Pawesome Friday greeting wunder furriends

Welcome to another Pet Parade.  This week the fab kitties at:

www.purekitties.com

asked if we'd like to share their cat/hooman years graphic, so of course we said yes, then we saw that Amber and I are in the geriatric section!!! MOL  Ah well, mew can't stop time and at least we're still doing rather well fur old aged cats!

In other news this week, we've raised £150.00 from the Time Travelling Bobble Hat Tour and various donations to give to our fav rescue, Burton Joyce Cat Rescue, so this weekend we'll be sending the monies to them.  Thank mew furry much to all who joined in the fun and to all those who sent donations, we luffs mew loads and wurds cannot fully express our gratitude.   FYI we're taking a break from the TTBH Tour fur the summer and will resume later in the year fur another round of fun.

What have we been doing this week, we hear mew ask?  

Well, Smoochie got rather clingy and needed lot's of hugs.  Fudge thinks he's completely invisible and totally undetectable when he's hiding out under the blanky, except that his tail is so huge that it sticks out and he has no clue at all! MOL  Pandora spent an hour sitting by the patio doors the other evening undecided whether she should stay or whether she should go outside!  And finally when the P.A. was watering the garden the other evening she spied this rather colourful cat-e-pillar, so that's what's been munching on our plants! MOL  Don't wurry, the P.A. left it to do its thing, as it'll either turn in a beautiful flutterfly, or not so purretty moth, or wurse still get eaten by burds...  that's nature though.

Do mew know what kind of cat-e-pillar it is?  As we have no clue at all!

And if mew missed anything during the last week, here's the latest links fur your purrusal!

Suppur Friday greetings pawesome pals

Welcome to the 200th Pet Parade Celebration Party!

Furstly though, last week mew may remember that we asked mew about ticklish back paws, as we shared our rather scientific test with mew, the Back Thumper Tickle Test aka BTTT. 

Well it would seem that aftur analyzing the data that most kitties fall into the following cat-egories:

Not fussed at all on any level 1%

It's ok, mew can tickle the not ticklish paw till wheneffur 4%

DON'T GO THERE EFFUR on pain of death 95%

So there mew have it, 95% of cats will kill mew if mew touch their back thumpers/paws/toots, well mew get the idea!!! MOL MOL

If mew missed anything during the last week, here's the latest links fur your purrusal!

Wordy on Wednesday with Biblio-Kitty Amber #43 featuring Death of a Dapper Snowman (Stormy Day Mystery Book 1) ~ Plus FREE BOOK by Squirt

Welcome To

With Amber ~ The Self-Appointed Biblio-Kitty

Supurr salutations fellow biblio-cats

*waves paw*

Mew know how us cats like comfort, well I was wundering the other day how many of my furriends have multiple snooze spots?

Below is just a small selection of my daily snoozing rounds.

So my question is:

 Are mew a serial snoozer?  i.e.: mew snooze in the same spot offur and offur

or

Are mew a bed hopper?  i.e: mew snooze then move, then snooze again etc...

The B Team kind of wurks in a rotation of snooze spots, until at the end of the week, effurypurdys had a turn in their favourite place.

Oh, and what do mew think to your bed being washed/laundered?  Is it better and mew luffs it or do mew avoid it as it doesn't smell right anymore? 

Because we luffs freshly laundered beds, although we have to keep an eye on Smooch, as mew know his little purroblem can be to piddle on things that don't smell right!!! 

Before I furget we'll be doing Part III of the Widdle Diaries soon, so mew won't want to miss that!! MOL 

*     *      *

Finally, before I get to the main event, Basil asked me to share this. One of his bestest Twitter Buddy's Squirt is giving his book away fur FREE, yes mew heard me, it's totally Free fur the next few days, so don't miss out.

I reviewed this pawesome tail, sorry tale on one of my furry furst posts, click here to see it, mew'll be downloading it faster than mew can say; I'll have a niptini, shaken not stirred! 

 And on that note, I think it's time fur this weeks book, so let get to it...

This week on book reviews with Amber, I'm sharing

Death of a Dapper Snowman 

Stormy Day Mystery Book 1

by

Angela Pepper

Here's a little snippet of the book blurb:

FIRST IN A NEW SERIES: Gift shop owner Stormy Day is settling into her new life until she comes across the body of a neighbor in an unusual hiding spot.

When her own father is implicated in the murder, Stormy must chase down clues and uncover the town's secrets herself.

*     *     *

Woo hoo, cozy mystery here we come!!! This is the furst book in The Stormy Days Mystery series and it's great, I was going to save it till December but I couldn't wait any longer, so we've got snow in June happening! [Not really! MOL] 

There are multiple facets to the plot, with lot's going on and as the book progressed it did slow somewhat but not that it was like wading through treacle.  It's a light-hearted read, a typical rainy Sunday afternoon novel, which fur me in England is purrfect as most Sundays it rains, yep the joys of living in Blighty.

The featured kitty is a Russian Blue called Jeffrey and he does have a nice role within the plot, so kitty action is always a bonus fur me.  So my thoughts on this new series, yes it's a goer, and I will definitely be purrtaking in Book II within the next few weeks - aftur I've cleared my backlog.

• Audio Edition:  7 hours 26 mins
• Kindle Edition: 340 pages

Sadly it's time fur me to say BFN or bye-fur-now as mew know the drill, so many books, so little time and join us when we'll be here on Friday with the 200th Pet Parade.

Happy reading or listening
