Not Cat Related, But Who Doesn't Like A Big Sale On Bling-Bling Jewelry?

Kitties - Trouble here.  This is not exactly cat related, but still.......while Mommy is confined to home recovering, I have her making bling-bling jewelry.  What girl cat doesn't like bling-bling jewelry?  I even talked her into naming her ETSY shop after me....hehehe!

A Post From Mom Brenda

Kitties – This is Mom Brenda here.  Callie and Sassy agreed to let me borrow their blog today.  I wanted to post today about something important that has happened to me lately in the hope that by posting this, other people can learn from my mistake. 

Recently, I have not blogged much because I have not been feeling well.  It was not anything specific, just minor things here and there over the last 3-4 months.  I was tired all of the time, but then again, I was not exercising much so that explained that.  Then I started having heart palpitations, but my thyroid medicine had just been changed so that made sense.  I was sweating   A LOT, but then again I live in Texas so what? 

A few weeks ago, I started having problems breathing.  I have had pneumonia a few times before in my life, so I figured, “great – this again?”  I got worse two weeks ago and went to the doctors.  They took xrays and sure enough, I had pneumonia.  I took the medicine for four days, but it just did not seem to be working……

I went back to the clinic to see if they thought the antibiotic should be changed.  They listened to my chest, and told me I needed to go to the hospital.  I reluctantly said that I guess I would drive over there later.  They informed me that no, I was going by ambulance. 

Turns out that my “pneumonia” was a minor heart attack.  I was in the hospital for almost a week. When I look at all of my symptoms put together, I had all of the classic ones.  But because I am only 51, and never had that moment you see on TV where the person grabs on to their chest and flops on the floor, heart problems just never occurred to me.  Please learn from my mistakes, it is not about age or what your current symptom is or what you saw on TV - it is about listening to your body and not making excuses!  Some of the symptoms for heart attack are heart palpitations, feeling tired all of the time, shoulder or/and arm aches (especially in women), trouble breathing which can lead to sweating and chest pain.  This is by no means a complete list, but see here is the thing,  I had every single one of these symptoms, but because I never put them together, a heart attack was the last thing I expected.   I will repeat once again because it is worth repeating:

Listen to what your body is telling you!!

We Are The Luckiest Girl Cats In The World!

Kitties - Callie and Sassy here.  For once we are working together!  We got to talking last night (in between fights) and decided that maybe since we have not been posting much, our boycat friends might be feeling neglected.  So, this post is for them. 

To the Handsome and Debonair Austin:

 

 

(notice the kitty matt on the edge of the picture that my Austin got me - I sleep on it every night)

 

 

 

For My Brave and Handsome Kozmo:

 

 

 

 

I'mmmm BAAAAACCCCKK and The Natural Pet Company Product Review

Kitties - I'MMMMM BBBBAAAACCCCCKKKK!!!!!

 

 

We have not been posting lately because Mommy has been feeling bad, sickie, ill, MEAN!  But recently we were contacted by the good people at The Natural Pet Company wanting to know if we would like review some of their products, including their 100% All Natural Catnip. 

 

 

A chance to get free 'nip??? Yeah, we could not get Mommy to type the word yes fast enough!!

 

Callie:  I love this stuff!  Would calling it heaven in a bag be too over the top?  I enjoyed this stuff so much, I decided to do a song about it, even though it is not Friday.  This song was originally sung by The Black Eye Peas called "My Humps" (written by will.i.am.). But who cares about a silly ol' human song?  My song is called "My 'Nip!"

 

 

What you gon' do with all that ‘nip?

All that ‘nip inside that bag?

 I'ma get, get, get, get, that ‘nip,

Get me some Natural Pet ‘nip.

My ‘nip, my ‘nip, my ’nip,

my ‘nip, my ‘nip,

My ‘nip, my ‘nip, my ‘nip,

my lovely bag of ‘nip (Check it out)

 

I drive sisfur Sassy crazy,

I do it on the daily,

She treat me really mean………..

