Our Mum has been participating in Secret Paws since 2008 when she joined it with William. She has met new cats and food people nearly every year. This year was no exception thanks to BJ Bangs who kept the tradition going! This year we met the Lonestar Cats and a few dogs too. Our Grammie in Maine just had her Westie Casper pass away right before Christmas, so seeing these Westies was nice.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhuzL1WhdWprmdpots_JW3c46hRB4uJ2oKz6URdyKmCW9lenEKDZFkEU_AO3bonYDeQHkBUQN89l4mQ6LwtJwGK0Iz369MPTw36v1PST3ue9aVtkTlFKMjElUURJ1AtNIRz-tpy7QI3pJhOrehFgH68mseysCsp5U8uke0Q1ypwvD0jF5qgF_gcJ0sM/s4000/20221217_183959.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4000" data-original-width="3000" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhuzL1WhdWprmdpots_JW3c46hRB4uJ2oKz6URdyKmCW9lenEKDZFkEU_AO3bonYDeQHkBUQN89l4mQ6LwtJwGK0Iz369MPTw36v1PST3ue9aVtkTlFKMjElUURJ1AtNIRz-tpy7QI3pJhOrehFgH68mseysCsp5U8uke0Q1ypwvD0jF5qgF_gcJ0sM/s320/20221217_183959.jpg" width="240" /></span></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Buckwheat is no stranger to receiving these yearly packages of joy and is always the first one to try to raid the box. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhtLijuCEUH34APVrwX7wWCC5n9uf6InVeGTkgih4eCv5vxqXu9NkfngersKytwLjthBb3olSTNpnt1Q-swq-rCpm1-HuDBgMqf_fpgOyFQN7IIbz4QD0uB9vjJUcnV_b-mBvuS3o_sdC9KMHDUeDXSAMRAUgZacRqQ0X0FtbzOjsTEHg6S_Q-hxdlo/s4000/20221217_183750.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4000" data-original-width="3000" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhtLijuCEUH34APVrwX7wWCC5n9uf6InVeGTkgih4eCv5vxqXu9NkfngersKytwLjthBb3olSTNpnt1Q-swq-rCpm1-HuDBgMqf_fpgOyFQN7IIbz4QD0uB9vjJUcnV_b-mBvuS3o_sdC9KMHDUeDXSAMRAUgZacRqQ0X0FtbzOjsTEHg6S_Q-hxdlo/s320/20221217_183750.jpg" width="240" /></span></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Look'it at all!

Once again we pawticipated in the <a data-mce-href="http://secretpaws2016.blogspot.com/2016/" href="http://secretpaws2016.blogspot.com/2016/">Secret Paws</a> gift exchange organized by Truffle and Brûlée and Mom Paula. We really appreciate all their hard work in setting this up each year.</div>
Our gifts this year came all the way from the U.K. and the <a data-mce-href="https://katzenworld.co.uk/" href="https://katzenworld.co.uk/">Katzenworld</a> gang. The box was chock full of toys from their shop as well as a super cute “Oliver, Nubia & Snowball” mug for mom.<br />
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 1.3em;">
Most of the toys are filled with either catnip or valerian. We have not had valerian before so we will have a new experience playing with these toys. We let you know what we think in a future post.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 1.3em;">
Of course, not all of us showed up for the opening ceremony. But those who didn't (Giulietta, Astrid and Lisbeth) will get plenty of opportunity to try out and play with all the goodies.</div>

Mauricio really enjoyed the gingerbread man with valerian. And he's already taken one of the big grey mousies upstair for some night-time play. Only the best toys get dragged from one floor to another!</div>

Of course, Mom did not open all the toys for us. Even with seven Kitties Blue, it would be too much all at once. We know she'll be doling them out over the next few months.</div>

Thank you so much! We are so happy with our gifts!<br />
<br />
Something for everyone: nip toys, chicken treats, balls, tea accessories, TISSUE PAPER, and a BOX. (Some of our other presents got mixed in with the cool stuff Katie and Waffles sent, like the beachball.)<br />
<br />

We had two unboxings, one downstairs on Christmas and one upstairs on Boxing Day.<iframe allowfullscreen="" class="YOUTUBE-iframe-video" data-thumbnail-src="https://i.ytimg.com/vi/axma0eYTDyA/0.jpg" frameborder="0" height="266" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/axma0eYTDyA?feature=player_embedded" width="320"></iframe></div>

