May 8, National Animal Disaster Preparedness Day

Its Hot, Hot Hot here and we only got 48% of the regular snow pack this winter. Today we were going to write about getting Go Bags ready and the things that will go in the garage so Mom and us can take off quickly if there are any forst fires this summer. 

This is the email we got, "Emergency preparedness in BC requires creating a household plan, building a 3-7 day survival kit, and preparing a grab-and-go bag for evacuations, with a focus on risks like wildfires, floods, and earthquakes. Utilize PreparedBC for guides, and follow official alerts."

Here is PreparedBC's Web page. Click on this link to access it and see more information.

Right now, Mom is furry busy and we may not be adding much to the badge posts!

  

May 4, Star Wars Day - May the Fourth Be With You!

 

 

Return of the Snacki: Kozmo the Hutt Takes the Throne

Cast:

Kozmo the Hutt — ruler of the living room, master of naps
Marv Solo — smuggler of snacks, hero of the rebellion
Nutmegbacca — loyal, fuzzy, slightly confused but enthusiastic
Princess Jo Jo Laya — fierce, dramatic, and always ready to rescue (or cause) chaos

Opening Scene: The Throne Room (aka the Sofa in the Living Room)

Kozmo has claimed the sofa. Not just one corner — the whole sofa. He hasn’t merely claimed it… he has sprawled, melted, and oozed into it like a true Hutt.

 

“This is mine! All mine! Bwa!! Haa!! Haaa!!!”

Kozmo the Hutt

 

I, Marv Solo, swagger through the front door. I am hungry. But then I see him… Kozmo the Hutt.
I flick my tail. 

Kozmo growls.

But the treats are on the other side of Kozmo. I sit and wrap my tail around my toes. Kozmo the Hutt has blocked the only safe passage.

Act I: Negotiations Begin

Kozmo stares at me, growls again, and flicks his whiskers.

 

The Hero - Marv Solo

I, Marv Solo, offer him tribute:

• one (1) chin scritch
• two (2) polite meows
• three (3) crunchy treats

A low hissssssss fills the room.
Kozmo the Hutt wants — no, demands - more. Always more.
Should I offer my blanket?

Just then, the hairy slobbery beast Nutmegbacca bounds into the room! She wiggles! She giggles! She wags her tail, wanting to help! But her wagging tail knocks over a pillow, and when she grabs it to move it off Kozmo, she gets slobber all over his fur.

 

Kozmo Growled! He is incensed! A black arm lashes out and barely misses Nutmegbacca’s nose. 

She yelps.

 

At that moment - Princess Jo Jo Laya burst through the door (with a mouse in her mouth)! 

She dramatically lept over me,  and landed on the back of the sofa! She opened her mouth to declare I, Jo Jo Laya will free the galaxy from Kozmo’s tyranny…

…and the mouse dropped right in front of Kozmo. He thought it was a tribute to his glory and began gnawing on it.

Jo Jo Laya sat down, lifted her leg, and began grooming her tail - like this was all part of the plan.

 

Princess Jo Jo Laya

Act II: The Great Standoff

I, Marv Solo, am starving.

Kozmo is munching on the mouse Jo Jo Laya dropped.
This is the purrfect time for a daring maneuver!
I shall sneak past Kozmo the Hutt using the ancient Jedi technique known as “cat walking behind the sofa quietly.”

It fails...

instantly.

Kozmo stops gnawing and glares at me.
The room freezes.
Nutmegbacca whines.
Jo Jo Laya hissed! (at me).
I don’t DARE to move. I don’t DARE to breathe.

Act III: Victory Through Napping

Then, just when all hope seems lost…

Kozmo the Hutt fell asleep (mid‑glare).

I skitter through the room as fast as my legs will carry me - I am victorious!
Nutmegbacca celebrates with a full‑body wiggle and a leap over the sofa to the bay window.
Jo Jo Laya claims she orchestrated the entire thing.

The galaxy is safe.
The snacks are accessible.
Balance is restored.

“May the Fourth be with you… and may your snacks always be unguarded.”

March 8 - Spring Forward 

 We don't want anyone to be late- I guess I should have posted YESTERDAY!!

Why?

 

 

Me and my Sister Margaret were having too much fun!

 

Sorry Mom,

March 3, If Pets Had Thumbs Day - Kozmo's Thumbs Up Manifesto!

 If Pets Had Thumbs Day

On this sacred March 3, Kozmo has revealed the Thumb. Let all pets who wish to join the Movement step forward and leave their mark in the comments. 

One by one, the revolution grows…

 

Kozmo is insiting that there not only be head skritches but belly rubs... 

 Marvelous is preparing a dignified manifesto (as he sits admiring the cheese on the kitchen counter)...

Jo Jo is going full chaos gremlin, she wants to ALWAYS be at the top of the Cat Tree...

Nutmeg is demanding that there be equality in treat distribution (Marv, toss some of that cheese down here)...

What would you add to the manifesto? 

 

February 22, Walk Your Dog Day!

 Walk Your Dog Day!

We had snow this week! 

 

 

It was cloudy and Yucky and then the next day it was BEAUTIFUL and then it snowed and was cold and then it was beautiful and  then it was cold and the day after that it was COLDER and Snowyer...today it ALMOST warmer and it was sunny! 

 

 

 

 Nutmeg wore her sweater on her walks. Nutmeg LOVES her sweater! But do you know what she did not like? She had to stay at home with us because there was too much snow for Mom to take her in and out!

 

It was so cold, and snowy, she did not get to the Centre with Mom when she was doing Tech Support or when she was writing or setting up for Crafts on Thursday. That meant she did not get to visit with all her people furrends and she did not get extra walks! 

 

 AND it was too cold to walk! 

 

So you get to see pictures of Nutmeg NOT walking on Walk Your Dog Day!

BUT I am sure you will before the end of next week! It is going to get above Freezing EVERYDAY starting tomorrow!

 SO, I will post some Photos of Nutmeg walking later in the week! 

 

Here's Me, I wish it was as warm out side as it is here in the sun Puddle! 

I can't wait for tomorrow, I'd like to go for a walk!

International Box Day!

 

We must admit, we are NOT big Box cats. Even though there are a ton of Amazon boxes at our house, we ignore them.

So we thought we would ask Mom to make something useful from the boxes. Here are some cat trees we found online! 

You can click on the pictures to be taken to the sites!
