Secret Paws Rocked Christmas for this Gray Tabby Cat! Thankful Thursday

Hi and Happy Day After Christmas all!

Hoping that those of  you that celebrate Christmas got everything that you wanted and if you didn't......just file a complaint with Santa...MOL!! As you know it isn't all about the gifts anyway...yeah right....well TODAY it is! Today I want to tell you all about Secret Paws!



For those of you kitties living under a rock, blanket, basket, box, you get the picture, Secret Paws is a super fun gift exchange event that was created (and organized!) by "Mom Paula" of the adorable blog, Sweet Purrfections.

Kitties who would like to pawticipate are paired with other kitties and they have their humans send in answers to these instructions courtesy of Secret Paws:

  1. Name of kitties.  Please specify name and number. 

  2. Email address 

  3. Name of Cat Blog 

  4. Link to Blog 

  5. Complete Mailing address 

  6. Would you be willing to exchange with a kitty from another country?  (Remember postage is higher when shipping internationally)

  7. Favorite Color 

  8. Favorite Treat 

  9. Favorite Toy 

  10. Information on items that should be avoided (specific flavors, toys, treats, etc.)

  11. Anything else you would like your Secret Paw to know about you.

There is also a suggested dollar limit involved as well.

This was my second year pawticipating and I had a blast!

Look at the incredible presents that I received!

MY SECRET PAWS BOX!!!!
Mom and I nearly fell over in shock
 when we saw all of this super cool stuff!

LOOK AT EVERYTHING
THAT I GOT!!

CATNIP FOR ME!
FURRY MICE!
A LIGHT UP BALL!!
A CATNIP TOY
A CATNIP 'NANNER
MY FAVORITE
BOUNCY SPRINGS!


THERE WAS EVEN STUFF FOR MOM!
Peppermint hand/body lotion
was in a cute little
snowman bag
and  there was
CHOCOLATE!!


As Mom thought I would do,
I went straight for the
red furry mouse first!!
Mom took a photo of me 
in action so that is
why it is blurry





MOM AND I WERE EXTREMELY TOUCHED
BY THE GENEROSITY OF MY SECRET PAWS!
GUESS WHO THEY ARE?

THE MEEZERS!
Mom and I 
were super embarrassed at first
because we didn't know who 
they were
but Mom Paula
sent us the link to their blog
and now we are following them!
Their blog is:
MEEZER TAILS
Mom and I were blown away
by their thoughtfulness
and generosity
we are hoping they had
a CATABULOUS Christmas!

If you are on the fence about pawticipating in Secret Paws you should really give it a go!
 I think the nicest part for Mom and I was finding new furiends to follow! Ok, ok, that is one reason, the other being that  I LOVE my super cool prezzies too!!!! 

THANK YOU AGAIN MY NEW FURIENDS!!! You made one gray tabby cat and his Mom extra happy!

Love, Cody and Caren

  11. What a cool Secret Paws package! We LOVE The Meezers! If it weren't for them, we never would have been blogging. The mom stumbled upon their blog and read it every day for more than a year before she thought she could blog too. And the first time they left a comment for us, we were so excited! It was like being visited by a big rock star, or something.
