SUPER MEOWDEL RETURNS

Sunday Selfies: Week #622

I hope y’all are happy to see me today. Those kittens have been hogging the blog and not giving the rest of us the opportunity to show off.

Yesterday, however, Mom helped Cooper Murphy and me take several selfies. This one of me was the best of all of them, so I procured the honor of being your host today. And, it was about time! I last appeared on the blog on June 28. And, the last time I had a selfie was May 16 (week #613 of the hop). Now, I ask you: Is that any way to treat the resident Super Meowdel? You bet your @$$ it is not!

Look at this selfie. I am purrfection. If you agree, tell my mom in the comments and demand to see me more often.

Please Hop With Me

All right, enough of this caterwauling from me. I showed you my selfie, now it is time for you to show me, the other Kitties Blue and all your friends your selfie.

You know I will be hanging out here through Thursday if you don’t post on Sundays or are busy doing other fun things today. And whether you hop or not, I thank you for visiting today and wish you an easy and cuddlesome Sunday.

Purrs & paw-pats, Kizmet

p.s. We super meowdels need our rest to look our best, so I will be joining the hop in the morning, but don’t wait for me to link up.

p.p.s. Don’t forget to tell my mom you have missed me and want to see more of me in the future.

GIBB’S CAT LADY DAY SELFIE

Sunday Selfies: Week #609

Hi guys and gals,

I am writing this post as it is Cat Lady Day, and our mom deserves a break.

Black and white cat in a bathroom sink giving a raspberry (blep) in a selfie for Cat Lady Day.

This raspberry (blep) is not because I am upset about having to take a selfie. Both Tali and I are okay with photos, as you might have realized. Mom does seem to post a lot of them here. It’s not only because we don’t mind having our photos taken but also due to the fact that we rarely leave her or Dad alone.

This photo of me in the sink is a prime example. Whenever Mom tries to brush her teeth or wash her hands, I am right there. She says that it’s a good thing the bathroom has two sinks. On Friday, I followed her into the shower and sat on the bench until she started throwing water around. It’s not that I don’t like water. Tali and I are both “into” water. Mom thinks our attraction to water is due to the three baths we had the first two weeks we were here.

My favorite thing to do with Mom and Dad is to sneak up behind either one of them and leap from the floor to their shoulders. Sometimes, I need to use my claws to hold on, which they don’t like very much. Mom says that she should have named me, Ninja. She could probably change it if she wanted. She thinks I do not know what my name is, as I never respond when she says it. If she calls Tali, the little suck-up goes running to her while meowing.

I have lots more to tell you about myself, but as it is Cat Lady Day and not Gibbs Day, I will shut my yap for now!

Here’s a cool graphic from the Cat Blogosphere.

Mom’s going to tell you about the hopping stuff.

Purrs & paw-pats, Gibbs

Hopping Time

I definitely appreciate the fact that Gibbs took on writing this post for me. He is quite a handful. A couple of days ago, Dad Tom told him that if Cat Scouts still existed and he had joined like his brofurs, Mau and Cooper Murphy, he would have been kicked out for being a hooligan. So true!

Anyhoo, if you have snapped a selfie, it is time for you to show everyone how absolutely adorable you are. All the Kitties Blue, not just Gibbs, as well as your other friends will be looking for you right here today or anytime through Thursday. So, please do plan to join us. It’s always more fun when we get lots of participants.

Thanks for joining us whenever you get here. And have a meowvolous and easy Sunday.

LOOK INTO MY EYES

Sunday Selfies: Week #603

White and black cat with large green eyes asks you to "Look into my eyes."

Welcome to Sunday Selfies, my friends. I am dictating the post today for my mom to type for me. I took my selfie on Thursday while Mom and I were at the vet. She told you in our Thankful Thursday post that the wound on my face was healing nicely after my visit to Dr. McBane on Monday. Unfortunately, on Thursday morning I woke up with an even larger wound below the original one. And it was swollen badly.

I managed to miss the tips of my ears in the selfie, for which I apologize. I do not, however, apologize for not including the left side of my face in the photo. Mom said it looked ghastly, and she didn’t want me to make anyone ill. So I have concentrated on my eyes and my whiskers.

After the photo, I got carted to the back of the clinic and sedated, where Dr. McBane lanced, drained and flushed my wound which was badly infected. Dr. McBane also cultured the wound, and the results will be back sometime this coming week. As I’d already had an antibiotic injection, I was sent home with pain medication and am continuing to take the prednisolone.

