Weekend Wrap Up

We hope you had a great weekend!  It was chilly and foggy here all weekend but despite that, Mommy let me have some fresh air whiffs while watching the Birdie Network...

The reason she let me is because she and Daddy went to coast where it was warm(er) and sunny and I found out she took pictures of strange dogs!

They may be cute but come on...

This one obviously thought she was off her rocker...

She even dared to take a photo of a fisherdog and his fishermen...

The least she coulda done was bring us some fish but noooo!  Oh well, she may cheat but she still comes home to us and more importantly she comes home without a dog!  Phew!

Enjoy your week!

Off the Beaten Path on Sadieday

We're so glad it's Sadieday!  We had a busy week napping, playing, working so we're ready to go off the beaten path...

After a nap of course...

We're cats, what can we say?

Whatever path you go down today be sure it makes you smile!  Spread those smiles around so you brighten someone else's day too!

Enjoy your Sadieday and your weekend!

The Other Side...

We realized from the comments on yesterday's post that it seemed like we have a big room all to ourselves but that's not entirely true.  Since our mommy works from home, we have to share with her so this is her side of the room...

Pretty messy huh?  This is what our work days look like - Angel sits between Mommy and the back of the chair and I hold the beds down...

We know more about taxes than any kitty should from the years of helping Mommy with tax returns!  We're very hard workers so we totally deserve our slice of the cat tree jungle and aren't spoilt one bit!
Is it break time yet?

Snuggling is the best perk of this job!

Hope you get some snuggles today too!

Thursday Thinking

What better way to spend a day than laying on a comfy bed having deep thoughts all by myself...

Uh oh, here comes Miss Ants in her Pantaloons...

Sure she's in the corner cubby but I bet that lasts about 10 seconds...

Okay, maybe about 20 seconds...

Told ya.  She doesn't sit still for very long...

I bet she's pretending to be a lighthouse on top of the cat tree isn't she?

And now I bet she's trying to figure out what she can get in to...

She wears me out...

My sisfur and I are about as different as two kitties can be but I am glad she's my sisfur.  I think. 

Hope you are able to enjoy some deep thoughts today!

Tortie Tuesday

You know, I'm a very mellow Tortie and I never get mad, disgruntled, or upset in any way but I'm not always very subtle...

Especially when I'm wasting away while waiting for dinner!

Subtle huh?

Hope you have a Happy Tortie Tuesday!

Weekend Wrap Up

First of all, Isabella says thanks for all the birthday wishes!  She spent the weekend being spoilt by Daddy and we're pretty sure she'll be spoilt by him the rest of the year too!

Mommy had a great time at the coast with her friends.  There was a storm along the Oregon coast which means high winds, some rain and lots of high waves which they watched from the comfort of the rental home.  This was their view...

Mommy didn't think about taxes once all weekend but she did think of us a lot.  She even saw a kitty in her dessert - do you see it?

She and her friends stopped in Gifted in Depoe Bay where our BeadedTail journals being sold...

That was pretty exciting for her to see!  We were excited when she got home especially since it's nearly impossible to get Daddy up in the mornings - Mommy is super easy to annoy patiently wait until she wakes up and feeds us!  Anyway, it's back to work today so we hope you had a wonderful weekend too!

Enjoy your week!

Celebrating a Birthday on Sadieday!

Yay it's Sadieday and it's also my 8th birthday!  Time to celebrate and bring on the frosting!  Hey, this isn't real frosting...

Since I came here to my furever family when I was 10 months old, there aren't any photos of me as a baby kitten but I was still a cutie as a toddler...

Since I'm the birthday girl I get to make wishes so I wish for furever homes for all kitties and woofies, for plenty of food and warm shelter for all and for everyone to give a chance to others despite our differences...

I also wish for everyone to do something to bring a smile to your face today and hopefully to others too!  It doesn't take much effort to smile but that smile can brighten the day!  Okay, I also wish for frosting.  Just sayin.

Have a treat in my honor today!  Enjoy your weekend too!

Isabella

PeeS:  Mommy is on the coast this weekend with her friends so we're enjoying our Daddy time but he doesn't help us blog so we will be lacking on commenting on your blogs.  Sorry!

Finally Friday

We're glad it's finally Friday and week one of tax season is in the books!  Get it?  Books?  As in accounting! MOL! We crack ourselves up!  Anyway, even though Mommy cut her hours this year, she still works more than the rest of the year so I keep her company...

As you can see I let her have half of the chair but she still complains nonstop about having numb butt...

She also tells me it's a good thing I'm cute...

I think it's a good thing that I'm nice enough to keep her company and leave her any room on the chair at all!

Does your human complain when you're being nice and sharing a chair?

Hope your butt is comfy today!

Itty Bitty Kitty Bag

I'm just minding my own business sitting on a bag and NOT sitting on the dining room table...

