Hi There,
It’s Tucker. Today’s letter is “W” and that stands for “WELL FED”. Now you may think I’m talking about the Tribe of Five and yes, it’s true, although we are very well fed (just look at Oliver’s physique) but I’m not talking about us, I’m talking about the woodland moochers that show up with their babies every spring.
The Female Human loves all of God’s creation and she can never say no to Mamma and her little ones. What does she feed them you ask? Cat food! What hubris!
Hi There Folks,
Alberto here. I’m a bit tired from my #BlogPaws reporting gig (and I still have a wrap-up post to do) but had to make time to do my regular Wednesday wanderings through the world wide web.
I hope you enjoy this week’s finds,
All I can say about this article is Bwaaahaaahaa and I’m surprised it’s never happened before! A kind human attempted to rescue the cat (it’s still not clear if he was a stranger or a friend of the cat’s humans) and instead of being hailed a rescuer he became the rescued. The good news is feline and human were successfully extricated from the tree and no firefighters were injured in the process. Meowza, be careful out there folks (and make sure your ladder is tall enough!)
Okay, I’m not sure if I find this terribly artistic or just terrible in general. Russian artist Ksenia decided she wanted to create photos that would show us what it would look like if felines showed up in our food. For more images, check out her Cats in Food series on Instagram. Some of these photos are MOL pictures but I find the Tabby Burger a bit disturbing.
Ooh, kitty spa time, I could get into that! But then I read further and this massage thing for felines is a healthy option. A few things you should know though, first and foremost, massages should be done by a trained massage therapist or a human who’s been trained by a professional in how to provide a massage for their kitties.
Massage doesn’t just make kitties feel better, it’s important and helpful for older felines, felines who are stressed or afraid or cats with medical issues like feline arthritis. Katie Tontala is a licensed massage therapist and she runs a website called Cat Behavior Demystified. She teaches humans in her area how to massage their cats and also volunteers her time massaging shelter cats to make them less stressed and skittish.
She calls her massage technique “focused petting” and says that humans will know if they’re massaging their feline correctly when the cat becomes a massage junkie.
For you Milwaukee cat loving humans in need of employment, here’s a job for you. Milwaukee’s first cat cafe, The Sip & Purr Cafe is looking for a few good people to work part time in the cat lounge. Requirements include cat rescue, fostering or veterinary experience, a love of people and cats, as “caring for our cats and guests is the number one responsibility of “Cat Lounge Concierges,” and experience cleaning — including litter boxes.
Lakeland Animal Shelter is a partner with Sip & Purr in this endeavor. So hurry up humans, get those resumes in!
Gee, it looks like I’m getting all the letters this week! It’s Oliver again and today’s letter is “V” and that stands for “VERY GOOD ADVICE”. Our Female Human has two things on the wall of her office that are the best pieces of advice for everyone. They are “write yourself a happy ending” and “Dream”. The Tribe of Five agrees this is very, very good advice!
Hi Folks,
It’s Oliver again. Today’s letter is “U” and that stands for UNDERNEATH. I am a feline that loves to crawl underneath stuff so if you come to our house to visit, please make sure you check for lumps under the chair cover, sofa throws or throw rugs.
Hello There,
Oliver here and I’m taking today’s letter which is “T” and that stands for “TALKING” as in talking cats. I hope you enjoy my little message.
Hi Everyone,
Well #BlogPaws 2018 has come to an end. The seminars have been taught, the vendors have been schmoozed and the awards have been given out at last night’s gala. l have a number of photos to purruse and post and a few more items to share with you but my purrsonal assistant is traveling home and so I’ll need to wait until she’s back at her desk.
Purrs & Head Bonks,
Hi there folks, it’s Alberto and Oliver today opining on today’s letter which is “S” and that stands for “SNOOPERVISING” . We have written about snoopervising and it’s a job every feline should take seriously. We provided instructions and tips about one area of snoopervising on our blog.
Our humans shouldn’t be left alone as they often get into trouble so we urge you to take your job of snoopervising seriously!
Purrs & Head Bonks,
Human, you really need to blow the fall leaves off the porch before the snow!
“I presume you will be putting everything back in here when you’re done.”
“Okay, shower looks clean.”
“You’re almost done Human, good job.”
Hi Folks,
It’s been quite a day, learning about photography and winning, winning winning! The Female Human won us tons of cat litter (not kidding it’s 20 boxes of premium litter) and a very cool cat bed.
Tonight is the big gala when all the two and four legged folks put on their sparkly duds and walk the red carpet. It’s being live-streamed on the #BlogPaws Facebook page, in the meantime here are some random photos.
Purrs & Head Bonks,
Oliver Here,
Today’s letter is “R” and the word is “Runt”. When you look at my rather full physique, it’s hard to imagine that I was born the runt of the litter. My brother Alberto was much bigger than I was and my size, and the fact that I was always hungry is how I got my name, right out of Dicken’s Oliver Twist (“Please sir, may I have some more kibble?”
As you can see from the photos I was a tiny, yet adorable little fellow and have definitely outgrown my “runt” status.
Purrs & Head Bonks,
Hello There,
Alberto here. I’m taking a break from my #BlogPaws reporting to do this week’s friendly fill ins. This blog hop is created by our furiends 15and meowing and McGuffy’s Reader. Hop on over to add your blog or post your fill in answers in our comment section.
Purrs & Head Bonks,
1. New toys and treats from the BlogPaws vendors are always greatly appreciated by The Tribe of Five. (What wonders await us from the generous vendors? We’ll be blogging about it)
2. I love to open everything from the #BlogPaws swag bag on the day the Humans bring it home. (This is Tucker our Alpha, snoopervising the inspection of the swag from a previous year’s #BlogPaws)
3. When I was a child I loved to play with my Aunt Mitzi.
4.One day, I want to be named “Male Cat of The Year”
