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

Mommy's answers:

1. I brake for animals. Passengers in my car are in constant danger of sustaining whiplash due to my braking for small animals. I've even dumped my purse on the car floor I've slammed on the brakes so hard. A few years ago I hit and killed a little chipmunk that dashed in front of me and I just couldn't stop in time. I was absolutely heartbroken. I even took his little body home and buried him.

2. Kevin Harvick wins the race. At least that's what I hope for every weekend!

Mudpie's answers:

3. I’d be lying if I said I had to work at being cute. It just comes naturally.

4. I am always ready to either play or take a nap. Rarely anything in between.

Fun Feline Finds: Cat Paw Glass

Meows from Mudpie!

Have you heard all the excitement about the Starbucks cat paw glass that has been released in China? Apparently people are getting into fights trying to get their paws on one of the limited edition glasses and it's selling out in seconds online.

Our friends at Triple T Studios have been able to source a limited supply of the super popular glasses in both the Pink with Sakura (cherry blossom) style, and also a clear glass style.

So what's the big deal about these glasses? They feature an adorable cat paw inside a double-walled glass, and when filled with your favorite beverage the glass gives the illusion that the cat paw is floating inside the glass. The double wall design keeps your hands safe and cool while holding the glass, and the heat resistant borosilicate glass keeps your hot drinks hot longer and cool drinks cool longer.

Pre-orders placed now will ship in late March to mid-April, and they are only 12 DOLLARS!!! We can't imagine a more purrfect gift for cat moms with Mother's Day right around the corner!

Chillin' with Conway

Last week Mommy couldn't resist snapping another picture of me front and center on the Conway shrine table in her bedroom. It's my favorite place to hang out with her while she's puttering with her collection.

You know what she told me? She's planning to clear off another larger bureau in the bedroom so she can display more of her collection, with her jukebox CD player as the focal point. I'm gonna have fun snoopervising this decorating project! I'll be sure to let you know how it goes and if I manage to get into any trouble.

What the heck is the big deal about this guy, anyways?

Mommy says if I can't see it, it's obvious I've been "fixed". 

Anyone know what she means by that???

Happy Mardi Gras!!!

Mudpie doesn't have to do anything naughty to get her paws on some of those beads, does she?

Book Review: 101 Essential Tips: Kitten or New Cat: Health & Safety by Dr. Jason Nicholas

Written by an ER veterinarian who has the experience and knowledge to help you keep your cats healthy, safe, and out of the ER, 101 Essential Tips will help you protect your kitty from a host of common illnesses, injuries, poisonings, and other problems, and save you time, money, and heartbreak in the process. 101 Essential Tips is written in an engaging and easy-to-understand format with fun illustrations and real-life stories sprinkled throughout to help you learn what you don't know, before your cat finds out for you... the "hard way." After all, you can't prevent what you're not aware of!

Even though I've been a cat mom my entire life, responsible pet parents know there's always something new to learn. I love books like this that are informative and fun too. I would go so far as to say a copy belongs in the adoption kit of every cat going home with their forever family. It hits on so many important topics, from feeding to litter box issues, cat-proofing your home, health and wellness, even things to look out for that might indicate there's trouble brewing. At the very end there are tips on how to prepare yourself for any emergency situations that might pop up over the course of your pet's life. Yes, there are many things your cat needs you to know, and this book covers 101 of them. The illustrations are super cute too, and I guarantee after reading it cover to cover you'll discover things you didn't know, no matter how cat-savvy you might be!

Post Nap #SundaySelfie

Meows from Mudpie!

Friday evening I woke up from a blissful 5 hour nap in my KatKabin and Mommy suggested it might be a good time to get my selfie done for the week.

First I had to get the phone set up.

Oops, I get easily distracted.

Purrfection!

Now that I'm done, wanna take a nap, Mommy?
