Mother's Day 2013


We made you this card with our own little paws.  And a few extra large ones (Sam, Buddy, Rusty).

Okay, truth be told, Jan made this card but we asked her to.  That's the same as making it ourselves, isn't it!  If we hadn't asked, she wouldn't have thought of it till after Memorial Day.  So it's our card to all mothers - birth mothers, adopters, hu-moms of furries - from all of us.

Happy Mother's Day!

Merci, Cyndi, Percy, Cameron, Buddy, Rusty, Sam & Micah
and Jan too

Cat Blogger Auditions


Yes, we are making some changes in the way we handle cat blogger interviews and we're  holding auditions for cat bloggers.  Don't panic if you can't quilt or play the trumpet.  These aren't real auditions.  We're just going to give readers a chance to become more involved in which bloggers we interview.  So far, our system has generally been ... well, strange.  We'd like to interview all the bloggers and don't want to be biased, so we've been mainly picking them at random from our bookmark list.

Despite months of juggling several prospects at a time, things happen beyond our control (and those being interviewed) and the unthinkable happened.  Last week none of our prospects responded and we didn't have an interview to publish.  This week we had one but this was an inconvenient week (for them) to publish.

So here we are again without an interview to post.  And this is why we came up with the idea to hold a casting call, which basically just means we are offering more reader participation. 



We have several upcoming bloggers at various stages of the interview process  - anywhere from delayed because of personal circumstances  to only just accepted. 

You can read more about our casting call post, Cat Blogger Casting Call, on Mousebreath.

No Picasso Either

Hey, Rusty here.  Excuse me one moment. Jan gave me a treat so I need to eat it before the ants find it first.  Not polite to talk with a full mouth, you know.  Not that this tiny treat would fill any kitty's mouth.  But waste not and you might get seconds.  (Except around Jan.)

Today is the Thankful Thursday blog hop.  Last week Cameron posted Not a Rembrandt and mentioned there would be a second part to that post.  This is it.

Jan actually had an opportunity to design TWO canvases for our walls - the 16x20" we posted last week and a smaller one.  This is the 8x10".   It's kind of hard to read the print in this small version of it but there are 4 grace-related Bible verses on it. 


Now if we can just motivate her to hang them, preferably not in front of the computer screen or we won't be able to post.  But somewhere she can see them and be encouraged to look upward on those days when her head is dragging on the floor.

Sunday Smile with Percy

Hey, Percy here with a reminder of my Fix it or Fry it business.  Whichever you want, I aim to please.  So call me at .... *um, Jan, what is our phone number?  It's just been disconnected?  This minute?  I don't think so!  I can hear it ringing, a bit muffled, but ringing.*

Sorry, I'll have to get back to you on the phone number  Meanwhile, you can leave a comment for me.

I wanted to show you the really delicious morsels I'm having for lunch.  *No, I didn't say anything, Jan.  Just thinking out loud.*

These little guys were orphaned.  Aren't they cute?
