THANK YOU! from Cody....

Hi every furry! It's Cody and I am just blown away by all of the wonderful birthday greetings that I received yesterday! Wow! It really meant so much to me and I want to THANK each and every one of you for taking the time to stop by!

I know you are all busy and the fact that so many of you took time out of your day to wish me a Happy Birthday means the WORLD to me! So I thank you from the bottom of my furry little heart!

Now, I want  to show you a few  things today and the first one is this adorable birthday greeting that I received from my dear furiend Nellie!

Isn't that just the sweetest!! Nellie posted this on a SPECIAL BLOG POST that she made just for me!  I know Nellie has a special boyfriend so the fact that she took the time to make this for me, really touched my heart! THANK YOU NELLIE!!

The next item I want to share with you is a special Cat In The Hat Mat that Mom ordered from our furiends Mollie and Alfie  as a special birthday surprise!

I was just resting in my new cat cave, (if you haven't entered our Laurel Burch give-away you still can!) when Mom plopped down a package in front of me.

Mom wanted me to come out, but I refused. When she opened the package I asked if a note had been written to me and she said "Nope, there was just the mat in the package. I guess that Mollie and Alfie were too busy to write you a little note. They have a lot of orders to fill in their shop but I am sure they send their good wishes anyway."

I do love my mat! Mom and I love The Cat In The Hat and this  mat is super cute!! I refuse to come out and show you how much I like it though. Hey, if there is no card or note for me in the package, then you don't get to see me! That's the name of that tune! You'll just have to trust me when I say I LOVE IT!

Thanks to my Mom for ordering this from Mollie and Alfie for my birthday!!! 

If you would like to visit Mollie and Alfie's shop, click here or on the many links above!

Last but FAR from least, I want to thank EVERYONE that voted for me in the AmazeCats Next Top Cat of the Internet contest!

YOU were ALL "amazing!" You enabled me to not only make it into the Top 32 but you  enabled me to make the third seed by giving me over 700 votes! I was completely blown away! (I also want to congratulate Daisy, Katie, Sparkle, Odin and Allie for making it into the Top 32 as well!) More than likely the special needs kitties with thousands upon thousands of votes will win, but it will be fun to see how close to the top each of us can get in this competition!

Guess what that means furiends? Another round of voting begins on Wednesday to narrow the purring playing field down even more! Stay tuned for the link to vote! Get those clicking fingers ready! I need all of the help that I can get! Thank you and much love!


Have a great day all!

Love, Cody

Happy Birthday Cody!!!! You're 6!

I can barely believe that today

my "boy" is

SIX!!!

Looking at these photos it seems they were all taken in the blink of an eye. Times goes by much too fast. Cody was a blessing sent to me by my Angel Bobo who passed 2 weeks before I adopted Cody. He helped soothe my broken heart.

Cody is a lover, cuddly, a great brother, clever, cunning, a clown, food obsessed,  and he has a belly that swings from side to side when he runs! Our lives are truly blessed!

Today we are celebrating Cody's SIXTH BIRTHDAY with the SECOND of what will be FOUR GIVE-AWAYS! ( If you missed the first give-away click here,  there is still time to enter!)  We hear that a number of other kitties have celebrations today as well, everything from more birthdays, to gotcha days to blog-o-versaries!
Cody and I want to send lots of love to ALL KITTIES CELEBRATING TODAY!

In honor of Cody's birthday, and the special days of our friends, we have a special give-away from our friend Kelly at:

 Bax Cat & Co.!!

I simply LOVE Kelly from Bax Cat & Co. and all of the special things that she makes!  Kelly specializes in organic catnip toys, cat mats and "other homemade goodies for your special cat"

About Bax Cat & Co. (courtesy of their website)

In the winter of 2011 I noticed that one of my cats wanted to play, but was bored of her usual toys.  On that day, I made a simple string cat toy out of fabric I had in the house.  Who knew that such a simple toy would elicit such an excited response from Zazu?!  The joy I saw as she played on that day made me open my eyes; it was on that day I pledged to make durable cat toys that would make cats happy across the globe.  Soon after, I branched out and started to make cat mats as well (these pads give my cats a place to sleep once they grew tired from playing so much!)  

