CAT ART SUNDAY~ THE DARKER THE NIGHT, THE BRIGHTER THE STARS

Cat Art Sunday is dedicated to our beloved friends who have gone off to the rainbow bridge all too soon. Now your purrrs delight the angels in heaven but we will remember them in our hearts forever.

THE AUTUMN FAIRY BROUGHT ME SOME MAGIC STICKS...

A little box was waiting for us when we got home yesterday. It had my favorite return address on it from my sweet Auntie Deb (the Autumn Fairy)! Look what she packed inside for me...well she thought I might not want to play with toys...but boy did I prove her wrong! Aren't they just the pretties autumn shades. What a wonderful gifty. I will share them with Buddy and Hunny Bunny...but not till I am all done with them! My Lapdaddy had some eyeball surgery yesterday. Now he has lazer eyes like I do!! We needed to keep the room dark for our evening TCM watching. So we put a candle into the lovely tea cup that Auntie Deb sent to mommy...it gave off such a pretty glow into the room. All was cozy at the cottage...thank you dear thoughtful Auntie Deb for your always purrrrrfect timing.

A COZY COTTAGE SCENE AT SIX O'CLOCK

Sleep...glorious sleep...we can never seem to get enough of it at the cozy cottage!

MORE MEWSINGS FROM THE AUGUST PATIO...

August is half over already and soon our thoughts will be turning to autumn. Someones here already are and her name is mommy. She loves autumn so much and has already prepared a quilty for the day bed in case we get a chilly wind or something silly like that. She folded it over so it is nice and fluffy...then tucked the end open with a watering can thing...silly mommy, that thing is full of holy stars and will never hold any water. She does anything to get me out of the litter girls room box!
I am curious...of course I am...hey I wouldn't be a cat worth my few furs if didn't at least have a tiny peek...inside
OK I will take a better look...

Looking to the left (your right)...

Looking to the right (your left) Then I settled myself down for a long summer's nap...ahhh life is good...autumn will come and the long winter will follow. For now we enjoy the warmth of the waning summer....I wish I could invite all of you to join me here for a little nap and then a spot of tea. Put the kettle on mommy...company is expected!

CAT ART SUNDAY

Hello dear friends...today's Cat Art Sunday features a wonderful artwork we found on Simon's mommies "Nina's Big Store" website!! You can click the picture above to go there. Simon would like that! What do you think of it? Isn't it just the image of me. Well....maybe in my better days when I still had all my teeth and more wavy furs? Oh yes and my eyes are actually green. Like Grizabella...I have seen better days in my youth. But I have never been happier to have the memories I have gathered along life's way! They include all of you, my precious friends.
My Lapdaddy gets to be in my post today because he made some art this week also. This name plaque for a friends special birthday.

(Plus if he sees himself on my bloggie...

he might get the hint that mommy would like to have

the mini me from Nina's Big Store:))

Hee Hee, we are no dumb kitties here at the cozy cottage!)

Hunny Bunny doesn't want to be bothered with the next art work....

HA HA...mommy thinks she is some kind of a watercolor artist. Don't laugh...Lapdaddy was impressed. mommy has always wanted to play with watercolors but never had a clue as to what to do. She was so inspired by Miss Lin's stunning sunset over the seashore that she just had to get her finger wet. As you can tell, she still doesn't have a clue but had great fun trying. She loves to color like a little kid...it shows. So just go for it if it makes you happy and create something fun!

So here I am sleeping on the throw rug out in the Auntie Room...sometimes I throw up on it. That is how it gets its name...I think. Have a happy Sunday!!

KITTY TOY REVIEW...

The Play and Squeak toys arrived and are a very big hit here at the cozy cottage. I think I like them even more than the cats do! Miss Peach being almost 18 is not the biggest player anymore. She seemed only mildly interested being a senior kitty. Our young former feral Hunny Bunny was quite keen on trying to figure out where the little mouse squeaks were coming from. Her ears were constantly radaring in the direction of the peeps. Her sharp claws were quick to catch the critter as I dangled it over her head or pulled it gentle across the carpet. Score Hunny Bunny 1-Mousie 0…enjoyment for mommy, Priceless!
We also took the Play and Squeak critter along with us when we visited our cousin kitty Harley. He is a kitten still and really enjoyed running wildly all over the place after the mousie. The little peeps were of prime interest to him and he wanted to make off with the feathers attached, more than the other kitties.
I highly recommend the Play and Squeak products. They exercise these senses a cat has…sight, sound, taste. After a wild romp with the Play and Squeak, kitty is ready for a well deserved nap.
We keep our Play and Squeak tucked next to the post in the kitchen where it dangles at the ready for any kitty paw that wants to go a few rounds with the peeps critter!
Thank you for giving us the opportunity to review such a great interactive kitty product at the cozy cottage! We think every kitty should have one or two!
Purrrs from Miss Peach

THINKING OF OUR SWEET FRIENDS...

