I Am a Dinosaur Now. Roarrrrr!

Hiya everyone!

Texas, a Parisian Cat in America

(These are toys from Christmas that I haven’t been able to post about yet)

My human says she is sorry she has been so busy she could not help me with my blog (again) (she sounds like what humans call a broken record). She says she’s slept only 2 hours last night (humans are nuts). So?

Today is a special day. Today is my birthday and I turn 10! Kitshka told me I was a Senior now. Hmpft. Then, by email, my human told me the vet in NY had said I was a Senior when I turned 6. HMPFT.

Anyway, the good news is that rumor is my human is coming back for good in about a month (how many kibbles does that make?), so paws crossed. I’ll organize a big pawty when she’s back so you can all learn to know who I am again!

In the meantime, the male human bought me some special wet food that I really like.

That was good! Can you tell what I like most? You can have the leftovers. No wait, Kitshka and Milou already took care of them. Sorry!

Purrs,
Texas

Happy Purrthday to Me! I’m 8!

Hiya my Furriends,

Sorry I have not been around. My human has been unwilling to help me much. Today is my purrthday so she “consented” to typing this post…

You’ll never guess what she said I’ll get for my birthday… She said she would help me visit you this weekend and maybe type some posts! I really cannot wait!

Milou and Kitshka are doing fine too, by the way! Milou has regained some of the weight he had lost because of his health issues =^.^=

Hope you will forgive me and wait for me while I wait for my human…

Many purrs to y’all!

What Special Day Is It Today?

The special day of a special Furriend!

All of us at le château de Texas, as well as a lot of people in the Blogosphere, want to wish Pam, Sammy‘s Mom, a very HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

May your day be full of love, happiness and human treats!

My Three Moggies‘ humans made a compilation of our wishes:

[If you cannot see the video on this blog, click here to see it on YouTube]

We all hope it brings a smile =^.^=

Kitshka wanted to add that she supervized my human during all the time she was making your card!

Please join us in wishing Pam a
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!

Happy Birthday to Pam! | Texas, a cat in... Austin

Happy Birthday, Milou!

Happy Birthday, Milou!

Happy Purrthday, Milou! We can’t believe you are 14!

Look! Sammy sent you this cool card:

milouBD

Thank you Sammy!

And then the human of Zoey the Cool Cat posted this video in the comments for you:

Thank you!

And look what Archie, Oscar, and Henry created:

milou

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

Today is your special day! And even though you keep on hissing at me all the time (like, ALL the time), I am wishing you many more years of happiness and what you do best, farniente!

Here are some pictures of Milou taken when we were still in New York. He’s a real hard worker!

So we Milou had the fountain and the box that came with it as gifts. My human was looking for something else (let it be a nip toy! let it be a nip toy!), that she couldn’t find at the local pet store, so there might be some surprises for tonight. I will keep you posted. And if you were wondering, there is still no nip in the metallic cat‘s arms BUT there is cat grass growing on the deck =^.^=

Without further ado, let’s pawty like there is no vacuum cleaner!

We’ve got fresh salmon and tuna! We’ve got all sort of raw fish!

sashimi

We’ve got chicken breast and KFC fried chicken (Sparkle, we know you like them).

We’ve got nip cigars and nip pillows and wait…

I am granting each and everyone of you access to the toilet paper! Woohoo!

Have fun and HAPPY BIRTHDAY MILOU!

Belated Thanks on Caturday and an Update on our Cat Tree

Despite the craziness that is our house these days, we want to take a moment to thank you all for coming to my Gotcha Day Pawty and to Kitshka’s Birthday Pawty.

I know! This was almost a month ago! But I just wanted to stress that we really appreciated, despite the silence!


My human (who is obviously at least partly responsible for the craziness), would also like to thank all of our readers who wished her a happy birthday (again almost a month ago) via my blog (she thanked those who posted wishes on her blog already – hmpf).

My furriend Easy had sent this pawsome card for her:

And I had ordered a gift for my human’s birthday. A gift I found at Mollie and Alfie‘s shop, here. Lovely cat earrings I paid for with my human’s paypal account kibbles for Alfie.

Well, my furriends added a lovely bracelet with it! I was very happy (because Kitshka played with and broke my gift to my human, a hairball bracelet!) and so was my human! She was very moved! She loves both the earrings and the bracelet!

Look at these!

THANK YOU VERY MUCH from the both of us!

Mollie and Alfie sell cat and doggie stuff (if you care for doggies!). Check their online shop when you have some time!


In other news, you might have seen that the humans have disassembled our cat tree and put it in a box yesterday? Well, Kitshka has a plan (again!). She has seized the male human’s tools and plans to re-assemble our tree during the night!

Does anyone by any chance has the assembly notice though?

Happy Purrthday, Mademoiselle Kitshka!

Happy Purrthday, Mademoiselle Kitshka!

Thank you all very much for your wishes for my/my human’s Gotcha Day and for coming to my pawty and for visiting my bloggie! We are late on visiting again but we do our best to visit you every time we can!

Today we celebrate Kitshka’s first birthday! Are you ready?

Kitshka received some nice cards from Furriends. Sammy and Easy sent her these lovely cards:

Kitshka sends bisous to the both of you!

She had chicken & duck stew topped with freeze-dried shrimps and a Kitshka-size dollop of cream cheese (which she attacked first).

It wasn’t easy for my human to take pictures because Little K is quick to eat anything in front of her.

And if someone tries to steal her food, she has the situation in her paws…

Then came the gifts, with which she immediately started to play!


Can you tell she likes feathers? She likes her new snake too!


