Frodo Gets Animated for National Cat Day!

October 29, 2016 by Amarula

FRODO: Oh Heavens! Oh My! I can’t believe it! Not only is it National Cat Day today but it’s also Athena’s Caturday Art Blog Hop! I’m showing you my cartoonist side (get it??) cause Mom says I’m such a funny character! I just can’t believe cats get their own national cat day!? Do we get prizes? Will there be extra tuna…surely we get extra tuna?!! What time is the awards ceremony?! What will I wear!?

AMARULA: Actually Frodo, sadly, National Cat Day is only celebrated in the USA and as we are Canadian cats we don’t celebrate it…

FRODO: What?? So no extra tuna….no red carpet….

AMARULA: NO sorry…in fact…today in Canada it’s Seafood-free Saturday! So not only will there not be any extra tuna …there won’t be any tuna at all!!

FRODO: Noooooooooooooooooo!

ZULU: Why do you listen to Amarula!!?? Haven’t you learned by now not to trust her! Canada celebrates National Cat Day too!! And I know mom has some extra tuna treats planned for today!

FRODO: Yipee!! Why are you looking so artsy too Zulu?!

ZULU: Cause mom said in honor of National Cat Day we all get to go artsy!!

AMARULA: All right, all right, in the spirit of National Cat Day, I too will show off my artsy side!

ZULU, FRODO and AMARULA: Happy National Cat Day everyone! Join the blog hop!

War and Peace: a Backyard Battleground

October 28, 2016 by Amarula

ZULU: Don’t you think this is childish Amarula? Why can’t we just hang out close to one another in the backyard without any fur flying.

AMARULA: As I recall, aren’t you the fighter in the family? Weren’t you the one who started a fight with Frodo a few weeks ago?

ZULU: That was for something of vital importance! Supremacy of the catnip patch! But normally I’m a lover not a fighter!

AMARULA: When I open my eyes you better be at least a full three-cat lengths away from me Zulu. I mean it…

ZULU: Surprise!! Come on let’s play! Let’s put the PEACE back in War and Peace! Come on, pet my tummy!!

AMARULA: I am not amused! You can’t say I didn’t warn you. Prepare for the claws of catastrophe…

ZULU: Oh please! The only catastrophe here is your breath!

AMARULA: Kaboom!

ZULU: Hey!

AMARULA: Kapow!

ZULU: Ok Ok!

ZULU: OK I will stay over here! You are so immature!

AMARULA: The claws of death have yet to let me down! Now to my Friendly Fill-Ins hosted by 15andmeowing and McGuffy’s Reader!

ZULU: When do I get to do the fill ins!?

AMARULA: Talk to the paw, Zulu! Talk to the paw… Here are my Fill Ins!

The first thing I check when I go online is _Whether or not Amazon is having a sale on catnip. I also Google to see if a new remake of that dog movie “Old Yeller” is coming out. I love a good comedy!
My signature dish is: Hairball with a side of drool___________________.
My Halloween night is usually spent: Frightening trick or treaters with the sounds of my forlorn caterwauling as I sing sadly about the death of summer.
Trick or treaters : Have tasty ankles! I love trying to chop them when they come to the door! Yummy!

Sunday Selfie Blog Hop

October 23, 2016 by Amarula

ZULU: As much as I love my brother Frodo, I was astonished and–more than just a little hurt–that he got so much attention last Sunday for his Sunday Selfie blog hop hosted by the Cat on My Head! We all know that I’m the looker in the family! So I spent all morning trying a variety of ties.

There were a few wardrobe malfunctions:

But finally…….

I finally found a tie that I believe sets off my fur just right! No one can resist my intense gaze! Try to control yourself ladies! Meow!

Pumpkin Carving, Halloween Costumes and Fill ins!

October 21, 2016 by Amarula

AMARULA: Halloween?! I’m against it. For obvious reasons (I DO NOT like costumes – they tend to cover up my natural beauty!

Pumpkins?! I’m against them too. They always have such sinister faces! Or at least I was against them until our good friend and fantastic artist Nellie made a carved pumpkin just for me!! Isn’t it beautiful!??

FRODO: Didn’t she make it for all of us Amarula?!

AMARULA: Shut up Frodo! Now to my Friendly Fill-Ins hosted by 15andmeowing and McGuffy’s Reader!

1. One Halloween, I dressed as _____a witch__.And I would like to point out that I did NOT dress up willingly – the human made me!

2. My favorite comedian is __Frodo_ As much as the little imp drives me crazy, his low IQ and propensity to do anything I tell him to has led to many a laugh! Like when he was caught all covered in dirt from digging up the human’s plant!

3. My scariest Halloween was see above, number 1 – when the human made me wear a costume!!

4. My new pumpkin from Nellie is my favorite Halloween treat. I LOVE IT!!

ZULU and FRODO: We love it too!!!

A Game of Cat and … Mouth!?

October 17, 2016 by Amarula

A Game of Cat and … Mouth!?

FRODO: Zulu what are you doing?

ZULU: Well, I hate to break this to your Frodo, but mom put me in charge of watching you and making sure you don’t get into trouble. You have been getting into quite a lot of trouble lately! So I have to keep you on a “short leash” so to speak.

FRODO: But we all know that I only get into trouble when I am led astray by Amarula! I am a well-behaved cat otherwise!

ZULU: While I generally agree that Amarula is responsible for most of the precarious predicaments you get into, you do tend to wander off if no one is watching you!
