Feline Friday Flashback: Mudpie's Summer Clubhouse

Meows from Mudpie!

We first posted this photo 4 years ago today, on July 18, 2021. This big box still lives in our front hall, but I don't use it as much as I used to. Mommy says she could use it for storage, but since I still take a nap in it once in awhile it stays right where it is. 

This is what I said about it in my original post -

I commandeered this super cool Walmart box that arrived a couple weeks ago. I've got some stuffies in here, fun crinkle paper to sleep on, and my Tower of Tracks toy is just outside on my front porch. I even get snacks and squeezies in here. The only thing I have to leave it for is to use the little girl's room! It fits me purrfectly, and it's all mine. NO BOYZ ALLOWED!

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). 

Christmas in July

Meows from Mudpie!

Today we want to thank the wonderful Miss Ellen of 15 and Meowing for the pawsome Christmas in July package she sent us.

She sent Mommy a DVD containing a movie on NASCAR legend Richard Petty, Nightmare Before Christmas sticker sheets, and loads of kitty stickers, and she sent me the cutest little watermelon toy we've ever seen...

...which I look forward to playing with if the temperature ever dips below elebenty billion degrees again! 

We can't thank Miss Ellen and her kitties enough for always thinking of us during Christmas in July and picking out the most purrfect gifts!

1. A word to describe my life right now would be stressful.

2. Mo drives me batty. He has gotten incredibly fussy.

3. When it comes to my extended family, I'm most known for being a cat lady.

4. Home is my idea of cozy. All of my favorite things are here.

Wordless Wednesday: Just Charging the Kitty

 

Tara & Truffles...Forever Loved, Forever Missed

 

Today marks the 10th anniversary of the day my baby girl Truffles flew off to the bridge, and the 12th anniversary of the day her big sister Tara paved the way before her.

It goes without saying this is the hardest day of the year for me. Comprehending the tragic set of circumstances that took Truffles from me far before her time is something I will always struggle with, and most likely something I will never be able to accept. She deserved so much more from life. And the fact that I lost them both on the same day two years apart makes me wish I could scratch this date right off the calendar.

In honor of my precious girls, please give your own fur babies a little something special today. Maybe an extra hug or kiss, a few more minutes of play or cuddle time, extra treats wouldn't hurt either.

Our time together is so fleeting; their fragile lives all too short. Never miss an opportunity to show them how much they're loved.

1. My plans for July 4th include just staying home.

2. I don't care for fireworks.

3. I'm grateful that I have the freedom to be a stay at home cat mom (and take care of my dad).

4. I wish I could do a factory reset on the last 5 years.
