NOMS Day

NOMS Day (Not of Our Species Day) is a special day for us cause we have the bestest NOMS in our family!  We know you have seen our cousins before, but we love showing them off!

 Young Neville is the newest member.

He is about 6 months old and lives with big brother Kahn.

 Neville and Kahn love to eat!

When they hear The Girl, they come running!

Our other cousins are known as "The Carrots", cause the mom misunderstood The Girl when she was talking about the ferrets.

 We Carrots do the funniest things!

 Pepe Jack shows off his yoga skills.

 While Zena Marie shows her fashion sense.

 But over all we are SO cute!

And our tummies are as cute as any kittens!

And 5 times as long.

We think there should be a Carrot Tummy Day!

Have fun seeing all the NOMS!

There is a NOMS celebration going on at the Tabby Cat Club today too, so be sure to visit.

Thankful Thursday

Hi Kitties!  Boy, are we ever glad to be back!

Our first thanks are to all our kitty friends who stopped by and helped us give the mom a welcome home gift she won't forget anytime soon.  The house was truly a disaster and you did us proud!  Great house trashing done by all!

The mom is thankful for a really great trip!  She had a Philly photographer take photos of The Girl for her upcoming college graduation, and the photos have just been posted.  They are awesome and it is going to be very difficult to narrow down to just a couple favorites.  We hope to share some soon.

We can share some new photos of our little cousins!  And our not so little cousin too.

The only way to get a photo of these two rascals is when they are sleeping or just waking up.

Their antics had us in tears and the mom hopes to share a video soon.

As soon as Kahn heard The Girl's voice he started bahing - or is it mahing?

He is loving the sweet spring grass.

Can you see where his winter coat is shedding along his flanks?

While The Girl helped bring the horses in from the fields then feed them and get them in their jammies for the night . . .

The mom was checking out the pampered barn kitties.  This one is Maverick.  What a tail he has!  Evidently he has always carried it over his back.

There were more kitties, all tabbies, in the kitchen  . . .

And even one on the dryer.

Here Bob snoopervises the chickens.

While Maverick baths and airs his belly.

All told, there are 7 or 8 barn kitties.

All are very friendly and well cared for.

The Girl and Maverick.

There's just one bad thing!

The mom says we earned the right to a BABY sitter 

when she goes to BlogPaws next week!

WHAT!

Meet our Coz

By now, you have probably met our two little cousins.

 Pepe Jack

and Zena Marie.

You may recall, The Girl took these two young ferrets in when the person who owned them could no longer keep them.

Yup, that is yawn-inducing old news!

But we know you don't know we have ANOTHER cousin

who has been a bit of a secret cause 

not even the mom knew about him until earlier this year.

So, meet Kahn!

Kahn was named for Shere Kahn, the tiger in the Jungle Book.

 Kahn, front, had a brother, Eddie.

Eddie was named for the giggly hyena in The Lion King.

Sadly, Eddie passed away unexpectedly this past January.

 

Here is Eddie with his mother, Kandy.

The Girl and Eddie.

She was heartbroken when her Eddie left.

After the boys were born, The Girl found out they were slated to go to the butcher's, so she stepped in and adopted them.  If she was to keep them, she had to get them castrated, so the vet showed her how when he did Eddie and she had the pleasure of performing Kahn's surgery.  She was SO excited!  Guys, you are forewarned!

Now it's just The Girl and Kahn, and since she is out of college, she sees him all the time!

To meet more tabbies and their family members, visit the Tabby Cat Club Tuesday, March 11th!  We know you see our kitty family all the time, so this was the purrfect time to meet our other cousins. Psst . . . we even snuck a pic of the mom in our post there.

What We Say, and the Cousins too!

This month our mom was sent some Wysong Dream Treats from Chewy.  Not only did they have cool flavors like Quail and Rabbit, they are freeze dried meat and processed without heat so the nutrients don't breakdown, which makes them purrfect snacks for dogs, cats AND ferrets!   The mom never knew this, not having ferrets herself, but they can't tolerate grains and fillers and must eat only meat.

Junior Inspector-In-Training Mica Moo

awaits orders from the chief.

The number of steps to check for hexes and curses makes her head spin,

while Chief Inspector Oui Oui finalizes the procedures.

Woo hoo!  More treats inside!

Holy Ceiling Cat!

These are some BIG treats!

It smelled good enough to lick,

how will it taste?

 OMC!  I almost ate one!

I'll hang out in the box, Chewy has the best boxes.

(See the big box?  It's our first ever Chewy box

and it's over two years old!)

She's nuts!

And could the mom have broken these into any smaller pieces?

We don't care what the size of the pieces are,

we are hoovering every last one up!

Now for our very first ever long distance review!

The mom sent the treats to The Girl

for our cousins Zena Marie & Pepe Jack to try.

ZM:  No need to take them out,

I'll just crawl right in with the treats.

 Nom, nom, nom . . .

 PJ:  I have better manners than my sister!

And I don't mind large pieces,

they won't stay that way for long!

So, Wysong's Rabbit Dream Treats were almost a purrfect 6 out of 6, but Oui Oui remembered in the nick of time that she has a reputation to protect.  We were really excited to share these treats with our little cousins and are glad they liked them so much!

So thanks, furriends, and remember - spring is just around the corner!  Which corner and how far away, we can't tell but it seems like miles!

Have a fantastic weekend, and enjoy!  

Purrs, headbonks and kitty kisses.

The opinions are our own, except for the cousins, they were entitled to their opinions too.  And none of us received anything in return for our review except for the treats.  Oh, and the box.

We Have Cousins!

We wanted to say we hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving but its apparent not everyone did.  We saw there has been some very sad news, like the passing of Tillie, while we were away, and we're sure everyone knows how sick the kitties, especially Gracie, are at Brian's Home.  We are hoping and praying they all recover soon, as we are for Tillie's loved ones.

We had quite a Thanksgiving surprise when the mom arrived at The Girl's.  We have cousins!

 Meet Zena Marie (left) and Pepe Jack (right).

Look quickly cause they don't hold still for long!

 They did like the mom's slippers.

And they love to explore, no matter what is put out for them.

Did we mention they are fast?

We hate to think of what trouble they might get into if left alone for a half hour! They make us kitties seem very well behaved and sedate.

Waking up, the faces of innocence.

The Girl agreed to take the ferrets when a friend could no longer keep them.  They are young, born last April and are brother and sister.  Now the mom isn't sure what is more fun to watch - kittens playing or ferrets romping around on their stubby little legs.  Its heresy, we say!  She tried to get videos of them, but she might have to break out the real camera for that!

We kitties were glad to see our mom.  She said all the food was good and everyone had a great time Thanksgiving day.  Now we are all glad to be back together.

Also in residence at The Girl's is Luna, 

a friend's Guinea Pig.

Luna will be staying until her owner has a place that allows pets.

It didn't take The Girl long to start her own menagerie, did it?
