Since Boodie’s history is a little mysterious — she and her sister were put in a box and dumped in the parking lot of a vet clinic when they were five months old — we don’t know exactly when her birthday was. We just guestimate it was sometime in May. And every year she gets a card from PetSmart.
And while PetSmart doesn’t exactly give her anything, they do enclose a coupon for my human to use, providing she makes it to the store sometime before May 30. Since PetSmart is kind of far away, my human does not go there very often. This month, she made it there right before the deadline.
For a ten dollar purchase, you get a toy or treat that is worth up to three dollars for free. If you have been to any pet store lately, you know that three dollars does not buy much. But this time my human lucked out and found a whole package of toys! It must have been on sale or a closeout.
She could not wait to show it to Boodie to see her reaction.
It really was a lot of toys for under three bucks.
Usually Boodie is the first of us cats to be all over any toy, but she was less than impressed with this selection. Even though she did make an effort.
Well… make that half an effort.
Before long she was hanging around the kitty toy chest, looking for something more fun. My human is wondering if we’re getting spoiled with all these toys. I just think Boodie would have liked her birthday gifts better if they had smelled like catnip.
So Boodie’s birthday was something of a bust this year. At least there was something good playing on Bird TV.
See all of Summer’s merch at her Designercat Shop, available on Zazzle.
What a lovely thing for the human to make the effort.
We are in Petsmart every week – and it takes effort for us too (and lots of money.) I have never received a birthday card for anyone here.
I prefer the birdie tv too.
Cat toys are very hard to judge if they are gonna be good or not. I’ve learned to carefully open the packages, as I return them if nobody plays with them right away. AND they cost a lot of money, so I’m not wasting that!! Best toys at our place is the milk jug rings and sparkle balls–they are sparkly pom poms that I buy at the craft store. Much cheaper than those packaged cat toys!
Happy Birthday, Boodie!
Awwwwww Happy Purrthday Boodie! I bets dem toys will be all over da place before you knows it, you was probably waiting till da flashy fing was gone MOL.
I knows what you mean about da toys under 3 green papers, at least we has our new $1 menu for toys huh.
Purrrrrrrrrrrrrs
I would bet that Boodie liked her birthday present better than you think. She was just playing it cool.
Happy Birthday Boodie! We’re sorry you weren’t that impressed with your new toys but we do hope you had a wonderful day!
Happy purrthday, Boodie! Even though your birthday wasn’t impressive, we hope your upcoming year is filled with all sorts of things you love. 🙂
Happy Sorta Birthday Boodie!!!! Nip improves any toy. How can you be spoiled? It’s not possible!
Happy Birthday Boody!
You are a very lucky cat, if such a rich collection of toys bores you (a bit). Maybe you will find good use for them yet.
Oops. We came by to wish Boodie a Happy Birthday!
Guess you have too many toys that smell like catnip. Course your mom could put the new toys in a jar or something and add some catnip so the toys would smell good. That’s what Jan does sometimes.
Happy birthday Boodie. We like our toys better when they are nip flavoured.
Happy Purrthday Boodie!!!!
Thanks so much for stopping by and wishing Saylor a Happy Purrthday! We have entered you in our giveaway!
Sorry you were dissapointed. I hope you get something you like next itme.. Hugs GJ xx
Happy Birthday Boodie! If I could I would jump out of a cake for you!
Happy birthday, Boodie! I am sorry your toys were a little bit Not Fun. The toy macaroni might be fun to kick around though.
Happy Birthday, Boodie!
Well, you at least gave it one fang…maybe those toys need to marinate in the toy box for a bit…
Happy Purrthday any way Boodie. Sometimes new toys aren’t fun until dey haf been sitting in nip fur awhile. Some times dey remind us dat our favorite toy is in da toy box!
Happy Birthday Boodie and many, many, many moooooooore!! And catnp on the toys make them more fun!! Hehehehehehe! We love your Bird TV!!
Your TX furiends,
Happy Brithday Boodie!! We get the cards too–and we got a PetsSmart just a few blocks away–but Tommy NEVER comes home with any toys from there. Kitty Litter, but no toys–and cat nip IS the secret ingredient–and I gotta say the Bird Channel looks like it was keen. You got room on the ledge from a cat from Texas??
Happy Birthday to Boodie! All our kitties are shelter cats so we decided they all have the same birthday – April 1st. They get cards from PetSmart too but we live very far away from one and so don’t go anymore. At least bird tv was running good shows.
Happy Purrthday! Those are some pawsome toys have fun!!! =^_^= PURRS2U
Happy birthday Boodie! Hey, some toys just aren’t as fun as others! Bird tv is always a good alternative.
Happy Birthday, Boodie! At least your human used your PetSmart coupon…my mom let mine expire and I got nothing!!

Boodie – that was not very nice of you to be cool about your presents – remember your Mom fetched them especially for you. Now go and give her a cuddle and she’ll forgive you.
Boodie is not unappreciative, just particular. I know how that goes in this house…
Pimp ONLY likes toys that are mice. Mind you, it can be any shape, texture, fabric or size — if it’s a mouse, it’s a go. If it’s not a mouse… fugheddaboudit.
Happy birthday anyway Boodie. Maybe you can write a list for next year.
Happy Birthday Brodie. Sparkle might be right, maybe a little nip would be good. We sure hope you have a good day and many more.
Have a great Sunday.
Happy Birthday! And we hope next year’s offerings are more pleasing.
The look on Boodie’s face during the half effort is priceless. Happy Birthday Boodie! I’m glad there was something good on Bird TV.
We think we have that same package….we saw a fuzzy purple star like one we have. Maybe your Mom could put it in a ziplock bag with some catnip???

Awww, Boodie, we’re sorry you were less-than-impressed with the toys! We kinda have the same problem—we have so many toys to play with that we get bored very easily.
You have a really cute toy chest, we must say!