I got to play with the nip Christmas tree before anyone else.<br />

Bleu tried to fit in the box, but he is a BIG kitty, so although he had fun trying, he did not succeed. He played with the banana instead.<br />
<br />

Nutmeg had the most fun with the nip tree.<iframe allowfullscreen="" class="YOUTUBE-iframe-video" data-thumbnail-src="https://i.ytimg.com/vi/1KrMBGK54jQ/0.jpg" frameborder="0" height="266" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/1KrMBGK54jQ?feature=player_embedded" width="320"></iframe></div>

It took us until a couple of days after Christmas to finally convince Mom to let us open our <a data-mce-href="http://secretpaws2015.blogspot.com/" href="http://secretpaws2015.blogspot.com/">Secret Paws</a> gifts. We know she wasn't trying to be mean. We know she and Dad were super busy with <a data-mce-href="http://thecatonmyhead.com/?p=18589/" href="http://thecatonmyhead.com/?p=18589/">Fiona</a> and not in a very festive mood.</div>

We also got this Snacky Snowman. We had the treats out of it within seconds. There also was a beautiful green Christmas stocking and cozy blanket (shown here with Mom's gifts: a bracelet, holiday pin and small hinged box with angel cat.) The blue-eyed, white kitty looks just like our angel brofur, Madison, which touched Mom's heart.</div>

We agreed this year to be matched with a Secret Paws purrticipant located outside the U.S. We were so excited when we were matched with dear New Zealand friends, <a data-mce-href="http://dashkitten.com/" href="http://dashkitten.com/">DashKitten</a>. Mom was late to mail and was certain they wouldn't get their gifts until after Christmas, but we received word that they arrived on Christmas Eve. Mom Marjorie has posted photos of a couple items on their blog. That was nice, as our empty-headed mom only took a photo after she had wrapped everything.</div>

Do you like the wrapping paper Mom had made for us? It matched our Christmas card, which she actually got in the mail today. For those of you who live outside the U.S., we figure you might get your card in time for Valentine's Day. In the next few days, while our dad is watching football, Mom will do her best to get our e-mail cards sent.</div>

Faraday here, with our 2015 SECRET PAW UPDATE!<br />
<br />
This year, we received <b>two</b>
amazing, fun-filled packages from the sunny Land of Down Under: from
our friends d'Artagnan Rumblepurr and Diego 'Hamlet' Moonfur, <a href="http://rumble-bum.blogspot.com/">of the blog Rumblebum</a>!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
They sent one package directly to us, and sent another package to us shipped from Baby Patches' online <a href="http://www.nipandbones.com/">pet store, Nip and Bones</a>. SCORE!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Check it out! We got WAND Toys (a REAL Da Bird which somekitty might have already deaded but we won't point paws).<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
AAAND all the way from new Zealand, we gotted freeze dried deliciousness, too!<br />
<br />

<br />
And an amazingly PINK Yeeeooowww toy Allie immediately claimed (gee we wonder WHY?!?).<br />
Rumor has it that somekitty was too *ahem* stoned to be reached for comment.<br />
<br />

We are so excited to share our Secret Paws presents with you. As you will see, not only did we get fabulous presents BUT everything was wrapped beautifully. Our Secret Paw really put lots of thought and attention into our gifts!!<br />
<br />
Our Secret Paw package came from our pals Angel, Max and Kirby at <a href="http://awizardandanangel.blogspot.com/">A Wizard and an Ange</a>l<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
We put a slideshow together of us opening our gifts. If there are some missing in the photos it's because we all picked favorites and ran off with them! Mom also got an adorable cat calendar and a super fun pen. Click<a href="http://www.friendsfurevercatblog.blogspot.com/2016/01/thankful-thursday-secret-paws-2015.html"> HERE</a> to visit our blog and see her presents!<br />

