Waffles' Sunday Priorities for a Cat-Happy Life

WAFFLES:  The Boss says I need to get my priorities straight. I didn't think they were crooked, so I got out my measure and made sure they were all just right. I'm really good at math and stuff on account of I keep track of the Boss' food and treat portions.

Here's MY Top 5 Sunday Sororities, I mean Priorities for a Happy Cat Life.

First I catch up on the latest world news. 

Then I snack. Snacks are a VERY important priority and should be repeated throughout the day and night.

Then I take my handsome nap. A mancat can never take too many naps or be too handsome.

I always make sure I take time to smell the –

And then......we SHOP!

The Celebrity Cat Sleeps

Hi everybuddy, Waffles here.

It's hard work being a celebrity conference cat.

Today was packed full of fun stuff. I posed for lots of pictures and mingled with my fans. Don't tell the Boss, but one of my BIGGEST fans is Dr. Anna. (shhhhh, don't tell the Boss...she's a VET!) She even came to my room last night to say hi and play. It was kind of a date on account of she has a crush on me.

Then I took time out for some red dot chasing. ...did you know there's a red dot family living right in my hotel room??? Hopefully I can catch them soon.

After my nap.

Don't worry, there will be lots more conference fun to share...me and my girl are resting up. 

I have to be as handsome as possible tomorrow. You know, for the ladies.

It's a Waffles Mob Scene at BlogPaws

Hi everybuddy, Waffles here.

I'm a CELEBRICAT! I'm a CELEBRICAT! Today the BlogPaws Pawparazzi MOBBED me! There were like a gazillion of them and they all wanted to take my picture and get my pawtograph. 

A handsome mancat always knows how to smile for the pawparazzi... and the ladies.

But THIS lady wasn't impressed with my handsomeness.  Her name is Coco and she's a couture cat. I don't know what that means but it might have something to do with her fancy coat and hat. 

I told Coco she had a nice ride. 

Coco was not impressed.

On the Road with Waffles

 Hi everybuddy, Waffles here.

Glogirly and I are in Lake Las Vegas for the big BlogPaws conference! Yesterday I got to fly on a plane and everything! It was kind of scary, but now that we're at our hotel I'm starting to settle in.

Here's where Glogirly and I will get ready in the morning. She'll put on her mascara while I make sure my furs are all smooth and handsome.

I have my very own floor to ceiling window! It's GIGANTIC! There's a huge palm tree right outside with a goose living in it. He's talking to me here, but I don't know what he's saying on account of I don't talk goose. 

Glogirly's still trying to figure out why there's a goose in my palm tree.

The Bird TV channel is pretty good here too. I wonder if I can invite them in for lunch.

Glogirly didn't get a mint on her pillow, but I got a PICKLE!!!  Tomorrow's a big day, the first official day of the conference, so we're going to bed early. I've got my Waffle Wagon all tuned up and ready to roll!

Special Sunday Edition: Waffles the Therapy Cat's #RecipeForMoments

Hi everyone, Waffles here.

Lots of my friends know that I'm in training to become an official Therapy Cat. Glogirly says she noticed something special about me when I was just a kitten. I know what you're thinking... ALL cats are special and that's true. But Glogirly said there was something more, something bigger.

Maybe it's because I love to play, or maybe it's because I love to cuddle. Maybe it's because I'm not scared of vets and vacuums.

Or maybe it's because I just like people. Even the ones that say they aren't cat-people.




Being a Therapy Cat definitely has its perks. Check out my sweet ride! Some kitties might call it a stroller. But I say strollers are for babies. 

Ladies and Gentlemen, let me introduce you to my Waffle Wagon.

I ride in my Waffle Wagon whenever I go on a therapy visit. It's a purr-fect way to see the world and visit my friends. And it's a real chick magnet.

But being a Therapy Cat is about much more than cool rides and fancy harnesses.

We're a Therapy Team
One of the most important things about becoming a Therapy Cat is understanding what it means to be a Therapy TEAM. That's exactly what me and Glogirly are. We're a team.

Whenever we visit the ladies at the nursing home, I always know that Glogirly is right there by my side. It's kind of scary at first, going outside, riding in cars, and visiting strange places. So many new smells and sounds. But that's why we're a team. Glogirly pays attention to how I'm doing. I give her cues when I'm tired and need a rest, or when I'm curious and ready for more. I'm her A #1 priority. She's my protector and she always keeps me safe.


The Human Cat Bond
Glogirly says my therapy work has created a very special bond between us. I think that means we're like Elmer's Glue...but without the sticky mess.

But do you know what the BEST part of being a Therapy Cat is?




Ok, you might THINK it's the treats. But that's really more of a fringy benefit.