Please help us purrrr for our precious friends Chey who will not eat anymore and is going to the Vet, and Sniffie who will be getting an operation today! We are thinking real hard about you both right now...

WATERS CAN BE RELAXING, FUN AND ETERNAL!!

He leads me beside still water...so I can drink of his goodness... A month in the life of a young boy and the waters he gets into.

This is the greatest relaxing bubble bath ever...even with a cast on!

A great way to end a week at Boys Camp where you don't have much time to shower...

or even care too! This is fun dunking in the mighty Columbia River!

That is Pasco's famous Blue Bridge in the background.

What an awesome splash!



This cleansing is for all eternity!! PRAISE GOD! HALLELUJAH!!!

WE LOVE OUR FRIENDS AND WISH WE COULD HOLD THEM WHEN THEY ARE SAD AND FULL OF WORRY...

We are sending mighty purrrrs up for our dear friend Shaggy who is not eating well for some days now... I once was so sick and not eating and the purrrrrs of the Cat Blogosphere helped me to recover... Please purrrr real hard for Shaggy and help Scooby and Scout get their mommy through this worrisome time...

Our dearest friend Ann of Zoolatry colors our blogs with wonderful graphics when we ask her. She and her family need our best thoughts and purrrs for their Poppy Vic to stay strong during his illness. Maggie and Zoey will be a big help in comforting their hearts...we can help by showing our love. Please, if you'd like too, take the collages I have made and show your support.
We have some wonderful news to tell you all on Wednesday about my grandkidbean Cole...it involves three different stories of water. Hope to see you then...now have a wonderful day and count your many blessings.

CAT ART SUNDAY ON WORLD CAT DAY!!!

Hello dearest furrrrends!

Today we celebrate world cat day!

We will take over the world one kitty at a time.

I captured mommies heart before she even saw me...sight unseen she adopted me. That is some cat power!!!

Hunny Bunny weaseled her way into the cozy cottage after two years.

Now Buddy is trying to join the fur team here...

that is really some cat power...don't you think?

WE CAN DO IT!!!

INVASION ON MY FRONT PORCH!!!

MOMMY COME QUICK!! I heard something out on the front porch and it was very scairty!! (Lapdaddy built our cozy front porch out of the head and foot board of a water bed...we love to recycle creatively)
Please turn off the light so we will be safe....

OH NO it can't be!! Look what is in MY flower pot!!

That rascal Buddy! Listen buster...YOU GET OUT of MY flower pot right now or else!!

See how good he listens...

Now go and sleep in the kitty condos Lapdaddy made for you and stay out of MY flower pot...

Get off the WELCOME mat...because you are not coming inside the cozy cottage!

A FLASH AND A STREAK!

Today I would like to introduce you to mommies new furless friends Streaker and Flash. They are the sweetest Sphynx boys and live in a beautiful home filled with love and all the comforts any kitty could ever wish for. Seeing them makes us miss our brother Dragonheart all over again...

MY BRUSH OFF!

Being a Devon Rex kitty means I do not have too much furs. So why do I need this brush mommy? Hey! It feels good to rub my cheeks on it! Hold still brush, you keep sliding away from me...
Thank you Lapdaddy for attaching my brush to the wall with the clip...now I can give myself the brush off anytime I want too!
Hunny Bunny is doing her prayer (click to bigafy and see what she is reading in the Bible)...or is she just waiting for mommy to turn her back so she can make off with the book mark tag with all of it's fibers? Please take a quiet moment to pray for our country. We keep forgetting that we are One Nation Under God. Ronald Reagen said if we ever forget that, then we are a country gone under.

These are a few of our most beautiful favorite gifts from beloved friends... The delicate lace gloves came from Auntie Deb. The stunning mosaic cross was handcrafted by designer Cindy Jarasunas and commisioned by ML and Auntie Deb to match the cottage plate they got from Jan's Funny Farmers. The most beautiful things we own are treasures sent from those who love us....they decorate our little cozy nest but delight our eyes and warm our hearts. We wish you all a wonderful first week of August...

CAT ART SUNDAY

Welcome to Cat Art Sunday dear friends....have you ever wondered what a house would dream of being, if it could dream? Today we will let the cozy cottage show you the rooms she dreams about. These are paintings by our favorite watercolor artist Kim Jacobs.

A splendid view of a secluded ocean bay would be our choice from the patio...

A garden filled with birdhouses and old chairs...

A patio swathed in lace and a birdcage near by...

A cobblestone pathway leading to the work needing to be done...

The cozy kitchen filled with wonderful baking smells...

(Lapdaddy dreams about that too!)The cozy front parlor will look alot like this when Lapdaddy finishes the other cabinet on the right of the fireplace.

It will be a charming Ingelnook much like this one

where we can sit and read or snooze on a chilly winter day...

we have a chair and a footstool just like in the painting.

Hmmm... I wonder if Kim has been peeking into the front window?

We will let you know when the room is ready and you can come over

for a tea party...
