Easter Art & Selfies



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

1. My favorite Easter treat is Cadbury mini eggs. This year I'll only be enjoying them if I can find them half off the day after Easter. No way I'm paying current prices! 

2. My life would be different without cats. It would be an intolerable existence. 

3. If I could, I would give an Easter basket full of rotisserie chicken to Mudpie. This is an odd (not to mention messy!) answer but between Mudpie's diabetes (still currently in remission) and CKD I don't feel comfortable giving her rotisserie chicken anymore. It was one of her very favorite treats and it breaks my heart she can longer have it.

4. Is it weird that I prefer cats to people? I don't care if it's weird or not, I freely admit that I do!

Thankful for Easter Fun

Meows from Mudpie! 

Today we're thankful for our sweet friends Lynn and Precious who sent us this cute silvervine egg. I've been having so much fun with it!


In fact, Mommy had a hard time taking my picture with it because I kept knocking it over to keep playing! 


We don't usually do anything special for Easter at our house so this was a really fun treat!

6 Months #SundaySelfie

Meows from Mudpie!

Mo ran off for the Rainbow Bridge 6 months ago today and Mommy still misses him so much. 

Now that the weather is getting a little nicer and we have the back door open more she finds herself falling into a familiar pattern of glancing out when she's in the kitchen to see if that sweet little face is looking back in. 

Many times last summer and early fall Grandpa would say he didn't look forward to another winter of worrying about Mo out there in the cold. As it would turn out neither one of them would see the winter, which breaks our hearts.


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

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

1. My plans for this weekend include running errands on Saturday and watching the NASCAR race on Sunday. My typical weekend.

2. I meant it when I said I was frugal. This purse I wanted so badly when I saw it at my local Hallmark store a couple weeks ago finally hit Amazon. I already had an almost $34 gift card balance in my Amazon account, and I cashed in my Fetch app points for a $25 gift card, so I paid $5.30 for a $60 bag!


3. I should probably go out to the garage more often so that I know what's going on in there. My neighbor's cat Aria was trapped in my garage for 2 days! I opened the garage door yesterday afternoon to take out some trash and instantly heard a cat screaming. I didn't think anything of it because she's loud anyways. Then my neighbor came running over and said Aria had been missing since Wednesday. She had even put flyers up around the neighborhood. Aria had pulled every curtain out of every window and had even been digging to get out the side door even though the floor is concrete. She must've been frantic, not to mention starving. I felt horrible!

4. I will never jump on the reality TV trend.

Looking Shocked #PetPhotoFails

Meows from Mudpie!

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


Do I look shocked in my blurry photo today? There's a good reason! 


Mommy brushes me a lot and I love it, but she rarely tackles my chest and tummy. I can't reach them all that well so I've developed a lot of knots. Every day when Mommy rubs my tummy while I'm on her lap she says we need to do something about those knots. 

Yesterday I was sitting in front of her and she could even *see* the knots on my chest, so she grabbed a comb and when I climbed into her lap she went to work. Look what she got off!!! I was shocked! 

Mommy says my tummy feels so much softer now. Good thing warmer weather is coming or I might freeze to death! As it is I'm pretty sure I lost a pound in fur.


 That's my blooper...let's see yours!

Mudpie on Video Purring!!!

Meows from Mudpie!

When Mommy first adopted me she would joke that for a tortie with a BIG voice, I had the quietest purr! That didn't last long. Now I purr like a motorboat. Make sure your volume is turned up!
