Featureless Friday

Once again we don't have any features this Friday although we've been really crafty around here and working really hard.  When we're being crafty Mommy gets really messy so there's hardly any room for me to hold down the table plus try to reach the sunpuddles barely on the edge...

But rest assured, no dangly earrings get by my inspection...

My little sisfur Angel handles all the quality inspection of the packaging too...

We have listed some new earrings this week we can show you like these...

Mint Green Aqua Glass Beaded Niobium Earrings - Oregon Coast by BeadedTail

And these...

Owl Wood and Purple Beaded Niobium Earrings - Hoot by BeadedTail

See, we're not just cute, we're hard workers too! 

 Hope you have a great end to your week!

Ay yi yi Matey

Arrrrggg!

Well, it's Talk like a Pirate Day but our translator (aka Mommy) forgot to allow extra time to help us so the only Pirate talk we have for today is to tell someone (aka Mommy) she's about to walk the plank!

I would've been the cutest Tortie Pirate ever too. *sigh*

Hope ye have a great day Matey!

Wordless Wednesday - Warming My Paws

Tortie Tuesday

It's Tortie Tuesday and I'd do something cute for you but I'm concentrating on Da Bird flying in my direction...

Got it!  Da Bird is no match for this Tortie!

Hey, where ya going?

Da Bird got off lucky this time but I'll get it next time!

Hope you have a Happy Go Lucky Tortie Tuesday!

Let's Start the Week with Nip!

I admit, I am a nip lover so when The Natural Pet Company asked if we'd like to try out their premium Catnip we couldn't turn down the opportunity!

The bag is filled to the brim with fabulous smelling, great quality catnip!  Let's this test started!

Mommy sprinkled some nip on my Ess and at first I just warmed it up by laying on it...

Then I rolled in it to get the full effect...

I can't stop rolling!

OMC!  This is good stuff!

I feel like my body is still wigglin'...

The Natural Pet Company's premium Catnip gets four paws up from me!   The 4oz bag is a lot of nip that should last a long time since for us, a little goes a long way.  It has a zip lock closure to keep it fresh although I can still smell it through the drawer that Mommy put it in.

Mommy didn't know how the nip would affect me since I tend to get a little cranky (i.e. smacky paws) with my sisfur while under the influence of some nips and especially silvervine so I tested it for the photo shoot alone.  Isabella did meander in and we had a brief exchange of smacky paws but not near as much as usual which made Mommy happy.  Isabella licked the nip and laid in it which is the extent of what she does with nip so that means she liked it to. 

Are you a nip lover too?

Hope your week is off to a great start too!

PeeS:  The Natural Pet Company provided us with the premium catnip for free however that did not have any influence on how we reacted to it.  All the wigglin' was real and not dramatized for this post. 

This and That on Sadieday

Yay it's Sadieday!  We want to thank everyone for their suggestions last Sadieday on how to keep the introoder neighbor cats out of our yard.  Mommy is working on implementing some of the ideas especially since Dooney beat up the tuxie kitty in our yard again last Tuesday.  We all hate cat fights so we're going to do our best to keep it from happening at least in our yard.  We do hope Mommy doesn't bring home another dog because of it although she sure has been noticing dogs wherever she goes lately like these guys outside the grocery store...

And even up on the highest peak in the Oregon Coast range...

We hear there's many, many more that she's petted but not got photos of.  We're just not ready for another dog in the house and besides, they'd have some mighty big paws to fill...

Anyway, thanks again!  Are there any questions you have for us that we can answer in a future post?  Be sure to ask and we'll do our best to answer!  

As always, be sure to smile this Sadieday and always and spread those smiles around since you might just make someone's day that much better!

Have a Happy Sadieday and a great weekend!

PeeS:  Our thoughts and purrayers are with the people and animals affected by the horrible floods in Colorado.  They are happening near where Mommy and Daddy lived along the Front Range and where Sadie lived when she was a youngin.  We hope Mother Nature lets up on the rain soon.

Behind the Scenes

Remember my adorable photo on Wordless Wednesday of me looking at my cute self in the mirror.  Well, I thought I'd show you the behind the scenes since it wasn't quite as easy as it may have appeared.  You see, Mommy went to the guest room downstairs and waited for me to follow her as always without me noticing but I found her and noticed the cell phone ready to take photos...

Of course I pretended not to know what she was up to by meandering over to the mirror...

I floofed up my tail while still keeping an eye on her...

I even cleaned a smudge off the mirror since somebuddy obviously doesn't clean good enough...

Okay Mommy, you won't put that phone down so I'll give you just one chance so are you ready?

And that is when I gave her the look she was waiting for, a deep thoughtful gaze at my own beautiful reflection...

We just gotta make our beans work for the photos sometimes since no kitty performs on demand.

Do you change your behavior when you know there's a camera on you?

Hope your day is filled with lovely things to reflect on!

Ho Hum Hot Kinda Day

We're having a case of the hots here with temperatures near 90 degrees so the windows are closed which mutes the volume of our Birdie Network so I'm having to watch it on video...

It's never too hot for napping in sunpuddles either...

