Da sun was shinin’ thru da clouds when we woke up this meownin’ It was a glorious sight. Weez had rain and gloomy skies fur da longest time now. Me didn’t think da sun was ever gunna shine again. But here it is. Cuz of da gloomy weather we haven’t really had much goin’ on here. Me is much calmer durin’ da storms now, so we have been purrlayin’ and workin’ on all da stress relievin’ stuffs we told you ‘bout last week. Ifin you missed our de-stressin’ post you can read it here.
Mommy’s case manager was here yesfurday to recertify her fur another year. She’s posed to have sumone who comes out and helps clean da house, run errands, and dat sort of fing. But da peeps in our area don’t wanna work cuz parently they can make more money on welfare. We live in a very small rural community and peeps from da bigger town don’t wanna drive all da way out here, or can’t afford too. There’s been a kupple times da agencies did find sumpawdy but there was purrsonality conflicts or they didn’t like cats. One girly was lergic to cats and when she showed up to work and me came out to check her out, she ran outta da house scweamin’. (shakes head) So ridiculous. Anyways, Oklahoma has finally adopted a purrogram dat wuld allow mommy to have control over who gets hired and how much money they get paid (within’ da State limits of course). Weez really ‘cited ‘bout this and hope to be able to find sumpawdy soon. You know Lexi and me can’t work da carpet monster, washin’ machine or mop. Thank Catness. MOL
Don’t furget to enter our give away fur your very own refillable catnip toy from Imperial Cat. Click here to see your choices and enter. Dat’s ‘bout it fur our middle of da week ketch up. Stay tuned fur more fun and education in our next posty. Me has to go now and find one of those sun puddles afur they go away again.
Wanna play? Mr. Hedgehog, did you hear me? Me asked ifin you wanted to play?
Oh sure girls, I’m up for some play. Why don’t you have your mom put some of that cat nip you like so much inside my refillable body.
Dat’s right a completely refillable with furesh cat nip fuzzy toy fur us kitties to play with. We have lots of toys from Imperial Cat so when they asked ifin we wuld like to bring you all one of their newest in the Cat’n Around™ line we just had to say, “count us in”. How many pawsum toys have your cats quit playin’ with after the nip has gotten old or been soaked with slobber so many times it’s just not furesh anymore. Trust me, we know all ‘bout dat slobberin’ since sis Lexi dusn’t have hardly any teeth. Anyways, unlike mats, nip filled toys can’t really be cleaned. So what do you do with ‘em when they’re no longer any fun? They either go into da bottom of da toy box or in da trash right? Or what ifin your kitty purrfurs silvervine stead of nip? Toys filled with da vine are really hard to find. Well what wuld you say ifin you kuld empty out da old stale nip and add furesh or whatever you wanted inside; essentially makin’ da toy new again? You’d say count you in too, huh?.
Well dat’s zactly what Imperial Cat did. They created a line of refillable catnip toys. There’s a Fuzzy Heart Duo, a completely stuffin’ furee toy dat comes with 2 fuzzy heart pillows, the Snake duo which comes in assorted colors and our furiend da Feather Hedgehog duo. Each of these toys comes with an ample bag of certified organic USA grown catnip. Da only stuffin’ on these toys is in their heads. Each toy has a velcro closure in da tummy area where you can add as much or as little nip or whatever your cat purrfurs. Stuff them full or just enuff fur a whiff. Da suggested retail of these pawsum little duos is $5.96.
So, what do we think of Mr. Hedgehog? As you know we always tell it like it is. Me seemed very innerested when mommy was strugglin’ with da little velcro openin’ to fill him up, but he turned out not be as much fun as da escaping nip cuz da velcro dusn’t hold well. Sis Lexi however thought he was great fun. She batted him around fur a good little while. And has returned numerous times fur a bit more battin’. MOL Mr. Hedgehog is quite cute and his spikes seem to be made of microfiber so he is nice and soft. He has a tiny little pink ball glued on fur a nose, so fur any kitties dat like to chew on and/or eat their toys, we recommend removin’ da nose afur givin’ him to kitty to avoid pawssible chokin’ hazards, etc. We’re not those kitties, so our Mr. Hedgehogs’ nose is still in tact. All in all sissy gives him 4 paws up. And fur all da pawsum nip on da floor me rolled in, me gives him 2 paws up.
