We tried to do a Halloween card one year in which we dressed all the cats up in costumes. This was the year Panda Bear was a clown.






























Panda Bear even made friends with the very shy, skittish, and semi-feral Samoa, who we lost back in 2015.

Hello Furriends! Today my sister Caramel (AKA Ms. Floooooofs) and I are three years old.
We are just taking it easy today. Breakfast, then a nap pile. Feel free to join us if you like to nap! Here is a baby picture of us when we were itteh bitteh! This is taken three years ago today – the day we were born!
This photo was taken a few weeks later. Caramel is the black fuzzball, and I am in front serving as a pillow to my sisfurs. See how big my gold flame mark looked compared to my tiny little head?
Mom and Dad brought us some fun nip toys from Coventry Cats, including a new nip nanner! Rumor has it there is a new Da Bird, but we haven’t seen it yet. (We dedded our old Da Bird.) Come on over to play and eat and nap!
Purrs,
Cookie and Caramel

Hi Efurryone! We is very sorry we hasn’t posted in a long time. Thanks to those of you who stopped by and wonderified where we were. Mommy has been super busy with working at the computer for “work”, and Daddy has been preoccupied, too. Daddy now has a bunch of free time, so he’s going to help us while Mommy plays with the computer on her lap on other things.
So, let’s start getting caught up, kitties!
Now that Kilroy and the Love Beasties have received their super-duper prize package, I can write about my shopping trip!
In honor of our Gotchaversary, we held a big prize drawing. One of the prizes was a big load of goodies from my favorite shopping place, Coventry Cats.
So, Mommy picked me up and off we went! Daddy went along too to document the whole adventure! Here we are leaving the house. I’m such a good kitty, I don’t need a traveling box PTU! I like Mommy’s shoulder!
I’ve got the whole back seat to myself and I’m all excited to go! Vamos Amigos!
Daddy felt I should have a better view, so I tried sitting in his lap for a short while. I need my own steering wheel!
Ooh! Oooh! I saw a squirrel! Let me out! Let me out!
Hey, the view is better from the back seat! I saw two vishus deer! Mommy stopped and let the vishus deer cross the road before we started moving again.
I like the back ledge. I can see in all directions from here. “Hey, Mom, stop making so many stops! You keep rocking me off the ledge.”
Yay! Our final destination. Mommy parked up high. Now we gets to cross the street!
All ready to go inside! I can’t wait to go shopping for my friends!
I like the nice owner lady. She gave me good scritches and pointed me in the direction of the fun toys!
Before doing any official shopping, I made sure to indulge myself in a little exploring. I am a good hider, but Mommy and Daddy still found me! That dang blue leash gave me away.
Okay, time to get shopping. There’s so much to pick from! Oooh, this mousie is good. I think I’ll get this for Kilroy and the crew. Maybe they’ll throw it around into their food dish or something.
I have no idea who these ladees are, but they affectionated me and called me “gorgeous”. I gave them my best flirty eye, and they went wild. I love my public.
I needed to do some further investigation. There’s great things to sniff! The whole store smells like catnip.
This guy works with the owner lady. He caught me sniffing behind the counter and investigating the ‘behind-the-scenes’ operations when I took a break from shopping.
These are some of the wonderful prizes I choosified for Kilroy and crew. I gots chew toys for Leah and Sadie and stuff for Kilroy and Macy including a bag of catnip, and a catnip bananer.
Oops, Mom. They don’t accept my “Mastercat” card. Would you pay for me? Please, pretty please?
That was a fun adventure at Coventry Cats! But we still had to buy a few more things! Mommy and I posed on the street. Aren’t I cute?
Daddy had been taking my pictures the whole time, so I asked Mommy to take my picture with him to prove that he was there too! Dis was taken in the room that moves.
Soon we was back on the road. I told Mommy to take us to the place we was adopted from because they has the bestest selection of Temptatshuns! Here I am on my perch watching the scenery go by!
After a while, I was getting a little dizzy, so I decided to lay low in the bottomest portion of the room that moves. Mommy says hoomans puts their footies here.
Mommy was driving too slow for my liking so I yelled at her to drive faster!
Finally! We arrived at my second shopping place. This one is Petsmart, and itz the place Mommy and Daddy adopted us from through PAWS. Oooh, looky at all the perchy places they have. Mommy let me climb all around! Can we gets one of these, Mommy, please???
I liked this one the bestest of them all. Nice and high! Right at Mommy’s face level! I could see me, and Meerkat and Padre really enjoying this one!
Here are some fellow kitties. These is young ones. I hope they find a forever home soon just like we did!
Look at all the wonderful treats!
Ah-ha! Finally the Temptashuns! Mommy let me sniff around for the bestest ones to buy for Kilroy and the crew!
Daddy said the freshest ones were in the back, so that’s where I went looking. I investigated the expire dates on all the packages and found the freshest ones for my friends!
Mommy thought I was spending waaaayyy too much time back there, so she decided to spoil my fun and catch me. I wuz starting to get tired anyways.
This was a long shopping trip! I was really starting to feel tired after all this excitement, so I asked Mommy and Daddy to take me home.
Finally, we arrived home. I wuz so tired, Mommy had to carry me in.
And that was my big shopping trip! It was a tiring day, but I kept my promise to do my shopping trip to celebrate our Gotchaversary. I really like all the good things Kilroy wrote about our prize package. It looks like they all had fun and I am happy they liked everything!

