Every year, cat bloggers from around the world participate in a phenomenon called Secret Paws. It's a great tradition that we all love. We each submit our names and answer a few questions, then Mom Paula of the sweetpurrfections blog (which is based in South Carolina, just like me) compiles all of the names and randomly pairs names of kitty blogs who will exchange gifts. I recieved Tim and friends from the Tomcat blog at https://timmytomcat.blogspot.com/ as my gang to get gifts for, they were very kind to share all about it on their latest post: https://timmytomcat.blogspot.com/2019/12/fitzs-catmus-fun-report.html.
The gifts that we recieved were from the gang at Cat Chat with Caren and Cody Boy did they make up an impressive box of goodies. A very nice thing that they did, showed that they pay attention to my Facebook, they included a gift for Pixie, who was just the "foster kitten" when they put their box in the mail, when my initial response was just for me, we both appreciate that.
The first thing I found in this great box were many ribbons and bows that were attached to the packages. Mum had to be a party pooper and steal them all away from me. I have a membership to Ribbon chewers anonymous and she won't let me play with them without supervision, I don't know why, it's not like I've ever swallowed any of them, but she's a worrywort. We took them out of the box and put them under the tree after all that was handled. I found one that she missed, but she quickly ended my fun...
They sent us a whole box of Bisque and Lil' Soups!! We'll be eating dinner like royalty for weeks, how great is that!!! I'm teaching Pixie that this stuff is way better than that pate' food she brought with her from her rescue home. She seems to agree. Mum often makes us share a Bisque packet, but we usually get to have our own soup cup.
Do you remember that song in the Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer show that has the lyric that goes like, "Toys galore, scattered on the floor, there's no room for more..."? Well that was our sitting room after opening gifts on Christmas day. Mum failed to get really good pictures of everything before toys were handed out for playing, but here are a few:
There is a cute chirpy bird on this wand toy.
Pixie is a toy thief and she carried off the little red chirpy bird and took him upstairs, Mum heard her playing with him, but she stops anytime the camera comes out, so we have no photo documentation. We haven't tried on the little handkerchief yet, but I'm not into wearing things, so Pixie will be the guinea pig for that one. Some toys have been saved and put away for the time being, Pixie will hide the ones that she has now, and then Mum will release the mice, so they can get lost under the furniture too.
Mum got a few nice things from Mom Caren and Cody too, something to play, something to read and something to eat. Chocolate covered potato chips are a thing that are from where Caren and Cody are in Michigan, I don't think they make those down here in South Carolina, because the chocolate would melt during most months. She has been munching on them every so often since she opened the box, they came in a nice metal can, which may have a use once the chips are gone.
This year's Secret Paws was so much fun, we can't wait until next year! Thank you so much for all of the great things.
