meanwhile at gracie's place:


meanwhile back at the cat realm:

it looks as if edna and coco put seuss blindfolds on mrs. OZ, tintin and notty to trick them into sleeping so that the two rascals could hide in my suitcase....

happy birthday gracie!

Secret Paws

Our Secret Paws came perfectly on time: December 24! But of course we didn't GET the package then because the staff was "too busy" to take pictures.... And then today they decided they had time....









THANK YOU SO MUCH Halloween!!!

Happy Holidays To You All!

What Is Going On?

Dona Nobis Pacem

She's Home

Mrs. OZ is home and so grateful about it she doesn't even hold a grudge against the maid! She is eating, drinking, playing and purring so we figure she is o.k. We are leaving her alone for now so she can recuperate as her mouth must still hurt because she had major dental work done:

She found a place up high and sleeps, you can still see the wrapping where she had the IV.

Thank you all for your well wishings!

And Yet ANOTHER Surprise Party

As our CEO Sassy is stepping down from her position at Little Productions (read about it at Sassy's blog) we (Opus and Ollie, Momo, Asta, Ruis and Karl) decided to give her surprise party! At Versailles! And of course combine it with a trip to Paris, hahahahahahahahahaha.

Please join us in this five day adventure over at the CCSI blog:
Day 1
Day 2
Day 3
Day 4
Day 5

Oh Yes!!!

Mrs. Oz is now officially an old decrepit cat, hahahahahahahahahahaha! She has bad gingivitis and needs to have pretty much half her teeth extracted... As she is only living with us for the past two years (she is 10) the maid and the butler blame the sorry state of her mouth on the former owners as we others all have excellent teeth!
We are waiting for her bloodwork (called a "senior wellness profile" with emphasis on SENIOR, hahahaha) and then a "dental" will be scheduled.

Please help purring for Mr. Tigger to come home!

And by the way - it is my (Karl's) Gotcha Day today which the staff forgot.
Again!
Their excuses: getting OZ to the VET (half an hour, several human injuries, peed on carpet, spiting, biting, hissing, etc. etc.) and being intoxicated. The maid is on heavy vicodin as she has the kind of ear infection where the doctor said "Oh my - this is worse than I thought, this is bad!"
Serves her well!

And Yet ANOTHER Party!

Yeah - we are not called "party animals" for nothing!!! We flew right from Opus surprise birthday party in Rome to Asta's surprise party in New York - Don't miss to go there and wish her a happy birthday and see the pictures of the party! (Departure picture courtesy of Sassy)

Happy Birthday Asta!

Another Party!

Today is Opus birthday! And Ollie is throwing a surprise party in Rome and everybody is invited. The party is at Opus and Ollie's blog, and don't miss to check out Sassy's and Asta's blogs too for more pictures!

Ollie picked us all up with the MFV and flew us to the Colosseum where the party takes place.

picture by Ollie

We decorated it for the occasion...

Sassy brought a 'colossal' birthday cake and we performed a play just for the fun of it.

Then someone mentioned "chariot race" - we went through all of Rome!

Check out the other blogs for more birthday fun and then join us for the party!

Happy Birthday and Happy Blogoversary Opus!

Happy Birthday/Gotcha Day Momo!

Today is our good friend Momo's Gotcha Day. And as she is not telling her exact birthday she is celebrating that too! And she is having a party! So head on over to her blog, we are already at the party!

Calendar Cats and Dare Result List

Finally here is the list of all the entries to our last Dare! The Cat Blogosphere is starting one of the winning entries TODAY: go here to become part of the nude cat calendar!
We (the CB with our help) hope to start the second winner, and the third place soon too.
If any of the participants want to do their entry - feel free to go ahead! There are so many good ideas, we really hope do to them all at one point!!!
So, below is the list, and after reading it go here and become a "calendar cat", hahahahahahahaha!


winner: Diamond Emerald-Eyes
Colored mousies will be hidden in blogs – if you want to participate you request a mouse from the organizer and will get one to hide in your blog – then everyone can look for those mousies. When you find one you email the color and the blog address and how it was hidden (in the sidebar, in a post graphic, etc.) to the organizer.
The cats (or dogs, or others) who find the most mousies in a given time will get an award.

winner: Milo and Alfie
Cats send in their “nude” (think “full monty q.”!) pictures and which month they represent (should be reflected in picture). Participating cats will pay an “entry fee” in the form of a donation to their favorite charity (does not have to be big!)
Winners for each month will be chosen and a “nude cat calendar” (‘calendar cats’, hahahahahaha) published.

third place: Curator
Every month a date is picked and that will be a “silly fake happy (whatever) day”. Ideas? Examples: Official Foot Floof Day, Mancat Day (nod to Whicky Whuudler there), Whisker Growing Day

Fin
A Hunt Week will be declared, where kitties could show off their hunting skills at their blogs. Can be text, pictures, hunting fancy feast, etc… Participants get a badge.

Maggy
The Sherwood Seven Search Day Challenge Now this is the most elaborate game of all! To try and explain it in short: It is a search (like an easter egg hunt) for the seven Sherwood kitties who each will be hidden in someone’s blog who volunteers to participate and hide one of them.

Derby
A scavenger hunt all throughout the CB where participants hide certain objects and for each participant a sentence with a hint of what is hidden will be posted on the CB.

The Crew
Anyone can choose a certain national/international "day" and then CB members tell a story, write a poem or post pictures having to do with that "day". Cats who choose should notify the CB in advance to avoid overlapping and should also promote that day on their blog.
Examples: National Ravioli Day? National PINK Day. International Box. Talk Like a Pirate Day.

Chey
A lot of photos don't get used. At the end of each month we should have an outtake day--maybe the last Thursday of each month--Thankful that we don't have to post these all the time Thursday.

MissPeach
Post a picture of YOURSELF in a frying pan with something very interesting also in the frying pan! Then tag another kitty to add another ingredient to the frying pan until the frying pan is filled with as many silly things as it can hold!

Socks, Scylla and Charybdis
Find a fun way to cool off and take a picture of it. Squirt each other with hoses, squirt guns, drop water balloons on each other and it goes without saying staff would be fair game.

Peggy
Everyone should find blogging cats whose name starts with each letter of their humans name.
Example: (I used my name so to not give away the ID of this entry, Karl)
K - Kashim
A - Adan
R - Ramses
L - Latte

Rocky
Each participant should visit 5 new blogs...page....or whichever..
(and at least 1 has to be a NOMS...) and list 5 things about it..

Ozark Mountain Cats
Sponsor a little Nip and Snip at a shelter kitty in your neighborhood.
Print off the coupon below and take it to the local shelter. Have the shelter humans sign the coupon and mail it to ML.
ML, thanks to your devotion to Kitties all over da World, a Woofie (kitty) named _______________________ has paid for a Nip and Snip in your honor at ________________________(name of shelter)

The Taylor Catsssss
A postcard exchange. Everyone sends a postcard from their state to other CB members. The postcard must represent their state.

Ruis
Make a guest star appearance in your favorite television series, talk show or movie for yourself, your family and/or friends (cats, dogs, bunnies, etc only.)
Can be photoshop, drawing or painting, just tell the story in which you are guest starring.

Wally, Ernie and Zoe
Everybody posts pictures of themselves wearing beards!!!