Many thanks to Angel, Max, Kirby and Mom Nancy for the fabulous gifts. You were super generous and we loved everything!! We also want to thank Mom Paula from <a href="http://sweetpurrfections.blogspot.com/">Sweet Purrfections</a> to putting together the 2015 Secret Paw. We know it's a lot of work and, once again, you did a fantastic job!The Florida Furkidshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14708483531149879310noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8606248236762181912.post-77453374901685887542016-01-03T21:53:00.000-08:002016-01-03T21:53:43.937-08:00Thank You King Spitty!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
One of my fave mancats <a href="http://spittyspeaks.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Spitty</a> was my Secret Paws! I was so excited when the box arrived. The package was huge and heavy. I think when TW saw it was from San Francisco, she secretly wished it contained 10 lbs of Ghirardelli chocolate but that’s neither here nor there. It was all about ME not her although there were gifts for both her and even Pop.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Just what I axed Santa for." width="400" /></a></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Upon opening the package, I found a handsome autographed photo of Spitty—be still my heart—and a card containing the smallest piece of Spitty.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>

How did he know I wanted Spitty furs?" width="310" /></a></div>
<br />
The prezzies were all nicely wrapped. Spitty did a fine job of overseeing the wrapping. All gifts were wrapped in festive tissue paper; most were without tape so I could use the tissue for play without getting stuck to it.<br />
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I got tons of prezzies that I’m just beginning to enjoy. I got food (Wellness), treats (Greenies & Wellness Kittles), my own blankie, three kinds of nip and some toys. We/TW got a pretty blue blankie that perfectly matches her robe and Pop got memorabilia of some SF sports teams. They both want me to thank Spitty’s human for thinking of them.<br />

<br />
I’m not even through yet! A few days after Christmas, a package of peacock feathers arrived! All the writing was in Chinese with no hint of who sent it. Several PM’s later, I had my answer: they were part of my Secret Paws!<br />

One of the toys is heart-shaped and I’ve been tugging on Spitty’s heart strings since then.<br />

Spitty and his human went above and beyond my/our expectations. Thanx, guys, for helping to make a sick kitteh’s Christmas merry and bright. Although I do have to ponder this—with all the noms and treats Spitty sent, does he like his ladycats fat? HAH!</div>

First, Mom made us WAIT TILL CHRISTMAS MORNING to open our Secret Paws box.<br />
<br />
<br />
She played with us with all the cool toys in the box and then she went out and bought herself an electric warming blanket. I'll bet you know what happened then. Sigh.<br />
<br />

We played a jumping -- I mean guessing -- game while Mom opened the beautiful packages for us.<br />
<br />

We got treats and so many toys that everyone gets to play! Becket and Karma have catnip mousies. Cheshire has a kicking toy. The Cheeses and Reggie love the wand toy.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Brie ESPECIALLY loves the wand toy.<br />

She's just thinking about where to hang a pretty, little stained glass kitty, too.<br />
<br />
Thank you so, so much to our Secret Paws Marty the Manx cat and his mom Kelly Jo! Our Christmas was PURRFECT thanks to you!<br />

Louie refused to wait and dug right into the wrapped gifts. Each one was kindly wrapped in a lovely Christmas-themed, easy to tear, tissue paper.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Jq40XA-30H4/VoRnyoaCzHI/AAAAAAAAC5c/Q3QFxtQr9jY/s1600/IMG_4801.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="261" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Jq40XA-30H4/VoRnyoaCzHI/AAAAAAAAC5c/Q3QFxtQr9jY/s320/IMG_4801.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
Louie unwrapped the nip naner and Pinckle promptly took it, as seen above.<br />
I certainly wasn't going to be left out and so...<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-IHspt8EOx1Q/VoRnyec8VqI/AAAAAAAAC5Q/TiRL9AqDs68/s1600/IMG_4800.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="215" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-IHspt8EOx1Q/VoRnyec8VqI/AAAAAAAAC5Q/TiRL9AqDs68/s320/IMG_4800.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
I had a turn with that naner, as well.<br />
Pinckle decided she wasn't finished with it yet...<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-K2Mt0bK2pAc/VoRnyIPEePI/AAAAAAAAC5o/CA7TXz8E38I/s1600/IMG_4796.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="239" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-K2Mt0bK2pAc/VoRnyIPEePI/AAAAAAAAC5o/CA7TXz8E38I/s320/IMG_4796.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
but I was NOT ready to give it back quite yet. Don't I look fierce there under the lights? God, I look SO cool. Anyway.... There was also a nip cigar, which Peabody had her way with<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-caLHjNHgKXY/VoRny_ukI8I/AAAAAAAAC5Y/J9jvsYTaqvU/s1600/IMG_4802.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-caLHjNHgKXY/VoRny_ukI8I/AAAAAAAAC5Y/J9jvsYTaqvU/s320/IMG_4802.JPG" width="269" /></a></div>
and a nip fish, too.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-5nUyLJ6ZFvo/VoRny9tJfoI/AAAAAAAAC5k/irCl7f7WN3Q/s1600/IMG_4803.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-5nUyLJ6ZFvo/VoRny9tJfoI/AAAAAAAAC5k/irCl7f7WN3Q/s320/IMG_4803.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
As well as several tasty bags of kitty treats, a delicious peppermint not-for-cats for MomFOD, and even something for Doodle.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-wYWWNAlat5c/VoRnyMruwQI/AAAAAAAAC5s/fUyT4Z8Q_CU/s1600/IMG_4798.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-wYWWNAlat5c/VoRnyMruwQI/AAAAAAAAC5s/fUyT4Z8Q_CU/s320/IMG_4798.JPG" width="240" /></a></div>
She was very pleased to not be left out.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

