Hope that the minor swat-fest ended amicably !
Great photos and title – wonder who won the smack-down?
Janet – congratulations! You are this week’s Friend Of The Week at Friendship Friday at Create With Joy (Week #164) – AND the first recipient of our Inspiring Blog Award, which we’ll be sharing with bloggers in a variety of categories in the weeks to come!
Be sure to stop by and pick up your award – and try to keep the cats from pawing, clawing (or worse!)
Have an awesome week – and a belated happy birthday to you and your cats!
Astrid is small but powerful! Heehee. Poor Mau :p

Smacky paws, smacky paws… You showed him, Astrid ! Purrs
I love smacky paws as long as no one gets hurt.
*MOL* play nicely you two !
Have a wonderful Wednesday 🙂
XOXO
A little birdie told us there are some birthdays today…Happy Birthday, Giulietta and Fiona!! We hope it is full of love, nip, and treats!
OMC…Mom did it again. At least you told her so that she can correct the situation before the end of the day! We think it is time to put her out to pasture ’cause her brain is obviously fried. XOCK, Lily Olivia, Mauricio, Misty May, Giulietta, Fiona, Astrid, Lisbeth and Calista Jo
Happy Birthday Giulietta and Fiona!!!
Love the smacky paw.
This is a very interesting series. Siblings!
What is the purple plastic collar that Astrid wears? She is a cutie. Poor Mauricio. ~xo~
The purple plastic collars are calming collars. The kitties who are a bit “high-strung” wear them. Sort of like wearing Feliway. I do think they help with stress.
HAHAHAHA……..classic smacky paws indeed with the winner in this corner – ASTRID!
Hugs, Sammy
I laughed my head off at this guys 🙂 that ‘one to go on with’ that Atsrid dished out is hilarious…ah the smacky paw battles..could be an olympic sport in the cat blogoshere 🙂 loves Fozziemum xxx
SMACKDOWN! We love a good round of smacky paws!
LOL play nicely. Have a wonderful Wednesday.
Best wishes Molly
Mauricio you need to whap Astrid back or she will be smug and gloat.
Luv Hannah and Lucy xx xx
And… the tortie wins! Paws up, Astrid!
Da tortie wins again!
