Dizzy Blue Mouse

Pierre: What’s this? I hear this mouse came all the way from Miss Susan from Life with Dogs and Cats. Do you suppose her cats let it escape and it ran all the way here?

I can’t allow a mouse to be loose in my house. This won’t do.

All right, mouse, I’m going to show you what a wild ride looks like!

*SWISH*

OW! Hey, mouse, not funny when you fight back!

Do you give up yet, little mouse, do you? Do you?

I think the mouse is dizzy enough now that he’ll obey me now. Or maybe he has made me a little dizzy… but don’t tell!

Thanks, Miss Susan, for our mouse. (Actually, for more than one mouse, but Newton is hoarding the others from the camera today.)

Wordless Wednesday: Face Off Edition

Plush Ashton’s Adventures at MeowWorld

Plush Ashton is home after a long weekend spent visiting our other blogging friends at the MeowWorld/BarkWorld conference in Atlanta.

She rode in style all the way there. Is that safe, Plush Ash? We don’t see any seat belt.

On the way into Atlanta, she stopped to pick up our friends Susan from Life with Cats and Dogs and cats and Alana from Cat in the Fridge from the airport. While she waited, she got to watch the planes taxi, take off, and land.

After a long day of travel, Plush Ashton needed a snack. She found a cupcake ATM near the hotel where you can buy cupcakes 24 hours a day. Talk about a great idea!

After all the excitement of the day, it was time for some shut eye.

The next morning, plus Ashton was ready bright an early for the conference.

A sign told her that it was for social petworkers. The head peep said that sounded a little bit like they were working in a coal mine for their pets. We don’t care where she works as long as she brings home the cat food.

Plush Ashton had some really great roommates. They were foster kittens brought to the conference by our good friend Jeanne from Random Felines. These 10 week old kittens were the first cats she had ever met who were her own size.

At first, little Sangria and her brother, Stoli, were shy.

But they learned that iPads weren’t just for humans to use

Plush Ashton also hd a brush with fame when she met the famous Waffles.

All too soon, after not enough time visiting with our friends, it was time for Plush Ashton to say farewell to Atlanta.

But she brought back a little something to remember the weekend by.

We think that actual Ashton is going to enjoy that little gift from Waff very much as she continues her tradition of species-inappropriate foods.

Celebrating a Happy Halloween

Ashton: The head peep may have packed her bags and skipped town to go to the Cat Writers Association/BarkWorld conference, but we didn’t forget.

Pierre: Lucky for us, in my entire life, there has only been one trick-or-treater who came to the door here, so we won’t have to work Aunt O. too hard answering the door. And we won’t have to hide from people knocking on the door.

Newton: Why do you think they don’t come here? I love visitors, and I would like it if we had people coming to the door tonight!

Ashton: You’re weird, Newton.

Newton: You’re one to talk, miss hides-from-everybody. You don’t know what you’re missing out on.

Pierre: *sigh* You two are acting like a couple of kittens.

Newton: At least Aunt O. won’t try to put costumes on us for Halloween photos.

Pierre: Thank goodness. It’s better if we just have our photos taken for Halloween without all of the extra fuss. No costumes, no silly Photoshop tricks, Just cats, the way it should be.

Newton: Darn right. Have a safe and Halloween, everyone!
