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?

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

Moosey's dream vacation :)

Mommy and Daddy enjoyed Paris very much, and said they met some very nice cats there.  So if I could, I would take my brofur Sammy, Mommy and Daddy on a Paris vacation.  This would be us in front of the Eiffel Tower (and our dad would be taking the picture, of course)!

Have a great day, everybuddy!

Love,

Moosey

Celebrating the 4th - Moosey :)

Hi Everybuddy!  It's me, Moosey! :)

Me and my brofur Sammy are going to celebrate the Fourth by watching some fireworks, waving the flag, and spending the day with our Mom and Dad.  We're also celebrating our (dad's) Auntie K., who we love so very much.  She's currently in the hospital, but making good progress.  Please send purrs, prayers, and lots of positive energy.  Fanks!

Happy Independence Day!

The Purrfect Gift for Mom and Dad

Hi Everybuddy.  It's me, Moosey!

My mom and dad always give me and my brother Sammy lots of snuggles and smooches, and tell us that we are the bestest gifts they've ever received.  So I'd say our "purrfect" present for them would look something like this:

Kind of a tight fit in here.  Maybe we can take turns next time!

Have a great day, friends!

Hugs,

Moosey

Happy Cinco de Mayo from Moosey

Hola, amigos!  It's me, Senor Moosey (and my brother, Senor Sammy), wishing you an excellent Cinco de Mayo.  Is anybody else up for some tuna tacos, nip nachos and MEOWgaritas? :)

Brothers and sisfurs



Our mum aka kitten climbing frame and feeding station

As far as brothers and sisfurs are concerned, I am an only cat nowadays. But - a year ago I did have siblings – 2 girls and 2 boys, as I was living at a Cats Protection League foster home awaiting homing. We used to have a great time, running around, play fighting, and using mum, who was called Poppy, as a climbing frame. It could get a bit rufty tufty sometimes, and sometimes it got smelly too when we all used the litter tray.  Toys were thin on the ground -  a few kitten food boxes and one or two balls.  Even now I still like to play with my own tail.

We had kitten food boxes as toys and a few small balls with bells in.

The best bit was at the end of the day when we would all snuggle up together and sleep.  All my brothers and sisfurs and our mum all went to good homes, including two others on the same day as me at exactly two months of age.  It was a big change for me to move away but I soon got used to being the only cat in a house full of humans (and a tank of tropical fish).  I do have a human child to play with, who loves me, and there are not many other cats in the area, which suits me just fine.
