Madi: Part I:Receiving the Christmas Gift

Oh boy is Madi excited. A few weeks ago we signed up to participate in
Jazzi's Gift Exchange. Jazzi and her Mom put the participants names in a hat, Jazzi
drew one name at a time and her Mom assigned each of us a furiend
The only rules were

1) be sure to mail our furiend's gift by December 15,
2) once we rec'd our gift we were to post all about it and show what we got.

Thank you Jazzi and Mom for hosting such a wonderful event!!!!!

Madi's name was assigned to Bambi and Happy and their Mom Fern, Animal lover, quilt lover.
Since this was my first time ever receiving a present in the mail...Mom took so many pictures
so decided to make it a 2 part event.

Today is all about 'Receiving the Gift'!!!
Below is the picture of my very first present addressed and mailed to me

Mom and Dad got home late the night my package arrived so they placed it under the
tree for me to sniff all day on Friday.


Finally Friday night Mom got out the scissors to open the box.

Inside the mailing box was this very pretty kitty card


and a very nice note from Bambi, Happy and Fern.

Thank you for all the special touches you added to my gift.

Then Mom found another BOX wrapped up in very pretty
kitty Christmas paper!!! Oh my Fern, Bambi and Happy
know how to make a Diva kitty happy. I sniffed
and sniffed and oh was I happy (Happy no pun intended MOL)


Then Mom asked me to move away from the package so she could get a very nice picture
of the present before we 'tore' into it. I was a little worried about tearing into it for fear I'd
break or ruin it but Mom explained it was just a figure of speech. Ok I didn't understand that
either but I just said 'WHATEVER' Mom get on with the show.

Don't blame me for not showing you what was inside the package right this minute.

You can talk to THE MOM about that decision. She says we'll keep you all

in suspense because anticipation is part of the fun.

I can tell you this it is ONE FANTASTIC KITTY GIFT.
Part 2 the unwrapping will be posted late afternoon on December 14.
Respectfully submitted;
Madi the Happy Diva Cat and Mom the Queen of Suspense

Madi: A tale of one tail

Madi has a very long tail, it is quite expressive and she delights
in using it. Sometimes she gets it in very awkward positions.
This looks like it should hurt.



Tootles,
Madi

Madi's Nose Knows

Tuesday night was our annual heat pump inspection.
Below are the receipts the service man (aka intruder to Madi's domain) left.
Evidently they had a very 'interesting' smell on them.
Madi was giving them sniff test from the counter. They fell to the floor
she continued to thoroughly inspect them ......then

she either decided they smell so good she wanted to absorb the odor
or either she wanted to save them for later. Whatever her
reason she ended up sitting directly on top of them.

I've been fortunate enough to be owned by 2 cats for a total of 21 years thus far. I
still can't explain 95% of what cats think or why they do the things the do.
I'm just tickled for the opportunity to enjoy them.
I'm pretty sure their noses control their brains.
Thanks Madi for making me smile and doing things to make me think.
Mom
