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.

We Have a Winner!!

Debra, from Manx Mnews won the Tuxie slippers. After we went and saw Boo and Abby, well we're happy to send them another pair of Tuxedo friends. And although these might compete for their mom's feet, hopefully they'll leave the food bowls for the other cats.

Thank you to everyone who participated. It warms my mommie's heart meeting so many new kitties whose families are so very warm and generous. We are honored to be a part of the blog. Besides it's just so much fun!

Congratulations Debra. Mom will try to get those to you very quickly.

Love,
Tyler

Thank you Tara, Princess Meezer

Today, was a good day. I received my Secret Paws package from Tara, Princess Meezer. I can't believe that such a beautiful royal girl would be my Secret Paw gift giver. I'll show you pictures this weekend. Mom can't find the right cable to upload the pictures tonight. Almost all my sibs joined me in the fun. I could smell the royal girl's scent on the box. I think maybe her brother Kavan's smells were there too. But my favorite smell was the Temptations! As the kittens were swarming over the toys I pawed the bag of Temptations. Mom understood me right away. She opened up the bag and asked me if I felt like sharing. There's a lot of treats in one of those bags, so I said 'yes.' But I told mom to hide the treats in the closet where Jake can't find them. He already started ripping the bag apart when left alone with it for only a minute. There were play mice and a cool wand toy that Jake adopted. There's an electric toy with this feather thing that moves around on it's own. And you know what? Tara even sent me the batteries to go with the toy. Wasn't that thougtful. Okay, I want to go play with mom and eat some more Temptations, so I gotta run. Thank Princess Tara, The Meezer. You're too cool. Thanks to you and your mom for sending this to me so quickly. I'm really happy that I was the first to receive their gifts.

Will Jake Get a Visit from Santy Paws?

Jake here.

Oh boy, did I have fun last night. I found a new game.
When Mom came home from work I ran ran ran as fast as I could out the door. Oh yeah, and I shouted, "You can't catch me, I'm the Gingerhaired Boy." Mom ran out, just like I wanted her to and tried to chase me down. When she ran left, I ran right. If she ran near the tree, I ran away from the tree. It was SO MUCH FUN. Next she brought out the best treats we have, Kali's Pill Pockets! I NEVER get to eat those things. But I'm too smart for my mom. I sniffed the treat in her fingers as I ran right by. Next she brought out one of my wand toys. Oh what joy, I got to play with the wand toy all by myself, in the jungle, for a LONG time. Mom would try to get me to play near her and I would go up close for a second, but then as soon as she bent over, I ran ran ran. Mom, then told me that she was feeling very ANGRY with me. I couldn't believe my ears, she wasn't having any fun. I slowed down to listen to her feelings and allow her to pet me and then she just grabbed me by the scruff of my neck, pulled me into her arms and brought me inside. I spent the rest of the evening running to the door begging to play again. No such luck! I guess mom wants me to wait until she comes home from work again, and I can wait until then because I'm a good patient poodin.

If I'm not a good kitty, mom explained to me that Santy Paws will only bring me coal. What Mom??? Good poodins don't run outside and make their moms' chase them?? I wasn't being a good kid? But it was so much fun! Santy Paws must understand that a little boy like me likes to be amused. What? I'm suppose to listen to you? At all times?

Mom, um, could you keep this as our little secret? Does Santy Paws have to know about last night?

Our First Secret Paws

Mom mailed 5 Secret Paw gift packages out yesterday. But she forgot to let us put a note or a card inside. So 5 poor cats are going to get a package with toys and treats but no note from us saying, "Hi, Merry Christmas! My name's Tyler and I had so much fun picking out your presents..." At the last minute she scribbled my blog address next to our return address. Still Mom, I think it's rude to not include a tiny note.

Since we had 5 different packages to put together it was interesting to see how different our likes and dislikes our. Some cats love feathers, others not so much, the same went for everything from nip to stinky goodness. So I had to be very careful while buying the gifts. I had to place two orders with the Siamese Rescue Organization because we didn't order enough catnip the first time. We went to our favorite pet store just once to get the food treats.

Jake had a hard time understanding the word no as he dug out our presents from the gift bags. I think mom hurt his feelings. He thinks every toy and every snack is his. Mom had to stop the packing sessions and just play with Jake so that he wouldn't destroy what she was doing. I don't think Daisy the Curly Tailed Cat would be pleased with Jakes manners, because he doesn't have any.

Now that our SP's are in the mail. All us kitties can do is wait for our gifts to come. I wonder which of us will get their gift first? Oh mom, please go check the mailbox right now. Maybe the mailman came while you were in bed snoozing. Mooooooommmmmm! Sheesh, she's gone back to sleep. Have a great Wednesday everyone!

Jake Must Have a Death Wish

Mom here: This morning while grabbing the milk for my coffee, I noticed that Jake had poked his head into the door of the refrigerator. By the next time I turned around, it was shut and I couldn't see my orange-haired boy. So I open it up and he's standing on the bottom shelf looking out at me as if he's meant to be tonight's dinner. He had no idea of the danger he was in.

My dryer door doesn't shut properly. Instead of replacing it, I shut the door with duct tape.(I can't justify buying a new one when this one still works quite well.) Now who do you think I find snoozing in there one afternoon? I now try to tape it closed, but he still can pull it open if he wants to.

Jake is my little daredevil. I just pray that I can continue to protect him from himself.

Project HAM

When we heard about Project HAM, we went over to their website and hit that Paypal button really fast. We told our mom after she got home from work what we had done and she said "Good job kids! I can tell I've raised you right. By any chance are you all responsible for ordering the boxes and bags full of cat toys and treats that continue to arrive daily?"

Tyler: Momma, it's all Cookie's fault. She's the one who was looking over your shoulder and memorized your Paypal password.

Mom: Well I see I need to be more careful around you all. But Kitties, I have another idea of how to help Project HAM. We can auction off those brand new slippers I bought that don't fit me. These slippers are sooooooo cute. They have never been worn except to try them on to find out that they don't fit. My feet swell up sometime and I should have realized that before I bought them. They are a Women's Medium, size 8-9. The best part is that they are microwavable to leave a meowmy's toes nice and toasty in these cold months. Here's the official description:

Product Description

So anyone interested please leave your bid in the comments section. I'll close the bidding Friday December 14th at 11:59 pm PST.
