Dona Nobis Pacem
Today, November 4th 2017 is the 11th year of the BlogPeace project, started by Mimi Lenox and something that has grown into a world-wide phenomenon. This years theme is Finding Peace in Troubling Times.
These are troubling times, and I find myself happy and content only about half the time... I think the cats are doing their best to bring a grateful peace into my life, and I get a lot of happiness in helping others and so I know there is Love in the World, but wonder if Peace is just a Dream...
Bloggers all around the world are doing the same today...a collective project, making their Peace Globes. Individuals who want peace while the governments all around the world seem to be at opposite ends of the spectrum. I have become very cynical about trying to elect officials that have the common man's interest at heart...they seem so distanced from what is reality.
At the heart of this project is hope and when people from 6 continents and 214 countries & territories also work for peace, how could we not post our Peace Globe today?!
Some of our hopes for the day...
purr loudly...
don't hiss at each other...
breath deeply (especially of catnip)...
and love just as deeply...
(remember kneading = love)

Fashion Friday... #BlogPaws Memories
Here's a video I made of our trip to BlogPaws Pet Blogger Conference in Salt Lake City in 2012! It was Coco and my first trip with just the two of us together where we flew and we had a fabulous time!
And this year, instead of just visiting the Cat Lounge, Coco and I, along with the rest of my cat family, will be part of the Cat Lounge!
Yes! Because of the special relationship I have with my cats and the fact they are very social and enjoy traveling and people and dressing up, we have been invited be a part of the best ever Cat Lounge and our little niche is called 'Enhancing the Cat-Human Bond'!
We will have on display many of our favorite travel essentials, from carriers to strollers as well as things that keep us happy, like foraging feeders! Of course, there will be pet fashions, too!
And while we realize that dressing up isn't every cat's cup of catnip tea, attendees to the conference will be able to meet my cats in person and get to know how dressing up and attending fund-raising pet fashion shows plays a big part in our relationship!
If you have never attended a BlogPaws Pet Blogger and Social Media Conference and wonder what it's all about and want to know more about BlogPaws mission and how they help enhance that Animal-Human bond by what they do year around, this article will get you in-the-know!
Coco and I are proud to be part of 'The Most Fun You Can Have While Learning' by attending and being a part of the 2017 BlogPaws Conference. We hope to see you there!

Fashion Friday, Ocean City Style
Purrenially behind...that's me! Want to know how behind? Well, on April 8th, Coco got to strut the catwalk at the Pet Threadz Rescues Rock the Runway Pet Expo and Fashion Show in Ocean City, Maryland!
And that was almost a month ago! But we had so much fun, that I couldn't just let the memories slip away without sharing the photos with everyone!
Here's Coco, before the fashion show, but still dressed to impress in her Paris inspired ensemble, a Halters by Nikki harness and a lovely beret and sunglasses by Hayley's Hats!
For the fashion show, Coco was dressed in fabulous pink gown with a flowing skirt of feathers, made especially for her by PetThreadz! Since Coco's signature color is pink, she had a pink Spring flowered hat by ZK Hat Couture and I think it went perfectly with the gown!
For a change, Coco was not the only cat amongst the canine models! There were quite a few kitties, some in the fashion show and some just having fun at the Pet Expo!
Our friends Moshi Moshe and Lexi Liu of the blog, Naked and Hungry, came along with us for this fashionable event and here they are strutting their stuff on the cat walk! (Talk about Cat Juggling).
Oh Yes! Coco came home with a trophy, too! Out of all the models who graced the runway, Coco was chosen Best In Show! We were so pleased to be a part of this event, as a portion of the proceeds went to the Worcester County Humane Society in Ocean City.
And before we left Ocean City on Sunday, the weather improved and warmed up and the winds died down! We actually got to stroller around the Boardwalk and thoroughly enjoyed taking pictures, stopping for a donut at The Fractured Prune and attracting much attention!
Now that Coco has experienced Beach Life for the first time, we are so looking forward to our next beachy adventure, attending our 8th #BlogPaws Pet Blogger and Social Media Conference in a couple of weeks in Myrtle Beach South Carolina!
Not only Coco, but also her mother Kely Bray and her two bodyguards, Disco NoFurNo & Brighton, will be traveling to the conference and be part of the Feline Team in the Cat Lounge this year! We will have on hand some of the fashionable wardrobe the cats wear, as well as our favorite feline accessories we recommend. Our niche will be to tell everyone how the Cat-Human Bond is something our personal appearances help foster!

