Can This Week Get Any Better: I Got a New Bed!

How can I be such a lucky cat? Yesterday I got surprises in the mail and today I got another! There was a knock on the door and this man was standing there talking to momma. He told her that he had a delivery for Mr. Dunkin - I was like ''hey that's me'' - Somebody has sent me a big box to play in! Yay!

I couldn't wait for momma to open the box so I could jump right in and play with it. I mean, a cat always dreams of having the biggest box there is to play with and here it was sent to me.

Momma opened the box and I jumped right in! But wait! There is something in this box! Ooooh, this is really comfy - what could it be? It was covered in plastic - which I love to lick, but momma quickly took it out of the box.

I didn't want to play in the box anymore - I wanted to see what this comfy thing was that I jumped on. Momma put it down on the floor. I ran right over to and began to sniff it. (I like to sniff things) It didn't smell like kibble or treats so I knew it wasn't something for my belly -or was it? I started to walk on to it and wow, it was so comfy, just like it was in the box. I put all my paws on it and soon laid right down. My belly was happy too cause of it being so soft. It was a bed! I got a new bed!

I noticed that there was this ribbon so I began to play with and tug it hard with my teeth. All of a sudden the bed opened up wide and I had tons more room. This was Pawesome! Even my duckies could fit on this bed for a nap with me.

Momma told me that my wonderful friends at @kritterkondo sent this huge bed to me because I won their contest. Momma says I'm one lucky cat. She never wins anything for herself but I get tons of pressies! (momma then said she was lucky the day she adopted me - I think she was just saying that so she could share my bed, but no way!) MOL

My bed has this wonderful pony print - check it out in the pictures. I love the feel of it and I can use either side or pull the ribbon again and make it all sorts or sizes or shape. I like it opened all the way because I tend to take up tons of room when I nap. I'm a stretcher and love to have my paws going in all sorts of direction. This is the purrfect bed for that! Just look at all the room I still have on this bed, even with my big tummy! MOL

I couldn't wait to share the news with all my friends on Twitter - I quickly showed them all the great pics of me being comfy in style.

If you haven't already met Madi & Abi from @kritterkondo - check them out on Twitter or even better, check out their website at http://www.kritterkommunity.com - they have this pawesome outdoor enclosure that allows your cat or small dog to enjoy the outdoors with you safely. My momma said this is purrfect for many that live in apartments like me. Momma also said this would be good for someone like us because we go on road trips and they take me camping with them in the 5th wheel RV but I'm not allowed to go outside because I don't know the camp and it wouldn't be safe but using something like the @KritterKondo - it would be purrfect. (It's on mommas'wish list)

I love my bed. A big thank you to Madi & Abi and their human for making me feel oh so comfy. I also wanted to tell them that I learnt something new too, the bed is light enough for me to drag with my teeth. Momma wakes up some morning and finds the bed in all different areas of the house. MOL She can't figure out how I am doing it, silly human! (it's just our secret, ok)


Time for me to take another nap - I think I sleep more now. MOL

FURMINATOR - I'll Be Back.....(weekly)

As most of you know, I'm a rather ''Fluffy'' cat. Yes, I'm talking about my fur this time and not my weight. I have tons of lovely long fur that momma just loves but only loves when its on ME and not the beds, clothes, rugs, sofa... you get the picture.

Since I was a kitten she has always brushed or combed me, which to be honest I truly enjoy except when she hits my tickle spot. I love the comb so much that momma even went out and bought me a pack of combs for me to play with. She loves it when I hold the comb between my paws and try to rub my neck on it. She says I look cute.

Anyways, momma has been trying to keep up with the daily brushing but sometimes its just not possible. Which explains all the fur that she is finding all around the house. Momma has spent many hours researching products that would be both beneficial to me as a cat and also to her. After much reviews she has decided to try the Furminator
(check it out here http://www.furminator.com/). I bet you are wondering what is a Furminator? I know it kinda sounds Sc-Fi, high tech, even scary if you think of Fumigate but NO, its none of that. Its a deshedding tool. A simple handy light weight Deshedding Tool for your pet. They come in different sizes depending on your pet. It has a stainless steel edge that removes the undercoat and loose hair without cutting your pets fur.

