Thursday in the Garden

 

::3 paw taps::

Al here today for the garden tour.  Since we don't go outside, I will have to tell you about the garden from the screen porch.  We have lilies galore all along the back yard border - every color imaginable.  Yellow, orange, double ones, tiny ones.  It is a good thing we don't go outside cuz lilies are very toxic to cats.  Mom didn't plant any of these - they were here when she bought the place.

 

For more garden tours please do visit Jonsie and the Society of Feline Gardeners.

Happy 4th of July!

 

It is me, Only, today wishing you a very happy 4th of July from all of us at Wildcat Woods!  Mom had a tough time getting any of us to pose with this stuff!  She finally set the chair up and put me on it rattling the beads to get my attention.  We got some good outtakes below! heeheehee

The beans are going to watch the fireworks display.  What are your plans for the holiday?  I hope I at least get a treat for doing this!

International Box Day!

Thanks to Zoolatry for the graphic.

Welcome to the Third International Box Day, June 30!  It's to celebrate boxes in all shapes and sizes and how great they are to sit in!  What cat does not like a box?

Georgie

It's me Georgie narrating today.  I like to sit in the box covers on the shelves in the cat house with a snugly blanket.  In the winter it is cozy up here.  I think it is Norm in the box below, Playing hard to get - he is like that you know.

Norm???

And Minnie here couldn't wait for Mom to empty the cat food box before she got inside it.

  She is soo impatient.

Minnie

Woody here thinks he is invisible and hides inside a box inside a box - like we can't see him!

Woody

Even Yoko got in the act today - she is a big box fan from way back.  She is 18 so she has been thru a lot of moves with Mom and Pop.  When the moving  boxes come out, Yoko couldn't be happier!  She hides in the best boxes until they have to use them.

The beans always leave a box or two out in the cat house for us to play with.  Al loves them too and stakes out his own box.  He is very possessive of his boxes.

Al

Hope you have enjoyed seeing some of us in our boxes. Happy Box Day ya'll!  We can't wait to see all of your box pics.

Tagged on Tuesday

It is me, Norm today.  We got tagged by Marg's Pets (thanks guys!) and Mom thought I should answer your questions since I don't get much blog time.

Do you think you're hot??

I guess I am if you like the strong silent type.  I prefer to be alone unless I am with my best buddy Snowball.

Upload a picture of wallpaper you are using at the moment.

Mom thought we would like this cuz we would think it was a real aquarium and real fish...NOT!

When was the last time you ate chicken meat?

It has been a while..Mom gives us tuna and salmon but not chicken.  She doesn't eat meat but eats fish once in a while.  We get chicken in our Wellness canned cat food.  Does that count?

The song you've listened to most recently??

Mom sings to us, sort of nonsense tunes with silly words so unfortunately that is that last song in my head...:sigh:

What were you thinking when you were doing this??

Why did Mom pick me to do this?  I prefer to be in the background and just watch all the goings on.

Do you have any nicknames?

Oh dear..Mom has a few for me and I don't like them...Normy,  Norman, Norm Norm..see what I mean?

Thank You!

Me with a Thank You card for you.

Chica here and I want to give you all a great big THANK YOU for helping to make my 20th birthday party extra special.  I am pooped and resting up after the late night partying!  It was worth it tho.

We have some winners to announce!  You guys did great in the guessing games.  Here are the answers and the winners:

Mom found me in Florida outside a shopping mall.  The gang from  Marg's Pets was the first to guess right  and they win a nip cigar.  We will send that off to you guys this weekend.

The hidden mousie was in the photo of me on my back showing my belly.  Chloe and Cecil got that right first and win a couple of sheepskin mice to play with.

The answer to what kind of coat do I have is - brindle.  Artemesia's gang won the Play and Squeak ball.

The treat jar stumped all of you - the number of treats in the jar was 163.  No one got that right but the cats from Katnip Lounge guessed 152 - just 11 off the right number.  They were the closest and win bags of Temptations.

And finally, Mom chose a commenter using random.org to let them choose who she will donate $20. to in honor of me.  That winner is 3 Kats and a Kwilter.  We contacted them and they would like to make this donation to Chrystal's cats of Daily Does of Dogs.  We can't think of a more deserving group - thanks guys to doing that!

Thank you all again for playing and joining in the festivities!!!  I am so lucky to have all of you as friends and hope to be around for many more birthdays!