I was honored that Kelly agreed to do a give-away in honor of Cody's birthday, and look at the adorable catnip toy that Kelly sent to Cody for his birthday!

It's a GREEN BIRD from Kelly's Etsy Shop!

Branch is NOT included :)

These birds are special
because they were the
very first toys
that Kelly made for her shop!

From Kelly's Etsy Shop: This catnip cat toy bird would love to nest at your house! The purr-fect addition to your cat's toy collection, in a great bright green fabric and filled with certified organic catnip! Here are some things you should know about him:

Measurements:

- 4.5 inches from beak to tail

- 3 inches tall

- 1 inch thick

Materials:

- Body is cotton fabric in a green Celtic-inspired print

- Wings are made of white cotton fabric

- Feet and beak are made of orange felt

- Stuffed with polyfil and certified organic catnip

- Body is fused with interfacing for durability; wings are fused to body fabric and then stitched to body

- Polyester thread - triple-stitched for extra playtime durability

Here are photos of Cody enjoying his present!

Cody and I loved that the package
was not only attractively wrapped,
but it was wrapped using eco-friendly materials
"Earth-friendly Packing"

Pardon the blurry photo
but it was evident
that Cody smelled
catnip in the package!

Cody is carefully
inspecting his new Birdie!
Look at those claws!

The catnip toy
was a HUGE success!!!!

This bird  is too adorable ( the fabric is durable, even the TAG says Bax Cat & Co.!)

Cody thinks it is highly swattable, huggable and bunny-kickable which all translates to FUN!


WANT TO FIND OUT HOW TWO PEOPLE WILL WIN?
You will, AFTER you check out some of Cody's birthday cards!

Cody is such a lucky kitty!!! He  received two super cool birthday cards! The first is from his buddy Sammy from the adorable blog One Spoiled Cat!

Oh wow!!! Look at this

that my buddy Sammy made me!
Is this COOL or WHAT?

Wordless Wednesday-You Know You Want Me!

Cody And Neko Flies "It's Swat Cats Love!" Part I

Meowy Monday all!

It's Cody here and I am so excited to show you a new toy that I was lucky enough to receive from the nice lady at the award winning Nekochan Enterprises Inc. who manufactures Neko Flies!

I actually received TWO toys (aren't I the luckiest kitty ever??) but today I am showing you the first one, the Small Kittenator and on Wordless Wednesday I will show you the second one the super cool Kragonfly.

I was so excited to receive these!
 I am staring at the Kragonfly,
 but I really wanted to get my paws on
 the Small Kittenator first!

I started with the Small Kittenator  because being a mancat who knows his mousies this new furry brown friend intrigued me right off the cat bat!

Gather round all you cool cats, you are gonna LOVE this! I haven't steered ya wrong EVER and this toy is another I am adding to my complete "purrfection" list!

Isn't this the most enticing mousie EVER?

The Small Kittenator is a toy that any cat who is as obsessed with mousies as I am will love to play with!  The Small Kittenator clips on super easily to the durable rod that is included, it has the cutest beady little eyes and loooong enticing whiskers, it looks and feels like a real mousie! It is purrfect for lazy kitties like me who need to get their groove on to lose a pound or two! Fellow couch kitties, get your paws on the floor and come mousie chasing with me!




(Please excuse the mess in the video. We are still redoing rooms and Mom threw EVERYTHING into the back bedroom!)

"Dr.Smiley" Gets HIS!!-Semi "Wordy" Wednesday

Many of you remember my trip to the vet last week. If you missed it, please click here

Mom bought this "Dr. Smiley look-alike" for Grandpa Bobo years and years ago. He traveled in Bobo's carrier when he went to the vet and now he travels in mine....

"Dr.Smiley"

Until last week

Mom came into the bedroom after we got home. She KNEW she had left "Dr.Smiley" in the carrier as always....

THIS...is what she found.....

That'll teach him!!

Mom here, I truly discovered this an hour or so after we returned home from the vet...."Dr.Smiley" had NEVER been hurled from the carrier by Grandpa Bobo OR Cody......I laughed and laughed when I stumbled upon the crime scene!

 Cody certainly made his point!