Neither Mom, Dr. McBane nor I know how any of this happened, but I have my paws crossed that nothing shows up on the culture and my face heals quickly. Of course, Mom, Dad and Dr. McBane are hoping for the same. I wouldn’t mind a bit of POTP, prayers and purrs in the mean time.

Thanks for listening to my tale of woe. Mom promises to keep you posted when we know more. And now, I will turn this post over to her.

Purrs and paw-pats, Lisbeth

Please Hop With Us

I hope you didn’t mind hearing about Lisbeth’s medical issues, but she could use a little POTP. And, I know she would really be happy to have you join her on the hop by linking up your selfie. Your sweet faces always make me, all the Kitties Blue and all your other friends smile.

Whether you decide to hope or not, we appreciate that you stopped by today. Now, go have an easy Sunday, dear friends.

A GINGERY GOOD SELFIE

Sunday Selfies: Week #602

When I agreed to take today’s selfie and be the host for our blog hop, Mom said I could write the post as well. But first, I need to share my pawsome selfie.

A gingery tabby cat in a really good selfie.

I think I did a great job with my selfie. Unfortunately, however, I didn’t get my paw back down quickly enough after clicking the photo button on Mom’s cell phone.

My Report on Our Current Family Situation

I cannot say that I am happy about the present circumstances at our house. I was used to Astrid and Sawyer, but these new inhabitants are a pain in my backside. They try to attack my tail. Tali has jumped on my back, and they have infiltrated the humans’ bed. The very worst thing is that they demand way too much of Mom and Dad’s time and attention. Pffft!

There has also been some unrest since the terrorists arrived upstairs. It is mostly between Calista Jo, Lisbeth and Kizmet. The first two never have been friends, but the two interlopers have put them on edge more than usual. Calista Jo has a wound on her chin and Lisbeth has one on her head. She also had one on her ear, but it has healed. Mom is keeping a close eye on the wounds to make certain they heal properly.

Thankfully, I do still get to spend quality time in Dad’s lap and in the cubby at the top of the bedroom cat tree when Tali is not in it.

So that is the state of affairs around here, and I hope it improves very soon!

I am now turning this over to Mom.

Purrs and paw-pats, Cooper Murphy

Time to Hop Along

It seems as if Cooper is not a happy camper with regard to the newbies. I know many of you are familiar with this jockeying for position when the household inhabitants change. It will take some additional time, but I know everyone will settle into their rightful places soon enough.

In the meantime, Cooper and I really hope you will snap a selfie and join us on the blog hop. We always enjoy seeing your cute faces as do all your other friends. You can hop on any time through Thursday.

Thanks for stopping by to visit. Looking forward to seeing you on the hop.

LISBETH’S CAT TREE ART

Caturday Art

As many of you know, I avoided the addition to our house for nearly five years. Not so long ago, I discovered that I could get kibble in the laundry room (saving myself a trip upstairs). I also discovered that I can spend time with Mom in the bedroom when all the other Kitties Blue are busy on the catio or in other parts of the house.

So, a couple of days ago, I discovered that the bedroom has two cat trees. The top of the dining room cat tree is my domain, so finding other trees was a bonus! I investigated one and actually tried the other. That is where I was when Mom snapped some photos. And then she used one to make some art.

She usually tries some different effects prior to deciding which she will use for the week’s art. Sometimes she actually cannot decide which of the creations she likes best. That’s what happened this week. Consequently, I am sharing two versions of me. Of course, the more of me, the better. Right?

A tuxie cat in a cat tree with an art effect and a black, red and white block frame.

This first version was created using the Nautical-Tran effect from Painnt and bumped the saturation. The frame is from the favpng app.

For the second version, she used the Homagik effect from Painnt and added lomo coloring. This creation also has a frame from the favpng app. I particularly like my blue eyes in this one.

She also created a jigsaw puzzle of each version for those of you who enjoy putting them together.

If you have a favorite among today’s art selections, please let Mom and me know in the comments.

I will be participating in the Caturday Art blog hop hosted by Athena Cat Goddess Wise Kitty. To join me there, click on Athena’s badge.

I will let Mom remind you about the selfie thing we do on Sundays.

Sunday Selfies Reminder

Another week has slipped past, and it is now officially summer. So, tomorrow will be the first Sunday Selfies hop of summer 2025. Per usual, I have no idea which of the Kitties Blue will be sharing a selfie. We hope that will be a reason for you to drop by to check out which of our furballs is here as your host. And, of course, we would really like you to share your selfie with us and all your other friends.

