Sleep Poem

trixiecat — Fri, 27 Jan 2012 16:40:16 +0000

I’ve written enough poems about me, so now I’ll write one about one of my favorite things: sleep!

Sleepy cat
Lies in bed
Eyes are closing
Expecting
Pats from library staff

Trixie’s Bookshelf: Penguin by Polly Dunbar

trixiecat — Wed, 25 Jan 2012 20:00:18 +0000

Ben opens up his present to find a toy penguin. But the penguin doesn’t talk or do much of anything. Only when Ben is eaten by a lion does the penguin spring into action and save his owner. I’d like to think my toys would do the same for me, but somehow I doubt it.

Cat Board Games

I’m bored. Can you come play a game with me? Maybe a cat board game, like Crazy Cat Lady. Or Cat-Opoly. How about The Cat’s Pajamas? And if you’re coming from England, bring Cat Attack.

Here’s a fun song to sing!

There was a library had a cat,
And Trixie was her name-e.
T-R-I-X-I-E!
T-R-I-X-I-E!
T-R-I-X-I-E!
And Trixie was her name-e!

Try this gourmet cat food recipe. All you need is a can of salmon, pasta, mixed vegetables, and a blender. I don’t know about the blender, but the rest of the ingredients sound delicious!

Yet Another Trixie Poem

trixiecat — Fri, 06 Jan 2012 21:34:14 +0000

Totally cool
Runs fast
I want to eat
Xceptionally bright
I can’t think of anything to put here
Eternal optimist

Cat Senses

Click here for some fascinating facts about cats’ senses. Did you know that since we’re farsighted we can’t actually see the food in the food bowl while we’re eating? We use our whiskers and sense of smell to know where the food is.

Let’s test my vision. I think the object in front of me is a … hippopotamus?

New Year’s Resolutions

trixiecat — Wed, 28 Dec 2011 17:32:09 +0000

My New Year’s Resolution is to change…nothing! Because I’m perfect just the way I am! But I’m sure you need to make some resolutions. Here are my suggestions:

Feed your cat more.
Buy more cat toys.
Buy the biggest cat tower you can find.
Give more to animal rescue organizations.
Get rid of your dog.
And of course…come to the library more!

Trixie’s Bookshelf: Callie

trixiecat — Tue, 20 Dec 2011 21:16:46 +0000

Oh no! A cat cuter than me! Read about Callie, the homeless and injured kitten rescued by Mia, who would love to have a pet cat. But Mia’s apartment is too small for pets. Can Callie find a home? Remember Trixie’s Rule #1 of cat books: They always have a happy ending! Look for this book by Ellen Miles in the chapter book section.

trixiecat — Fri, 16 Dec 2011 20:12:15 +0000

Here are some games to play with your cat, like Paw Hockey, Bathtub Scurry, and Chase the Bubbles.

My favorite game is How Fast Can I Get To The Top Of The Cat Tower!

Keep Kitties Safe

Remember to keep your pets safe this time of year. Don’t let kitties play with small things around the house like Christmas tree decorations, ribbon and wrapping paper. Click here for a cat holiday puzzle you can do online and print out to color.

I Spy

trixiecat — Fri, 09 Dec 2011 00:47:45 +0000

When you’re walking into the library, I might be spying on you from upstairs! Speaking of spies, did you know that the CIA once tried to use cat spies?

Cat Christmas Ornaments

trixiecat — Tue, 06 Dec 2011 17:57:13 +0000

Christmas trees are going up, and what better way to decorate them than with cat ornaments? I love Christmas trees! They’re fun to climb, and I can bat the ornaments around. If you could find a place to fit my food bowl and litter box in the tree, then I could live here!

Trixie’s Bookshelf: Chicken Butt

trixiecat — Thu, 01 Dec 2011 17:59:29 +0000

A boy says “chicken butt” over and over and over. My IQ actually went down from reading this. But it was fun! Chicken Butt is by Erica Perl and you can find it in the picture book section.
