We Celebrate World Teacher Day teaching "How to Control Your Human"

 Today, October 6, on World Teacher Day, we decided to share out knowledge of human beings by becoming CAT TEACHERS of the day. No reason cats cannot celebrate this holiday.  Check it out..we already have a class of enthusiastic feline students!

Due to the popularity of our subject, the audience became unruly when we went to take a restroom break!

Finally we returned to an impatient and ever-increasing group of feline students who did not look pleased with the delay. A couple were really grouchy They ALL wanted to learn "How to Control the Human!"

I Paprika began the first lesson.Our teaching efforts began with an overview of various "control techniques.  One of them is called "The LOOK." We demonstrated ways to let humans know when they've done something we don't like. For instance: paying attention to things other than US.

We were pleased to have an audience who hung on our every MEOW.

Of course Peaches got alittle over-involved and started bragging about our attendance level.  Altough I began the lessons, she takes all the credit.  Listen, Peaches, World Teacher Day is not all about YOU! -- Paprika the cat

Next we're going to teach them some little tricks we've learned like a DEMO of how to roll over on your back and charm them. into doing your bidding.  Stay tuned....there's lots more to learn!

We're joining a couple of hops this weekend like Athena and Marie's Creative Caturday hop and The Cat on My Head's Sunday hop and...well who knows?    We've got to spread the word about our cat classes...

Fur-balls, Walk The Plank! (Meow Like a Pirate Day)

 

FURBALLS...WALK THE PLANK! Pirate Peaches here. It seems our human has taken this PIRATES holiday to heart and once again, I must assume a leadership room. IF so, BEGONE, I say to all fur-balls other than myself...I Advised them to WALK THE PLANK! Looks like they're all obeying me...But do you think I might have been too hasty? -- signed, "Pirate Peaches"

Meanwhilw qw have lots to say about ORANGE CATS!  After all we ARE part orange!

Our human said NO but we are persevering...

However, I, Peaches, maintain there is no use for my sis-fur to dream of orange cats.  How can she compete against ME???

On this historic "orange" day we are joining CAT ON MY HEAD's hop...can't wait to see more "Gingers!"

Happy EAT-A-PEACH Day - but don't take a bite outa ME!

Peaches the cat here. Admittedly I have cause for concern. Peach Cobbler day and Peach Ice Cream Days are one thing. EAT A PEACH DAY which is today, August 22 is another situation together! All I can say is...no one better take a bite outa ME, Peaches the cat! Signed, the one and only PEACHES PS: If you don't hear from me again, you'll know someone took this holiday too literally. PPSMy sis-fur Paprika says I'm being silly but I don't know about that.... 

Peaches and Paprika become Lions - Celebrate World Lion Day

 

Our human thought it was Oh so cute to get us these lion costumes she saw on the internet so we could celebrate World Lion Day. It's today, August 10, when these awesome majestic creatures are honored. We TOLD her we were tigers not lions, but she urged us to get into the spirit of the day! So we are! QUEENS OF THE JUNGLE! Are there any Jungle Queens in your household?

We posted this in a prior year but our human could not resist celebrating the day!

We are joining Athena and Marie's Caturday Art Hop today, hoping to meet up with other little lions!

Peaches celebrates Tummy Tuesday at Dinner Table

I was peacefully resting in the kitchen knowing my human would soon prepare dinner when I was rudely disturbed. It was my human who announced she was preparing the area for guests.

Well she found me. And had the nerve to ask me to vacate the space!!!!   Unbelievable...

She then thoughtlessly tried to clear the spaces around me. I performed acrobatics to get attention! That's what it's all about, right?

Apparently my gyrations did NOT impress my human and she became sarcastic!

Well, what do you think?    After all, if she's setting the table doesn't she need my company? And any cat with a beautiful tummy like mine needs to give it AIR & Exposure.  I was keeping her company!   Isn't this outrageous for her to try and UPROOT me from a comfortable space?

Winners of National Paper Bag Day Contest (5 more cats)

 On July 12, NATIONAL PAPER BAG DAY, we held a Paper Bag contest amongst our Facebook friends.  

Each cat had to submit herself/himself INSIDE a paper bag. Despite some outlaw cats not following the rules, here are our talented winners!

2nd place was a another tie between the lovely "Callie" and "Paper Bag Pixel"

Our beautiful 3rd place winner was newcomer Elfie.  What a beautiful gal and so purr-fectly situated in that bag!

Not all cats followed the rules! (which were that you must be IN the bag!  Outlier actions:

1) Sometimes you could see a bag and no identifiable cat

2) Sometimes you could see a cat "investigating" a bag or sitting atop it.  Not going to work, guys!

3) the most blatant offenders showed themselves sitting in something OTHER than a paper bag. One even chose a briefcase, can you believe?

It's not easy running these little contests and parades, but we think everyone had a lot of fun. (believe it or not, there were many cats NOT liking paper bags!

We are trying to show above a couple of videos relating to the event.  Wish us luck we'll need it with Mom Carol's ancient computer!

We are joining The Cat On My Head's Sunday Hop today!

Happy National Paper Bag Day - A bonanza for cats!

