Boo! Did I Scare You?

The last few weeks have been a bit eventful …….But amidst the hustle and bustle, I managed to get a costume for Kitty as well as attend a really cool event called Project Purr, an initiative by Berkeley’s Place.

So let’s start with the costume…..

This is Kitty’s first halloween costume and how fitting is it that she chose to be….Supergirl! She is definitely the supergirl in our home!

 

Doesn’t she look fabulous? I love her stance! She looks like she can take on the world! LOL Kitty was amazingly patient and didn’t put up a fuss when I tried the costume on her. I think she has now come to the realization that she will have to put up with my obsession of trying to make her the most famous cat in Canada! And this includes wearing outfits and posing for photos on a daily basis!

On to Project Purr…. This is an annual event which gathers people to build shelters for feral cats so that the kitties can stay safe and warm over the winter. It is so crucial that these cats have well insulated homes to find refuge in as winters here can get really brutal. If you would like to know more this project and other great events, please visit www.berkeleysplace.com.

Here are the shelters that were built at this event!

There was also a mini marketplace… Some really cute items were available for sale

I purchased some bandannas and catnip toys for Kitty. She absolutely loved them! Here she is having some fun with her new found goodies and rocking her new Halloween bandanna!

You can also find more great photos of Kitty and her new toys over at her Instagram @kittymojito. She now has over 1500 followers from all over the world!

Prepping For Halloween

I usually don’t pay much attention to Halloween….. I think I’ve only dressed up once… ever! LOL

But this year, I thought I would spend a little extra time and put some effort into getting a costume for Kitty 🙂 She now has over 1100 friends on Instagram and I have had some inquiries as to what her costume will be!  I think all her friends would like to see her in something fun for the holiday!  I don’t want to make it too complicated so I am hoping to buy something from the store and add a home made accessory 🙂 Watch this space for photos 🙂

Here are some ideas that looked appealing 🙂

I am not sure if Kitty will be patient enough to model such cute outfits however I will try 🙂

Here Comes Fall!

I can’t believe how quickly time is going by… It is almost October!

As much as I love summer, Fall is one of my favourite times of the year.. There is something about the cool, crisp air, the ever changing colours of the leaves that are so beautiful and of course, the boots and sweaters kind of weather! I love sitting outside, wrapped in a blanket, sipping on some hot tea…… !

This fall will be even more exciting for me as I have officially launched my new book ‘Home is where my cat is’. I have had great response to the book and I look forward to selling lots of copies in order to raise funds for Berkeley’s Place and Safe Team Rescue!

If you were wondering how to get your hands on a copy, you can order online at http://www.blurb.com/b/7353558-home-is-where-my-cat-is or send me an email at crazycatladycorner@yahoo.com.

Project Update #1

Hello everybody! I just wanted to give you all a quick update as to how things are coming along with my new book project!!! I have had some great responses and have about 11 stories put together so far!

I still have room for another 10 or so stories so please make sure to get in touch if you would like your kitties featured on the book.

A little request…. when you send me emails with the stories, please make sure to include the following :

  • 3 clear photos of each kitty (high resolution if possible)
  • A little history on the kitty and how you found them.
  • A bit on kitty’s personality, their favourite things like food, toys etc and a day in the life of the kitty…. what is an average day like for them….

I am hoping to do a pre-print of the book this weekend to see how the picture quality turns out so if you want to get those stories to me sooner, that would be great!

New Project In The Works!

Hello Friends!

I have been thinking of doing something fun for the upcoming holiday season and I came up with an idea of doing a little book of Kitty & friends…..!

It would be a book full of photos and stories of kitties who have been adopted from rescues and shelters. Tt would be an opportunity to give thanks and a shout out to the rescues as well!

Once the book is ready, I am hoping to sell it and have all the proceeds from it go to various local rescues. I haven’t picked which rescues to donate towards yet. I know a few organizations that build shelters for feral colonies so that those kitties are warm and safe during winter. This would be a great project to contribute to….

If you have any suggestions and ideas about this project, please let me know:) I would love to get some feedback!!

Visit To The Vet!

Well it’s that time of the year….. ! The dreaded visit to the vet!

In the past, although she isn’t too thrilled about being stuffed into a carrier and taken to the vet, Kitty hasn’t really put up too much of a fight…..

This year, it was actually a really enjoyable experience! PS. Kitty wants me to tell you that it was fun except for when the Doc used the bumstick!!!

Here is how our day went……

First, Kitty got all cosy in her stroller…… I love this stroller so much! Not only is it comfortable for Kitty, it saves me from getting a bad shoulder pain from carting the carrier around!

It was a beautiful day! We stopped to look at some butterflies and say hello to some doggies that passed by….

The walk up to the vet clinic was about 15 mins… Kitty was chilling out as she enjoyed the sights and sounds.

When we got there, she was so great! She patiently waited for Doc, didn’t fuss when she got the needle and held on to my hand when the dreaded bumstick  had to be used!

She was weighed, checked out and given some yummy treats by the Doc. She has a clean bill of health! Yay! We took a selfie to celebrate! LOL

And then we made our way to the pet store next door!

“What would you like, Kitty?” I asked her……

“Oh, that tuna snack looks good, Mama”she said….. We walked up the aisles and Kitty finally picked some treats….. She wanted to try something new…… So we picked up new flavours of Greenies and a new brand of wet food. Oh, and the bag of treats you see here is her gift from Doc!

And we started our walk back home!

Kitty had a little nap when we got back and then spent the rest of the day chilling out on the deck, snacking on her cat grass and enjoying the sunshine!

Do you have any interesting stories of when your kitties visited the vet?

You can comment here or email it to crazycatladycorner@yahoo.com.

Kitty and I would love to hear them!
