| Newly adopted Cody, July 2007
This year with all
that is going on with Cody,
I intend to hug him
and hold him even closer!!!
I had wanted to do a new
post this year,
but with BOTH
Cody AND Dakota
having issues right now,
I just can't focus to do so.
And...for the record BLOGGER!! I tried using the new interface and everything was clear except for the MOST IMPORTANT PART...where in the heck do you create a new post?

"Oh Christmas Card Tree, Oh Christmas Card Tree!! How Festive Are Your Branches!!"
Hi everyone!! In case you forgot who I am, it's Cody! Why would you forget me? Oh, just because Mom hasn't helped me blog in OVER A WEEK!!! Do you believe it? It's been OVER A WEEK since either Mom or myself have blogged. Mom said she just wasn't "feelin' it", well, good for her, I had to put my paw down because I AM "feelin' it" and I wanted to start today with another Christmas card post.
This one is different! This post features the cards I have received so far via snail mail (Mom has assured me we will blog about the ecards at some point next week). Of course, after Mom took photos another card came, and that pawson wanted to send us a card so badly they accidentally sent two!! (and they were different cards!). Mom and I love them both!
If you notice in the photo above, there are cards attached to my cat tree!!!! Mom said she had a quandary this year as to where to put MY cards (not hers and Dads, not Dakota's but MY cards) because I am a lucky kitty and I get so many!
So, Mom came up with the genius idea of attaching some of them to my cat tree so that I may enjoy them at my leisure (my entire day is spent at "my leisure" but I digress.) Here are some photos of my tree and the wall next to my tree where we have also displayed my cards.
I loved Mom's idea...until she decided to stick some loser Detroit Lions ornaments that they send to the season ticket holders each year, on to MY tree! I told Mom I didn't want losers represented on MY tree (even if they ARE members of the feline family), but she didn't listen.
Poor Dakota! I would have posted his cards too, but I didn't want him to feel bad since he only received about 10 so far and I have way over 20!!!!! Oh and Mom and Dad only received four and two of them are from the same pawson!!
Thank you so much to all of our furiends who sent cards, we love each and every one of them!
Before I forget, wait til you see the PAWESOME Secret Paws package I received!! OMC it is just the BEST!!!! Mom and I are going to blog about that on Monday for sure! Mom took a bunch of photos and we have to go through them but we will post on the blog Monday! We tried to write our Secret Paws a thank you note but we couldn't locate their email. We wanted them to at least know that their package arrived yesterday and today we opened it and I am one HAPPY KITTY!!!! You will find out who they are on Monday and we will thank them properly then. In the meantime we are happy to be pawticipating in the Feline Friday Blog Hop sponsored by Comedy Plus!

8 Tips to Keep Your Cat Safe This Halloween
FROM CAT CHAT WITH CAREN AND CODY; THIS POST FIRST APPEARED ON OCTOBER 3, 2014.
That wonderful time of year where we can hear the leaves crunch beneath our feet, ghouls and goblins lurk around every bend, delicious candy and snacks are plentiful, who wouldn't like such a fun holiday? Well, I'll tell you who....CATS that's who!! (for that matter dogs too, but that is something for Dakota to handle, since this blog is devoted to CATS!!)
Halloween is right around the corner and can pose special dangers to our precious pets that we must be aware of. Let's "pawse" and reflect about these potential hazards:
1) Even if your cat is a social gadabout, do not let he/she out unattended on Halloween
(or near Halloween for that matter) Black cats are in greater danger than many others due to some evil minds that want to expose them to awful "tricks" on Halloween.
2) Always make sure your cat is either microchipped or wears a collar (good rule of thumb for all year), but especially if he/she becomes "spooked" at Halloween and takes off for parts unknown. By having the proper identification, should your cat "go missing", the odds of it being returned are much greater than if it had no identification at all.
3) CANDY IS A HAZARD!! That goes for candy wrappers as well. They can cause choking and chocolate can be toxic! Also candies that contain artificial sweeteners! Never, ever leave candy laying around unattended. Remember:"curiosity killed the cat"
4) Confine your cat to one room if you are hosting a party or when trick-or treaters are at your door.
5) Candles and lit pumpkins can be a hazard. Cats are naturally curious. Tails can be accidentally singed, fires can be started due to being knocked over. Opt for flameless candles instead.
6) I am not overly enthused about dressing cats up for Halloween, (or anytime, but YES, I have done it for a hot second to take photos and that is about it.) If you are determined to dress your cat up for Halloween please try the costume on ahead of time to see how well he/she handles it. Make sure the costume enables her to see, breathe, hear and move around comfortably. Never leave the cat unattended while still in costume. If your cat struggles and balks at being dressed in a costume, for cat's sake, TAKE IT OFF! I am more of a fan of a hat or bandana as Cody is wearing above.
7) Most Cats do not enjoy Halloween parties, parades and God Forbid Trick-or-Treating!! These events are scary and are torture for your cat! Enter the cat's photo in an online photo contest instead. The noises of parties, parades and being outside, as well as the extra stimulation, are the purrfect invitation for the kitty to "exit stage left"
8) If you are leaving for the night, the same suggestions that I have mentioned for the 4th of July or anytime you will be away are the same for Halloween. Leave the TV or radio on throughout the evening to distract the cat from outside noises that might be frightening.
Follow these tips to help ensure that you and your cat have a Halloween that is only full of kitty approved treats and totally trick-free!!

Kittenhood: capture a kitten on camera for International Cat Care (iCatCare) photo competition
If there’s one thing the
internet loves, it is kittens and this year feline charity International Cat
Care (iCatCare) is searching for photos of kittens for its annual photography
competition.
With the brand-new theme of ‘Kittenhood’ the charity is inviting both amateur and professional photographers from across the globe to enter images of adorable newborns and curious kittens (up to six months of age) – whether they’re snoozing, playing, or just looking irresistibly cute.

Now in its sixth year, the
competition has collectively attracted over 12,000 entries from all over the
world. Eve Davies, who has run the competition for the last three years, said:
‘Over 2000 images were sent into last year’s Street Cats competition and the resulting calendar sold out! We’re
hoping that this year’s competition will be more popular and successful than
ever to help us celebrate our 60th anniversary and to raise vital
funds for our work.’
Twelve winning images will be selected by the iCatCare judges to feature in the charity’s 2019 calendar (and other materials) which will be sold to raise funds for the charity’s welfare work, with one of these being crowned the overall winner and gracing the front cover. All twelve winners will each receive a certificate, copies of the calendar and a selection of iCatCare merchandise. The overall winner will also receive £500 in prize money.
