Frootbat Friday, Nolo Style

Every time we do a Frootbat Friday, Teri says she remembers the first time she heard that word...from  Kaze and Skeezix and even Dragonheart...

It's a term that just makes her smile, like Furry Dance does...

On this Frooty Friday, we introduce to you a kitty named Nolo! Our friends that follow us on Facebook already know about him, but here's a little back story...

Last Friday, just as Teri was getting off of work and sitting out by Lake Anne with Kely, she got 2 messages from FB friends that there was a Cornish Rex in need at the Fairfax County Animal Shelter.

Teri has been a foster mom to a few mutant cats in need, and well, she couldn't just drive home and not do something! She hadn't ever been to the Fairfax Shelter before but she was impressed with what she saw, including many volunteers who stopped in to take the shelter dogs for a walk... Sweet!

They took her in to meet Nolo, but he was terrified, ears flat back and lunging at the cage door. He even had scratches on his nose from doing that! They told her he was surrendered the day before, his owner had died and a family member took him in, only to find they were allergic and poor Nolo was taken to the shelter!

He was friendly and outgoing on intake, when the staff snapped this photo...

But one scary night there and he turned into 'Unadoptable'... Fortunately the shelter had worked with the Sphynx rescue organization, S.O.A.R. (Sphynx Open Arms Rescue) and they contacted them about Nolo and two friends of mine heard about him and well...Teri's a foster mom again!

She brought Nolo home last Friday and set him up in the 'rehab' cage in the basement and he settled down very quickly and as you can see from this video...before long he had 'Happy Feet'! Like Teri said, that makes her happy, too!

                            

We will keep you updated on Nolo (who has lovely Frootbats) and the search for his new forever home!

Last weekend was the National Capital Cat Show, and this year for the very first time, there was a feline fashion show!

Of course, we stylin' cats had to participate, as did a number of kitties who had never dressed up a day in their 9 Lives! But our fans know we are experienced models, and not only Coco knows how to rock the Cat Walk!

You'll have to go visit Coco's blog to see her in all her glory...after all, it's ManCat Monday here on our blog!

Monday Mewsings & a Box for Cat Ladies!

You know quip that a cat has never met a box it didn't like...except maybe the one that we call a PTU, hahameow!

Well, our friend, Dorian Wagner, who besides running the best little cat rescue express in the U S of A, The Cute Transport Network, keeps us us informed about All Things Cat, at her Your Daily Cute website.

Her most recent venture is now helping Ladies Who Love Cats (one of whom cares for us) get a nice little surprise each month (no, not that monthly surprise...) if they sign up for her subscription service, Cat Lady Box!

Teri spends quite a bit of time surfing the web, looking at cat related accessories, but for the most part, they just stay on her 'Wish List'. We are sure she isn't the only Cat Lovin' Lady out there that does the same thing, right?

So if you love a lady that loves cats, we know the purrfect way to make her happy! For $34.99 a month, you can rest assured that the carefully curated contents of each monthly box, will make her Squee with delight!

Those monthly Squees happen when said Lady opens the Box and finds two or three fashionably cat-themed presents... hand-picked items chosen with the most fashionable Cat Lady in mind! She might find a bracelet, sensuous purrfume, a silky scarce, even catnip scented lip balm, and more!

AND by seeking out the most special of gifts to fill these purrfectly wonderful boxes, they also support independent artisans and small businesses who they purchase said unique finds from!

And in case you are thinking this might be an extravagance more like splurging, we'll have you know that Cat Lady Box donates 5% of their profits, each and every month, to cat rescue organizations!

And, if you think that the empty box might not be quite enough to make us cats happurry, too...you can bump up your subscription to the next level, The Crazy Cat Lady Box. If you do that...well, we cats will be sure to fall in love with hand picked catnip toys and treats!

The shipping is free, and you can cancel at any time, but we hope that you will find the surprise you or your loved one gets every month makes you as happy as Teri was when she opened her CatLadyBox!

 And as happy as we cats were to sit in the empty box, too!

Disclaimer: Teri did not get paid for this review, but she did get a free Cat Lady Box! That did not sway or influence her opinion of the fine assortment of feline-themed goodies inside! She told us she only shares info and products that she feels will be useful and relevant to our readers. We think she is the most fun-loving, ethical personal assistant we know! And thanks for the toys, Dorian!
