Thankful Thursday

Meows from Mudpie!

This week we're thankful for our new kitchen faucet. Ours bit the dust last week (the cold water wouldn't stop running even when the faucet was turned off) and Mommy had to wait a week for our plumber to replace it. Isn't it funny the things you take for granted until they no longer work? 

Mommy had to take all the cleaning supplies out from under the sink so he would have room to hook up the new faucet, so of course I had to check out the empty space. (We're not sure what those old stains are. Must've been a water leak there at some point, long before our time!) 

Mommy often jokes that with all the water problems we have she needs to marry a plumber. Our plumber would be the right age, and he's single, but he's not a candidate because he's obviously not a cat guy. While he was here I snoopervised his work, and he never even looked at me! 

Better keep looking, Mommy!

Mother's Day Gift Ideas for Cat Moms from Etsy

Meows from Mudpie!

Can you believe Mother's Day is less than 2 weeks away??? Now that my Grandma is gone it's no longer a holiday Mommy looks forward to, so she tries to put it out of her mind. I still want to treat her to something special though.

While browing Etsy for the purrfect gift for Mommy, I found several things that any cat mom would love to receive on her special day...

















Which is your favorite? I think everything here would be a hit with Mommy, but she would probably love the small whisker vase the most. I'll need to figure out how many squeezies I would have to go without in order to pay for it.

I hope you enjoy my picks, and don't forget, if you find something here you like and make a purchase using our affiliate links, I get a little money for my piggy bank! I might even spend it on Mommy's gift!

Caturday Art


Visit more artsy kitties at Athena's Caturday Art blog hop!



And now our weekly answers for the Friendly Fill-Ins challenge, hosted by 15andmeowing and Four-Legged Furballs!

1. Criticism hurts my feelings.

2. Things on my not to do list include mowing the lawn (too early in the season) and dusting (it makes me sneeze LOL).

3. Any cat tchotchke in my collection is an inanimate object that cheers me up.

4. I wish I could hire someone to shovel snow. Obviously I could, but I'm cheap, and I figure why bother with it too much when it's just going to melt anyways?

Selfies Gone Wrong & An Upcoming Surprise #PetPhotoFails

Meows from Mudpie!

Thank you for joining us for this month's edition of the Pet Photo Fails blog hop! The weather has been getting lots better the last couple weeks, and I'm spending more and more time sunning myself at the back door. 

I'm excited too because my 10th Gotcha Day is coming up this summer, and Mommy says she's working on getting me a special gift that we can enjoy together. I wonder what she's planning? I'll fill you in when I know more! 


It seems like the majority of my bloopers come while trying to take a selfie, and this month is no exception. I don't even know what the first picture is, but it was on Mommy's camera roll!   





Those are my bloopers...let's see yours!

Mudpie, Financial Advisor


Mommy: Wha'cha doing, sweetie?

Mudpie: I noticed you left this life insurance/annuity paperwork on the floor. I was just checking it out.

Mommy: What do you know about finances?

Mudpie: Nothing. I was just looking to see if I'm listed as the primary beneficiary. A girl needs to plan for the future, you know, and I have a squeezie addiction to support.

Mommy: I hate to break this to ya, but those are your Grandpa's papers, not mine. And he had these drawn up long before you were born.

Mudpie: Maybe he could redo them so I'm the primary beneficiary?

Mommy: I'll ask him...

Easter Art & Selfies



And now our weekly answers for the Friendly Fill-Ins challenge, hosted by 15andmeowing and Four-Legged Furballs...

1. My plans for Easter (or Sunday) include having a rotisserie turkey for dinner because both Mudpie and Mo love it.

2. My favorite Easter treat is jelly beans.

3. Spinach is a healthy food I genuinely enjoy.

4. 35 is an age I wouldn't mind being permanently.
