Carnival of the Cats #580

I get to host again from over the Rainbow Bridge with a little help from Mog. No pics of me cause I am dead. So on with the Carnival.

WOFFAL explained as only Sneakers can. LOL. Good thing I am doing this and not Mog cause best she not share her WOFFAL.

StrangeRanger gives a big Thank You for all the support. Carnival of the Cats is first with much appreciation for his friend Kiril.

Over at Sparkle Cat, Summer posts some adorable outtakes. It reminds Mog of all the fun she had taking pics of me. She’s now following Summer on Instagram although she rarely uses it herself. Ritzi is boring to photograph, always laying on Mog’s tummy.

At Marian Allen’s blog is an interesting tale of her cat who died and came back as another cat. Marian is a creative writer.

CatSynth features a cat sitting on a synthesizer. Not Luna but he’s a pretty kitty anyway.

Brian’s Home features Selfie Sunday with Brian and links to lots of pretty kitties. He’s a cutie too.

In the Selfie Sunday spirit, here’s Finnegan of Animal Shelter Volunteer Life. I love Selfie Sunday almost as much as Easy like Sunday Morning.

Traveling Cats features lots of cats from Ghent, Belgium. Pretty cats, adoptable too. They live in a unique shelter on a boat.

At 15 and Meowing, the cats play with Weebles. It looks like fun. Why didn’t I get any Weebles to play with when I was alive?

Marks Mews features Marley and Ayla enjoying an easy Sunday of togetherness. Aw! So cute.

Melissa’s Mochas, Mysteries and Meows goes shopping with Truffles. It’s part of a blog hop pricing different items in various parts of the world. It’s interesting to the humans.

Spring, fresh air, kitties looking out the window at I Have 3 Cats bring back fond memories. My mom, Ritz, likes to look out the window when not laying on Mog or rolling around outside.

Ritzi looking out the window

Mog actually posted a pic of Ritzi being very therapeutic. Cat makes a great heating pad.

Carnival of the Cats #559

We did a switch-up, Elvira and I, so now it’s my turn to host. And since it was Thanksgiving last week, sharing a pin Mog nabbed off her Twitter feed. That woman can pin from everywhere. I’m amazed mom let her tweet as she is usually so demanding of her lap time. She never liked sharing period. Why she is only cat now. Still, I miss my human. I’ll see her again someday. For her and my family and friends, I am very grateful.

Lots of beautiful pics of Maddie this past Thanksgiving over at ChezRanger. Fond of the licky, sniffy, stack pics. And sun puddles, they are the best napping spots.

Daddy Kiril shares two tales about the cat with no tail. They’re sequential. First this one then read the other one. I haven’t had such a moving adventure in years.

Competition here: Summer presents The Caturday Report. Couple things, I adore the greeting cards, Summer is such a beauty. And thankful too, for more than just turkey. She’s got quite a lovely list.

Munchkin and Amidala have been released from exile. I can relate, we all were exiled from Mog’s bedroom. She would never get any sleep with eight cats in her bed. Now just one, mom Ritzi. She’s definitely not allowed in there.

Cat snoozing on a synthesizer and it’s not Luna. She’s a good kitty.

Love Brian’s selfie. He’s so cute!

Giving thanks for sweet Evangeline and Beth who took her in so she would have a home her last days on earth. She is up here with me, running free. PAWS, you rock for giving kitties a home.

Samantha’s blog is all decked out for Christmas and she ls taking it easy. She deserves a rest after all that decorating.

We have a Traveling Cat, this one a beauty from Greece.

Of interest to us kitties, noms and Jan’s kitties taste test some new ones. Mom will have to try these as they look yummy.

Rascal and Rocco give thanks for all the things us kitties give thanks for.

I am thankful for kitties that will host the carnival. And for Kiril for the links to the blogs. I chose the post except for Maddie who always enters without one of us hunting her down. Next week’s host is Tuxedo Gang Hideout. Submit your kitties to carnivalofthecats(at)gmail.com to enter.

Carnival of the Cats #551

Mog forgot a date when posting the schedule so it’s up to me to fill it. Someone has to and Ritzi is doing it next week. Sorry for it being late. Ritzi lay on Mog until she was too tired to help me type. And since I am otrb, I was unable to nudge her awake when she fell asleep at the keyboard.

So on with the show. Sneakers goes boxing. Wonder what’s up? I wouldn’t mind a few myself. Boxing is fun.

