What a great sleep I had Kali. My word, I slept so hard…it must’ve been all the fun at Cat Scouts yesterday. I wrapped myself in the Canadian Flag. MOL
It’s my Gotcha Day, mom. Did you make a special meal for me. Sure did Shoko.
*Shoko opens the blinds on the sliding glass door* Surprise Shoko….we remembered it was your Gotcha Day. AWWW…you dudettes!! I sure love you two.
Is that Dezi and Lezi?
Woohoo..let’s get out of here and join the fun!
Speedy and Einstein mewing about the warmest types of blankies.
Binky, Tim and Shoko meowing about the possibility of Feline Acne with plastic bowls.
Mom brought out some more nibbles for us and our peeps.
kitchen-sink-brownies
Lemon-Champagne-Cocktail
catnip straight from the garden.
Mmm…it doesn’t get any fresher than this my friends.
Nipitini
spiked lemonade
Don’t worry! The lemonade is spiked with 7 up and a few cherries.
Bacon and found carrots. They should be on that table.
Hey Bacon, you can have all the carrots if you want…we got them for you my little snorter.
Shoko reached the level of Sabertooth Tiger in Cat Scouts Saturday. This is the highest level a kitty can reach in Cat Scouts….we are so proud.
SABERTOOTH FLAG
Gotcha Cake
Remember last year mom…..you didn’t know how to make a Gotcha Cake then….MOL… Move on Shoko….let’s not tell everybody that I am still learning and sometimes get terrifyingly mixed up…shhh. Alright mom! Geesh.
Sammy BBQ fish, hot dogs and hamburger patties for us.
Easy barked out his food order to Sammy but he barked in French and nobody understood him! So Sammy gave him one of everything and Easy sat down and ate all of it.
Sorry no chicken here today Cupcake. Try a Fish Witch, they’re delicious! I invented them…I’m going to tell Raz so he can cook them at his Friday Fish Fry on Cat Scouts.
Dharth
Hi there my little cuz…great to see you Dharth. Your friends are more than welcome too. Dig in…either in the garden or for some great food. MOL
Nellie and Shoko discussing how strange and unexplainable things happen whenever they are around.
Kali and Bud Bud
Here are some beautiful cards that I received for my Gotcha Day
From Nellie The original Cat From Hell
From Dezi of Dezi World
from Sammy K. of One Spoiled Cat
from Easy of Easy Blog
From Bacon of Piglove
Shoko’ss Gotcha Day from Siddhartha Henry of Purrince Siddhartha’s Purrfect Pad
Here are the treats for your peep from mom. These are strictly fresh from the garden.
Fresh Dried herbs
Varieties of herbed vinegar
For the kitties here are some treats to take home.
Fresh dried nip
fishies
Hope you all had a fantastic time…I sure did my friends. I owe this to my sis Kali…I really thought she forgot me….boy was I wrong.
The Canadian Cats 
oh that niptini looks great… I love green things… is there absinth inside too? just asking before we remove our ears LOL … oh wow you got a card with real butterflies… lets have a funny butterfly-hunt :o) Happy Happy Gotcha Day dear Shoks!…can I get one of that stinkie thingies please?

Yes, some of the nipitinis have absinth in them. Um..ah..woops…not sure which ones. You’ll just have to take a sip out of each one Easy….but don’t tell anyone. So don’t leave any lumps in the ones you don’t want. OK, big guy.