Thanks so much for joining us today. We hope to see you again tomorrow.

ASTRID’S “WHERE’S MINE?” FACE

Sunday Selfies: Week #564

Tortie cat with an expectant expression on her face, as if she is saying “where’s mine?”.

So, what do you think? Do you like my one white whisker? Can you tell this is my “I know you are eating something nommy good, so where’s mine?” face? I sit on the floor between Mom and Dad’s chairs and wait for them to share their meals with me. I never beg! I never make even the tiniest meow. I just sit with an expectant expression and stare in anticipation. As long as they are not eating something that would hurt a kitty, I always get a few delicious morsels. It pays to be a good cat. My sisfur, Lisbeth, could learn a lesson or two from me and stay off the island while they are eating.

I thought this selfie was so good, I asked Mom not to frame it. I did not want anything to distract from ME! Don’t you think this shows off my tortie furs wonderfully?

I hope you will share your selfie with me, my sisfurs and brofurs as well as all your other friends. Mom will give you all the details.

Purrs and paw-pats, Astrid

Time to Hop-Along

I hope you all enjoyed seeing Astrid here today, and like her I hope you will join us on our weekly selfie hop. We always keep the hop available through Thursday for those of you who don’t post on Sundays or have other plans for today. And we welcome all anipals, regardless of species, to join in the fun.

MAY THE 4TH BE WITH YOU SELFIE

Sunday Selfies: Week #559

Grey Manx tabby cat shares a May the 4th be with you selfie in an aqua and green flowered frame.

Hi Friends,

I know I don’t look like Luke Skywalker, Darth Vader or even a stormtrooper, but I hope it is okay for me to say, “May the 4th (Force) be with you.” I may not be any of those iconic characters, but I am a pretty tough cookie despite this flowery frame Mom added to my selfie.

On Saturday morning at breakfast time, I ate all my noms, which always makes Mom and Dad suspicious. I only do that after a seizure. Shortly after breakfast, they saw me in Dad’s chair, and I looked really dopey. (Mom’s words, not mine!) I remained pretty lethargic most of the day and continued to eat all or most of my noms at meal times. Then Mom saw some poo on my butt, and she knew for certain I’d had a seizure sometime during the night.

For some unknown reason, I have recently been sleeping upstairs at night, so Mom and Dad didn’t hear anything. Mom went upstairs to inspect and found the remnants in Dad’s and her old bedroom.

So, anyhoo, the reason I do not look groggy in my selfie is because I did not take it until 10 p.m. I actually think I did a pretty good job. I sure hope you like hit. And, I especially hope that my sweet Noelle loves it.

I am going to let Mom tell you about that hopping stuff.

Purrs and paw-pats, Sawyer (with love and whisker kisses to Noelle)

Hopping Time

Yep, now it is your turn to snap a selfie and link up with our hop. The hop is always more fun when lots of friends participate. So, if you know any other anipals, regardless of species, you think might like to join in the fun, please invite them. The hop will remain open through Thursday for any of you who do not post on Sundays or have other things to do today. Sawyer and all the Kitties Blue, however, really do look forward to seeing you whenever you get here.

Thanks for stopping in to see us today. Wishing you an easy Sunday.

NAUGHTY CAT RETURNS!

Sunday Selfies: Week #535

A blurry photo of a naughty buff and white cat staring at the camera.

Let’s start out by being totally honest, shall we! I never really left home, as I was on our property the entire time. I am NOT as dumb as everyone thinks…just obstinate. The lady (okay, I’ll call her Mom) saw me sitting in the backyard Thursday night at 11 p.m. She called me. I fled. She went to bed.

Though, still sick (what a wimp); she started seriously searching for me on Friday. I allowed her to see my @$$ three times as I took off to hide. Hey, give me a break! I let her put her eyes on me, so she would know I was still hanging around. Nice! Right?

Anyhoo, Friday night at dinner time, Mom (yeah, that just doesn’t feel right) looked out the window from where she can see the catio and saw my tail, which I always carry high and proud. She hurried to the kitchen where Dad had been fixing our evening repast, but I beat her. I was looking in the back door, as two sets of eyes looked back at me. Mom backed away, Dad opened the door and I dashed in. They both followed me around for awhile with my food bowl, but I did not give the satisfaction of seeing me eat from it. No way!

So anyhoo, I am back! I slept on the bed last night at Dad’s feet, as I usually do. And, I was even allowed to spend the day on the catio, as it was sunny and somewhat warm.

