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

Mudpie's answers:

1. My April to-do list includes sunbathing and window whiffies. Hopefully!

2. I only eat Fancy Feast because Mommy buys it for Mo. I still can't say I really like it, but whatever I eat he doesn't get! (That's not very nice, is it?) BTW-we'll have an update on Mister Mo tomorrow! 

Mommy's answers:

3. I'd like to swap jobs with a cat cafe owner for a day.

4. I can't go to the store without my reusable shopping bags. I gripe about not getting plastic bags to reuse for garbage, but I prefer using my reusable bags while shopping so I don't have to touch dirty shopping carts and baskets.

Fun Feline Finds: L.A. Colors Cat Makeup Collection

Meows from Mudpie!

Does Mommy wear makeup? Nope.

Did she buy the entire collection of cat-themed makeup from L.A. Colors at Dollar Tree? You bet she did!

Unboxing March's CatLadyBox

The theme of March's CatLadyBox was Cattitude Cafe...here's what was inside!

Featured Cat Lady Artist: Karen Obuhanych

Is It Caturday Yet? Tee: Every day of the week should be given a cat name!

Cat Coffee Scoop: Ironically, just the night before our CatLadyBox arrived, I was looking online for coffee scoops. A cat-themed scoop never even crossed my mind! This is probably one of my favorite, most used item in any box.

Meow Coffee Mug: Big, bold, and adorable.

Kitty Keychain Pouch: Not sure how I'm going to use this yet, but the design is so fun - cats, coffee, and cupcakes are just a few of the things scattered about.

Eddie the Espurrresso Coffee Bean & Larry the Lemon Loaf Catnip Toys: These toys are just too cute for words. Confession time - I stole the coffee bean from Mudpie for my stuffie collection. Can anyone blame me??? It's a cat face espresso bean!!!

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

1. I like to pretend I'm a responsible adult.

2. Why anyone wants to attend the Running of the Bulls is beyond me. It's barbaric.

3. I have a lot in common with Garfield.

4. I tend to be optimistic about very little but pessimistic when it comes to most everything. I hate to admit it, but I'm a very pessimistic person and it's something I wish I could change about myself. Mom always said, "Expect the worst and you won't be disappointed." 

Ussie Gone Terribly Wrong #PetPhotoFails

Meows from Mudpie!

Thank you for joining us for this month's edition of the Pet Photo Fails Blog Hop! The calendar may say it's spring but we're expecting a messy mix of snow and ice this weekend. BOO! On the other hand, Mommy says if the weather is bad she'll be staying home and we can watch Mufasa and Flow so that sounds pawsome!

My photo fails this month are pretty self-explanatory. We tried taking an ussie and it went totally off the rails...  

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

Something's Missing...

Meows from Mudpie!

On Monday afternoon Mommy and Grandpa went out to have their taxes done. They were gone for HOURS. 

When they came home this is where they found me, on top of the case that holds a bunch of their most important legal and financial documents. They told me their taxes were done and my help was no longer needed.

What I was actually doing is auditing our financial situation to make sure we can continue to afford my squeezie habit. (We can.)

But I have an important question for Mommy...if this case contains important legal documents, where are my adoption papers? Huh?

Mommy's answers:

1. Cats are my kryptonite. They will always be my greatest weakness.

2. The TV remote is the thing I misplace the most often.

Mudpie's answers:

3. The day I met Mommy was when I realized I had found my forever home.

4. I wish I had learned about squeezies sooner. Mommy didn't think I would like them (I guess because I'm kinda fussy).

Requesting Purrs & Prayers for Mo

Meows from Mudpie!

Today we would like to request purrs and prayers for our feral boy Mo. We'll provide more details when we can, but he's not doing well at all and we fear we'll be saying goodbye soon. 

Mommy has been crying all week. She says she hasn't cried this much since losing Truffles. This is her first experience trying to take care of a truly feral cat, and her heart is breaking. 

Please pray that he's able to bounce back, but if he can't that he has a peaceful passing when it's his time, and that he knows how much he is loved.

