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.

Easter Art & Selfies



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

1. My favorite Easter treat is Cadbury mini eggs. This year I'll only be enjoying them if I can find them half off the day after Easter. No way I'm paying current prices! 

2. My life would be different without cats. It would be an intolerable existence. 

3. If I could, I would give an Easter basket full of rotisserie chicken to Mudpie. This is an odd (not to mention messy!) answer but between Mudpie's diabetes (still currently in remission) and CKD I don't feel comfortable giving her rotisserie chicken anymore. It was one of her very favorite treats and it breaks my heart she can longer have it.

4. Is it weird that I prefer cats to people? I don't care if it's weird or not, I freely admit that I do!

Thankful for Easter Fun

Meows from Mudpie! 

Today we're thankful for our sweet friends Lynn and Precious who sent us this cute silvervine egg. I've been having so much fun with it!


In fact, Mommy had a hard time taking my picture with it because I kept knocking it over to keep playing! 


We don't usually do anything special for Easter at our house so this was a really fun treat!

6 Months #SundaySelfie

Meows from Mudpie!

Mo ran off for the Rainbow Bridge 6 months ago today and Mommy still misses him so much. 

Now that the weather is getting a little nicer and we have the back door open more she finds herself falling into a familiar pattern of glancing out when she's in the kitchen to see if that sweet little face is looking back in. 

Many times last summer and early fall Grandpa would say he didn't look forward to another winter of worrying about Mo out there in the cold. As it would turn out neither one of them would see the winter, which breaks our hearts.


We're joining our friends at The Cat on My Head for the Sunday Selfies blog hop!

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

1. My plans for this weekend include running errands on Saturday and watching the NASCAR race on Sunday. My typical weekend.

2. I meant it when I said I was frugal. This purse I wanted so badly when I saw it at my local Hallmark store a couple weeks ago finally hit Amazon. I already had an almost $34 gift card balance in my Amazon account, and I cashed in my Fetch app points for a $25 gift card, so I paid $5.30 for a $60 bag!


3. I should probably go out to the garage more often so that I know what's going on in there. My neighbor's cat Aria was trapped in my garage for 2 days! I opened the garage door yesterday afternoon to take out some trash and instantly heard a cat screaming. I didn't think anything of it because she's loud anyways. Then my neighbor came running over and said Aria had been missing since Wednesday. She had even put flyers up around the neighborhood. Aria had pulled every curtain out of every window and had even been digging to get out the side door even though the floor is concrete. She must've been frantic, not to mention starving. I felt horrible!

4. I will never jump on the reality TV trend.