In other news, it’s not too late to sign up for the Furry Bambino Contest!
One of the prizes will be a shopping spree to Coventry Cats. I am going to go to Coventry Cats with Mom and Dad, and I will be your personal shopper.
The other prize will be a donation to a U.S. shelter or rescue group of your choosing. Mom says that it has be a legitimate shelter, not something called “Padre’s Nip Rescue Fund” or “Meerkat’s Shelter for Wayward Toys”.
Just leave a comment that you want to enter, before Wednesday October 22 at 6:00 pm EDT. (Stoopid new version of WordPress won’t let comments automatically show up anymore. Even when you set it to do just that. At Microsoft, they would call that a “feature”. Feh! So that means after you submit your comment, we will approve it so it shows up.)
To celebrate our first anniversary of living here in our Furrever Home, there will also be a PAR-TAY at Casa Bambino on Wednesday, October 22! We will be sure to have lots of fun things to do, like swinging from the chandelier or living room curtains, good food to eat, and great friends to see!

We Furry Bambinos are very grateful for the wonderful furrever home we have here. On October 22, it will be our First Adoption Anniversary, often referred to as a “Gotchaversary”.
To help celebrate, we decided to hold a contest. During our party, Mom and Dad will select a winner by drawing names from a hat (or food bowl, you get the idea).
There will be two prizes!
One prize is a “shopping spree” at our favorite cat specialty store, Coventry Cats. You may remember when I went to Coventry Cats myself for their 20th birthday party. If possible (Mom and Dad have to agree to this) I will personally select your items by going to Coventry Cats! There is also a “Canine Corner” section for woofies. But the store mostly focuses on cat stuff.
The other prize will be a donation to a pet rescue shelter of your choice. Umm, the shelter must be a legitimate U.S. shelter or rescue group, not something called “Padre’s Catnip Rescue” or “Meerkat’s Toy Shelter”.
Rules: If you would like to participate, leave your name in the comments. You don’t have to have a blog to enter. Cats, woofies, buns, hamsters, other furries are eligible. One entry per household per contest. So, this means that you can sign up for either or both contests. Exact amount of shopping spree and donation to be determined. Maybe based on the number of contestants, like $1 spree per entrant. It’s our contest and we can change the rules if we want to.
Drawing will be made on Wednesday, October 22, 2008, at about 9:30 pm EDT, which is approximately when we got to our furrever home last year.
In other news, tomorrow is Mom and Dad’s anniversary. I hope that they don’t get all mushy and kissy, and expect us to give them kissies. Yuk!
