All Gone Away...

As the maid decided to totally desert us and go spend some time with Dicky Duck in Costa Rica we all accepted Ruis invitation to spend some days with him and the In-Laws in Limburg.
The maid and the butler saw us off, the maid will leave tomorrow and the butler claims he will enjoy the quiet. But we know he will miss us all!!!

Please check at KaTteEnPrAaT's CaTWaLk to see what we are up to!

You Go Girl!

Here is the REAL winner of this contest.
Thank you Skeezix for the graphic!

Apologies and Awards

We would like to apologize for not visiting a lot these days. We wish we could just blame it ALL on the help who is overly busy with their own affairs and don't give us much computer time - but we ARE a bit lazy ourselves...

It's the season, as desert dwellers we always have a hard time with the 30plus night temperatures and the below lizard day temperatures... We do hope to pull ourselves together soon and visit all of you to catch up on what you are doing. Out there in the REAL winter, hahahahahahahahaha!

The Guests Who Stayed Forever...

Maybe some of you might have guessed it already but it is official:
Notty (formerly spelled Naughty) and Luna were upgraded from house guests to forever "Cat Realmer".
Tintin is totally enamored with Luna and Notty loves the staff so Mrs. OZ and I decided to keep them forever. And their former owner can't take care of them the way they deserve, so he agreed too!
The staff just shook their heads and bought more food and litter, HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Welcome to The Cat Realm, Notty and Luna!

P.S. These pictures are a couple weeks old - so Luna of course is already a bit bigger!!!
And yes - Anastasia could have been Luna's soul mate.....

Secret Paws - Finally!

Finally we find the time to post about our fabulous Secret Paw!
We received it last year already....
And it came from Jeff, the new guy at The Morning Scratch!

Wonderful things: tartar removing chew toys, noise making toys, catnip stuffed toys, grain free wet food - THANK YOU SO MUCH JEFF!!!
And in case you are wondering where I am - behind the camera of course!