As usual we’ll let mommy weigh in on this too. We know you’re all innerested in knowin’ what her thoughts were. She wishes da velcro closure worked a bit better and wasn’t quite as stiff cuz she hadn’t planned on bringin’ out da carpet monster da day she gave us Mr. hedgehog. But with all dat nip all over da floor, it was sumfin’ dat had to be done. But mommy recognizes a gweat idea and so fur dat she gives it a thumb up too. And it’s highly pawssible dat da enclosure works better on da snake and hearts. We didn’t try those so we can’t say. What we can say is dat these wuld make a gweat Christmas purresent, stockin’ stuffer, or just cuz I luv ya’ gift. Mr. Hedgehog is a great toy with or without da nip. And at a purrice unner $6.00 fur 2 toys, you just have to get yours.
But WAIT
Da pawsum peeps over at Imperial Cat have been nice enuff to let us give one of our wunnerful readers their choice of da new stuffin’ furee, refillable catnip toys.

Imperial Cat isn’t respawnsible fur da content of meez post. We do fank ’em fur sendin’ us Mr. Hedgehog. Gotta go now. Hey, Mr. Hedgehog, wanna play?
Welkum to Wednesday wiff Chewy. As part of da Chewy.com bloggin’ team we get to review sum really great products. Mommy almost always asks us what we wuld like to try and chooses da products based on dat. But this month she decided we needed to try a new litter. Weez been tryin’ a few different ones but so far nuffin’ has stood up to our regular litter, so mommy had high hopes fur this one.
Have we got a Chewy review fur you.
As those of you who have read meez blog fur a while know me can be a little OCD ‘bout da pawdee box. Fur those of ya’ dat be new, let me ‘splain. We have more than 1 pawdee box of course. But me dusn’t care. Da minute sissy or me uses a pawdee box me wants it cleaned right then. Not in a minute, but right dat instant. Me will stand right outside da pawdee box room and meweek at da top of me lungs at mommy till she comes and cleans it out. Noooo, me dusn’t care what she’s doin’. Nuffin’s more purrtant than a clean pawdee box. Me might want need to use it. MOL
So this month we had da oppurrtunity to try Simple Solution 30 day Super Absorbent Litter. Da box says right on da front, “Never Scoop Urine Again.” It claims to be light weight, and it is. 3 times more absorbent, weez’ll get to dat. And have exclusive odor absorbin’ technology. So, it’s fur sure lightweight, and it’s pink. Now me dusn’t mean a little pastel off white color, me means bright girly girl pink. See…
This is da box on day 1 of trials.
Now let’s look at litter from a cat’s purrspective. We want sumfin’ we can walk on without hurtin’ our pawsies dat dusn’t smell like a french wh___ house purrfumery. Yep me sed it. Ask your kitties, they’ll tell ya’ me be tellin’ da truth. We want sumfin’ dat will kill da odor and dat dusn’t stick to our furs. And we wuld really purreciate not havin’ our noses filled wiff dust da minute we go to cover up our business. And me can tell ya’ we wuld all like sumfin’ dat didn’t stick to our paws either, but alas…
So how did da Simple Solution stack up? Well me took a sniff and didn’t have an asthma attack or need oxygen and neither did mommy, so we thought it was great in da smell department. No overwhelmin’ purrfumes. Sis Lexi was da furst to jump right in and take a seat, so we wuld say da grains must not be too hard. Altho’ we still haven’t figgered out why she wuld wanna sit in it. It’s made of pure Attapulgite, a lightweight mineral with a 3 dimensional crystal structure.
No fotos of sissy in da pawdee box as mommy was…indisposed. MOL But we fawt you wuld liike to see one of her we took last night. Isn’t she purretty?!!!
As fur da nose fillin’ dust…well mommy had to blow her nose, take a shower and change her black shirt after fillin’ da pawdee box wiff it cuz da pink dust got everywhere. And when me came into da pawdee box room to help mommy wiff her shower, me started sneezin’ like sneezy da dwarf.