Sassy:  Okay, I am going to stop this and give my review before everyone's ears start bleeding.  My review is a little mixed.  While I LOVED this stuff, I do have to consider that it resulted in me having to listen to the Spotted Airhead sing and it is not even Friday.....on the other paw....it was some really great chit...oh, well, you know what they say, if you have had some really good nip, you might as well join them!

 

 

 

What you gon' do with all that ‘nip?

All that ‘nip inside that bag?

 I'ma get, get, get, get, that ‘nip,

Get me some Natural Pet ‘nip.

My ‘nip, my ‘nip, my ’nip,

Callie Dreams About Her Sweet Ba-Boo

 

Who says cats don't smile?

I have the Best Boycat Friend EVER!!

Kitties - Sassy here.  Remember a couple of weeks ago when I was disappointed that my boycat friend was not romantic enough?  Well, I take it all back!  Yesterday my Sweet Boy, Austin sent me a wonderful package.  Here I am wondering what my Sweet Boy got me.

 

He sent me a beautiful cat sized blankie and a stuffed heart.  Here is a picture of me kissing his heart.

 

 

 

I asked Mommie to let me sleep with my Sweet Boy's gifts last night. 





 

 

Good Night Sweet Boy Austin!!

 



Sexy Ladycats of the Blogosphere: Truffle and Brulee

Kitties - Okay get ready mancats!  For this week's Sexy Ladycat post you are going to get 2 for the price of 1!  Featured this week are the ladies from Sweet Purrfections, Truffle and Brulee.  Are you ready for twice the dessert?

What makes you a sexy ladycat?  What do you think is your sexiest feature?

Truffle:  I’m a sexy ladycat because of my thick luxurious floof.  I have silver streaks interspersed throughout my white furs.  My sexiest feature is my eyes.  They are big, green, and can look into your soul with one look.  I’m also a little shy.

Brulee:  I’m a sexy ladycat because I am unique, beautiful, and a little quirky.  My sexiest feature is my “bed hair” floof and my fur horns.

Truffle

When did you first discover you were a Sexy Ladycat?

Truffle:  The first time I strolled in front of the mirror.  Plus, I was honored that the famous Rumbles asked to escort me to my 1^st birthday debutante ball last year and I knew he liked the sexy ladycats.

Brulee:  The fact that my favorite place to spend the day (and night) is in the bed!

 

Brulee

 

Describe your perfect mancat.  

Truffle:  Strong with a soft heart.  My purrfect mancat needs to appreciate the time it takes me to get beautiful each day and constantly tell me that I’m special.  He needs to be patient with my divaness!

Brulee:  Someone that likes to have fun.  I like to play and be pampered.

Truffle

How do you show a mancat you are interested?  Do you have a pickup line?

Truffle:  I’m only a year old, so I haven’t been playing the field too much.

Brulee:  I’m only a year old too, but my favorite line is “Want to have a little fun?”

What should a mancat do to impress you?

Truffle:  Bring me lots of treats and silvervine catnip.

Brulee:  Bring me lots of treats and fev-vers.

Truffle

What would be a perfect date for a mancat to take you on?

Truffle:  We’d climb to the top of a custom made cat tree in front of a big picture window and watch the squirrels, birds, and bugs outside.  He’d give me a private bath until my silver floof is glowing in the dark.  He’d feed me treats all day long and whisper sweet nothings in my ears all night long.

Brulee:  I’ve never been on a date, so I’m not quite sure what a date is.  I know my sister-before-me, Sweet Praline, was a diva of the CB and she had lots of mancats in her life.  She advises me to play the field and have fun being the Southern Belle that I am.  I know I’d like to be entertained and have fun, but I also like to snuggle when it’s time to go to bed.  I also want private baths and want to be feed delicious treats.

Brulee

Do you have a special mancat in your life?  Are you open to being contacted by the any of the many handsome mancats of the blogosphere?