So, that’s the tale of my latest misadventure. Some of you have suggested I wear a tracker. Are you crazy? I won’t even keep a collar with my I.D. on it around my neck for more than two to three days.

Dad, said something about a harness with a tracker. But, they’ll have to catch me first. Ain’t ever gonna happen!

Finally, in my defense. I was not the instigator of this escape nor the last one. The first was Kizmet’s idea and the second Cooper Murphy’s. So there! If you missed either of the previous posts, here are the links: “Caught in the Act” and “National Tabby Cat Day Sunday Selfies.”

Oh, yeah, and my selfie was not taken recently. No way am I sitting still for that foolishness. But, it is a rather crappy photo that the lady took (of course) and has not been shared previously!

Time to Hop-A-Long

So, I guess I better get on with the reason I am here. I have been tasked with encouraging all of you to snap a selfie and join our blog hop. You can do that anytime through Thursday at 11:59 p.m. ET.

The lady says, “Thanks for joining us today, and thanks for all who sent prayers and POTP that Raleigh would return home.”

Be yourself and do exactly what you want, Raleigh

p.s. Surprise…the lady is posting early, as she is still sick and wants to get some rest. Makes no difference to me!

NURSE ASTRID’S SELFIE

Sunday Selfies: Week #530

So, I spent a good portion of Saturday in Mom’s lap in an attempt to nurse her back to health. She had an absolutely horrible day on Friday swinging back and forth between crying and cursing. I am happy to report that my practiced massage techniques and rumbling purrs helped quite a bit. One would think those things would be enough to brighten Mom’s mood. But that was not the case. She thought I should also take a selfie for today’s hop.

That seemed to me to be asking an awful lot, but I decided to acquiesce. It only took me 19 attempts to get a selfie I liked. I sure hope all of you like it as well.

Nurse Astrid: A tortoise shell cat selfie in a black frame with pumpkins.

As I am in charge of this post, it is going to be a short one. Mom is completely exhausted; and though I am writing this post, she is typing it for me.

We will be going live at our normal time of midnight, but I won’t be joining until Mom gets up on Sunday morning. Please do not have too much fun without me.

Time to Hop

I really hope you will join me on the hop today. But, if you cannot get by today, I will be here through Thursday.

Thanks for joining us today. I have no idea if we will be here Monday, but you can count on seeing Periwinkle and Stinky right here on Tuesday.

Purrs & paw-pats, Astrid

CALISTA JO’S STINKY-EYED SELFIE

Sunday Selfies: Week #522

Dear friends,

So, I know you expected to see me today, as Mom told you yesterday I would be your host. She also said I had an ulterior motive in requesting this unenviable duty. And she was correct. In my opinion, the only thing worse than having to take and post a selfie is being subjected to this embarrassment I am suffering. And there is no one to blame but my humans, as my dad had a small part in my torture.

Selfie of a dilute tortoise shell cat wearing a collar made from tube socks and giving the stink eye.

Can you believe this is what my day-to-day existence has become? I have been informed that unless I quit licking my belly, this is my fate for the foreseeable future. The eosinophilic granuloma on my belly has improved, but I wouldn’t stop licking it. Dr. McBane said if I did not leave it alone, I would have to get one of those stupid, plastic cones.

Well, I have to give my mom some props for making me this collar from some of my dad’s tube socks. It is very soft. I can eat and sleep in it, jump up any place I like and even fit through the cat door. And, I definitely cannot lick my belly. So let me set the record straight: I do not want to wear this, but it isn’t really the worst thing ever. And I did frighten Lisbeth. MOL! She was in her usual place at the top of the cat tree. I was in the foyer and she saw me. Mom said her eyes looked as if she’d spied an alien. She was too scared to look away, and she wouldn’t eat her dinner. That was fun!

So, that’s my tale of woe. And now that I’ve told it, it’s time for me to go. Mom will fill you in on that hopping stuff!

Purrs & paw-pats, Calista Jo

Hopping Time

I would apologize for C.J. going on a rant about her latest fashion accessory, but sometimes a cat just has to vent. At least I got a selfie out of her.

Now, it is your turn to share your selfie with us. I am certain none of you will be showing up sporting a stink-eyed stare. But we always look forward to seeing each of you, no mater what’s up. We do understand if you cannot get by today. The hop will be open through Thursday.

Thanks for dropping in to see us. Have an easy Sunday, dear friends.
