Carnival of the Cats # 315!

Wow! Carnival of the Cats 315....can you smell it?
The funnel cakes, the fried dough, the sausage and pizza.
I'm getting a great tummy ache just thinking about it.

Todays Carnival is featuring some great felines!!!
Let's start this party!

Over at petcarez today we got 8 fascinating cats ready for you to devour their stories....much like my mom devours some stories. All 8 cats have two things in common...one being they are all gorgeous felines, but of course what felines arent gorgeous *purr* but all theses cats also happen to have a serious thing for leather bindings!
Head on over to check it out

Professor Nikita Cat has some really great news! Nikita accepted an awesome new position, one were all quite familiar with and almost couldn't live without! With this new job I think we'll be seeing a lot more of Nikita Cat!
Head on over to find out the great news and congratulate Nikita!

Nikita Cat also wants to make sure that all us cats make sure we're known! Also Nikita wants to remind our silly beans to fill out their 2010 census...I mean we all know how forgetful and sometimes lazy they get.
So head on over and be sure to remind your beans!

Whoa...what is that in the sink? Is it a bird? A gopher? A hamster? Maybe a dog?....maybe it's Myst? Whos to know until you head over and check it out!!

Wow Mouse is really staying true to his namesake, staying in places where it's harder for people to see you. What a stinker. Head on over to mouses place to check out his latest "hidden" locations.

Those darn flashy beats never give any of us cats a break. This time a flashy beast woke Amber from a comfy place! So she's trying out a new mean face to tell the flashy....thing....to go away! Let us know how that face works out Amber so we can all try it ourselves.
Head over to check out ambers face.

Meowza sure has one fantastical blog and Nikita made sure to let him know! Check out the great surprise Meowza got!

Fresh or nasty?! Head on over to Samantha and Clemetines and sound off on what you think it is!

Meowzas mom sure is thankful for one great thing in her life! Can you guess what that is??

Cat dreams? Think its all naps, catnip and food? Think again and check out what Maddie dreams of!

Fun and games and....emery boards?! Boy I bet that would feel icky on my claws! See what fun Auduce, Grace and Ruse.

Neck scritches! Oh man hwo freaking exciting! Who's getting those neck sritches...well your gonna have to click to find out!

Phew! What a carnival! Also Carnival of the cats just celebrated their birthday! YAY COTC!! On the 22nd CotC turned 6!!!

Guess What Thursday!

Last weeks 'Guess What Thursday' was so much fun!
So Mom and I decided the format change would be permanent at least for a while!

As most of you figured out last weeks Guess What...or should I say Guess Who was

the wonderful...
DAISY THE CURLY CAT!

Great Job Everyone!!

Now for this week..

The winner of last weeks guess is a couple of good looking orange and whities that are always having a real good time out in the fields by their house. Humans say you can be rolling in the dough when you have a lot of their favorite green papers well these two are rolling in the dirt!!

....who is it?!

Happy St. Catricks

Mom got a really good surprise today. She was coming home from getting some last minute things to get ready to fly down to her native FL.
She spotted a bag between the screen door and the door.
She came in and opened it.
She recieved the St.Catricks McSkeezik shirt she won on The Cat's Meow
It really made her day and that of course made me happy.

She tried it on and it fit really good
Thank you Skeezik and Skeezik's Mom for the warning about the ringers running small...that would have been a sad day to have it not fit.
So Mom immediately threw it in the wash (she has this weird thing about wearing clothes before they are washed) so she can wear it for the rest of the day!
She also said the shirt is coming with her to the FL so she can wear it on non-st patricks day days.
Mom...your a weirdo

Le Sigh

Hi everyone Tygana here....

I know I've been complaining about the work or lack thereof the staff has been doing for me lately but I've come to tell you.....this is not the last of the lack of posting on my blog.

I told you Mom and Dad were looking for a new car...they got that so that part is done.

But Mommy.....she's going to be leaving me for TWO whole weeks! I know it's upsetting but Mommy explained the whole thing to me so I guess I can give her this...I know if it was her I would do it too.

So the Mom and I are asking the blogsphere for help. We could really use your purrs!


My the Moms mom (my grandma) is a stage 4 breast cancer patient and things have really turned south for her. The Mom is gonna go down and see what she can do to help and spend some time with her the Mom (theres no cats down there at any of the families houses mom has assured me...but she did mention 2 puppies)

So I apologize for my lack of updates and future lack of updates. Mom said she would call me and try to update while shes away but they will probably be pictureless because well......we're gonna be 1300 miles apart. She's leaving on thursday and promised to do her best to try and keep up with the blogs, comment and possibly make a few posts for me

Till the 31st!

Tygana

Guess What Thursday!

Last weeks guess what got a pretty good range of answers!!

I'm decided to mix things up a bit this week and instead of naming last weeks victor I'm going to go ahead and give you the guess what, from that guess what your going to guess who last weeks winner was.

So this week the Guess What Is....

Last weeks winner is a lovely ladycat who loves to play games....even word games. Though her brother is always ruining her good fun.

Who is it?

Wordless Wednesday
