Tortie Tuesday

It's the last Tortie Tuesday of the month plus it follows a holiday weekend so is it any wonder I only woke up after Mommy so rudely flung back the covers exposing my comfy hidey place...

Actually Mommy didn't even know I was there before she flung away so I scared the halibut out of her. Kinda serves her right don't you think?

I'm even not technically on her pillow. Yep, I'm good! Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to sleep for the rest of May. Or at least until lunch!

Did you enjoy a long weekend?

Hope you do whatever you please this Tortie Tuesday!

Thank Cod It's Friday!

We have had one topsy turvy week here but we're sure glad it's Friday! Mommy was supposed to be in Texas to celebrate the very first book signing of our friend JB Bean's book about Mister's Garden.

All the plans were in place for her to fly to Dallas early Wednesday but JB received the shipment of books Tuesday afternoon and the pages were out of order. That's a major problem! The printer accepted full responsibility and has fixed the issue for future books but with no books this weekend, there's no signing so Mommy postponed her trip. She was very disappointed but we're grateful she's home with us this holiday weekend.

In preparing for her trip to hot and humid Texas, Mommy's friends helped her step out of her usual all black wardrobe into something much more, well, wild...

Yep, that's a green shirt with lots and lots of giraffes on it! Her friends thought it was bright, whimsical and wild like Mommy is. MOL! The tags are still on that shirt and the other five non-black things purchased on the recent shopping trip so we'll see if Mommy stays out of her black box!

Have you tried anything new lately?

Hope you have a wonderful Memorial Day weekend!

Tortie Tuesday

We're nearing the end of May which means summer is around the corner. Summer means ice cream!

I love ice cream...

Even if it's just to bunny kick the halibut out of it...

Ah yes. I can't wait until ice cream season...

And sunpuddle, open windows, warm breezes, afternoon naps season!

What's your favorite part of summer?

Hope you enjoy your Tortie Tuesday!

Weekend Wrap Up

Between naps and snoopervising home projects, we got a lot done this weekend. Mommy is almost finished with her crafty project. Several peeps asked about the letters in Friday's post so here's a sneak peek...

She wants to create a gallery wall which I discovered will not be filled totally with pictures of me. Yeah, I know, what's the point then? Anyway, she thought these letters would work but the edges are not perfect by her accountant perfectionist standards. Her crafty friend told her to file the edges lightly which gives Mommy hives to even think about. Thank Cod she has me to help. I'll get started on this one...

What would she do without me? It's a tough job being so hard working but somekitty's got to do it!

How was your weekend?

Hope you have a great Monday!

Finally Friday

After we finished our tax work for the week on Wednesday (we're back to very part time again), we thought we'd get to enjoy a lazy four day weekend so we got ready for it...

That didn't last long though because Mommy decided it was time to do crafty projects she's put off forever. Of course I had to snoopervise.

Hey, is the S for Superior Snoopervisor?

Isabella's job was to keep an eye on the Birdie Network...

That's her second favorite job after holding Daddy down.

We hear there's more work for us during the weekend but hopefully there's plenty of breaks scheduled too.

Do you have any weekend plans?

Happy Friday! Enjoy your weekend!

Tortie Tuesday

As was pointed out yesterday, I may not be a Purrfessional Scratcher like my little sisfur but I can bunny kick things to smithereens! Whatever object I choose never sees it coming. I first scope out whether this side gets my rath...

Or this side...

And then I go all crazypants and bunny kick the halibut out of my victim!

It doesn't take long for me to tire out to kick it into submission...

One last kick for good measure...

Now it's time to get comfy and enjoy my triumph...

Pretty impressive skills if I say so myself! Scratching is overrated - bunny kicking is way more fun!

Hope you have fun this Tortie Tuesday!

Working Weekend! #ChewyInfluencer

What did we do on a rainy, dreary weekend? We worked of course! Last month Chewy.com sent us the Kong Naturals Incline Cat Scratcher to review. Somemommy put it in a closet until she had time for photos (strike one) and then she forgot about it (strike two) but thankfully she came across it so we could give it the once over...

