Flashback Feline Friday: Best of Mudpie 1

Meows from Mudpie!

Would you believe in a couple months I'll be celebrating FIVE whole years with Mommy? We thought it might be fun through the summer to take a look at some "Best of Mudpie" moments leading up to the big day, starting with one of my favorite toys.

This KONG Triangle Play Mat was one of the very first things I got to review as part of Chewy's Blogger Outreach Program. I loved napping in it, playing in it, and shooting through it like a cannon as you'll see in the video below! 





Sadly my play mat got put away long ago because I outgrew it...not the fun I had with it, but because I got so big I would no longer fit through it!

Mommy often wonders about my true age. When she adopted me the shelter said I was 2-3 years old. There's no way I was as old as 3 (I was way too immature! MOL), and she wonders if 2 is even accurate. I was so teeny tiny back then, not kitten size but kind of scrawny. My eating habits were so bad she thinks I may have been somewhat malnourished because of the way I flourished in her care. Was I really younger than anyone thought or smaller than I should've been because I wasn't eating well?

When she asked about my age at my first vet appointment and mentioned how the shelter had said 2-3, all he said was "well she's certainly no older than that." Not very helpful! I guess whenever a kitty is adopted as an adult an age estimate is all you can ask for. I may be approaching middle age but I'm still a feisty tortie and cute as a button!


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).

We loved seeing your flashback! You must have been tiny because we remember that toy and we couldn't fit in it!

The Island Cats said...

What a fun flashback, Mudpie! Y'know...they just don't make those mats like they used to. ;)

The Florida Furkids said...

Thanks for the flashback. That mat looked like fun.

You are cute as a button, Mudpie. You shot though that mat very nicely.

I'm glad that you've filled out and are thriving. I know the mom loves you very much. It shows.

Thank you for joining the Feline Friday Blog Hop.

Have a purrfect Feline Friday and weekend. My best to your mom. ♥

That was fun sweet Mudpie! Telling age is easy for us tabby cats, you just count the rings on our tail.

What a darling video, Mudpie!

How exciting that you've been with your human for coming on five years!

Three Chatty Cats said...

Yeah, I also wonder about our dog's true age. He's at least 18! I'm glad you've been with your mom for nearly 5 years - 5 happy and wonderful years!

Eastside Cats said...

The rescue said that Manny and CB were 10 months old, but the vet said they were closer to 3 years! I was aghast, so he said, maybe 2, but no younger. No matter, they weren't ever going anywhere! But the difference between a 10 mo. old kitten and a 3ish year old cat should be evident to that rescue...

Memories of Eric and Flynn said...

That was fun to see your video. It is a pity you can't get a better idea of a cat's age from it's teeth like you can with horses.

ANGEL ABBYGRACE said...

It can't be 5 years! Where does the time go to Mudpie? You sure were having fun with that play mat.

Angel, Kirby and Max said...

It is so hard to tell age by size. Angel was estimated to be 6 months old and now is the same size at almost 13. She is still as playful as a kitten.

Happy Gotcha Week! You may not have your fun mat, but we bet you have fun toys!

Gosh 0 we had thought you were a kitten when you were gotcha'd. But no matter how old, you are still having fun and enjoying yourself, so have a wonderful Gotcha Week !

Time goes by quickly, I can't believe it has been 5 whole years. You are a lucky girl. XO

The Swiss Cats said...

That mat looks like a lot of fun ! What a fun flashback ! Purrs

The Menagerie Mom said...

Mudpie, we're so glad that 5 years ago you found your forever mommy and that she took you to your forever home. We're so happy for both of you, because you two were meant for each other!