My sisfur Isabella had to go to the v-e-t yesterday because she has a front tooth loose and her gums are red.  The v-e-t said the tooth will fall out on its own like several others have since her last dental visit in February (Mommy didn't know this).  She also said her red gums are from gingivitis and isn't bad enough to warrant a cleaning yet or any meds.  Anyway, since it was so hot out and she got nervous in the car so she wasn't feeling too well last night...

She's feeling better after chillin' for a bit though.  

The v-e-t still can't believe that Isabella is a real Tortie since she is so mellow and easy going.  She said Torties are supposed to be high maintenance with a devilish streak in them but we don't know any Torties like that - do you?

Hope you have a chillin' kind of day!

Tortie Tuesday

You'd think on Tortie Tuesday all my toys would be out and ready for me to play with but noooo, I have to hunt for them myself while the peanut gallery (aka Mommy) is snickering about my Tortie thighs...

Laser eyes and Pbffflt to you Mommy!

Oh the things I have to put up with around here!

I hope you're catered to this Tortie Tuesday,

Isabella

Inspiration Once Again

Last week when we were having the bad storm, Mommy a nervous Nellie so I had the brilliant idea to have her bead something since that always calms her down...

I picked out some colors that could be similar to a certain Tortie...

But they reminded Mommy of something else...

Anyway, she got to work on the project and despite the thunder shaking the walls and the power going off every so often leaving us in the dark she finally came up with this necklace which is in her Etsy shop here...

Angel approved even though she was a tad distracted by the rumbling outside...

It's exhausting keeping Mommy calm but somekitty has to do it...

What would she do without us!

Hope you have a Tortie colored day!

Questions on Sadieday

Our storms are gone and sunpuddles have returned this Sadieday!  We're glad to be able to enjoy summer for as long as we can!  Anyway, we have a question this Sadieday about introoder neighbor cats.  Our sisfur Sadie was always patrolling our yard keeping the introoder neighbor cats away...

Even when she was inside she alerted us to when the introoder neighbor cats came around...

Since Sadie is now at the Bridge one neighbor cat in particular, Dooney, always walks through our yard, stalks our birdies and yesterday he got into a huge fight on OUR deck with a Tuxie neighbor cat that we don't know.  Mommy ran outside and broke it up but it shook us up since we don't like the sounds fighting kitties make.   Since it gets our pantaloons in a bunch and he attacks other kitties in our yard, we need to do something to discourage Dooney from coming into our yard but we don't know what to do.  Mommy already tried to get the neighbor to keep him inside but she won't since he yowls to go out and the neighbor says going out is "what boys do".  Whatever.  Do you have any ideas of how to keep introoder cats out of our yard?  We especially want him out of our backyard since that's where he fights with the Tuxie cat or tries to catch our birdies.   

We don't want anything to cause us to lose the Birdie Network...

 Let us know if you have any suggestions.  We'd appreciate it!  And as always, be sure to spread those smiles since you never know who's day you'll make all that much better!

Have a Happy Sadieday and a great weekend!

Freaky Friday

Okay, so really it's a freaky Thursday as we get this ready but we're in the middle of the first big thunderstorm we've had here in the 7 years since we've been borned and also in the 10 years since Mommy and Daddy have lived here.  She thought I'd be really scairt and I am a little but I'm more curious as to what that noise is that is causing the house to shake...

Our mommy is a super chicken when it comes to thunder and lightning so she didn't give us much time to get this ready since the power keeps flickering too.  We just wanted to tell everybody we hope you're having a quiet, sunny Friday in your neck of the woods!

An Angel Knows Her Halo

Last month we were contacted by the nice folks at Chewy.com if we'd like to review some Halo Healthsome kitty treats and of course we did!  Since I'm an Angel, I know all about Halos so it seemed only right that I tried it first.  Hey, why is the bag sealed?

This is more like it...

We tried the Real Chicken Cat treats but it also comes in a Seafood Combo flavor too.  The Chicken kind has a little nip in it plus pumpkin and other stuffs that your beans can read about here.  Of course I let Isabella try some too...

Is it my fault she eats too slow?

Don't worry about her, she gets plenty to eat got more...

We both loved the treats and give them four paws up!

As with everything we may change our minds in a week or so just to frustrate Mommy but for now we do love these treats.  

Chewy.com has a whole line of Halo products you can find by clicking here.  If you haven't tried delivery from Chewy.com you might want to give them a try because it's free delivery on orders of $49 and it can be automated so you never run out of food, treats or kitty litter!  

We hope your day is filled with treats!

Angel and Isabella

Disclaimer:  Chewy.com sent us one bag of Halo Healthsome treats to try and review but that did not influence our opinion of it since either we liked or we didn't and we did!

Wordless Wednesday

Tortie Tuesday

We hope everybody enjoyed their weekend!  We had lots of sunpuddles to enjoy but it also meant we got left home alone a lot since Mommy and Daddy went on hikes, picked blueberries and peaches and other stuff that didn't involve tending to us like they're supposed to every minute of every day.  Of course I still kept up with my duties like helping Daddy read the paper...

On second thought, maybe it was okay they were gone so I could catch up on my beauty sleep...

It's a tough job being a beautiful Tortie but I do it purrfectly!

Hope you have a wonderful Tortie Tuesday!
