Three Canadian cats and their adventures
This photo is an artful rendition (using Dreamscape’s Spring theme) of Amarula being unsuspectingly shadowed by that Felonious Feline from the previous Sherlock Hopeless detective story earlier this week (stay tuned Monday for the dramatic Finale to find out who wins the sensational sidewalk showdown!)
We are joining Athena’s Caturday Art blog hop!
Yet another stressful day for our two boys, Zulu and Frodo. They had the difficult task of trying to find the most comfortable position on the Lazyboy chair. Cats are such troupers! This was position #1
Position 1 was not quite right so they went on to Position 2.
Position 3: Looks quite comfy!
Position 4: Still not quite right….
Position 5: We have a winner! Finally our Two Lazy Boys On A Lazyboy are satisfied!
Here are Amarula’s Friendly Fill-Ins hosted by 15andmeowing and McGuffy’s Reader!
Frodo, who is pretty much one of the happiest cats in the world all of the time, is feeling blue this Sunday. He’s finding it hard to get out of bed as he’s overwhelmed with the sad news about Fiona going to the Rainbow Bridge. And the loss of Sammy, Treasure and Easy is just making everything too much for the little guy. He’ll open his eyes again in a few hours and see if he is ready to greet the day.
This is my Selfie Sunday for the blog hop (hosted by The Cat on My Head)
ZULU: With the weather taking a sad turn towards the lower end of the temperature gauge, you can be sure that means us felines will be spending more time indoors and less time on supervised outdoor visits! Therefore, it’s absolutely vital to take full advantage of indoor sunpuddles. While Amarula would tell you otherwise (and Frodo, who is so easily manipulated by that devious diva, would likely agree!) it’s actually I, Zulu, who is the brains (and the beauty, come to think of it!) of this operation! So I will take it upon myself to educate all my fur-bearing brothers and sisters about the proper techniques of sunpuddle bathing!
ZULU: First you do your back. This is the most obvious position and the one most of my feline brethren tend to rely on the most.
ZULU: Now this is where things can get more complicated. You gotta then tilt ever so slightly to your right to do your right side.
ZULU: Now you ever so elegantly move so that your left side is now exposed to the sunpuddle. Some concentration will be required to properly execute this position.
ZULU: Now, the final position. This is one many felines forget. The tummy must also be allowed to enjoy the warmth of the sunpuddle. A warm belly can go very far in aiding digestion and help eliminate issues with an upset stomach and gas (I’m talking to you Amarula!). This position is an advanced maneuver and requires dexterity but just be sure to engage your stomach muscles!
ZULU: Now let’s move on to the proper way to groom…
AMARULA: Shut up Zulu! How dare you suggest I have gas! Nobody cares about your stupid lessons on anything! Now be quiet so I can do my Friendly Fill-Ins hosted by 15andmeowing and McGuffy’s Reader!
Week 30: December 2, 2016
AMARULA: On a more serious note, though Frodo, Zulu and I did not know Sammy or Easy well, we wanted to say our thoughts are with your humans as you both head to the Rainbow bridge. And if I could invite Sammy to fly with me anywhere it would be to my backyard, which I think is the best place in the whole world! I’ve left a spot right beside me for you to come join me whenever you want!
If I close my eyes just a little and squint really hard, I think I can see Sammy and Easy head together towards the bridge!
On a more serious note. Though we did not know
FRODO: Sometimes the only way to deal with Monday….
is to just get away from it all and find your Happy Place!
And we are doing the Awww Monday Blog hop from Comedyplus!
Get out of the way! Someone just ran rang the dinner bell! This is my Selfie Sunday for the blog hop (hosted by The Cat on My Head)
Everyone seemed to love the photo of Amarula and her “prey” napping on the sidewalk together so much that it deserved to be art! This Caturday Art is in an oil-painting style — it makes the two sworn enemies almost look like friends! We are joining Athena’s Caturday Art blog hop (see below)
The Versatile Blogger Award
We also wanted to send a big thank you to our friends Kali and Shoko from the Canadian Cats blog for nominating us for The Versatile Blogger Award– Here are the rules:
Well as to choosing ONLY 15, most of the ones Zulu, Frodo and Amarula picked were already nominated! But we did want to send a very big shout out to 15 and Meowing and The Tabbies of Trout Towne. They were the first two cat blogs to ever follow Hairballs and Hissyfits and make comments! They will always have a special place in all of our hearts…We can’t even begin to tell them how much their supports means to us!
And here are seven things about us that you may not know:
Thanks again to Kali and Shoko and all our new friends in the cat blogoshpere!
There are lots of better ways to spend Black Friday than shopping! Here are just some ways to avoid the madness:
Option 1: Bury yourself in your work (or your desk drawer)
Option 2: Just hide away until it’s all over
Option 3: Take too much catnip and then spend some time with your favorite toy
Option 4: Hide in your Sour Puss box and pout
Option 5: The best option of all! Curl up with a friend in a sunpuddle!
AMARULA: Hope all our American friends had a good Thanksgiving. Here are my Here are my Friendly Fill-Ins hosted by 15andmeowing and McGuffy’s Reader!
1. Yesterday, was terrible! All that wonderful turkey fragrance was floating up here to Canada from our neighbors in the USA! It was torture! All I got was a Temptations turkey treat!
2. My idea of regifting is when I secretly throw up the pills mom gives me into her coffee!
3. My favourite holiday leftover is… LEFTOVERS! I’m against them. Leftovers are for humans! I lick everything while no one’s looking that way I always get it first!
4. The best part of a long, holiday weekend is when I indulge by extending my daily nap time from a mere 18.5 hours to 22 hours!
Wordless Wednesday: Sometime There’s Nothing Better Than A Bath With A Friend!
Wordless Wednesday Blog Hop!
AMARULA: As you may recall, dear readers, we recently had a feline interloper in MY backyard whose interest in Frodo showed she was clearly deranged and possibly rabid. After the last encounter, I promised I would track down where this hussy lives and introduce her to Ms. CLAWS (if you know what I mean!) Being a woman of my word, I have been prowling the neighborhood at all hours hoping to catch site of the miscreant. I am sad to report that so far I have not found a single sign of the fluffy trespasser!
AMARULA: Yesterday, I thought I was close…I felt an evil presence everywhere I turned and I could not shake the feeling that I was being watched!
AMARULA: The sensation that I was SO CLOSE to my prey haunted me and yet I could not find her! The stress was too much and I decided that what I really needed was a good nap to help revive me.
AMARULA: After a short 12 hour nap, I was still unable to allay my feelings of unease. Where is that felonious feline?! Despondent, I just stared at the sidewalk for hours!
AMARULA: Don’t you worry, I shall never give up! I am a fierce hunting feline. I am legendary for my superior tracking and detective skills and I am sure I will soon find my prey! I shall not give up! At least I can still amuse myself by participating in the Awww Monday Blog hop from Comedyplus!
