Here are the rules of the game:

Then tag 5 friends.

We used the 6th folder from 2009 and here is what we found.......
This photo is of Maizy Grace and Ferris taking over Dixie Dog's new bed, because EVERYTHING is a cat bed!

We are tagging anyone who would like to play along!!! So go....play!


We'd also like to thank The Kitty Krew for this great award! It's called the "Your Blog is a Dream" award...... why, thank you! We think their blog is a dream too!
The rules for this award is to list 7 beauty tips and pass along to 7 bloggers.

1. Drink plenty of water, preferably straight from the tap or from a water fountain. If neither of those are available, a glass sitting out on the table will do just fine.

2. Keeping your nails short and neat is very important, so file them often. Nails can be filed on the side of the couch. Door facings and bed quilts also work very well for filing.

3. Oral hygiene is a must! Climb up on the bathroom sink and chomp down repeatedly on your servant's toothbrush. And don't neglect your back teeth or your tongue.

4. Exercise is paramount in keeping a healthy weight and figure. We recommend using the staircase as a racetrack. If a staircase is unavailable, try jumping up on the kitchen counters or even the master bed. This exercise is most efficient before dawn.

5. Keep your arms toned and muscular by whapping. You can whap your sibling, your toys, or even better...... whap items off of the nightstand at night. You know, like the remote, alarm clock, or better yet, a glass of water. Be sure to drink some of the spilled water, as stated in beauty tip #1.

6. A good posture is easy to acheive when you have good balance. Find a balance beam in your home and walk it daily. If you don't have a balance beam, a loft railing or shower curtain rod will work just fine! Remember, practice makes perfect!

7. Lastly, always get plenty of sleep. The most effective sleep is done during the day, that way you can do all your exercising during the night.

We hope you all enjoyed our beauty tips! We tag anyone who would like to play along!

Well, our servants are back from playing in the bushes, but we've been ignoring them to teach them a lesson about leaving us!

This afternoon, Reilly and Sebastian go to the vet for their vaccinations and to find out when they can have their neuters!

Help! - Maggie May Movie

This is why Maggie May has her very own litter box upstairs
with no kitty doors to go through!

****Special Bulletin......We're Pissed****

Our servants will be leaving us bright and early Friday morning to go play in the bush gardens of Virginia. We have bushes here....... why can't they just play in the bushes in our yard? We've heard that the bush gardens in Virginia has a Big Bad Wolf and a Loch Ness Monster. Are they nuts? Well, thank goodness they aren't bringing us with them!

That's one scary looking monster!

Luckily, they will be coming home on Saturday morning. In the meantime, our man servant's mother will be feeding and scooping, but it just won't be the same. So. Not. Happy!

Hold On - Wordless Wednesday

Calling Dr. Love

Maizy Grace and Ferris had their yearly exams and vaccinations this morning. Maizy Grace weighed in at 12.8lbs while Ferris tipped the scale at 16lbs! That means we are gonna have to do a little "weight watching." It would probably help if they weren't so lazy.
Anyway, the appointment went very well and Maizy was an absolute sweetheart, rubbing against the vet and tech, but she cried the ENTIRE 30 minute trip to and from the vet's office. They both had yucky ears, even after the lady cleaned them, so we came home with some anti-fungal solution to use 2x per week. Vaccinations tend to make them feel pretty lousy, so they'll sleep pretty much the entire afternoon.

Boys Of Summer

Here is our Surfin' Safari entry for Baby Patches contest giveaway! If you'd like to vote for us, you can do so HERE! Thanks!

So, our servants are on staycation from their day jobs this week. This does not mean they are on staycation from working for us.... hope they know that! Anyhoo, we'll be around, but probably not as much, so please don't forget about us! Purrs!

Let It Ride - Updated, links now working

On August 1st, our friend and local biologist, Paul Rudershausen will embark on a cross-country bike ride to benefit the Outer Banks Wildlife Shelter. Paul's journey will begin in Coos Bay, Oregon (Cory Cat's home state) and will take him through a dozen states and over 3000 miles to his final destination of Atlantic Beach, NC.

Paul has been a dedicated OWLS volunteer for three years. He's taking this journey at his own expense and all donations will go directly to the Outer Banks Wildlife Shelter. His goal is to raise $10,000 to help improve the facilities and to fund the construction of a large mammal cage.

There are several ways you can support Paul's cause:
•Make a secure online donation at pedal4wildlife.org
•Follow Paul's journey via his blog
•Join Paul's cause on facebook
•Tell your friends about his incredible journey
•Volunteer at OWLS

Check out the media coverage:

Jacksonville Daily News

Carteret County News-Times

We hope everyone will follow Paul and cheer him on during his incredible journey for wildlife. Chances are he will be riding through a town near you! Go Paul Go! Go Paul Go!

OWLS is a 501(c)3 tax-exempt charitable organization whose mission is to rehabilitate and release injured and orphaned animals and teach the public how to coexist peacefully with wildlife.

See you at the bridge, sweet Max! Give Cal nosetaps for us!

Happy 4th of July weekend to all!

Shining Star

We are now the proud owners of a SNIPPET! His name is Alvin and we won him in a giveaway over at Carrie's Snippet blog! Carrie is a wonderful artist who creates these Snippets, mixed media paintings and other little treasures to sell at her Etsy shop. She is also a kitty rescuer and spay/neuter advocate who does TNR in her community. We think Carrie is a shinning star!

Carrie hopes to use her artwork not only to spread joy and fun to others, but also to promote the absolute necessity of spaying and neutering pets in order to end the tragic reality of pet overpopulation. Hence, the name, Snippets!
Through the Snippets, Carrie hopes to raise awareness about spaying and neutering and eventually create a fund that will go toward building high volume, low cost and mobile spay/neuter clinics across the country. That's the BIGdream...Snippet Mobiles and Snippet Clinics in every city! Please consider purchasing a piece of Snippet art and make that dream a reality. --From thesnippets on Etsy

We just love our snippet, Alvin! We have him high up on the shelf (out of the lady's clumsy reach) next to our "catfish creek" plate from the Cat Street Boyz. We think snippets would make great one-of-a-kind gifts for any occasion!