A super big thank you to our Secret Paw, our friends over at Cat a Holic blog Laila and Minchie.<br />
Thanks, guys!! We loved it!<br />
<br />
Love,<br />
Crepes (and Pinckle, Louie, Niles, Mrs. P, Doodle, and MomFOD.)<br />
<br />
PS. Niles also got in on the action but he's hard to photograph and wished to remain anonymous while indulging in his nip habit. He can be so old fashioned some times. <br />

But yesterday I took her in paw and gave her the what-for and said there'd be h-e-double-hockey-sticks to pay if I did not get to open my package!</span><div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">It was from the <span style="color: #cc0000;"><b>utterly fabulous</b> </span>Caren & Cody of<span style="color: #38761d;"> <a href="http://www.catchatwithcarenandcody.com/"><span style="color: #38761d;">Cat Chat</span></a> </span>fame, all the way back in Snow Country, USA!</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">It looked innocuous enough in its brown paper wrapping:</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-mLEjqcNuAEw/VoQsv-4_yLI/AAAAAAAAOmw/QsK3dTlxUwA/s1600/unwrapped.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-mLEjqcNuAEw/VoQsv-4_yLI/AAAAAAAAOmw/QsK3dTlxUwA/s400/unwrapped.jpg" width="298" /></span></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">And although you can't really tell from this picture, I think Cody used up about <b><span style="color: #cc0000;">16-1/2 rolls</span></b> of packing tape sealing that sucker shut, MOL!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">After I (or, to be fair, the Human and her thumbs) used a giant pair of very sharp scissors, the alluring contents were revealed:</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-1J8SWSwvMas/VoQs1Q7dpAI/AAAAAAAAOm4/4uchGpI1PMw/s1600/open.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><img border="0" height="299" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-1J8SWSwvMas/VoQs1Q7dpAI/AAAAAAAAOm4/4uchGpI1PMw/s400/open.jpg" width="400" /></span></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">(And please note whose name was first on the card--<b>mine</b>, in case you can't see it very well.)</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">And then, and then, and THEN, the contents were revealed in all their glory:</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">We had said in our Secret Paws questionnaire that my favorite color was <b><span style="color: #cc0000;">red</span></b> and that I loved wand toys best, and Cody came through with flying colors on the toy selection! There were two Dr. Seuss wand toys, and a <span style="color: #cc0000;"><i>red birdie one</i> </span>that (now listen to this!) <b>warbles</b>!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">So then this morning I got to play with one of my new toys and it was most excellent:</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">After a good session with <b><i><span style="color: #cc0000;">RedBird</span></i></b>, it was time for my nap (the Human says I am a <i>Lazy Player</i>, but I say I am just conserving energy for later).

