Man Cat Monday

Hi, My name is Furrydance Tater Du, but everyone calls me Teddy. My last name is Mastillone, so I'm sort of an Italian-English cat.

I have a brother named Henry Oliver, a dog named Sophie and 2 servants named Kristynn and Thomas. I live in South Carolina.

Just to show you that mancats have their feminine side, here's a letter I wrote to my mewmie this morning...

hello mom,

This is Teddy. I have to hurry before dad finds out I'm on the laptop....you remember how much trouble I got in when I opened that Ebay account.....

I though you would like to know what I've been up to while you are at work. Dad started to put away the laundry and I thought I would help him just a little.... but then I thought, "Now this is a good time for me to snoop around in the closet and see what new toys I might be able to find." So guess what I did?

When dad was busy and not looking I leaped up on to dad's shirts and made my way to the toy bag that you and dad hide all the good toys inside. I don't know why you don't let me have them all at once. Then I peeked inside and looked all around the bag and found not one but three balls stuck together!!! JACKPOT!!!!!

So I grabbed them as fast as I could and and hauled booty so dad couldn't take them from me..... I played by myself for a little bit (I found out dad can't reach me if I am under the bed in the very middle) but then I got pretty bored.....(I get lonely sometimes too) so I thought dad would want to play with me.

Sooooo, silly me, I brought the balls to dad and all the sudden I remembered I wasn't supposed to have them!!

Good news, dad is so great he let me keep one and even played fetch with me! He said he didn't want to finish the laundry anyway, but you were grumpy when you couldn't find your uniform this morning so well, he's trying to clean up a bit.... (By the way, I think I smell lasagne in the oven as I write this and I can only hope I don't end up looking like that fat as$ Garfield one day.)

So that is what I have been up to so far today. I have to go now..... I see my brother in the corner and feel like a play fight is about to happen............

love you mom

Coco's flying back to her birth home...

I got a call from ML last night...the big blue Sherwood boys where stalking and being aggressive to Coco and she had become fearful and jumpy, and crying when she was separated from ML.

Although it's only been two weeks, and things might improve with some more time, ML and Charley and Auntie Deb made the decision that for Coco's happiness, it would be best to fly her back home to me.

I have had it take over 3 months for a new adult cat to settle into it's new home, but also know that the Sherwood's know their cats and if they feel that they will never let Coco into the "tribe" then yes, it's best she come back home to me so she can settle back into her life here with the least amount of stress on her.

I am sad, as I know how much Coco Charlize added to their life, and like ML and Charley and Deb said, they so enjoyed the two weeks of loving and snuggling they had with Coco...and maybe sometime in the future, there could be a Furrydance kitten in their life? Adult cats are more amenable to letting a kitten into their midst than an adult cat and so, we will see what the future brings.

So, today at 3:30pm, I will head to the airport and pick Coco up, not as much fanfare as with her arrival in Texas, but I will be happy to see her again, get her settled into the guest bedroom so she can acclimate back into the cat family slowly again, give her time to rest and nap and get used to her cat friends here again in her own time.

And Auntie Deb said when she gets back home again, she will come and visit all the Furrydance cats, and who knows...maybe the Taylor cats would like a Cornish Rex in their home?? ML said she likes the thought of that!

Caturday Saturday-Halloween Style!

Try JibJab Sendables® eCards today!

This cute JibJab video was put together by Cathy and Mike, who are the sweetest kids, and Duncan is their Furrydance kitty, playing the part of the vampire in this movie.

Fashion Friday??

This is Furrydance Sid, and we think this makes a good Halloween costume...

He's dressed as a Jawa from Star Wars...



see the resemblance?



or maybe he's Obi Wan Kenobi?



or maybe he's just a Cornish Rex wanting to burrow in a blankie and be warm!

Frootbat Friday

Thankful Thursday

Mewmie came home from work today, sayin' she stopped at PetSmart and was looking for these little springy toys we like, but they didn't have any. But when she came back inside from going to the mailbox, she had a box in her hands and she said "Hey kitties, Finny sent you all a Paw It Forward box!"


She ran and got her camera (cuz the last time we got a PIF box, she just let us dig in and forgot to take any pictures!) and set the box down on the living room floor. We sniffed and sniffed it. She opened the card next, and she told us that was the polite thing to do when you got a present, to read the card first. It was cute, with a cat on the front about as fat as Disco, with lots of treats and candy round him. We felt like we had been trick or treating with the wonderful treats that Fin and Meg sent us!


Then she opened it and we stuck our heads inside the box and did more sniffin! Inside were some of the very toys that mewmie had been eyeing at PetSmart! Kitten sized Kickeroos (that krackle when you put the bitey on them), a box of Super Catnip which mewmie opened up and sprinkled round our treats, many balls with bells in them (they will be fun to bat around the wood floors!) and a green tinsel ball (which Kiki found and ran off with!), a bag full of mice and balls of all sorts (like a motherlode of prizes!) and even some milk jug caps and rings (which Disco grabbed and ran up the stairs with his favorite white one.


Mewmie wants to thank Fin and Meg for such a box full of fun for all us Furrydance cats (and yes, the kittens are still here and got to enjoy the pressies, too--they go off to their new homes on Saturday).


So, to keep this Paw It Forward fun going, we will start shopping and make up a package of delites for the very first kitty that posts a comment saying "Me, Me, Me...Pleeze, Pleeze, Pleeze.
