuffing. Once again, we will be donating a portion of our sales to our local Humane Society Adoption Center in May. ~ casbahkitten's Shop Announcement

The Real Me - Doppleganger Meme

DOPPLEGANGER MEME

The doppleganger meme was started by Milo and Alfie:
"Basically, you find ovver cat(s)/kitten(s) who looks just like you and you post a picture of you both – so we can all see how much of a doppleganger you are! It’s easy and fun!

“Doppelgänger” means any double or look-alike of a cat / kitten! OK?" ~Milo and Alfie

These are our rules:

*You find a cat / kitten who looks just like you (more than one if you’ve got lotsa dopplegangers!) and you post a picture of you both (it’s best to ask permishun so no-one gets cross!). If you can get the same pose great – but it doesn’t matter.
*You link to your doppleganger so others can visit his/her bloggie’
*You leave us a comment (’cos we love comments!) telling us you joined in wiv a linky so we can see you post.
*You don’t hafta nominate anyone else to do it if you don’t want to – but you can if you like.
*You hafta post these rules in case anyone else wants to join in!

Legs - Wordless Wednesday

P.S. Today is Maggie May's Gotcha Day. Read how she was Gotcha'd!

Don't Go Away Mad (Just Go Away)

*Mommick- v. meaning to bother or annoy with intensity

Poor Maya can't get a break from Maggie, actually none of the cats can. Maya just happens to be Maggie May's favorite to pester. Isn't that what little sisters are for? It all starts with some innocent face licking, but you know that always leads to the bitey!

HAPPY GOTCHA DAY CORY AND ELLIE!

In honor of Cory and Ellie's Gotcha Day, we are joining in the commentathon and donating 25 cents to United Paws, for every comment we get on this post today! Be sure to stop by and wish them a Happy Gotcha Day and read their amazing adoption story!

Freak On A Leash

Ahhhh! Fresh air and sunshine! Everything was perfect, except the fact that the lady had me on a short leash. What's that about? Can I not be trusted?I had my eye on a delicious birdie, but every time I tried to run after him I couldn't get farther than 10 feet! Darn leash! It was totally ruining my game!
How am I supposed to get any hunting done when you have the leash attached to your belt loop, woman?
This is my "hey lady, hows about takin' this ridiculous leash offa me so I can catch some birds" look.
The look didn't work and I'm so over it. Let me back in cause it looks like Ferris is ready to come out. Once he realizes he will be on a short leash, he may change his mind!


We were abandoned on Saturday for the lady's bff's wedding. There was cake, but it was not made of nip. They did not shower us with gifts when they decided to roll in at 12:30 am Sunday morning. The servants are lame.

It's Alright

Dixie dog wearing her straw hat!

The lady has really been missing Cal a lot lately, which is to be expected. We really think she tries to repress memories to keep from crying. We've told her that isn't very healthy, but she doesn't listen to us --well what are we gonna do, we're cats!

Well, her new blogger friend Shelly did such a wonderful thing for her. Shelly put a memorial of Cal on the Critters Pet Memorial site. Shelly has a page for her beloved pets who have gone to the bridge and she added Cal as a friend. When the lady saw Cal and the wonderful things written, she was so surprised. The memorial really helped her to find comfort and peace. Not to mention, she cried like a baby! She is so thankful that she has a place to visit Cal. Thank you for your kindness, Shelly!

Interesting story......Cal left for the bridge around 9:00am the morning of March 26, that afternoon around 6:00pm the lady and her mom did their 4 mile walk around the neighborhoods. The lady was avoiding being in the house as much as possible, so the walk was good for her that day. She has done this walk many times, but do you know what she saw this particular day? A black cat walking through the grass. She pretty much knows all the cats in the neighborhood, and this one didn't belong. She had never seen the cat before and has never seen it since. And trust us, she looks for it every day she goes walking. A friend of hers said it was Cal transitioning and she totally believes that. He probably just had to make sure she was going to be alright.

¯She says I'm okay; I'm alright,
Though you have gone from my life

You said that it would,

Now everything should be all right

Yeah should be alright.¯

-Flogging Molly

Sweet Leaf

We've got fresh cat nip and mint! The lady potted them for us over the weekend. She read about a very cool cat herb garden in a magazine, but since we can't go outside..... she wanted to make us an indoor container garden. She is still on the lookout for cat mint, valerian, and cat thyme. She can't seem to find any where we live.
Every morning she has to clean up little pieces of the leaves where we have nommed them all over the table during the night. We have cat nip parties and sometimes we get a little rowdy...hehehe!
She laughed when she saw the label on our cat nip....... "non-addictive." :-)

We were given this award by Katz and Other Tails. Thank you!!!

We'd like to pass it along to:

EVERYONE!

We think all the moms out there are the best this world has to offer!

