Our Blogpaws Photos

We are a week behind everyone else posting about Blogpaws!  There's not much more we can add, and most kitties have said it better than we ever could.  This year was way better than last year.  Clearly the Blogpaws folks heard last year's kitties loud and clear!

The hotel was amazing!  This is looking up the at plantings in the 3 story lobby.

 You never knew who you might meet at breakfast.

Oh My Cod!  What a sweet little face!  And those ears!

 Celebrities were everywhere!

Coco was styling.

Of course, we expected no less.

Waffles in his Waffles Wagon had his own following.

Was Elvis in the building?

No, but a capybara was!  It was so well behaved!  It walked better on a leash than most dogs (at least the ones the mom has owned).  And no barking.

 And check out those feet!

There was a drawer full of swag!  We donated a bag of it to Katnip Lounge to help out with The Baby's bills and also some to our local TNR group.

Amazing all the wonderful bloggers we had a chance to meet and connect with!*

 This fish was in the lobby and a young man laughingly told the mom his family had a joke about his sister's boyfriend whom they hadn't met.  They referred to him as "Frank".

 The mom made kitty ears with Dino, founder of Triberr.

He was a keynote speaker and a real sweetheart.

The best part started with a kitty blinged out car trip.

 Because the visit was on Sunday, there was just Layla 

of Cat Wisdom 101 in the mom's group.

It was SO cool to have these two amazing cat ladies all to myself!

We met all the stars of the Catio, including the most recent addition, the rhino.

The Baby was feeling better and took us hunting for lizards.   She shared all her favorite hunting spots with us.

Handsome kitties were hanging out everywhere!

We even saw the hummingbird nest!  Sorry momma bird, your house keeping skills are lacking.  (There was a lot of poo in the nest.  I guess hummingbird poo was a first too.)

There was a bit of action when Scouty's Dad

put his hand through the kitty flap

and sent him into orbit.  (You might need to biggify.)
But we were honored to see Scouty!

Hey!  I could have gotten this treatment at home!

 Afterwards the mom headed to the Venetian on The Strip.

It was so beautiful!  Below is the golden lion in the rotunda.

The mom had never seen so many slot machines!  They were every so many feet in the airport, in hotel lobbies, even in gas stations!

 Flying home, the airplane went to LA first

and banked over the Pacific Ocean.

That's Santa Monica the girl sitting next to the mom said.

The mom thought that could be the Little Colorado River.

Most of the country was cloud covered.   Not a good sign for the upcoming weather back East.  This was flying down the Potomac River heading to Washington DC.

 We even saw a rainbow before touching down at Dulles

- a beautiful end to a beautiful trip.

 And Mica Moo helped unpack.

*  I'm sorry, I copied this photo from another blog and would like to credit it but don't remember where I saw it.  GJ's dad took the photo, and I thought no feelings would be hurt since most of us in the photo didn't have our cameras and were hoping to have a copy shared with us.  If it is a problem, I will gladly take it down.  Mea culpa!
