Run for the Roses #CaturdayArt

Meows from Mudpie, and Happy Derby Day!

Do you plan to watch the Kentucky Derby today? We will be even though Mommy watches horse races with one eye closed. She says NASCAR is her sport of choice because when the drivers crash they aren't destroyed like the poor horses are when they fall. She loves the Triple Crown races though - they're really all she watches - and she's so thankful she's now gotten to see two Triple Crowns in her lifetime. We hope it happens again, but more than anything we just pray for a safe race each year. The horses' lives are more important than any trophy.

For my Caturday Art project this week I decided to wrap myself in a garland of roses just like the winning horse will receive.

And now our weekly answers (all answered by Mommy this week) for the Friendly Fill-Ins challenge, hosted by 15andmeowing and Four-Legged Furballs!

1. I love watching the Triple Crown races but not horse racing in general. Last weekend I watched a documentary called Broken Horses (on FX and Hulu) about the sky high number of horses that died last year at Churchill Downs and beyond. Sadly, the Sport of Kings is all about money and the true stars - the horses - are paying the price.

2. Just because I adore animals doesn't mean I'm a vegetarian. Although I very easily could be. As it is I eat very little meat.

3. Am I the only one who uses Google Maps to drive somewhere unfamiliar before getting in the car? For example, Dad's rehab facility is in a part of my city I've never been to before, so I test drove the route on Google Maps before attempting to by car. 

4. I used to buy a lot of canned soup, but then I learned how to make my own.

Feline Friday: Feisty Mudpie

Meows from Mudpie!

Mommy told this story on her personal Facebook page, but I wanted to brag about it here too :) 

On Tuesday night around 11:30 Mommy had to run out to the garage to get me some fresh kitty litter. When she came back in I was waiting for her at the door, so she held it open for me for a few minutes so I could check things out and get some fresh air. All of a sudden I stood straight up and started hissing. Mommy looked out to see what was going on and there was a raccoon coming up the driveway, but when he heard from me he backed up and left! Mommy told me I'm too brave for my own good.

Then on Thursday morning Mommy was sitting on the couch eating her breakfast when she heard an awful ruckus coming from the back door (again) where I was sunbathing. She came running out to see what was going on, and found a neighbor kitty who's been visiting lately on the back step. I was sniffing at the bottom of the door, hissing and growling at him!

Mommy thought maybe I had mellowed with age when it came to other animals, but she was wrong! She asked me if I'm PMSing this week! MOL 

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).

Keeping Grandpa's Blankie Warm

Meows from Mudpie!

Grandpa will be discharged from the hospital on Thursday and needs to go to rehab for awhile. This is the blankie he covers up with in the living room, and I've volunteered to keep it warm for him while he's gone. I'm a helper kitty.

Spying on the Neighbors Again #SundaySelfie

Meows from Mudpie!

On Friday morning our neighbor had fiber internet installed, and I watched the whole thing! I don't think the guys knew they had a feline snoopervisor, but I needed to make sure they did a good job.

Caturday Art

Meows from Mudpie! 

Today is National Devil Dog Day, so we thought it might be fun to ask AI to show us a tortie eating a Devil Dog. We wondered if AI would know that a Devil Dog is a yummy pastry, or would it depict a kitty eating a devilish-looking dog? With AI, ya never know! 

This is what we got. It looks more like the cat is eating a chili dog, but it sure is cute!

1. I find foul language offensive.

2. Paid Viewpoint is a good way to make some extra cash. I've never joined any survey sites because usually you have to jump through hoops to get paid, but I signed up with this one because they pay you for your time even if you don't end up qualifying for a particular survey. It's kind of fun, takes very little time, and in just 2 weeks I've made $40! It paid for a stock up of Mudpie's squeezies and Mo's Fancy Feast!  

3. Not much makes me feel like I can accomplish anything. It's all I can do to get done what absolutely needs to get done.

4. I could see myself naming a cat or dog Conway.

More Purrs Needed #PetPhotoFails

Meows from Mudpie!

Thank you for joining us for this month's edition of the Pet Photo Fails blog hop! We have some bad news to report at our house once again - my Grandpa took another tumble on Wednesday afternoon, fractured his hip, and yesterday had a partial hip replacement. The surgery went well, now comes the recovery...

In my blooper this month I'm giving our current situation a big ol' blurry raspberry...

That's my photo fail...let's see yours!
