ppss: The banner is our second group shot and all 1-100 members should be in the photo. It was hard herding all of you in one place. Some of you kept running around and catching all the field mice and bopping them on the heads. So if you were missing when the photo was taken you might have been missed so let me know and I will see that you join the group.

Could It Be?

Wondering ~ Hoping ~ Could It Be~Is It possible?!

I have been working away at the Tabby Cat Club, the largest and most active club in the blogosphere, trying to recruit new members because my goal is to reach 100 before your anniversary. I even reached out and have three members out there scouting for tabby kitties to join the club, Willow, Dexter, and Clementine.

The Tabby Cat Club's first post was on 11 November 2011 and our first event was posted on 18 November 2011. Oh, how neat it would be if we could have 100 members in our club to celebrate our second anniversary at the club. I have been hoping that this goal could be reached as I would plan something very special for all the founding members, the first 100 members, of the Tabby Cat Club!

I think about the 100 membership tabbies all the time . . . play time . . . lunch time . . . treat time . . . naptime . . . and at bedtime. We are so close to reaching our goal, needing only two more members . . . how pawsome would that be if we had 100 members in time to celebrate our anniversary?!

. . . I feel it . . . I can tell . . . stop back on the 30th . . . there will be a BIG SURPRISE!

time to celebrate!

Hey all!  Nissy here...

I published my 200th blog post today and I'm celebrating over on Nerissa's Life.  Yoo-hoo!  YOO-HOO!!!

BRING ON THE NIP!  Not to mention the bling.  Purrs.

Good Morning, Rocky!

Here's a photo of my brother Rocky enjoying his morning sun puddle and welcoming Autumn 2013!

My Mousebreath Interview!

Kitties!  I was featured in the latest interview by the Funny Farmer Felines on Mousebreath!

 I get to display this on our side bar!

What a thrilling couple days it has been!  We hit 500 posts on Meow Like a Pirate Day and then we were interviewed by the Funny Farmer Felines!  I hope you pop on over to meet my siblings and see what we had to say by clicking here.

If this wasn't enough excitement, I expect to have an intriguing week next week, when we have our very first ever guest.  Its Layla from Cat Wisdom 101 who will be teaching us all about Animal Communication!  Here's everyone's chance to try their hand at helping their furry problem child out.

Purrs,

Silver's Pirate Day

Hey guys! Argh.... Guys!
 Mom decided to put me on this pirate ship for fun! And... Hm.... NOPE! It was scary as hell. So, this is Halloween for humans, huh? And this is fun? I think we have very different definition of fun.

It was so crowded you can barely see where I am. It's like where's Waldo? But Silver version.

Alright, I'm outta here! I need to find my kitty furends for Pirate Day! Come see me at the I Love Silver Meow!

Look at my tattoos! Happy Pirate Day! Argh...

Oui Oui Meowin' Like a Pirate

Ahoy me mateys!

Aye, we buckos at TwinkletoeTails have an excitin' announcement!

Arrr, that's right, this be our 500th post!  Ye can blow us down we done so many!  So drop anchor, grab some grub and grog, and purrhaps a saucy wench or two, then here's to being three sheets to the wind.

Dead Eye Julie be grabbin' her cutlass and invites all the scurvy fightin' dogs to join her on the poop deck for some all out mayhem and swashbucklin' fun.  While Jack Tar Carl asks all the poxy salts to meet him on the plank for a little game of chick-hen.

Cap'n Oui Oui be leadin' chanteys and Quartermaster Mica Moo is no where to be found!

Curse that hag, the mom, fer buying a cannon!

A Natural Pet Company Product Review

Recently we were contacted by the good people at The Natural Pet Company wanting to know if we would like review some of their products, including their 100% All Natural Catnip. 

 

 

A chance to get free 'nip??? Yeah, we could not get Mommy to type the word yes fast enough!!

 

Callie:  I love this stuff!  Would calling it heaven in a bag be too over the top?  I enjoyed this stuff so much, I decided to do a song about it, even though it is not Friday.  This song was originally sung by The Black Eye Peas called "My Humps" (written by will.i.am.). But who cares about a silly ol' human song?  My song is called "My 'Nip!"

 

 

What you gon' do with all that ‘nip?

All that ‘nip inside that bag?

 I'ma get, get, get, get, that ‘nip,

Get me some Natural Pet ‘nip.

My ‘nip, my ‘nip, my ’nip,

my ‘nip, my ‘nip,

My ‘nip, my ‘nip, my ‘nip,

my lovely bag of ‘nip (Check it out)

 

I drive sisfur Sassy crazy,

I do it on the daily,

She treat me really mean………..

Sassy:  Okay, I am going to stop this and give my review before everyone's ears start bleeding.  My review is a little mixed.  While I LOVED this stuff, I do have to consider that it resulted in me having to listen to the Spotted Airhead sing and it is not even Friday.....on the other paw....it was some really great chit...oh, well, you know what they say, if you have had some really good nip, you might as well join them!

 

 

 

What you gon' do with all that ‘nip?

All that ‘nip inside that bag?

 I'ma get, get, get, get, that ‘nip,

Get me some Natural Pet ‘nip.

My ‘nip, my ‘nip, my ’nip,

Exciting News at Our House

Hi Everybuddy!  It's me, Moosey!

I was talking with Gracie and Raz about some very exciting things that happened on Friday here at my house, and they both thought I should share them with the Tabby Cat Club.  Some of you may have already heard them, so I apologize if you have, but we're so, so excited that we are practically bursting at the seams!

The first thing happened at 5:00 PM EST, when we found out that Animal Shelter Volunteer Life had won the "Best Cause-Related Blog" category of the 2013 Petties Awards.  We were all pretty shocked that our little bloggie, about the cats at the shelter where I came from (and where Mommy and Daddy volunteer) received such a prestigious honor.  And we were super excited that it means PAWS will get a $1,000 donation.  That will help lots of kitties (and woofies, too)!  We got a nice badge for our bloggie (see below) and we - even Mommy and Daddy and the shelter staff and other volunteers - all did the happy dance.  Thank you, everybuddy who voted for us - we couldn't have possibly won without your love and support. :)

The funny thing is, the most exciting news was still to come!  About an hour after finding out about the Petties, Mommy and Daddy went to PAWS to ... wait for it ... pick up my new sisfurs!  Even though they are not tabbies, they are beautiful and sweet and pawsome, all rolled up into one!  Their names are Gracie (how's THAT for a great name?) and Zoe, and they are house panther sisters who have been waiting for a new home for three whole years.  That's a long time, but now their wait is over, and they have come to live with us!  I'm sure that my Angel brofur Sammy guided them to us.  I have met them through the baby gates set up in the door to their room (which used to be MY room when Mommy and Daddy first adoperated me).  Zoe, Gracie and I are all cautious, but we didn't hiss or growl or anything.  I think I am going to like having sisfurs!  Here are their pictures,  Aren't they pretty?

Gracie

Zoe

So that all made for a pretty exciting start to the weekend, wouldn't you say?  I hope you all had a good weekend, too!

Hugs and headbonks,

Moosey
