Prize Winnings

I got lucky and won prizes from TWO blogs in one week! I decided to wait until I got both prizes before talking about them. The blogs are:

Its All About the Cats and
Memories of Eric and Flynn

First off from “Its All About the Cats” and Rene comes the new “Sliders Treat-hunt Puzzle Toy”. I have seen these popping up on several cat blogs I follow recently. There are three more “holey” boxes inside the big one to make getting the treats out more challenging. The cat enthralled by this is Zeke who is shown below. It is difficult to get Scooby to eat treats most of the time, and Opie doesn’t like playing games. Treats put in the puzzle at night seem to mysteriously disappear in the morning. I have no security cameras to see who is getting them.

Secondly, from Jackie of “Memories of Eric and Flynn” comes a surprise mystery package all the way from the UK with items I cannot get here. The catnip and food items were very popular. Scooby however just sniffed the food items, looked confused, and did not eat them at all. Opie and Zeke loved the food. The items are listed and shown below:

Greg and Scooby

It is a terribly rainy morning with rain belting down outside. Looks like Greg and Scooby will have to hang out inside by the fireplace all day. I wonder if I can get donuts delivered? Have a great week, we’ll be back soon!

Summer Memories in the Catio

Summer Memories in the Catio consists of unposted photos of the three residents of the Feline Cafe in the catio this summer. Rain and chill will soon be here and lounging outside in the catio will not always be the daily option as it was during the long lazy sunny summer days. Soon the spot in front of the fireplace will take precedence.

Pals 3

Pals 3 shows my two boys together–Scooby the ginger American shorthair tabby, and Zeke the Maine Coon. Scooby was brought home from the shelter so Zeke could have a playmate to rough-house with. They are both the same age. The plan worked well, and they like to spend time together doing the same things.

Deer Scooby

In Deer Scooby, Scooby is in the catio alerting me to the fact there are two deer sitting down outside. Scooby does not like deer at all. Once he has seen them he does not eat or sleep but only runs around the house from window to window looking for them in an excited state. It takes him and me 24 hours to get over it. If I see them before he does, I go out and run them off.
