wordless wednesday.....

It appears that our connection to You tube isn't working. But....mom took video of Triscuit walking on her leash in the hall at Blog Paws. You can see it here

We got a comment Monday about Triscuit becoming a therapy cat. We got lots of comments about that at Blog Paws too. Certainly something to recommend to her new family. As for no one taking her home, mom said one lady offered but turned a couple shades of pale when mom said Triscuit was already spayed and her paperwork was in the car. MOL

Anyhow, more pictures from Blog Paws.

Mom got the collar from the very nice ferret people

Space kitten update

Like so many others around the country and the world - we are sending purrs and positive thoughts to those in Oklahoma....we hope families are reunited quickly and safely and can start to rebuild their lives.
~~~~~~~~~

Never fails - mom leaves for a few days and comes home to squeeee all over the tiny kitts about how much they have grown.  They are certainly getting around more in the bathroom - in fact mom walked in there on Sunday and missed someone exiting - fortunately the baby didn't get very far. MOL

There has been some changes....mom put out the litter box with the non-clumping litter so they can start trying that. And there was some screaming so mom tried putting some canned food on the tray. Mom put the kittens by it but only had a couple takers - Rocket and Corona. Actually, not too bad for a first try.  :)

Blog Paws wrap up....

First announcement - mom got us a page on facebook - come visit and like the Random Felines page. We think you can just search for it. We would love to give you the link and maybe put it on the side bar, but despite Miss Connie giving mom a link to the plugins for facebook, she can't figure it out. Go figure......

Update: THANKS to Miss Connie (who did it for us), we now have a "follow" button on the left hand side of the blog for our facebook page.

OK - take it away mom to tell everyone about your trip:

I had a good time. I met SO many wonderful people that I don't dare make a list for fear of leaving someone off.  :)  It was great to meet so many animal people and put faces to names to blogs. Everyone was friendly and welcoming. Of course, I took Triscuit, so having the cuteness didn't hurt. I am pretty sure between Triscuit and Odilia, if there had been a cute award, we would have had to share it.

I will say this up front - I was disappointed with the amount of cat information and products. OK - there was the Cat Lounge, but the companies that sent products didn't send representatives. The swag bag had barely any cat stuff in it - and they asked if I wanted cat or dog when I checked in so they obviously thought they had enough to make a difference. Sparkle's mom posted on facebook that she took the bag back - I don't blame her.  The sessions were ok...some WAY better than others. My thought would be to pick the good ones and expand the time so we could LEARN something rather than just get an overview. There were lots of sessions about tech info and monetizing your blog and getting more readers. I am sure that is all great, but I do this because I love it. I don't want it to become a job....that sounds too much like work. :)  I had a good time, but unless there were some serious changes, I don't know if I would go again. It would be an expensive way to see people I like. Of course, the award party was GREAT fun!!

 Odilia from Tails of the Foster Kittens

She and Triscuit weren't too sure about each other. Odilia is a single kitten and doesn't yet speak "cat" fluently. So Triscuit would walk up to her and wait for a signal to play which she wouldn't get as Odilia wasn't sure what to do. But they never fought and finally on Sunday morning as we were getting ready to leave, they were chasing each other around the hotel room. Figures...

 Tamar from I Have Cat and Triscuit

Notice a theme???  That kitten was SO popular. And honestly, I figured she would behave but I never could have figured she would be as good as she was. I took her to sessions and she would sleep in my arms. I would have her out for 2-3 hours at a time before giving her a break in the room. She posed for pictures and was kissed and was passed around and was GREAT!!  Barking dogs, applause and catbells during the award show..... she didn't mind a bit. Her new family is going to get a great addition to their family.

I have lots of other pictures that I will try to get up later....

Having a good time...

The mom here. Triscuit and I are having a good time at blog paws. I do have to say it is a bit dog-centric.  The swag bag was supposed to be "cat" but still had a lot of dog stuff.

Triscuit has been wonderful and a big hit. I think almost everyone that has seen her has taken her picture. She has gone to the sessions with me and slept in my arms. We are rooming with Connie and Odillia from Tails of the Foster Kittens. They have met but triscuit isn't sure what to think about her.

We've met so many great people and I love meeting those from the blogs we follow.  Well...time to leash up Triscuit and head back out!

Wordless Wednesday.....

(how exactly can that be comfortable???)

Couple of quick things:
Posting may be sporadic the next few days....but lots of pics next week.

Please purr for our Frito boy. He hadn't been feeling well at the store so mom took him to the rescue's adoption center yesterday to see the v-e-t. He was running a fever and is now up there on meds. We know he is in good hands, but just one more thing for mom to worry about. Of course, he was feeling ok enough that when they tried to give him some fluids under the skin, he bit the v-e-t. MOL

Both Cookie and Samoa have applications. Cookie will go home next week since mom can't get coordinated with her new family before leaving. Though mom is trying to reach our friend Miss Beckie to coordinate things so Cookie can go home before that.

And....Samoa went home last night. Nice family, 3 year old toy poodle (won't that be fun...snort), and twin 11 year old girls. Poor Samoa isn't gonna know what hit him. This is there first cat but mom told them that after the dog and kids, the kitten will be easy.
