It’s Linky Party Time 10/1/16

Hello All,
Siamese Cat in the sunJasmine here. This is my first time hosting a linky party and I’m quite excited. The photo to the left is of me waiting for the guests to show up for the party and then Alberto told me it’s a virtual party and that no real guests actually show up. Sheesh, then why do they call it a party and get a cat all excited for company and treats?

Oh well, it’s still cool being a host and I got to choose my three top picks from the last party . Enjoy!

My picks from the last Linky Party:

Wag N Woof Pets – Nose Work

black and white dog in harnessI must admit, I do have a bit of admiration for canines that can find stuff just by sniffing it out. We felines like to sniff stuff too but we rarely act upon any scents we discover unless it’s particularly stinky food, then we eat it. Luke here is pretty smart and his human is teaching him how to find the scented thing. Who knew you could train a dog’s nose?

 

Travel with Barley – The Longest Days

img_9252This is a wonderful story about a female human who could not let a dog with many special needs go without help. It’s also the story of fostering (something my humans were a miserable failure at and why we now have Alberto and Oliver in our house…but that’s a story for another time.) Anyway, how she works with this underweight and frightened dog warms my paws and it makes me happy to know that there are humans who would work so hard to help a dog or cat become the best they can be and ready for a fur-ever home.

 

Five Sibes – The Groomer Man Cometh

 

fur from dog gooming is enough to make another dogI must say that reading this post made me realize that canines and felines have a lot in common when it comes to being groomed. First thing-we don’t like it. Second thing-dogs get “paw-dicures” too, who knew?  I know our humans gripe about the amount of fur The Tribe of Five leave around the house but after seeing the photo on the left (enough fur to make another dog) I believe my humans should be thanking their lucky stars that they have felines and not Siberian Huskies in the house!

Walk Through the Web Wednesday 9/28

siamese cat in black and white with blue eyes, Alberto, Feline Opines

Hello Friends, Furry, Feathered and Otherwise,
Alberto here. It’s time to tell you what items caught my fancy during the week. It’s been a little hectic here. The humans have had a week of visitors and this prompted The Tribe of Five to work on our next blog entry, “The Felines Guide to Being the Purrfect Houseguest”…stay tuned.

But I digress, here are my Walk Through the Web Wednesday picks and I hope you enjoy them as much as I did.

Antibiotic-Free, Hormone-Free, Organic Pet Food | Does it Matter? – Raising Your Pets Naturally

healthy food,. antobiotic, hormone freeOur humans are very purrrticular when it comes to feeding us. As a matter of fact, the male human won’t let the female human select a new organic and healthy food for us without consulting him (he’s our official feline dietitian) . It isn’t easy for the humans to know if they’re making the best food choices for us. We’re no help, as far as we’re concerned, the nastier and stinkier the food, the better it is. Raising Your Pets Naturally know a lot about this and they offer some very helpful advice in this post.

Cats as Therapists? You betcha’, just ask Sparkle Cat – Sparkle Cat.com


summer092716aYou hear a lot about therapy dogs but therapy cats rarely get a mention. We felines know how to make humans feel calm and loved. This story is about Sparkle Cat’s visit to a school for children with developmental disabilities. You will love her tale of how the healing purr works magic.

 

 

 

How Smart Is Your Cat? – Pet MD

ginger tabby reading book with glassesOk, I admit it, I was deeply offended by this headline but then the human told me to check my catitude and purruse the article a bit further and I’m glad I did. There’s lots of good info here people and the article explains our brains and provides some interesting tidbits…like did you know that cats dream?

 

Crash Test Kitty Help Saves Lives – Conscious Cat

crash test kitty with canine friendNow before you go getting your tail in a twist, this is not a real kitty but this faux feline does save lives. My feline friends, have you ever wondered about that carrier that you are often unceremoniously stuffed into? Did you think, “Gee, I hope this thing is safe”. Well there are people who think about that all the time and they use the crash test kitty to make sure all of us felines are safe. (Note, crash test kitty is on the right, the canine is an anonymous friend)

 

 

The Top Ten States for Cat Lovers – Estately

sign says keep calm and love catsNow this really has me concerned. After checking the map, every state surrounding us is evidently a cat lover state, but not ours!  The Tribe of Five is seriously considering petitioning the humans for a move. North, south, east or west is fine, just a state that is a designated cat lover state!  Is your state a cat loving state?

