Cinqo De Meowie "Woof" PawPawty Saturday May 2- Sunday May 3

Calling all Anipals, it is time for another Pawty this weekend.
You voted and here it is... the next #pawpawty is going to be held on the 2nd and 3rd of May yep that is this weekend. We will start at 19:00DST UK, 11:00PDT, 14:00EDT, 06:00NZST, and yes it will be for 24 hours.

The theme of the pawty is Mexican this time so there will be lots of sombreros, flowers and feathers. All Girlie anipals remember that dresses should be frilly. Our wonderful @emmythecat will be doing another paw wall for us, so be sure to get your costumes on and register at FrugalDougals blog http://frugaldougaldog.blogspot.com/ so @Emmythecat can add you to the wall.

The Venue this tim is a great new virtual location for our fiesta. It is a critter ranch were all anipals are welcome. There is a huge outdoor arena with space for Mexican Rodeo fun. The hot tubs are outside next to the swimming pool so anipals can relax after lots of dansing.

There will be a salsa dancing competition that will be held in The Big Red Barn.

Inside are three BARS. Two of the bars will have our well known DJ's cranking out our favorite tunes. The third bar is a relax and chill out bar with big comfy sofas to rest on.

There is a 24 hour banquet in the Green Barn serving up our favorite pawty treats. There will be tuna tacos, beef burritos, honey tortillas, cheerio enchiladas, carrot chimichangas, and lots and lots of hot sauce for those who want it.

If you want to bring a platter of treats to share with the anipals just drop it off in the Green Barn.

And of course, the most important part of the Pawty, is that we do this to raise funds for less fortunate anipals, so that they have a chance to have great homes like we all do.

This time around the charity is Margaret Green Animal Rescue in the UK. @FrugalDougal and @Emmythecat chose this shelter as they help all kinds of animals in need, not just doggies and kittehs.

Cinqo De Meowie Woof Pawty on May 2, 2009

Well once again the anipals are at it.  We are having another pawty on Saturday May 2 through Sunday May 3, 2009 in celebration of Cinqo de Mayo also known to the anipals as Cinqo De Meowie Woof. 

 

We are raising money to help a shelter in the UK this time and you can check this out at www.frugaldougal.com to see how to donate to this great charity.  One of the reasons that this charity was chosen was that they help all animals not just dogs and cats. 

 

The costume theme for this pawty is Mexican and all over Twitter you can see the sombreros, flowers and mexican dress popping up all over.  Excitement is in the air as anipals all over the world get ready for this pawty.

 

There are lots of donations for prizes coming in and if you wish to donate just let @FrugalDougal know what you are able to donate and he will add you to the list.

 

There will be 24 hour food and drinks for all of us with @SylvieDog mixing up some of her great concoctions once again for us.

 

So don your Mexican dress and grab your card for a donation and come join us at the pawty

It's Tuesday

Good Morning all of my anipal friends.

I have been very busy since last Friday. I was so honored to be inducted into Duke's Royal Pack. I am now to be known as "Sir Peter". I was also hononred by being voted CenterPets cat of the week.

Then of course we had the #pussycatisland pawpawty this past weekend. All of the anipals managed to raise $1,000 for SylvieDog's charity. This was the best news of all.

All of the anipals had so much fun at the pawty. Special thanks need to be given to @BabyPatches and @Rumblepurr for organzing such a great pawty on the island. Also @Morriscat needs to have a big thank you given to him for stepping up and hosting the pawty for several hours when @BabyPatches mammas internet connection went down. Morris hosted and conducted several contests all on his own for some great prizes and for this we are very grateful.

All of the anipals had so much fun on the island surfing,jet skiing, digging tunnels, dancing the conga,limbo and the hula. There was even some romantic waltzes in there and lots of opportunity for kittehs and others to shimmy, shimmy, shake, shake.

We had great bartender SylvieDog who took special bartending courses for the event. We also had some great and wonderful DJ's and this is a special thank you for all of your hard work making sure that we had wonderful entertainment.

Catnamedsinbad made us all special surfboard with our names on them and we all had fun with them and there were even a few rescues at sea using our boards.

I know that all would like to hear some juicy details of what happened on the island, but sorry; what happens on the island stays on the island.

