Artsy Caturday
It’s time for our art work already Kali. This has been a short week. We are tied with the record snowfall of 1944. Wow! That’s a long time ago. I think that’s older than mom and dad.
You see the stick coming out of the snow between two humps of snow? This stick designates where the fire hydrant is located. With the stick coming out, the snow removal guys know not to dump a heap of snow on top of it.
Athena Cat Goddess Wise Kitty is having her blog hop of artsy animals and we’re going to join. Just click on the blog name and hop over to see the wonderful art of some gifted peeps and their ever-helpful anipals. 
I’m attempting to get my head warmed in the sun but the sun keeps moving.
This is me with the Fairy Art on Lunapic. I like it! Mom didn’t make me look dorky for a change.
Have a warm and happy weekend friends.
Thankful Thursday with Kali
What a glorious day. It’s above freezing and the sun is trying to shine. 
Today I join Brian’s Thankful Thursday Blog Hop. Click on the blog hop name and visit my other thankful friends.
I am so thankful dad braved the elements…..it was warm, MOL and brought home a train for under our tree. I just love it but Shoko won’t be seen near it. 
Have a great Thursday.
Gotta say this….Hi, Kit from Brian’s Home…keep your crotchety side just a glowing my friend.
Artsy Fiddly Farty Caturday
Woop, I get to pose for Athena Cat Goddess Wise Kitty’s rows of freaked out models trying to look good in some artsy backgrounds their significant other thought up. We try but what can one do with some of these weird peeps. MOL….regardless we love them. 
A relaxed picture of moi telling mom how to apply the Lunapic art effect. 
Mom decided to do the Candy Art Effect and it’s not bad. I’ve worn way worse, believe you, me.
May your Caturday be full of sun. 
A Well Dug Hole Here and a Little Tinkle There
Planting day. Mom have you got the necessities? Let’s see the list…..hand shovel, trowel, bone meal and manure. Check. We’re ready. Oh my, the seeds! We need peas, Scarlet Runner pole beans, Blue Lagoon pole beans, beets, yellow beans. carrots and potatoes. Check!
We’ll use these poles for playing *limbo* or *how low can you go* after we’re finished with the garden.
Dad did a great job with the rototiller. I wish Nellie was here…she knows her stuff.
Beautiful, we need to make rows, mom.
We need to start here…who’s that? It looks like Nellie from Nellie On The Edge Nellie? Nellie….is that you? 
“Hi Shoko! Mes comed to helps yous with planting the garden from over the bridge! Yous know the best thing about going there? Mes can bes the real mes! Mes can now looks like the Cat From Hell!! Mes always wanted to has horns and a devils tail and when mes gotted there…mes had them! Is they not the coolest!?!?” Wow…maybe I’ll get a tail and horns when I join you, Nellie. Kali, come see who has come to help plant the veggie garden.

It’s not that dizzy broad from next door I hope. She’s a nip head. Well, I’ll be a pig’s knuckle, it’s Nellie! So good to see my bestest friend…you have the real thing now….a tail and horns and they’re red! MOL
Kali, yous looks fashionable in your sunflower hat. Guarding against too much sun Nellie. Apparently I can get quite ditzy with too much of a good thing. MOL
Hey, Shoks mes want to fertilize the seeds your moms planted. I can’t pee on command like you Nellie….I’m still earthly. Give me a few minutes.
Kali, you wanna snuggle while I’s waitin’ for Shoks to lubricate her plumbing. I always want to snuggle with you Nellie. Let’s get comfortable in the house.
Nellie! Your horns and tail disappeared…what happened? 
When I feels especially warm and happy they disappear. So I can be whats I feel like being…a devil or angel. Cool Nellie…what a trick. You’re still a little squirt though. Ya but I’s pack quite a lot of fun into mes little self. MOL
Nellie we got the sprinkler working. Mom has planted most veggies. Time to do our thing.
That was funsies…I’m dry as parchment paper…How bout you? I could do another 10 gardens….I’m full of it…that sounds not so good. MOL 
Here Shoks try some of mes special elixir. You’ll feel great in seconds. 
This works like so quick and it’s yummy. I’m not tired anymore. Thanks Nellie.
Looks like our work is done, Nellie. 
I’s changing back to mes devilish self and headed to mes new home. If, you need mes just call and I ‘ll come.

1. A book I would like to see made into a movie is ...THE WARRIOR SAGA . THERE ARE FOUR PEEPS THAT WRITE THE BOOKS AND USE THE PSEUDONYM ERIN GREY. THE STORIES ARE ABUNDANT AND JERK ON YOUR EMOTIONS AS ONE DOES GET ATTACHED TO THE CHARACTERS. 
TAKE A PEEK AT THE WARRIOR BOOKS AT http://www.warriorcats.com/books.
2. If I could afford a billboard, it would say: 
Then we’d watch peeps feel guilty for not hugging their cat before they left the house. MOL
My turn Shoko. Take it away Kali.
3. I have a hard time SHARING my salmon treats. They are so good. I do share though….mom makes me. 
4. I really enjoy …..SUN PUDDLES. THEY ARE VERY HARD TO FIND AT THIS TIME OF YEAR BUT WE KEEP LOOKING.
NELLIE FOUND ONE…ISN’T THIS A HAPPY MEMORY?
That was a fun Fill-In, thank you ladies.
A guiding candle can make all the difference to those struggling. 
Testing…Testing…Will it Hang Together?
I am much better with carpeted surfaces than wood. Those little splinters hurt the paw. So dad suggested I explain what’s happening instead of getting my paws in the way.
We were there to help inspect the new house on the deck. We have placed four blankets inside the house. The roof comes off the house for cleaning and tidying. There are two inches of Styrofoam on the outside which makes the house pink and draft free. Cow Kitty is secure in his masculinity so no problem with gender typing.
No, the house shouldn’t be so open and that herb has to go. What kinda herb is it? Think mom said a Bay Leaf Plant. It looks disgusting! No flowers just sharp pointy leaves….yuck. Back to Cow Kitty’s house. There is no place for him to sun himself in the morning glow. The steps lead up to the entrance and then he’d have to hop in like a bunny. What do you think Kali? I agree Shoko. If, he was in a rush to leave the house he may fall down the stairs. Not a good place to have the house.
This is more like it Shoko. He can run up the stairs and he has someplace to sit if he doesn’t feel like turning in for the night. The entrance is facing in the opposite direction of the wind current, This is the place Shoko. 
Look he likes his pink house with the Duck tape. The Duck’s tape adds a masculine look too!
He’s a happy nip stealer if I ever saw one.
