Operation Kitty Lounger Makeover

RECORDED VOICE:  Hello, Special Agent Waffles.

WAFFLES:  Um, hello? Who's there?

RECORDED VOICE:  The secret Kitty Lounger People from Peach Industries are requesting your your services on a very important operation. 

WAFFLES:  Operation? You mean like doctor stuff? 

RECORDED VOICE:  Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to make-over your Peach Industries Kitty Lounger.  

WAFFLES:  Mission? Like secret agent stuff?


RECORDED VOICE:  Recently a box was delivered to the Townhouse. 

WAFFLES:  Um, yeah. We got a box. It's not gonna blow up is it?

RECORDED VOICE:  Remove the content from the box and lay it out flat on the floor.


WAFFLES:  Ok, it's flat. You still didn't tell me if it's gonna blow up though. 


RECORDED VOICE:  You need to take the new kitty lounger cover and place it on top of your existing kitty lounger frame.  

WAFFLES:  Shouldn't I be wearing those fancy SWAT pants? Are you sure it's not gonna blow up? 



RECORDED VOICE:  There are pockets on the corners of the cover. Place them over the corners of the kitty lounger frame.

WAFFLES:  Are you sure I don't need some tools? Or maybe a cool tool belt?


RECORDED VOICE:  The only tools required for this delicate operation are your paws. Make sure all four corners are snug and in place and secure the perimeters.

WAFFLES:  Ok, my perimeters are secure. Wait, what's a perimeter?

RECORDED VOICE:  It's critical you protect the operation from opposing forces. This is a matter of national kitty lounger security.


WAFFLES:  Hey Boss? I think your opposing forces are in my perimeter. 



 KATIE:  You want my opposing forces?


KATIE:  I got your opposing forces. Right HERE.

Say My Name: Heisenkitty


Hi everyone, Katie here.

Today we're indulging Glogirly with an homage to her all-time fave TV show. Virtually the whole world is consumed in anxious anticipation of tonight's series finale of AMC's Breaking Bad. I wouldn't exactly classify Glogirly as a TV-junkie, but no one, and I mean NO ONE, gets between her and the TV set on Sunday nights.

So for those of you that share her addiction..."YEAH B*ITCH, MAGNETS!"

And for those of you that have no idea what we're talking about... maybe it's time you break some bad of your own.


KATIE:  Say my name.

WAFFLES:  Boss, yo!

KATIE:  The name's Heisenkitty. Don't forget it.



Well, THAT'S an understatement.

Photohunt: Global


Um, hi everybuddy. Waffle here.

The Boss put me in charge of the Saturday Photohunt today. How cool it is that the theme is Glow-Ball!!! I bet the Boss didn't even know I HAVE a glow ball.

I got it for Christmas from my big brother, Gabe. It's called a Sphero.  It's this really cool remote-control ball with glowing lights inside of it. Glogirly "drives" it with her iPhone.

She's not a very good driver though on account of she gets it stuck in corners sometimes.


It's fun to catch and roll around with. But even if I grab onto it, Glogirly still holds the controls. 
And sometimes, she makes the Sphero ball...


CHASE ME!

Facebook Faves Friday



Hi everyone, Katie here.

We got such a great response to our Facebook Faves post a couple of weeks ago, we've decided to turn it into a regular feature. After all, we can't have you missing out on quality silliness.

One of the funniest things we shared on Facebook this week was something we didn't even make ourselves... though Glogirly has definitely got Downton Abbey & Photoshop on the brain now! 

I'm looking forward to requiring that Waffles address me as, "Her Ladyship." Just as long as I don't have to wear those overdone dresses and hats.

We hope you enjoy our hand-picked sampling of our most popular GLOGIRLY Facebook Page status updates and photos. And for those of you who are on Facebook but haven't liked us yet... *crickets* ...yeah, we didn't think there was anybody.

Q&A With The Sleepypod Pet Travel Experts


Hi everyone, Katie here.

You will not BELIEVE what the orange one has gotten us into now. Thanks to Waffles and all of his *field trips* ... he's convinced the Sleepypod Pet Carrier people that we're some kind of travel expert team.

TEAM?  Seriously. TEAM???



Surely you all know about my tumultuous relationship with the V-E-T and any sort of travel required to get me there.

Still, I AM an expert on most if not all topics. So I'll cut them some slack on this one.

