Claiming What's Mine #PetPhotoFails

Meows from Mudpie!

Thank you for joining us for this month's edition of the Pet Photo Fails blog hop!

The weather in my neck of the woods is just purrfect right now. It's warm and sunny during the daytime so I can do lots of sunbathing, and the evenings are still nice and chilly so Mommy and I can sneak in some cuddle time. Wish it could be like this year round! 


My blooper this month came when I was trying to snap a selfie. Looks like I hit the button before I was ready!


Mommy also wanted to me share this picture of her hand and arm to further explain my holding on post from Wednesday.  What can I say? I don't want her getting away. Little does she know this is my handwriting and it says, "Property of Mudpie!"


Those are my bloopers...let's see yours!

Caturday Art


Visit more artsy kitties at Athena's Caturday Art blog hop!



And now our weekly answers for the Friendly Fill-Ins challenge, hosted by 15andmeowing and Four-Legged Furballs!

1. If I had to choose a fictional world to live in it would be the Hettie Bagshot books. (All cats, no people!)

2. A Christmas Carol is a book or movie that changed my life. I just adore it.

3. As a kid, I gave jello the name wiggle wiggle.

4. If I had a parrot, I would teach it to say Hello Darlin'.

Tortoiseshell Cat Appreciation Day

Mommy here! 

Over the past 19 years I've been the lucky cat mom to a trio of torties. To say I think these feisty, unique felines are one of God's most beautiful creations would be an understatement. I love everything about their sweet souls and tender hearts, tortitude and all.

Nowadays there's a national day set aside to celebrate just about anything you can think of, and today is Tortoiseshell Cat Appreciation Day.


For anyone interested in reading about my history with torties, it can be found in my article A Decade of Tortitude: The Magic & Mystique Of My Heart Cats, which won a Certificate of Excellence from the Cat Writers Association many years ago.

Since this is a day to turn the internet brown, tan, gold, black, cinnamon, and every tortie color in between, we thought it would be the purrfect time to share once again the very special legend explaining how they got their unique colors, loosely translated from the Spanish version.


We hope you'll join us today in sharing your torties all over social media. The internet will be a much more beautiful place over the next 24 hours now that we've given them a day to take over the world! (Officially, anyways. Anyone owned by a tortie knows they already own their little corner of the world!)

CHEESE!

Meows from Mudpie!

Mommy is so tickled she got this video.

To set the scene - I love cheese. It's probably my third favorite thing in the world after squeezies and chicken. (Oops! Sorry Mommy! Love you bunches too!

Cheese isn't really good for kitties, but a couple times a week Mommy has crackers and cheese or a cheese sandwich for lunch, and she shares a few nibbles with me. 

Here's the fun part - I've learned the word CHEESE, and Mommy loves to get me all excited for it before I get my treat.

How adorable is this???
