Emu for You?

Two of the three baby emus catching a bath.
These wonderful birds are just amazing, from their beaks to their feets!

Mr. Chewy Delivers The Goods~

 

I know their tagline is that they deliver Pet Happiness but really?
What they really deliver is Pet Owner Happiness

We were honored to receive a gift certificate to try their services. 
I was a bit hesitant at first given that they aren't offering a 'product' to review.  But holy cats! 
What they do offer is a huge selection of pet food, treats, litter, etc! 

And they aren't kidding when they tell you that if you spend $49 -(really?  Like my monthly PetCo trips aren't at least double that!) -they pay the shipping.  Sweet!

I ordered the Royal Canin SO for bladder health.  Miss Jenga refuses wet food and so I thought I'd try the RC as opposed to the Hill's brand I get at my vets (why? well, my vet doesn't always have the size I need, when I need it prompting me to make more than one trip to them when my errand list for my cats is already quite long) 
So, I chose the RC.  I got an email right away from their extremely nice and courteous staff letting me know I need a prescription for this food. 

I balked.  

Then I kept reading All they asked for was my Vet's name and phone number and/or email.  THEY would do the calling to get the information and fill the order! 

And they DID! 
  The email from my vet saying they would authorize the purchase came well after the email from Mr. Chewy saying the order was filled & being shipped!!!  

I am amazed.  And thrilled.  And I  whole heartedly recommend you try them!  

Yes they gave me a coupon to try them out but DUDES  they totally delivered on every item in record time (two days) and I didn't have to lift a finger!
PAWSOME! 

I will be using them again! 

xoxo
Ciao!

This Widdle Piggy!

make sure your speakers are up.  This widdle piggy luuuurrrves his bellie rubbins~!

Happy Valentines Day! 

On Second Thought



maybe it's good we didn't go with That Woman & The Gurl!

That Woman say's she's got some funny videos of these guys (Emus) taking a bath too.
PLUS a very funny one of a giant pig gettin' a bellie rub.

She'll be posting the photos of the visit with Katnip Lounge soon after they sort thru some
300 images. Good Cod they are nuts!

That Woman said that Gracie was the one she wanted to snuggle into her bag & bring home. SUCH a giant lover kittie!

gotta run, the mutants are out!
(I knew we shoulda sent the mutants to Arizona, I would have LOVED to seen a vid of the Emus eating meeting them!)

Ms. Stella



P.S.
Most of you who read this blog prolly already know there is an auction going on for Miss Teri & Coco over here:
I've donated a CatNip Quilt.
It's #22 I think.

Silly Human

Don't think for one minute that giving me my woobie right out of the dryer to snuggle my pea-pod self in gets you off the hook for your intended abandonment (and subsequent philandering).




just don't even.

Can U Keeps A Secret?

We are very excited. (well, the Royal WE are not excited, but the plebian slaves are excited)  Next week around Thoughtful Thursday, That Woman and The Gurl are making a 4 hour drive to see their Great, Great Grandma and mom in Arizona!!!  Great, Great Gram is 92!   She still Bingo's every friday at the Casino's and enjoys her grandchildren & great grandchildren (and great, great grandchildren) for holidays.



That Woman & The Gurl couldn't make it at Christmastime so they are going now. Mom Milli is, well, she's still young enough it's not polite to say exactly...  Milli is excited too owing to the fact that she has a new rescue goggie name Bijou.  She has cats too and Emu's and all kinds of animals on her ranch.  I love it when they come home with alla different smells!  It takes my poor nose days to recover from alla sniffing.

 whaddaya mean "am I packed?"



But do you know what that means? (Other than the fact that we will all be spoiled rotten by our petsitter)?   Once there they will only be a hop, skip and a jump to the Katnip Lounge!   That's right!  They haz planned to rendezvous secretly and make a donation of two ornj kitties stop to say Hi to the Lounge servants.  They are fairly giggly about this whole adventure.   Even though they will be cheating on alla us, personally I'm happy to have That Woman out from under my four feet.

