ManCat Monday


Teri wasn't around much this past weekend! She was busy driving down to Carolina Beach NC to deliver those two ManCats, Carlos and Zeuss, to their new family!

She had an uneventful trip down and the boys were very good travelers and kept their meows to a an occasional, soft comment, hahameow! Her trip back was slower due to Sunday traffic, and quieter, which made her happy and kinda sad at the same time...

Their new family is lovely, and the kids very 'cat friendly' and even Sox, the Border Collie, will be well-behaved around them, too, if her behavior while I was there is any indication! She even waits for you to get down the stairs before she proceeds! Sox will get to meet the boys sometime this week, with supervision, of course!

We hope we get photos from time to time to let us know how Carlos and Zeuss are doing, and when we do, we will make sure Teri shares them with you...cuz you all have left such sweet comments wishing them a Happurry Life in their new home!

Thankful Thursday


Well, Teri is thankful today because Carlos and Zeuss have found a new forever home! Teri says that with a little trepidation as this year alone she got back 5 kitties from homes she thought would be forever, too...

So she is driving them down to Carolina Beach NC to their new home and they invited her to spend the night (she'll sleep with Carlos and Zeuss to help them acclimate, sweet huh?!). While she is there, she will show them how to bath them and clean their ears and toes.

How to Clean a Cornish Rex Ears.

She made a photo CD of all the good photos she has of them both, from newborn to now, along with photos of their mom (Coco) and their dad (Sammy) since this family didn't see them as kittens, she knows they will enjoy that!


Then she had to pull together their vet records and last thing in the car will be their blankie and bed and food and toys. She is even donating a couple of gently used PTU's, too!

Teri hopes this is the right family for them both and she is very happy that they can stay together, although when they arrived here, Zeuss was kind of a bully to Carlos, but Carlos seemed to shrug it off ok.


In fact, Bebe was kinda mean to Kely when they first got here, too. Cats don't like change but with a calm and slow approach, they can settle into a new home again...

She is also thankful that she has friends who care about her and us kitties, too! A couple of weeks ago, one friend asked if we needed help with anything for us kitties, like litter or food.

Well, Teri told them she was probably going to have to cut down on our stinky goodness and look around for a less expensive food to feed all of us except Disco, since he has to eat novel protein because of his IBD.


This friend asked Teri what we were eating now and she said Life's Abundance dry and canned. And guess what?! They gave us a 40# 'breeder' bag of LA kibble! That was super thoughtful of them and it really helped Teri out financially as that bag costs around $80!

She also recently read that the canned food that Disco eats, Nature's Variety Rabbit canned food is exactly the same formulation in the large size dog version, right down to Taurine at the same level as in the more spendy 6 oz cans, at least that is what the company told this person writing the article (of course, Teri can't recall where she read this!

So on her next Chewy.com order, we are going to the dogs, hahameow but she is going to call the company that makes Nature's Variety herself, too because how they list it on the cat food (0.05%) and the dog food (940mg/kg) is just confusing her!

And there always seems like something to Hop about, so Hop To It! PepiSmartDog wrote a nice memorial about Cokie The Cat who had to be helped to the Bridge yesterday...

Wordless Wednesday


Autumn is here and while we are lovin' window whiffin', we really need to burrow in when we nap!


These two lovely ladycats are Kely & Bebe! We are sure you recall seeing them on our blog before...

They came back to their birth home here in April when their family was having problems that seemed insurmountable... Teri is just glad they are here with us now (even if Disco sprays on their bedroom door from time to time)...

And the great news is that they have families who are interested in adopting them, and both families have kitties from us already, so Teri knows they would have really good furever homes. So keep your fingers and toes crossed for Kely & Bebe, won't you?!


Oh...Coco wants everyone to know that she has a new Blog going on, custom designed with her in mind, by GloGirly Designs!


Go take a peek at it, so she'll stop mewling in our ears that she hasn't had many visitors or comments yet. What a Diva! Coco the Couture Cat.

Oh, and don't forget to Hop!

ManCat Monday


Here we are, sunnin' ourselves in our Ham-Micks! We know you have all seen a zillion photos of us sunnin' ourselves in our Ham-Micks, but it's one of our most favorite things to do!

And soon, winter will be here and the sunnin' will come to an end and all you will see of us are photos like this, HahaMeow!


And here's a bonus pix of Sammy! You might wonder what he is doing in the tent in the kitchen...


When we have paying guests at the B & B, Teri has to do what she calls 'Cat Juggling' and so Sammy gets to camp out in the tent, while the foster kitties Carlos and Zeuss stay in Sammy's bedroom. That frees up The Country Suite for guests!

FaShIoN FrIdAy, DiScO 'n BrIgHtOn StYle!


Yep, that's us! Larger than life! Well, one of us is, hahameow!

Guess you've heard that Coco has started up her own 'Glamorous Life' blog, Coco the Couture Cat, and so we guess it'll be us you'll be seeing now on these Fashun Furrdays...

Our wardrobe isn't quite as 'large' as Coco's, as you can tell by the closet at the hotel we stayed at for the Wigglebutt Wedding, Teri and our clothes don't even take up as much room as Coco's!


We have Upcycled T's and Brocade Vests and even Rescue Ink Muscle Shirts! 

Not lacking in the Fashion Department, are we? MeWowZa, No Way!

But we even look great without any clothes on, too! 


Like those Chippendale guys, HahaMeow!

Thankful Thursday


Today is Remember Me Thursday. 

It is the day we should all pause a moment as give thought to the shelter pets waiting for forever homes, sometimes for years...

And to think of those who have been lost, never to find love again...

There is much sadness and horror in the world today, but there is also much kindness. It is the kindness that keeps us going and give us hope...

Each year, over 3.4 million pets in shelters lose their lives without ever having a second chance at happiness. And only 30% of owned pets came from shelters or rescue organizations. While we can't change the lives of all of them, we can change the life of even just one...

So today, if each of us would do something, anything, that would help make a difference in even one homeless pets life, then you would 'Be The Light'...

And by remembering those who have been lost, we can shine a light on the ones we can save!

One of Teri's biggest commitments is to the cats she has brought into this world, and she has been there for those kitties through thick and thin (and right now, times are pretty thin since Teri lost her job). But that did not make her waver in her 'Being the Light' for Kely and Bebe and Carlos and Zeuss and Al...


She knows they will find the perfect forever homes with her help, and she is just Thankful on this Thursday that they did not end up in a shelter, and that they did not become one of those millions that we are remembering today...

Get involved and become a part of this world-wide awareness movement by sharing on social media. If animal lovers unite around the world, we can make a difference!

Ps: The photo in our post today was taken in our living room and just so you know...those are faux candles that have batteries to make the 'flame' flicker and glow. They are the only safe candles to have around us kitties!

And don't forget to Hop today, too...
