Hi, my name is Kali

Hi my name is Kali. At eighteen, I'm mom's oldest living cat. She loves me the most. Don't tell the others, but I'm the only one she truly loves. The others are here to...actually I don't know why they're here. It must be some sort of error. It will be cleared up one of these days.

I was here years before that little boy Tyler came along. I"m the true top cat here. Tyler tries to get me off of my mom's lap in the evenings and I have to whap him very hard to let him know that I still rule. One would think that over all this time the boy would learn, but no, I'm afraid he isn't very bright.

I like food, I mean REAL food. I like the food off of mom's plate. And since mom often eats in front of the tv, not at the dining room table, like a dignified person, I jump right up in her face no matter what she's eating. She compalains loudly but I don't care. I talk back and then settle down on the arm of the armchair and wait until she puts her plate onto the floor, because then it's MINE, all mine.

It's been nice, but I'm overdue for my nap. Until lunchtime,
Peace, love and purrs,
Kali

Merry Christmouse!

Mommy is packing up right now to go visit my cousins. This is my cousin TYLER with his cat Chris. Can you believe we share the same name? I'm older, so I had the name first! Tyler got the idea of putting the Christmas sweater on Chris after mom showed him some of the Halloween pictures of you all online. Chris is the most mellow of cats. He actually doesn't mind the clothes or being held.

We all hope your Christmas is filled with love and playtime!

Who could have done this?

"Who has learned how to make this bag of Pounce treats a self-serve item on the menu?" asked Mom.

"I think it was Sandy Paws," chirped Tyler.

"He, he, he or maybe I should say ho, ho, ho." chuckled Jake.

Our Fourth, Fifth and Last Secret Paws

Our last Secret Paw arrived. It was for two of us, Kali, at 18 the oldest and for Sophie who stil hasn't had her first furday. It was from Lucinda and Ceasar. Cookie recognized Ceasar's name right away because he was the one she sent a Secret Paw package to last week. Does anyone know if these cats have a blog? Their name is listed together with Maximus on DMK's Secret Paw's blog, but we don't go anywhere when we click on their name.



"These presents are for Kali and me? Wow, look at the Fancy Feast, Mom!




"Thank you Lucinda. I've never tasted dried beef before and I love my new Cat Dancer!
"Hello there, Cat Dancer. Are you going to dance for me?"

"Kali, you're secret paw Ceasar got you hairball prevention goop that you love," shouted Mom.
"Moooooom, I'm sleeping!" complained Kali.
"Ok, Old Lady, hopefully won't be offended that you didn't get up to see his presents for you. Let me just tell you that he also gave you your FAVORITE stinky goodness, Fancy Feast."
"Mom, please explain to Ceasar that I only get up a couple of times a day. I will LOVE to gooble down some Fancy Feast and a little bit of goo, but just later on..."
"Ok, I know your old bones need to rest, I'm sure Ceasar will understand. May I take a picture of you sleeping?"
"Do you want me to yak in your shoes?"
"Ahhhh, you're still my spunky tortie, how sweet!" whispered Mom.
"Merry Christmas everyone!"

Cookie's Secret Paws

"Cookie, it's your turn look! A beautiful present from China Cat!" called Mom.


"Cookie, get out of bed and look at all this great loot," insisted Tyler, Jake and Sophie.


"Cookie, seriously, you can't see all the awesome presents you got from China Cat! Get your furry butt out of bed!" prodded Mom. "Mom, get that flashy box outta my eyes. That new box makes me see stars instead of my presents. I'm serious Mom, all you get is the back of my head until you get rid of that thing."



"You won't even turn around for some delicious fish flakes that China Cat sent you?" asked Mom.
"Fish flakes?!? Ohhhhhhh, ahhhhhhhhhh, I LOVE fish flakes! Thank you China Cat! Mommy, China was so generous.. She gave me so many presents, like a Christmas catnip wand toy, another wand toy with tops you can change, Christmas colored mice, a furry cute girlie mouse, a catnip birdie that squeaks and cheaps when you shake her and a sparkly ball and I think my baby sis, Sophie grabbed something else and ran before I could even see what it was ! And look for you a cute cat calendar, Kleenex for your purse with a kitten wearing a santa's hat and sticky roller to get Ty's furs off of you."

"Wow Cookie, you and I have some serious playtime ahead of us. Everyone has been so generous with the Secret Paws gifts we've received. Thank you one and all. I can't believe there are still two more of you to go."

Thank you China cat, now that it's morning Cookie is all over her gifts. I am very grateful for my gifts too.
Pounces and purrs,
Cookie and her mom

The Secret Paw Pics

Mom, this box smells so good! Are you sure Tara isn't in there somewhere?

Jake: "Look Ty, you got a cool toy over here."
"Wow, all this is for me?" pondered Tyler.
"And me?" asked Jake.
"Sure Jake, but you have to ask me before he get into the Temptations. I know you, and you could gobble down a whole bag all by yourself."

"Tyler, don't forget about us! We wanna play too!" "Okay Sisters, you can play. Just remember me when your Secret Paws arrive, ok?" "Sure, we'll share, right Sophie?" winked Cookie. "Oh, I'll share. I always share," said Sophie.

"IT"S MY TURN! LOOK EVERYCAT! And I'm not nice like Tyler, I'm NOT sharing anything. It's mine all mine."declared Jake.
"JAKE!" warned Mom.
"Ok, Mom, I'll share. You can have the snowflake ornament."
"Jake..." continued Mom.
"Oh, all right, you guys can play with my toys and my nip. Is that better, Mom?"
"Yes, My Sweet Orange-Haired Pumkin, you need to share."
"Ok,Mom."


"Look at this ball."

"Fev-vers! Thank you Katnippia Girls!"

My Secret Paws Arrived!

Jake here: My Paws came yesterday in the mail! It came all the way from FLORIDA! Can you believe that?!? I got it from some really cool cats at Katnippia. There are SEVEN of them that all live together with two woofies too. Can you believe it? I would just LOVE to have all those family members to pounce on. Wait til mommy finds her picture cable thingy. (I think might have played with it and left it...um...somewhere.) There were a squillion small blue toys. Cuz that's my favorite color. And there was a blue baby blanket which Sophie slept on last night. There was catnip and Temptations!!!! Mommy won't let me open mine, until we finish Tyler's bag from Princess Tara. There was even a present for my mommy! She loves the pretty snowflake ornament. It's very unique and beautiful. Thank you SO Much! Okay, I've got to go help mom find that cable so we can share pics of both of our Secret Paws.
