Secret Paws at Summer's House!

Many of you might have seen me post about our Secret Paws gifts at my blog last week.

Yep, our Secret Paws were Truffle, Brulee, and their human, who does all the hard work matching up everybody for Secret Paws!

We got a lot of really awesome presents!

My human got some nice gifts too. She attends a writers group once a month, so that journal will come in really handy! (The peppermint bark needs no excuse to get used, if you know what I mean!)

The pillow contains valerian which gets you really high (if you are a kitty). You can tell Binga is high because she is grooming her feet. I don't know why, but it's something she does when she is high. At least it's better than when she gets whappy.

My human wasn't sure if I was going to like the SmartyKat Twirly Top. I wondered at first too!

This is how I wound up playing with it! Okay, maybe I was being a little silly, but it was fun.

We had to take the running birdie from Petlinks into the kitchen because it kept getting caught in the grooves of the plank floor in the living room. Boodie enjoyed whapping it.

We all loved (like really, really loved) the treats! My human couldn't even get a photo of me with the Vital Cat treats because I wouldn't sit still for them! And of course I love freeze dried chicken too, so the Grandma Lucy's treats were a big hit. You can tell in this photo because my human made the mistake of leaving them on the living room floor when she went downstairs for minute. When she came back up, this is the condition the bag was in!

Thank you so much, Truffle, Brulee and Paula - for the Secret Paws, and for everything you do for the Cat Blogosphere!

Our Secret Paws

We were so excited to open our Secret Paws presents!  They were sent by our pals Angel, Kirby and Max from A Wizard and an Angel!  We were especially excited to open our presents because this was Noelle's first Christmas and we knew she would be super surprised!

We weren't disappointed!  We got all kinds of pawsome nip toys, valerian toys, sparkle balls, a twinkle ball and TREATS!  We even got a cool book of Cat's Letters to Santa AND a super nightshirt for our Mom!

Here's a short video of us opening our gifts!

              

Thank you Angel, Kirby, Max and Mom Nancy....we loved everything and Mom LOVES her nightshirt!   You helped make our Christmas special!

Secret Santa Paws Came to Town!

Today we the Four-Legged Furballs are going to share with you just how marvelous our Secret Paws made our Christmas. And who is this Secret Santa Paws that made our Christmas so marvelous? Well, it was Marvelous, of course!

Marvelous and his crew picked out some purrfectly fun and festive goodies for us. The kitties knew there was goodness to be had in that big box right away.

There were so many gifts to be unwrapped, and so many kitties eagerly awaiting said gift unwrapping! So, we got to it. And what we found were gifts aplenty, all fun and festive and so very much appreciated.

Isn't that little guy just so cute? Thimble especially loves this little guy. He's already been rescued from the land beneath the couch roughly a thousand times (that is, after all, where most of Thimble's victims end up). But he's totally worth it, he's so stinking cute!

The goodies just kept coming, too.

Those there jingly balls are some of our housemate Toby's favorite kinds of toys. He loves to scatter them all over the house!

 

Look how cute this little polar bear pillow toy is! This here human almost snatched this one up for herself, to add to her festive decor, but decided to let the kitties keep it after all.

Thimble thinks it's adorable, too!

You can't go wrong with mousies! These guys are festive, too, not to mention so very fun to slap around.

You know what else we got?

Festive Temptations treats! We recently learned just how much mancat Evan loves these. He loves them so much, he'll knock them to the floor and help himself to the spillage.

Yummy!

Next we found some crinkly toys!

And what else?

A festive wand toy! Thimble couldn't even wait for this here mom of hers to remove it from the packaging before she decided to have her way with it.

Everything we'd opened at this point was so purrfect, and we could not have asked for anything more. But, more there was!

The kitties had one more gift to open. It was big, and we couldn't have imagined what else a kitty could need with all the goodies we'd already opened. Then we opened it up, and all of us were so excited at what we found (this here human included!).

It's a log cabin scratcher! We wasted no time in getting that box opened up. This human managed to use her opposable thumbs to get it assembled, with a little help from Management, of course.

When we had it all put together, the new residents immediately started to move in. Not surprising, given the prime real estate that it is.

Recognize that one there? It was our Sunday Selfie shot this week!

And do you know what else magnificent Marvelous sent our way? Goodies for pup Astrid!

Isn't this bear pup toy just so cute? All of us here, of course including Astrid, sure think so! And she even got some yummy treats.

Look at those festive canine candy canes! We wish we had pictures of Astrid with her gifts, but we opened these goodies early in the morning, and Astrid is not a morning dog. She was still sleeping during this festive fun, the lazy pup. But, rest assured, she loves her gifts from Marvelous!

And this human here got some delicious goodies, too!
 

You sure can't go wrong with chocolate! Especially dark chocolate, which just so happens to be this human's favorite.

Oh, and we have to show you the adorable card Marvelous and his Mom Barb sent us, too.

Snowmen are a festive favorite around here, and foxes are one of this human's favorite animals (along with kitties and pups, of course!), so this purrfect card made us smile big time! It is of course now hanging with the other beautiful Christmas cards we've received from our friends.

This here human tried to get a shot of all of the goodies we received, to show you all a review of everything marvelous Marvelous sent our way. But, the kitties kept stealing their toys away and the group shot of the goodies was therefore a fail. Regardless, we cannot even express how much we love and appreciate every single thing Marvelous sent our way.

Marvelous, thank you a gazillion times over for making our Christmas so marvelously fun and festive! We could not have asked for a more purrfect Secret Paws!

Our Secret Paws Came All The Way From The Magical Land of OZ!

Hello and happy Friday!

Here's our Secret Paws reveal and furstly we have to say a huge thank mew to:

So our Secret Paws came all the way from the magical land of OZ, dad thought it was epic as he comes from the same magical land! 

So we bet mew can't wait to see what we got right?

We must apologise fur the wrapping, as the P.A. was taking effurything out of the packet we got a little carried away and tried to open them - OOPS!

But furst we need to say thank mew so much fur the gorgeous card!

Just look at these cool toys, so fabulous and so exciting, Amber wouldn't even move so the P.A. could take a propurr pic of the feather boa toy, she just got snuggled in it and curled up! MOL

 As mew can see we had great fun!

Fudge really loved the mousie and it has a little pull cord, it vibrates, mew should have seen him, he thought it was epic!  And the purple, blue and red feather ball promptly vanished, we think Parsley is the culprit as we can't find him or the toy right now MOL!

And I got furst dibs on the treats, how epic is that?
