Buttercup loves the snow and playing outside even at only three months old. She’s a bit annoyed with her new collar because it has a bell on it, and she never knows where the sound is coming from.

Beautiful Buttercup! Shaddo was annoyed when he was a baby and I put a bright pink collar with a bell on it. Bad mommy me for putting a girl color on a boy!
An early pounce story for the Princess Buttercup and all my TDK family!
Where Dogs & Cats Come From?
Adam and Eve said, “Lord, when we were in the garden, you walked with us every day. Now we do not see you any more. We are lonesome here, and it is difficult for us to remember how much you love us.”
And God said, “No problem! I will create a companion for you that will be with you and who will be a reflection of my love for you, so that you will love me even when you cannot see me. Regardless of how selfish or childish or unlovable you may be, this new companion will accept you as you are and will love you as I do, in spite of yourselves.”
And God created a new animal to be a companion for Adam and Eve.
And it was a good animal.
And God was pleased.
And the new animal was pleased to be with Adam and Eve and he wagged his tail.
And Adam said, “Lord, I have already named all the animals in the Kingdom and I cannot think of a name for this new animal.”
And God said, “No problem. Because I have created this new animal to be a reflection of my love for you, his name will be a reflection of my own name, and you will call him
DOG.”
And Dog lived with Adam and Eve and was a companion to them and loved them.
And they were comforted.
And God was pleased.
And Dog was content and wagged his tail.
After a while, it came to pass that an angel came to the Lord and said, “Lord, Adam and Eve have become filled with pride. They strut and preenlike peacocks and they believe they are worthy of adoration. Dog has indeed taught them that they are loved, but perhaps too well.”
And God said, “No problem! I will create for them a companion who will be with them and who will see them as they are. The companion will remind them of their limitations, so they will know that they are not always worthy of adoration.”
And God created CAT to be a companion to Adam and Eve.
And Cat would not obey them. And when Adam and Eve gazed into Cat’s eyes, they were reminded that they were not the supreme beings.
And Adam and Eve learned humility.
And they were greatly improved.
And God was pleased.
And Dog was happy.
Wow, a Buttercup in the snow. I never knew a kitty would like to play in the snow. I went thru the collar and bell deal with Petey he had never worn either in his eleven years. I bought the break away type and he got used to it in a few minutes. I bought him a silver woven metalic one with silver sequins I know it isn’t too manly but he looks so cute.
Shaddo and Jiggs used to play in the snow. It was so cute. We would call them bunt cakes when they came in all covered in snow. They’re geezers now and I limit their time outside so now they just look out the window…
Bob’s not liking his little pink collar and bell either - got mad when I had a tag made up and hung that on him too. I love Buttercup - she looks like Bob!
I had an indoor/outdoor kitty growing up in Denmark. She hated the snow. She didn’t have a litterbox and always went outside. When there was snow on the ground outside, we’d go clear a little path for her, so she could go out and do her business.
I was trying to get my backpack out! I have better luck on the weekends nabbing a kitty for my napsack! Have a great day, it is beautiful and the buttercups are coming out………
Always gotta have some ‘nip in the back pack. I dunno about the treats though, my cats hate those. None of them will eat them.

Bob doesn’t like treats either. I tried giving him one a few times, and he spit it out. Yesterday I just threw it in withhis kitty food - he ate everything but the treat.
He doesn’t seem interested in catnip, either. Do the grow to like it? I sprayed the spray on his scratch post - he doesn’t care and scratches the carpet instead! Bad boy - by the way, when he misbehaves, his name is Robert!

Hi Great Dane! I think Bob is just too young to respond to treats and catnip. Usually they don’t respond until they are closer to adulthood. My kittens really liked milky things - I’d make them little cheese balls out of Velveeta, and give them soy milk with a little bit of egg in it.
Now of course, they love their catnip!! In fact, just as they understand the word “treat”, they also understand the word “catnip”. When I ask them, “Do you want some catnip”? they all run into the kitchen, from wherever they are, and converge upon me. I specifically put out the catnip on their scratching posts and cat trees, so they associate that with the catnip. They LOVE it!!
I had a ton of scratching posts in the house when the kittens were little, but they preferred one curtain that I had up in the dining room. They would jump on it and swing from one side of the window to the next. My curtain was destroyed but I got such a kick out of watching these tiny bundles of fur swinging back and forth. They would line up like kids at the slide on a playground.
Oh the things I do for them!

When Gracie was a baby her favorite treat was the squeesy cheese from a can. The vet used to run a line of it on the table for Gracie to eat while she got her shots and exams. For a long time, That and catsip were the only treats she liked and then one day she wanted nothing to do with them and wanted crunchy treats.

Hi Kate,
thanks for your input. I’ll start the treats later and give my boss the treats I have now for his cats. Bob seems to like to try to climb the shower curtain - maybe he’s trying to catch the big fishie on it?
Cute little Buttercup up to her belly in snow. Love the collar and bell. None of my cats will tolerate a collar but then again they are indoor cats and only go out in the backyard with their favorite staff member and escort (me).
The Turtles! 1910 Fruitgum Company! Where are they now? “I can’t see me loven nobody but you..for all my life…when I’m with you, baby the skies’ll be blue…for all my life…”

My mom has a tape of me singing “Up, Up and Away” by 5th Dimension, which was my favorite song when I was 4 years old. She also has a tape of my sister, who was 2 years old at the time, singing “Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star–although she could not quite get the words right–her verson was “Twinkle, twinkle little star, how I wonder how you been.” haha!

