Maggie May - Best Use of Catnip Feature

Maggie May would like to thank Fin for hosting the Acatemy Awards and for her golden statue! Congratulations to all those who participated and won. Everyone is a winner!!

Maggie May has posted a new video over on her personal blog today, so stop by if you'd like.

***Update on Cal***

Well guys, Cal isn't doing as well as we would like. He is eating, which is great, but his litter box issues have not gotten any better. Cal is going in tomorrow for radiographs, if they don't show any obvious masses, the next step is a exocrine pancreatic insufficiency profile. The lady is feeling pretty down and helpless, so if we don't visit as much as usual, this is why. We're all trying to think positive. Please purr for Cal.

Maggie May - Acatemy Awards Entry

Here is our entry for Fin's Acatemy Awards!

This movie is a classic and first debuted on Maggie May's personal blog in January.

This was Maggie May's first experience with nip and the screened-in porch on an unseasonably warm January day.

Enjoy!

You've Got A Friend - Friends Friday & CC Update

Time for Friends Friday!!!

Today we are introducing another friend of ours from the great state of Texas. Her name is EmmyLou and she has been blogging since May 2008. Emmy goes on camping and hiking adventures with her family in the great outdoors!Her interest include birds, chipmunks, squirrels, mice, and hiking! She sounds like an awful lot of fun and she looks so very much like our Rambler!

We hope everyone will stop by Emmy's and say hello!

***A Note From CC***

Well, I had a good time with the fish. Unfortunately, too much fun for him, may he rest in peace. My new mom would like to know where to get another laser light for me, she washed mine in one of the kids pockets....silly mom!
Well, i'll keep in touch!

XOXO,
CC

We just signed up for Miz Allie Cat Swap N Tails!!

Goodbye, sweet Misty.

Won't Get Fooled Again

Cal is a complex individual, with a complex disease, IBD. His appetite waxes and wanes, his stools are normal one day, "Cal pies" the next, likes a food one week, the next week not so much, etc.

See the picture above? This was last Tuesday. Now, last Tuesday the lady brought home this bag of food she had special ordered at the cat food store. It has duck, limited ingredients, and great reviews. As soon as she snipped a hole in the top, Cal jumped in head first. This made the lady very happy because he would no longer eat the food he was once so fond of. Well, Cal really loved this new food.....for all of 3 days.

See what happens with Cal is this......

Cal loves a food and then will just stop eating it altogether. So the lady will go to the cat food store, get a couple of cans of a different food, bring it home and Cal just loves it. The lady hits the internet and orders a case, you know, cause it's cheaper than the cat food store. The lady gets an email confirmation that the food is on it's way.......then BAM! Just like clockwork --Cal refuses to eat the food, wouldn't touch it with a ten foot tail, he's just not that into it! Now, the lady is all too aware that switching foods in an IBD cat is not a good thing, but it's like the vet told her.......Cal has to eat.

The lady never learns, Cal has fooled her more times than she can count. I mean, just look at our stash of foods. Looks like we're stockpiling for the apocalypse! She can't help it though, seeing Cal have interest in food, sends her running to the internet to find the best deal and/or coupons for whichever food he is into that week. This week just so happens to be Chick-hen Soup dry kitten food...........why not! Since there are seven of us and the lady feeds two feral colonies, this food will be put to good use. She keeps it on hand for a while to re-introduce the food to Cal to see if he will give it another try.

We want to give a big thank you to The Cat Street Boyz for this pawsome award! You guys rock!

We are gonna pass it along to:

JB's Small World, Piggy and Grover and Perfectly Parker!

Purple Haze - Nip Naner Movie

We musta been the last kitties in the blogosphere to get a cat nip naner! Finally, the lady bought us one. She had to order some stinky goodness from an online store, and in order to use a $5.00 off coupon, her total had to be $30.00 or more. This lady is all about coupons and saving a buck! She adds the foods to the cart and the total was $24.99, off by -$5.01 --oh, so close! So what does she do? She adds a $5.99 cat nip naner to the cart. Now, we may not be the sharpest pencils in the box, but that didn't make too much sense to us. She spends $5.99 so she could save $5.00?!?! She rationalized it by saying it was like getting the naner for free. Anything to use that coupon :rolls eyes:

Whatever, we got a nip naner! Here's a video of us enjoying nip naner bliss.

Hey! Someone call Jeff VanVonderen over at A&E, Maya's in need of a nip intervention!

Happy Valentine's Day !!
