The Wizard of Oz, Cat Edition #CaturdayMovies

WAFFLES:  Hey Boss? Are we off to see the wizard guy?

KATIE:  Only if you can follow the yellow brick road.

WAFFLES:  I don't know where that is. Should we stop and ask for directions?

KATIE:  Can't you just google-map it?

WAFFLES:  Can't you just click your heels?

KATIE:  Waffles, that only works in the movies.

BAGHERRA (right):  Better check for road construction and flying monkey delays or we'll never get there.

Weeeeeeeeee're... ♩

off to see the wizard,

the Wonderful Wizard of CATS.

We hear he is a wiz of a cat, 

if ever a wiz there was.

If ever, oh ever a wiz there was, 

the Wizard of Cats is one because,

Because, because, because, because, BECAUSE!!!!

WAFFLES:  Uh... because what?



P.S.  In case you're wondering where the Scarecrow is... he's off somewhere with Mrs. King. He would have been here, but he's only got half a brain.

Today's Cameo Cat: Bagherra

Handsome Bagheera spent quite a bit of time laying low at the shelter the first few weeks after he was left at PAWS by his owners. But after a while he got used to the new sounds, smells, feline roommates, and people.

When he emerged from his carpeted cubby the shelter volunteers discovered he’s a shy but VERY friendly boy who craves attention, affection and love.
Bagheera has such interesting fur with subtle stripes on his legs and a white undercoat. He is just three years old and would be perfect in a quiet loving home with other cats.

Bagherra is waiting patiently for you at PAWS, Pet Animal Welfare Society in Norwalk, CT.

Yesterday was something very special.

Did you miss it?

Yesterday was National Feral Cat Day. Katie and Waffles had a very important conversation about feral cats, gratitude and helping others. We shared a fundraiser and giveaway that's very special to us.

If you have a few minutes, we'd love to share our story –

Breakfast At Waffles' #CaturdayMovies

WAFFLES:  Hey Boss! Did you know they made a movie about my breakfast?

KATIE:  Waffles, you do know the star of that movie was a GIRL, don't you? A very glamorous girl. Who made big sunglasses and diamonds all the rage.

WAFFLES:  All the what?

SOPHIE: So, where's the breakfast? It was that orange cat, wasn't it? Never trust a cat in sunglasses.

Today's Cameo Cat: Sophie

Sophie is a beautiful tabby girl with pretty orange accents. We think that makes her a "Torbie." Sweet, quiet and friendly, this beautiful girl is eight years old. Her cage card reads, "released by her owners." That just breaks our hearts. 

We can't understand how after eight years, or eight hours for that matter, anyone could surrender their cat to a shelter. Our pets are part of our families. Adoption is for life. We can't imagine what Sophie must have thought happened. 

We are hoping and praying that someone will come along who has room in their forever heart and their forever home for sweet Sophie.

Sophie is waiting patiently for you at PAWS, Pet Animal Welfare Society in Norwalk, CT.

Casablanca Cats #CaturdayMovies

WAFFLES:  Hey Boss, I think this is the beginning of a beautiful–

KATIE:  –case of mancat cooties! What are you doing, Waffles???

WAFFLES:  I'm doing my Humphrey Go-Cart impression. 

KATIE:  *sigh* 

WAFFLES:  Of all the milk joints in the world Boss, you walk into mine. 

KATIE:  You took the words right out of my mouth, Waffles. Oh, and good luck with that lactose intolerance of yours.

WAFFLES:  Lack toes? One, two, three, four... I'm not missing any toes, Boss.

KATIE:  You meet all kinds here.

HALO (left):  Buy me a drink, handsome?

Today's Cameo Cat: Halo
Beautiful tabby Halo has had a hard knock life in her three short years. If you meet her, she’ll tell you all about it. She loves to talk! First there was life with a hoarder. Then there was a very bad flea infestation (don’t worry, her coat is coming back beautifully). Halo’s luck turned from bad to good when she was brought to PAWS.

Halo would love to be your one and only. She doesn't much like other cats... who can blame her considering all she's been through. Some of the cats at PAWS are caged because they really don't like other felines. Beautiful Halo is one of these. And who can blame her considering all she's been through.

When it's her time to come out of the cage, she leaps straight to the top of the cat tree where the fleece pad is soft and the view is nice. She's ready and waiting for you at PAWS, Pet Animal Welfare Society in Norwalk, CT.

An AmeriCAT in Paris #CaturdayMovies

WAFFLES:  Bone Jour, ladies. I'm practicing my French stuff today. 

KATIE:  Waffles, you're touching me. No touching, remember?

WAFFLES:  But Boss, I'm practicing my French stuff. You know, romantic stuff. For the ladies. 

KATIE:  Waffles, I never said you could practice on me. Besides, you do know you're not French, right? 

WAFFLES:  But what about my hat? 

KATIE:  A hat doesn't make you French, Waffles.

WAFFLES:  What about the wine? And the Cheetos?

KATIE:  You mean cheese?

WAFFLES: See? Cheese is romantic, right? 

KATIE:  Waffles, you need to go practice this romantic stuff on someone else. Now say goodbye and leave. 

WAFFLES:  We'll always have Paris, Boss.

KATIE:  Wrong movie, Waffles.

PARIS the Cat: Of all the cat joints in the world, I have to walk into THIS one.  What? Still the wrong movie???

Pssst! Trivia Question
Extra credit if you can name the movie that Waffles and Paris are mixed up over. We're not sure what kind of credit you'll get. But it will be extra! ; )
