Chicken Fried

Maggie May was so happy to receive her runner up prize from Baby Patches Spring Photo Contest. Baby Patches is Chief Kit at her mom's store, suppliesjustforpets.com. Once again, we were very impressed by the super fast shipping! Maggie May chose the VitaKitty Chicken Cat Treats. Not only are these treats yummy, they are also healthy and use cage-free chicken! All of us kitties here on the creek enjoyed these treats. Although Ferris wanted to, the lady made sure he didn't run of with these, like he did the party mix. We give these treats 12 paws up!
Thank you Baby Patches!

A Little Bit Of Green

We participated in our first Swap N Tails in March. The theme was green! We sent a package to Miz Allie Cat while Pearl, Bert and Jake sent us this very cool green package. There was party mix treats, fuzzy bugs, nip toys, and a green mouse. There was also some treats for the Dixie Dog, and a very pretty decorated Easter egg and kitty note pad for the lady. They also included a very cute Spring card! Thank you, Pearl, Bert and Jake! We love our green gifts!

As you can see, Ferris got a little carried away with the party mix. Ever heard of sharing, Ferris?? You aren't the only cat in this house and last we checked the mailing label says The Creek Cats, not just Ferris!

Miz Allie Cat is currently looking for participants for April's swap. If you are interested, visit Swap N Tails to sign up! The theme for April is purple!

Thank You For Being A Friend

Spunky and Soccer Ball come by and visit pretty much every afternoon. They don't really come for food, they mostly come to steal our servant's attention and get scritches. We don't really appreciate that.

As you can see, Rambler doesn't appreciate it either, as he gives them his best laser eyes.

Thanks to Jasmine for this Lemonade Award!! We have already passed this one, but if anyone hasn't received it yet..... it's for you!

Powder and Puff's Birthday Commentathon was a great success! They raised $25.00 for the TNR organization our lady volunteers for, in honor of Cal.

Thanks to Cory who raised $34.00 by donating 25 for every comment left on Powder and Puff's birthday post and Cory's own birthday post! That's a total of $59.00! WOW! We can't thank you guys enough and everyone who participated! We have phenomenal friends! Words can't describe..... Ya'll did Cal proud!

Concats to TigerLily for winning Baby Patches Spring Photo Contest! Maggie May took home Runner Up, along with sweet Chilli and handsome Ginger Jasper! She can't wait to get her treat prize. Concats to all who participated! We know Baby Patches had such a hard decision because there were 43 wonderful entries!

All You Need Is Love - Commentathon and Raising Money

Love is all you need.

***Special Announcement***

Shadow and Molly are having a raffle to raise green papers for Caboodle Ranch to build a fence to keep the coyotes away from the kitties. Tickets are only $2.00, there is a package for kitties and a package for woofies in the raffle with hand knitted blankets!

Caboodle Ranch is a 30 acre non-profit cat rescue society; founded by a single individual who cared enough to make a difference in the lives of our fuzzy little friends. Gotta love that!

***We feel the love***

In honor of Powder and Puff's 11th birthdays, they are celebrating with a commentathon to help raise money for the TNR organization the lady volunteers with, in honor of our sweet Cal! We are so touched by their kindness! Happy Birthday Powder and Puff and thanks to everyone at Perfectly Parker's!

Now Cory has joined in the commentathon! Cory says, "my mom is going to send 25 cents in honor of Cal for every Birthday wish you send to Powder and Puff...plus we'll add 25 cents for every comment left on my birthday post."

We don't even know what to say! Thank you doesn't seem like enough!

Pink

Well, we thought it was time to get back into the swing of things again and blog. We had to share this amazing gift from great friends of the servants, Neal and Jen. This was Cal in his Halloween 2008 costume....... he was a Calboy ;) It's printed on canvas and looks like a painting, we love it! The servants hung it in our kitchen, his favorite room in the house.

*Due to graphic subject matter, viewer discretion is advised!*

The lady bought an old real wood desk at the TNR yard sale for 10 bucks. Most people would maybe sand it, refinish with stain and stick some new hardware on, right? Well, not our crazy servant lady, oh no! For those of you who shutter at the thought of paint touching good wood, be sure to look away, for you've been warned!

Before

After

Over the weekend she commited the crime of painting real wood. She now pleads temporary insanity stating she was greif-stricken, so we're letting her off easy. No need to adjust the color settings on your monitor........ it really is hot pink. It's now her art desk in the loft. All we can say is, at least it's not downstairs in the living room for all to see.

Thanks to everyone again for the outpouring of purrs we've received. We are so touched and they are all appreciated.

Wish You Were Here

I was lucky enough to capture some very good footage and pictures of Cal last month. He was very happy, grazing in the grass and rolling around on the gravel, tail just a flickin' - that's how we're going to remember him. We were just a couple of kids when he came into our lives ten years ago. He was our first cat as a couple. Like they say, one cat leads to another, and now, in our full house of 6 cats and a dog......... it sure does feel empty.

Thank you, all of you, for your very kind words, hugs, purrs, purrayers, thoughts, etc. They mean more than you could ever know.

Piece of My Heart - Movie and Sad News

The lady ordered a Happy Kitty Hearrrt Attack from Baby Patches store Supplies Just 4 Pets. We are obviously thrilled with our purchase and the store's super fast shipping! But, once again, only ONE toy was purchased and a few scuffles ensued as you can see in the video. When will the lady ever learn to buy more than one? ::rolls eyes::

We give the Happy Kitty Hearrrt Attack 14 paws up! We have our eyes on some other toys over at Supplies Just 4 Pets, like this wicked chipmunk! He's just asking for the bitey!

UNEXPECTED SAD NEWS

***Cal was unexpectedly helped over the rainbow bridge this morning. There was nothing more we could do to help him and it was time to let him go. When I woke up this morning he was not acting like himself and was having difficulty walking. Dr. D said he acquired free fluid in his abdomen over night that was making it hard to breathe. We were both there as he passed and he definitely took a huge piece of our hearts with him. Thanks to all of you for your kind words and prayers during his sickness.*** Thank you KC for this beautiful graphic.
