Meme Catch Up


Jazmin and Cats Eye tagged Moki and Orange Boy for the memoir meme. Here are the rules:

1. Write your own six-word memoir

2. Post on your blog, and add a picture, if you'd like

3. Link to the one who sent it to you

4. Tag at least five (or less!) more blogs

5. Let the tagged blogs know by leaving a comment

Moki's memoir:
Differences are what make us special.

Orange Boy's memoir:
Manly scars come from battling rattlesnakes.

By now, it appears as though everyone has already done this meme, so we are going to leave it open to anyone who has not already done so, but would like to give it a try...

And now for our second meme. Cecil tagged us for the "About Me," meme. Here are the rules:

The rules of the game get posted at the beginning. Each player answers the questions about themselves. At the end of the post,the player than tags 4 or 5 people and post their names, then goes to their blogs and leaves a comment, letting them know that they have been tagged and asking them to read your blog. Let the person who tagged you know when you have posted your answer.

1.What was I doing 10 years ago? - Waiting to be born.

2.What are the 5 things on my to do list for today - Go potty, Take my morning medicine, eat, sleep, play. Add my nightly medicine, and another trip to the bathroom and that about sums things up for any given day...lol

3. Snacks I enjoy - Whisker Lickens, Temptations and Greenies.

4. Things I would do if I were a billionaire - If I where a billionarie, I would start a shelter for special needs kitties like me. The shelter would be staffed with specialists and no kitty would ever be euthanized because they where different.

5. Three of my bad habits - I am too cute to have any bad habits

6. Five places I have lived - In the wild, at a shelter, and at my current home. Sorry guys I am still young.

7. Five jobs I have had - Pin cushion, lab subject, professional napper, taste tester, bed hog.

We would like to tag the following kitties:

Now for the song titles featured in Moki's videos they where: "Imagine," "Groovey Kind of Love" and "Love Is All Around." Many of you came very close, but missed the last one. Congratulations to NinjaCat, you got them all right!

Social Spark

As many of you know, we are always looking for ways to make money to help out with Moki's medical bills. In addition to accepting donations, we try to generate money through paid postings and sponsors. Often times this means visiting numerous sites, and signing up for numerous services, some of which pay you to write postings, and others who claim to find you paid sponsors. Needless to say, logging in and out of various sites looking for opportunities can be very time consuming...

Fortunately, all that is about to change thanks to a service called Social Spark. Social Spark is an all in one kind of community. You can find advertisers willing to pay you to write about their products or services, advertisers willing to sponsor your blog, or find people willing to spread the word about your product or service. Social Spark, a "media marketing and advertising site" is a great place to make a little money on the side, meet new friends, and get the word out about your blog.

Unfortunately, being a new site, there are still a few glitches which need to be worked out. The site can at times be slow to use, and a little hard to follow, but hang in there. Improvements are still being made, and from what we have already seen, the site has lots of potential.

If you are anything like us, and can use a little money on the side, be it to help with veterinarian bills, as in Moki's case, to pay off credit card debit, student loans, or just need a little extra cash, then check out Social Spark, and be sure to visit our profile http://socialspark.com/bloggers/moki, to mark us as one of your many new friends. We can't wait to see you there!

Name That Tune Tuesday

We have recorded three videos of Moki eating treats, while listening to his daddy play the piano. A different song, which we think represents Moki nicely, has been recorded in each video. Can you name the tune(s)?







Stay tuned for the answers tomorrow...

Now in regards to Orange Boy, many of you wondered just how on earth Orange Boy managed to get behind the T.V. like that...


No he didn't squeeze underneath the T.V. LOL...There is actually a big square cut out of the back of the entertainment center, for the electronic cords. Orange Boy likes to crawl behind the entertainment center and jump through the square, which puts him behind the T.V. whenever he wants to be alone. He has been doing this ever since he was a kitten and we first discovered the hiding place after noticing an orange tail hanging down from beneath our T.V. Hehe....

The Raccoon Who Thinks He's A Cat

Many of you expressed concern about our Mr. Coon Guy, so today we thought we'd share a little history on him. Mr. Coon Guy originally showed up at our house about two years ago. He was running with a pretty wild pack, who knocked over our trash cans, dug around in the trash, and tried eating the fish from our back yard pond. Needless to say, we told him he and his friends had to move on.
About a month later he returned. This time by himself. He was very apologetic, and informed us, that if we let him stay, he would never invite any of his friends, knock over our trash cans, eat our fish, or bother our cats. Two years later he is still holding true to his word...

The cats are not aggressive about their food, so they don't mind sharing it with Mr. Coon Guy. Mr. Coon Guy doesn't mind the cats, in fact he thinks he is one of them and often walks right under the outdoor patio furniture they are laying on. Everyone lives in harmony. Now normally cats and raccoons don't mix, but when you have one who thinks he's a cat, he tends to be pretty peaceful...lol. Mr. Coon Guy seems to know that he has it pretty good. He lives under the house during the day, has a nice pond to drink out of at night, and finishes off whatever cat food is left in the bowl we place outside every morning for a feral cat who showed up here about a year ago.

So that's Mr. Coon Guy's story, the raccoon who thinks he's a cat! The cats are now all indoors after Orange Boy's rattlesnake bite, so as long as Mr. Coon Guy continues to live in peace with the feral who is still outside, doesn't eat the fish from our pond, invite any of his friends, or knock over our trash cans, he is welcome to stay.

An Ego Monster Took Over My Blog

Orange Boy: Knock knock
Moki: Who's there
Orange Boy: Orange
Moki: Orange who
Orange Boy: Orange you glad to see my handsome face...

Orange Boy: Hehe...I told momma bean that she had to blog about my handsome face right away, but for some reason, she fell asleep...and I couldn't get these beautiful pictures up of me until this morning...

Orange Boy: Aren't I the most handsome cat! Don't worry the fur will grow back, and the bite will be nothing more than a battle wound. They say scars make mancats look more manly...I bet I'll look really manly with mine. All the girl cats will go wild over me when I tell them I got this scar after battling a rattlesnake. They will be putty in my paws...

Moki: Oh brother, we have created a monster...
