It's been this kinda day: CAT GIFS!

I'm neck deep in preparing for ICE, so enjoy some cat GIFs while I hot glue my eyelids open to stay awake so I can get everything done! ;D

 

 

 

Stoic Stinker

I forgot I had taken this photo until just now coming across it on my computer. I caught Stinker one day just chilling on this pillar, looking at who knows what. I also have no idea why there is an outside temperature gauge on that shelf, but now you know how cold the house is. [and why I'm always cold!]

I'm just going to leave this here...

Creeper Turned One!!

Last Saturday Creeper turned one!  He is so big--I'm pretty sure he is heavier than Stinker now.

As a birthday present, my mother bought him a catnip bird that is motion activated to chirp.  He loves it...I can't wait until the battery dies. ;D

You'll notice that he is now way too cool to let me take his picture.  pfffft

Crafts and Cats Motivational Posters

I hope a lot of you were able to participate in  Elycia's and Chantilly's craft night they had on Tuesday. [if you missed it, you can find the recording of it here] I unfortunately missed it, but the girls made sure I was there in spirit. If you watch the video that thing taped to the mirror behind them...yeah, that's me. Creepin' with my Creeper!  I sent them 3 silly photos to choose from and thought I would share them here with you all today.  I'm going to try and make my own cute felt camera this weekend.  [link me to yours if you made the event!]

Sleepy Creeper

Just a little sleepy cat for the day. Trust me, non-cat content will be coming soon. haha

Cute Cats

I think it's time for some cute cat photos.  yep

What I Wore: ACRO-CATS!

Outfit Details

Dress: Forever21

Skull Jacket: Ebay

Red Tights:c/o We Love Colors

Blk/Grey Knee Hights: c/o We Love Colors

Boots: Bodyline

Monocle Necklace: handmade by me

I first heard about the Acro-Cats on the TV show Must Love Cats. I don't think the show is on anymore-- the host was also pretty insufferable. However, the Acro-Cats were great! So when Matt said they were coming to town, I knew we had to go see them! 

Samantha fosters and adopts cats and clicker trains them to do cute tricks. She then takes the show on the road to raise awareness about clicker training, and to also find homes for the foster cats. Aside from the Acro-Cats there is also Tuna and the Rock Cats! They are a 4 cat and one hen band!

The show was so cute, and sometimes a bit surreal. Unfortunately, they were playing at a venue right in Little 5 Points on the day of the L5P Halloween event/parade, so their turnout was really low. [besides the 7 of us they went together, there was only 2 other people] I know there are fellow crazy cat ladies that read my blog, so if you have a chance to see Samantha and her Acro-Cats, I would recommend checking them out! [there is a list of tour dates on the site] You can tell she really cares for each and every cat and I think it's great she's made it her mission to find homes for so many of them.

Oh, and if you do get a chance to see the show, definitely buy a cat toy [or 5] from the merch table! They weren't kidding when they said the catnip inside was potent. I bought my cats a catnip taco and fortune cookie and they went INSANE! Even Nibbler was all over them and she usually doesn't care for catnip.

Several of us also bought Samantha's clicker training kit. I can't speak for anyone else, but Stinker and Creeper are having a lot of fun learning. [Nibbler freaks out if you point anything at her]

I apologize in advance for the picture quality.  All I had was my camera phone, and as some of you know, it's on the fritz. [by the time I post this I should have taken it to Apple--so hopefully it works again]

The sign Samantha is holding in the bottom right photo says, "Who's Number One?" and that cat is raising his hand. d'awwww

Tuna is on left with her cow bell and Pinky on right with her guitar.

 

Me with the band [they were the Skele-Cats since it was a Halloween show] and a random hedgehog they had.

Cat Lady Portrait by Tera Sue

You might remember when Tera Sue made my first crazy cat lady portrait. I loved it so much I commissioned her to make another one with Stinker and Creeper.  [Creeper is actually not in the first one, that black cat on my head was just a lucky coincidence]I love her style so much and the detail is so fun! I mean, she even did my nails!

ADDED BONUS! I have good news for all of you! Tera just recently opened up shop where you all can get your own custom portraits!  Seriously, her prices are a steal for the awesome work she'll deliver you. Yano, holiday shopping is right around the corner--these would make excellent gifts! ;D

Stinker Stinker Stinker

So, I couldn't just take pictures of Creeper and not get some of Stinker as well! Since the beginning of this year Stinker has really filled out with his fur. We are having a pretty hot summer here in Georgia, and even though he's an inside cat, he still gets hot. Farewell are the days of him wanting to snuggle with me under the blankets. He now prefers to lounge on the cool wood floors or up in his cat perch. :( I'm hoping when it gets cooler he'll come back around.

I've been looking at getting him a rotating cat brush to help him get rid of some of the dead undergrowth, as well as to help prevent him from getting hair balls. Does anyone else have any tips on keeping fluffier cats cool in the summer?

favorite. Look at those tiny top teeth! :D

Meet Creeper

Some of you might remember the post where I introduced Deli, my new kitten, to all of you. Well, I have a few new things to share with you all today!


1. I got a surprise when I took Deli to the vet. Deli was actually a HE!
2. With this new discovery I decided we needed to start fresh with a new name. Deli is now Creeper. :D
3. I have new pictures of him! He's about 3 months old now and he's grown so much since those first pictures I posted. -tear-

Crazy Cat Lady

So some of you might have seen Eylcia's post about the fabulous site titled Free Crappy Portraits. Well the same artist, Tera Sue, Elycia mentioned just happened to be the guest artist that also created MY portrait. :D

Go check out their site to see the original photo and my description that helped turn me into the "Crazy Cat Lady"! 
PLUS!  Isn't it pretty great that the cat Tera drew on my head looks like my new kitten?! :D




P.S. It's probably my error, but that blog they have linked with my name on that post is NOT MINE. haha

Vlogging on a Friday

It's about to pour down rain where I am, so instead of braving the rain to run some errands, I thought I would post a little vlog!

I'll make a post when I update the shop with the new bunting necklaces. ;D

Nibbler

Back in January I made a post introducing you all to Stinker. Well, now it's time to introduce you to Stinker's older sister--Nibbler!

Matt adopted Nibbler several months before I met him, but I've grown to love her...and she loves tolerates me too.   Nibbler isn't one to cuddle like Stinker does, but where she lacks in physical contact, she makes up with being one chatty catty! That was actually a driving force in why Matt adopted her--he loved that she liked to talk.  

Cute fact: I sneeze a lot, especially in the Spring time. So Nibbler has picked up on the fact that when I sneeze Matt says, "Bless You"...so now every time I sneeze around Nibbler she goes, "Meow Mew"--ahh, so cute! She also knows when I'm faking because she won't do it unless I really sneeze.

She also has retractable thumbs because she opens doors and drawers a lot. She's stealth though, so we've never seen these elusive thumbs. ;)  Oh, and if you close her out of the bedroom and she's hungry and wants you to wake up--you better believe this cat will body slam the door until you feed her. She don't mess around!

Plus she makes ridiculous faces...and has odd sleeping positions. Let me show you:
