Happy New Year's Eve to all...

I really am an elf!

I played an elf named Wunorose Openslae in that terrific show CCSI - The Christmas Caper. See, that's me down in the right corner in my elf costume. If you haven't seen it yet, Sassy has the whole show over at the CCSI Blog.
~~~~~
Well, much to my surprise
my Lap Lady brought home a real elf costume for me!
I thought that there was no way
that I would be wearing an elf costume at home.
But I really didn't mind it at all! Oops, my hat fell off... My Lap Lady also brought home a Santa cape and hat. That hat I didn't much care for but the cape is kind of nice. There are pretty white fluffy balls on the end of the ribbons which were rather fun to play with! It's time for the Carnival of the Cats and it's being hosted by the King of the Carnival of the Cats, Laurence Simon. This will be his final time so make sure to check it out here.

Weekend Cat Blogging is over at the Tuxedo Gang's Hideout and hosted by Samantha Black and Tigger.

Merry Christmas!

Secret Paws from Forty Paws!

My Secret Paws came from Forty Paws a few days ago.
Look at how big this box is...It smells good.
Let me try to get in to see what smells so good. Maybe if I put the bitey on it... I think that I need help pulling my presents out.
Lap Lady, Help Me!!! OK, now I know what smelled so good...
Hooray, it's a catnip nanner!!!
I had a catnip cigar before but I've never had a catnip nanner before!
And Temptations too!!!!
I've had Temptations and know that I love them!Hey, Willow that's my catnip nanner... Well, that's alright, you can sniff it too
but I'm watching you...These white things were in my box too.
I wonder what they are??? Oh, Look!!!! It's a cat hammock for me!
I'm going to climb right up on it with my new toys... Hey, this is very soft and comfortable... This is a terrific place to enjoy my new nanner!
It even tastes delicious! Here's the card from Forty Paws!
Everycat signed it - there's Bow, Jenny, Sally, Reno, Smokey,
Annie, G.T., Gatsbi, Dorf and Obi!
~~~~~
Thank you so much for all the great gifts!I really love every single present
and now I think I'm worn out and will just sneak a little nap here!

I've Been Good...

I found this hat while we were packing up our Secret Paws.
See, Santa Claws, it says that I have been good! Willow and I are here dreaming of all the things
that Santa might bring to us.
Thank you to Ann from Zoolatry for making
this lovely picture for us!

Thanks on Thursday

Today I was so excited
when Willow told me that WE had some mail to open.
It's not Secret Paws but it is something very special.
~~~~~
My Lap Lady surprised us and let us open up a package
that had a Holiday Gizzy in it!
She bought from Mom Lynne and Millie -- For Us!
~~~~~
It has been hiding in her closet since September;
that's when the limited edition of Holiday Gizzies went on sale.
I really wanted one but thought she forgot to order us one
and that we would have to wait until next year.
Also in the package was a Christmas Nip Ravioli
that Mom Robyn (from HotMBC) made with some Primo Nip!
~~~~~
Today I made a slide strip of us
with our brand new Christmas Gizzy and Nip Ravioli!
~~~~~
Willow and I also received our very first Christmas Card ever
from Mom Laura, Mu Shue and Lilly Lu!
I'm afraid I was sidetracked but if you go visit Willow
you can see her reading our Christmas Card!

Tuesday Toys and Toes

Toys, toys, toys...
I was sitting in the midst of some of my toys.
Not playing, just sitting... But I don't feel like photoshoots right now...
You can look at my little toes as I leave!

BKCFOC Theme: Toys or Boxes

Well, it's time for the Bad Kitty Cats Festival of Chaos!
It's hosted this week by Samantha and Tigger
at Life From a Cat's Perspective.
~~~~~
The theme includes two of my very favorite things:
Toys or Boxes!
I didn't have to choose because when I walked into the family room
I found two new boxes - just sitting there!

So I jumped right into this big round box.
My Lap Lady left it on the floor and I can only assume
that it was left here for me.
She knows that I love to curl up and sleep in round spaces. Oh, wait, there's another box over here.
It's not round but it looks nice. Willow checked it out already. I don't think that I will be able to get out if I climb in here...

Sunday Snoozing

It's Sunday afternoon and my Lap Lady should be sitting with me
watching her football guys, the Rams.
But she is busy getting ready for Christmas.
~~~~~
Oh, she is still watching the football game
but she won't sit down with me.
So, I guess I'll just snooze here with one of the Rams blankets.
Maybe if they win, my Lap Lady will be so happy
she'll let me sit on her lap!
~~~~~
Go Rams!
~~~~~
Later tonight, when I get some lap time for sure,
we'll be visiting Zed Monster & the Bad Kitty Cats
who are hosting today's Carnival of the Cats!