Lets start at the beginning. Momma wanted to get a Furminator, daddy said at first, ''no, he thought it was a bit pricey for something he wasn't sure if it would work'' - so, Momma kept buying other grooming products and still wasn't happy. Momma finally gave in and bought a tool that is similar to the Furminator. She gave that a try and liked the concept of the tool but she didn't find the ''wow'' factor in it. She felt that the blade didn't grip as well as the combs actually did. She stopped using it on me and went back to the comb. Momma finally got a chance to get the Furminator. She was very excited when the box came. I even had a sniff to see if it was for me. It didn't smell like cat treats so I just walked away from the box. The box included 1 cat Furminator deshedding tool, 1 Waterless deshedding shampoo & conditioner (smells good) and a fact info sheet.

Unfortunately, momma didn't have a chance to use the Furminator right when it came because her health has been a bit off this past month and her joints in her hands have been poorly. She kept telling me though that the box was a surprise for me and that she hoped I liked it.

Today was my surprise day. She put the box down on the floor, I had another sniff, still didn't smell any cat treats. She took the tool out of the box and I was like ''Oh, I like the look of that''. Momma said the same thing.

Momma loved the handle and how light it felt in her hand. It was easy for her to grip with her hand. She was very impressed with the De-shedding blade on it. It wasn't like the other type that she tried. It seemed thicker and stronger looking.

She sat down next to me (I was laying on the floor watching her) and she brought this tool towards me. I just watched her for a moment and then it touched my fur! Oooohhh, I was in heaven. She was very gentle at first with me because she wasn't sure how much pressure to put down on it but she soon realized that you don't need much pressure at all - just press the tool down and stroke it in the same direction as the fur. I loved it! I rolled over on my back and started to stretch out for her to keep doing it. I was purring like crazy.

I don't know who was more pleased. Momma or me because I was loving the feeling of it and momma was shocked at the fur that was coming off my body! She kept saying to daddy ''look at this fur''.

This went on for a good 15 minutes and I was just one happy kitty with the feel of this on my fur. I didn't even realize that fur was coming off of me until momma showed me the pile. I was like '' who's that other cat.''

It does remove a lot of fur. Its not cutting my fur off, its just removing the dead undercoat of my fur, you know, what I normally leave around the house for her to clean. Momma was still a bit nervous when using the tool and I wasn't too sure about her doing around my legs. I think I will have to learn to trust her a bit more because I started to say ''OK enough'' when she got a bit close to my bits. I don't have any bits left but what I do have I want to keep. MOL. I don't really care when she uses the comb there too.

When momma was done '' She turned to daddy and said ''Furminator, I'll be Back'' - Daddy laughed but I had no clue what was so funny. I guess you humans have a weird sense of humor.

Both my humans noticed right away just how shiny my fur was and soft I felt. It was a very enjoyable experience for me. I highly recommend it to any cat who has a shedding problem like me. Make your human happy and reduce the amount that they have to clean.


Just think, a weekly deshedding means less of the scary vacuum monster. I really hate when the sucking monster comes out. It's scary but this will help reduce his visits too! Yay!

Few simple tips from Momma:

Make this an enjoyable time for you and your pet.
Find a nice relaxing spot. Let them sniff the tool.
Use it outdoors or on a blanket that you can wash, as there will be tons of fur.
Use the deshedding tool in quick strokes over the fur, going in the same direction as fur growth.
Do not do it hard, there is no need too. Using the tool with force could cause your pet to get scratched by it if they have sensitive skin.
Be very careful around sensitive areas & bits.
You want your cat to enjoy this special time with you.

I was really surprised at just how much Dunkin was liking it. He kept trying to get the Furminator to rub his neck against it.

I am going to do this once a week. I think that will help reduce my fur problem in the house.

Dunkin and I both approve of the Furminator. High Five/Paws to them.

Weekends are made for Dunkin

I just love the weekends for several reasons.

1) Daddy is home all weekend. (even though he has ducknapped my duckie before, I do like it when he is home cause we usually end up going out somewhere plus he gives me tons of attention at home)

2)Saturday is Donut Day. I love it when daddy goes out and gets donuts and bring them home. nom nom, chocolate frosty glazed donuts are my favorite!

3)Pawty time - yup, the anipals had a pawty this weekend and it was a blast. I got to stop by for a few hours during the night to have some catinis and do some dancing and just have some fun.

I took a quick picture while at the pawty - Here it is:

I don't know why everyday can't be weekend days. Humans are so much happier on weekends, I get much more attention on weekend plus I get some yummy treats.

I just love the weekends.

Oh ya, I even had sun this weekend.

Life is good.

