My 10th Gotcha Day!!!

My 10th Gotcha Day was yesterday. Meowm was thinking about that day and wondering where has the time gone? It only seems like yesterday she found me, screaming my little head off and starving, because I really was hungry and had a cigarette burn on the top of my little head. Some people down the all had me for a week, only gave me milk, so I was really really hungry!

Meowm found me in the hall on Good Friday and dats how I come by my name!! She had to give me back to those bad people but she came back for me Easter Sunday!! And the rest as they say, is history!!

I was a cute little monkey

There are other pictures of me as a baby, just have to dig them out, another posting I will.

I got some tuna as a treat and pictures taken. Meowm moved stuff around the living room so now I am back in the rocking chair I once claimed as my own, years ago!! That means I am spending more time in the living room wif Meowm and not in my basket on the kitchen table. Hey this is kind of nice for a change, if I do say so myself

Happy Burfday to ME!!! Ten Years Old Already!!!

I had a wonderful birthday this past Saturday, Feb. 21/15.  I'm ten years old now. Already!!! Where does dat time go??

Started the day off wif Meowm opening her eyes and seeing me laying der, looking right at her. I gave her a little wink wif my left eye, too. She reached over and patted my head and said, "Happy Birthday Friday!!". OH BOY!!

We all got up and headed into dat kitchen fur breakkie.  After dat out came the gift bag. It was a beeg bag. too, MOL!!!  Meowm had her phone set up fur video and was taping dis. Handing my gifts to me.  Of course, dem sisfurs of mine had to get into dat action.  Checking out my loot and being a part of my movie memory making day, MOL!!!

My furiends from Florida sent me an apple and a banana Yeowww cat nip toy. Was I ever catcited!! I always wanted one of dem bananas!! And an apple too!! WOWZERS!!

Bailey checking out dat new banana catnip Yeowwww toy

So catcitied about my new apple catnip Yeowwww toy

I got a bewtifur hand crochet blankie. It's not a HL blankie, but I fink it's better and so much more lovely. It only cost Meowm $5.00 fur dis blankie and it measure 40x42 inches or so!! An elderly lady makes these and the proceeds go to missions.  Can't even buy the yarn fur dis price. It's a keep sake one. Meowm crocheted one fur Buddy years ago and she's finking about doing us all one too. Mine is put away, It only comes out when I has to go somewhere, dat way dem gurls don't snug it wif their claws (me neither, MOL)

making biskicks

WOW!!! dis is mine??? Bewtifur!!

Meowm also bought me, "GULP" coat!! can you belieeesss dat one!!! MOL!!! She said it was da cat's meow when she saw it and thought I would love to have this since lots of my innernet furiends likes to dress up!!! Well, let's just say, the look in my eyes and da way I wouldn't move told her I don't like it and to take it back!!  She figures I needs it in case I has to go out in dat winter to dat V*T$ purrlace!! ~ Well, den fur sure take it back right now!! I not go to dat purrlace ever again!! You take dis here coat right back where you gots it furm, MOL!!!

Meowm also made me a beeg bunny kicker. Neiko really liked it and showed us how to use it at our pawty!!! She sure had fun wif it.

Oh dis smells wonnerfur and its super soft too

All in all, it was a pretty memorial day. Thank goodness Meowm took pictures as well, since the videos won't play on the puter!! something is not working right on Media Player. When the puter goes in fur a tune up this has to be addressed!!! Us kibbies need our movies preserved!!

Meowm is kind of sad to see me in the double digits now, but also so happy and proud I am still here wif her. She says she is truly blessed to have alla us furbabies in her life, and know what?? I agress wif her ~ we are all blessed to have each ofur ~ may not have money, but there is always food and all of our needs met ~ and in the end, it's all about the love.  What a pawsome life I have been able to have for the last 10 years, let's hear it for another 10 years at least!!!

A Little Dis and a Little Dat ~ Oh and Meowm's Great Mews, Too!!!

February is a hard month fur our Meowm. So many dates, some good, some very sad.  We don't caterbrate Valentine's...our Grandfather passed away a day before it.

It may be cold and blowing snow out dis week, but it sure be a wonnerfur week fur our Meowm.  Last Sunday her niece, who lives in Michigan, got a hold of Meowm.  Now her niece, Ashley, an adult and meowm hasn't seen her or her brother in about twenty years or so. Things happen in families, and her mom moved them away when she met an American and married him.  Meowm has been so happy. It will take time, as it should, to get to know each other. She sure is a beauty. So much has already happend to Ashley in her young life ~ Non - Hodgkins Lymphoma when she was a teen and her boyfriend was killed by gunfire. Wrong place, wrong time. She's a tiny thing, but a real go get her!!! Works hard and going to college. Hopefully we can meet her some day soon in person.

Anyway, enough of dat!!! Onto US kibbies, MOL!!!! we's da most important to Meowm, paws down, MOL!!!

We're getting ready fur my birfday!! I will be 10 years old on the 21st.  There's a bag of goodies I see up in the closest and a box came fur little ol' me!!! Meowm said I has to wait till my birday to open it

Dis is mine???

Hmmmmm.....wonner what's in it..Waht, I has to wait????

Den on Friday, Meowm went shopping fur some supplies and came home wif anfur gift, She said, "Here Friday, let's try this on you". Well, I not sure what dat find is, but its beeg and brown and she was trying to put it on me!! I cried out and she let me go, MOL!!! (wink) I fink it's a coat, not sure why she bought dat!! she can just take it back!! I no go outside. She figures if I ever has to go to dat v*t@ purrlace den I can be nice and warm, PFFTTTT!!! I not going dat purrlace!!! Just take it back, Meowm!!!