 

Walk Through The Web Wednesday 9/21

siamese cat in black and white with blue eyes, Alberto, Feline Opines

Hello Friends Furry, Feathered and  Otherwise,
Alberto here (my friends call me Al) and it’s my favorite day of the week where I get to purrrruse the web and share some of my favorite feline things.
Enjoy,

remember me thursday shelter eventRemember Me Thursday – Three Chatty Cats

Three Chatty Cats’ mission is to promote and support cat rescues and adoptions by highlighting rescue groups, sharing adoption stories, and showcasing individuals who do their part to help cats in need. They remind us that tomorrow., Thursday September 22 is “Remember Me Thursday® which is a global awareness campaign uniting individuals and pet adoption organizations around the world as an unstoppable, integrated voice advocating for orphan pets to live in forever homes, not die waiting for them.

dailymailegyptiancatThe Daily Mail- From Viking cats to felines of the ancient mariner: DNA analysis from 30 archaeological sites reveals how cats spread around the world

This one is for the more intellectual felines in my readership. The article states that “The history of cat domestication still remains understudied, especially compared to that of dogs.” and I couldn’t agree more. We felines have been earning our keep for centuries, the article says that cats may have lived among ancient farmers, mariners, and even Vikings. I should disclose however, that #TheTribeOfFive are not great mousers and our humans had to call someone to take care of their mouse problem in their old house.

Jacke the tabby cat sitting in catnip in the gardenTabby Cats, Cheetahs & Zebras Have Something Very Special In Common – I Heart Cats


Here’s another one for my readers with inquiring minds. Now I get the connection with house felines and cheetahs, but zebras too? Veeeeerrryyy interesting, yep, it’s all in the genes.
The photo to the left is my feline cuz Jake, who is helping himself to the catnip crop.

BookRiot.com – Cat Cosplay

harbingerrenegadesCosplay for cats? Well, why not?  Valiant Comics’ just announced their latest series of cat cosplay variant covers. Variant covers, in the comic book world, are when a comic company ships multiple covers for their first printing and more often than not, the covers only make sense if you link the various covers together. (Who knew a feline had such comic book knowledge?). I purrrrrused the covers and had a hard time selecting my favorite but I think it has to be Harbinger Renegades (shown at left).

You must check this out for yourself, they are purrrrfectly wonderful!

 

Welcome to the Linky Party

Hello All,

Alberto the Siamese cat sits on the wallAlberto here. My purrrsonal assistant has been a bit overwhelmed (humans, they’re always running around in a panic) so she’s getting our Linky info up a little late . (I’ve been sitting here waiting for quite a while!)

Please join the party so we can get to know you better. And hey…nothing against the canines but we need to hear from some felines! Meow on!

Your friend,

alberto the Siamese cat

Since I’m the host I get to pick my faves from the last Linky Party and here they are.

 Storm Preparedness For Your Pet-Are You Ready?  From Animal Bliss

storm preparedness for petsWe’ve heard a lot about pets in the most recent disasters, flooding in Louisiana, fires in California and earthquakes in Italy. My humans say we should always have a plan for #TheTribeOfFive and this article provides some excellent tips. We even had some dogs from the Louisiana floods flown to our shelter in Idaho!

christmas gifts ideas for your veterinarianGifts for Your Veterinarian – PetFaves

Now, I’ll be the first to admit that I HATE the ride to the humans in the white coats, but once I’m there, I really like the white coated humans that care for us so I think a Christmas gift is a great idea! The place with the white coats where we go is fear free, great calming smells, soft toys and places to hang out and even music for cats!

wag n woof pets beagle walking in the woodsMiddle Dog – Wag N Woof Pets

Here at #TheTribeOfFive we’ve learned that heirachy makes a difference. The humans are always concerned that all five of us receive love and attention so no one feels left out. This article talks about sharing the love in your furry family.

