Mancat Monday

Recently I was inducted into The Good Kitty Club started by my contemporary and friend, Inigo.



Bragging about my 'goodness' wouldn't be right, so I will just post this picture that Mommy took of me surrounded by a mysterious white light.



Mommy says I'm so good...



...but it could be in comparison to my housemate who seems to be able to spin her head all the way around when she's caught nibbling on the houseplants! That can't be good.

Thank you to all who participated in my Torttoes contest! Before I reveal the winner, I am going to reveal ALL of my toes!

We had ten entries, and two of them offered to bow out and let others get the prizes, but Mommy left them in the draw anyway (we know, she's very bad!) Here are the correct answers in case anyone was stuck:

1.Sweet Praline
2.Sweet Pea

5.Delilah
6.Maggie May
7.Meredith Ann
8.May Ling
9.Cricket
10.Pricilla

She asked me to draw the winner...



I couldn't do it! Even Samson had a hard time, so Mommy just reached in and picked one of the pieces of paper.

The winner is...Amy and The House of Cats!!

Congratulations, you guys! We think the hairy blanket will come in handy with the new kittens you're getting this weekend!

Tortie T(h)ursday

Sweet Pea here!

Delilah's Torttoes contest is finally coming to a close. I promised her that I would do a recap of all the toes so far, but I'll get to that after my news.

I'm going to the vet on Tuesday for my 'surprise'! By my next Tortie T(h)ursday, I'll know exactly what it is that Delilah is all excited about. I also have to wait until after my surprise to visit Samson and Delilah again. Their Mommy thinks Samson is getting a little kooky when he sees me. Don't tell Deli, but I think Samson has a crush on me!

I'm enjoying time in my new apartment with my Daddy. He said that after my surprise, he wants to find another Tortie friend for me. I don't know how I feel about that, but if this new Tortie is out there reading my post, I have a message for her...

He's mine!



In other Sweet Pea news, I won my last bout in Kitty Fight Club! Thank you to all of you who voted for me! I am in the finals now so I will ask you one more time if you can vote for me. You can vote by clicking HERE

Now to recap the Torttoes! Here is the list of the models again:

Delilah
Sweet Pea
Isabella from The Beaded Tail
Maggie May from The Creek Cats
The most beautiful Tortie guardian angel ever, Callie, from The Kitty Krew
Tasha from Mishkat
Sweet Praline from her self-titled blog
Pricilla from The Kitty Trio
Bijoux from Animal Shelter Volunteer Life blog
May Ling from The Katnip Lounge
Cricket from The Kool Kittie Krew
Meredith Ann from the Lilacs and Cats blog


And you'll need to match them up with these toes! I've added in new hints, but you can see the other hints by clicking HERE and HERE


1.) Way sweeter than candy! This Tortie is so floofy, you can't see the pads on her feet!



2.) I know these toes better than any toes!




3.) In Italian, they say tanto bella to mean so beautiful! I think this girl's name is appropriate.



4.) Angels come in many shapes and sizes, and this beautiful angel has a lot of brothers and sisters to watch over.



5.) When I first saw these toes, they were HUGE! Since I've grown, they're getting smaller and hurt less when they punish me, but they're still HUGE!




6. This pretty girl's Mom does a lot of work with TNR in her area, and we love her, her Mom and her brothers and sisters!



7. We think this Tortie is more beautiful than the flowers in her blog title!



8. A siamese Tortie is a beautiful thing, and this girl has plenty of spunk too! You can sometimes find her 'lounging', though.



9. This girl has the sweetest little face! She lives with her new brothers and sister and she has the cutest little human bean to play with!



10. This dilute beauty is a new friend of ours from down under. My very obvious hint is, there are THREE of them and you can tell that by their blog name.



11. Delilah says I can learn a lot from this Tortie! She bosses around two brothers!



12. Her name means jewel or trinket.



To enter the contest, you will need to match the Tortie to the toes and submit it to us before 9:00 PM EST tonight. All correct answers will be entered into the draw for all three of Delilah's gifts! You can submit your answers to us by clicking the 'contact me' link in our profile.

Good luck!

Tortie Tuesday

It's very hot here today, and we do not have our air conditioner set up. Mommy says that she wants save some electricity costs and take advantage of the cross breeze in our apartment. I think she'll cave in if it gets any hotter...this is ridiculous! My furs are curling.

I only have the energy to show one of my Torttoes today, but, according to Mommy, it's the cutest one.




All of our other models seem to have more spunk than me today, though. Some of them are showing all four of their toes!

You can see our other clues and other Torttoes by clicking HERE and then HERE. Sweet Pea will be recapping all the Torttoes and list again on Thursday, so you'll have the opportunity to go over them again. We'll be announcing the winner on Friday, May 28th, so you can submit your answers any time after today. The correct guesses will be entered into the draw to win all three of the prizes!


Once again, here are the models:

Delilah
Sweet Pea
Isabella from The Beaded Tail
Maggie May from The Creek Cats
The most beautiful Tortie guardian angel ever, Callie, from The Kitty Krew
Tasha from Mishkat
Sweet Praline from her self-titled blog
Pricilla from The Kitty Trio
Bijoux from Animal Shelter Volunteer Life blog
May Ling from The Katnip Lounge
Cricket from The Kool Kittie Krew
Meredith Ann from the Lilacs and Cats blog


We have a lot of Torttoes to get to today, so here is where we left off:

6. This model is a friend of ours. In fact, she's one of the first kitties we met in the CB. The hint is, her name reminds us of a Rod Stewart song, and she lives in a house near some water.