Did you submit that one, Huddy’s Mama? Very funny!
In high school, one of my sister’s girlfriends was singing along to The Police’s, “Don’t Stand So Close To Me”. (I had just bought Zenyatta Mondatta with my baby-sitting money and drove my mother insane with my blaring music!) But, she was singing along with her misheard lyrics which were, “Postman so close to me.” HAHA! We teased her about that for years!

When we first met we were listening to “Some Kind of Wonderful” (rock and roll song don’t know the artist) and one part asks “Can I get a witness?” My honey sang, “Can I get a wiskey?” When I corrected him, he just looked at me and said he would rather have the wiskey!

Grand Funk Railroad, baby, doing a cover version of Marvin Gaye. Great song-
When my daughter was 4, the pastor used her musical malapropism in a sermon. Just before church that morning, she walked around while singing a hymn. Thing was, instead of singing “I have decided to follow Jesus” she sang “I’m so excited to follow Jesus”!
“daddy please don’t, it wasn’t his fault, he means so much to me…Daddy please don’t, we’re gonna get married, just you wait and see….” (anyone else remember “Run Joey Run”?)

It’s the name of the community where I live. I’ve told the story before, but since I’ve already been busted once today for re-runs, it won’t hurt to do it again.
Our tiny hamlet was named the first night the town founder and his family spent the night here, by the creek just down the street from where my house is now. The founder’s young son was surprised by the sight of a bobcat on the other side of the creek. The bobcat was equally startled to see the boy, because the boy exclaimed to his parents (in their native German): “Look at that cat spring!” Hence the name of our community (it’s too small to even be called a town!)

Then I’m giving away my age too… Yep, surely do. Indian Lake is a scene you should make with your little one….. LOL
Boy, are you guys taking me back! In 1971 we lived in Great Lakes waiting for kid #1 to be born. I washed dishes to a tune every morning on local top 40 stations. I have spent the past 35 years looking for that silly song. Thanks to youtube I found it yesterday. And it seems to be about a baby bird whose mom gets eaten by a cat (or so the laugh-in style pix indicate). Does anyone remember this song? No one outside of Chicago ever seems to have heard of it!
OMG! chirpy chirpy cheep cheep…that must rank right up there in “get-stuck-in-your-head” tunes… right after, the all time no. 1 evil song… “It’s a small world after all….” if you’ve ever been to Disneyworld, you’ll know what I mean. Although that “ride” to nowhere hell is no longer…

Buttercup loves the snow and playing outside even at only three months old. She’s a bit annoyed with her new collar because it has a bell on it, and she never knows where the sound is coming from.
Why do you build me up, Buttercup? Aren’t you cold? I hope you are an indoor kitty.
Don’t break my heart!
oh so cute i wannna eat her up
I wonder what she sees. Look at her ears! All attention.
She sees a bird but that darn bell keeps ringing!
Hi, Paula. Buttercup is looking at my Tommy no doubt, who looks just like her.
POUNCE! Snow Kitten! my two jus tlike to sit in the window where it is warm and watch the snow come down.
mine hasn’t been outside more than a total 10 minutes the last month and ahalf hates the snow and we have had plenty since the 1st of feb

i posted that joke about 3 weeks agobut it is still funny
and the cat said, “I’m sorry I wasn’t paying attention, what was that you said?”
That is funny and How true How true. We certainly know who the supreme beings are in our house.
Stay warm little Buttercup!
When I hear the word buttercup I always think of the movie The Princess Bride. Princess Kitty!
Hope everyone has a great day today!
As you wish.
That was one of the first movies I had to watch in the new home theater!
Inconcievable!
I do not believe it means what you think it means!
Have fun storming the castle!
I AM the brute squad!
I thought of the Movie “the three amigos”
singing *I’m a little buttercup…* sorry don’t remember the words, but really funny….
Wow, a Buttercup in the snow. I never knew a kitty would like to play in the snow. I went thru the collar and bell deal with Petey he had never worn either in his eleven years. I bought the break away type and he got used to it in a few minutes. I bought him a silver woven metalic one with silver sequins I know it isn’t too manly but he looks so cute.
Shaddo and Jiggs used to play in the snow. It was so cute. We would call them bunt cakes when they came in all covered in snow. They’re geezers now and I limit their time outside so now they just look out the window…
Susan I’ve never seen buttercups in snow but have seen plenty of Jonquils in snow.

I had an indoor/outdoor kitty growing up in Denmark. She hated the snow. She didn’t have a litterbox and always went outside. When there was snow on the ground outside, we’d go clear a little path for her, so she could go out and do her business.
Snow Angel FUZZ!
She probably has cold little paws now.
*puts her in her nice warm backpack*
Knock it off, you.
I’m willing to trade.
Fair enough then.
I was trying to get my backpack out! I have better luck on the weekends nabbing a kitty for my napsack! Have a great day, it is beautiful and the buttercups are coming out………
Oh pretty Buttercup, it’s much too cold for you to be out there.
Come and have a seat in my nice warm backpack.
I’ve got some nice Pounce treats and catnip in mine….
Always gotta have some ‘nip in the back pack. I dunno about the treats though, my cats hate those. None of them will eat them.