Hello all.  Much to our delight, we learned of a special day made just for cats.  Well maybe that wasn't the original intent, but we can't think of a more handy, cheap and delicious invention.

we love to get in them, look in them, hide in them, crumple them, make them get noisy and push them around.  They make most attractive ornaments too, don't you think!

We decided to have a paper bag parade on our social media page today.  We'll see what happens and report back!

  Meanwhile, enjoy the pix of US...enjoying OUR paper bags!

I tried to look extra cute here....cuz I'd love to stay in this bag a long long time! 

-- Paprika

Bags are actually my specialty.  NOt all cats are adept as I am with them or can choose the colors so wisely!

I have another saying which has served me well...

Do you agree?

Bloggers Catriotic Slideshow - 2019 4th of July

 blast from the past! Blogger slideshow from 2019,  Sadly, many of these kitty's are no longer with us...but oh, the memories! 

MY DREAM BOX - for International Box Day!

 Thanks to Ann of Zoolatry for organizing this important day.  It brings back fun memories...when we were brand new blogger kitties, we got to "star" in an International Box Day event...we'll try to find the graphic and post it...

Well today I d decided to share one of my favorite boxes...MY DREAM BOX!  Isn't it beautiful?  What do I dram about in this box?  Well, there's tuna...and thinking of sunny windows...memories of catnip...I wasn't always so comfy...I try to forget my shelter days and my dream box helps me do that! Love, Paprika the cat

PEACHES THE CAT HERE.  I have a different opinion about boxes.   I think a box is where one should creative and experiment with different positions.  check on my "moves" below.  My sis-fur Paprika should be more inventive - like me! 

-- Peaches the cat

HOW about This position?

Or THIS one?

But BOTH. of us have fond memories of our very FIRST box day way back when...Ann of Zoolatry kindly put us in the graphic...made us feel part of the community...BUT...we had to share the scene with a D-O-G!  (Luke). (We DID get to know him later and found him courteous and well mannered...)

Ah, such memories of box day...thanks to Ann.  We still ADORE this picture!

Love, Peaches and Paprika

Happy Kitty Dad Day!

 This year we did our first "Kitty Dad" Slideshow to honor those gentlemen who love their fur-balls, cuddle and care for them.  We wish we had included more Dads, as kitties and dads are no longer with us....

Of course Mom Carol could not resist putting tighter one of her artsy cartoons - again featuring "OTHER CATS..."  5 men and 11 cats!  By sheer purrr-severehce I was able to purrr-suade my stubborn human to include me, ME, Peaches and my little sis-fur Paprika in the cartoon...after all...who is this blog ABOUT?

I'll give you a hint...US!

That's Paprika sitting on the lap of someone she never met before while I have the place of honor in the middle of the room (even though I did have to sit on the floor). I am pleased I was able to give commentary on the cartoon as it made me feel part of things.  Even though I was a little sarcastic. (ME?)

But anyway we hope you'll watch our Kitty Dad slideshow...these dads are really touching!

Love to all of you dads today!

Peaches and Paprika.

we will be joining you know who on their Sunday blog shop!

National Hairstylist Day Kitties

x

April 30 is Hairstylist Appreciation Day and it's our chance to be real beauty queens at last.  No matter how nice one's "do" is, it's great to have a little CHANGE!

Our human likes to include a few of our facebook friends in the slideshow she creates (we'd rather it just be US) and she was adamant in showing you the slideshow she created and a few of the, purr-ticipants.  There will be a little voting next week and a blue ribbon MAY be given.  

We'll list just 3 of the contestants

and we're uploading the slideshow right here!

 Our own REESIE will be in the parade, altho we had to shorten the deadline due to computer repair so she's not in the slideshow. But here she is below + other "furrrriends..."

We are joining The Cat On My Head today for the SUNDAY HOP!

Easter Celebrations and Guest Artist

 We agreed with our human that WE would be the starring characters on her Easter Post.  This was not easy since she is easily distracted and sometimes observes (and even CREATES) other cats.  Can you BELIEVE it?  But we got her to keep it down to a minimum today.  Here is an idyllic shot of us resting up for Easter, posted earlier in the week.

THE PURPLE BASKET TEMPTATION

I, Paprika, was tempted by a mouthwatering purple basket.  I could not resist.  However, Peaches thought it was a TRAP so I didn’t stay long...

But it turned out to be a TRICK!  Peaches just wanted the purple basket for herself.

Our Human, tiring of our basket ins and outs, turned her attention to “other cats” - again! And made THIS little fantasy picture!

We thought they would be CHICKENS.  What do we do NOW?

Then she created a SLIDESHOW of our Facebook friends.  Of course we DID star in the show.  If you’d like to watch an abbreviated version, here it is (pardon the low resolution)

One last Easter thing she did:  she fell in love with a fellow artists artwork of a whole BOX of  Easter eggs from which...you guessed it...KITTENS emerged! ...is there no end to people’s imagination..It’s called “A Sweet Surprise” - by colleague Andy Gambino. His online link is right below the picture.

Andy’s link on Fine Art America site

We think it’s time to take...you guessed it, a NAP...until the excitement’s over...

ZZZZZZZ....

We are joining The Cat on My Head’s Sunday hop today. Happy Easter to all!
