Just a quick post to wish you all a wonderful Caturday! Mine is going to be an all day marathon of running errands, cleaning the house for the Mother’s Day BBQ I am throwing tomorrow, starting to plan what to pack for BlogPaws, paying some bills, and doing laundry. In other words, all those things I should have been doing ages ago, but have put off to the absolute last minute that I can no longer procrastinate over. Luckily for me, Rolz has agreed to help me do the vacuuming and Jazz, Mia, Peanut, and Zee are helping me pack.

That’s my day. What are you all doing today?

Oh, and just in case we are not able to catch up with you tomorrow, Happy Mother’s Day to all the moms out there in what ever traditional or non-traditional sense that might be!

With Blog Paws only a couple of weeks away, it naturally got me to thinking of all things, blogging, which led me to the realization after self-analysis of the top basic rules to follow when creating a good blog post, that I was mediocre at best and needed to give myself the “Imperfect Blogger Award.” Or, if you prefer, “The Flawed Blogger Award,” or “The Blogger who Just Can’t Conform to the Golden Rules of Blogging Award,” or just simply, “The Bad Blogger Award.” Read more

A cat’s tail speaks a language of it’s own and in this case, I would use the words plucky, confident, happy, and self-assured to describe what our little Mia with her tail held high and proud is projecting  as she enjoys one of those precious morning jaunts outside when we give the kitties a supervised break in our fenced in backyard. I love, love, love her message and I love this picture of her. Mia is perpetually a happy and content girl and her flagship tail is one of her most endearing trademarks. She is what a I would call a “puppy-dog-cat” and is prone to following Dan and I about the house, always with her tail at full attention as she enjoys being part of our comings and goings!

With eight cats, you can only imagine the amount of “tail conversations” that go on all day in night in our household, but this particular message happens to be my favorite one and seemed the perfect way to say “Happy Wordless Wednesday” – only a few more days until the weekend!

With the onset of rising household name cat stardom and popularity as a result of the Internet, Kizmet the Kitten is no longer satisfied with the paltry couple dozen likes or so each of his pictures generates on facebook and attempts to become the next Keyboard, Grumpy, or Nyan Cat by going on a hunger strike until this picture of him looking adorable next to a computer keyboard goes viral.