After all these adventures, our happy, one year old, Mademoiselle Kitshka is napping.

We are all so happy to have you in our family, Kitshka. Even if you are a little crazy, we all love you to bits =^.^=
HAPPY PURRTHDAY, PRETTY GIRL!


This post has been turned to pink in honor of and to remember our Furriend Skeezix who has recently crossed the Bridge.

The Week To Come: Celebrations, Celebrations, Celebrations!

Hiya Everyone!

Sorry we have been posting and visiting sporadically lately. I was hoping to catch up today but my human spent hours on the computer and then… she went for a walk in the forest!!!

Here is what she got when she came back:

Texas a Cat in New York, cat tree, talk to the paw

Talk to the paw.

Now for the fun part. Next week, there will be a lot of celebrations! Which means nip and treats!

Monday, June 24
This is Sparkle’s birthday! Yeah! And this is also Cat World Domination Day!

This is also the day I have chosen my human, 7 years ago! I have to admit, after 7 years, I still have to train her everyday. Well, we’ll see if she comes up with something I can be proud of tomorrow…

Wednesday, June 26
This is Kitshka’s birthday. She will be one year. Can you remember this pic of her? It was months ago!

She’s grown up now but she is as pretty as ever!

Thursday, June 27
This is my human’s birthday. Not that we should care… except that she usually gives us extra treats because it’s her birthday. In the end, 7 years of training have yielded some good results too ;-)

Have you got something special to celebrate this week? Let us know so we can celebrate with you!

Who’s Seven Today? Little-Not-So-Old Me!

Who’s Seven Today? Little-Not-So-Old Me!

Hiya everyone!

First of all, the VBP post will be posted exceptionally (VBP) by Kitshka tomorrow.

Now to really impawtant things.

How are you doing today? I’m glad that you came because my human has been preparing some treats for my purrthday just for me and I want to share them with my furriends! That’s you!

First things first: look at the beautiful cards I received from my furriends!

My very good furriend, Sammy!

Thank you Sammy! I love your hat!

My sweetest furriend, Savannah!

It’s an honor to have such a beautiful Ladycat sending me a card!

My human’s mother – the best cat sitter EVER! – sent me this yummy cupcake on Facebook!

purrfect cupcake

Doesn’t it look yummy? I bet it’s tuna!

And I also received chicken from Vincent, one of my Facebook fans!

Oh! I almost forgot: my vet sent me a cool ecard too!

Thank you all so furry much! And thank you to all of you who left wishes on my Facebook profile!

Look what I got!

4 different bags of treats, catnip puffs, a catnip pepper and… a tunnel! I love my catnip pepper already!

The tunnel is amazing! It sounds like crinkly paper and there are lights!

I received my best favorite ever food from Europe, thanks to Janina!

And as a cake, my human wanted to make me a tuna cake BUT since I had received all this wonderful food from France, I had my favorite: Tuna & Shrimps!

There is some for everyone, so help yourself! There are treats too! Go ahead! You can taste them all!

Then we can go play in my new tunnel!

Finally, the human had this weird idea to bake something for your humans too. When she told me what she baked, I was shocked! SHOCKED!

Wanna know what it is?

This could be part of our VBP post… take notes Kitshka.

Okay I tell you…

Cat’s tongues! Yes, in French, des langues de chat!

Have no fear! Those are just biscuits that have the shape of our tongues. Ah! Humans really!

You can throw some to your humans, and let’s have fun!

I want to pawty!

VBP Thursday: Some News Ahead

[Still not sure what VBP is? Check here.]


I take a break from my weekly bilingual VBP post to dispatch (VBP) some news.

First, little-no-so-old me is literally (VBP) in the news! Yes I am!

No, not the newspawper! But I’m in a magazine. You know this bundle (VBP) of glossy (VBP) papers the humans (especially female humans) read. Want to know more? Consider visiting me on Saturday (well, yes, today is VBP day, I can’t take all the glory ;-)


Second piece of news is that little-not-so-old me is turning 7 in exactly one week! I don’t feel like I am aging (VBP)! Can you tell this face is almost 7?

Look at this strong body of mine (Hello! Lady Cats!)

Doesn’t this paw look brand new?

Ah! I knew it! So you are all invited to my purrthday next Thursday. Remember, April 4.


Last and least, my human is abandoning me to go to going to the Blog Paws Conference in May. Everything’s booked (VBP) but the transportation. You think there’s still hope she’ll stay with me?

Below are the past week’s pawticipants. As always, click on the bluey badge at the bottom of this post to enter your link for this week. And don’t forget to grab the badge! Thanks to everyone!

Mademoiselle Kitshka’s Birthday, Boxing Day, and Thanks!

Mademoiselle Kitshka’s Birthday, Boxing Day, and Thanks!

Today, Mademoiselle Kitshka is 6 month old! Happy birthday, Kitshka!
Now that you’re almost not a kitten anymore, could you stop playing with my tail? What? No. Pfft. Okay.

Here are pictures of little K. striking a paws on (in?) one of our Christmas gifts!

~~~

Since today is Boxing Day, we didn’t want to miss it! We LOVE boxes! And that is part of the wonderfulness of Christmas: boxes left behind!
I know on this day we are supposed to give our humans a gift, but aren’t we, kitties, a year-long gift, really?

~~~

And last but not least, I would like to say thank you to Ann at Pawsitively Pets for making me a drummer kitty in her fabulous Anipal Tribute to the 12 Days of Christmas. Check it out, it is fantastic! Here’s little not-so-old me:

Thank you Ann!

Purrs to all!
