Yeah, I get it, double take, right? Just who is this impostor in my house? Is it really true that I have clothes that are not leopard inspired? Ugg… I’m so embarassed to be seen in public like this!<\/p><\/div>\n

When I say BlogPaws, Present and Past, what I really mean is present\u2026 as in lots<\/strong> and lots<\/strong> of presents!!! As you all know by now, my camera has had its own BlogPaws journey and has finally found its way home a couple of days ago thanks to Caren Gittleman of Cat Chat with Caren and Cody <\/a>who was kind enough to send it to me. Well, when I opened the box, was I ever in for a BIG surprise!<\/p>\n

Not only did Caren take the time to wrap my camera in industrial strength packing tape and bubble wrap to ensure its safe arrival, but she jammed the box to the rim with swag for the kitties!! Lots and lots of swag to the point I thought I was in the midst of a Petsmart holiday sale! Now mind you, my cats are already spoiled with kitty toys of every shape, make, and style you can imagine. Then, when I came home from BlogPaws last week and dumped all the cat loot I accumulated on the floor, their toy inventory became even more superfluous. But what Caren and Cody\u00a0sent, wow, it just sent my kitty cats\u00a0off the deep end with\u00a0joy!!!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Lots and lots of loot! Peanut, of course, is ignoring the toys and playing with a packing peanut! Must be the same name thing…<\/p><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

All of these gifts were lovingly hand-picked by Caren and Cody themselves. Cody, in particular, was very thoughtful in his choices \u2013 he sent a beautiful floral\u00a0Snouse (Mousey Weiner Link)\u00a0to Mia because he knew how much this Diva Princess kitty would love this pretty toy! For Zee, he sent a super-duper awesome Kong toy (it looks like some sort of weird scarecrow martian) that he just knew\u00a0he would love! Cody \u2013 since you are a cat and you think like a cat, your gift choices could not have been more purr-fect and it was so extra special sweet of you to give away some of your own favorite toys just to make my kitties happy! As you can see from the pictures, Mia did not want to share HER toy with her bully brother Rolz who kept trying to steal it from her and Zee was clearly in another world with his special toy! Sad to say Cody, my cats don\u2019t have the manners or thoughtfulness you do \u2013 sharing is not something they like to do!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

You can see that Mia to the right, is trying to take HER toy back from her mean brother Rolz! Just like human siblings, the kittens like to torture one another! Mr. Jazz is overseeing the commotion and Zee is claiming his Kong toy!<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"<\/a>

A cat and his Kong….<\/p><\/div>\n

We are all so\u00a0appreciative of Caren and Cody\u2019s\u00a0kindness and\u00a0 \u00a0the gifts were a big hit, but, for me, the nicest gift was the card Caren sent me with a beautiful handwritten note inside \u2013 believe it or not, one of the cats on the card was the spitting image of my sweet Peanut!!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Thank you for the beautiful card!<\/p><\/div>\n

Thank you again Caren and Cody \u2013 you guys rock!!! xoxoxo<\/p>\n

Oh, and yes, now I can finally do a post on the BlogPaws event! I guess better late than never! See you in a couple days with that!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