Truffle:  Rumbles is a special mancat of mine.  He’s escorted me to several events, but we are not an exclusive couple.  Of course I don’t mind being contacted by any of the handsome mancats of the CB.  I plan on following the guidelines of my sister-before-me, Sweet Praline, and have lots of mancats in my life. 

Brulee:  I’m a very flirtatious ladycat and have no one special mancat in my life at this time.  I think Hammy (Rumble’s brother) has a crush on me.  Of course I don’t mind being contacted by any of the handsome mancats of the CB.  I also plan on following the guidelines of my sister-before-me, Sweet Praline, and have lots of mancats in my life. 

Truffle

 

Movies Would Be Better With Cats #1

Kitties - Sassy here.  It has occurred to me that many of the movies that humans watch would be greatly improved with cats in them.  With that, I am going to present weekly movie quotes that would be improved with cats.  Can you guess the quote?

Callie: I want some catnip!
[to Sassy]

Col. Sassy: You want catnip?

Callie: I think I'm entitled to some.

Col. Sassy: You want catnip?

Callie: I want some catnip!

Col. Sassy: You can't handle the catnip!

Okay kitties - put on your thinking caps - what movie was this quote from and who (two actors) said it?

Whoa....What a Party!!

Kitties - Callie here.  As I am sure everyone knows, Nellie of the Cat From Hell blog recently turned 15!  And boy, did my Sweet Ba-Boo, her brofur, Kozmo throw her a great party! Sassy and I are still recovering.  And don't ever let anyone tell you 15 is old - that Nellie danced everyone under the table!  She was still going strong when we left! 

Here is a picture of me before the party with my NEW tiara. 

 

And here I am afterwards

 



And I don't know exactly what happened with Sassy....I just know it involved Austin, a big catnip plant that is no more and a great-now-I-have-the-munchies Shrimp eating contest!

 



Sexy Ladycats of the Blogosphere: Milita

Kitties - This week's Sexy Ladycat of the Blogosphere is Milita of the Fur Everywhere Blog.  But mencats better be on your best behavior - this ladycat comes with a protective older brother!

What makes you a sexy ladycat?  What do you think is your sexiest feature?     I’m beautiful and confident. While all of me is sexy, I think my piercing blue Siamese eyes are my best feature.

 

When did you first discover you were a Sexy Ladycat?     I always knew I was special, but I didn’t think I realized how sexy I was until everyone who came to visit me told me how gorgeous I am.

Describe your perfect mancat.  Does your brother help introduce you to mancats?     My perfect mancat is one who loves to snuggle me; I could be hugged all day long! He would also be friendly, protective, and give mes all the attention I deserves.  My brother is very protective of me, so any mancat who wants to take me out must get his approval first. J

 

How do you show a mancat you are interested?  Do you have a pickup line?     If I’m interested in a mancat, I let him lay next to me and snuggle me. I might even offer to share some of my stinky goodies with him at dinnertime!

What should a mancat do to impress you?     He should shower me with compliments. Then he should share his noms with me. What would really impress me is if a mancat ignores all the other ladycats when he’s around me.

What would be a perfect date for a mancat to take you on?     A perfect date would include enjoying lots of yummy stinky fishes together and then gazing out at the stars while we snuggle. I miss the stars - we can’t see any from our window here in the city.

 

Do you have a special mancat in your life?  Are you open to being contacted by the any of the many handsome mancats of the blogosphere?     I don’t currently have any special mancat in my life, but I would be open to going out with any mancats who can get my brother’s approval!

 

So mencats - are you ready to brave her big brother for a date with this beautiful ladycat?

Monday Musings With Sassy: Nip vs Silvervine

Kitties - For today's musings I would like to discuss two of my favorite things in the world - 'nip and silvervine!  And of course, the eternal question:  which is best? 

There is the divine newbie - silvervine.  That sweet powder of delight. 

