We are Katzenminze Winners!
Do you know what "KATZENMINZE" means? Well we found out today! Because we're the fortunate recipient of Bionic Basil's last month's Giveaway containing goodies of the most delectable nature imaginable. Note: there's also a slideshow about us and the goodies which you can watch HERE!
The yummies, at least many of them, are from 4 Cats Company in Germany, so in the process we learned some really cool new words:
Katzenminze = Catnip
Knuffelkissen = Hug Pillow
Krakentantacles = Octopus Tentacles
We just love that German words turn phrases into one word. But anyway we want to share some of our yummy "experiences," with you, and just a reminder (hint, hint) you can watch the slideshow HERE!
Discovery
The goodies included a leopard kick toy AND a leopard small pouch (presumably with Katzenminze in it! A hello knuffelkussen (yellow mouse with red eyes, a red & green bird "hug pillow") and more. For the human, Catwisdom101's Black Cats book, cat purse, cat stickers AND a pink leopard scarf.
Well of course I LOVE leopard so i leaped upon the kick-leopard despite paprika's objections.
What does she know?
THEN I found this adorable leopard hug-pillow & I hugged it & hugged it so much that I and it fell off the bureau! So embarrassing! Paprika claims she played with everything correctly. Stuck up!

The Red and Green Knuffelkussen
There was also a Red & Green BIRD and I thought at first it was, you know...but it smelled heavenly so it didn't matter!
Sniff |
And then the strangest thing of all emerged. It was PINK! KRAKENTENTACLES! Never heard of it! But Paprika knew all about it. I was not to see the Krakententacles (Octupus tentacles) again!
PAPRIKA STEALS KRAKENTENTACLES!
PAPRIKA: Just what I wanted! Octopus tentacles. They are an enticing pink rubber and I couldn't resist. I sniffed, was enraptured, grabbed, pulled, and Peaches was not to see the tentacles again. I HID them! (Confession: there was a yellow mouse with red eyes that I also hid. You'll notice it was NOT in the picture.)
The Pink Leopard Scarf (Peaches' Report)
Okay so I knew the scarf was intended for the human. But what's hers is mine, right? How could she possibly look half as ravishing in that scarf as I do? So I tried it on and and found that as I suspected, it is purrfect for me. Sorry, human.
And now I'm off to take a nap! Pawleez do not disturb while I'm enjoying the pink leopard scarf!
