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!

Sayonara For Now!

Wednesday the mom heads to Las Vegas for BlogPaws and we kitties thought we'd have another house trashing party since the mom didn't learn her lesson last week, but guess what? 

We have a BABY sitter!  What the?!  And guess who the babysitter is?  The Girl!  So, guess what else?  We are having the house trashing party anyway cause she is a push over and likes to sleep late. 

 I'll be walking around The Girl's head first thing in the morning

instead of the mom's.

Well, we aren't going to let her do that either cause you know we take breakfast seriously, but we should gets lots of trashing done when she's asleep, so kitties, come on over!

Thanks to everyone for the purrs for Julie.  She is still limping and is unsteady on her feet so the mom would feel better knowing what the doctor says before she leaves.  So Julie is going to be stuffed into the PTU to be looked at.  Poor girl!  We'll update if needed, but no news will be good news.  The Girl has years of experience working at the mom's vet and she has very good judgment so the mom feels comfortable leaving us with her.

To all our friends going to BlogPaws, Bon Voyage!  To our friends who are staying home, we wish you could have been there!  And to the home bound kitties, Behave!  NOT!

Lovely Sun

After a hard and very cold January and February, we finally had some fine weather, with temperatures in the 50's (around 13 C) this weekend.

How lovely and warm it felt to be in the sun!

It was even warm enough for a little mid-siesta bath.

Ah!  What more could a little tabby want?

Alas!

This is what we had the last 2 days:

It's back to frigid temps and

We begin to think spring will NEVER get here!

But we are so pleased to say, in our little mini break

the mom got all the yearly green papers cursing over with

and they are with the accountant.

AND she booked flights and a room, she is going to BlogPaws!

We so hope to see our furriends there!

Our furriends are absolutely the bestest part!

If that isn't the silver lining of this icky winter,

we don't know what is.
