Friday facts and fill ins

I'm gonna get a bell for Dad to wear

that way I won't have to waste energy going around looking for him

Be sure to pop in tomorrow if you have time....there could be dancing or possibly twerking
just sayin'

Speaking of end of year things....
You all probably know my peeps walk early in the morning 5 days a week at the local mall.
When the weather is good, they walk outside all around the mall and the nearby trails.
As the walk they are always on the look out for coins.  They have a jar where they
save the coins found in a year.  At the end of the year, they take it to the coin counter at our bank.  Last January 8th mom found $11.00 in an empty parking deck.  Needless to say she did a happy dance.  Last week took the jar to the bank.  Including the $11.00
they had a total of $51.46 that they found in 2016.
Walking will make you healthier and wealthier!!

Thoroughly Poetic Thursday and a Cat Tale

Thoroughly Poetic Thursday with Angel Sammy

ONE SPOILED CAT 

This will be a poem to tell you how we came to blog

Today's post is brought to you by the letter

D

D O G S

by Madi(son) D. Cat

I am a cat that is a fact.

BUTTTTTTTT

I started my blog because of Dogs

MOL MOL I hear you cool cats yeowling

Madi take a pill for sure you are ill.

It is true one day on a whim 

I took a swim

Into the deep dark waters of the internets I dove.

Lo and behold as I lurked about

I saw D O G S living, loving and thriving here.

To myself I thought could this be 

another world here for me?

I stuck my nose into a few places that K9's graced. 

 There I found two friends (Daily Dose of Jack and Dog Daze)

They were ready and willing to lend me their pawz.

Come June 2017 it will be year  EIGHT (8)!!

It is all because I found 

DOGS and they were GREAT

Soon I learned CATS lived here too and 

my oh my it was time to 

CELEBRATE!!

Now for a little video

Everybuddy who knows me knows all about my love of anything with catnip; 

however, my favorite non nip toy is the clear plastic ring that is often

found around the neck of vitamins or mouthwash bottles.

Also these clear rings are the only things I regularly tote!!

You know divas don't tote they have toting staff!!

If you turn up your volume, you can here it as it crinkles

We call this video

"Clearly Madi's favorite toy"

WORDLESS WEDNESDAY

For your listening pleasure, may we suggest you turn up your volume?

Thank you

I HAVE A POWERFUL PURR!!

Tuesday Tale of Trash and trees

Dad and TOGM started a new tradition this year!!  

I hear it is catching on like wildfire around the 'hood.  

It is called a lazy rednecks Christmas Chair...yes Chair not Tree

Yep this is where our tree should have been, but Dad and TOGM never got the

tree out of the box, Dad was a tad under the weather in early December by the time

he was chipper again it was 7 days before Christmas.  So mom

put the Christmas blankie over the chair and then all the packages in the chair.

After all the pressies were unwrapped, TOGM grabbed the blankie off the Christmas Chair

folded it up.  Quickest ever getting the 'tree' down!!

That is how a lazy redneck decorates!!

Mayoral Inauguration

Ohhhhhhhhh was I pleased as punch when Mayor Elect Arty invited me to say a few

words today.  One thing about Southern gals you all may (or may not) know is we are never, ever, no never at a loss for words.  It has been said we could talk the ears off a corn stalk!!

Mayor Arty asked me to speak about being Mayor and a citizen of Blogville.

Mayor Arty you are following in the pawprints 3 fine men mayors Frankie, Murphy and Stanley

and moi, Madi, the first feline and first female mayor.  Congratulations on being elected mayor of this fine community we lovingly call Blogville.  If I was only allowed one word to describe  being a citizen of Blogville, it would be "ACCEPTED"!! 

That is what my little Feline Heart felt when I took office.
Speaking of females Mayor Arty you have one fine one by your side in
Mabel and I hear she is a huggy puggy too!!

I was a feline walking in K9 pawprints and everyone accepted me.

Even though I shop on the dark side of Petsmart.

BUTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT  thankfully I can use more words.

In closing, I would like to use each letter of Mayor to describe the office.

Many hats

Awesome job

You will cherish every moment

Outreach to community creating fun and gaiety

Responsibility 

Mayor Arty, good luck, have fun, and holler if you need me to help.  I'm here fur you good buddy.

Hugs Madi(son) D. Cat, 

Feline Female Mayor Emeritus,

Director of F.L.U.F.F  and Dispatcher 2017 Mayoral Cabinet.