So we'll be layin off the blog and visiting this week while they gets ready and when they come back (if we let them in...)  That Woman will have plenty to transcribe from my notes as to all the going's on around here whilst they were out philandering! 

Loves & rubs & purrs to alla you! 
C U Soon!
xoxo

Do You Remember What You Were Doing?

The Day The Mutants came?
Oh HAI Stellie!!!Make 'em go away...

That's me there, on the far right.  Right about then I was thinking...

"Will you get a load of this?  The cheek of that Ornj goon?"

"I really must speak to That Woman about this impertinance."

*Oh Miss Stella, for heaven's sake, you can have my chair all right?* 

*sigh* "I dunno, lemme think... if you toss in a couplea treats I think we shall have an accord." 

"Stella, you really need to lay off watching Pirates of the Carribean."  

"TREATS?? CHAIR?? FOCUS WOMAN!"

"Oh all right! Sometimes you really are the D.I.V.A."

That's better!

ARRRRRRRRRRR!

The King Has Proclaimed!

King Spitty has decreed that we (oh, he was sure to graciously include the two ornj goons and since we don't want any Royal Repercussions we (meaning I) will include them too.) be humbly bestowed this most auspicious honor! 
Thanks Sir Spitz~

Versatile Blogger Award 

These are the VBA rules:
  • Thank the person who gave you this award. That’s common courtesy. (check)
  • Include a link to their blog. That’s also common courtesy — if you can figure out how to do it.(check)
  • Next, select 15 blogs/ however many bloggers that you’ve recently discovered or follow regularly.  (ummmm. check)
  • Nominate those 15  bloggers for the Versatile Blogger Award. (check)
  • Finally, tell the person who nominated you 7 things about yourself. (check)
Since I too think 15 is too many, I'm following Spitty's lead and going for the 
 Fantastic Five:

Now for my Seven Things (now really... here's where I could go on all day!)
1.  I am 15 human years old which makes me like a skillion in Cat years... BUT!  I play like a baby kitty and can still jump 4 feet in the air! (on the grass outside, don't worry,) That Woman keeps such a microscopic eye on my every movement (if you catch my meaning) I'm exhausted just thinking about it.  See?  
2.  I come running for Tuna juice or the treat bag, which ever comes first. (And believe you, me! It's not nearly often enough!)  Meantime, mashed potatos and gravy are always welcome or one of these when they are fresh>>>
  
3. It is NOT true that I spend my hours napping so often that I am confused with small wooden carvings. I give the following example...  


I know, not even close right!

4.  I am often confused with my housemates, so here is a photo of each of ME>   (there will be test later)
NOT ME>>This is Jenga

ME ME ME >>>

NOT ME>>>Miss Jenga again!


ME ME ME>>>


NOT ME>>>>This is That Scrappy Cat my arch nemesis!

NOT ME AGAIN! > A very surprised Miss Jenga

And I get this one ALL THE TIME!!!  SO not me!>>> Miss Jack

I lied, the post is too long, there will be no final examination. 
5.   I have been called CATZILLA by some very unrespectful mongrels and I assure you, they have paid the price!  Here is a photo of the offending vermin. I have mounted their heads on my Cat tree.

 6.   I don't snuggle, so That Woman just stop trying ok?  Save her blood for the full transfusion she will need if those vermin remain here much longer.

 how serious is this face???
See what happened to that last cat that introoded onto my woobie?  I have locked her in the mirror!, and my other self stands guard to keep her there!

                                                                                                     
 (cue ebil laffters)                  MUUAHHAHAHAHAAaa!
7.  Lastly,  let's see.  I love visiting my blog friends and have over 300 on my blogroll.  It may take a while for me to catch up and I don't always comment but I ALWAYS appreciate the postings as it makes our giant world just that much cozier. 
not that I'm into cozy...I DID make that clear.  Just, figuratively cozier.   Thanks for reading all the way down, I tried to make it more entertaining with photos. 
Ciao!

