Keeping Grandpa's Blankie Warm

Meows from Mudpie!

Grandpa will be discharged from the hospital on Thursday and needs to go to rehab for awhile. This is the blankie he covers up with in the living room, and I've volunteered to keep it warm for him while he's gone. I'm a helper kitty.

Spying on the Neighbors Again #SundaySelfie

Meows from Mudpie!

On Friday morning our neighbor had fiber internet installed, and I watched the whole thing! I don't think the guys knew they had a feline snoopervisor, but I needed to make sure they did a good job. 


 We're joining our friends at The Cat On My Head for the Sunday Selfies blog hop!

Caturday Art

Meows from Mudpie! 

Today is National Devil Dog Day, so we thought it might be fun to ask AI to show us a tortie eating a Devil Dog. We wondered if AI would know that a Devil Dog is a yummy pastry, or would it depict a kitty eating a devilish-looking dog? With AI, ya never know! 

This is what we got. It looks more like the cat is eating a chili dog, but it sure is cute!

And now our weekly answers (all answered by Mommy this week) for the Friendly Fill-Ins challenge, hosted by 15andmeowing and Four-Legged Furballs!

1. I find foul language offensive.

2. Paid Viewpoint is a good way to make some extra cash. I've never joined any survey sites because usually you have to jump through hoops to get paid, but I signed up with this one because they pay you for your time even if you don't end up qualifying for a particular survey. It's kind of fun, takes very little time, and in just 2 weeks I've made $40! It paid for a stock up of Mudpie's squeezies and Mo's Fancy Feast!  

3. Not much makes me feel like I can accomplish anything. It's all I can do to get done what absolutely needs to get done.

4. I could see myself naming a cat or dog Conway.

More Purrs Needed #PetPhotoFails

Meows from Mudpie!

Thank you for joining us for this month's edition of the Pet Photo Fails blog hop! We have some bad news to report at our house once again - my Grandpa took another tumble on Wednesday afternoon, fractured his hip, and yesterday had a partial hip replacement. The surgery went well, now comes the recovery...


In my blooper this month I'm giving our current situation a big ol' blurry raspberry...


That's my photo fail...let's see yours!

Mother's Day Gift Ideas for Cat Moms from Etsy

Meows from Mudpie!

Can you believe Mother's Day is less than 3 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 "cats books and coffee" mug the most (although one of the hair clips is a tortie!) 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!

National Record Store Day #CaturdayArt

Meows from Mudpie!

Mommy might have a new addiction. On Thursday the new Meta AI rolled out on Facebook. She hasn't had much luck with the various AI programs she's tried, but she didn't have any trouble with this one. She started giving it all kinds of cat-related prompts and has been having so much fun with the results!

Since today is National Record Store Day she asked it for a tortoiseshell cat in a record store, and this is what we got. We love it! (And while much of the world is talking about Taylor Swift's new record, Mommy is super excited about the first full-length album by Twitty & Lynn (Conway's grandson and Loretta's granddaughter), available today!)

And now our weekly answers (all answered by Mommy this week) for the Friendly Fill-Ins challenge, hosted by 15andmeowing and Four-Legged Furballs!

1. A remake of All in the Family would be fun, although in today's politically correct environment it wouldn't be easy to pull off.

2. My favorite cartoon character is Garfield. I can't wait for the new movie coming out next month! 

3. I wish I had better sewing skills so that I could make cat toys. I think that would be such a fun side hustle!

4. I'm proud of the progress I've made with making soup. I don't know why I always found it so intimidating. Now I'm making a new one every week! This week I made a Broccoli-Cheddar Soup from Gooseberry Patch (my favorite line of cookbooks) and it's amazing!
