Mom put links to these artists' work in their names just in case you want to see more.  (Who wouldn't!)''. We hope you enjoyed seeing these lovely cat creations!

**************************************
Now we didn't want to say anything but we HOPE you will compliment us on Giving Up the Cat-Ur-Day spotlight today.  It wasn't easy. Mom Carol had to twists our arms (er, paws) to get us to agree!

We're joining Athena & Marie's creative Caturday on Caturday and The Cat on MY Head's hop on Sunday! Hope everyone had a sweet Thanksgiving weekend.


Cat's Black Fur-day, er, Friday



We have always said that cats are the BEST sleuthing ex-puurrrrts at "sniffing" out a DEAL!  

You will see below how "Greedy Peaches"  overloaded a shopping cart. I confess I pushed the cart as we both tried to  SNEAK out of the store without remitting human currency.  

We maintain our mere presence should be payment enough! 

Respectfully yours,

Peaches & Paprika

Happy Thanksgiving to our Furrriends!


 Sending you heart-felt wishes that. you spend a wonderful holiday with those you love - furry or human!

Love, Peaches & Paprika


PS Complaint!  Mom Carol gave me a hard time this morning because of my ungraceful posture.  She accused me of trying to imitate a TURKEY.  "That was the IDEA..." I told her. 

Signed, Peaches the Cat


Another plan for today:  Paprika talked me into a little adventure so we could share the fun.  I'm a little nervous about it.  What do YOU think?  Can we get away with it?


Love, Peaches the Cat. (Happy T-Day, we'll let you know if it worked!)

On the Night before Thanksgiving


 Peaches here!   On the night before Thanksgiving suddenly a warm object appeared in the Kitchen....we knew instinctively was for US!



Usually we like SMALL birds...but we COULD make an exception...


Paprika and I had a quiet but earnest conversation...it was determined we should proceed....