 

Or the old all time favorite - 'Nip.  The green leaf of joy! 

 

 





Which do I like best?  I don't know, I think I may need to do several more taste testings!

(notice the slightly unfocused eyes - clearly she has already been taste testing!)

Sexy Ladycats of the Blogosphere: Selina

Kitties - this week's Sexy Ladycat is the lovely Selina of the One Eye On The Future blog. So, mancats are you ready for this self confident, sassy Ladycat? 

What makes you a sexy ladycat?  What do you think is your sexiest feature?     Honey, it’s ALL about the ‘tude!  You gotta strut it, and believe me, I do!  If you do that, they will KNOW your sexiness.  See, mankatts (like hoomans) need to be kept interested and intrigued by you at ALL times.  Keep ‘em off balance - never have the same reaction twice.  Headbonk then RUN away!  Or flick your tail first in one direction and then another.  They’ll wonder what you’re “saying” and get closer to find out!  But I think my sexiest feature is that I’m always, always myself.  What you see with me is what you get!

 

Describe your perfect mancat.     I’m very partial to black mankitties.  There’s something very strong about them.  Plus they don’t clash with my color scheme.  MOL!  I also think that Ruddy Abysinnian boys are great eye candy, plus they’re nutty enough to keep up with me.  My perfect mankatt has GOT to be playful and active.  I’m not a “lay around” kitty and he shouldn’t be either:  don’t be like my brofur, Peppers, who just lounges around all the time.  Chase me?  Sure!  But be warned - my mankatt has to have GOOD reflexes ‘cause I might just suddenly whirl around and chase HIM!   I love a challenge.   Of course a sense of humor is very important, I don’t want to be the only one laughing!  Oh, and guys?  None of those “one-eye” jokes, OK?  Totally tasteless.  Not to mention insulting.  Remember, I see more about you with my one eye than you’d care to know.  So be nice, ok? 

 

How do you show a mancat you are interested?  Do you have a pickup line?     I love tail flicks, lightly garnished with some playful “Patented Smacky Paws” action.  Nothing crazy, mind you; just some friendly wrestling.  Maybe have him watch me bunny-kick one of DadKatt’s folded sweatshirts or something, then let him join in.  After that, I usually ignore ‘em for a few minutes. Drives ‘em NUTS, I tell ya!  No, I don’t believe in pick-up lines.  I just believe in being myself.  That ought to be enough to attract ANY mankitty and, if it isn’t, wouldn’t you agree that it’s his loss, not mine?

 

What should a mancat do to impress you?     Be a gentleman.  Don’t steal my gooshy fud (but let me have some of his).  Be a little crazy.  Keep up with me.  Meow intelligently and if you don’t have anything to say, don’t just meow for the sake of it.  A mankitty who has cool cat toys also has a natural advantage.  And again, please be sensitive about my one eye.  (And no eye patches for Xmas gifts, ok?)

 

What would be a perfect date for a mancat to take you on?     Good question!  I’m never the same cat twice, so it would really vary.  I mean, one minute I’d love a nice, quiet curl-up in a windowsill and the next minute I’m game for an intense cardio workout of “Upstairs Sprints” or those previously-mentioned bouts of beating up some hooman clothing!  Really, it depends on the mood so I guess that means that another good trait a mankitty of mine would have would be having that special intuition and insight that some have into their ladies’ moods at the moment.  Kinda like my DadKatt has with my MomKatt.

 

Do you have a special mancat in your life?  Are you open to being contacted by the any of the many handsome mancats of the blogosphere?     Alas, no one special - yet.  I’ve had several brief flirtations, and there *was* a kitty on Catster awhile back that was pretty special, but he’s not been on for some time and, besides, we were kinda “just dating” anyway, so I never really considered us “boy & girl katt” ... you know?

