Blogblast for Peace 2009 and Thursday 13: Edition Two

We are peace loving cats. We're proud and happy to participate in
Mimi Lennox's 2009 Blogblast for Peace.
Since the 2009 Blogblast for peace happens to be on a Thursday, We are going to list thirteen of our favorite anti-war songs. We think this list dovetails nicely with the blogblast for peace. (pun intended!) So here is our list:
1) Peace Train by Cat Stephens


2) Give Peace a Chance by John Lennon & Yoko Ono

3) Peace, Love and Understanding by Elvis Costello

4) Get Together by The Youngbloods

5) Blowin' in the Wind by Bob Dylan

6) Imagine by John Lennon

7) Eve of Destruction by Barry McGuire

8) Universal Soldier by Donovan

9) Woodstock by Joni Mitchell

10) Ohio by Neil Young

11) What's Going On? by Marvin Gaye

12) Doctor My Eyes by Jackson Browne

13) The Times They Are a Changin' by Bob Dylan

We hope to live in a peaceable world someday. Peace, love, and purrs! Busby and Raymond

(Mini) Mancat Monday


Hi, it's Raymond. Check me out. I was a rough and tumble kitten boy.


Am I a mini-mancat or what? Look at the size of those paws!


Happy Mancat Monday everyone!

Dia De Los Muertos Gatos

Hello! Busby here. Today is Dia De Los Muertos. In English, that means the Day of the Dead. Today we honor and celebrate loved ones who have gone before. For Raymond and I, that means our older sister Toot Suite and our brother Alex. Our Mom bought this tile for them.


We have a Dia De Los Muertos alter that we maintain in our house year round.


It has mementos and photos of our loved ones who have gone before, plus other people who were important to us. (like Elvis, Keith Haring, Walter Peyton and John Lennon!)


We also got this cool quilt square of Our Lady of Guadalupe that hangs over our alter.

For Dia De Los Muertos, it's traditional to decorate your alter with candy skulls and marigolds.










We also leave a little catnip on the alter for Toot and Alex!


Happy Dia De Los Muertos everyone!

Happy Halloween!


Hello, Busby here. Do I look like Hello Kitty? A few years ago, a cat we know named Rocky Ann came up with the idea of sending a Hello Kitty costume all around the world so cats could have their photos taken in it. I had my photo taken in the Hello Kitty costume.



Raymond was more interested in mauling and drooling all over Hello Kitty.Ray is just not a big Hello Kitty fan! (or he loves her too much, I am not sure which.) Happy Halloween everyone!



And remember, the goblins will getcha if you don't watch out!