Life Lessons From Ms. Stella

So Here I am Kitties, surveying my domain, when yet again; I am accosted by plebeians!
*sigh*
A Queen's work is never done I'm afraid.
His name ( I'm told such things have names) is Ollie.
Ollie is not the freshest treat in the bag
 Observe closely his countenance.  Note the sloped forehead, wide set eyes, vacant expression. You can see the number of IQ points on his face can't you?
(this is a rhetorical question, of course you can't, as there aren't any )

"BBUUwwhaaaHAHAHAHA.... ahhh...hahah... ahHEM... I crack myself up"
Anyhow...

Since he persists in pestering me for lessons on attack skills, I will again attempt to enlighten the wee mite. I   I enlist a guinea pig  helper. 
*Note: it's important to enlist the help of someone the neophyte knows to prevent intimidation and therefore lack of proper concentration*

Here is Elliott, he is marginally brighter than his siblicat.
And thus, We begin...
 
Ms. Stella:  "You there! Fluffy raggish thing.  Are you ready to assist in training your fellow littermate?"

Elliott: " Oh Yes, If It Please Your Majesty!"

Ms. Stella: "Good boy!"

Ms. Stella: "O-lolliberry? Observe please the correct whapping technique."

Ms. Stella continues: "When the intended victim target wanders close enough you need to reach out with your paw (that's the thing with the five sharps at the end of your leg there) and whap them like THIS!"

Elliott: "Oh Thank You Your Royal Highness, may i have another?"

Ms. Stella: "In My own time fluffy, heel!." 

Elliott: "Oh Thank You Majesty!"

Elliott: "Oh dear faithful viewers, you may wish to avert your gaze from HRH."  
 
Ms. Stella: "All right now O-whateveryournamewas...  it's your turn, you may approach Our Royal presence."



later that same day...

Ms. Stella: "It's back again isn't it?"




ECS ALERT!

Kitties!
This is a test of the Emergency Cat- Broadcast System
(here after to be known as the ECS)


Something haz started over at my good friend Nellie's House!
I know Miss Nel is madd as a wet cat! BUT, if this thing spreads we will ALL be at risk!

BLOG RATIONING!
yes, you read that right... RATIONING (as IF!)

What in the name of Hello Kitty is her human thinking???

I tole Nellie,   I says:
You tell yer mum that if no sleep, cranky humans and rabid comment checking is good for the rest of them it's good enuf for hers too!  I mean where does she get off? 
Three measly days (out of at least elebenity squillion hours a week)
to our beloved Nellie?
The NERVE!  AND what's WORSE? 
oh yes, it's worse... 
During those pathetic few minutes she gives, she is really
setting an example!
She's gonna be givin alla humans room to whine uncontrollably! 

Oh I can just hear it now

"But Ms. Stella, I'm  soo tiiiiired, Nellies mom has a chart!..."
"But Mr. Spitfire, I have to earn money to buy you treats too just like Nellies mom"

"But Mr. Diskers... be reasonable! I'm sure Ms. Stella has a room papered with photos of you already!"

"But- (looking at all 13 of her owners)- A girl haz to have time to coordinate such fashion wonders!"

well, OK, so maybe that last one was stretching it a bit by her own admission,
but you get the idea!

we'll have a revolution on our paws and before you know it they'll be rioting!

We must ACT! 
(and you can see that ACT and CAT have the same letters!  It's a sign!)

 Time is now!


We must nip this in the BUD
 (extra points if you are old enough to remember the actor famed for saying that!)

Ok all you kitties out there whose rights will be infringed upon
Go, Now!
Make Posters!
Make Flyers!
Let your voices be HEARD!

I've done my job; I've alerted
Now this lert needs a nap
to ruminate on further ideas of quashing this sedition
