Sunday's Shelter Sweetie: Inky

"Hello there, my name is Inky!

From the moment you meet me, you will notice the beauty mark on my face.
I suppose that dashing little smudge might be where I got my name - you never can tell!"


"You may notice that I'm a bit mature at 13 years, but don't judge me based on my age. I've still got a lot of spunk in me!

I love to be petted and would be a great lap cat companion. In my opinion, the best cats are ones that will just relax with you on a lazy weekend or a calm night after a long day of work or school."


"I'm a great listener, too. You can tell me anything and I'll love you for just talking to me!

I love to curl up on soft blankets and take it easy. I would possibly test out some fun toys with you. So come on in and meet me today.
I'm waiting patiently to meet my forever family and go home!

Purrs,
Inky"

Inky's available at the Merriam Campus of Great Plains SPCA, waiting to meet you today!

The Mystery of the Missing Bird Seed #sponsored

Maxwell: Well, I finally managed to wrest our Vimtag Cloud Camera from Allie's pink claws. Just in time, too.

My BirdTV Channel is having some serious technical issues. 

Maxwell looks intently at the Vimtag camera he hopes will help solve his mystery.
"I'm counting on you, Vimtag."
I'm getting some serious signal interference. The bird seed keeps mysteriously vanishing.

So I'm aiming the Vimtag right at our bird feeder, to catch the culprit!

Vimtag camera, on the job!
My first clue came during the last snow. Check it out: see the muddy paw prints on the glass?
No bird made these, I can tell you that much!


...I think I'll just hang out with the camera for a while and see what we might discover...


What do you think Maxwell found out?
Did he solve his mystery?
Did he finally get his BirdTV signal to clear up?




Sadly, no vishus squirls have consented to be interviewed on the BirdTV channel. *sigh*
But every time the mom goes out to adjust the antenna (*ahem* fill the bird feeder), they are ALWAYS hiding underneath it, eating the dropped seeds!

We'll catch you red-pawed soon, we just know it!

Intruder Alert! #sponsored

When last we left our intrepid felines, they were engaged in a heated debate on who might have the use of the coveted Vimtag camera first:

Allie or Maxwell?

Maxwell: Being a Scholar and a Gentlecat, Allie, I will graciously allow you the use of the camera first.



Faraday: Here, let me translate that for our readers.


Basically Allie threatened to do her patented Crouching Girlcat Hidden Whupa$$™ move on him if he didn't let her have the camera first.

Maxwell: FARADAY! DOOD. *embarrassed look*

Faraday: Well, the truth hurts, sometimes, Maxie. Be a mancat about it and all, okays? (and because we all suffer if she doesn't get her beauty sleep....)

Allie: True. I have not been sleeping lately. Being vigilant for Intruders has had a negative impact on my nap time.  And I might get a teensy bit out of sorts.


Faraday: Seriouslies, you do not want to see Allie's Grouchy Face.

(you were warned...!)


So, what did Allie do with the Vimtag?



It was incredibly easy to identify our surprise guest with our camera. You can turn on motion detection and set the Vimtag to record high definition video footage onto an external microSD card each time it detects motion.

And we got tons of footage. The camera recorded footage ALL.NIGHT.LONG. throughout the evening every time we had a visitor.

Oh, and DOOD.
Seriouslies, you should have called first!
(And, uh, we need to talk to you about your chicken intake. But we digress.)


Allie:  FINALLY. I can rest easy, knowing my Vimtag is on the job.

I've got my eye on you, Waffles.

Thursday's Purrs: Iris

BREAKING MEWS! 
Iris has gone to her forever family! 
*happy dance*

"What's up, peeps?! Iris here, and I am sooooo happy to meet you!

 I am a very charming female silver and white tabby who came here to Wayside from another shelter. Though I have enjoyed all the friends I have made in my travels, I am really ready for a place to call home. Could you be the home I am looking for?"