Making People Happy, One Purr at a Time
The best part is making people happy. Everyone at the nursing home is always SO excited to see me. They smile really big, they pet me, they laugh and giggle. And lots of them tell me about a kitty they once had.

One nice lady had an orange cat, just like me, named Butterball. I think it makes her heart happy to remember her cat and share his stories.

There was another lady who'd lost her ability to see or speak. But the staff knew she LOVED cats. Glogirly wheeled me over to her and she was able to touch my fur. She knew I was a cat right away. And even though her eyes couldn't see anymore, they lit up like stars in the sky.

Glogirly said that it must be really hard for some of the residents to leave their homes and their families. Some of them probably had to leave their cat too. That's why it's so important I visit them.

Just the Girlz
All this gushy love talk might make you think that Glogirly plays favorites. But that's not true at all. My sister Katie, the one I call the Boss, may not be cut out for therapy work, but she and Glogirly share a bond like no other. They talk about love, life and catnip. And I swear Katie has her own secret stash of treats. Must be a girl-thing.

Waffles Too: Katie's Reaction

Hi everyone, Katie here.

You may have noticed my absence from the previous day's post. I needed a little time to myself to gather my thoughts. By now the whole blogosphere has heard the News of Waffles Too, the newest *addition* to MY townhouse. Funny...no one bothered to ask ME about taking in this so-called squatter.

I've been seeing a lot of THIS for the past few days. The door to MY room that I rarely use - closed.

I should have known something was up what with all the cleaning and organizing. I was already on high-alert when Glogirly STOLE my extra scratching post and shoved it in the upstairs bedroom. MY bedroom. Ok, one of my bedrooms. Cherished toys I haven't touched in years appeared out of nowhere, neatly placed in the room. Even another litter box. AS IF I'd ever use a box upstairs. My litter room is downstairs, where it should be.

A glimmer of hope shone when she grabbed the PTU and left without me in it. Surely she was throwing it away.

It wasn't to be.

Enter, Waffles Too.

Just look at him, VIOLATING my post.

He's locked up in MY room, playing with MY discarded toys, scratching on MY often ignored scratching post, sleeping in MY never did like that stupid bed and using a litter box UPSTAIRS. The horror of it all.  The only part of this whole thing I approve of is the "locked up" part.

Oh, and did I tell you?  He smells. And keeps mewing the same thing over and over and over and OVER.

He's a maniac. Ill mannered, lacking in basic vocabulary skills, loud mouth, maniac.

TOMORROW: The Door Cracks

A Letter From Waffles

WAFFLES:  Deer Sir...um, I mean Kati– um no... deer Boss,

Sorry I'm kinda nervous. Waffles here.

Um, I regret to reform you that I am turning in my letter of resignature.  Thank you for the popportuniy to serve you Catbucks, help with your blog and be your assist tent. I have excepted a position with the FBI. Wally the Island Police Cat put in a good mew for me and the FBI peoples– I mean cats, cuz it's the Feline Bureau, think I'd be a reely good undercovers cat.

I promiss to be reely careful on my missions. And I promiss I'll come back to visit.  And I promiss when I come, I'll bring your favorite Catbucks.

I found a able suit– I mean a suitable, assist tent to replace me. He reely needs a good job and a nice home. Glogirly said it was ok for him to move in so he'd never have to live in a shelter cage again. Pleez go easy on him while he climbs– I mean learns the ropes.

Um, he's still pretty little and doesn't say much. But he promisses to be a reely good assist tent.

So um, Boss? I guess this is it.

Um, here's your new assist tent. I thought it would be easiest if you just call him Waffles Too.

TOMORROW:   Katie's reaction to Waffles Too

Wednesday Waffles EXCLUSIVE

Hello everyone, I'm Wolf Blitzer and you're in the Situation Room.

Sources indicate Waffles, the mysterious ginger cat seen in and around GLOGIRLY.com, is planning on making an historic announcement sometime tomorrow.

It's not yet known if there will be an official press conference, or even if press will be allowed near the popular cat blog. Blogosphere pundits are busy speculating what the orange mystery cat will say.

CATHY KEISHA:  Yo! This ghetto kitty doesn't spill for no one! Na mean?

WALLY:  As a pawfficer of the law, I am not at liberty to comment on this particular situation.

RUMBLES:  Despite our guerilla tactics, the Waffles Task Force has not received any credible leads to date. I anxiously await tomorrow's announcement. ANXIOUSLY.

ZOEY:  Frankly, I've never understoood the fascination with this...what do you call him?  "Waffles?"  What kind of name is THAT?









WOLF:  Clearly you won't want to miss tomorrow's highly anticipated announcement. Until then, I'm Wolf Blitzer.
