The Island Cats…Every Cat wants to be an Island Cat!

I’ve been warned that tomorrow’s the 4th of July…the one day that the humans celebrate by making really loud boomers!!!  I don’t like the boomers so I’m gonna stay here safe in the confines of my hidey hole.  So, lady with the yellow hair, you’ll wanna serve me my meals over here…cuz I’m not coming out until all the craziness is over!!!

Oh yeah…the lady with the yellow hair reminded me that I was born right around this time of year so that makes me 2 years old now!  Well, I don’t remember much about being born…I think my life really began when I was gotcha’ed and brought to live on the Island.  But if having a birthday gets me some extra treats…I’m all for it!

Now if only I could get the boomers to stop….

Hi everybuddy!  Ernie here!  What excitement we’re having on the Island!  We received a Paw It Forward package all the way from Germany from our furiends, Siena and Chilli!!

Some of you may be asking what exactly Paw It Forward is.  The guide to Paw it Forward is as follows:  “The exchange focuses on doing an act of kindness without expecting anything in return other than that the recipient will, in their turn, pass the kindness along and ‘pay it forward’ in their own way.”

Okay Ernie, enough staring at the package already!  Let’s open it!!!

Look!  Siena and Chilli sent us their picture!!  They’re a couple of good looking girlcats, aren’t they, Ernie??  Now let me at that package!!

Look at all the cool stuff in here, Ernie!!

There’s some balls for whapping and toys and a catnip mousie…oh, Zoey’s gonna love that..and a Plague Rat!!  And something called Katzen-minze!!  It smells like catnip!!  Whoohoo!!!!

And look at all these treats, Wally!!!  I can’t even pronounce what they are…but this one…Käse-Rollis…smells like cheese!  Mmmmmm!!  Cheese treats!!  Hey, mom!  Go give Zoey some treats, okay??

Mmmmm!  I’m not sure what Hühnchen-Sandwich mit Käse is but it smells yummy!!!

(Zoey, that’s chicken with cheese!)

Thank you for the great Paw It Forward package, Siena and Chilli and mom Britta!!  We had our mom put your picture on the big cold box right next to our Cat Blogosphere calendar so we can see you all the time now!!!

Okay, now it’s our turn to have fun pawing it forward to the next cat or dog blogger.  We’re gonna send something fun, inspiring or uplifting to the first one who posts a comment here saying that they wanna participate in Paw It Forward.  In turn, you’ll post about this on your blog, link to us, and then send something to the first one who signs up to play along with you.  There’re no cost restraints, BUT don’t go crazy!  The little something you send can be something you made, bought, were given or found.  Maybe something unique from where you live?  And, remember that kindness doesn’t have to involve money; there’re a lot of ways to help others every single day, everywhere you go.  Keep the fun going and let us know if you wanna Paw It Forward!!!

Everyone wants to know…

What’s That Wally Doing?

In my never-ending quest to get outside…

Mom says I’m pitiful…but she still wouldn’t let me out…

And in case you’re wondering…the holes in the screen??

Yeah, they’re my handiwork!!

Oh Ernie!  This is the life, isn’t it??

Yeah, Wally…we got it good!!

Are you going over to House Panthers today??

I already was there, Wally!

Click HERE to see what I was up to!!

Hey, Ernie…did you know mom’s gonna be home all week with us??

Yeah, Wally…she sez she’s taking a staycation!

We’re gonna have some fun!!!

I dunno about that, Ernie…she’s on a cleaning frenzy today!

I think we better stay clear of her…

or else she’s gonna clean us too!!!

(Okay, boys…it’s time to vacuum!!)

Oh no!  Not the rug sucking monster!! 

Ernie!!!  RUN!!!

Hey, Wally…think I can get out this window???

I was just sitting here…taking it easy…

enjoying the scenery…

When I realized…this is our 300th post!

How ’bout that??!?

Remember my string toy??  It’s one of my favorites.

This is the movie that won me my Acatemy Award from Fin.

I thought you’d all enjoy seeing it again…

Oh yeah!  I love whapping that string toy!!

But after all that whapping,

my poor string toy ends up like this…

Guess I don’t know my own whapping strength!!

Hey lady with the yellow hair!  Come fix my string toy!

I got me some more whapping to do!!
