First #SundaySelfie on Mommy's New Phone

Meows from Mudpie!

There was a disaster at our house this week. Mommy's phone died. She ignored the critical warning about storage space one too many times and it completely froze up Wednesday morning. After several attempts at getting it back up and running she gave up and bought a new one. Then she was a couple hours chatting online trying to get it set up. By Wednesday evening her blood pressure was most likely 200/200.

The good news is most things transferred over to the new phone, including a voice mail message from my Grandpa she had kept. The bad news is many photos and all the notes she had in a Notebook app weren't backed up anywhere. She's especially sick over the notes because many have sentimental value of things she wanted to remember from the past few years losing Grandma and Grandpa. She's praying she can find a data recovery specialist to attempt a data dump. 

As if that wasn't bad enough I haven't been feeling great so Mommy said we should schedule my 6- month senior check-up a little early. Can anyone hide me for awhile?

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

1. I have been ignoring things that need to be done for too long.

2. Today's pop culture bores me.

3. Too many tourists is my main criticism of the fall foliage season in my area.

4. If I threw a Halloween party, it would include exclusively black cat decorations.

Mad Hatter Tea Party

Meows from Mudpie!

When we heard about the Mad Hatter Tea Party our friends at Zoolatry were throwing, we couldn't wait to join in the festivities! Ann and June made me look even more divine than usual!

Mommy has a funny Alice in Wonderland story to share. When she was a little girl her parents took her to a theme park (she can't remember which it was) that had an Alice in Wonderland attraction. Mommy was scared and demanded they go through the attraction backwards because she was worried about shrinking! Wasn't she silly? She downright refused to go through the normal way. Needless to say they got their fair share of strange looks from the other families!

I do believe I'll have a cup of English Breakfast tea now. Come join us!

Tummy Fuzz

Meows from Mudpie! 

Remember how back in August when I was sedated to have my ears cleaned out the vet also shaved my tummy of some mats? It's already starting to grow back and today when we were looking out the back door Mommy noticed how cute the incoming fuzz looks, so of course she had to take a picture of it.

Alas, it might not last long because the vet suggested possibly doing a kidney ultrasound at my 6-month checkup, so it'll probably end up getting shaved again.

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

Mudpie's answers:

1. Getting Mommy to give me anything I want (even if it's not good for me) is a useful skill that I have.

2. I recharge by napping on Mommy's lap. Sometimes I drift off so deeply that when I wake up I have to look around to remember where I am! Mommy always laughs when I look up at her like, "who are you?"

Mommy's answers:

3. My job as a data specialist taught me pretty much everything I know about computers.

4. I wouldn't mind visiting a house haunted by all of my dearly departed cats.

Feline Friday: Where Do Squeezies Come From?

Meows from Mudpie! 

Remember how I said the other day that Mommy told me the squirrels and chipmunks are running around like crazy because they're busy gathering food for the winter? 

Right after that we saw this meme on Facebook and it's a very valid question!

Feline Friday is simple to join. All you have to do is:

Post a picture, drawing, cartoon or video of a cat (They may be silly or cute). 

Fun Feline Finds for Halloween from Etsy

Mommy started to decorate for Halloween a few weeks ago, then got so busy with adulting stuff she hasn't finished yet! Needless to say, our Halloween shopping guide is also late, but better late than never!

There are so many creative people out there creating pawsome kitty items, and we thought we'd share some of our favorite finds (for both humans and cats) with you today!