#BlogPaws Wordless Wednesday Blog Hop! The Cat's Out of the Bag!
Only 28 days until the 9th BlogPaws Social Media and Pet Blogging Conference begins!
Visiting the BlogPaws Cat Lounge to see the latest in 'All Things Cat' has been always been one of the highlights of attending the conference for me, and this year, I am very excited to announce that Coco and I and her feline housemates will be a part of 'Team Cat' in the Cat Lounge!
Yes! We will join the Kate Benjamin of Hauspanther fame, and Feline Internet Celebrity, Luna Rose, and Cat Astrologer Ellen Zucker to make the 2017 BlogPaws Cat Lounge the place to see and be seen!
In our little corner of the Cat Lounge, Enhancing the Human-Cat Bond, we will will strut our stuff in the finest of pet fashion, as well as give demos on our clicker training skills, give our personal recommendations on our favorite cat carriers and strollers, grooming supplies and toys, too!
After all, it's all about us cats and how to keep us happy with toys, interactive feeders, comfy beds and fabulous cat furniture! That's what the Cat Lounge is all about! Oh, there will be some human fashion finery, too! Something for everyone!
Other fun activities that will be happening in the Cat Lounge will be a Selfie Station, a DIY Cat-Centric craft table, and comfy couches to relax and recharge before you head off the to next educational session!
If the fact that you will be able to get up close and personal with Coco and her friends isn't enough to get you off that proverbial fence about whether you should register for the 2017 BlogPaws conference, maybe the fact that you can enter a drawing to win ALL the goodies in the Cat Lounge!
As I say, BlogPaws is the most fun you can have while learning and we sure wouldn't want you to miss out on the opportunities that attending a BlogPaws conference brings to you! We hope to see you there! Click on this link to learn more about how you can be part of the BlogPaws experience!
Oh, yes, and since this is a Blog Hop, get to know some of the bloggers who will be attending the conference and start building new friendships now!

Fashion Friday...Hello Kitty Style!
Coco traveled to Richmond Virginia just so she could experience the Hello Kitty Cafe!
We both think it was worth the 3 hour wait in line...got the T-Shirt and the coffee mug...
But then when we wanted to wander around the Mall, we were told by the pseudo-police that in no uncertain terms... the Mall is NOT Pet Friendly!
So we went to Panera for lunch and when leaving the parking lot, just happened to pass by a pet boutique! #FidoParkAvenue and of course, had to pull in and check it out!
I bought a oh-so-soft double fleece T for one of Coco's body guards, Disco NoFurNo and got Coco a new Fabuleash and Kely, she got a cute sweater!
All-in-All, it was a fun day which the uniformed poo-leece didn't but the kibosh on!

Fashion Friday?? Leapin' Leprechauns!
I usually dress in Haute Couture, and am not a Hot Mess! But in the spirit of those who drink green beer and sing silly ditties about leprechauns, I agreed to share these silly photos with the rest of The Tabby Cat Club, as you may also be coerced into wearing something embarrassing today, too!
So here I am, wearing a bow tie as a hat! HaHaMeow! And that curly thing next to me, with the Shamrock on it? It's a WIG!!
Yes, I wear wigs, but this one could be used as a bathroom scrubber--then I'd never have to wear it again! Although...I think that little curl right in the middle of my forehead is kinda cute! But you can tell that even the 'jewelry' that adorned me wasn't enough to make me smile!
And just in case you kitties didn't know... Move over, Saint Patrick! It's St Gertrude's Day, too! She is the patron saint of cats and gardens...something we all love! To learn more about St Gertrude, here's a link http://saintspreserved.com/purr/interesting-links/

Here's hoping all you cats have a day filled with the "Wearin' o' the Green" ...Catnip that is!