Walk Through the Web Wednesday 9/7

siamese cat in black and white with blue eyes, Alberto, Feline Opines
Hello Friends,
Furry, feathered and otherwise. Alberto here with my weekly purrrrusal of the web. I found some great links and hope you enjoy them as much as I did.

Sparkle Cat -Resisting the Piece de Resitance

Sparkle Cat in a mardi gras costumeMy first pick is from the gorgeous and world-renown fashionista feline-Sparkle Cat. In the humble opinion of this young (and very handsome)  cat, Miss Sparkle is a beauty (although I am also greatly enamored with Coco the Couture Cat as well). In this blog entry, Sparkle shows her sense of humor and reminds us that even famous cats have to dry the line somewhere!

 

 

Chirpy Cats – Caturday Art, The Cat and the Printer

cat attacking a printerGeorge the cat makes some very good points about living with the bothersome and noisy machine the humans call the “printer” and which George refers to as the “purrrrinter”. The humans seem to have some sort of love of machines that annoy (or terrify) felines. I myself could write a soliloquy about the “vacuum monster”: and the fear it strikes in the hearts of The Tribe of Five.

 

Mudpie Interviews Sula, the Old Mission San Juan Bautista Cat

I’m very impressed with Mudpie’s interview techniques. I always appreciate a feline journalist that presents a story in an interesting and compelling way. I purred with joy after reading this beautiful interview. Sula is one amazing feline. She’s had cancer twice and survived and now has the title of “Comforter-in-Chief at the mission. Her job is to provide a loving feline touch for anyone there who is in need of it. I know many cats with jobs but Sula has a very special one. And, Sula has a book entitled, “Surviving Cancer, Healing People, One Cat’s Story”. I can’t wait to have my human read it to me!

 

The Way of Cats…Will He Miss Me?

The female human has been listening to the podcasts of this lady for quite some time and she’s learned quite a bit about the complicated feline mind. I liked this post because it talks about how we felines feel when someone we love goes away. We are complicated creatures!

 

Well, that’s it for this Wednesday. ‘Hope you enjoy my selections.

Your Friend,

Linky Party Time!

alLinkyPartyWOMe

Hello Friends, Furry, Feathered or Otherwise,
Lily here. It’s my turn to host a Linky Party and, as you can see, Alberto is a bit distressed that he might miss the most recent Linky event. Those youngsters, there’s always drama.
But I’m not here to talk about Al. I purrrrused the entries from the last Linky Party and I have selected my top three (it was hard, there were so many good ones!)

I hope you enjoy the picks as much as I did and please don’t forget to click on the link at the bottom of this page and add your favorite blog post!
Your Friend,img_2241

 

Momma Kat and her Bear Cat 

BearCatMC and BC have been having some unnerving conversations lately about aliens. Here’s one that kept me up last night after the human read it to me. I’m not so sure there aren’t aliens around our place and heaven knows we have enough to worry about with all the wild woodland creatures that walk on our downstairs deck and stare into the glass sliders at night. But, you decide, did Bear dip a little too deep into the nip or are there really cat-attacking aliens out there?

K2K9K2’s Canines and Kitties

It’s not only the animal tribe that misses a friend when they go over the Rainbow Bridge. Our humans did some things that helped them remember Miss P. and Buster and I think it makes the humans feel better. The female human always says that “Our fur kids leave paw prints on our hearts”. I’m not sure if that is medically correct but I think I know what she means. We are all loved greatly by our humans.

WagAndWoofWag ‘N Woof Pets

I know about scaredy cats but never knew there were fraidy dogs. This human knows how to make your fraidy dog feel more comfortable. Now if she could just give us some tips for the scaredy cats in our house!
