The Mega Pawsitive Fundraiser

That little cabinet next to the stove is purrfect kitty size. I imagine cat food will be kept there.

This upturned basket is the greatest toy lately. Fino likes to hide in it while he stalks the bird toy, and Aggie likes to ambush him while he’s in there, but I couldn’t get a picture of that.

I’ve never seen cardinals either, we don’t have them in Colorado. Such a brilliant blast of color. We do have little bright blue birds that come through every year, so beautiful. Great pictures, love the puffed up little sparrows.

I live in Missouri where the cardinal is the state bird and I've only seen one in the wild 2 or 3 times. Maybe it's the part of Missouri I'm in - who knows? They truly are beautiful birds and the few times I've seen one in a tree, I was completely enthralled.

Ah literally to the day last year was the start of a crazy time for me and Meph(istopheles). Poor thing had to have several enemas, took all kinds of drugs, dealt with a misdiagnosis and THEN still had to be weaned off steroids over several months. If it wasn't for TCS and it's wonderful members I'd have lost my mind.

A year later and Meph and I have become so much closer (she's still a shy, skittish princess) and I love it when she lets me hold her for more than 10sec and actually cuddles next to me on the couch or bed. I've also learned what triggers her anxiety induced IBD-esque symptoms and now prepare her and Momo's food.

Thank you TCS and lovely members!! A very happy new years to you and your furbabies!!

(Hopefully the photo of the impatient to be fed kitkats show lol)

MoochNNoodles what's brinner--breakfast for dinner?

Yes breakfast for dinner! In this case: buttermilk pancakes, home fries, bacon, eggs and some kind of fruit. If melons were in season; that's what we'd have.

I got a text about 15 minutes after midnight saying my kids were just going to bed after watching a movie at their sleepover with their grandparents!! DH and I enjoyed the quiet evening. We grocery shopped (what a romantic date) and picked up a sub for dinner and watched Merlin on Netflix. It felt good to just relax with DH. But I miss the kids too. Typical! Now lets see if they can hang tomorrow night.

I have wanted a scanner for so long, finally today I got one, I saw magazine ad of Holiday sales ending today and they were selling out Epson XP-245 multi-function printers at 29 euros each, brand new with all warranties from big store chain.

Such printer has also a scanner unit, so I bought one.

It is really way too long since I did any sketching or even hold a pencil, so this is quite horrible, done on my knee to piece of paper, but you can see how much better it is to have a scanner instead of just snapping a photo from drawing.

I need to practice my hand again a lot, however I'm never going to be really great at drawing, however with ugly sketch I can then scan it, use it as background for Clip Studio Paint and draw over vector layer, so I can carefully place lines how I want them, instead of what my hand randomly makes.

This I did very quickly in Power Point, using sketch above, I need a lot of practice, but at least now I can have it:

Pawsitive enough?

Another thing I love about this site is how much I've learned about cat physical traits! For example, I always thought the cat that lives with 97 year old grandma and my twin aunts was just a gray tabby. I was looking at her yesterday and I was like "hey, she's a dilute torbie with a classic/marbled pattern."

And I learned that all from this fabulous site. How pawsitive is that?

Its another lovely winter day. Temp of 0 and nice and toasty inside. Watching the movie the sitter. Its funny and good. How are my cat site folks doing?

 

[jcat]

It's mild and sunny this afternoon (so much for the weather forecast!), but very few people are out and about.

We now have 14 bunnies at the shelter, and not one of them is aggressive. There's a little apricot one that wants to cuddle all the time.

We're at a whopping temp of 2F so I hear ya. Also nice and toasty inside with my best furry friend by my side.
Last night we watched The Blues Brothers, an amazing cast with so many great songs and, of course, clips of the windy city. Whatever our TCS members are doing today I'd like to wish everyone a Happy & Healthy New Year!

 

[RittiAndElsa]

What a wonderful thread!

I feel blessed everyday have two of the sweetest and most cuddly cats I have encountered. One loves to be held like a baby while the other likes to climb on my chest or shoulders and pretty much lives there lol. They are the best and I love them so much!!!

 

[leopard_cats]

I love that this website helps so many people, and for free! I have honestly learned so much from here, and met so many nice people who helped me with my problems! If it weren't for all those people I swear I would have spent hundreds of dollars on pointless vet visits!

 

[foxxycat]

Still cold out! 3°F! Honeybee is napping on Jon. A quiet day inside. And a great way to raise money for the cats! Come on folks comment on this thread so we can raise money for kitties!!

 

[NewYork1303]

Last day of the year should be nice and relaxing. We're going to see star wars. A quiet end to a crazy year.

 

[abyeb]

Charlie wasn’t feeling well last night, but this morning he’s doing great! He’s active and curious, just like usual!

 

[Alicia88]

We're having lunch and cake for Aislyn's birthday today. Should be fun. In the meantime, I'm awfully chilly. Turned the heat up but it's taking a while.

 

[foxxycat]

Someone mentioned cardinals-there's a pair that hangs out in my back yard. I will have to get some pictures of them. They are a very beautiful red color!

You have 120 minutes to edit. Click on the 3-line design to the left under your post, then choose "Edit".

The fireworks are starting already, but Mowgli is fairly calm so far - though sticking close to mommy.

Fireworks are illegal here, thankfully. We are having a quiet New Year's Eve at home with the fur-kids today.

 

[Alicia88]

I don't know about Marcy - she hasn't been here long enough yet - but fireworks don't bother the boys. It's as though they don't even hear them. Storms don't bother any of them.

My youngest cat loves to do obedience, agility, and otherwise be active. This winter she'll start her training as a therapy cat.