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).

1. I enjoy talking to Mudpie. She's a chatty tortie and we talk all day.

2. Helping my neighbor switch to streaming in order to save money is something kind I did recently. 

3. I wish I could discuss politics without any repercussions.

4. I've been complimented on my caretaking abilities (for my Dad) but criticized for my political views. Both by the exact same family members.

Thankful for Crafty Friends & Family #ThankfulThursday

Meows from Mudpie!

Mommy always says she doesn't have a crafty or creative bone in her body, which makes her sad. She would love to be able to make catnip toys for kitties or cat-themed Christmas decorations, but thanks to lack of talent (and patience), it's just not happening. That makes her all the more thankful for the artsy people in her life! 

Last fall our sweet friend Marjorie at the Dash Kitten blog posted pictures of the super cool hand-painted fabric Dia de Muertos cats she made. Mommy absolutely fell in love with them and mentioned that she collects Dia de Muertos kitties as part of our Halloween decor. Would you believe a couple months later one of them arrived in our mailbox, all the way from New Zealand?!?! Mommy was beside herself with delight, and you can be sure it wasn't put away for next Halloween! It's been out on display ever since it arrived.

Then shortly before Christmas one of Mommy's aunts posted a picture on Facebook of some felt ornaments her crafting group was making to sell at next year's Christmas bazaars. One of them was a gingerbread cat. Mommy had already picked up several gingerbread cat themed items at TJ Maxx and HomeGoods and *needed* this little cutie to add to her collection. She messaged her aunt saying she wanted to buy it, but at a family funeral in January her aunt brought it along and gave it to her! 

And no, he wasn't put away with the Christmas decorations. Both of our new little friends have been left out for us to enjoy year round.

We're joining the Thankful Thursday blog hop because we're super thankful for crafty friends and family!

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

1. My March to-do list includes getting my taxes done and continued decluttering.

2. I used to like going on day trips, but not anymore. I'm becoming more of a homebody by the day.

3. Bones and Joffrey's are obscure coffee brands that I really enjoy. I've been picking up so many fun flavors at TJ Maxx and HomeGoods.

4. I'm most productive late in the evening. I think of all kinds of things I want to do the next day, then the next day comes and I no longer feel like doing them! Guess I should probably just get them done when the urge first strikes.

Feline Friday: Spring Cleaning Time!

Meows from Mudpie!

This was a first for me! Last night I wanted to take an after dinner nap in my Kat Kabin. I walked up to the door, pulled out my winter blankie, then stepped over it and climbed in! Guess I was letting Mommy know it's time to wash the blankie and put it away until fall. She reminded me it's still early March, and even though we're experiencing a slight warm up, I'll probably want my warm blankie back before long.

(Notice the little ghostie peeking out? Mommy hung him there for Halloween many years ago and never took him down. Every now and then I bat him around. He kinda looks like he's pleading for help here.)

Unboxing February's CatLadyBox

The theme of February's CatLadyBox was Furever Friends...here's what was inside!

Featured Cat Lady Artist: Tetiana Saienko

My Cat is My Bestie Tee: Love the pink, the graphics, and the sentiment! 

Luna Cat Glass Dish: This dish is much larger and heavier than I was expecting - very classy looking!

Paws & Reflect Journal: I have SO many cat notebooks and journals but the design of this one is a favorite. I need to think of something extra special to use it for.

Kitty Stickies Sticker Set: Everything is more fun with cat stickers on it!

Cuddly Carl Caterpillar & Butterfly Kiss Wand Toy: Both of these toys are so fun and purrfect for spring. The caterpillar is a hoot. He reminds me of Cousin Itt on The Addams Family.

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

1. I can't watch Gone with the Wind since losing Mom. Maybe one day I'll be able to again, but right now it just hurts too much.

2. I have adored cats since the day I was born. Probably even since the womb! 

3. A company called Champlain Software was my first ever job. I worked there after school for a couple years while I was in high school.

4. Don't follow the crowd - be yourself. is my best advice for anyone.
