Peaches Welcome Hat Ceremony


Hello everyone, Peaches here!  I want to share my totally cool HAT CEREMONY  (see below short video) with you. (For best reception click on the word "Hat Ceremony" above.)



I like to welcome my human home each night by not only greeting her but trying on her HATS!  To prove this is true, I have attached the little video (above) I helped my human make showing me trying on a blue hat, a green hat, a striped hat and a grey furry hat.  I feel a real communion with my human through her hats. she say there is scientific research on this - something about blending the scent from my fur and the hats so that we bond more? Wow!  Who knew?





You can in fact read about my HAT activities on page 185  in
Deb Barnes’ treasured book, Makin' Biscuits.  My story & those of countless other “creative cats” appear.

Re MAKIN' BISCUITS": Our human has been finding the little stories of many cats habits wonderful bedtime reading! Thanks Deb for giving us a rare glimpse into the lives of so many funny wonderful cats including your own 7 furrrballs.  We never tire of reading about their adventures.

Goofy Paprika


Good morning all, for  Caturday Art today I thought it would be fun to share the goofy picture  of Paprika for Chewy Influencer recently.  


Paprika has always been a "humorist" but this is probably her funniest pic.

Behind the photo:

 I was trying to capture a yawn this past but got this "Ha Ha Ha" instead.

2) I downloaded the green background  + hat and clover from Adobe *as part of their "first ten pictures free" special.  3) Also from Chewy.com the Greenies graphic 


Original picture of Paprika caught
at the end of a yawn.
Go Paprika!!
  
4) I did the rest in Picmonky: pulled up the green background as a "screen" and laid it over the photoUsed "fade" and erase" so you can see the photo clearly

 5) added the lettering and clip art.  


Having said all, that, a belated St Paddy day to all and may the luck of the Irish be with you this spring and always!

Happy St Catrick's Day

 Irish Blessing:

May the road rise up to meet you.
May the wind be always at your back.
May the sun rise warm upon your face,
and the rain fall soft upon your fields.
And until we meet again,
may god hold you in the hollow of his hand



Wishing you a happy & peaceful day with lots of corned beef!

About the photo;  Peaches & Paprika commune in a rare moment of comfort after return from vet visit.  Familiar ground (and a little cat kiss) at last! (Graphic by Imikimi).

Greenie Feline Dental Treats Review - #Chewyinfluencer


As a holiday treat, we BEGGED our human to review GREENIE Feline Dental Treats from Chewy.com as part of the #ChewyInfluencer program...so we could have some as soon as possible! 

We have learned they are the #1 vet-recommended dental chew which offers complete nutrition AND helps us maintain good dental care.  
Okay so  its  our human who cares about all of that. 
After all, she looks after those things like making sure keep our beautiful pointed fangs healthy.


What WE care about is that they're really yummy! 

According to what our human tells us, their unique shape and CRUNCHY texture helps reduce tartar. 

They ALSO have added vitamins, minerals, taurine & chlorophyll.  Best yet, each treat is only 1.25 calories and without articifical flavors or preservatives.Thank goodness because I need to watch my girlish waistline.

Every night after dinner we wait impatiently.. we know our human will give us 2 or 3 "treats" to help "wash down" our dinners. Yes!! Mrow.  Here you see us waiting expectantly for our nightly delight.

Our human sleeps better at night knowing she's helping our teeth while bringing us purring joy.   

We got & love the roasted chicken flavor but there are many others to give your cat variety:  Salmon, Ocean Whitefish, Beef, Tuna (Tuna!) and even CATNIP!  There is a sale on most flavors now (except catnip!) and the price is reduced to only $3.89 + tax. For that price you can buy all the flavors!!

Below, you will see Paprika (always a kidder) inviting a tooth exam.What would we do without her?


You can order Greenies Feline Dental treats through Chewy.com's website and we thoroughly recommend them!
  Your kitties will thank you for the tooth healthy treats AND the deliciousness, believe us!

Irish Blessing:  
May the road rise up to meet you.  
May the wind be always at your back.
May the sun rise warm upon your face,
 and the rain fall soft upon your fields. 
And until we meet again,
may god hold you in the hollow of his hand.


Disclaimer: 

 We were not compensated for this review.  We received a package of oven roasted chicken Greenies feline dental treats  from Chewy.com in exchange for our honest review.

SNOW DAY - Bonanza for Cats

Yesterday, as all of us on the Northeast corridor know, we had a big big big BIG storm. Human: ecstatic at staying home from work. It seemed every bird in the neighborhood was at our window or deck. "You Know Who" lost no time in taking advantage....
