Da Bird video 1

No idea why the first video in the series of three was set to private.. silly computers.  But it is my favorite and I didn't want you to miss it so I'm reposting it so you don't have to go try and find it :)

Wordless Wednesday - Mishka

The Crew meets Da Bird

So the other week I won a giveaway over at Three Cat's Tails for World Cat Day. This was very exciting for me as the gift that I won included Da Bird!

This should be a really nice picture of the things they sent me, but I can't find the photo anywhere!  I'll need to take it again and post it here tonight

The last time I brought home Da Bird, Twee IMMEDIATELY caught it and broke both of the main feathers. That girl is absolutely amazing, as she is more than a few kibbles short of a bag, but man she can HUNT! DH thinks it is because she grabs first and thinks later, and there is probably some truth to that.

When I open the package on Sunday and put it together, the noise it made caused Jack to RUN straight for me.  We had some fun playing and the rest of The Crew joined in.  I had to end the play session before it was broken since I wanted to get some video for you.  So last night I grabbed my flip cam and the following fun ensued..

Jack wants you to know of his momma had let that birdie in the other day - he SOO would have caught it!!

Another package arrived at Casa de Gato recently. It came from "Purina Cares". It was a complete shock to me but it also made me smile.  I remember answering a question on the Purina Fancy Feast Facebook page about Fancy Feast.  I don't remember the question but my answer was that I am really glad they make the classic flavors because it is one of the foods I feel is safe for my cats to eat (since they have lower carb counts and few plant based ingredients so they are safer for Jack with his urinary issues) I have NO idea if this package was derived from that post or something else because there was no additional information in the package.. just the seven (yup, seven) smaller boxes.  So where ever it came from they knew my address and they knew I had seven kitties.  Sadly very shortly after these arrived Jack started urinating blood again, so I have been VERY hesitant to give him anything out of the ordinary, but once I feel comfortable with his health I'm sure I'll be treating The Crew.. Jack will probably get the Classic Turkey and Giblets I keep in the cupboard (in case I ever need to entice him to eat), since the 'grilled' version of their food has wheat gluten and soy in it..

Do you need help opening these??

Now open this too or I'll help.. 

Muffin, that is NOT helping.. 

I do have another review post to do with litter scoops.. I'm hoping to get that up this weekend.  With the stress of the sick kittens and Jack and life in general I am so far behind in this sort of thing and it bugs me..

I am curious, my stats tell me that very few people watch the videos I post, so I thought I'd ask,

Do you prefer photos or videos

An overdose of cute for your Monday morning

The second video was taken moments after the first. I didn't realize Mishka was in the tube when I as filming and she popped out right after I hit stop.

The first one is a little long, but I'm pretty sure you won't mind.. (but feel free to tell me if you do or not in the comments)

Introducing...

I know I know, it seems wrong that "boy" and "girl" have gone with out names for this long.  I was wracking my brain trying to be clever and I just couldn't do it.  I wanted to come up with two words with similar meanings that started with c and k and would work for a boy and a girl.. I was trying all too hard to be clever, and as such I got no where.

Then one day it was the awesome Amy Palmer's birthday and I wanted to do something really nice for her because .. well she's really nice.  but I'm not clever at photoshop like some and just saying 'Happy Birthday" seemed anticlimactic..

and in a "you've got peanut butter in my chocolate" kind of moment, I had a wonderfully brilliant idea.  I'd let Amy name them.

She took some time and thought it through and we are proud to announce we now have names..

Boy - hence forth to be known as "Cubbie"

Cubbie is much shier than his siblings.  He is a fierce little wrestler, and loves to climb, but is not a fan of me nor my husband (who all the cats love)  I am working on him, and hopefully in time he'll run towards me instead of away.

Girl - hence forth to be known as Koshka

Koshka is much more outgoing.  She rivals Verona for attention seeker of the group.  She LOVES to climb and was the first one up on the green tube, and she likes to be petted and kissed and to have her belly rubbed.

Amy is a really sweet caring and lovely person.  She runs a blog seabasscat.com and has a Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/SeabassCat and volunteers quite regularly at her local shelter Wayside Waifs. I hope you stop by and say hi..
