1. I feel like the holiday season is flying by way too fast.

2. By the end of the year, I want to close my regular savings accounts and open a high yield account online. Something I should've done long before now.

3. December is the month that I get a little depressed because my favorite months of the year are ending.

4. My house looks like I'm a cat loving Christmas fanatic during the holiday season. (Because 99.9% of my holiday decor is cat-related!)

Grateful Not Greedy

Meows from Mudpie!

Mommy posted this on her Facebook page the other day after gathering all my squeezie packages together to put in a festive basket. 

Mudpie is trying to decide if she has enough squeezies on hand or if 

Mommy needs to run right out and buy more. Thoughts?

The general consensus among Mommy's friends was that I needed more. I decided to check it out for myself and rub my scent on it. I told Mommy I had enough...for the time being. I know other kitties are hoping to receive squeezies for Christmas too and I don't want the shelves to be empty because of me. I don't want Santa to think I'm greedy. I'm thankful to have so much when for many kitties it's a struggle just to survive.

(It wasn't until after Mommy took this picture that she realized something had been spilled down the kitchen cupboard and she hadn't even noticed it! It's cleaned up now. How embarrassing!!!)

And now our weekly answers (all answered by Mommy this week) for the Friendly Fill-Ins challenge, hosted by 15andmeowing and Four-Legged Furballs!

1. I don't go shopping on Black Friday.

2. Our Christmas tree goes up on Veterans Day weekend and down in late January. Last winter it stayed up until late March with just the white lights on it! At that point I figured I'd better take it down or decorate it for Easter.

3. It's important to enjoy this time of year. People put too much pressure on themselves during the holidays.

4. Christmas music, TV shows, movies, and decorations help me get in the festive spirit.

Black Friday Catnapping #PetPhotoFails

Meows from Mudpie!

Thank you for joining us for this Black Friday edition of the Pet Photo Fails Blog Hop!

Who's going shopping today? As you're reading this, Mommy and I are most likely still snuggling in bed. Any Christmas shopping we do today will be online. As Mommy says, it's way too peopley out there!

Our photo fails this month were taken during a CatLadyBox unboxing. I wasn't in the mood to pose. I was taking a cue from what the shirt said and ready to take a catnap...which is exactly what I'm doing today too! 

Those are my photo fails...let's see yours!

Happy Thanksgiving 2023

 

Mudpie: I'm thankful for you, Mommy.

Mommy: I'm thankful for you too, precious!

Mudpie & Mommy: And we're BOTH thankful for all of YOU!

Happy Thanksgiving from our home to yours...

Doctor Mudpie, At Your Service...

Meows from Mudpie!

You're probably wondering why I'm wearing a surgical mask today. 

Well, Mommy has a bit of a surgical procedure coming up. She has something called a pyogenic granuloma on her lip. After getting a referral to a plastic surgeon, she's having it removed on December 4. Thankfully it's a very simple procedure that takes less than an hour, and after it's removed she'll be stitched up and sent back home to me. (I hope it doesn't prevent her from kissing me a million times per day!)

The funny thing is, a number of times in the past month I've put my paw on it or licked around it while we've been cuddling. It's really been bugging me. Mommy has something on her face...why isn't she taking it off??? I wouldn't let it stay there if it was on MY face! 

Then I started thinking...I have some pretty sharp claws, why don't I remove it here at home and save Mommy's insurance some money? My services are much cheaper - my fee is only 25 packages of squeezies. Doesn't that sound like a good deal to you?

Now hold still, Mommy. Hope this thing doesn't bleed too much...

The Stockings Were Hung... #SundaySelfie

Meows from Mudpie!

Our tree is up. My stocking is hung. (See it in the doorway behind me?)

1. I always turn up the volume when Conway comes on. Anyone surprised? LOL

2. I change the radio station when bluegrass music comes on. 

3. Once I finish sorting through my Christmas decorations I can figure out where I want to put everything. (Although I would need a 25 room house to use *everything*.) 

4. Putting the Christmas tree up on Veterans Day weekend is a tradition I always follow.

Feline Friday Flashback: Decorating the Tree

Meows from Mudpie!

Our Christmas tree went up on Sunday! Mommy did it that day to help her forget the fact there was no NASCAR race. It finally got decorated yesterday.

It brought to mind a number of years ago when I walked into the living room to find Mommy sitting on the floor with two huge Chewy boxes! Fully expecting to find them packed full of goodies for me, I ran right over to see what was inside, only to find...

Christmas tree ornaments!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Talk about a dirty trick!!! I was horrified but Mommy said the look on my little face was priceless, so she grabbed the iPad and captured the moment.
