Guess who came for a visit!!!

A few days ago I was pawing through my blog post comments and I got a comment from my dear furiend Nellie that made me quite worried!

It was on my blog post from July 17th

Kisses
Nellie

After reading that angst-filled comment, I could NOT get Nellie off of my mind!!!!

How could a man cat say no???? I could tell from this photo and the blog post that Nellie wrote about it that she needed help....AND FAST!!

This is Jo-Jo!!

Our dear friend Marg, over at Marg's Pets needs our help. As many of you know, Marg takes in and cares for MANY animals. Cats, dogs, donkeys etc. She also helps many of our furiends in the blog-o-sphere.

Now Marg needs OUR help. Her doggy, Jasmine is quite ill and Marg is having a hard time with the vet bills. It would be great if we all could help her out. Even if it is $1, every little bit helps, it all adds up and makes a difference! If you would like to help please visit Marg's blog right here, she has a Chip In on the right side bar. Thanks!

On to our "stuff"

Mom

and I are  trying to visit everyone,

 but we are super busy

 and will be for the next week or so!

Tonight begins the Jewish holiday Yom Kippur and we are busy getting ready for that, because we will be having company introoders in our home.

 Thursday evening Mom has been invited to attend an exclusive media only,  sneak preview of the new Tim Burton/Disney movie,  FRANKENWEENIE, (it will be in  theaters on OCTOBER 5TH). It  will be reviewed on  Dakota's blog on October 8th.

 Next week Mom will be in St.Louis for a couple of days attending the Passionate Pet Lovers:Purina Pet Food Summit (Mom is one of the bloggers on the Purina Cat Blog Panel and Purina is paying for their bloggers to attend), so she is pretty darned busy with all of the above and MANY other things!

Mom and I just wanted to let you know that if we aren't able to visit every one as often as usual in the coming week, we are sorry! We will do our best to visit as many of you as possible!

Have a great day!

Love, Cody and Mom

Friday Fun!! I'm On Fire!!!!!!

Photo created by Nellie's Mom
from Cat From Hell

I look pretty scary don't I? Don't be frightened! It's only ME, Cody!! That fiery photo was created for me by Nellie's Mom from Cat From Hell in honor of the:

that they have given me! 

In order to accept this award (which I am honored to receive) I have to tell you 8 unusual things about me. This is gonna be tough!!

1) Hell's Kitchen is one of my favorite shows.

Photo from Wikipedia

2) I have no desire at all to go outside. Mom had tried to take me out on two different occasions. I wanted NO PART of it! With temps over 100 degrees for much of the summer, I am one smart kitty!

3) Mom doesn't like when I walk on the top of our oven. I know I am not permitted to do it, but I can't control myself. All of those wonderful smells just entice me too much! Mom is afraid because we have a ceramic cook top which stays hot for a period of time even when it is turned off. She is afraid I will burn my kitty paws.

4) Speaking of paws, Mom says I use my paws the way people use their hands! She says I am the most tactile cat she has ever met! (Whatever THAT means!)

5) I don't play by myself much. Mom doesn't understand it because she tells me that Grandpa Bobo used to amuse himself for HOURS with various toys. I have TONS of toys, mom says TOO MANY, that I rarely play with. I only like interactive toys, my mice and my 4-legged furry Sheltie toy, my brother, Dakota.

6) I don't mind taking medicine. Mom STILL can't believe it. I occasionally have to take medicine for my allergies and I eagerly take it! Mom sings this silly little song she made up called "It's Medicine Time" trust me it won't be released anytime soon and I come running into the kitchen for my medicine!

7) When watching TV with Mom I will only sit on the arm of the couch and it MUST be on the left side of Mom. I won't sit anywhere else when Mom is watching TV on the couch. Sometimes I will hold her hand with my paw, sometimes I even sit ON HER SHOULDER but I will only sit on her LEFT side.

8) I don't hiss. Not a bit. The FIRST and ONLY time I ever hissed was when Dakota first came to live with us. Of course I had to hiss then, he had to be made aware of just exactly WHO the boss was around here!!! He learned that lesson FAST. I  never had a need to hiss again....my work was done!

Sorry this is so blurry!
It was taken a loooong time ago!

So here we go again, I am offering this award to any kitty who hasn't had it! You're all HOT in my book!

Rabbit-flavored meows,

Cody

We Were Given The Illuminating Blogger Award

Happy Friday all! It's Cody and I am excited to share some flattering news with you! Mom and I were honored to be given another award, this time it is the:

Isn't it nice and shiny? Can't put it on our mantle mostly because we don't HAVE a mantle and even if we did this isn't tangible, but I digress... we can keep it close to our heart and that's what matters most!

We were pleased to be given this fine award from our friends at Twinkletoe Tails, thanks guys!!! One of the requirements of this award is I must tell you an "illuminating" story about myself.....

After careful consideration and a large dose of laziness, I couldn't come up with a thing!! Not even a kibble-sized tidbit. So...in LIGHT of my complete and utter lack of creativity, I have decided to share these with you instead.....photos of ME basking in LIGHT! Now THAT'S "illuminating!!" MOL!

Now...I am  supposed to pass this on to FIVE other kitties that I  would love to hear illuminating stories about, (or you can be lazy like me and just use "illuminating" photos). I normally don't pass these things on, but hey, why should I have all of this FUN by myself?

So...here are just a few of the kitties that I would like to have pawticipate in the fun!!

My Snoop Catty Catt Bow Tie!

Hi everyone! A few weeks ago my Mom entered a contest on one of our favorite blogs:

Visit Catsparella at 

http://www.catsparella.com

and the prize was that the winner could pick out a bow tie of their choice from Snoop Catty Catt!!!

I couldn't believe my luck when I found out that I was one of the winners!!

Mom gets the credit for everything
but it was really ME
that entered!!

The timing couldn't have been more perfect! I was sitting here remembering how nice it was when Nellie stopped by to visit me,

http://catfromhell.wordpress.com

but alas, the time passed much too quickly. I know that she has many mancats vying for her attention and I felt I just had to come up with something to impress her.

I have a feeling that my new bow tie from Snoop Catty Catt just might be the ticket!!

My Mom and I pondered over what color to choose and decided that purple would look the best against my sophisticated charcoal gray fur. What do you think?

All of the bow ties from Snoop Catty Catt are machine washable  which comes in handy when my nervousness causes me to spill bits of my Tuna cocktail when fine dining with the beautiful and charming Nellie. Mom can hang it to dry and even iron if she owned one on low heat if desired.

The ties are "handmade with love in Vancouver, Canada which will also impress Nellie since she is part Canuck!

If  I want to pawchase more bow ties for our fancy dates I can do that on snoopcattycatt.etsy.com. I can also pussy foot over and visit them on Facebook to tell them about my date with Nellie at facebook.com/snoopcattycatt.

Thank you Catsparella for having such a great give-away and thank you to Snoop Catty Catt for my catabulous bow tie!!

Now...to hope this tie works some magic with Nellie!
