Mo Needs Purrs & Prayers

Meows from Mudpie :(

Mommy will write all about it later, but today we're requesting purrs and prayers for our feral boy Mo.

He has deteriorated significantly over the past few weeks, and he'll most likely be going to the Rainbow Bridge this week. 

Mommy has spent the weekend trying to bring him into the house for his last days but so far it hasn't worked. She fears he's going to pass away outside all alone and that she won't be able to find him.

Mommy's heart is breaking. She just wants him to have a peaceful passing, surrounded by her love.

Feeling Wistful #CaturdayArt


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. I will never eat blood sausage again.

2. I would like a taste of anything peppermint. It won't be long now!

3. I'm oddly fascinated by all things spooky. Hence my love for Halloween!

4. It would probably be wise if I stopped shopping while I'm constantly trying to declutter, but I instead go crazy every Halloween and Christmas.

'Scuse Me, Coming Through #PetPhotoFails

Meows from Mudpie!

Thank you for joining us for this month's edition of the Pet Photo Fails Blog Hop! It's so hard to believe we're already at the end of September. If only the yucky summer months flew by as fast as the fall months!


My blooper this month was taken while Mommy was trying to help me take a selfie. Obviously I had very important Mudpie stuff to do elsewhere!

Fun Feline Finds for Halloween from Etsy

Meows from Mudpie!

Mommy started to decorate for Halloween this week! Even though she already has more than she could ever use she's always looking for more, and one of her favorite places to shop for Halloween goodies is Etsy. There are so many creative people out there creating pawsome kitty items, and we thought we'd share some of our favorite finds (for both humans and cats) with you today!











We hope you enjoy our Halloween picks, and don't forget, if you find something here you like and make a purchase using our affiliate links, I get a little money for my piggy bank!

Back On My Squeezie Table #SundaySelfie

Meows from Mudpie!

I snapped my selfie this week on the table next to the couch where I wait for extra squeezies. Here's my trick - I snuggle on the couch with Mommy for awhile, then hop on up to the table because I know I can stare at her and con her out of extra treats up there! (I don't get on the table during the summer because the fan blows on me and I don't like that.)

PS - Now that I'm older and heavier Mommy doesn't like it when I jump off the table (she's afraid I'm going to break a leg) and tries to stay nearby to help me get down. Last night she was busy in the kitchen and I was tired of waiting for her so I jumped down by myself. No problemo!

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

Mommy's answers:

1. Don't live your life for someone else was the best advice I ever received.

2. If you don't have any pets you won't get your heart broken when they die was the worst advice I ever received. (An uncle told me this after losing Truffles.)

Mudpie's answers:

3. If I knew how to open a squeezie, I would eat until I bust.

4. I thought I was Mommy's one and only, but it turned out I was sadly mistaken. Lately Mommy has been spending tons of time looking out for Mo (he's not doing well) and cat sitting for our neighbor. I'm feeling very neglected.

Not Me #SundaySelfie

Meows from Mudpie!

Mommy wrenched her back on Friday afternoon and has no idea what she did. Seemingly out of nowhere she started having spasms in her lower right back when she bent over, barely slept Friday night, and it hurt even worse on Saturday morning. (Ice and ibuprofen did help as the day went on.)

So of course *some kitty* made a poopy mess in their litter box overnight and proceeded to rub their little tushie on the bathroom rug, living room rug, and kitchen floor, so Mommy had to get down on her hands and knees to clean it all up. Wasn't that inconsiderate of *some kitty*?

At times like this it stinks to be an only cat...there's no one else to blame.

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

1. Eating pizza makes me happy.

2. I don't mind paying extra for anything for my cats. I often joke that everything I buy at the grocery store is store brand except for cat food! 

3. Seeing Mo happy was the best part of my summer. Last winter was extremely hard on him, so seeing him lounging in the sun each day has been such a joy. I love fall and winter but I'm okay with it staying warmer for longer so he can continue to be comfortable. 

4. I can't wait to decorate for Halloween this autumn.

It works!

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

1. I define success by being content with what you have.

2. Nearly running out of gas was an awkward moment. Dad and I were running errands on Wednesday when the low fuel warning light came on. I didn't realize how low I was. Dad started to worry he was going to have to walk home!

3. I learned to drive when I was 30 years old. I took drivers ed in high school (as a senior, I waited as long as I could!) Then Dad wanted to continue teaching me on a stick shift which I absolutely despised, so I stopped driving. Thankfully I worked within walking distance. Finally at 30 I started driving again on an automatic and got my license.

4. I can only take so much heat and humidity before I get grumpy.

Feline Friday: Mudpie's Purrfect Right Paw

Meows from Mudpie!

Mommy loves this closeup of the paw on my right front leg, her favorite.

Doesn't it look like I'm wearing a ring?



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).

Mo in the Rhubarb Patch

Meows from Mudpie!

Last week Mommy had a cat sitting job taking care of our neighbor kitty. Our neighbor is a wonderful gardener, and while Mommy was looking out the window admiring the garden, she spotted Mo hanging out by a rhubarb plant!

It really made Mommy smile because there's an old movie from 1951 starring an orange cat called Rhubarb. We wonder if it's too late to change his name? MOL

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

1. My to-do list for September includes celebrating my birthday and hopefully getting back to decluttering.

2. 3rd grade was my favorite year of school. Mrs. Brownsord was my favorite teacher. I had her for Kindergarten, and was so happy when she moved to teaching 3rd grade so I got to have her for a second year.

3. I have a lot of respect for animal rescuers because they're unsung heroes.

4. Getting sick on it made me stop eating ricotta cheese.

#PetPhotoFails

Meows from Mudpie!

Thank you for joining us for this month's edition of the Pet Photo Fails Blog Hop! We are SO excited to see September on the horizon, although we're happy to say that we've been enjoying a bit of a fall preview with high temps in the 60s and 70s! The nights have been downright chilly too! Cuddle time!!!


Our blooper this month doesn't require any explanation. It's just a total photo fail!


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