Tested on Animals!

A new-ish addition to my Etsy shop are Catnip Knots - they come with a 1/4 pound bag of the most powerful catnip known to man (or cat).


I decided to break my own rule and test this product on animals and I think the results are pretty good.

"Ma ... why is the room spinning?"

Hunter is such a great little guy .. he's one of those happy go lucky cats that doesn't need much but is so appreciative when he's given something nice. He played with that catnip-infused cloth knot (yes, that white thing he's laying on) for about 45 minutes straight.

This product is really special to me as I donate the entire sale to It's Meow or Never Animal Rescue & Sanctuary. So, not only do you make your own kitties really happy with a new toy, you'll be helping to provide the essentials for kitties that have lived pretty tough lives prior to being saved by my favorite animal rescue organization.

Each of us have a special cause that we feel a calling to and mine happens to be animals. What's your special cause and what do you do each day to help out?

Happy Sunday!

Migoto Neko (or My Cat Likes Orange)

Gosh, I hope I got that right, because I think "Migoto Neko" means "beautiful cat". At any rate, I was taking photos yesterday of some asian paper fans. It seems that Hunter wanted to help and he was really taken by this fan in particular - I think it's because orange is his favorite color:


"Hi Ma! Hey, whatcha got there?"


"Mind if I give it a whiff?"


"I love you, orange fan."


After all that sniffing and following me around all day like a puppy, Hunter had a nice long nap in my chair .. the perfect way to spend a "Caturday" afternoon.

Before slipping off to dreamland, Hunter wanted me to tell you that he's offering 15% off anything orange in my shop, today only, February 1st. Just mention how cute you think he is when you check out and he'll calculate your discount.

Hugs,

Craft Fair, A Cuddle and a Good Movie

Today, I participated in a Holiday Bazaar at Skyline High School in Samammish. Sales were really slow so it was a bit disappointed. I took this picture of my booth to share with everyone:


After getting home and unloading my truck, I took a hot, relaxing bath and got into bed to cuddle with Panda. We decided that we'd watch a movie and this is what we chose:

She's particularly fond of black and white movies, for obvious reasons.

We're going Sunday window shopping to a new online shopping place for handmade items. I'm really excited to share this new web site with you - check back tomorrow!

Kitty & the Roomba

I don't know why this movie affected me so much but it did. My tummy actually hurts.



It wasn't the little "kitty body jerk" each time the Roomba changed directions. It probably wasn't even the tail dragging along behind the device. I think it was something far more deep-seeded.


I never had one when I was a kid and I thought the Sit n' Spin was the greatest toy ever made. Some 25 years later, my parents presented me with one at Christmas. We're square now and all things are good in the world.

Sit n' spin, little kitty ... sit n' spin....