7. This beautiful fluffy Tortie is a fairly new friend to us. The hint is, her blog title involves something purple and pretty that you might find in a garden (yes, I'm being obvious).



8. This Tortie is a new friend of ours. We already adore all the cats there, and this Tortie meezer is no exception! What a beauty!



9. This new addition to the family is such a cutie! Her name is like an insect and she's as floofy as can be.



10. This dilute beauty is another new friend of ours. My very obvious hint is, there are THREE of them and you can tell that by their blog name.



11. This Tortie is one of my best friends in the CB. She was the first Tortie we met, and she continues to inspire me to be a better Tortie. Her Mom makes very beautiful quilts, but this Tortie doesn't help, she just enjoys them! Her two brothers get to enjoy them too, but only when she says it's okay.



12. Last, but certainly not least, this pretty girl was once in the very caring hands of a wonderful shelter, but has now moved on to a new forever home.




That's all the toes! If you have already guessed them and you want to be entered into the draw, you can send your answers to us by clicking on the 'contact us' link in our profile. If not, don't worry, Sweet Pea will have the recap on Thursday. When you submit your answers, you just need to tell us which Tortie matches with which toes. All correct answers will be entered into a draw for the prizes.

I'm even more tired now, so back to the snooze!

Mancat Monday

Like so many of you pointed out to me, one of the advantages of moving is all of the boxes...before you move and after.

Mommy has unpacked most of the boxes and even put some into recycling, but because I wasn't feeling comfortable in our new apartment at first, she let me pick out a couple that I could keep. My favorite is this DVD player box.




I've broken it in so perfectly, that it keeps my shape, even when I'm not on it. Who needs memory foam?



It's a great place to bathe and hang out with Mommy when she watches TV.



I am feeling much better now. We bought some Bach's Rescue Remedy and put it in our water. Mommy also bought a second litter box, so both Delilah and I can have our own toilets. With all this, I'm finally starting to enjoy my new apartment.

Mommy is bending over backwards to make me feel comfortable. She even makes sure I eat by bringing my food to me, wherever I am!



A Mancat could really get used to this! Too bad, it probably won't last...

Fun Toy Friday

We were very honored to be chosen as testers for The Casbah Kitten's new toy - Rare orange-tongued noisy night frogs!



We received one for each of us to test, and since I'm writing this blog, we'll start with my review.

These little froggies smell SO good! It must be the premium nip that Jane and Alice grow in their garden. I couldn't help but rub this little critter all over my face.



They're slippery too! While I turned to see what Mommy was all excited about on the TV...



...my froggy slipped away! Don't worry, I punished him later.



Samson also noticed how wonderfully intoxicating these little guys are. He was instantly drunk on the nip!



He got so silly that he tried to wear his froggy on his feet! Mommy says the human equivalent is a lampshade over the head.



Sweet Pea may be new to toy testing, but she has impressed me with her thoroughness! In her enthusiasm, she really put her froggy to the test, and by all accounts, her little froggy was a hit!





She even tasted his froggy legs!



We all agree that these froggies are wonderfully tasty, easy to bat around and the nip is highly potent. We give the Rare Orange-Tongued Noisy Night Frogs eight very enthusisastic thumbs up (Sweet Pea has two extra thumbs). These yummy creatures will be available in The Casbah Kitten store in early June.

Monkey tested - Monkey approved!

Tortie T(h)ursday

Sweet Pea here!

I'm enjoying the beautiful weather by sitting on my balcony of our new apartment with my Daddy. There's so many new things to see!




Delilah has asked me to help her out with her Tort-Toes contest by posting some more mystery toes.

Once again, here is the list of the models:

Delilah
Sweet Pea
Isabella from The Beaded Tail
Maggie May from The Creek Cats
The most beautiful Tortie guardian angel ever, Callie, from The Kitty Krew
Tasha from Mishkat
Sweet Praline from her self-titled blog
Pricilla from The Kitty Trio
Bijoux from Animal Shelter Volunteer Life blog
May Ling from The Katnip Lounge
Cricket from The Kool Kittie Krew
Meredith Ann from the Lilacs and Cats blog


It has come to our attention that it may be a little difficult to guess all the toesies. We are going to give even better hints on the first two so that it should be easier. Here's a recap of the first two toesies, with new hints:

1.) This girl is both 'sweet' and extra floofy. I detect a bit of a southern accent in her purrs too!



2.) There's not a lot more I can say about this kitty, except polydactyls have more fun...and I should know!



Now, to add to the list of the mystery toesies, here are todays additions:

3.) This beautiful Tortie lives out west with an 'angelic' cat sister and a doggy sister! She also helps her Mom to make beautiful things



4.) We are certain that someone misses kissing these toesies very much! They are so pretty and kissable.



5.) These toes are both soothing and punishing, like any good Tortie mentor's toes should be. I'm also supposed to say that they're beautiful...or she'll smack me with them!



Good luck!

Sweet Pea