All anipals are very tired now, from their antics on the island but I know everybody is looking forward to the next pawty.

There are no plans yet for another pawty but I am sure there will be one. Stay tuned

My Adventure Talking to @PetsareTalking

Two months ago, my mamma was on Twitter and she started following Petsaretalking. She got to talking to Bridgitte and found out that she is able to talk to animals. At that time Bridgette was doing some free readings for animals and I was lucky enough to get picked.

Apparently Mammma had three questions that she wanted Petsaretalking to ask me.

1. What kind of animal attacked me at the cottage last summer.

2. Why do I scratch at one place on the kitchen wall and..

3. Why is it that sometimes I look sad.

I had a lovely conversation with Bridget pets are talking. I told her that when I was at the lake last summer, and when mamma and daddy let me out at night I was attacked by a great big racoon. I almost died that night let me tell you. He was big and ferocious and tried to drag me into the lake. (Mamma always thought that it was an otter that had gotten me)

I also told her that I scratch at the one place on the wall because when daddy fixed the wall he missed a spot and I find it asthetically displeasing. That is why I scratch at it; and to of course remind daddy that he still has to fix it.

When Bridget asked me why I look sad sometimes the only response I could think of was "Well don't you look sad sometimes too?". I assured her that I was perfectly happy in my forever home with mamma and daddy.

For all of you out there that ever wanted to tell your human something, then you should ask for a reading from Bridgette. I was very glad that mamma got one for me.

Mamma is very happy about it too and is amazed that @petsaretalking could know all that about me, cuz only I knew those things. Mamma said that she was not sure she believed in the ability to talk to animals, but says she sure does now.

My Anniversay of My Forever Home

Hello everyone,

Thirteen years ago today I came to my forever home from the Humane Society in Winnipeg, Manitoba. I had been in the shelter for six months when my mamma found me.

I had been adopted out twice and both times they took me back. I don't really know why cuz I really am a nice kitteh. I guess those other humans just did not love me enough.

Now after 13 years of being in my forever home, I am so glads that those other humans did not keep me, cuz my mamma and my daddy are very good to me. They do not have any kids at home any more so I am their baby.

I would have liked to have had a brofur or a sisfur but mamma and daddy only wanted one cat.

I love my house and I go outside in the backyard and get to smell flowers (in the summer) and chase bugs (real and imaginary) and sometimes I get to chase moles (kinda like mousies). They are fast and I can never catch them though.

I just thought that I would write today about my adoption story. Maybe others will read this and adopt kittehs that need a home.

The very best place to get kittehs is from the Humane Society (like the ASPCA) or from a shelter. Those are the kittehs that needs the home the most.

I am trying to get mamma to help me put something on here called "widgets" to help raise money for shelter anipals, but we is having some troubles. I am sure we will figure it out soon.

I hopes all my anipals have a wonderful Easter, but remember not to eat the chocolates, else you will get very sick.

Love Petie the cat

Wednesday Morning

I am so proud to say that this is my very first blog post and I am so excited about it. This site is just developing so bear with my, as I am just a cat. As you can see I am an orange tabby and I is an old old cat; 15 years old but still happy and spry.

Well, here it is Wednesday morning and I am still recovering from the awesome #pawpawty on Twitter over the weekend. For those of you who do not know what a pawpawty is, it is a anipals that twitter and have a party to raise funds for different animal shelters. There is virtual food and drinks, dancing and pwizes. It sounds silly at first, but remember it is all for charity to assist poor animals that are in need.

I had a particulaly good time at the #pawpawty and even winned some pwizes. I have not been able to settle down since then and I was up singing about it at 4:00 am this morning. My hooman mamma was not impressed with my vocal talents.

Today in Winnipeg, it's finally starting to feel like spring and that coulds be why I was awake so early this morning. I thoughts there was mousies outside to play with.

I am also getting very excited about Easter, as my mamma always gets me Easter presents. This year I am wishing for a furminator so my furs will look nice and handsome.

I hopes to have lots of visitors to my blog and maybes other kittehs will visit and make comments. Maybe other kittehs who have blogs may have suggestions to make my site super terrific.
