Thankful Thursday!

Kitties!

We got some awards last week from some new friends...we are so thankful for all our blogger pals.

First up, we received the Beautiful Blogger award from Rainbow at Purrs, Meows, etc.!  Rainbow is an all white kitty whose name reflects the fact that white reflects all the colors of the rainbow!  We think that is so cool.

Thank you Rainbow!

We think you are an exceptionally gorgeous kitty, and welcome to the Cat Blogosphere!

Then, we got the Thinking of You award from Texas, a Cat in New York!

Texas, we just bet you'll be thinking of us when you get that nip we mailed you, heh heh...that is when the pink spotted mousies finally go away!

Thank you for the award.

We are total rule-breakers when it comes to awards, so if you would like to grab it for yourselves, feel free!  In our opinion ya'll are Beautiful and we DO think about you, even if our Mommy is a lazy wench has to work and we can't comment as much as we want to.  Stupid lack of thumbs.

In other news, we had RECORD BREAKING rain here today!

You may have read Mommy's whining post on Sunday, that it's been terribly hot and humid here.  Kitties, she was not exaggerating, not one tiny bit.  Scouty thought maybe he was being stewed sans the pot, it's been so sticky.  It couldn't last forever, and today the clouds decided to let loose--we had 1.22" of rain in our back yard!  Mommy had to go for a hair cut at noon and where her hairdresser is had some of the heaviest accumulation; over 2.50" in under an hour.  It's the heaviest rain she's seen in eleven years, she said it was almost too scary to drive.  On the way home the intensity let up and there were soccer-ball sized rocks in the road that had been carried by the water out of the desert.

Here's some photos of the rain by our house:

The guys pouring concrete in the neo-park were caught off guard by the downpour (they must not watch the weather-guessers), they had to run around in the muck building berms to shunt the water into the street.

The rain water in the gutter rose to halfway up the apron of the driveway.

A quick shot (Mommy must be a witch--she was afraid the water would melt her) looking up the street.

This is a major intersection by our house, after the flooding.  Mommy snapped this while she was driving...or so she claims.  We think she's just skewed.

So that's the news for today...tomorrow, Mommy EATS CROW! 

 Don't miss it...

Happy Thursday!

Some Saturday Awards!

Kitties!

We got some MORE awards!

Hurrah!

We got the "Happy Cat" award from both Sherkhan and Spitty-the-Kitty!

Thanks, GentleMenCats, we really like this colorful award...and here on the Catio we try to have some fun every day.

Sherkhan's Mommy creates a new Award on the 21st of each month, just because! How cool is that!?!

We would like to pass this award on to six other Kitties:

Nicky, Derry & Annie from Fuzzy Tales. We admire Annie's Crabilation, Nicky's Escapism, and Derry's Laid Back Cattitude.

Fin from Housecat Confidential. Fin is a fellow Las Vegan and she also WROTE A BOOK! What a GrannyCat! You go, girl!

Daisy & Harley. Need we say more?

Next, The Creek Cats Gave us the "Life is Good" Award!

Thank You, Creek Cats! Keep up the great work with Gretchen and the TNR. You are a blessing to felinekind.

Kitties, Life IS Good, even when it's not. At least we aren't on the street, foraging for a meal to feed endless litters of kittens.

Mommy answered the questions earlier, you can see what she answered here.

The Family visit continues, and Salem has decided she LIKES Danielle, the Sticky Little Person of Tail-Tugging fame...details (no pun intended) later!

Have a Great Weekend, Kitties!

Headbump your Human, they really like it. And then you might get extra Treats.

Tuesday Award: Life is Good!

Kitties!

Our MOMMY got an award! Can you believe it?

And get this! TWO blogs gave her the award! We are pawmazed. People really DO like you, Mommy. They are:

Sammy & Andy, and Brian.

Mommy says: "Thank you all Very Much!"

Life IS Good.

Mommy was asked to answer the following questions:

1. What would your perfect day consist of?

Instantly teleport to Wiamanolo Beach in Hawaii with Hubby. Lay on the beach, play in the water, drink tropical adult beverages and eat a huge Korean BBQ Plate Lunch. Then instantly teleport back home to my kitties right after the sun goes down.

2. How would you describe yourself if you were an item of clothing?

Funky!

3. What hobbies are you currently working on?

The Cat's Blog!

4. Walking in the woods in wellies or bare foot on the beach?

Bare foot on the beach!

5. Have you ever hugged or sang to a tree?

Maybe once when I was a bit overcome with adult beverages...for balance!

6. Growing your own veggies or nipping to the supermarket?

I prefer homegrown but it's tough to veggie garden in Las Vegas. So it's the store, for me. Thank goodness for Fresh-n-Easy, their produce is fantastic and organic.

7. Have you found anyone exciting in your family tree?

Just me. heh heh

8. Slap up meal in a posh restaurant or fish ‘n’ chips from the wrapper?

Fish-n-chips, please. With malt vinegar and salt!

9. Which element do you most resonate with, Earth, Air, Fire or Water?

I'm an Aquarian, so I'll say water.

10. Do you believe in fairies?

No. I do believe in Karma.

Now, she has to choose 5 blogger Moms (or Dads) to pass this along to.
