With Love and Enormous Gratitude! Our Secret Paws 2018 Reveal

Today it is with pleasure and enormous gratitude that Cody and I are going to reveal the most PAWESOME Secret Paws presents from a family of the most special kitties ever!!

Before we do that, we would like to once again thank Miss Paula of Sweet Purrfections for her patience and hard work organizing this fun event and for matching every kitty up. That's a lot of hard work!

Now....first.........we would like to announce that our Secret Paws pals were some of the cutest kitties (and the most thoughtful kitties EVER!) from the adorable blog: Tomcat Commentary by Tim


Cody and I were BOTH excited when the box arrived last week. I had to wait a day for Cody to open it because he was sleeping and I wanted his FULL attention!

I was blown away when I opened the box and saw that EACH AND EVERY GIFT was wrapped (not like MY lazy self) and each one had a little gift tag attached because EACH kitty gave Cody a gift! That was the most generous and THOUGHTFUL thing ever! (I wish I had thought to take a photo of all of the wrapped gifts together, but I neglected to do that and I apologize.)

I don't remember the order of the gifts that Cody opened except for the first one, the first one he opened was from Miss Fitz:

Cody received that darling Zebra kicker!!!! Thank you!!

The next gift(s) that Cody opened were such an ENORMOUS hit that I wish I had saved them to open last. They were from Timmy Tomcat himself!

Cody loved (LOVES) these so much that he wasn't as focused on the other gifts because he was OBSESSED with these!!! In the last photo you can see he was getting a tad "high" from the catnip, so much so that I edited the following photo to show just how "buzzed" he was!

See what I mean? Cody was in catnip heaven!!!

The next HUGE HIT came from Toby. Not only was Cody crazy about these toys but I was too! Why? On one side there were mice and the other side of the package had these cute little things that Cody could swat all over the place, TWO TYPES OF TOYS in one package! I had never seen anything like that and I thought it was BRILLIANT! Cody liked the things you swat around so much that it was the first time in a LONG time that I had the joy of witnessing this almost 12 year old kitty acting like a kitten! It made me so happy!


Cody is such a lucky kitty!! He was totally smitten with the next gifts that came from Buddy and Rumpy.


In one present were TWO of Cody's all time favorites! Temptations and MICE!!!! Let me tell you he was one happy kitty!!

Because we often call my husband "Einstein" due to his uncanny resemblance, my husband was particularly enamored with the next gift that came from, none other than EINSTEIN!!!


We haven't tried this out yet but I promised Cody that soon we will! He loves wand toys (especially with feathers) and we will have a blast with this!!

BUT WAIT! THERE'S MORE!!!

I even had a wrapped gift!

It was from Dad Pete and look at what was inside!!

How DELICIOUSLY THOUGHTFUL is that????

I can't thank Dad Pete and the kitties enough for the most FUN and THOUGHTFUL GIFTS EVER!!! I don't get Cody and Dakota gifts for the holidays anymore so you made him one HAPPY KITTY!!!!

Cody is soooooo happy that he insisted on pawing all of you a special thank you note just from him!!!!

  20. Wow, that was a mega Secret Paws package! All of those gifts were carefully and thoughtfully chosen. Belated Happy Christmas!
    We went away for a few days and the internet at the hotel was just about non existent. It was much more relaxing though with no distraction from phones and laptops.

  21. Wow we finally got to visit and see Cody enjoy the gifts we picked out. Dad kept saying "Isn't that enough?" MOL. We purrsuaded him by reminding him he needed to get a gift too and that kept him in the spirit. The old guy just retired and was buried with all kinds of things he had to do so excuse our lateness.
    Love you all and so glad you enjoyed everything Cody and Mom
    Timmy, Dad and Family

    1. YAY!! I am sooo happy you made it over here! OMC Cody LOVES everything! I think one of his most favorite is that strange thing that kitties can swat around....(it's in a photo above and kind of looks like a tampon lol!!!) He LOVES that thing!! He tortures Dakota by swatting it in the hallway where Dakota can't get it and Dakota loses his mind watching Cody have so much fun! Thank you so much again and HUGE CONGRATULATIONS on your retirement!!! We love you all! xoxo
