4.You'll never hear me say "I can't wait until summer."

Happy 16th Gotcha Day, Angel Tara! #CaturdayArt
2. Ten years ago, I was preparing to say goodbye to Tara, who would be leaving for the Bridge in 6 weeks.
3. Frosty temps are the reason I haven't yet stopped cuddling with Mommy. We're lovin' it too!
4. I prefer Delectables Squeeze Ups, but I also don't mind Churu. Mommy says squeezies are a little cheaper so if we get those I can have more, but this week we got a digital coupon for a free package of Churu so we were all over that!

Feline Friday: Garfield Gripes About Spring
Earlier this spring there was a Garfield strip I loved so much I printed it out and hung it on the fridge.

Wordy Wednesday: Mudpie the Aspiring Model
Meows from Mudpie!
Last Wednesday our VCR bit the dust. Mommy was bummed because we still have tons and tons of videotapes. She even recorded on it periodically because she refuses to pay more money to the cable company for DVR service. After seeing the crazy prices online for a replacement she figured she'd be stuck keeping an eye out at thrift stores.
Then Saturday morning she went to the estate sale of a neighbor who's 98 years old and just had to move to a nursing home. The first room she walked into was his living room, and there was a VCR still hooked up to his TV for only $15! Just days after ours died, it's like it was fate and she immediately bought it.
After bringing it home she laid it on the kitchen floor to change her shoes. I came over to check it out and since it was partly on my pizza box, I draped myself right across it! Mommy laughed and said I looked like a swimsuit model trying to get someone to buy a sports car.
I wonder if I could earn extra money for squeezies doing this?
Mommy hasn't hooked up the VCR yet because she first had to hook up a new cable box (an Xfinity-mandated "upgrade"). And we also don't have a remote for this VCR so we need to figure out a workaround for that issue, but at least she found one that we're fairly sure is in good shape. This neighbor had become a very good friend of my grandpa's too, so we were happy to bring something home that had belonged to him.

Mother's Day #CaturdayArt #SundaySelfie
Since I'd like to have a little extra quality time with Mommy for Mother's Day, I asked her if we could do just one blog post this weekend, combining our Caturday Art project with my Mother's Day message/Sunday Selfie. It'll be our first Mother's Day without my grandma so it won't be an easy day for either of us. But we'll get through it...together.
Happy Mother's Day to all the pawsome cat moms out there!!!
1. I’ve got a yen for pizza. I had leftover pizza for dinner tonight too but could still eat more.
2. I would gladly trade spring and summer for fall and winter.
3. It seems like only yesterday that my family was complete.
4. If you offered me one more day with mom, I would wish for the day to never end.

Because I'm the Boss, That's Why #SundaySelfie
Meows from Mudpie!
Does anyone recognize my pizza box? Two years ago on National Pizza Party Day Mommy gave it to me as a joke to take pictures for a blog post, and it still resides on our kitchen floor. I still sit on it every single day when I'm in the kitchen, either looking out the door or snoopervising Mommy while she's cooking.
Whenever we have company she picks it up. I guess she's embarrassed by it. Granted, it's flat as a pancake and stained, but I love it, and it's staying put. Because I'm the Boss, that's why!

Coronation Day #Caturday Art
2. My May to-do list includes negotiating a new Xfinity contract and getting the car inspected.
3. If my morning starts with Mudpie cuddles, I can face the day.
4. Ending my day with Mudpie cuddles makes me calmer. Do you sense a theme? I live for Mudpie cuddles these days.

Meows from Mudpie, and Happy Cinco de Mayo!

Caturday Art
2. So far, this year has been a nightmare I keep hoping I'll wake up from.
3. The world is a little too peopley for my liking.
4. Even if I complain a lot, I really appreciate my life.

At the Vet #PetPhotoFails
Thank you for joining us for this month's edition of the Pet Photo Fails Blog Hop! We've been enjoying some beautiful spring weather here, with highs in the 50s and 60s. Warm enough to enjoy some window whiffies, yet cool enough for nighttime snuggles too. It only it could stay this way instead of the hots that will soon be arriving!
My photo fails this time around were taken last month during my two vet visits for my ears. The first one is blurry, the second one is just awkward. I was being super cute rubbing my head against my carrier, but it just looks really weird.

Mudpie Interviews...Percival & Jasper from Ruth J. Hartman's Mobile Cat Groomer Mystery Series
Mobile Cat Groomer Molly Stewart loves her job. Until she finds the dead body of one of her pet parents stabbed with a garden implement in his back yard. When Molly’s uncle Russ becomes the prime suspect in the murder and the sheriff won’t consider anyone else, Molly claws through obstacles as she prowls for clues.
With help from handsome veterinarian Hank Chenowith and Molly’s two cats, Percival and Jasper, will Molly succeed in proving her uncle’s innocence before the real murderer pounces on her?
And I'm Jasper! Molly rescued me from a bad situation where I might have ended up in a pet shelter. I'm so much happier with her!
What's a typical day like for you?
Since your human is a mobile cat groomer, do you like it when she fusses with your fur or do you prefer taking care of those things yourselves?
In Brushed Up On Murder, the first book in the Mobile Cat Groomer mystery series, you two don't exactly see to eye. Are you getting along?
Do you lend a paw in helping Molly solve the mystery?
Percival again. Yes! Since she takes me to work with her, I got to be in on finding clues and checking out possible suspects. It was fun! And when Molly figured out who the killer was, Jasper helped too!
What are some of your favorite things to do when you're not sleuthing? (Toys, treats, nap spots...)
Can you give us any clues as to what's next for you?