Since I'm the Purrfessional Scratcher in the household, I was so excited to put the it to the test that I didn't even wait for Mommy to take the cardboard thingy off of it...

But once she did, I immediately gave it a workout...

I tried it from all angles too...

Hey, what's the hole in it for?

There's a hole back here too...

Ah! There's a crinky ball thingamabob hanging inside...

After I pulled the thingamabob outside, I tried out the incline more...

My review of the Kong Naturals Incline Cat Scratcher is four paws up!

I love this scratcher and already use it all the time! It's made from eco-friendly materials using renewable resources and it comes in three sizes. The cardboard is very sturdy and has held up to my fierce claws very well. I lay on my scratchers and this one took me awhile to figure out how to lay on but I finally did...

If you're wondering how Isabella liked it. Well...

She's scratcher challenged even if it's flat on the ground. *sigh*

If you love scratchers or other toys as well as foods or treats, be sure to check out Chewy.com! They have free 1-2 day delivery for orders over $49. We're set up for auto-delivery so we never starve!

Do you love scratchers as much as I do?

Hope you have a great day!

I take my Purrfessional Scratcher status very seriously and would never lead anykitty astray when it comes to scratchers!

Finally Friday

Boy are we glad it's Friday! We've had a crazy week at work that has Mommy all discombobulated. To make her feel better, I let her think I was discombobulated too when I got into this box in the closet...

I got in it when the closet doors were closed* so I acted surprised when she opened the door...

Wonder why I'm facing this direction Mommy?

*whispers* Think she's buying my faux discombobulation?

Just a second, let me turn around...

There we go. All is right now...

I think I fooled her and made her feel like she's not alone in having a crazy week. Even if I didn't, I made her giggle which I know helped feel much better!

Hope you have a great Friday!

*Wondering how I got in the closet with the doors closed? I'm not magic but I am sneaky! The closet spans the length of the room with two full sets of closet doors side by side. I walked in the side the doors were open over to the side where the doors were closed. Don't tell Isabella my secret! She hasn't figured how to do that yet!

Wordless Wednesday - Cold Mornings

Tortie Tuesday

Although all kitties are works of art, last Tuesday our mommy went to the Portland Art Museum to see an art piece of kitties. It's Carl Kahler's painting called "My Wife's Lovers."  Mommy heard about this painting last fall so when she found out it was going to be on exhibit in Portland she had to go see it! Her friend took this picture of Mommy as she was taking pictures of the painting...

Here's one of those pictures...

It's a huge (6 x 8.5 feet) painting with 42 kitties and of course she picked one out that she thought looked like Angel. Can you tell which one it is?

There was only one Tortie...

Notice the Tortie doesn't look at the camera? Well, I'm taking a cue from that today...

I'm not being uncooperative. I'm being artistic!

We're not sure where the painting will be on display once it leaves Portland this Sunday. If it's in your area at any time, we highly recommend you go see it! 

Have you heard of this painting before? Do you know of any other famous works of kitty art?

Enjoy your Tortie Tuesday!

Weekend Wrap Up

We hope you had a wonderful weekend! We had a relaxing yet busy weekend. While we were siesta-ing on Friday, Mommy and Daddy went to the coast. For some reason Mommy finds it relaxing...

Whatever. We prefer naps. Anyway, the relaxing was over once she got back because I had to help snoopervise the design process for two bridesmaid necklaces. I helped her decide on this design...

And this one...

Of course the crystals will be connected with chain but Mommy didn't want to start chopping up chain until I approved the design. What would she do without me? After all that I snoopervised while Mommy and Daddy started cleaning up the side yard and planting the garden...

There's still lots to do but at least they made progress. Thanks to me of course...

It's a tough job being a snoopervisor but somekitty's got to do it!

How was your weekend?

Hope you get some time to relax today!

Siesta de Mayo

We're extending our celebration of our Mexicat heritage by declaring this Seis de Mayo to be Siesta de Mayo!

Pretty brilliant idea huh? It's such a great idea we're going to extend it clear through the weekend. Ole!

Hope you enjoy an extended siesta too!
