Feline Friday: Today is National Drive-Thru Day

Meows from Mudpie! 

I'm vet bound for an ear check this afternoon (send help!) but today I'm remembering a vet visit from a few years ago. Ironically, that one was to check my ears too! 

On the way home Mommy decided to stop at the bank. She didn't want to leave me alone in the car while she went inside so we used the drive-thru! I took the opportunity to ask the teller about opening a squeezie account. He said something about needing ID, a Social Security Number, and a minimum opening deposit amount, none of which I had.

Oh well, I tried to find a way to support myself and it didn't work out. Good thing I can always depend on Mommy!

How I Deal with Thunderboomers

Meows from Mudpie! 

I know lots of kitties are petrified of the July 4th boomers.

Me? 

Mommy snapped this picture of me on July 3, the night of our town fireworks. As the pounding went on outside I was sound asleep in my cat tree by the window! 

I'm a very brave tortie.

So Much Love #SundaySelfie

Meows from Mudpie! 

The other day I wanted to check out the front door again so Mommy came over to open it for me. She's old now (LOL) and didn't want to stand there while I did my sniffing, so she sat down on the floor next to me. That's when I decided I didn't want to look out after all, I wanted to climb onto her lap for some loving.

She swooned. I have that effect on her.

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

1. A quickly draining cell phone battery is a first world problem I have. My phone is an Android from 2019 and I've already replaced the battery once to extend the life of the phone. Now the replacement battery is gasping for breath. 

2. I'll never understand why so many people enjoy pools, beaches and swimming. Maybe I'm a prude but I find the thoughts of being half clothed around total strangers to be rather gross. Not to mention who knows what's been going on in the water...

3. My sense of humor would be best described as sarcastic.

4. I think schools should teach common sense. It's obviously seriously lacking.

Feline Friday Flashback: Tara the Exhibitionist

Meows from Mudpie!

It's been a long time since we shared this super cute flashback so with summer in full swing we thought it might make new (and old) readers smile. 

Angel Tara had very thick fur (same as me) and suffered terribly in the summer. Mommy would brush enough fur out of her on a regular basis to make another cat (again, same as me!) but she would still lie around the house prostrate from the heat.

The following photos are a few of our favorites of Tara. Mommy kept a small desk fan near her at all times, and one day she looked over to see her back legs straddling the fan, her little hips moving as it turned back and forth. If only we had video of this absolutely priceless moment!!!

My, what a little exhibitionist she was!

National Hot Dog Day with a Friend

Meows from Mudpie!

Today is National Hot Dog Day so Mommy pulled out a cute little stuffie of a doxie dressed as a wiener made by Annalee Dolls, a popular manufacturer of dolls in New Hampshire. Did you know that Mommy's favorite breed of dog is the dachshund? I used to wonder if I might end up having to live with one someday, but Mommy says she doesn't have the energy for a dog anymore. Kitties are much more her speed! 

It's hard to tell but as Mommy snapped this picture I was giving the little guy a lick. He didn't taste very good.

My Grandpa LOVED hot dogs. He used to say that in his younger days he would eat several cold hot dogs for lunch each day! Even in later years anytime Mommy didn't know what to have for dinner he would ask for a hot dog. She hasn't had one since he's been gone. Not because it would make her sad, but because she's not that big of a hot dog fan herself!

Road Pizza??? #SundaySelfie

Meows from Mudpie! 

Last weekend Mommy put the screen on our front door. We haven't used it in years because of the traffic noise on our street, but Mommy figured it's worth putting up with some noise to get a north wind coming into the house. 

It took me several days to notice but I finally did, and yesterday Mommy held the door open for me a few inches like she does at the side door. I liked it so she opened the door a bit wider...and I started to jump out! She had to grab me! 

Then she asked if I wanted to become road pizza. I know she loves pizza but road pizza doesn't sound like a good thing. I decided to just snap my selfie for the week instead.
