And I'll have to say this for Fenris he does keep himself clean. He even manages to keep his paws from getting too muddy. Mommy says that it's a real shame when her cats are muddier then the doggie.

News by Charybdis
Scylla and I were feeling kinda left out as Fenris has the Tail Chasers Club and Socks belongs to the M-Cats Club so we were thrilled when Chilli told us that we could join her Silky & Slender Crew.
We meet a new cat today. Baby Patches, visit Confessions of the Plume to find out about the Spring Photo Contest for Cats.~Charybdis

Thoughts on Thursday ~ Fenris
I do not think it is a fair game though. The humans just stand around and throw the ball and I do all the running. I much prefer soccer.~Fenris

Warning ~ Pet rescue accused of taking money and dumping pets
Susan Garner operates a rescue called SG Alley Cats and is now accused of running a scheme to take money for surrendered cats before getting rid of them. The accusations came after Garner called animal control to come get 16 of her rescued cats.
Each animal was given to her along with a "drop-off" fee of $10 per cat. Authorities believe she took the money, then got rid of these 16 pets. Owners told authorities that they believed their cats would be safe, not end up at a shelter.
Of the 16 cats that went to the shelter, some were picked up by their previous owners who were contacted from the tags they still wore, one was euthanized due to illness upon arrival, some found adoptive homes, and the others scheduled for euthanasia have now been put on "hold" until the matter is sorted out.
This is despicable, we feel so bad for these poor cats. It's bad enough to be abandoned by your previous owner, but at least they cared enough about you to send you to a rescue and not a shelter where you would be euthanized. We don't blame the previous owners for feeling duped and angry. We just wishes all the cats had loving forever homes. You can read all about it here.

Tuesday Tales
Mommy got me this nice sheepskin to sleep on. I drag it out of my doghouse though and lay on it in the yard. It makes a very nice bed.
Mommy says I have to warn all the delicate ladies to avert their eyes for my centerfold pose.
Aren't you just dying to rub my belly?
~Fenris
Silly Sunday
Nope, I don't fetch. I capture the ball and you are suppose to chase me. If you catch me you can have the ball. Mommy IS NOT good at this game. Charybdis is kinda good at this game. Sometimes she gets to the ball before I do. But she runs away when I get there and lets me have the ball. I am not sure why no one seems to understand the rules to this game.
When I get tired of playing ball I find sticks to play with. I think they are related to Siena & Chilli's evil twig.~Fenris
Feathers on Friday
Come on Mommy and Fenris, you two are very pokey.
We are going on a nature walk, you are welcome to join us. The more the merrier I always say.
Hi Scylla, what have you been doing? (Scylla: I have been hunting in the woods. I will join the walk if I may.)
Here is Mr Gander. He is standing guard in the pond. Mrs Goose has a nest on the island. If we are lucky there will be some baby goslings for us to see soon.
Do you see the woodpecker? He is up near the house.
Scylla, what do you smell? (Scylla: I smells mice. I am off to hunt them. Bye) I hope you enjoyed our nature walk.

- When Daddy is gone I sleep in the bed with Mommy.
- Scylla can outrun me. I don't think this is fair.
- I love to talk. I will be just a meowing at Mommy when I see her outside. She wishes she knew what I was saying. She says I sound very interesting. She really should learn cat.

Mancat Monday ~ Socks does the Honest Meme
Derby thinks we are honest, he gave us all this award.
"When accepting this auspicious award, you must write a post bragging about it, including the name of the misguided soul (that would be Derby the Sassy Cat) who thinks you deserve such acclaim, and link back to said person so everyone knows he or she is real. Choose a minimum of 7 blogs that you find brilliant in content or design. Or improvise by including bloggers who have no idea who you are because you don’t have 7 friends. Show the 7 random victims’ names and links and leave a harassing comment informing them that they were prized with “Honest Weblog.” (We are going to break the rules and let whoever wants to play, play. We wouldn't want to harass anyone. Actually Mommy rebelled at having to type more. She insist she needs to take her sinus medicine and go to bed). Well, there’s no prize, but they can keep the nifty icon. List at least ten honest things about yourself. Then, pass it on! "
Socks gets to go first.

But this is the best seat in the house. Except for Mom's lap of course. Silly Daddy thought he was going to play Halo. I thinks he is going to pet me.~Scylla
Flowers on Friday
This pretty vine is growing back behind the pond. Mommy took a close up of the yellow flower.
This is a Redbud Tree. Some people call it a Judas Tree. It has pretty pink blooms in the Spring.
Our Camilla has pretty red blooms and is still blooming.
Toys Thursday
I like to sleep with the Snugga as not only is it fun to play with it is comforting.
I think I'll take a nap now. Catch you later. ~Fenris
