Thankful Thursday

 I want to first give all my thanks and gratitude too all my great friends who helped with Cat-O-Lympics! ::Blows Kisses With Paws:: It was really fun for us and I hope for all of you.

Guess what? Tomorrow is my 400th post!

We realized that next weekend is the real Academy Awards and realized it's too soon to get it together for the Acatemy Awards, so I think we will do it the week after. It will be a No Rule activity with no winners or losers, just a celebration of anything movie related. So write a screenplay, make a movie, make a movie poster, anything you can think of and post it during that week... more details to follow.

So the other night I was napping on my bed while Mom slept, when suddenly I heard her talking to me...

"Hey sweetie, wanna snuggle? Come here, I'll give you scritches..."

I was just considering the offer, when I noticed she wasn't really speaking to me at all. She's been bringing a square tissue box to bed with her, cause of her cold, and I guess to a sleepy, nearly-blind human, a tissue box with the tissue tamped down in the middle resembles a cat body with ears.

"Finny come on!" She begged.

Kleenex Cat remained unimpressed, and refused to submit. I could hardly keep from snickering out loud as Mom went back to sleep, rebuffed. So last night, when it happened again, I couldn't help myself.

"Hey Finny, are you here for pets? Come here."

"Mew?" I said in my sweetest, you wanna touch my soft fur voice as I hid behind the pillow. "Mew (come and get it then)" I offered.

She reached out, way out, to try to pet Kleenex Cat. I was laughing so hard by now that she spotted me behind the pillow. You should have seen the double-take she did. We had a good laugh over the whole thing and I got my chin scritches after all.

  15. Haha! Fin...your mom needs to wear her glasses!! Otherwise she's gonna be petting a kleenex box! We hope she's feeling better.

    Thanks again for organizing the Cat-O-Lympics! And we'll see what we can do to celebrate the Oscars. We love making movies!

  16. hey Fin,
    How devilishly clever of you to trick your mom like that; BOL! (or MOL in your case) Doesn't say a lot for your figure, or your mom's eyesight, if you look like a Kleenex box with tissue tuffed ears. Ha-ha-ha-ha-he. You must crack yourself up.
    OBTW: We loved the Cat-O-Lympics and thank you and all of your helpers for pulling it off so well.

    And we are very glad your Mom confused the Kleenex Box with you, and not the other way around. ;-)

  18. Poor Mom. I think those Nightime Cold Medicines were causing her to hallucinate!

  19. Thanks so much to you Fin for hosting the Olympic games. They were great fun. Our human probably isn't up for any academy awards. She is not a big movie goer and we don't have a video camera, so we will just enjoy all the entries.

  22. Heehee... sick moms get pretty muddle-headed! I have come down with a bad cold too, so feeling about like your mom.

  23. That was a funny human story, Fin! They can be trouble sometimes, but they do have their entertaining moments.

    The aCatemy Awards sounds like lots of fun. My human is wasting her time doing tax stuff this week, but I hope I can make her squeeze in something fun.
