The first requirement of this blog post is that we answer TEN "BURNING" questions about us! We decided that since this blog is a joint venture, Cody and I would BOTH answer! Here goes!
1) Describe yourself in 7 words:
Cody- cuddly, loving, determined, intelligent, adorable, lazy and fearless.
Mom- ditto, ditto, ditto, ditto, funny, focused and stubborn.
2) What keeps you up at night?
Cody- my never-ending quest for food
Mom-playing "Words With Friends"
3) Who would I like to be?
Cody- "King of the Forrrrrrrrrrrreeeeesssst!!!!"
Mom- the next winner of either Mega Millions or Power Ball
4) What am I wearing now?
Cody- the finest quality silver gray tabby fur
Mom- gray Lions sweatpants, gray and blue Super Bowl sweatshirt from 2006.
5) What scares me?
Cody- the thought of Mom's canned Royal Canin Veterinary Formula canned rabbit running out.
Mom- the way that I look without makeup as I look right now while I am typing this!
6) The best and worst of blogging:
Cody- all of the fun kitties, doggies and their pawrents that I have met!
Mom- best? The people and their pets that I have met along the way both online and in person. Worst? Self-imposed deadlines which translates to pressure that I have created for MYSELF. Bottom line? "WHO CARES?" As far as blogging goes, NONE of us are nearly as important as we think that we are.
7) The last website I visited:
Cody-www.hotcatsforonenight.com
Mom-One Spoiled Cat told ya! I literally came from there, directly here and started typing! It's a MIRACLE!
8) What is the one thing I would change about myself:
Cody- to be ALLERGY-FREE so that I could eat allllll different kinds of food!
Mom- to be less of a control-freak
9) Slankets yes or no?
Cody- What in the hell is a slanket???
Mom- ditto
10) Tell us something about the person who tagged you:
Cody- Sammy is the coolest cat. He is wise beyond his years. He has a really great blog that if you haven't checked it out, you sure should! He says he is "spoiled" but he really isn't, he is just treated the way ALL cats should be treated, as the Gods and Goddesses in furry little suits that we ARE!

| Sammy as a baby, his baby basket and his Mom! (Pam!) |
Mom- Where do I begin? Sammy's Mom (Pam) is an incredibly talented woman. She is a writer (who I will be featuring on February 24th, save the date!), she is an artist, (she sent me the most BEAUTIFUL NOTE CARDS!!) , she is loving, kind, fun, warm and she possesses a quality that makes her a kindred spirit of mine, the quality of never ceasing to think like a child. If you maintain the untainted child-like quality of being able to be excited about things that you see and experience and never lose your ability to imagine, or have a laugh that starts from deep within your belly, then in my opinion, you HAVE IT ALL!!! Pam also has another blog (The Magic Forest Chronicle) that features just those things:
Now....we must tag some other folks....no pressure...seriously none...if you don't want to do this then just pussyfoot on by as if you never have seen this post! (For some of you I KNOW that "pussyfooting on by" isn't a problem! MOL!!)

If we didn't list you here no worries!!!! There are some of you who have jumped through these hoops so many times that the thought of having to do one of these again would make you want to scratch our eyes out if you had to purrticipate, and since we value our eye-sight and our lives, we neglected to mention you.
There are still others that we could mention who we follow and comment on regularly that we KNOW NEVER visit, (we are observant and snide cusses...hehehe) so what would be the point of listing them? MOL!, and still others whose blogs aren't set up for this kind of blog post and we respect that completely.
And...well, if you don't meet any of the above criteria....we're just plain tired of typing right now.
LOL! Concats on being tagged; it was fun to read. Our mom, spoilsport that she is, really hopes no one tags us, she hates doing these. Loves to read them, hates to do them. :-P
ReplyDeleteMaybe now that we're posting and commenting less we'll be ignored...that could be a good thing. LOL.
That was so fun! We love learning more about our pals. :)
ReplyDeleteAnd we agree ... what the heck is a "slanket?"
Hugs!
Caren - you crack me up... Thanks for tagging me...I can't wait to play along. I hope you wont mind if I copy you and reply from both me & alex :)
ReplyDelete@Fuzzy Tales we hate doing them too...poor Pam! She DID totally luck out though...I seriously wasn't going to post anything today (remember I told you via email I am trying to cut down to just 3 or 4 posts per week? Well...I had a vacancy soooo while the time was right I decided to hop in!!) You know I COMPLETELY UNDERSTAND how you feel...and you do visit when you can, as I do with you and I greatly appreciate it!! (and YOU!) xoxo
ReplyDelete@Hilary you are welcome to do whatever you like!! You're the boss!!! I am honored if you copy me! xoxoxo
@meowmeowmans whew!! We are soooooo glad that we aren't the only "slanket knowledge deprived" people out there!! Can you tell that Cody and I are just a tad CRANKY today? So what else is new???? xoxoxo
Hehehehe! You were well tagged! Great answers and quite illuminating!!!
ReplyDeleteThat was fun and yes, lots of typing, we did it once so we know. I really did enjoy your answers though!
ReplyDeleteLOVED reading those Cody about you and mama! Oh, Cody, my starter blog is getting underway..and after mom can get some decent pics of me, it will be revised. But I need a start so soom. Hope I see you then. xoxox Katie
ReplyDeleteFaRADaY: HOT CATS FOR ONE NIGHT!!!! ROFMOL!!!

