For those of you whose humans are not too young, your humans might have had a Monchhichi (in French, we pronounced it Monkeykey) monkey doll when they were kids.
My human had one and since she wasn’t playing with it anymore because, she said, she was already an adult when I adopted her, she gave it to me. It seems strange to me that she would stop playing with it because it’s a fun toy and I loved it.
Did you or your human have a Monchhichi?
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: Smile, Texas, this is for my birthday
Texas: I think I had too many mojitos…
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.
This post has been turned to pink in honor of and to remember our Furriend Skeezix who has recently crossed the Bridge.
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!
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!
Remember when I had won this fabulous toy that is the cat-a-pole?
Well, the prize also included some great toys from Moderncat (now Hauspanther.com), as well as litter (World’s best cat litter) and a lickety stick (but we’ll have a post about those last two tomorrow or on Sunday).
We really wanted to post pictures because we love these toys, AND I think it is the least we can do to say thank you. But that was a period when the human was super busy (huh-oh, looks like more busy-ness is to come) and we never did.
So here are some pictures… and a video of Kitshka!
[You can click on any picture to get a bigger version in the slideshow.]
My preference went to the ModKicker, which smelled good catnip! Kitshka and I both like the Felt Rollers, but Kitshka is playing with them more than I do. She is also having fun with the Junk Food Flyer but her favorite one, actually really one of her favorite toys EVER (she takes it everywhere in the house), is the Lynks Felted Wool Toy! She loves it!
So, we want to say THANK YOU to Zee & Zoey and Moderncat for the fun!
[If you cannot see the video on this blog, check it here]
I don’t know what I love best: my fishie or the silvervine in its tummy. I lick it, I nom it, I play rough with it… okay sometimes I kiss it too. Everybody needs a little love, even silvervine fishies.
Nobody is allowed to touch my fishie though. Not even Kitshka. This is MY fishie.
You can click on any picture if you want a bigger me on your screen. Who wouldn’t want a bigger me on their screen? Not you, I hope!
Let’s start with WordPress and issues with comments and the reader. For a couple of months now, there have been some bugs (not the yummy ones) with both:
If you’re in one of these categories, and have noticed some problems I apologize on behalf of, yes, WordPress. Hopefully they are going to make things work better in 2013.
Nevertheless, I don’t want to complain too much as they make available for free a wonderful tool that enabled me to find new furriends all around the world. So thank you and keep up the good work, WordPress!
I thought I would show you some pictures of what we got from our humans, for Christmas. I’ll also do another post later with pictures of our Secret Paws lovely package – thanks to Marg and her furry family!
So, from the humans, we got a Pet Fusion Cat Lounge. We love it!
We also got a selection of toys from Nips & Bones, you know the ones that smell really good!
I got a silvervine fishie. I love my fishie. AND SILVERVINE!
Kitshka and I also each got one of the new Neko flies! Here you can see me play with one of the (silly) humans:
Milou got a catnip heart and a honeysuckle octopus:
Kitshka got, well, a neko fly (but she hasn’t played with it yet, she played with mine – hmpf) and a lizard wool toy:
So yes, basically, while Milou and I were getting a little high checking our sense of smell was working, Kitshka nomed and conquered a lizard. I’m so proud of my little sis!
See you tomorrow for the last day of 2012! And remember on January 1st, it is one of my best furriends ever’s birthday: it’s Sammy‘s birthday and he’s hosting a pawty!
Many things happened while my human was doing something else than posting on my blog…
But first things first: thank you all for sending purrs and messages to Dayak. Her Mom left a message in the comments of my post to say that she was sleeping a lot due to the medication. We are waiting for more news and hope she is going to be better really soon. I keep sending purrs.
In other news, from my home this time, Kitshka has deaded another toy. Really deaded.
See, Spitty? This one has no magical powers I’m afraid and will not come back to life. It never was a favorite of mine or Grouik or Milou, but Kitshka liked it a LOT. As you can obviously guess. But that’s okay because we have other toys. More on this in the days to come ;-)
Some time ago, I was one of the lucky winners of a Purina Be Happy T-Shirt over at Cat Chat. Thanks to Cody and Caren!
So my human and I went to the site (actually their Facebook page) where we could make our own t-shirt. Because you see, the coolest part was that we could “make” the t-shirt the way it pleased us me. So I told my human to make it about me.
Guess what? Yep, she messed up. Check the t-shirt.
It is a very nice t-shirt but how is it about me?
Doesn’t smell like me…
Is the kitty supposed to be me? Just wondering because I don’t have any fishbowl to fish from here…
Here’s what I think about you making this t-shirt a tribute to me…
Busy busy busy…
Shhh shhh!
What?! Yes, human, you can wear this nice t-shirt… as long as you get me a fishbowl with a magical fishie inside, like Spitty’s
Actually, I don’t really need the fishbowl. I’ll be magnanimous (VBP): the magical fishie alone will do.
Thanks to Cody and Caren and Purina and Happy Caturday everyone!
I has a sad.
What you are about to see is a little bit gruesome, so if you have a sensible heart, you may not want to see the following pictures.
Let me start with why and the least gruesome of pics.
Kitshka is very energetic. Well, she’s a kitten, so that’s quite normal and healthy.
As mentioned before, despite the fact that the humans got her brand new toys just for her, she had to use our toys.
And destroy them.
Here is my beloved Kragonfly, all torn and chewed.
Now is the time to turn away if you can’t bear to see destroyed beloved toys…
Here is our Da Bird, or what’s left of it.
My human doesn’t want us to play with it anymore, but she says she cannot buy a new one just yet. Hmph.
And here is the little lady responsible for that. And proud of it!
I want new toys!!
My human received a big box from France the other day. Turns out there was something for us cats in it. Balls. Brand new balls. Yep. You don’t believe me? Check it here.
Personnally, I preferred this:
I have to say that I was very not happy when my human got an iPad about 2 years ago. More time I got stolen.
Anyway, about a year ago, she came to me and Milou, all happy to show us what she calls an app (?!), as if it was some kind of toy for us. But that was not funny. Yes, there was something moving on the little black screen. Was it real? No. Was it funny? No. Did it smell catnip? No.
[My human cannot find the pics of me and Milou in front of this silly thing. I really have to start monitoring my human’s work!]
Here is more about the app:
In 2011, he decided to add to his creative portfolio by devising a Friskies app for the Apple iPad featuring simple video games that humans could play with their cats. True, most cats walk by the iPad and pay no bother. But some of the more curious ones find the floating fish on the iPad screen interesting enough to paw. Nestle Purina’s experiment has garnered 500,000 downloads so far.
Ok. Just because this app is not sophisticated enough doesn’t mean we are not curious. Milou and I are very curious cats. And yes I know about Karl Lagerfeld’s cat but Choupette is just a kid!
Now if you would excuse me, I have more important things to do than to play with a silly human toy. I need a nap.