The Sleepypod people have been following our blog and Waffles' escapades for some time now. They invited us to their own Pet Travel Experts Blog for an exclusive Q&A. It's an adorable blog and I hear they even host an occasional giveaway, when they're not chatting it up with celebrity cats like me.




We're shutting down the comments on our blog today so you have a chance to check out our interview. There's lots of fun photos, interesting factoids and plenty of Waffles being...well, Waffles.

Waffles Wednesday: Fifteen Inches

Um, hi everybuddy. Waffles here.

Did you hear about my fifteen inches??? Everybuddy's talking about it on Facebook. Glogirly says all the girlcats will be beating down my door. The Boss says I'm a freak of nature.

Why all the fuss? I've got an honest-to-goodness, genuine, 15 inch TAIL! Glogirly measured it and everything.

It's almost TWICE as long as the Boss' tail. And I'm pretty sure for every stripe I get extra cool points.



So we googled "significance of a cat's tail length" and look what came up first on the list! It's a Catster Article written by our friend JaneA from Paws and Effect!  She's really smart when it comes to cat stuff.

She wrote that the average tail length for a male cat is 11 inches and for a female it's 9.9 inches. So I'm WAY above average. Four whole inches above average. And like a million inches above the Boss. All this and I'm barely a year old.

Hey! I'm barely a year old? Does that mean I'm having a birthday soon???

Bird Catcher Pro MEGA Giveaway!

Hi everyone Katie here.

Only yesterday you were leaving condolences for my dearly departed feather.  Well the stars have aligned and I can now say with certainty, "there IS a feather-god!"

The wonderful people who make the brand new Bird Catcher Pro Wand Toy heard of my plight and sent me a brand new wand toy and a whole box of extra feathers!

The Bird Catcher Pro looks similar to some of the other feather toys you've probably seen or played with. But the similarities stop there. This glorious feather wand toy is paws down the best we've played with yet!

A Feather Here, A Feather There


Hi everyone, Katie here.

I've had a tough weekend. Jam-packed.

Back-to-back naps, snacks on demand, a feather here, a feather there, everywhere a feather-feather.



At least I USED to have a feather.

You're Getting Sleepy. Very. Sleepy.


Hi everyone, Katie here.

It's Sunday. And while the rest of you are taking it easy the normal way, I'm taking it easy with a little hypnotherapy.

I'm waiting for that magic moment when I wake up and you-know-who is you-know-where.


WAFFLES:  Hey, Boss!  You awake yet?


KATIE:  Stupid stopwatch. I KNEW it wouldn't work.

Photohunt: ROUSING



Hi everyone, Katie here

I guess I should just be grateful that Waffles is the one rousing the Townhouse crowd in that ridiculous outfit. Though I wouldn't mind getting my paws on his pom poms.

NO! Not THOSE pom poms.

Jeez...get your mind out of the gutter.

Waffles Wednesday: PetSmart Field Trip III and Giveaway Winners!

Um hi everybuddy. Waffles here.

Yesterday I got to go on a field trip! Me and Glogirly met up with Spaghetti Bob's human at PetSmart. This is my third field trip and Glogirly said I did really good.

I'm trying out a new kind of harness to see how I like it. It's lighter than my other one and lets more of my furs show so people can admire and pet them. But it looks like a GIRLY harness. I think I need something way more manly, don't you?


Here I am in my cool Sleepypod carrier. Glogirly puts it inside the shopping cart and opens it way up so I can get up and look around whenever I want.


Or I can hunker down when one of those dog things comes by. I'm not so sure about the dog things yet. I mean they have four legs and all, lots of fur. But they look pretty strange.


Mr. Rat from my last field trip must be living in his new forever home. But I met his cousin, Mr. Mouse.  I think he was a little bit scared of me. I was hoping he'd invite me in for lunch.



I don't really know if this is a Mr. Mouse or a Mr. Rat, but he's running like mad. Do you think he knows he's not going anywhere?


I got out of my shopping cart a couple of times, but it's still a little scary. I climbed around on the shelf with the cat toys though. And played hide and seek behind the wand toys and feathers.

Oh, and I was super brave in the car too. I chattered the whole way there while Glogirly sang songs to me. And then I laid down and rested the whole way home. Shopping is hard work!

love,
Waffles
