Guess what?

Since both our previous Best Friends sponsor kitties, Loomis and Judas, have gone on to the Rainbow Bridge, Mom let us make a new sponsor-friend!
Here he is:


His name is Jinx. He was stuck in a shelter being neglected and developed skin cancer on his nose! They had to take it off. But we still think he's a very awesome Mancat.

If anyone is interested in their own sponsor kitty, you can go here for info and to pick one!

So this evening we're hanging out by the back door as usual, and Mom happened to notice us playing with something. She walked over to see what it was, and it was a THOUSAND-LEGGER. It was like 2 or 3 or 20 inches long and sooo much fun to chase!
But Mom spazzed out and threw it outside with a napkin. Things with that many legs freak her out.
So there goes our fun toy for the day. Poop. Now I'm just having to lay around doing nothing.
Like you don't LOVE to do that, Pippin.
But Mom, I'm sulking because you took away my toy. Sulky laying around and nap laying around are totally different.
Sure, Pippi. If you say so.


(At least it's almost Friday again!!)

xo-Pippin

It's finally Friday!

We're soo excited. That means that Mom will get to hang around the house with us, 'cause it's the weekend!
Plus, Turtle's birfday is Sunday-he'll be 4 whole years old!

Does anyone have any of those Catsitter DVDs or something like them? Mom's been looking into getting one for us but she isn't sure if we cats really go for them. Sisfur Ava does sit and stare at the TV sometimes, so maybe it would work.

Thanks to Daisy, we had Mom order an "I'm Tired Of Animal Cruelty" bracelet. We hate animal cruelty more than ANYTHING in the world, and half of the monies go to Best Friends, which is our favorite sanctuary/shelter to support!

Anyway, our typist (Mom) has to go to bed cause even though it's Friday, she still has to work. I call feet bedspace!

TGIF,

Blah.

Here at our house, we all have a case of the Mondays.
Even Mom, who said she so didn't feel like going to work today.
I personally think that Mondays are furry pointless and there should just be two Sundays, but Mom says then the second Sunday would be Monday. I don't get it but whatever.

Mom gave me part of my birfday present today (my birfday's not til the 22nd but I knew she had it so I gave her my Puss-In-Boots face until she let me have it.)
So Pippin and I played with it most of this evening. It had the catnips on it. Pippin is obsessed with the catnips so he hogged it. Grr.



Ava sat on the shelf above the computer monitor and stared at Mom. For a furry long time. Mom said she started to get a little uncomfortable when Ava just jumped down and walked off! She's furry weird sometimes.



So that was our Monday! Did I mention the Orange Tabbies don't like Mondays? We don't.

Happy Valentine's Day!

Remember that you don't have to have a significant other-only someone you love! So hug your loved ones right now :)

Sometimes...

Sometimes late at night I get a crazy look on my face.
And I'll look ofur Mom's shoulder at absolutely nofing for like, a few whole minutes.

Then I take off and runrunrun for a furry long time. Like 10 really long minutes. Just in circles and around things and ofur the furnitures and everywhere!
Sometimes I attack things too when I get these crazies. Like feeties. And the stairs. And drawer knobs.
Then, I jump in a chair and go to sleep for a really long time. I mean, that stuff wears you out!!!

Today I spent allll day sleeping. It was furry rainy and dreary, so it was the perfect day for that.

In other news, Mom found this amazing Etsy shop (yup, she's obsessed!) called 9 Lives Photography that sells pictures of cats in a Chicago shelter to raise money for them.
Mom bought pictures of Playdough and Ringo, and she'll probably go back for more!

Welp, back to bed for me!

We're letting Mom hijack our bloggie today since it's so important.

Hey, wonderful blogging kitties and families! I wanted to let you know about the Etsy shop set up to benefit those affected by those Australia bushfires.
For those of you that don't know, Etsy is a website where people sell their amazing handmade wares.
I've donated three pairs of earrings to the shop, and there's some really beautiful stuff there that you may like. Or if you're a crafter, sign up on Etsy and donate an item!
100% of the proceeds go to the Australian Red Cross.
The shop =Oz Bushfire Appeal
Please consider stopping by and picking yourself up something nice or donating your talent. I know the cat blogosphere is so amazing and has done some amazing things.

To Australia-

We just want you all to know we're thinking and praying for you.

We sure hope they get those fires stopped soon. That's so furry scary and we're so, so sorry for anyone who's been affected or who's scared they may be.

Hi!

This is my first time trying this bloggie thing!
So I'll just tell you a short little story.

Today my Mommy made Valentime's day cupcakes with her friends.
She said they were yummy, and I wanted to give her my opinion so I tried some.


She laughed but took it away from me. Now I'm kinda sad.

Oh well. I can prolly find somefing else to eat!

xo-Ava Grace

Also, we're furry sad to say that the awesome mancat Jake has gone to the Rainbow Bridge. We're so sorry we didn't know him better but we'll still miss him furry much.

xo-Pippin & Turtle

One more thing...

We know in the year Mom forgot there was a lot that we missed. If there's anything we need to know, friends we need to meet, whatever-please tell us? Help catch us up!

(PS-I think that's what we'll start calling it. The Year Mom Forgot. TYMF. Sounds good to me.)

xo-Pippin

Yup!

Mom really does a good job when she forgets something!

If she wants to save money all she has to do is hide it...then she promptly forgets where she put it and finds it a looong time later!

And here's Ava Grace!


Mom found her at the post office this summer and she's about 9 months now. She thinks someone just dumped Ava there. Her full name is Ava Grace #11 Jasmine (Mom's 6-year-old cousin helped name her, hence the middle names :) )

And here she is sleeping on top of me on the couch. We don't get along very much (she's VERY annoying) but she is pretty warm to sleep with!

Anyway, bedtime! Hopefully we can get mom to update this thing occasionally! If you don't hear from us for awhile, email us at starrebelle@sbcglobal.net and remind Mom that we have friends to keep up with, too!

xo-Pippin

O.M.C.

We don't know if anyone still even looks at this...Mom completely forgot about the blog even though we tried to remind her mannnnnnny times.
Anyway, we're doing okay! Mom still works all the time and we do have a new sister, Ava...otherwise, not much new to report!
If you ever want to contact us Mom says you can email her and she'll tell us. starrebelle@sbcglobal.net.
Just in case she forgets to check this blog thing :)
