Run for the Roses #CaturdayArt

Meows from Mudpie, and Happy Derby Day!

Do you plan to watch the Kentucky Derby today? We will be even though Mommy watches horse races with one eye closed. She says NASCAR is her sport of choice because when the drivers crash they aren't destroyed like the poor horses are when they fall. She loves the Triple Crown races though - they're really all she watches - and she's so thankful she's now gotten to see two Triple Crowns in her lifetime. We hope it happens again, but more than anything we just pray for a safe race each year. The horses' lives are more important than any trophy. We don't usually choose a favorite but we'll be rooting for Render Judgment, Toby Keith's horse.

For my Caturday Art project this week I decided to wrap myself in a garland of roses just like the winning horse will receive.

And now our weekly answers for the Friendly Fill-Ins challenge, hosted by 15andmeowing and Four-Legged Furballs!

1. I write with my right hand.

2. My plans for the month of May include attending a foster kitten seminar and planting my veggie garden.

3. I wonder if anyone else is as uninterested in today's so-called "celebrities" as I am?

4. Christmas in July and the arrival of Halloween decor in the stores is what I like most about summer.

Thankful Thursday

Meows from Mudpie!

This week we're thankful for our new kitchen faucet. Ours bit the dust last week (the cold water wouldn't stop running even when the faucet was turned off) and Mommy had to wait a week for our plumber to replace it. Isn't it funny the things you take for granted until they no longer work? 

Mommy had to take all the cleaning supplies out from under the sink so he would have room to hook up the new faucet, so of course I had to check out the empty space. (We're not sure what those old stains are. Must've been a water leak there at some point, long before our time!) 

Mommy often jokes that with all the water problems we have she needs to marry a plumber. Our plumber would be the right age, and he's single, but he's not a candidate because he's obviously not a cat guy. While he was here I snoopervised his work, and he never even looked at me! 

Better keep looking, Mommy!

Mother's Day Gift Ideas for Cat Moms from Etsy

Meows from Mudpie!

Can you believe Mother's Day is less than 2 weeks away??? Now that my Grandma is gone it's no longer a holiday Mommy looks forward to, so she tries to put it out of her mind. I still want to treat her to something special though.

While browing Etsy for the purrfect gift for Mommy, I found several things that any cat mom would love to receive on her special day...

















Which is your favorite? I think everything here would be a hit with Mommy, but she would probably love the small whisker vase the most. I'll need to figure out how many squeezies I would have to go without in order to pay for it.

I hope you enjoy my picks, and don't forget, if you find something here you like and make a purchase using our affiliate links, I get a little money for my piggy bank! I might even spend it on Mommy's gift!

Caturday Art

And now our weekly answers for the Friendly Fill-Ins challenge, hosted by 15andmeowing and Four-Legged Furballs!

1. Criticism hurts my feelings.

2. Things on my not to do list include mowing the lawn (too early in the season) and dusting (it makes me sneeze LOL).

3. Any cat tchotchke in my collection is an inanimate object that cheers me up.

4. I wish I could hire someone to shovel snow. Obviously I could, but I'm cheap, and I figure why bother with it too much when it's just going to melt anyways?

Selfies Gone Wrong & An Upcoming Surprise #PetPhotoFails

Meows from Mudpie!

Thank you for joining us for this month's edition of the Pet Photo Fails blog hop! The weather has been getting lots better the last couple weeks, and I'm spending more and more time sunning myself at the back door. 

I'm excited too because my 10th Gotcha Day is coming up this summer, and Mommy says she's working on getting me a special gift that we can enjoy together. I wonder what she's planning? I'll fill you in when I know more! 


It seems like the majority of my bloopers come while trying to take a selfie, and this month is no exception. I don't even know what the first picture is, but it was on Mommy's camera roll!   





Those are my bloopers...let's see yours!