Lazarito here: I'm the Elder Statescat of the House and I can't believe all the wonderful aromas coming from the Secret Paws!! Being a gentleman cat, I let our guest, Sisi, open the box first. The Kind Lady (aka Mom) did not let us open all the gifts, she says we get to open them all on New Year's Day. But here are a few of my photos:</div>

A beautiful, warm and soft scarf with PAW TRACKS all over it! Totally pawsome!<br />

They sure know how to make a dood happy. The best part was the new wet food dish, with the fish bones on it, my dry food bowl has fish bones on it too, so it matches great<br />

They have good taste in toys too, they sent this little nip toy and a wand toy. I can't leave out the tasty temptations, they found some cool new ones that roll, I'd never had those before.<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-u-o_0x2iWnI/VoCHd7V6kDI/AAAAAAAACZg/1MfjxhR3vQI/s1600/20151224_115604%2B%25281%2529.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" height="180" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-u-o_0x2iWnI/VoCHd7V6kDI/AAAAAAAACZg/1MfjxhR3vQI/s320/20151224_115604%2B%25281%2529.jpg" width="320" /></a><br />

in a Chewy's box. </span><br />

Tessa bogarting the wrapped gifts.</div>
<br />
… and then Tessa horned in, pulled out all the gifts from inside the box, and settled in for a long winter’s smell-fest.<br />
<br />

Tessa goes in for the kill.</div>
<div class="wp-caption aligncenter" id="attachment_10221" style="width: 460px;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
</div>
But then, without hesitation, she went in for the kill! Witnesses described the scene as, “Horrifyingly crinkly,” and “Attack-like.” One went as far as to say, “Whoa!”<br />
<br />
And mom swiftly stepped in to rescue the gifts from the Jaws of Death, also known as Tessa who cares not that Santa’s helpers might be watching and reporting back to the big man himself on who is naughty and who is nice.<br />
<br />
Clearly, this called for a brief intermission. One that lasted for over a week!<br />

Thank you for all the wonderful cards!</div>
<br />
Oh look! Pretty holiday cards! Thank you so much to so many of you who sent cards! So many beautiful cards, we decided to move them from the mantel where <a href="http://www.colehauscats.com/12142015-multicat-monday-and-the-snowy-owl/" target="_blank">that pesky snowy owl threatened to un-décor our décor,</a> to the buffet where we think they look that much prettier. For those keeping score, the cats received 34 cards. The humans got 1, as should be expected.<br />
<br />
Tonight, the Secret Paws package excitement resumed.<br />

Ruby picks up where Tessa left off.</div>
<br />
Since Ruby prefers to stay in her room all the time and often misses out on things, we let her unwrap most of the gifts. As if on cue, she picked up where Tessa left off. So many good whiffs! So many good rips and tears!<br />

Everyone had <strike>one</strike> two things on their minds to request for Christmas: Greenies and mousies. And guess what? They got Greenie Treats and mousies! Lots of mousies! LOTS and LOTS of mousies! It’s like, mousie world around here! Brown mousies, gray mousies, mousies with feathers on their <br />
tails!<br />

Miss Newton surveys the goods .</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
Miss Newton proclaimed the Greenie Treats and mousie gifts the best ever. And while doing so, Viola sure kept an eye out to make sure Miss Newton didn’t get any funny ideas about HER feather-tailed mousies!<br />
<br />
<em>“I dunno,”</em> she said. <em>“Is it just me, or does the adorable kitty on this card look like he’s reaching for my feather-tailed mousies?”</em><br />
<div align="center">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-IvJXCNd1yzg/VnzNSIw9nlI/AAAAAAAAAZ4/XJ4U9F3evoA/s1600/SecretPaws2015_11.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="317" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-IvJXCNd1yzg/VnzNSIw9nlI/AAAAAAAAAZ4/XJ4U9F3evoA/s400/SecretPaws2015_11.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div align="center">
Miss Newton reads the card.</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
… which prompted Miss Newton to say, <em>“Hey! Didn’t anyone read the card? All these great things are from… Ducky! Oh, I love that Mancat Ducky! He’s a ginger too, you know. So suave, so handsome!”</em><br />
<br />
Viola worried for a moment that maybe suave Ducky might want his feather-tailed mousies back, especially if he found out she liked them so much. <em>“Maybe I just ought to keep close to those mousies, just in case anyone else decides to take off with them,”</em> she said.<br />

