We have arrived at Friday, but I hesitate to offer my usual “Happy Friday” greeting. This week the pet blogging world was rocked by the sudden passing of well-known and respected cat blogger Paula Gregg of Sweet Purrfections. Paula also served as the Cat Writers’ Association council president for the past couple of years. I recently started working with Paula when I joined the CWA council last year. She was a wonderful leader and she will be missed by all who knew her.
Here’s what the cats were up to this week.
Involuntary Volunteer
Olive: What are they doing up there?
Mama: Playing.
Olive: Playing what?
Mama: I don’t know. Go join them.
Olive: I need to know what they’re doing first.
Mama: You want ME to go check?
Olive: That’d be great thanks.
Mama: I wasn’t volunteering.
Olive: I wasn’t asking.

Woodrow’s Big Adventure
Mama: What are you doing up there?
Woodrow: I’m off on an adventure!
Mama: On the counter?
Woodrow: Adventure has no boundaries!
Mama: There are no treats up there.
Woodrow: I’ll find them for you, Mama! The treat adventure has begun!
Mama: Please get down.
Woodrow: I’ll send a postcard with my progress!

Sophie Joins In
Sophie: I hear that Woodrow is off on an adventure.
Mama: That’s what he says.
Sophie: Is it to find my purse?
Mama: No, it’s to find the treat jar.
Sophie: An equally important quest! Perhaps I shall join him.
Mama: Or perhaps you should focus on finding your multiple lost purses.
Sophie: That may be a lifelong quest, Mama.

Planning Ahead
Mama: What are you doing?
Dexter: Looking under the bed for something.
Mama: Sophie’s purse? Don’t tell me she’s recruited you.
Dexter: No, your Mother’s Day present for Sunday.
Mama: What?
Dexter: So far, I spy three lint balls and two chewed-up Q-tips. Which would you prefer?
Mama: Neither!
Dexter: I’d go with the Q-tips. Easier to wrap.

Challenge Accepted
Harley: No!
Mama: What?
Harley: You can’t sit here.
Mama: I wasn’t going to.
Harley: Good. You won’t fit anyway.
Mama: Is that a challenge?
Harley: It’s a fact.
Mama: That definitely sounds like a challenge. Move over!!

Adventure Delays
Mama: How’s your treat adventure going?
Woodrow: Wonderful, thanks for asking.
Mama: So you’ve found the treat jar?
Woodrow: Not quite yet. I got sidetracked.
Mama: By what?
Woodrow: Empty box, Mama!!

Caring Cat

Mama: Who, me?
Olive: No, my interweb friends! You all having a good day?

Bonus Friday Photo
Here’s Sophie peeking into the bedroom at 5 in the morning, wondering where her breakfast is. Dexter’s there for support.
Have a wonderful weekend!
Follow our daily chats on Facebook and Instagram – or catch up on past chats!
yes sophie you should join him… we all need help finding the treat jar… and batman also has his robin so two are better than one ;O)
I know right where my treat jar is and I scream until Mom comes downstairs and responds to my “request” ! I think Sophie needs a purse closet – although she’d have to put them away in the closet after use and that may be a bit of a problem – and why she’s lost so many in the first place! Never mind. Dumb idea. Happy Friday and weekend.
Hugs, Teddy
Saucy kitties!
So very sorry about Paula. I didn’t know her — only saw her posts on FB’s Cats With Blogs — but she is clearly loved and admired and I’m sorry for your loss.
Cats and their boxes! It can derail any exploration.
I am very sorry about your loss. I read Paula’s obituary, and she seemed like a wonderful woman.
Okay kitties. Find those treats and purses and make room for Mom to sit.
Those were really good chats gang and I love that bonus photo. We’re all still sad about Paula too.
We prefer our breakfast at 4:30 AM and it better be there or we create a ruckus. Hope the adventures turned out well.
guyz….happee add venturez two all…. anda happee momz day two yur mom; a nice gift wood bee treetz and canned goodz cauz….. we guaranteez….her will “re gift” it !! :)
Adventures are fun wherever they are. Maybe Sophie should join him!
So very sorry to hear about Paula ! What a huge loss
Sophie, how do you keep losing your purses? I love your blue subway tiles by the counter. I have wanted some like that for years. Have a nice weekend. XO
Is that a cat arch in a door?? If my doors actually closed, I’d want one! Maybe for a future home.
You have sooooo much counter space! Just the bits shown exceed my total space and mine is completely occupied by cat stuff, a toaster oven, and a countertop dishwasher. I have barely enough free space to prep kitty dinner or make a sammich.
I don’t know the blogger but ai’m sorry for you, and the community’s, loss.
Yep! It’s a cat door that actually closes itself too (I wanted one that specifically closed as well). So if we need to keep the cats in a room, we can close the little cat door on them. The counter that Woodrow is on is in a back “utility” room off the kitchen. I really do try to keep them off the kitchen counters – which yes, are filled with things like toaster ovens and stuff. I try anyway…
I used to keep my cats off the kitchen counters but Tigeroo didn’t care. She esp like to walk across drying dishes to look out the window.
The service at that drive thru is pretty slow, right Sophie and Dexter! Paula will definitely be missed. It’s so sad.
Sophie, I know one day you will find those missing purses. ~Ernie
What is the cat world going to do without Paula? It’s just heartbreaking.
Sophie, you are just the sweetest kitty and between you and me, I lose things too – but then I get to get new ones, am I right? You go girl!
Mom and Harley, who won that chair challenge???