As for being contacted, let’s just say that, while I’m single and loving it, if the right one comes along ...  I certainly won’t say “Meow-no!”  Know what I mean?  *wink*  I DO love a mankitty with the confidence to try ........ And as MomKatt will tell you, I do love attention so ... guys?  You know where to find me!

 

Okay all you mankitties out there, wipe the drool off of your face and go to:  http://oneeyeonthefuture.blogspot.com!

Sexy Ladycats of the Blogosphere: Nellie

Kitties - this week's Sexy Ladycat of the Blogosphere is Nellie, who practically invented the term Sexy Ladycat.  All young Sexy Ladycat wanna bes - read up and learn from the expert!

What makes you a sexy ladycat?  What do you think is your sexiest feature?      What makes a lady cat sexy? It's all about NOT going out of their way to be sexy but rather when yous  just... is. Doing yoga and looking sideways into the camera (or mancat’s face), being comfortable in your own fur and doing the Alley Cat Strut is what man cat’s find irresistible.   My Sexiest feature is all of me! It isn't what I do, but how I do it. It isn't what I say, but how I say it, and how I look when I do it and say it

 

When did you first discover you were a Sexy Ladycat?     Me has always been a sexy lady cat! Me has always had the ability to wrap man cats around my paw!

Describe your perfect mancat.  Does your handsome, brave, wonderful (Callie, stop typing extra words into the questionnaire!) brother help introduce you to mancats?     Me likes a mancat who's good, but not too good - for the good die young, and Me would hates a dead one.   Me has never ever had difficulties finding man cats! At the polo games, race tracks, climbing mountains or strolling on a beach, they always appears and throws themselves at my feets! And mes always lets them knows me appreciates their company!   Mes actually does not mind the brat handsome
Sweet Ba-Boo (Callie - stop it!) too much, he has not introduced me to any man cats me would date though.

 



How do you show a mancat you are interested?  Do you have a pickup line?     Personality is the glitter that sends your little gleam across the footlights and the orchestra pit into that big black space where the audience is.    Mes don’t needs pickup lines.

What should a mancat do to impress you?     Having Spontaneity, humor, and confidence. Mes finds these in Man Cats adorable!  And Money is nice too!



 

What would be a perfect date for a mancat to take you on?     You only live once, but if you do it right, once is enough. Me enjoys doing things me has not done before!

 

 

Do you have a special mancat in your life?  Are you open to being contacted by the any of the many handsome mancats of the blogosphere?     Allred has a special place in my heart! When me is good, me is very good. But when me is bad me is better. After all, me is a cat!

 

Well it sounds like Allred is one lucky mancat!  Sorry, guys!



Monday Musings With Sassy: Mencats!

Kitties - Today's musing subject is about mencats.  Here around Casa Sassy and Callie mancat problems are in bloom!  I don't know what is going on with Callie - I mean who can keep up with her drama?  Something about Sweet Ba-Boo, ginsu knives and trout loving hussies. 

On my end, as I am sure everyone knows, I have a not so secret crush on a certain Welsh mancat.  He is handsome, brave and very witty.  Unfortunately, there is not a romantic bone in his body!  Sigh.  He even forgot to invite me to his birthday party as his date!  When I go on my much anticipated Furrari ride with Spitty I think I am going to try to talk him into conducting a "How To Be A Romantic Mancat, 101" seminar.  And to my handsome Welsh mancat.....ATTENDANCE IS MANDATORY!

In The Garden Thursday: Breast Cancer Rose Bush

Kitties - the Mommie here.  I am going a little off cat topic here, but Callie and Sassy was nice enough to give me their blog for today.  As some of you may know, my sister, Glenda passed away from breast cancer in early April, four years ago. She loved growing flowers, so when I found a rose bush for sell that the proceeds from went to Susan B. Komen Breast Cancer, it seemed like fate.  I purchased one and planted it three years ago.  For the first two years, I was a little disappointed with it - it seemed kind of blah and boring.  However, this year, right around the anniversary of Glenda's death ironically enough, it started blooming out like crazy.  Now, I am smart enough to know that this probably has more to do with the mild weather we have been having here in Dallas than anything else.  But there is also this small part of me that likes to think it is my sister saying "hey down there!"

