Thankful Thursday



Kip chows down using his new cat bowl
When I started feeding the cats wet food I didn’t have a proper food bowl, let alone five of them, so I used my fine bone china saucers.  After a little while I decided this would not do and went in search of the perfect cat bowls.  This led me to the fantastically talented Melissa Brown, a ceramic artist who hails from California.  

Look Jimmy, it's a parcel from America!!!

I found a beautiful cat bowl on her Etsy shop; blue for boys, with an adorable bird buddy sitting on the rim.

The design was already cat tested and approved by her beautiful kitty Rudy the Red and is the perfect weight to prevent them from being nosed all over the kitchen floor.

My bowl isn't moving, how about yours? ...nom, nom, nom

I asked Melissa to make five of these bowls for me and also if she could think of a way to personalize them for my fellas.   

Five bowls for five boys!

Melissa creates all of her ceramics with “Only my hands and a few simple tools”, she designed and embellished a different stamp for the centre of each bowl that declares each cat’s initial... C, B, A, J, K!

K is for Kip :-)

Not only are the bowls beautiful and functional but Melissa has made each one a unique piece for my cats and I just love them. 
 
Ben and his new bowl

Thank you so much Melissa!!!!

Kip waits to see if Casper will finish all his dinner

All of us love your beautiful bowls :-)

Hi cats and kittens, we are in a bit of a funk here today because our Drinkwell fountain broke, the motor won't pump the water through anymore.  It was working fine but after the last cleaning it stopped.  We're not talking about the...

- Mancat Monday X 4
The cats don't usually eat together, maybe just one or two at at time. We have a large communal bowl filled with their kibble and they are free to graze throughout the day. Since there is no set "feeding time" they come and go as they please and are...

- Ben's Botheration
Last weekend one of my seven “Cat-facts” for the Versatile Blogger Award was that “Ben is a worrier.” My precious tuxy boy is a little serious sometimes and I can always tell from this sort of "pursed" look he gets on his face that he...
