Happy Friday, friends! We’re almost at the weekend, which is turning out to be a cat-filled one for us. Tomorrow, we’re visiting Orange County’s first cat cafe – Catmosphere Laguna! And you can bet I’ll be posting about it later.
And then on Sunday, Ross and I are volunteering at the latest Best Friends Super Adoption event! So far, all of the Best Friends adoption events have been held in Los Angeles County. This is their first venture outside of L.A. – they’re heading to Riverside in the Inland Empire to help reach more people in Southern California.
We hope everyone has a wonderful weekend! Here’s what the cats were chatting about this past week.
Duped!
Woodrow: Mama, this doesn’t smell like an ice cream parlor.
Mama: I know, I’m sorry.
Woodrow: You tricked me! Why are we at the vet?
Mama: To have your teeth cleaned.
Woodrow: Well, I guess as long as we can go for ice cream after.

Woodrow, Olive and Sophie have been dropped off at the vet for their dental cleanings. Fingers crossed for no extractions. Olive had five extractions at her last dental. Sophie had none. This is Woodrow’s first dental with us, and perhaps his first ever. We’ll let you know the verdict! UPDATE: Woodrow had his two upper second premolars removed (very tiny teeth). Sophie had the same, but only her left one removed. And Olive had none removed!
Embarrassed
Sophie: Mama, I know they had to take one of my teefies, but why did they have to take my leg furs, too? I look so silly.
Mama: Aww, no you don’t. You’re still very cute.
Sophie: But Olive looks silly, right? She’s missing her leg furs, too.
Mama: Uh sure, Olive looks silly.
Sophie: I knew it! You love me more than Olive.
Mama: I don’t think that’s what I said.
#twistedwords #letherhaveit

Sophie and Woodrow have been very lovey after returning from their dentals. They’re both still a tiny bit out of it from the anesthesia, even this morning, but are overall just fine. Olive has been her normal tortie self.
Dapper Cat
Dexter: Mama, Eddie is the one who got groomed today, so how did I end up in his bow tie? It still smells like dog.
Mama: Do you want me to take it off?
Dexter: I didn’t say that. I make this bow tie look goooood.
#sirdexter

Eddie has a mobile groomer that comes to the house. She always puts him in a bow tie when she’s done. How cute is that? And you know I can’t resist making the cats model the bow tie each time.
Catio Games
Mama: Whatcha doing, Olive?
Olive: Playing whack-a-Sophie. It’s like whack-a-mole, but with Sophie. Every time she tries to come in the catio, I whack her on the head.
Mama: That doesn’t sound very nice.
Olive: It was her idea, Mama. I swear.
Sophie: (from inside) Ready Olive? Here I come!
#whackasophie

This is actually something the cats do…but in reverse. Sophie will sit inside the house and block Olive from coming in. Olive sits at the opening and just paws at the flap repeatedly. Eventually, Sophie gets bored and leaves. However, this photo from today was actually right after Olive bopped Sophie on the head – she was already inside the catio. Cats! (P.S. Olive’s missing fur is from her dental procedure. Everything is okay!)
Impossibly Cute
Harley: Hi Mama!
Mama: Hi Harley.
Harley: Hi.
Mama: Um, do you want something?
Harley: A treat, please.

Master Groomer
Mama: Dexter, do you want to know what daddy said about you this morning?
Dexter: Yes, what did he say, Mama?
Mama: That you have the softest fur out of all of our cats.
Dexter: Well, I am an excellent groomer, and I put a lot of effort into these soft furs. I’m glad my efforts are finally being recognized.

Booping Time
Mama: BOOP!
Woodrow: Do it again, Mama!
Mama: Boopy boop boop!

Bonus Friday Video
The video is from Instagram stories. It’s Sophie in the catio the day after her dental. You’ll see she’s still a little wobbly at one point.
If you haven’t already, be sure to enter our Basepaws giveaway! It ends on Sunday.
Catch up on past chats! And follow our daily conversations on Facebook and Instagram!
we are glad the dental work went well ;o) have a wonderful time in your new cat cafe ;O)
What a chatty week you’ve had with some dentals tossed in the mix. Glad everyone is fixed up toofie-wise. Love the video……nothing like some pets and scratches from Mom.
Hugs, Teddy
Good news , everything went well 😊
Now, extra-pets for everybody!
Have a splendid, sunny Cat Cafè Day 😜

It’s fun to revisit your conversations again! They always make me smile!
have a great time this weekend!!
Thank you for sharing your week and it’s always great to watch a video of you. Your all so beautiful. Hugs and Purrs.x
I am sure glad to hear that the dental thing is over and done with. That video was fun!
You guys have had a chatty week! We’re glad your dentals went well. I didn’t like mine at all! They took my fangs and two other teeth. Lexy goes in January for hers.
such a cute group! sorry they had more extractions but i’m glad all went well. thanks for the info on the laguna cat cafe.. I hadn’t heard about that one. Have you been to the one in LA? I’ve only been to the mobile cat cafe (Moon Cat cafe?) that’s based out of Long Beach.
have a great weekend… IE when the temps are supposed to go high again?! UGH!!
FIVE webcams at the Laguna cat cafe?!/ AWESOME!! (the cats are really active right now)
I’ve been to both in LA (Crumbs & Whiskers and CatCafe Lounge). I’ve also been to Moon Cat Cafe! Janet, the owner, is so nice.
Yeah, will be hot this weekend in IE! But luckily, I’ll be stationed indoors this time. :-)
You’re approx 100 miles south of me and still do more in LA than I do!! I used to be up there a lot but I burned out about 5 yrs ago.
I created a post about the Laguna cafe and their webcams. Unfortunately, Laguna is another place I never visit.
Moon Cat was empty when I visited so I had all the kitties to myself… and it was the end of the day so Janet offered me all the baked goods that I wanted (I just took a couple).
Haha, it does sound like I do a lot in LA, but I don’t really go that often.
The Riverside adoption event made tonight’s news… 132 animals adopted today. I hope it’s equally successful tomorrow!!
Sunday was slower, but still a lot of animals adopted overall! And more cats than dogs were adopted on Sunday.
I am glad everyone’s dental went well.
We adored the chatter between mama and the cats. Made us snicker. Tyebe can relate to Olive and Shoko begrudgingly can relate to Sophie. Budd just shakes his head in amazemnt.
Jean
Oh, the irony. Ummm … Sophie? You’re well known for your unique silliness (Kleenex box?) … the shaved furs kind of go with your overall rep. Though we’re sorry you had to lose a tooth.
We’re glad everybuddy survived their dentals. Don’t worry, Sophie…that fur will grow back. Unfortunately the tooth they took won’t.
Sounds like a fun, cat-filled weekend!
Sophie is a bit wobbly in the video, but glad it is ok. It’s fun to talk to the birds.
You poor kitties having toofies removed. The Tooth Fairy will visit soon.XO
So glad those dentals went well! Dexter, you are rocking that bow tie, dude!
Is there a Tooth Fairy for cats? Endless possibilities there…
We are glad everybody did well and that your vet will be able to send all his or her children to collage.
Love the photographs and conversations!
xxoo

Woodrow is the sweetest thing in these conversations. And Dexter definitely makes the bow look better.