Some writing hints passed on by Mr Nikita before he passed on. All good except for the Microsoft Word part. Not the thing on a Mac.

Elvira plugs both Nikita’s last post but also the carnival which is in need of hosts for next year. Mog will have the schedule up soon.

Summer had an eventful weekend at the cat show.. Go see how eventful. Way to go Summer!

When it comes to outtakes, there are no bad photos when it comes to Summer, adorable in all.

Sweetie Pie Turner visits the vet and she doesn’t like it. Wonder why?

CatSynth has a lovely pic of Cleo and a synthesizer.

Lissette lounges among the electronics.

Flappy birds interrupt the sleep of the cats at Brian’s Home with their interpretation of Dancing with the Stars. Wish there had been video.

Sister Precious has her own TV, lucky cat. You won’t believe what she likes watching. Mom and I prefer the birds.

Liam is a handsome cat who would love a home with lots of couch time. And unlike mom, he gets along with other kitties.

Samantha is deep in thought, wonder about what. She’s beautiful thinking or not.

This lovely cat is from Paris, France. And getting in the mood for Halloween, he is in a cemetery.

Another traveling cat is spotted near an abandoned subway station in Belgium. Cats can be found in the strangest places.

Including making his kid’s lunch. Rascal or Rocco, can’t tell which is the helpful kitty.

That’s it for this week. Thanks all for entering and a big thank you to Kiril for his help in rounding up cats. Next week’s host is iInfidel. Submit your kitties to carnivalofthecats(at)gmail.com.

Carnival of the Cats #546

We is getting desperate having dead cats host from the other side of the rainbow bridge. And speaking of the deceased, tributes to Sparkle the Designer Cat keep pouring in.

Sparkle Forever

The Elvira Factor is back and it is totally in appreciation of all Sparkle did and say. Sparkle has even commented on their blog too – 287 times. Think on that.

In other news, Elvira reports on the Women in the Pet Industry Network awards.

Elvira shares a story about one of Nikita’s first memories and a poem. I do love happy endings.

Introducing Summer who is taking over the vacancy over at Sparkle’s blog, huge job but seeing as how adorable she is, she just may fill it nicely.

Sparkle left a will leaving it all to… you have to read it. And Summer got to go on a trip to the vet.

When not visiting the vet, Summer brings us the Caturday Report.

Maddie is back to blogging and sharing her favorite obsession. She is not alone in that obsession, not a few cats have enjoyed such things. Not Mom, she abhors the things and avoids them every chance she gets.

Samantha is taking it easy something which I do all the time. Well, almost all the time… mmm… dead, ok all the time.

Sweetie Pie Turner shares her favorite thing. It’s not what you might expect either. Not me anyway, my favorite thing is to get love. And chase birds.

Luna is documenting art, something called Mensa Cats, something about very smart kitties.

Brian features a T.G.I.F. pic that is well somewhat scaled back on the ferocity of these cats.

Here’s Elvira, a different Elvira than you usually expect, up for adoption.

Jumping cats, trained jumping cats, that’s a new one but there they are at the Nga Phe Kyaung monastery in Myanmar.

More traveling cats, this time in Havana, Cuba, they are everywhere.

Even more traveling cats, if you count moving. The Bengal Brats have moved. Let’s welcome them in their new home.

That’s all for this carnival. Next weeks edition is at The Opinionated Pussycat. We still need hosts for Oct 5 and 12. Come on kitties, you know you want to host. Here’s your chance. Email Mog at carnivalofthecats(at)gmail.com to enter a kitty or to host. She does check her email occasionally.

As for me, I’m getting back to meeting Sparkle. She’s one awesome cat.

Carnival of the Cats #455

Hosting for the last time from the bridge. Time to let the deceased rest. Maybe we can get some new kitties to host next year. Mog is slowly taking host requests, I say slowly as she hasn’t even filled out the calendar. Details here.

Now for a pic, can’t have a bare, naked carnival. It’s Ritzi, my mom… in my spot.

mom relaxing

Mog posted a little of my mom too, enjoying herself in my absence.

What do we have here? Snorfy needs a new friend, or is that knead. Too cute.

Cokie is hosting a Holiday Cats Photo Contest. No cute holiday pics here. I doubt I could get mom to pose pretty for the camera. And I’m not available.