Thankful Thursday

It's time for my Thankful Thursday post.
Today it is in the 30's and outside it is sometimes sleet, sometimes freezing rain and sometimes snow. I am ever so thankful to be an indoor kitty with lots of nice blankets and a soft bed to snuggle in. My Lap Lady even covered me up with the Hello Kitty robe. And if you look really close you can see my peachy-tan nose. Yesterday I was thankful that I was able to attend Miss Peach's Tea Party. She had a lovely party and when we left, we were all given a beautiful golden rose. Miss Peach said:

These are magic roses, and if you put your rose in water overnight, there will be six roses there in the morning for you to share with who ever you think has a PEACHY HEART OF GOLD.

My hope is that this golden rose will be on each blog in the Blogosphere!

Thank you, Miss Peach and Happy Birthday to Momma Karla

Raising my paw for the Humane Society of Missouri

Gaius, I am raising my paw for the Humane Society of Missouri.
It was in Maryland Heights where my sister-cat Samantha became ashes
when she went to the Bridge and
that's where my Lap Lady found my new sister-cat, Willow.
The staff of the Humane Society was wonderful!
~~~~~
First of all they cared about the grief of losing Samantha.
And then when my Lap Lady saw Willow, who was just a kitten at the time,
she was told about Willow's family and how she was a foster kitten,
along with her two siblings.
They were both adopted right before my Lap Lady found my forever sister-cat, Willow.

Wordless Wednesday

BKCFOC Theme: Ears or Whiskers

The theme for this weeks edition
of the Bad Kitty Cats Festival of Chaos
is ears or whiskers.
~~~~~
I thought that with a profile shot I could show off
my ears, whiskers and eyelashes too!
They particularly show up quite well
with the black kitty cat on the bag there
to highlight their whiteness! Today's Festival is being hosted by Mog
over at Mind of Mog - visitors are always welcome!
The Carnival of Cats is also today
but in the process of being relocated
and right now I can't find out who the new host will be...
~~~~~
UPDATE: The Carnival was graciously hosted
at This, That and the Other Thing
by Mouse, Indigo, Kosmo and Amber!
~~~~~
Thanks to Astrid, Kashim & Othello for the new festival graphics!

Remembering Kallie

I just heard some sad news this morning
that Jeter and Mickey lost their sister, Kallie.
She lived at their house for 17 1/2 years
and was a very much loved and special cat.
Here is my candle for Kallie:

Snoopervising the Soup...

I'm just snoopervising
the preparations for Turkey Noodle Soup!

Happy Thanksgiving!

I hope that everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving today!
And a wonderful day to those who are not celebrating Thanksgiving!
~~~~~
I am very thankful for all of the friends I've met
through the Cat Blogosphere!

Wonderful Wednesday

In October Willow and I, along with Dragonheart,
won Samantha & Tigger's 10,000th Comment Contest.
~~~~~
We received a prize package quite a while ago
but my Lap Lady just let us open it.
What fun for us!
~~~~~
~~~~~
Thank you so much Samantha, Tigger and your mom!
I love everything and had so much fun!

My Furry-er Tummy Tuesday

Tummy Tuesday and just look at my tummy...
My fur is growing back!
~~~~~
My vet thought that I may have had some anxiety and issues
so that I was pulling out tummy fur.
I believe that I just enjoyed grooming to excess... This is what it looked like in March 2007...
a bit spotchy and very pink. And here, also in March 2007, I had hardly any tummy fur.
But I do think that my toes are cute all stretched out here!

BKC: On Purpose or By Accident?

OK, if you want to know if I did this on purpose or on accident,
it was definitely on purpose!
~~~~~
My Lap Lady washed and dried the totally snuggly Rams blanket
before the game today and once it was in that laundry basket
I just did a huge leap right into it!
~~~~~
Who could possibly resist a fresh-out-of-the-dryer
furry fuzzy Rams blanket!?!?!?!?
~~~~~And don't forget...

And don't forget,
Weekend Cat Blogging is at Paulchen's Food Blog,
the Bad Kitty Cats Festival of Chaos is being hosted
by Kashim & Othello at The Catboys Realm and
Carnival of the Cats is over at Pet's Garden Blog.