***Be sure to donate to Romeo's $1 FURPower Challenge! He is trying to reach his goal of $1000.00 for the BCCP! The BCCP operates solely from donations, so this money will go a long way in improving the lives of feral cats in our community! You can donate on this blog or Romeo's blog!

Baby Hold On - Wordless Wednesday

A Little Bit Of Life - Award - UPDATE

***UPDATE***
Romeo's Contest Winners are........
The Twitter winner is @MissPoofy, a beautiful Himalayan "princess cat" from Illinois. She is a very dignified princess so she is not too silly but often dashes up and down the hall like a madwoman.

Our Blog winner is Tasha, a cute Tortie who blogs at and who burrows under clothes and waves a paw for help when she wants to come out.

This was a very fun contest!! Thanks to all who entered and donated!! And a big thanks to Iams!

Maggie May has posted a new video of her enjoying our Plague Ratsie, be sure to stop in and check it out!!!

Team Tabby was so kind to give us this Life is Grand award!

Thank you, Team Tabby!!!

First we must link to the kitties that gave us the award, which we have done. Thanks again, Team Tabby..... we will display this award with pride in our trophy case!

Next, we must give five reasons why life is grand. Are you ready??? Here goes......

1. We were all rescued from various places and situations and given a second chance at life.

2. We live on a creek! Even though we aren't allowed outside, unless on harnesses, we have wonderful views of the water and the occasional seagull. Not too mention bunnies, squirrels and other birds.

3. We're spoiled rotten!

4. We got a Plague Ratsie!

5. We've met lots of very cool friends from all over the world through blogging.

Now we will pass this award on to five of those friends:

Pemberley, Angel and Kirby, Tristan and Crikey, Kareltje en Ikke, and Boo Boo Black!

P.S. Today Romeo chooses the winner of his "Pets--The Spice of Life" contest...... be sure to stop by his blog at 3PM EST to find out the winner of the Iams prize pack! Thats to all who participated and donated!!

Purple Haze - Swap N Tails

Last month we participated in Swap N Tails again!! The color of the month was PURPLE. We received some very cool purple mice and treats from Mr. Hendrix.

The purple mousies are great and lots of fun to whap around!

Also in the package was a magnetic note pad for the fridge and a very cute journal. This will definitely come in handy since the lady has become increasingly forgetful lately and losing things..... like her mind.

He even sent Dixie Dog a bag of treats. They are "guilt-free" so she can be spoiled more often! We think she's spoiled enough..... just sayin'.

THANKS MR.HENDRIX!!!

Entries will be accepted until 11:59 a.m. EST on Monday, May 11, 2009

Thanks to everyone who has entered so far!!

Wooly Bully

We were so excited when our package arrived from SuppliesJust4Pets!

Chief Kit, Baby Patches always takes good care of us when we order and we are very pleased with our purchases! We got 2 Yeowww Catnip Pillows and a Zoom Groom! Yes, we finally stepped out of the dark ages and got a Zoom Groom and it's awesome!

Look at all that floof! And that's only half of it..... the other half is still flying around the front yard. We moved the grooming session to the front porch to enjoy the plentiful sunshine. Our coats look so shiny and healthy now! Chevelle looks like she's been sanded down and given a fresh coat of gloss black!

We all really enjoyed getting groomed with the Zoom Groom...... well, all of us except Maggie May. She refused to have any of her pretty calico floof stolen. Maggie May doesn't enjoy getting brushed and puts the bitey on the lady's hands when she tries. She doesn't like the back half of her body to be touched. Maybe it has something to do with her legs still being sensitive or maybe she's just sassy?

Dixie received a special treat........ an Endlessky Braided Bully Stick! Boy, was Dixie excited! We think it might just be her new favorite treat! She gives it two paws waaaay up! Bully Sticks are 100% digestible beef with no by-products!

Yesterday we ordered a Plaque Ratsie. We had to have it after seeing so many good reviews on other blogs!

Addicted - Food Review

A few weeks ago we were contacted by Isabel at Addiction foods to try samples of their grain-free food. Of course, the grain-free part really appealed to our lady servant! We have to say we are addicted.... is there some sort of twelve-step program to help us??

Viva La Vishus Deer! Nom nom nom!

Enjoying some King Salmon and Potatoes Entree

YUM!

Its is very difficult for all of us to agree on a canned food, but we all agree on this one! It was delicious!

Dixie loves the dry food and doesn't waste anytime before devouring it!

So, this is new to us...... raw dehydrated food. You just reconstitute it with some water and voila! At first we were skeptical, but Dixie never even came up for air....... we are pretty sure he loves it!

Our mom is really intersted in getting the Salmon Bleu dry food for us kitties to try.

And here's the very best part......NO: Grain, By products, Fillers, Corn, Wheat, Soy, Artificial Colors and Flavorings - It's all good!

So in conclusion, we all give the Addiction Foods 14 paws up!!! We'd definitely recommend this food to our kitty and woofie friends!

Thank you, Isabel, for letting us try your food, we love it!
