A Visit to Catland Vintage

Catland Vintage, a cat-themed vintage store, opened up just 10 minutes away from me last weekend. When I first heard about it I could hardly believe what I was seeing as cool things like this never come to my neck of the woods!

I posted about it on Facebook and so many of my cat friends were excited about it that I took lots of pictures to share when I visited on Sunday afternoon!

The store is SO adorable, the owners incredibly friendly, and it seems they had a fantastic opening weekend. They sure were busy while I was there! I love their logo blending my love of music and cats (the owners are also musicians), so I picked up coasters and magnets with the logo on it, and a birthday gift for my mom, which amazingly is not cat-related. I'll certainly be stopping by frequently to see all the fun things on their shelves!

Here are links to some local news stories about the shop...

Christmas in July Wrap Up

Today we want to thank our sweet friend Ellen at 15 and Meowing for her surprise Christmas in July gift that arrived last week. Mudpie got a precious purple ice cream cone that she absolutely loves, and I got a Christmas Grumpy Cat dish towel!

When I put the cone up to Mudpie's face to sniff it she gave it a great big lick, just like you would an ice cream cone. It was so adorable but of course I didn't have a camera in my hands at the time. (I don't remember if I ever mentioned here on our blog that my dad delivered ice cream for 30 plus years, so that made the cone toy extra special for us.)

Among other things Ellen and I share an intense dislike of summer and a love for all things Christmas and Grumpy Cat. Her package was the purrfect way to end Christmas in July!

Sorta Strange #SundaySelfie

Meows from Mudpie!

Yesterday afternoon Mommy wanted to help me take my selfie for the week, but I was too busy soaking up some rays at the back door. She decided to use the front facing camera on her phone, stuck it in my face, and this is what we came up with. 

Sorta strange but still totally adorbs!

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. Only someone with a pet would understand the comfort and unconditional love they provide.

2. I just started removing my mask when I'm in places where I can still keep a safe distance from people. It feels weird.

3. I find it hard to believe that so many people are allowed to get away with doing horrible things without consequences. Animal abusers - I'm looking at you.

4. I should probably mow the lawn. I'm determined to do it no more than once a month, and only when it's under 70 degrees. Today's the day.

Summer Fun #PetPhotoFails

Meows from Mudpie!

Thank you for joining us for this month's edition of the Pet Photo Fails Blog Hop! Thank Cod July is finally over. I'm deep in the summertime blues not being able to cuddle Mommy or my blankies because it's so hot and humid.

The one bright spot of my summer so far was the arrival of this month's CatLadyBox. I got the cutest macaroni and fuzzy sunshine toys that made me go bonkers right out of the box! Getting a non-blurry picture of the action was totally impawsible.

Don'tcha‎ love how I've got both of them in my clutches at the same time in this first picture? Good thing I'm an only child because the PAWS OFF message is clear!

Those are my bloopers! Let's see yours!

Living Life on the Edge

Meows from Mudpie!

Mommy gave me this cute little ALF clip-on stuffie she found in some of her things. I know his only interest in cats is to eat them, but I'm trying to convince him to change his ways.

I invited him into my cardboard clubhouse and Mommy could barely contain herself when she found us curled up together.

 

Looks like I'm working my Mudpie magic on him.

The Cat Song #MewsicMovesMe

Meows from Mudpie!

Remember how last week I lamented the lack of cat songs in country music? A friend reminded Mommy of this little gem and we think it deserves a post all its own because it is SO accurate. 

Doesn't everyone use baby talk with their kitties? Doesn't everyone speak with more affection to the furry members of their family than their significant other? And what exactly is wrong with that? MOL
