Get the Panic Mouse!

A very old toy emerged from our coat closet, so old that the head peep had to clean corroded battery contacts to make it work again. The panic mouse is kind of an interactive cat toy for people who don’t want to wave a wand around. It had been so many years since the cats had seen it, they approached it like it was new again.

Newton: What’s this? It’s noisy, and it’s moving!

Pierre: It’s moving!

Newton: But it’s noisy….

Newton: And it flips that thing in my face. Whoa!

Newton: This one is yours, Pierre.

Pierre: No problem, I’ve got this.

Ashton: I’m not going anywhere near any of that.

Pierre: You are such a girl! I have this. Check out this move.

Pierre: I can’t wait to get my teeth into it!

Pierre: Got you! *Chomp*

Pierre: I’m putting the big bitey on you now, panic mouse!

Arrrggghh! *Chomp* *Chomp*

Pierre: See? I told you. I have it under control.

Giveaway Time!

We’ve mentioned Pawalla, a box-of-cat-goodies-a-month service, in previous blog posts. Sadly, we got an email last week that the service was ending, and we still had five months left on our subscription. To their credit, we have received our remaining Pawalla boxes last week. They arrived over three different days, which was kind of like having a little cat Christmas over and over again.

Pierre: Another Pawalla box? We just got one yesterday. Score! What’s in here?

Newton: I don’t think you’re supposed to be doing that, Pierre. We’re supposed to pose with the contents.

Pierre: We can’t pose with things while they’re in the box, can we?

Newton: I’m not participating in this. Get a picture. Someone else is being naughty. You can’t blame me for this one.

Pierre: Whatever. Oh! This thing has feathers!

Newton: Time to line up for photos. Pierre!

Pierre: Just a little nibble?

Newton: No nibbling!

Pierre: This is the best you get. If you try to stand up that ball in the middle up, I’m going for the nip again.

We shared the contents of three of the Pawalla boxes with some of our local friends, and we have agreed to give away the contents of the other Pawalla boxes to our blogging friends. Well, all of us agreed but Pierre, but he was outvoted. Quickly, before Pierre eats it all, we want to tell you about our giveaway!

This giveaway is open to our friends all around the world. We love our friends without blogs (FWBs), and you don’t have to have a blog to enter (but we do think it’s a good idea if you have a cat!). Just make sure we have some way to reach you.

Catnip from Country Cousin

We promise that none of it has been pre-tasted by Pierre.

Wordy Wednesday

The man in blue shorts brought us a package!

Pierre: It doesn’t smell edible. What’s the big fuss?

It’s a Starry Night-inspired painting by the amazing Quint, of the Colehaus Cats. We love it, even though it isn’t something we can eat!

When Pierre finishes posing with it, the head peep is going to put it up on a cat-inaccessible shelf in our living room so we can all enjoy looking at it.

Thank you for sharing your artistic talent with us, Quint!