Seriously Mommy, I'm not on the table so I have no idea where you think you see a cat somewhere they aren't supposed to be cause I don't see one anywhere...

I'm just gonna lay here until you figure out where the offending kitty is...

Hey, wait a minute, even if I was sitting on the dining room table, which I'm not, what difference does it make?

I'm beginning to think that humans just make up phantom rules to make themselves think they're in control.  We all know that's malarkey.  The sooner they figure that out, the more peace we'll get. 

Hope your floofy patootie is sitting wherever you want it to today!

Tasty Tortie Tuesday

It seems like we're always behind around here but one thing I don't let us get behind on is anything dealing with food!  So, it was up to me to make sure we stay on task when the nice folks at Chewy.com sent us some Royal Canin Adult Instinctive canned food to review...

We had never had Royal Canin food before so were excited to try it out to see if it is Instinctively Preferred around here...

To be fair, I even let my sisfur Angel try out the food too...

I loved the food and she loved the gravy and the birdie dinner theater...

However she left behind the food...

But I didn't!

Okay, here's our taste test results.  We received several cans of Royal Canin which we ate at various times throughout a couple of weeks since we tend to like something at first but then not after Mommy orders a case of it awhile.  We both continued to eat the Royal Canin and Angel did eat all of it, most of the time.  I ate all of it every time.  So, I give this food four paws up and Angel gives it two and a half paws up!  

If you haven't checked out Chewy.com lately be sure to do so!  They have a great selection of food, treats, toys and even litter and everything can be set up on auto delivery so you never have to worry about running out!  Orders over $49 ship free too! 

Hope you enjoy a Tasty Tortie Tuesday!

Isabella

Disclaimer:  We received cans of Royal Canin free from Chewy.com but were not compensated in any other way.  This did not influence our review in any way since we like what we like!

Weekend Wrap Up

We had a busy weekend and got lots done but we also had fun too.  We have a little round up today with photos from Mommy's cell phone so they aren't all that great but it'll show a bit of our weekend activities.  First of all, since tax season starts for us today, we sent Mommy to the coast since it always relaxes her...

We asked for her to bring somebirdie back but did she?  Nope...

She did find a "Cashmere Stem" which is just a fancy word for pipe cleaner.  I'd never had one of those before so the phone was way too slow for a photo...

It didn't help that I'm such a mighty hunter I pulled it off the side of the bed to really dead it.  Here's my paw bringing that "Cashmere Stem" to its doom...

I ended the weekend with a nap in our Christmas crinkly paper...

We hope your weekend was fun and relaxing too!

Enjoy your Monday!

Angel

Finally Friday

It's the first Friday of 2014 so I guess I should think about what changes I want to make this year...

I'll make BIG changes and even change directions...

At least I got my changes out of the way early in the year so I don't have to worry about them later!

One thing that doesn't change is that tax season is here so Mommy will be working more.  We're going to give her the weekend off so she can get organized (i.e. makes sure she has enough time for us).   We'll be back on Monday or Tuesday.

Have a great weekend!

Tidy Cats Coupon Giveaway!

UPDATE:  The giveaway is closed and all winners have been notified and coupons have been mailed!  Thanks for all who entered!  The winning rescue was The Way Home Inc.
*****************************************************
We're going to kick off 2014 with a giveaway!  Last November we got an email from the Tidy Cat folks saying if we sent our blog logo by the next morning we'd get custom coupons.  Mommy was in Disneyland at the time but thankfully after a few panicked moments she was able to figure out what to send.  A couple of weeks ago, we were totally surprised by what we got in return.  Our logo is on the coupon!  How cool is that!

We got 150 custom coupons good for $5 off a package of Tidy Cats any size, any variety (excluding the 24/7 Performance LightWeight Litter).  That still leaves lots of litters to choose from...

We got an idea from our friend Sparkle on how to give these away so following her lead this is what we're going to do.  We'll give 10 readers each a stack of 10 coupons (a $50 value)!  The remaining 50 coupons will be given to a local cat rescue!

Here's how to enter:

1) Tell us in the comments you'd like to enter (or enter for someone else).  The coupons are only good here in the U.S. (sorry!) but our international friends can enter on behalf of a U.S. resident if you'd like.
2) Tell us the name of your favorite cat rescue.  You can do this even if you do not wish to be entered in the drawing yourself.

That's it!  Easy peasy and a great way to save money on, uh, our facilities plus a great way to help a cat rescue!  We'll randomly pick the winners Sunday, January 5th. 

Hope you have a wonderful day!

Happy New Year!

Wishing you a New Year filled with love, furiends, happiness, good health and beauty everywhere you look...

We appreciate your visits and your friendship more than we can say!

Happy New Year to all of you from all of us!

Angel, Isabella and mommy Sharla