"I am adorable, playful, loving ... and good with kids! Since I am pretty much the total package, I'd really love it if I was the only animal "apple of your eye."

Yep, I would prefer a home where I am the only cat."

 
"I am also FIV positive, which I know sounds scary, but it simply means that my immune system is a bit suppressed. So just give me all the love, caring and regular vet visits you'd give anyway, and I will live a long and happy life with you.

Another thing: they tested my feline personality, and I ranked top-notch as a Personal Assistant. That means that I am a kitty who will looooove being around my family. I'l be a little shy when meeting new people and being in new situations, and will look to you to show me there is nothing to be afraid of.

I'll be right by your side when you do computer work, house work, or hey ... just plain hanging out with you!

Give me some crinkly balls or a feather wand and I can also entertain myself as well. I would love the chance to show you all my skills in person, so please come on down?

I will just sit here patiently waiting for you to come though that door.

Purrs,
Iris"

Iris is available today at Allie's Alma Mater, Wayside Waifs.

Turtle Surfing

I unnerstand everyone needs a hobby and stuffs...


Going around surfing on kitties may sound totally rad and really edgy for a catnip turtle and all.

Let's just say Maxie's like a green slope, or a bunny hill. But seriouslies...


 You think you're ready for the double black diamond???


Let me remind you that you're taking your life in your own, uh, fins when engaging in such a rigorous sport.


 Just remember to sign the waiver before you go.

Sunday's Shelter Sweetie: Julie

"Hi there, my name's Julie. I came to Great Plains with my sister when my people could no longer care for us and now I'm looking for my purrfect forever home."



"I'm a refined, middle-aged lady which means all that kitten craziness is far, far behind me. Nope, you won't have to worry about the drapes being pulled down with me around. I'm really only interested in spending time with you or lounging in a nice sun puddle, maybe looking out the window.

I'm no spring-kitten at ten years of age, but trust me on this - I have many years of love left to give.

I get along fine with the other kitties here in my room and in my last home, I even lived with a cat-friendly doggie. I also get along with all ages of respectful children.

I'm declawed which means you'll need to make sure I remain an indoor kitty; I have no way to defend myself in the big, scary outside world.

If you're looking for a laid-back, loving companion then won't you come over to meet me soon?
I'll be waiting...
Purrs, Julie"

Julie is available today at the Merriam Campus of Great Plains SPCA.

National Compliment Day #Sunday Selfie

Camera Catfight and Giveaway #sponsored

Faraday: Holy cat, Allie! The neighbor kitty's back!

(cue sounds of mad scrambling)
Allie: Where? Where?!?
Clear the deck! Coming through!  
*careens madly around the corner*

(inarticulate - and unprintable - epithets ensue)

Maxwell: Allie! That's not your inside voice!


And uh, if Momma hears those words, there might be soap in your future.

Allie: Stuff it, Maxie, I'm busy.

Mother!!
I need that Vimtag camera down here, stat!
Round-the-clock monitoring for that - that - interloper!



Maxwell: Wait - uh, Allie, actually... I'm using the Vimtag right now.


Allie: Well Maxie, you can just UN-use it.

Home Land Security takes precedence. And the Land around my Home is OBVIOUSLY not secure if riff raff like this keeps showing up!

Maxwell: Now, listen here, Allie. At the risk of sounding like Faraday, you are not the Boss around here.


So settle down and wait your turn!

Allie: Why you ungrateful little –
*girlcat banshee wail*


Faraday: ... I can't believe I'm the one about to do this ... but here goes.

 PIPE DOWN!


Instead of fighting over it ...
(and by the way, next time warn me so's I can go get some popcorn an' stuffs, okay?)
Why don't you just grab Mommy's plastic card and order a second Vimtag?

You can have more than one of them connected to your iPawd, yanno.

***
Why does Maxwell desperately need the camera?
Whose smacky-paw will win out?

Did we really just see Faraday intervene in a cat fight?

Perhaps the most important question of all ...

Would you like a Vimtag Camera?