*giggling uncontrollably!*
Another adorable post from you too.
ReplyDelete@Carolyn lol! Thank you!!! (I think! lol)
ReplyDelete@Linda B awww thank you!
@Ryker lmao!!! The site isn't real! I made it up! MOL!!! I KNEW someone would try and check it out! So glad you liked this!
@Katie OF COURSE YOU WILL SEE ME (and MOM!!!) You know I can't always come by every day but I do my best to come by at least a few times a week!!
@Brian you have done these ZILLIONS of times which is why I didn't mention you! You are ALWAYS doing these! That's cause you are so nice! I'm NOT! MOL!
I just visited Pam and Sam and saw you being tagged and then came here and... don't you love synchronicity?
ReplyDeleteLoved your answers!
@Layla YES!! I do!!! My husband and I ALWAYS are talking about synchronicity! Glad you enjoyed it!! Thanks so much! :)
ReplyDeleteWe enjoyed all the answers from both of you. We didn't know what a slanket was either, so we googled it. It is a big baggy blanket with sleeves! We had a good laugh at the pictures of it.
ReplyDeleteThank you for tagging us. Mum isn't very good at getting these done but we will try and do it next week.
Awww "who put the ape in the apricots" "Courage!" LOL!
ReplyDeleteMe and Charlie love love love this clip!!! Lion and Toto are our favourite characters of the Wizard of Oz!! Yay!!!
CONGRATULATIONS on being tagged!! What a fun tag too!! Thanks for sharing, take care x
What a great blog post. I love all the questions and answers... Fun.
ReplyDeletepawhugs, Max
These are some of our favorite kinds of posts. It's fun to learn a little more about our feline AND human friends. : )
ReplyDeleteWe like your "what scares me" answers. For me, it's a toss up between the doorbell and Glogirly trying to pick me up. For her, it's probably what's just about to happen in whatever scary movie she's watching. Especially if Gloman is there to nudge her unexpectedly.
xo
Katie
I now have a mental image of a Cowardly-Lion sized Cody singing "King of the Forest", lol!
ReplyDeleteMe knows these are a pain to write, but they is so much fun to read! And yous guys has such entertaining answers
ReplyDeleteKisses
Nellie
@Eric and Flynn see how good you are? You googled it, I was too lazy to do so!! lol. You are welcome, but seriously, you don't have to post about it, I don't want you to stress yourself out, believe me, I understand!
ReplyDelete@Glogirly and Katie, ohhhh if Gloman ever nudged me during a scary movie he would get a reflex smack! lol
@Max awww thank you!!!!!! Glad you liked it!
@Old Kitty lmao @you and Charlie! I feel the same! The Lion is my fave too!!!! Your excitement made me smile!! xoxoxo
@CatandTheCoffeeCup you got it! lol
ReplyDelete@Nellie thanks so much!!! lol. You get these A LOT!! xoxoxo
What a great way to get to know more about you!! This was great.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for your kind thoughts and warm purrs. I am back from the Vet, resting, still not eating but doing better. Momma is praying I will eat tomorrow so I don't have to go back to Vet Jail.

@Abby are you pooping???? I left a comment on your other post but I am not sure if you saw that one yet. I am hoping that you start eating precious girl so you don't have to go back to the vet. Thank you for stopping by to visit us! (((((hugs)))))

ReplyDeleteWhat a fun tag! We worry about food too, Cody.
ReplyDeleteGong Xi Fa Cai!
Wishing you a prosperous, auspicious and joyous Year of the Dragon.
Aunty Caren,

@Cat thanks soooooooo much!! We lived without a "slanket" this long, we can live without it longer! MOL!
Well, Miss Caren and Cody Mom and I LOVED your TEN BURNING QUESTION responses!!! Woo Hoo! How way cool that you posted my baby pictures too. Shucks. Guess what? Mom and I had to google "slankets" too because she thought it was a TYPO and was supposed to be "blankets" !!!!! Anyway, it all turned out good huh? Thanks so much for saying all those swell things about my Mom - you're THE BEST!
ReplyDeleteTons of love....
Sammy (and his Mom too)
We caught the hint, we just get so busy reading and reading comments and reading comments on our page and then all of a sudden we oh no we are needed elsewhere. But we are trying have pre-posted posts and have all week to read and comment. We loved learning all about you. Cody hot cats for one night really?!!
ReplyDeleteFun! Loved your answers. :)
ReplyDeleteIs it sad that I want an iPhone just so that I can develop a Words with Friends addiction?
Also, I randomly know what a slanket is because I actually heard about it before I heard about snuggies. :)
Love this post! Pam/Sam also "tagged" my blog (maybe I shouldn't have read your list before I posted mine!). I do like how both you and Cody answered the questions.
ReplyDeleteHope you don't mind: Sundae and I might just do the same thing!
Caren, yes it's real! Check it out. It's safe and cute. :)
ReplyDeleteSame bat-time, same bat-channel!! tee-hee!
Loved this tagging bit! I cn see how it is amusing and can cause chaos too. Way to go Miss caren and Cody!!
ReplyDeleteI always love when you and Cody team up together!! Great responses and thank you for introducing me to another cat blog that I look forward to checking out!! Sammy and Pam sound like a lot of fun!
ReplyDeleteI think that's cool you want to be the King of the Forest, Cody!
ReplyDeleteThat was fun to read and I guess not so fun to do. We hate having to pick other blogs to pass it on to.
ReplyDeleteI have a propasal...next time I will say...
ReplyDeleteMaybe a Slanket is like a Forever Lazy!
ReplyDeleteMy Mommeh won't be seen in public without make up. Ever!
Hey... WE have a Sammy, too! We will have to go check out this new Sammy's blog!
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry... I read this post... honestly... but never noticed Nerissa's Life on the list. Talk about unobservant! Also, I guess I didn't really realize what it was all about... still blaming the newbie thing. So, now that you've brought it to my attention (and thank you for that... truly), I will do something about it. Promise! Gotta get more on the ball here. And by the way... what is a slanket? slanky? Oh, just what it is? Please tell.
