Pay Attention to ME!!! #SundaySelfie

Meows from Mudpie!

Have you ever heard Toby Keith's song I Wanna Talk About Me? Mommy says that should be my theme song, because every time she's talking on the phone or to someone here in the house and not paying proper attention to me, I start yelling. 

This week she managed to capture photographic proof. What do you think? Am I telling her that if she's not talking about me or *to* me, it's not worth talking about, or am I just trying to join the conversation?

We're joining our friends at The Cat On My Head for the Sunday Selfies blog hop!

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 love that Mudpie is so clingy. She always wants to be near me, preferably on me, and if she doesn't know where I am in the house she calls out for me.

2. To celebrate pi day on Monday, I will have a slice of Mudpie. Or lots and lots of extra cuddles and kisses!

3. I’d like to be able to eat pizza every day.

4. If I ended up in jail, it would probably be because I saw an animal being abused and intervened. Depending on how things went, I likely wouldn't be very kind to the human(s) involved.

Thankful Thursday: Stocking Up

Meows from Mudpie!

For most of her life Mommy has had a really bad habit of going to the store and picking up just one of anything she needs, always assuming it would still be there the next time she needed it again. That all started to change thanks to my squeezie addiction. For much of last year it was so hard to find that whenever she saw it at the store she would pick up several packages, even when I was well stocked.

Now thanks to the state our crazy world is in with empty store shelves and rising prices, she's turned over a new leaf! She goes to the store and buys multiples of everything she needs. If it's on sale she buys even more, and if the price has gone up and it's not a matter of life and death, she leaves it on the shelf.

Most importantly, instead of buying individual packages of squeezies (which have gone up in price like everything else), she's buying them by the CASE for me while they're still in stock at a reasonable price!!! 

This picture was taken a couple weeks ago as I was checking out my loot. I still had 2 cases left over from Christmas, and last week she ordered 3 more cases while the price remained the same. She's contemplating buying a few more...

I just might be stocked up for the next apocalyptic event that hits us, and judging by the way things are going, that's probably right around the corner!

We would like to send lots of purrs, prayers, and good wishes out to Brian's Home blog, host of the Thankful Thursday blog hop. On Monday they lost their beautiful Dolly unexpectedly to a blood clot, and the next day dad Terry needed to have emergency appendectomy surgery. 

Unboxing February's CatLadyBox

 The theme of February's CatLadyBox was Meowlentine's Day...here's what was inside!

Featured Cat Lady Artist Youksy: This was inspired by the artist's cat, named Melissa!

You Had Me at Meow Shirt: Adore the color, adore the saying. Mudpie most definitely had me at meow.

Sweetheart Cat Necklace: Such a sweet and understated way to profess your love of cats. And it's pink!

Ombre Cats Wine Tumbler: I'll be filling this up with iced coffee this summer! 

Prisma Cat Bed: This is SO beautiful, and we don't have anything like it. I've tucked it away for when it gets a little warmer because Mudpie is pretty addicted to her winter blankies right now, but I know she's going to love it. 

Fortune Cookie Catnip Toy: I think Mudpie has been crazier over this than any other CatLadyBox catnip toy she's gotten. She was frantic to pull it out the box, wouldn't give me time to clip off the tag, and promptly nipped herself into a frenzy...followed by a nap.

A Stuffie Ussie #SundaySelfie

Meows from Mudpie!

Mommy pawsitively squeeed when she walked into the bedroom and found me cuddled up with one of my stuffie friends. She insisted we take an ussie, and we agreed so we could go back to whatever it was we were doing before she so rudely interrupted :)

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

Mommy's answers: 

1. I would rather smell a skunk than smell cigarette smoke. It gives me an instant headache.

2. Every March I look forward to mud season. Obviously I'm joking, but "mud season" in Vermont is definitely a thing, when the snow melts and everything becomes brown, squishy, and downright gross. Our local news even asks people to send in mud season pictures and calls them "muddies"!!!

Mudpie's answers:

3. I knew I was addicted the moment that I tasted my first squeezie.

4.  Knowing that pretty soon my warm, sunny doors and windows will be open is currently my silver lining.

Dr. Seuss Day 2022: Torties Just Wanna Have Fun

Meows from Mudpie!

Today we're taking part in the annual celebration of Dr Seuss' birthday, also known as National Read Across America Day.

Oddly enough, I think this is the very first time we've done a Cat in the Hat themed post! Usually we choose to feature the Grinch, but since I'm such a fun-loving tortie we decided to choose a photo to go with this famous Dr. Seuss quote. Mommy says it sounds like something I would say!
