What's More Important? #SundaySelfie

Meows from Mudpie!

Mommy keeps "important papers" in this box. 

They can wait. I'm more important! 

Pay attention to me!

We're joining our friends at The Cat on My Head for the Sunday Selfies blog hop!

1. Staying up until midnight is a New Year's tradition for me. Of course I'm always up at midnight anyways LOL.

2. Rearranging is not the same as decluttering. I have a nasty habit of moving clutter from one spot to another to get it out of the way instead of just getting rid of it. 

3. I would pick Jesus Take the Wheel as my theme song for 2026.

4. I'm a coward when it comes to my medical care but brave when my pet needs care. I try to avoid the doctor and "tough things out" as much as I can, but if my pet needs care, they get it ASAP. 

Happy Mew Year 2026

Meows from Mudpie!

Who's ready to bury 2025 in the litter box and move on to 2026? I sure am!

Here's to a new year filled with cuddles, smooches, and squeezies!!!

Paws & Claws 2025 Gift Exchange

I'm super excited to tell you about my Paws & Claws Gift Exchange package from our sweet friends Angel, Coco, YumYum, and Mom Nancy from A Wizard and an Angel. 

Mommy loves taking pictures of prezzies before the chaos begins.

Wrapped up inside all that pretty paper was this cool stuff! 

They got me SQUEEZIES and a bunch of fun toys, all in pink and purple (our favorite colors)!

Mommy and I also got a cozy fleece Christmas blankie to cuddle up with.

Mommy said she hasn't seen me have this much fun in quite awhile.

I went completely nuts over all the feathers.

It did Mommy's heart good to see me so happy.

Between losing Mo, finding out I'm diabetic, and then losing Grandpa, it's been a horrible few months so this was a big bright spot for both of us.

*************************************************

What follows is a series of pictures Mommy took of me playing with my cool new toys.

Most are better suited for the blooper reel, but we think they show how much fun I was having!

I was grabbing at everything...I didn't know what to play with first!

Mommy and I both want to thank Angel, Coco, YumYum, and Mom Nancy so very much for their thoughtful, generous, and purr-fectly wonderful gifts. 

Many thanks as well to Gabriel, Giovanni, and Mom Sierra

for organizing this wonderful event that makes many blogging kitties very, very happy.

Now I have a very important question...how many days until Paws & Claws 2026???

What's That Mysterious Object in the Sky? #SundaySelfie

Meows from Mudpie!

When Mommy opened the door yesterday morning there was a big, bright object shining down from the sky. I was confused, so Mommy reminded me it was the sun.

Oh yeah! It's been so long since we've seen it I had forgotten! Not that it does much good. It's brutally cold! Mommy and I are spending so much time cuddling she said we're going to melt into each other. Neither of us are complaining though! Snuggled together is our very favorite place to be.

Mudpie the Reindeer #CaturdayArt

Meows from Mudpie!

I was super excited to be included in the 7th Annual Bloggers Meowy Catmas Show over at the Peaches and Paprika blog. They created a new Christmas graphic for me that we absolutely adore! I make a pretty cute reindeer, don't you think?

1. The best part of 2025 was Dad staying out of the hospital until the fall.

2. My focus word for 2026 is reset.

3. I always get sad in the days after Christmas.

4. I've had enough stress to last a lifetime. (Haven't we all???)

My Litter Box Attacked Me! #PetPhotoFails

Meows from Mudpie!

Can you believe it's time for the final Pet Photo Fails blog hop of the year?

My blooper this month isn't so much a photo, but a moment that needs to be retold...

For the past 6 months we've been using pine pellets for litter from Tractor Supply. It's gone really well - Mommy was happy that I took to it right away - but the pellets are quite lightweight compared to clay litter so she always figured I would upend my litter box one day.

Well, that day came on Monday evening. She was on her laptop in the living room and I went into the bathroom to do my number twos. (She can always tell what I've done by how much scratching goes on.) After I did my business and finished covering it up I jumped out of my potty and Mommy heard a slamming noise that instantly told her my litter box had tipped over. 

She expected a mess to clean up in the bathroom, what she didn't expect was...

ME flying out of the bathroom COVERED in the sawdust from the pine pellet litter!!! Thank Cod there's no photographic evidence. I looked like those photos and videos you see online of cats that have gotten into the flour or sugar in the kitchen! Then once I reached the living room I shook myself to get as much off as I could! 

Mommy started laughing hysterically! To her credit, she cleaned me off first, then the bathroom, then she had to vacuum the living room rug. She's still laughing hysterically as she writes about it!

Not funny, Mommy. Not funny at all. That was traumatic!