A belated Happy Birthday to Luna. May you have many more.

She’s still celebrating too. What else is a cat to do on a rainy weekend? Smart cat!

Gree does up Caturday right proper. So does Pepi. Ah, those were the days. I do so miss my Sally.

Nikita created a most clever Catmas poem. I’m in it too, whee!

And Elvira tells a story, just have to read that one. I’m not in that one thou.

Maddie nearly gave John, her human, a coronary. Cat’s been known to do that from time to time. Both are fine now. Good.

That’s all for now, thanks all for entering. Next week’s host is Luna over at CatSynth.

Carnival of the Cats #448

Meowza here, from the other side, doing hosting duties again. This week it’s the carnival. Yes, I know, no pic yet. iPhoto crashed and Mog went out for the evening.

Ah, all fixed now and here am I before I was. Fixed that is. I was one happy kitten back then, two days shy of being three months old.

me happy kitten

Humor me, these kitties got jobs in this economy. Doubt there are many jobs for the dead as we have everything we could possibly need here except for our humans.

There’s a new book out about feral cats, Fairminded Fran and the Three Small Black Community Cats, looks to be a children’s book, wonder if Nikita will want to do a review.

Luna relaxes in her own puddle of sunshine, ah sweet repose. Nice claws.

If one is to have an introoder, make it one like Patches here, one handsome tuxie. Some great shots of Maddie and Ivy too, they know what it’s like to have an introoder.

Here’s two kitties who have it worked out, Samantha and Clementine.

Susie is getting her easy on, sweet.

Nikita cleans the carpet, well watches anyway while Elvira hides in the closet. Mog had another kitty that did the same thing when she moved, funny that. The ladies think alike.

Elvira shuttles off to LAX with Nikita, both happily sedated. Nice group shot of them with their daddy.

They got their new computer just in time too, they are hosting next week.

Carnival of the Cats #439

For this teeniest of carnivals, a teeny picture of me when I was a little kitten.

Izzy and me

Well, maybe not so little. We were almost three months old and even then it was obvious we liked to play.

Nikita and Elvira survived an earthquake, blogged all about it too. I’ll leave it to you to find out how they did.

A pretty impressive display of ninja skillz by Ivy here. Possibly outdoing even me.

Maggie and Milo do synchronized stretching. They should have entered the olympics, such skilled athletes they be.

That’s all for this week. Next week’s hosts are Samantha, Clementine & Maverick. submit your post here or email carnivalofthecats(at)gmail.com.

Carnival Is Here Sunday

Despite being dead and happily enjoying being over the bridge, I am hosting Sunday.

Email your cats/cat posts to carnivalofthecats(at)gmail.com as Blog Carnival tends to be unreliable. Thankies.

Carnival of the Cats #432

Is being hosted here from the Bridge. So since there is no picture taking here, here’s one of Mog’s favorites from last year. Always got to have pics.

me checking out the tree

First up the cutest little pair of kittens down under. They are far from Ritzi’s grasp, hiss, spit, bite, swat. You get the picture. Why there no little kittens here.

More cats here too, all adopted. Warms my heart people take these adorable animals into their homes. Mog’s intrigued by the one named MacIntosh for some odd reason.

Luna poses with highway signs. You can rest easy no cats were harmed in this project.

Nikita and Elvira bring us the latest mews, er news for cats of course. Some of which is disturbing. I prefer cats getting adopted.

We like treats too as Diamond Emerald-Eyes demonstrates. Keep safe from that storm, better to be in eating treats methinks.

Eating and sleeping, that’s the life as Samantha and Clementine aptly demonstrate. Love the look Samantha. Now what would make this perfect would be petting and skritching.

That’s all for this week. Next week’s host are Nikita and Elvira.

Weekend Happenings

My girlfriend Sally, who I miss terribly, is hosting Weekend Cat Blogging this weekend. Seventh Anniversary too.

And my mom Ritzi, the most fractious cat ever, is hosting Carnival of the Cats.

Mog took thousands of pictures of me, one of which is this on from April 17 just a few days before I crossed. Can’t take pics of me here so these old ones will have to suffice.

me sleeping

Hope everyone has an enjoyable weekend especially Sally. Life is fleeting so enjoy the simple pleasures before crossing over. Many kitties await their humans here.

So now Mog leaves to go pet my mom. Or chat about us angel kitties, one or the other. The chatzy room is open.
