WCB: Be Good To Your Mom!

Hey, I'm hosting Weekend Cat Blogging this weekend. So, please join us here by leaving a WCB link to your blog in the comments section of this post. Oh, and please link our blog to your post, because we love that! Also, you might want to check out the party at Friday Ark.  I'm posting early because this weekend is Mother's Day.  Remember to be good to your mom. She's the one who cleans your litter pan, gives you treats, and combs your fur.  Your dad does that too, and he will have his own special day in a few months.  But right now it's about your mom.  I ordered my Mom a special cheese selection from a place called Cowgirl Creamery. Mom is nutty about it.  Cheese is her trigger food. Don't really know what the heck that means, but she gets passionate about a good chunk of cheese, I must say. 

She ate this entire cheese, called Constant Bliss, for dinner.  It's made in Vermont and they play jazz and classical music for the cows there, to make better milk I guess. Mom made so many weird noises as she was eating the cheese, you would have thought she was making out with George Clooney.  Embarrassing! 

Mom let Sundance and me smell the package of cheese before she ate it. I have to admit, it smelled nice and funky!  I tried to tear the wrapper off, but mom saved it.

It was so funky, I made that funny expression where I opened my mouth a little, inhaled the cheesey odor and went into a little trance.

If you need more convincing, here's why you should be nice to your mom:  To protect your bottom line.  She made a yummy chicken stew, with fava beans. And she picked out most of the chicken and gave it to me and Sundance.  See, take care of your mom (and your dad) and she will take care of you!  We'll have the Round up posted on Sunday.

Awww, we can understand your mommy, this cheese must smell wonderful. We'd love to have a bite!
Your mommy is very good to you if she shares all the chicken of her own food. You should go and give your mom an extra hug for this!

Some of us would rather have the cheese than to make out with George Clooney! (For myself, it's a toss up!)

Claudius would like to be included in the Weekend Cat Blogging. Here's a link:

Thanks,

Dang, I need to go out and get a cat so somebody can give me luxorious Clooney substitute cheeses!

[kate]

Uh....I would take the cheese, not George. Go ahead and call me crazy. But sub in some other actors name.....say Rob Morrow and the cheese would be history.

I will get a linky to you Saturday.

[sammawow]

Oh, that cheese looks really good. I will definitely have to see if China Cat & Willow would get me that for Mother's Day! Sammawow was tagged with a meme of 7 Random Facts and you have now been tagged. If Upsie and Sundance would like to play, the rules are over at my blog.

[Tanna]

I love what you do with Upsie and Sundance!
I would love that cheese! Happy Mother's Day!

[Jenn]

Hey Upsie and Sundance -- you didn't actually eat that stew with most of the chicken picked out, did you??? If so, you're definitely California cats!

[jennywenny]

I thought my cat was the only one that did that wierd funky smell face and the trance. Sounds like she has a partner in that!!

[Melly53]

My cat Simon is crazy for cheese. The minute we open it he is asking for it..and it doesn't matter what kind it is. Sometimes when I head for the frig, he follows along and when I open the door he scratches at the cheese drawer. Did I mention that he is a big cat?

I want some of that "jazz cheese".

[Diva Kitty]

DKM walks by that place twice a day and has NEVER gotten me a treat like that!

[Mina]

I think stinky cheese would offend my delicate palate, but I'm glad that your mother seems to like it. I have just written the first WCB for my mother - silly human that she is. I am so honored to represent beautiful calicos everywhere!

[Jenn]

Here's Kamikaze! http://igot2shoes.blogspot.com/2007/05/wcb-101-meme.html Thanks for hosting, my friend!

[Lannae]

I think those 2 cats are lucky getting to even just smell the cheese. I could have reached right in myself and taken a big bite! Oh, how I want some rind and oooozy cheesy goodness!

[CK]

Oh but that cheese looks lovely! Thanks for hosting WCB this weekend. Here's my link:

Mmmm, cheese!
Well, we're a bit early this week, too. But between mothers day and our thoughts for our kitty and human friends, here we are.

Astrid, Kashim & Othello,

That cheese did smell good. It wasn't stinky--just a little funky! And very buttery tasting. Yum!

Deborah,

I think eating cheese with George might be nice. :):)

Susan,

It's a done deal! Claudie is a doll!

Butta Buns,

You will have to get your cat a credit card--then he/she can order it for you!

Kate,

Rob Morrow is very nice. I still love him from Northern Exposure. :)

Sammawow,

Loved reading your meme! Hope you get a nice gift from the kitties on Mother's Day!

Tanna,

I think you would like this cheese very much. It has a fabulous flavor--very buttery.

Jenn,

Oh, Upsie and Sundance think fava beans are silly. So, I gave them the chicken and I ate the favas! YUM!

May 11,

Yes, love that funny face they make!

Melly53,

Please get yourself some of the cheese. You and your kitty will be in heaven! It really is a fabulous cheese--from happy cows!

Diva Kitty,

No! How unfair!

Mina,

It wasn't very stinky--so you might like it. It actually was pretty mild smelling, compared to some stinky cheeses! :):) I love calicos!

Lannae,

Ah yes! I love the rind too. My husband won't eat it, so I get it all for myself! Yumm!

CK,

Thanks for the link! Look for the Roundup on Sunday!

Amar & Luna,

It wouldn't be a proper WCB without you! :):)

[Marjie]

It's about time I stopped in to thank you for your blog. I love your recipes, pictures, writing...and I try something new at your suggestion about once a week. Last Saturday was my mom's 65th birthday - she's a big Elvis fan - and I made your "Hunk of Burning Love Cupcakes." They were the hit of the party. Thanks so much!

[kate]

Here's my link as promised

I put my link under my name, but just in case.... I wouldn't want to deprive anyone of the opportunity to gaze at my loveliness... http://luckyandcharmed.wordpress.com/

[s'kat]

That cheese looks awesome! What a great Mom you are.

[Aloysius]

Great pictures. Cheese is one of the few human foods that I find tempting. (The other one is tuna, of course.) Here's my entry for this week:

Don't know if it's of any interest, and you probably already know this, but that sniffy thing cats do? Is called flehmen. It has its own name! Here's a site with some info:

And that Cowgirl Creamery is just a hop skip and a jump from where I live, and boy do I love their cheese.

Here's this week's pawprints from us

Thanks for hosting & I'm impressed with the cheezy thoughtfulness for Mother's Day:)

[Lisa]

So Upsie and Sundance are cheeseheads! What a surprise! They and the cheeses look wonderful. I'll have to check that Vermont stuff out...I love that they play music for the animals.
