Thankful Thursday

Hi (Furry)furriends🩷

Look what we got…

what a COOL scratcher

Granny…

and there are mousies

hanging in there…

Peachy come…

you have to see this…

I come as quick as I can…

these mousies look a little

strange…

and besides hanging in there

they’re useless…🙈

let me see that…

…you’re right Stippie…

but don’t tell Granny

we’ve said that…

this side is very soft…

wanna try it Peachy…

not yet…

first I want to try

what the polka dot ribbon

…that we made our own

when Granny got the Easterstuff down

from the attic….

thinks about it…

I guess it has been appoved…

now I only have to see

if it’s scratch resistant…

…the couch certainly is…

…not…😹

so we’re very

T H A N K F U L

for the new scratcher

that we hardly use…

…so we keep it in good shape…MOL…

Granny is

T H A N K F U L

that the slugs and snakes

are still very small…

so she can take them up

without gloves…

if they’re bigger they’re to slimy…

…and a little yikes…

and she also still

lives with her motto

…Live and Let Live…

she puts them on the hedges

in the front garden…

where they’re going to be recycled

by the birdies

or other creatures…

and she hopefully

has found a new solution

against the nest of ants

under Apple…

Apple is still very stressed

because of the activity underground

and above…

so Granny will try the nematodes

and hopefully the ants put up their bags

and leave the building soon🙏

Peachy

how about doing our poem now

for our furriends

Teddy and Angel Sammy…

…on this picture…

“We don’t know

who’s plan was this

but going potty together

doesn’t sound like a bliss

as we prefurr our purrivacy

without looking or staring at me

from left to right

and the front side

and where can we hide

when it’s all visible inside

but at least

and that’s for sure

we all can get in

through our own door.”

😸Have a Happy Thursday my furriends😸

🙏Stay Safe Healthy and Yourselfie🙏

    Charlee: “Our Dada looked at that scratcher and said, ‘C-C-C-Catch the wave!’ And then he said something about Max Headroom.”Chaplin: “We have no idea what he’s talking about.”

    Beautiful scratcher!! I bought one for my cats like that a few years ago. Every time they pulled their claws hard on it the thing flipped over on them. lol!! They finally gave up on it. I’m thinking those might be best for kittens. As for ants, I’ve been in feral cat rescue for over 40 years, and ants are always an issue. Especially when feeding outdoor cat colonies. What we do is mix a cup of borax (mule team brand from the grocery store) with a cup of white sugar. Spread it all around your apple tree. The ants will eat the sugar laced with borax and die. They’ll all be gone in 24 hours. I’ve used this recipe for decades for outdoor ants. Much better than chemical ant killer. And it doesn’t harm my plants. Hopefully it will work for you too!!

    I’ll tell you what boys. Mommy said if she only had there to hit the potty she’d hold it till she busted!

    That is a very pretty scratcher and it looks SUPER SOFT! We also really liked your poem for that CRAZY photo this week. Nobody could relax enough in there to “do their business” – humans like privacy while we cats can go anywhere anytime! HAHAHAHA Good job boys!

    Hugs, Teddy

    That scratcher has a lot going on – it’s soft, it’s scratchy, it has hidden mousies… Wow! Granny is very brave to take on the snails, snakes, and even ants. So much caring and kindness. Mom has more squeamishness and fear of things like that.

    Love and licks and happy scratching,

    Cupcake

    Those scratchers are way cool. Granny was smart to put it by the couch to encourage you to use it instead, maybe if you need more encouragement, she could sprinkle a little catnip on it.

    I’m glad the snails and ants are being encouraged to leave and hope they do so.

    As for your poem, you are exactly right!

    You have an Ess Scratcher! They are so good, or so the boys used to tell me. Yuk to the slugs and snails. We use to have two ducks who kept them under control for us.

    That is a good poem. I certainly wouldn’t be using those toilets!

    What a great scratcher. You can scratch and then rest on the other side.
    I do like the little mousies ❤️🤗🤗
