Feline Friday Flashback: Surveying My Domain

Meows from Mudpie!

This photo was taken back in 2020 as I looked out over my backyard from the bathroom window. When I first moved here I was such a rambunctious tot that I would race through the house, into the bathroom, onto the edge of the bathtub and then fly up into the window without a moment's hesitation. I would scare Mommy to death with my gymnastics! Now that I'm an older (and wiser/wider) senior lady, when I want to look out I sit on the bathroom floor and look up at the window, waiting for a "butts up". 

My staff (Mommy) always obliges...and even waits until I'm done to help me back down! Now that's service! 

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). 

This Box Isn't Going Anywhere

Meows from Mudpie! 

Mommy has been busy hauling out another closet. This box contained a pair of boots she no longer wanted. As soon as I saw the box I knew it would make a pawsome bed, so I climbed right in - even though the boots were still inside! 

The boots have been donated. The box is staying right where it is.

Our Día de los Muertos Plans #SundaySelfie

Meows from Mudpie!

We've mentioned many times how Gone with the Wind was my Grandma's favorite movie. Mommy and Grandma watched it on her birthday in August every year, but since Grandma has been gone Mommy has been unable to watch it. It's been nearly 4 years. 

Día de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) is a multi-day Mexican holiday (October 31-November 2) during which time friends and family members who have died are honored and remembered. 

Mommy happened to notice the other day that GWTW will be airing on TCM this afternoon. We obviously have the movie on DVD and digital and can watch it at any time, but we think the fact that it's airing today is a sign and we plan to cuddle up together on the couch and watch it...for Grandma. As we approach this first holiday season without both Grandma and Grandpa we want to do everything we can to keep them with us. 

(Mommy will be keeping an eye on the NASCAR race on her laptop. Grandma would understand!)

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

1. On Halloween, I will watch a scary movie. I'm leaning towards Black Christmas. It's been on my watch list for awhile and will also count as my first Christmas movie of the season! 

2. When it comes to Halloween candy, I will gladly trade my candy corn for more chocolate.

3. If I had to wear one Halloween costume for an entire year, I would dress as a cat.

4. I adore scary movies. NOT today's gory horror movies, but creepy classics from the 40s, 50s and 60s - Hitchcock, Vincent Price, Universal Monsters - love em! 

I Blinked #PetPhotoFails

Meows from Mudpie!

Thank you for joining us for this month's edition of the Pet Photo Fails blog hop!

We've been having the most amazing weather the past couple weeks. Loads of sun, temps in the 50s and 60s...we wish it could stay like this year round!

My photo fail this month was taken on a recent sunny day. I was just getting ready to snap a selfie and then I had to blink. Oops! I still look super cute though. 

That's my blooper...let's see yours!

I've Been Granted A Reprieve

Meows from Mudpie! 

I mentioned on Sunday that Mommy was planning on making a vet appointment for me because I haven't been feeling well. You might remember that one of my embarrassing nicknames is "Muddy Poo-Poo". Well, let's just say that my poo-poos were kinda muddy late last week, and my appetite wasn't as robust as it usually is. 

The good news is on Sunday my number twos were more formed, and my appetite was much better. This morning Mommy said I did a prize-winning pooper-doodle! (I'm so embarrassed...) So I've been granted a reprieve on visiting the vet. 

Phew...that was close!

First #SundaySelfie on Mommy's New Phone

Meows from Mudpie!

There was a disaster at our house this week. Mommy's phone died. She ignored the critical warning about storage space one too many times and it completely froze up Wednesday morning. After several attempts at getting it back up and running she gave up and bought a new one. Then she was a couple hours chatting online trying to get it set up. By Wednesday evening her blood pressure was most likely 200/200.

The good news is most things transferred over to the new phone, including a voice mail message from my Grandpa she had kept. The bad news is many photos and all the notes she had in a Notebook app weren't backed up anywhere. She's especially sick over the notes because many have sentimental value of things she wanted to remember from the past few years losing Grandma and Grandpa. She's praying she can find a data recovery specialist to attempt a data dump. 

As if that wasn't bad enough I haven't been feeling great so Mommy said we should schedule my 6- month senior check-up a little early. Can anyone hide me for awhile?

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

1. I have been ignoring things that need to be done for too long.

2. Today's pop culture bores me.

3. Too many tourists is my main criticism of the fall foliage season in my area.

4. If I threw a Halloween party, it would include exclusively black cat decorations.