Sexy Ladycats of the Blogosphere: DAI$Y

Kitties - Sassy here.  Welcome to the premiere Sexy Ladycats of the Blogosphere column.  Our special guest today is Ms. Dai$y of Da Tabbies of Trout Towne blog.  She has the perfect Sexy Ladycat attitude - sassy and she knows it.  I plan to throughly study this column.  I think I need to learn how to amp up my sexy, since apparently Welsh cats suffer from severe commitment issues!

Okay, mencats, sit up and pay attention - I present Sexy Ladycat Dai$y:

1. What makes you a sexy ladycat?     Gracious, that would be my entire existence as known to mankind and the entire animal population of the universe; look up beauty, grace, and elegance in the dictionary and you're sure to spot a picture of ME...dai$y, Queen of Cats, Royalty of Trout Towne.     What do you think is your sexiest feature?     Actually, that's hard to define; I don't want to say my face as then my tail floof would feel bad and I don't want to say my mane, as it sheds out in spring and summer and I miss it until fall and winter, and I don't want to say my exquisite coat, as sometimes it DOES give me grooming issues and then my paws would feel left out.......

2. When did you first discover you were a Sexy Ladycat?     The day I was born; when people and animals gathered from far and wide to admire my beauty, grace and elegance and offer congratulations to my mom and dad, on giving birth to the FABulous Miss D, and the paparazzi were scrambling to get my photo for their newscast, magazine, and newspaper.

3. Describe your perfect mancat.     The Pink Panther....I mean what gal doesn't like the color pink; well, or purple, emerald green, ruby red..... AND he's not much of a talker so I would be able to dedicate the entire conversation to ME.     Will your brofurs have to approve of any mancat you date?     Hhhhmmpppphhhh...unless the stupid boys are going to pay me $98, 388.75 or get me a life time membership to the spa.... I do as I please.

4. How do you show a mancat you are interested?     You gals know I have a 360 degree mirror set up in my room so I can gaze upon myself at my leisure... I think that just letting them see my beauty would perk up their dull and boring life! 

 

5.  Do you have a pickup line?     Yes, I walk over to the food service purrson, give her my VERY... BEST... EVIL ...Dai$y... GLARE…. and demand to be picked up and carried downstairs...oh, you mean pickup line with the mancats….well no I don’t, they tend to just fall in love with me without any words!

6. What should a mancat do to impress you?     He can start off on the right paw by stating how FABulous I am; and he should try to have a clean butt.....even though I should be able to walk side by side with him, sometimes say...you're like at the mall and it's crowded... and you have to walk single file.... who wants to look at a dirty butt...if you know what I mean.

 

7. What would be a perfect date for a mancat to take you on?     Well, I am not really allowed to date until I am 25 and I have to assume this means people years, but I have snuck out of the house on occasion and met up with some strikingly handsome boys and we've gone to the bank, jewelry store, shopping mall, spa, a fine dining establishment; once we went to a florist to see my namesake......you know...daisies......but they were nowhere NEAR as FABulous as me!

8.   Do you have a special mancat in your life?    Right now there is Cody who is brother to Sheba of Sheba's life story: http://www.shebaslifestory.com.  He is ever so handsome and we went to Mollie and Ranger's ball together...he bought me salmon, flowers...more salmon...but we have a very open relationship; why just the other day his gal pals from Cats & Co....sent him some catnip mice and catnip butterflies and that's OK.

9.  Are you open to being contacted by the any of the many handsome mancats of the blogosphere?     Certainly...here's my cell number: 1 800 324794732285687 ore 1 800 dai$y is FABulous but please remember if I don't respond immediately I MAY be gazing at myself in my mirror.

 So mencats....feel free to submit your application for Ms. Dai$y's affections below!