It didn’t track all over da place after sissy jumped out of it, but she also didn’t actually do anyfin’ in it. As a matter of fact, neither of us wuld use it at all. Me looked at it a few times and sniffed at it ‘bout once a week, but me never put meez delicate little paws on dat pink dusty stuff. And after da one sittin’ adventure sis Lexi never went near it again. MOL So we honestly don’t have a clue ifin it hides da odors or ifin mommy wulda been able to get by wiffout scoopin’ cuz we wasn’t havin’ any of dat.
This is da same pawdee box wiff Simple Solution 30 day litter on day 20. Still looks like it did on day 1. MOL Unused
Mommy says she’s surprised we didn’t at least try it cuz weez purretty good ‘bout tryin’ new things. But she’s also not upset, cuz she dusn’t think all dat dust wulda been too good fur us. So all in all sis Lexi and me gotta give it all paws down. Mommy said she wuld give it 1 fumm up just cuz it’s natural and lightweight. And our regular stuff nearly breaks her back. Thank catness fur rollin’ trolleys cuz it dusn’t look like weez’ll be changin’ litter any time soon.
But hey, Chewy has lots of pawsum stuff fur all da furries in your life. So check ‘em out. They offer flat rate shippin’ thru Fed Ex and free shippin’ on orders of $49.00 or more every day of da week. Their Customer Service can’t be beat, and they’re available 24/7 365 days a year. Yep, even on Christmas. We know too, cuz we called ‘em afur. You know, mommy likes to make sure you do what you say ya’ do. MOL And then there’s da auto ship program dat makes sure you never run out of what ya’ need. You can always make adjustments to or cancel your auto ship any time.

Obviously we were not swayed and neither Chewy or Simple Solution are respawnsible fur da content of this post.

It’s Blest Sunday and awe we ever Blest. Last week it started stormin’ sumfin’ pawful. We wondered when we might see da sun again. See fur days afur da storms started it had been overcast and gray outside. It wasn’t cold, just yucky. Then da storms came and it turned black. Da next few days made us think we lived in Alaska, and we started wonderin’ not only when we might see da sun again but when we might see daylight again. It was like 30 days of night round here. Okay so maybe it was only 4 but when day and night never change you start to go a bit stir crazy and lose all track of time.
These storms also came with high powered winds dat kept knockin’ out our internet. We would try to visit our furiends and it would take 2 and sometimes 3 times to load a site cuz we kept getting’ da no internet connection message. And tryin’ to leave a comment? OMC Dat was crazy. By Furiday we had all but given up on da catputer. Me was posed to be havin’ a blast at Cat Scouts but me kuldn’t comment at all. And da fotos mommy and me made fur our trip? Well they were all question marks and blanks. All our fotos and videos was fur dat matter. So da video mommy was posed to work on wasn’t there. Oh it was there, we just couldn’t see it. MOL
Finally on Caturday da storm let up fur a few hours and me was able to get into Cat Scouts and post a foto or two and let everypawdy know where we had been. And then we shut it down and played wiff mommy. It had turned cooler, wiff da days seein’ da low to mid 70’s and da nights in da low to mid 60’s. When we have this kind of weather mommy gets really slow and sis Lexi and me give her lots more massages. We finally went to bed Caturday and wondered what we might see when we woke up today.
When we finally got around this meownin’ it was like a scene right outta a Disney film. Da sun was peekin’ thru’ da clouds and we could imagine butterflies swarmin’ da plants and birds flittin’ round with twigs in their beaks fur nest makin’ and bunnies raidin’ gardens. And we could hear ‘da hills are alive with music’. We do have an active imagination, don’t we? MOL We was just happy to see daylight and sunshine. Weez not sre how long it’s gunna last cuz we’re ‘spectin’ more of those storms, but at least fur today we have da sun. It’s kinda like nature knew it was Blest Sunday and showed up. And as always we are so blest to have each and every one of you in our lives.
Looks like mommy’s gunna be workin’ on dat video today. And workin’ on meez birthday party a little more too. Me really can’t wait. Ifin you wanna be included in meez birthday posty on November 2nd, purrlease send yous fotos by October 30, 2015 to: lexi.dezi@yahoo.com
