Tortie Tuesday

It's Tortie Tuesday and today Daddy found all my toys that were underneath the TV cabinet! I really missed my pineapple and Casbah Kitten Jelly Beans and cell phone!

Uh oh, I hear somekitty coming....

Hey, Angel has my bean!

No kitty can resist that Kentucky nip so I guess I understand but still, it is TORTIE Tuesday!

Hope you have fun playing with your favorite toys today!

Tortie Tuesday

It's Tortie Tuesday! Today is another one of those days when I don't know what to say. It doesn't happen too often that I'm speechless so I'll do my best to come up with something.

Hmmm. I'm thinking really hard...

Nope. Nothing. Nada.

Today's lesson is there is not a need to ever say too much. Just be content in being. I'm quite content being me. Being in the sun with my Jelly Bean doesn't hurt either!

Have a Happy Tortie Tuesday!

Working Weekend

Since Sadie went on a Field Trip over the weekend, we stayed home and worked. We take our job as Purrfessional Toy Testers very seriously so while others can goof off, we tested Casbah Kitten's new toy, Dynomite! We got so into our testing that the photos are blurry but that won't stop us from filing a thorough report. First of all, the Dynomite is labeled correctly - it says TNT which means "Whoa, Nelly - this is explosive fun!".

There's even a little explosion coming out of it too (don't worry, this is really just ribbons that you can put the bitey on).

You can also put the bitey on the stick of Dynomite itself.

It's the purrfect size to hold on to...

and you can even bunny kick it!

So as you can see, the Dynomite passed our test paws down! There is just one slight problem though. The homegrown Kentucky catnip they use will make you turn upside down and you'll suddenly see two Mommys instead of one.

This is only temporary and only enhances your fun!

Thank you jane, Alice and Rita for making such pawesome toys! We love the Dynomite and have carried it all over the house playing with it! Your toys are the best!

Happy Victoria Day to our furiends in Canada too!

Purrfessional Toy Testers

We have a very important job to do today. We are testing out a new Starfish toy made by the girls at CasbahKitten.

We take our job very seriously and always make sure we sniff it to make sure it has the right amount of nip in it. The Starfish passed the test.

The Starfish passes the cute test too with it's little smiley face.

Next comes the test on how fun it is to play with.

This is very hard work but we're up to the task.

The Starfish is the right size for us to hold, bite, bunny kick and carry around.

We give the Starfish, two paws up!

Thanks for another great toy jane, Alice and Rita! We love all your toys and recommend them to every kitty! Now if you'll excuse us, we have some more work to do...

Happy Sadieday!

It's my favorite day of the week again - Sadieday! Today I want to tell you about a fabulous prize I won in a contest for a new handmade doggy toy shop, CasbahCanine! It's a stuffed bone toy in a very girly denim fabric just for me!

Also included were yummy heart shaped dog treats! Mmmm!

Treats and a toy - what a great prize huh! My bone even has a squeaker in it which I try and whap when I hear it!

And, just to let you kitties know, my sisfur Isabella likes my bone toy too and even tries to bunny kick it when I'm not looking.

She has more than enough toys from CasbahKitten though so she can leave my bone alone!

Thank you very much Molly, Jane, Alice and Rita! I like my bone and the treats very much!

Hope you have a great Sadieday!

Santa Was Good To Us!

Santa brought really fun presents this year so I thought I'd show you a few of the things we got. He must have known that my old scratchers were shrinking on the floor (it can't be cause I'm getting bigger) so he got me a really big scratcher! I loved it so much I slept on it all night long!

It's so big that my sisfur Isabella fits on it with me! She doesn't know how to use a scratcher but she likes to lick up the catnip.

Another fun thing we got was a Dr. Squidmonster from the CasbahKitten! It's got lots of nip in it and it's big enough to bunny kick which I love to do!

I love all my presents Santa! Santa? Why are you dancing on the ceiling? I think I need to lay off the nip for a bit.

My sisfur Isabella will have to show you what else we got tomorrow while I recoup from all my nip induced, scratching and bunny kicking frenzy.

Hope you have a groovy day!