We got an idea off dat internet, to make our own homemade water fountain.  Alla us kibbies need to drink more water, right???  Well, Meowm saw dis picture and went *smack forehead* WHY DIDN"T I THINK OF THIS????

It's a water fountain!!! Using an aquarium filter!! Much cheaper than the ceramic and stainless steel ones, and the design possibilities are endless!! So When Meowm gets to a Walmart, she is picking one of dis here filters and checking out different bowls and such.  Might even dcorate it wif some nice colored stones.  Our Buddy had an aquarium once and he used  to stand up and put his paw where dat water comes flowing out and fill his paw and drink dat water, MOL!!!

We're having trouble still wif Catster, getting 503 errors and we have no time to keep trying, so feeling kind of bad missing so much there.  The good news?? the site is still being worked  and hopefully it will be moved to its new plateform by May...we will continue to blog here.

I Love My Basket

There is nothing quite like my basket.  I practically live in it, MOL!!! Meowm brought it home a few months ago, dropped it on the table and walked away.  When she came back into the room, there I was, happly laying in it.  Wow, what a nice gift to have and it's all mine, MOL!!.

I have gotten kind of upset wif Meowm if she tries to move it, I finally have something that is nice, comfy, high up and relaxing.

Neiko has been known to hop into it when I have gone for a little stroll in the house, MOL  by the looks of fings, she's enjoying it too

I also have a nice wicker basket that was PaPa Buddy's and laid in it for a long time, too

Bailey is checking out PaPa Buddy's basket too ~ it's nice and beeg and comfy

There's just nofing like a wicker basket, especially on a cool winter day.  Get into one, snuggle down wif some nice comfy blankies and has a snooze!

It's Been TOOO Long ~ Working Hard At The New Business

Holy Whooozers!! It's been way too long since we've last been on our blog.  It was a busy autumn.  Then one day while experimenting with some material and batting, it all finally came together ~ it only took about a year for the product to finally meet Meowm's  expectations.  After lots of trial and error we finally had a product we were happy with to make and sell.

The product is a Catnip Mat.  I know there are lots on the market, but ours is bigger, safer (no dangly tassels and such) and made with lots of love.

We made a page on Facebook to promote and sell some.  Went over very well for Christmas gifts.  Everyone came back and said it is a well made product and they are all very happy with it.

Our only problem right now is trying to find a site so others who are not on Facebook can see the items and order if they like.  We're small and just starting out, so really don't want to have to pay lots for a site.  We're thinking of trying to do one on Blogger and that way everyone can hopefully see it???  We should be able to have a Paypal link or button where peeps can go to pay for the items.

We want to be able to have a few pages too:  One that tells the story as to why we created the store (based on Friday and his needs), another page with pictures of different materials to choose from for the mats, another page for maybe some human gifts, like coasters and table runners, oh yes and we need  to have our soft cuddly toys on there too.

Lots to learn and do and we are determined little kibbies too, MOL!!

Here are a couple of pictures of what we made, along with happy customers!!

This particular one is a custome made order!!  We have done two custom orders, one for doggie snooze sacks, too, MOL!!

Hopefully we will be able to get our online store up and running not just on Facebbook but where others can come and have a look and see.   We have a great name too ~ Pawsitively Pawsome Creations.

It's been a really nice week.  Finally our summer back, it went MIA for most of September.  Anyways we can have the windows open again.  It's so pretty outside.  There's also a distinctive odor in the air ~ the kind that says it's AUTUMN!!

Meowm's been busy wif da canning and cleaning the yard.  She brought in a whole bunch of carrots last evening.  HMMMM....wonder if they are any good to purrlay wif???

I decided it was time to decorate my page at Catsterland.  There is so much to learn there about css and stuff.  Hopefully Meowm will let me have some time in the very near future to go and read up and learn so I can make awesome backgrounds!! I've been collecting the free digital scrapbook papers, elements and frames ~ to make our memory books from and also to decorate wif.

This is what I came up wif fur my header today ~ now it looks kind of funny at the top, on account I had to keep playing and resizing it to try and fit properly...what a racket that was!! lots of redoing my work too!

I have some Happy Thanksgiving wording in the background, since our Thanksgiving is in a few weeks.  I have a whole bunch of neat stuff for Halloween.  So I'm going to start to get that ready too ~ the girls need to get decorated too.  It's just really time consuming.  A furiend gave us a css code and its good, but there are all kinds out there and I am determined to learn how to decorate my pages to the max!! MOL!!

We haven't been around much.  Lots to do, getting ready for winter.  Helping Meowm wif the canning and freezing.  Dis way she has more money to spend on our stuff we kibbies need.  Next week or so Meowm is going shopping and picking up like three boxes of litter, at least thirty cans of food for the girls.  I eat the special stuff from the vets office.  No more Temptation treats once again for the girls.  Read where some kibbies have died from them once again.  We are out of them at the moment and the girls are getting Purina Cat Chow as treats, MOL!!!! they don't even notice the difference.  We thought for sure Neiko would, but she likes this!! So this will be their treats from now on.

Tomorrow is International Talk Like a Pirate Day.  I'm in costume, but the girls aren't.  There is always next year.  We have downloaded the Gimp program.  Had it years ago on the old puter.  Also found a site for digital scrapbooking that uses the Gimp program, so got a lot of information from that site downloaded to read at home, as we don't have the net at home, and can play around with the Gimp program at our leisure.

Meowm knows how much I love to make pictures and I want to start doing some pawsome stuff with digital scrapbooking.  I want to make memory keepsake books for our Meowm.

Here is the link to the site ~ check it out!!!
