Mancat Monday

Hi peoples! Happy Monday, and Happy Labor Day to those in the U.S. (and Happy Labour Day to those in Canada...any other holidays out there today?).

You know, we have all sorts of toys here at The Kitty Krew -- The Mommy spoils us shamelessly, we'll give her full credit there -- and in fact we just got in some new ones late last week (reports coming soon!). But when I crawl in her lap for some one-on-one cuddle time and she insists on pulling out the flashy box thing, I just can't resist playing with the strap hanging down from it. It's great fun. Here's a short movie so you can see what I'm talkin' about:



We hope you kitties had a great weekend, and those of you with beans that have a 3-day weekend with the day off today, enjoy that extra day with them!

Bye peoples!

Thankful Tuesday

Hi peoples! We here at The Kitty Krew, especially Bugsy, have to send a huge mondo shout-out to our "cousins" over at Scooter's blog, also known to most of us as The~Kool~Kittie~Krew (we jointly decided that we must be cousins given the similarity of our name ).

Y'see, they all felt so bad for Bugsy and his surgery, that they wanted to send him a little get well present. And being the Kool Kitties that they are, they said they would send more than one little gift so the other kitties here wouldn't feel left out. Isn't that sweet? So the package arrived yesterday...and you know what that means, right? Photos!! (And a movie! You kitties will rue the day that The Mommy figured out that function of the flashy box thing...)

Here are Pixie and Callie inspecting the package:


And since it's Bugsy's package (it was even addressed to him!), he gets to inspect it too -- gotta sniff carefully to get it all!


This is a shot of the toys and treats with Bugsy and Callie checking it all out. There was a black and white feather toy that's Bugsy's special get well toy, plus a couple of packages of balls, some with jingle bells and some that are simple rubber balls. There were also several small bags of food and treats for us to try! Yummmmy!


There was also a cute kitty get well card, and some kitty has really nice handwriting! This was on the envelope...


Here's another photo of Callie checking things out, the card is over on the left (looks kinda like Ginger Jasper on it, doesn't it?!).


Okay, now we know everycat's been waiting for this...the piece de resistance (or however that's spelled...MOL)...yes, this is it -- Get Well Toy, The Movie! Each of us has a decent role in here, other than -- how's this for irony -- Bugsy, although if you watch quick you can see him in the very beginning, near the top, way in the back. Then he wanders off and kinda hides and you can't see him.

We're frankly not used to swinging toys like this, all the ones we have just lay on the ground and we play with 'em when we want to, so we're not quite sure how to take it...and The Mommy's not quite sure how to handle it either, she keeps swinging it in our faces. So there are a couple of dead spots, but bear with it...it has some really funny spots too (watch for the sneak attacks by Sassy!).



Thank you again so much to The Kool Kittie Krew, it was so very sweet of you to send me and my brother and sisters the toys and treats!

and the rest of

Toysday Tuesday

So The Mommy told us she ordered us some new toys from Baby Patches's website, Supplies Just 4 Pets, last week. Guess what came in the mail yesterday! We sniffed and sniffed at the package when The Mommy brought it in 'cuz it smelled so good. She wouldn't open it right away though, she said something about having to put groceries away. Hmph! And then she wanted to feed us, and eat dinner herself! Geesh!! But finally it was time to take care of the important stuff. Warning, lots of pictures coming up!

Sassy: Hey Callie, hey Pixie, what do you think is in here?


Roxy: I'm tired of waiting, I'm going to play with this old toy for now.


Sassy: Ohhhhh, I *like* this honeysuckle pillow! It tastes so good and the color that Baby Patches sent is our favorite! We love blue!


Pixie: Plague Ratsies!! We haz 'em! We now have 2 of our very own plague ratsies to play with. Great bunny-kicking fun!


Bugsy: And look! We also have Catnip Bananas! We got 2 of these, too. In addition to rubbing against like I'm doing here, these are also great for bunny-kicking as well as chewing. (We already had the boogie mat shown in this picture.)


Pixie: Yeah, I love the catnip banana, too! (You may need to bigify the picture to truly get the benefit of my expression...MOL)


Pixie: Hey Roxy, check out the new Boogie Mat -- now we have 3 of 'em! See what it says? "Birds can fly, so should I!" Hey - they ARE meant to be magic carpet flying boogie mats! (The orange toy shown behind me is an old one.)


Sassy: Hey Bugsy, these catnip bananas are a lot of fun, aren't they?

Bugsy: Yeah, they are, Sassy!


Sassy: I think the banana is my favorite, I can put the bitey on it and bunny-kick it at the same time!


Bugsy: I don't know, I kinda like the plague ratsie, too.


Callie: Yeah, the plague rat is good. It tastes good!


Callie: I like the banana too, though!


Roxy: The honeysuckle pillow smells pretty good!


The Mommy: In addition to the new boogie mat, 2 catnip bananas, 2 plague rats and the honeysuckle pillow, the spoiled kitties also got some other toys that weren't even given to them yet. I didn't want to overwhelm them with too much at once! So they still have more surprises to come in the future.... A big thanks to Baby Patches and her mommy for all the great stuff and getting it to us promptly!
