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

Most of you have heard by now that the swag bag the mom got at BlogPaws was not very kitty friendly.  Yeah…too many dog treats and cleaning stuff…even puppy pee pads!  Sheesh!  The mom gave most of it away to someone who could use it.  But she did manage to pilfer some Greenies and Natural Balance foods and treats…and even a nip toy or two…from the vendors there.

Here’s most of the stuff the mom brought home.  Uh…thanks for the photobomb, Ernie.  ::rolling eyes::

One of the best things we got was our very own swag bag from Curlz and Swirlz…it’s the little gift bag in the picture.  That had all kitty stuff in it including homemade treats!  Thanks, Miss Teri!

Okay, so the swag we got from BlogPaws is on the weak side, but we’re gonna do a little giveaway anyway.  Everybuddy who leaves a comment on this post will be entered into a random drawing to win a fun prize package that we will put together.  One comment per family or household, okay?  And everybuddy is eligible…if you don’t have a blog, make sure you leave us an email address or some other way for us to contact you if you win.  You have until 10pm (Island time) Thursday in which to comment.  Zoey, the She Devil, will announce the winner this Friday.

So comment away…and good luck!

Hey kitties…it’s me…Wally.  So the mom is home and sorta recovered from BlogPaws now.  She says the BEST thing about BlogPaws was meeting the peeps of our blogging furiends that were there, too.  We won’t mention all of them here because there were so many and we don’t wanna miss someone.

Not only did the mom meet lots of peeps, she also got to meet some kitties and woofies that were there.  Here’s just a few.  We apologize for the poor picture quality…the mom shoulda gone to the photography session that was offered at BlogPaws.

This is Disco and Coco from Curlz and Swirlz.

Hey Wally??  Is that a cat toy on Coco’s head?

Nah, Ernie…it’s a hat…but it would be fun to play with, dontcha think?

This is Norman…a French herding dog and the newest member of the Natural Balance Pet Foods team.  See that bike behind him?  He can ride it!

See?  There he goes!

I guess all that bike riding wore Norman out.

This is Odilia…a blind kitty from Tails from the Foster Kittens.  The mom says being blind sure didn’t stop Odi from having fun!  She was playing and running around and everyone loved her!

Triscuit…a foster kitty at Random Felines…charmed the pants off of everyone!

Yes!  This is a real woofie!  Doesn’t he look like a stuffed toy?  And check out the bling he’s wearing!  The mom wanted to borrow that collar!

The mom says there were lots of other woofies and kitties and ferrets and rabbits…and even baby chicks (lunch!)…at BlogPaws.

Does this mean we can go next year, Wally?

Uh…probably not, Ernie…not unless you wanna spend lots of time in the evil PTU.

NO WAY!  I’d rather stay home and have pizza!

Hey, kitties…make sure you come back tomorrow because we’re gonna have a little giveaway!

Hey, Wally…aren’t you happy the mom is home from BlogPaws?

Yeah, Ernie.  Now we’ll get fed on time

and our litterboxes will get cleaned out more than once a day.

Well, the dad guy did get us pizza…

that makes up for his failures as a cat sitter, dontcha think?

Oh yeah, Ernie…I’ll take pizza over a clean litterbox any time!!

Hey, kitties…We’ve been having innernets problems (we’re lucky we got this posted) so we don’t know when we’ll be able to get around to visit or post again.  We hope to be back online real soon!

The mom’s leaving us and heading off to BlogPaws this weekend.  Yep, she got the big suitcase out and starting filling it up.  I might try to sneak in it just for fun. 

For those of you who might not know what BlogPaws is, it’s an annual conference where pet bloggers and people in the pet industry meet and talk about what else…pets and blogging and other social media stuff!  This is the mom’s first time going, and she’s pretty excited about it.

But us…meh…not so much.  Y’know why?  Because we won’t be doing any blogging or much visiting while she’s gone.  I don’t understand why we can’t but she says she’ll be too busy to help us.  Yeah right…she’ll be busy kibitzing with some of your peeps who are going, too.

The dad-guy will be taking care of us while she’s gone…which isn’t bad because he lets us get away with all sorts of stuff…way more than the mom ever does.  And you know who usually comes to visit when the mom leaves us??

That’s right!  The Colonel!!

We’ll see you guys next week…and hopefully we’ll have some good stories to share about BlogPaws!  Unless the mom decides to invoke the rule…”What Happens at BlogPaws, Stays at BlogPaws.”  Nah, we won’t let her do that!

Kitties…I got a problem.  Y’see, I just can’t find a napping spot all to myself.  Y’know…a spot where you can stretch out and get your snooze on without interference from anybuddy else?

Here I was…on the chair…snoozing away…when Ernie…aka Mr. Big Feets…jumped up and pushed his way into my spot.

So I thought…okay…I’ll move over to the couch.  There’s a nice comfy pad there made just for snoozing.  Well, you can see what happened.   Ernie followed me and horned in on my spot…again.

Then I tried the mini-cat tree.  Yep…so did Ernie.

Upstairs on the bed?  Yep, you guessed it.

So, I made my final move to find my own napping spot.  On top of the big cat tree!  He won’t follow me up there, will he?

Oh, yes he will.  And did.  There’s 157 other great napping spots in this house and he has to have the one I got.  Is it too much to want my own napping spot without Mr. Big Feets invading every time?  I tell ya…I get no respect around here.

Hey!  What’d I do, Wally?

Aw, shut up, Ernie….

To the Mom:

In honor of Mother’s Day today, I promise to…

Not scratch the furniture

Not yak up a hairball

Not chase Zoey

Not unroll all the toilet paper and paper towels

Not steal Wally’s napping spots, and

Not beg incessantly for foods and treats.

Geez…it’s gonna be a pretty boring day for me!

Happy Mother’s Day to all the Moms!

ROAR!!

I bet you didn’t think a little ol’ kitty like me had that in her!

Hey!  Look who I found!

It’s my old friend, Mr. Leopard.

You remember him, dontcha?

I used to play with him when I was just a little kit.

Well, I found him up here on top the cat tree.  He still looks pretty much the same…but I’m a lot bigger than him now!

It’s been awhile since we’ve hung out together, so we’re gonna catch up on things…and maybe I’ll even toss him off of here…just for ol’ times sake.  I bet he’d like that.

Ernie, I don’t like the way you’re looking at me.

Too bad, Wally…I’ll look at you any way I want.

You’re asking for trouble, buddy.

Don’t do it, Ernie!

Eeeeeyaaaa!

*BOP*

Okay, that’s it, Ernie…you’re gonna get it!

Oh yeah, Wally?

Take that, Ernie!

Hey, Wally…stop it!

I’m outta here!

That’ll teach you not to bop me, Ernie!

About 10 minutes later….

That was fun, dontcha think, Wally?

Yeah, Ernie…but all that wrasslin’ is exhausting!
