Events Within An Event

Adopt J Lo

HIYA!! SAVANNAH HERE!!!

Well, most of you know that Mom L dashed across country for FIVE hundred thousand years! Just to attend this Bark and Meow World Event…whatever, I say!

AND…Dad P dashed off to some other foreign place called REENO for his stoopid club stuff and he was gone for FOUR hundred thousand years!!

Yeah, yeah…we had our live in pet sitter Miss Heather…but I don’t snuggle at night with anyone but Mom L…

So I waited…

Where is she??

I tried to be pleasant with Miss Heather but it wasn’t my best “so nice to have you here” face…na’ mean??

Who are you and what have you done with my Mom L??

Then when Miss Heather was trying to give me my snack…she caught me getting ready to give my pal Nanuk my ususal smoochie before I eat…now she thinks I was sticking my tongue out at her!!! *slaps paw to forehead*

No, no…I wasn’t sticking my tongue out at you!!

Sigh…I just could not win.

But now The Kid Sage…she did her usual flirty purty moves and gave Miss Heather her goo goo eyes…what a suck up!

Hi Miss Heather! Wanna play with me?

Now I am going to let Mom L share her trip…she is not feeling great so this is going to be a short one…

Mom L: Hi everyone…I wish every single anipal Nana and I have, whether it be bloggers, Twiiter or Face Book pals could have been with us in Atlanta. What a blast!!! And I DON”T necessarily mean the conference!!

I don’t know the last time I laughed so much and so many times that I had tears in my eyes. We had lots of fun, not always in sessions, but just getting to know one another more and more.

I was invited by some dog pals from Twitter to join them for lunch my first day. I arrived before anyone I knew really well and I so welcomed their kindness. I had lunch with @niqqi and @carmapoodle. They were the best behaved woofies at the whole conference IMHO!!!

Niqqi at lunch

…Carma Poodle is a service dog and very gentle and calm…

See my purple nail polish? Matches Mom’s outfit

And there were too many opportunities for photos so I just gave up and enjoyed. Here are a few I thought you would all enjoy seeing…the two kittens, Stoli and Sangria, were keeping Miss Jeanne company as they are her fosters right now and *hint, hint* THEY ARE OPEN FOR ADOPTION!!! You can follow them on Random Felines and you can find my real BFGF Cathy Keisha on her blog Stunning Keisha. Of course Waffles lives at Glogirly with Katie, my gal pal.

I also was able to capture some fun photos of another adult cat in attendance, Mr Waffles. As you can see from this photo series, he is just like any other cat…he puts his tocks on one leg at a time, and he is curious and loves dark places. Really, a regular mancat!

Hope to see many of you next 2015 at Blog Paws in Nashville!

Savannah: Ok, up to me to wrap this post up. Mom L is back to her ice pack on her sore muscle on her back. I hope to get a few visits in tonight and tomorrow AM so please don’t count me out of this community yet!!!

And as you all know…all my waiting paid off…Mom L did return…but she got a stink eye before she got any purrss…heh…heh

So, you’re back…what did you bring for me?

Do All Cats Like Nip Toys?

Adopt J Lo

HIYA!! SAVANNAH HERE!!!

As you likely know by now, Mom L, my typist, is off gallivanting in Atlanta at the combined conferences for the Cat Writers Association and Bark World. As you know, this has troubled me greatly.(hover over photo to view captions)

I won’t get in bed until she comes home

Now, I don’t wanna play

Deep breff…

But…I managed to find this tell ~~tail~~ tale short video of The Kid Sage which proves yet again…cats are mostly into their nip toys for immediate gratification…after that…the motto goes something like this…

“When a toy has been tested, bunny kicked, covered in cat spit and guarded from any other cat in the household…said toy is now to be avoided at all costs”…so sayeth Ceiling Cat.

Such is the fate of this ‘at first glance’ kickable, spitable nip toy gifted to me and The Kid Sage by our fave DVM, Dr Josie, now a retired certifiable Cat Lady…heh…heh…and that nip sock is also “now retired”…na’ mean???

First Cat Cafe in USA Opens!

HIYA!! SAVANNAH HERE!!!

I have something marvelous to share!

No surprises here, just complete and total…

APAWS APAWS APAWS APAWS APAWS!!!!!!!!!!!

The first…let me say that again with even more enthusiasm and pride…THE VERY FIRST EVER CAT CAFE COMPLETE WITH ADOPTION CATS is now open for business in Oakland, California!!!

Mom L and Dad P were invited to join Miss Susie, who is a key contributor to the Maine Coon Adoptions in California. Miss Ann has been instrumental in helping me get my pal Tigger, aka Tiggy, lots of visibility via her Face Book page Ava Gardner, the Cat.

First some words so you have a little background about who started this venture in Oakland and how they accomplished it. Just in case you and your community rescues want to try it yourselves.

Several cat rescue focused groups, individuals and foundations need to find enough common ground from which to launch such an endeavor…for Cat Town Cafe & Adoptions some of those are…(click on the names to learn more about each one)

Cat Town Cat Rescue and be sure to visit their Face Book page and give them a huge LIKE
Cat Man of West Oakland and a bit more…click here…and here for Hood Cats and his Twitter handle (which I urge everyone to follow!)…@AtomHiHat…Face Book page
Bicycle Coffee who is partnering to offer the delish coffee and beverages and human munchies
Oakland Animal Services Shelter
Maddie’s Fund
Pet Food Express

The co-founders, Cat Town Adoption and Cat Man of West Oakland also used Indiegogo to raise funds for this incredible venture.

Cat Town is a wonderful, responsible and caring non-profit cat rescue operating in Oakland, California…here is a bit about their mission:

Cat Town Rescue
Many cats struggle in an animal shelter setting, sensitive to new sounds, smells, and the trauma of losing a home that was familiar. Even the most affectionate, devoted pet may hide or be fearful in a shelter cage.

With partner organizations more likely to accept young, outgoing cats into their programs, municipal shelters often have nowhere to turn for help with undersocialized kittens, shy, stressed, or older cats.

Cat Town answers this need by targeting the cats least likely to be adopted from Oakland’s municipal shelter. Through our foster-based program, Cat Town allows sensitive cats to blossom and find great permanent homes.

Cat Town is also devoted to helping feral cats leave the shelter and find safe outdoor homes.

They have partnered with Oakland Animal Services from their inception.

As for Cat Town Cafe & Adoption…here is a little information about their mission…

“A new collaboration between the Cat Man of West Oakland and Cat Town Rescue, the Cat Town Cafe & Adoption Center will be an expansion of Cat Town’s current mission, and will focus on getting more cats out of the cages of Oakland Animal Services, into our “Cat Zone’ and adopted!!! Learn more by clicking HERE“

That is enough with the ‘words’…now for the real deal…grab some nip tea or a nip tini…or some liverwurst sammies and dog treats…paw back and enjoy the collection of photos of the grand opening event.
