Catnip Crazed Sweetie!

It's Sweetnesday, and we are so CHUFFED to show off our prizes for attending Parsley's 9th Birthday Rave over at Bionic Basil's Blog!

Well now, lookie what we received!

This box was FULL of stuff!
And, trust us, that tissue paper will not go to waste; cats love to play with it so!

A toy to hang over the doorknob, two packs of sticky notes, a really cool metal cat (tail for holding correspondence), and feathery wand toy, and greetings from Basil and The B Team!

A very cool nip mat, more toys, a cat pen, a stretchy cat collar and a beautiful teal breakaway collar, and a stone bracelet for ME!

Sweetie got first crack at the goodies; just look at her reaction in the video below!

She wasn't having ANY of the collars, but we'll try again.

Da Boyz will get to peruse the balance of the swag, just as soon as they wake up from their afternoon naps.

Thank you, Parsley, and the rest of the B-Team!

Two-zday

Hahahaha!

Did I fool you?

Da Boyz LURV these catnip and silvervine toys, and it's just plain cute that two black cats carry around two black cat toys!

For your viewing pleasure!

💕😻💕

Bag Cat

"Mine!"

Angel rarely jumps onto my bed, but she did when I placed a bag of newly purchased cat toys up there, and then walked away!  She dug right in, and found the catnip toy.  I quickly removed said toy for her amusement, since seeing her inside a bag made my heart leap into my throat!  No kitties were harmed in the making of this post, I assure you.

Halloween Prezzies!

🎃😺🎃😺🎃

Look what arrived from Four-Legged Furballs!

Thank you, Four-Legged Furballs!

A Halloween tote, a HUGE package of Temptations treats, two packets of cat-nip toys, and some candy that didn't make it to the photo shoot...hahaha!

Can you just imagine a photo of Manny and Chili Bruce, each playing with a black cat toy?

P.S. I am still in a week-long class, but there is plenty of downtime, surprisingly.  Am trying to visit all blogs to comment, and you all are posting great things these days!  Yay!

Happy Birthday, EP from 15 And Meowing!

Ellen is the kindest cat mama on the planet, and today is her birthday!  Over time, she's gifted Eastside Cats with multiple items, including handmade catnip mats, crocheted toys of all kinds of designs, and even shared medicinal supplies.  She helps me as a blogger too, and I want to thank her for her support, and wish her the happiest of days!  But darn her really tough jigsaw puzzles...grrr...

15 and Meowing

Images of her toys found this morning strewn about our house:

There are fish-shaped toys and lozenge ones too, only I couldn't find them!  Probably under the furniture, and stuck in corners that only cats can traverse...and are covered in dust and cat fur...

🎂😸🎈🎉

Gnawed Nip 'Nana

The cats received sturdy, catnip-filled toys last week.  Chili Bruce got the 'nana, Manny the green fishy, and Angel's was the cigar.  Great fun was had by all...

Claws and teefs!

 ...except the 'nana!  Chili Bruce broke it apart at the seam, and there was catnip all over the place.  I found some carpet thread, and made like Dr. Frankenstein.

Battered but resewn 'nana!

Manny didn't chew and bunny-kick like Chili Bruce; he kept flipping his toy in the air like a majorette, then chasing it into every nook and cranny in the house.

Manny kept throwing his nip fishy around

Angel enjoyed her nip toy, then washed up neatly afterward.

"Gotta look good!"

It was a joy to spend so much time with the kitties over the last week.  The Hubby and I are still using the parlor as Da Boyz room, when neither of us can devote 100% attention to them.  One look away, and someone is up near Angel making her upset.  But only hissing and air whappy paws; no real fighting or touching, and we feel that Angel is geting used to the two rambuctious and rude youngsters.  They appear to be curious about her, and since they wrestle and run, they figure she should do it too.  A mature ladycat like herself doesn't see it that way, of course!  We do site-swapping, and give brushies to all three with the same brush, to distribute a community cat smell.  It's been just over a month now.

Diclaimer: the toys were purchased by me, and I'm not endorsing anything!  Heck, a toy that breaks within hours is not terrific, but the other two toys are just fine so I'm giving the benefit of the doubt.
