Far Away - Goodbye Aunt Bee

You will be greatly missed, sweet friend.

Bad Boys

Hi everyone, Cal here. I would like to start off this post by thanking everyone for stopping by and wishing us all a Happy New Year! Next we would like to thank Kimo and Sabi for this pawsome book we won in their drawing a few weeks ago. Thanks guys!!!

Now I am going to tell you that I have been a very bad boy. Yep, that's right......I am bad! I am a bad Cal! A few nights ago while everyone was sleeping, I pried open the bi-fold doors to the pantry and had a little midnight snack. I was able to break into Dixie's food bin and then tore my way into a bag of kitty crunchies the lady feeds to ferals. Truth be told I had a little help from my partner in crime, Ferris. He is very good at prying doors open!

When the lady came down stairs for our 6:30 am feeding the next morning she couldn't understand why we weren't running around crazy and meowing for our breakfast, it was odd behavior, we were calm! Then she noticed the pantry doors were wide open and proceeded to blame the man servant for leaving them open after getting a snack, which he denied and she didn't believe...hehehe! Then the evidence was discovered, yeah, we are not too good at covering our tracks. Her half-asleep eyes didn't notice the shredded bag under the pantry rack upon first inspection. What did get her full attention was the not-to-pleasant surprise in the litter box. Since I suffer from IBD, I am only supposed to eat my special canned foods. Eating anything else will literally run right through me, and it did! So that morning I received a bath and some meds. I am happy to report I am feeling much better.

Come Together

Please click the picture above to vote for the TNR group our lady volunteers for. Voting for the them could get them one vote closer to $10,000.00! This money could spay and neuter lots and lots of homeless cats and help prevent the suffering of kittens born to feral mothers.

Happy New Year to all!! XOXO

Family Tradition

The man and lady had a great Christmas. On Christmas Eve they hosted a family gathering and opened some gifts. We were "locked away" in various rooms while they had dinner. We were not happy! The lady was super happy because she got Guitar Hero Aerosmith for the Wii.
The Niece and Nephew were there and they got lots of cool stuff too. The Niece got a kitty doll that purrs, meows, lays down, sits up.....it even hisses if you pull it's tail! She named her Genevieve.

8 Randoms about Maizy Grace

1. I love to play in the sink (I let the water run all over my head, then shake the water off on to the counter and floor. I think the lady likes when I do this too)

2. I love the man so much, I think it's his fragrance that draws me to him(I just love the smell of racing fuel, brake dust and burnt rubber)

3. One of my favorite things to do is help the lady with her art (I sit in her lap and point out any mistakes I see and constructively criticize)

4. In addition to helping her with art I also love to fluff laundry (The laundry is not done until I put my furs all over it)

5. I love heights and danger is my middle name (Ok, it's really Grace, but you get the picture)

6. Ferris Bueller is my brofur (We are very close, thick as thieves)

7. Out of all my brofurs and sisfurs, Dixie dog is my favorite to nap with (She is like a giant heating pad for me to snuggle with when its cold)

8. I am a nip addict (Hi, my name is Maizy Grace and I love the nip)

Toys In The Attic - Thanks Merlin

We would like to thank all of you for the Christmas wishes and cards. We would also like to give a special thanks to Merlin of the Fluffy Tribe for the pawsome Secret Paws gifts! We don't have your blog url, so if you read this please be sure to leave it in the comments or email it so we can add you to our blog list! We all had such a great time playing with all the toys. Even Cal, who has been pretty sick this year with IBD, had so much fun. It is the first time we have seen him play in a very long time!

Thanks again!! XOXO
