Unboxing April's CatLadyBox

The theme of April's CatLadyBox was the Orange Cats Box...here's what was inside!


Featured Cat Lady Artist:
Boris Kasyanov

Orange Cat Energy Tee:
This shirt gets 4 paws up from my sweet boy Mo!

Orange Kitten Pot:
The purrfect plant for me...it doesn't require any care and looks adorable on the kitchen counter.

Orange Cat Umbrella:
I'm not a fan of the rain so I'm in no hurry to use this, but it's super cute hanging in the hall! Love my cat umbrellas.


Billie Brain Cell, Retro Flip Phone, and Birthday Cake Catnip Toys:
As you can see above, Mudpie dove in and tackled all 3!

Velvet Orange Kitty:
I chose this as an add-on to my April box to go with my Velvet Noir Black Cat from last fall.

Run for the Roses #CaturdayArt

Meows from Mudpie, and Happy Derby Day!

Do you plan to watch the Kentucky Derby today? We will be even though Mommy watches horse races with one eye closed. She says NASCAR is her sport of choice because when the drivers crash they aren't destroyed like the poor horses are when they fall. She loves the Triple Crown races though - they're really all she watches - and she's so thankful she's now gotten to see two Triple Crowns in her lifetime. We hope it happens again, but more than anything we just pray for a safe race each year. The horses' lives are more important than any trophy. We don't usually choose a favorite but we'll be rooting for Render Judgment, Toby Keith's horse.

For my Caturday Art project this week I decided to wrap myself in a garland of roses just like the winning horse will receive.

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

1. I write with my right hand.

2. My plans for the month of May include attending a foster kitten seminar and planting my veggie garden.

3. I wonder if anyone else is as uninterested in today's so-called "celebrities" as I am?

4. Christmas in July and the arrival of Halloween decor in the stores is what I like most about summer.

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

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?
