1. If I had to choose a fictional world to live in it would be the Hettie Bagshot books. (All cats, no people!)

2. A Christmas Carol is a book or movie that changed my life. I just adore it.

3. As a kid, I gave jello the name wiggle wiggle.

4. If I had a parrot, I would teach it to say Hello Darlin'.

Tortoiseshell Cat Appreciation Day

Mommy here! 

Over the past 19 years I've been the lucky cat mom to a trio of torties. To say I think these feisty, unique felines are one of God's most beautiful creations would be an understatement. I love everything about their sweet souls and tender hearts, tortitude and all.

Nowadays there's a national day set aside to celebrate just about anything you can think of, and today is Tortoiseshell Cat Appreciation Day.

For anyone interested in reading about my history with torties, it can be found in my article A Decade of Tortitude: The Magic & Mystique Of My Heart Cats, which won a Certificate of Excellence from the Cat Writers Association many years ago.

Since this is a day to turn the internet brown, tan, gold, black, cinnamon, and every tortie color in between, we thought it would be the purrfect time to share once again the very special legend explaining how they got their unique colors, loosely translated from the Spanish version.

We hope you'll join us today in sharing your torties all over social media. The internet will be a much more beautiful place over the next 24 hours now that we've given them a day to take over the world! (Officially, anyways. Anyone owned by a tortie knows they already own their little corner of the world!)

CHEESE!

Meows from Mudpie!

Mommy is so tickled she got this video.

To set the scene - I love cheese. It's probably my third favorite thing in the world after squeezies and chicken. (Oops! Sorry Mommy! Love you bunches too!) 

Cheese isn't really good for kitties, but a couple times a week Mommy has crackers and cheese or a cheese sandwich for lunch, and she shares a few nibbles with me. 

Here's the fun part - I've learned the word CHEESE, and Mommy loves to get me all excited for it before I get my treat.

How adorable is this???

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

1. I never want to forget any of the cats I've been blessed to share my life with.

2. I have a recurring dream about being at the hospital with Dad. He was there so frequently and I was his advocate so I had to stay there with him as much as possible. I lived in constant fear and dread of his next hospital stay so I think I was traumatized by it.

3. My smoke alarm's instruction manual is the strangest thing in my computer's search history. I managed to make the alarm go off while making an omelet for dinner last night. Poor Mudpie was so petrified she crashed into the step stool I was standing on trying to turn it off. Finally I just pulled the battery out but after putting it back in the alarm would go off again. I had to download the alarm's manual to find out how to make it stay off.

 
4. I wish I could turn my love of cats and Christmas into a paying job. If I was crafty I would make cat-themed ornaments or cat toys to sell on Etsy.

Feline Friday: Sorry, I'm Busy

Meows from Mudpie!

I think I hurt Mommy's feelings yesterday. All winter we've been enjoying a post-breakfast cuddle each morning where I would snooze on Mommy's lap while she drank her coffee and did stuff online. 

Yesterday morning I was a no-show. She went looking for me and found me soaking up the sun coming in the side door. I had to tell her I was busy with a previous commitment. 

Mommy knew this day was coming. Once the weather gets warmer I never want anything to do with her lap, but it still broke her heart knowing our lazy mornings together were coming to an end for the season. 

I kinda felt bad so we had a post-lunch cuddle instead...after the sun had moved from the driveway. 

Feline Friday is simple to join. All you have to do is:

Post a picture, drawing, cartoon or video of a cat (They may be silly or cute). 

Unboxing March's CatLadyBox

The theme of March's CatLadyBox was Spring Kittens...here's what was inside!

Featured Cat Lady Artist:

Nat Ellis

Cat's Garden Tee:

This shirt just screams spring! (It's still lightly snowing as I type this but hopefully one day soon my view outside will match the tee.)

Cat Collage Tumbler:

I love using tumblers when I'm out and about and this one is so eye catching.

Cat Lady Lint Roller:

Would you believe I've lived with cats my entire life and never once used a lint roller?

The end of the handle is a cat face!

Kitten Cuties Patches:

Not sure where I'll use these but they sure are cute!

Jelly Bean Beans and Lucky Taco Catnip Toys:

Cat lovers know the best jelly beans are toe beans!

Both of these toys are so adorable and fun. 

Mudpie wants to know if she can put a squeezie on her taco.