Olivia might like the feather mice too.</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
So when Olivia pawed and sniffed her way through the Greenies (“<em>Yums!”</em> she said) and all those wonderful mousies, Viola’s sharp eyes made sure Olivia kept her nose away from her feather-tailed mousies.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<em>“That’s right, panther sister, sniff those mousies. Sniff ’em good. But I’m watching where your sniffer is at and these here mousies aren’t the mousies you’re looking for.”</em></div>

Pia and Viola showdown over feather mice.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
It was a little different story with sister Pia, who loves mousies with feathered tails, even though she had never seen feather-tailed mousies before. What we had here was the classic stare-down, a master starer and the young apprentice starer. Your guess as to who won. It’s safe to say multiple girls LOVE the mousies, especially the feather-tailed variety.<br />

Back to Tessa, who more than likely was creating havoc elsewhere during all this excitement, came to the party late, and though thoroughly loving the Greenies (<em>“More PLEASE!”</em> she insisted), was not terribly happy that she alone was not allowed to open the Secret Paws gifts.<br />
<br />
And so, she sat off to the side and was grumpy. To which we added, “When isn’t she?”<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div align="center">
Patrol Sergeant Zuzu’s papers.</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
Even though paper was flying and gifts were being sniffed, crunched, batted, and battled over, Patrol Sergeant Zuzu was in patrol sergeant heaven! She liked the Greenie treats and approved of the mousie hoard, but it was the wrapping paper that caught and held her attention. She pulled the beautiful paper bits together into a pile and sat surrounded by it for hours.<br />
<br />
<em>“Papers, please,”</em> she requested with a smug look on her face. How could we refuse to give her what she wanted the most?<br />
<br />
Thank you so much, Ducky and Mom Janet, for participating in Secret Paws and sending us the best, most wonderful things everyone here wished for. Kisses and hugs, squinty eyes and soft purrs to you and Ducky!<br />

Hey everyone! Rolz from <a href="http://www.zeezoey.com/blog" target="_blank">Zee & Zoey's Cat Chronicles</a> here! And Oh My Cat, but do I ever have news to share! It was so weird, but out of absolutely <b>NOWHERE</b> a purr-fectly pawsome box was delivered to me (and apparently the rest of my feline family, but that's not the point) from the <a href="http://jaspermckittencat.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Jasper McKitten-Cats</a>. I have no idea why they would be sending me a box - my human screamed something about a Secret Paws - but I know for a fact none of us cats asked for paws this Christmas, secret or not.
Anyhow, it was one of those dream boxes that I had on my Cat-mas list - you know the kind - the kind that only us cats understand - the kind that sits on the kitchen counter and is just the right size for us to curl up on for a long and comfortable nap.<br />
<br />
I had always wanted one of my very own as clearly all the cat beds, blankets, pillows and more that are all over our house are completely sub par, so you can only imagine my excitement, when just like that one showed up at our door!<br />
<br />
I gotta tell you people, after a few days of us kitties taking turns with it to break it in (including one episode where Peanut threw up on top of it as a result of eating her dinner too fast) it really was simply amazing. It was starting to burst at the seams from the weight of us napping on it and after several days it was so perfectly broken in that I claimed it exclusively for myself and decided not to let anyone else nap on it.<br />

Imagine my shock and horror when one day out of nowhere the human took out a pair of scissors and slit the box open like a heartless monster! That caused such a ruckus that all us kitties came running to see what she was doing to MY box! Out spilled the guts - a mountain of objects wrapped in Christmas paper. I immediately knew it was Christmas paper because I had been a Christmas paper eating connoisseur in years past.

My box just threw up a bunch of stuff wrapped in Christmas paper!</span></td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<br />
After closer inspection there was no denying it! There was cat contraband inside the wrappings! I could smell the catnip from a mile a way and was nearly high just from whiffing the paper! My box soon became a forgotten memory as I decided to let everyone help in opening the gifts!! Toy after toy after toy for us - some with catnip, some with feathers, and we even got a glitter pom-pom ball, which in our house, especially for Kizmet, is the best prize of all! We also got some cat treats to snack on and I must say, all in all, it really was worth it to destroy that old box.<br />

We also now understand what a Secret Paws is - this was the first year we ever participated and we thank Jasper, Josie, Huggy Bear, and Maggie from the McKitten-Cats so, so much for such pawsome and thoughtful gifts! Thank you also to Mom Paula for coordinating the whole event!<br />
