Feline Friday: Threats Work!

Meows from Mudpie!

Before Mommy got up Wednesday morning I did my number twos in the litter box...and let's just say there was a strong resemblance to chocolate pudding.

After she cleaned it up I started making more trips to the litter box, but peeing this time. Mommy counted at least 12 times, and a couple times I'm embarrassed to say I just squatted on the floor. 

This same thing happened back in January when I was having some tummy troubles, but Mommy still started to worry I might be developing a UTI. She told me if things didn't improve by early afternoon she was going to contact the vet to see if she could drop off a urine sample. With the holiday weekend coming up she wasn't going to take any chances.

Right around noon I finally settled down and took a long nap in the kitchen, and when I woke up I was perfectly fine! I've pottied normally ever since. 

Geez Mommy, you didn't need to threaten me! Take a chill pill! 

(Mommy reminded me that the days surrounding July 4th are not the time to tell her to calm down. There's been way too much tragedy in this house around the Independence Day holiday over the years so she's always even more on edge than usual.)


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).

Summer Lovin'

Mommy here!

This is a horrible picture, but such a sweet moment I had to share.

I decided to run my weekly errands yesterday morning so I wouldn't have to go out into the depths of Hell the next few days. 

It only took a couple hours, but that's an eternity away from Mudpie, so when I got home I sat on the living room floor to give her lots of kisses. I was pretty worn out so on a whim I decided to lie down on the floor to see what she would do. 

She curled up beside me, put her head on my shoulder, and promptly dozed off! She even started snoring! 

We stayed that way for probably a half hour, and while my back was breaking on the hard floor, I wouldn't have moved for anything in the world. It's way too hot for us to cuddle the way we do the rest of the year, but we still found a way to be close. 

I know most people would probably say the same thing about their pet, but I swear she is the sweetest, most loving cat that ever lived.

Caturday Art


Visit more artsy kitties at Athena's Caturday Art blog hop!



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

1. My summer bucket list includes continued decluttering and housecleaning. Now that Mudpie has taken up residency at the door to soak up some rays I don't have the excuse of her always on my lap so I have to get stuff done! 

2. Summers during the 1990s were some of the best summers that I ever had. I changed this prompt a bit but I couldn't choose just one. During that time period I got to travel to many country music concerts in my area. 

3. I'm getting ready for Halloween and Christmas by stalking the stores for this year's decor.

4. Any news story about animal abuse immediately makes me livid and horrified.

Squeezie Table Selfie Flops #PetPhotoFails

Meows from Mudpie!

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

We've been super lucky with the weather so far this summer. We've had a few hot days, but they've all been followed by a drop in temperature. We've only had to turn the AC on two days! It has been a very unusual June, but it looks like the party's over. They're predicting 90 with high humidity just as July makes its unwelcome arrival. Good thing Summerween and Christmas in July are here! 


Both of my bloopers this month were taken from my squeezie table while Mommy was trying to help me snap a selfie. Of course I wasn't about to sit still - she had a squeezie!!! 



Those are my bloopers...let's see yours!

Notice Anything Missing? #SundaySelfie

Meows from Mudpie!

The one white whisker over my left eye disappeared! Mommy noticed it on Thursday when I hopped up on my squeezie table. She got all excited and had to take a picture. I just wanted the squeezie. 

Isn't it weird how that whisker keeps popping up and then disappearing? Angel Truffles used to get one white whisker in the same spot too and Mommy would jokingly call it her little devil horn. But I'm 100% angel. Mommy agrees.


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