Cat Crazy Saturday - Merry Catmas!

Happy New Years Eve!
This is the last Caturday of the year!
I've been thinking about how different this Christmas could of been if we haven't got Sisco back
You may remember the awful time Sisco was missing
I don't think I have ever felt so desperate and heartbroken
Those two weeks really put things into perspective and definitely made me realise what's important in life
Sisco is a part of our little family and without her we felt a terrible void
My heart goes out to you if you've lost a pet, the pain is dreadful
So this New Year lets all make an extra effort to spend more time with family (and your furr-family) and friends
And let the people in your life know how much you love them
Life's short, let's make every day count

Phew,
That's the emotional part over, lets look at some cuties! ;)
How cute is this?













The Kitten Covers have created some adorable Christmas versions!



















































Adorable!














This video is a bit silly, but it really made me smile
It's worth watching just to see the adorable kitties!

I LOVE this Gemma Correll illustrations
I think many of us can relate to this one
















Give your furr babies a BIG kiss from me and I'll see you in the New Year

Lots of Love

Back with my Baby

Hi there!!
Hope you all had a lovely Christmas!
We came back from Wales today and picked Sisco up as soon as we could
The people at the cattery were really lovely and Sisco seemed happy
I called a few times to see how she was (I managed to resist the urge to ask them to put the phone by her so I could say hi!)
Our little family is back together and she's being spoilt as usual

In an earlier post I mentioned the St. Strompus cat hospice that I sent some catnip fish to
Well, I got sent some pictures!
Apparently the cats played with them for ages and then they were hung on their little Christmas tree!
How sweet is that?
I hope it brightened up the little ones day















































Here is the link if you want to know more about the wonderful work they do

Have a fantastic Christmas full of love and laughter

Sisco update & An amazing animal sanctuary

Hi!!
Hope you're ready for Christmas!
We're wrapping presents tonight, then tomorrow is our last night in London
Then we have to take our little one to the cattery
I haven't posted photos of Sisco in a while, so here's a few of my little princess!













This is her radiator bed, which she hates on the radiator but loves on the chair


































She loves lying on our desks as its warm, and loves knocking everything off!
































































You may remember I grew tomato plants from seeds in the Summer
I realised I hadn't mentioned them
Well, this is what I grew! haha!













I enjoyed it though and will do it again next year
I learnt alot!

The last week I've been busy making catnip fish for this amazing no kill animal sanctuary called FarplaceI found out about them through Twitter, they do some amazing work!
I also found out that they run hospice for sick cats called St.Strompus
So I got in touch to see if they'd like some catnip fish (Sisco sneakily took one)
If only there were more places like this

















Ok, I'm off to wrap presents!
Have a good evening

Happy Monday!
Are you excited about Christmas?
We're waiting for one more present to come in the post and we can wrap them!
Although we are also realising that we have less than 5 days left until Sisco goes into the cattery
So guess who's been having a LOT of treats?

















Yes Sisco, of course you do!

We haven't been feeling too festive the last few days as Paul's dad, Ted has been in hospital
We weren't sure if he would be out for Christmas, but we had the great news today he's coming home!
Glad you're better Ted!
We love you!!
(He always reads my blog and has actually said to me 'you haven't done a post today! haha)

Cat Crazy Saturday

Happy Caturday!!
Just one more Caturday until Christmas!
I'm very happy to say all of our Christmas shopping is done!
(Thank you Internet shopping)
But, it's also less than a week until we put our little princess in the cattery :(
So, this week she has been basically doing what she wants
You want to sit on my desk and knock everything off? Sure
You want to eat all your treats? Ok then
You want to get muddy and leave prints all over the flat? Go ahead!
Yes, we are controlled
But you know, I wouldn't have it any other way
Sisco, you are the best (and most definitely moodiest) little girl
Onto this weeks finds!

How amazing is this illustration?

















I am SO in love with this Gemma Correll phone cover!

















I LOVE this mug!!



















I can't help but love kitsch jumpers
And this is a pretty good one!

















Sisco would totally rock this outfit!
This little babe even looks like Sisco!
It's a sign
Sisco MUST have this dress!












This 'cat's in space' tumblr is pretty funny!





















Give your furr babies a kiss on the nose from me!

Harrod Blank Art Cars

I think this is really fun and want to share it with you
Harrod Blank treats cars as a canvas!
I love them!
Especially the 'Camera Van', he attached 1,705 cameras to a 1972 Dodge van
Also some working ones to capture peoples reactions
Amazing!
