Happy National Bathtub Party Day

 Happy Naitonal Bath Tub Party Day!  Now we, as cats, are usually cautious about anything WATER-related but we HAVE purr-suaded all our cousins, aunts and uncle tiger-calicos to give it a try.  They are very inventive, finding a way to get in the tub without getting wet.  Hats off to our courageous feline relatives. As for us, we're staying dry today.

But click on the video below!

We thought it would suffice for now to have our relatives cooperate but NOoooo, our unstoppable had to go and ask our brave models to go a step further.  She suggested a water fight!  (see video above...we think it's out-rageous.)

We may just join our friends at the Creative Caturday Cat Hop, hosted by our friends, Athena and Marie.

Cebrating Faux Fur Friday 2025 - in Style!

We have always believed in Faux Fur Friday...because there's so little we have to do to prepare!  Why all we have to do is parade around in our REAL FUR...Whadaya think...am I the "real thing?" -- Peaches the cat

Our human, demonstrating the "faux fur" look thinks she can look like US just by wearing the right kind of sweater.  Lots of Luck with THAT idea human!   

But our human DOES go to alot of trouble celebrating this day!  Just look at the zebra throw she got for us! 

FAUX FUR DAY made its debut in 1929. Initially made from alpaca wool, faux fur increased in quality as synthetic fibers became available. The fibers not only allowed for more variety and texture, but they also provided warmth. Designers use it as an accent on clothing. They also create decor and entire ensembles. Faux fur comes in every color imaginable, too. 

HOW TO OBSERVE #FauxFurFriday

Throw a faux fur style show or shop for a faux fur deal. Wrap yourself in a soft, furry throw or poncho. Add some faux fur to a denim jacket

As you can see, I am getting in the spirit by a demo with our human Carol's tiger-striped hat.  Her intentions are good. Here is a better picture of the hat in question.  As you can see this hat and I are very good friends!   I prefer in fact to think of it as "my hat." However my sister, Paprika seems to think she got a raw deal, due to the fact she was given a LEOPARD blanket.  Paprika is SO picky.  As far as I, Peaches am concerned, it's all good!  BTW that tiger hat I spoke of is in hot demand.  

I, Paprika, have rights to this hat, too! I use it whenever I see it.  I'm not crazy like Peaches tho.  She WEARS it!

Peaches here, back again!  I wish to prove I'm not picky about whether the "faux fur" is leopard or tiger.  As you see, I am purr-fectly content on the leopard throw which Mom Carol gave us, evidenced by the fact, I'm kicking up my heels, er snow white boots!    Happy Faux Fur Day to all, and remembr if you ar "without faux fur" in your house, you always have your own fur-ball to pet!

Peaches and Paprika, "the real thing"

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