Rain Rain Go Away

Today is a new month. I could not wait to say goodbye to June. There are 30 days in June and 25 of them have been rain. I sit in my window everyday cause I love watching the birds and squirrels but mostly because I love the warm feeling of the sun on my fur. Well, that hasn't happened much at all.

I woke up today thinking ok new month we will awake to sunshine and I can lie on my back and let my belly soak up the warmth. Was I ever so wrong! I got up this morning and looked out my window and the Sky has fallen! Big fat clouds surrounding my house and I can't even see up the street. I don't even know if there are birdies on my lawn because I can't see. I'm not a happy kitty now. Look at my view! You can barely see my favorite tree.
Maybe I need to talk to my anipals on twitter and see who can send me some sun my way. I know that it can't be that far away. I just want to be able to go out and play with momma in the yard.

Oh no, wait, didn't momma say she was gonna de-shed me once the sun came out? Something about going out in yard and using her new tool on my fur? Ok, so there has been an advantage to this yucky weather - it has delayed my grooming.

No, I want the sunshine. I want the warmth who cares about the grooming. Please send me some sunshine. I'll be a good kitty, I promise.


See how happy I look when I have sunshine? (yes, that is my happy face) but I was focusing on birdie when momma took it.

Happy July 1st everyone! I'm going to take a nap and dream of sunshine, its probably the only way I'm going to have any. MOL

Few of My Favorite Things

Its been a couple of days since my last post. I guess thats because I've been so busy making new friends on Twitter and the rest of the time napping.

I guess you can call me a spoiled kitty. I don't mind being called that because it's true. I get tons of love and my humans seem to think the world revolves around me. I do give just as much love back to them to let them know how much I appreciate them adopting me and for given me this great house to play in.

It made me think about a few of my favorite things. Some of these I'm going to be empawrassed to say but hey, we are friends, I know you won't make fun of me.

CRATE: I love my crate. My humans brought me home in my crate and they have always left it out for me to go in anytime I wanted. Its my own little pad. I decorated it with a big pillow and blanket that I dragged in when I was a kitten.

BLANKET: Yes, I have a blankie. Actually I have two! A blue one and a purple one. My humans got me a blankie because I was always taken theirs off their bed and dragging it around the house. So now I have my own that I drag around and put it where I want to lay down.

DOG: I'm the only pet in the house but I have my own pet dog. Humans got it for me at Christmas time. He is stuffed (whatever that means) and wags his tail with a bell on it. Don't laugh, he is my friend. He was really much bigger than I when we got him and I used to carry him around in my mouth. He got kinda heavy at times so my mummy human tied a rope to him and now I just drag him everywhere when I want to play with him. He even can fit in my crate with me when I want to take a nap.

CHICKEN: Easter time came and I got a little baby yellow chicken. Not real, I told you that I am the only pet. He made little chirping sounds but I didn't like him when he chirped. I quickly learnt how to break the chirper and now I love him. He doesn't scare me anymore. He is real cute. Fits right in my mouth and I carry him everywhere. He is great to play with too cause he is so light I can throw him in the air and catch him or bat him around on the ground. I almost didn't get him cause human daddy said I had ''way to many toys'' and that I didn't ''need another stuff animal'' but human mommy bought it anyways.

MICE: Ok, I've lost count how many toy mice I have. I know there has to be atleast 50 in this house somewhere. I'm good at hiding things. I was actually banned from buying anymore. The staff person at the petstore said I didn't need anymore, pfft to him, I still got them.

SPRINGS:OMG, these are the best things in the world! I love these plastic springs. They come in great colors and I get so excited playing with them. They are everywhere around the house and they don't hurt humans feet when they step on them, like the mice.

Ok, I could go on and on. I have tons of pingpong balls, I have a stuffed turtle, stuffed bear, stuffed dog bone (it came with my plush bed) Combs! I love combs. I love to carry combs around and then scratch myself with them. It's great! Plus we can't forget my boxes! I love when humans bring home boxes for me.

I also have a leash/lead. It's bright neon green. It's ok. At times I don't mind it and then other times I don't want to wear it. Right now I wear the lead when I go outside. I don't know the area as we are new here. Sometimes they take it off of me.

So, those are a few of my favorite things. I have tons more but these are they ones that I daily love and enjoy.

Oh ya, all time fav: BATHROOM SINK! Shhhh, but don't tell the humans.


PS: was not happy that I was awaken from my nap for a photo shoot. I do not take good pics when surprised like that. (hiss)
