Adorable bundting in bold black and white with touches of pink and a pink paw print announcing it's a girl.

Dear Penny!

Adorable soft sculpture cat doll made out of vintage 1960's fabric. She sits in front of a green and white polka dot background and has two colorful pinwheels next to her.

Welcome to the Catberry Tails gang! You are a very close cousin of Eve 2.0! In fact you're cut from the same cloth...very soft paisley fabric from an old tablecloth.

Penny is shown from the back. You can really see the paisley pattern in the vintage fabric. Her arms and paws rest by her side.

You were created during 90 degree weather in the month of November! Thank heavens I had you to keep me occupied inside with the air conditioning!

I apologize for accidentally sewing your legs on backwards. The Chairman was more than happy to give me his curse jar to feed while I performed surgery to correct my mistake.

Penny sits with one leg crossed over the other and her arm around the pin wheels.

Not to worry. Look how adorable you turned out. And you helped the Chairman buy gas for his World Dominationmobile!

Penny, the adorable soft sculptured cat doll, sits with her legs crossed on a navy blue doll chair.

Welcome to the gang, little one. You'll be going for a ride in the World Dominationmobile along with Bandit!

Look at that booty! You have your own buttonhole and proof that you're an official member of the Catberry Tails' gang.

The Chairman's letterhead complete with his photo and pawprint.

The Kreatrix is constantly taking photographs. But if we try to take a picture of her, she screams and runs down the hallway hollering

"It'll suck my soul right out through my eyeballs!"

Personally, I'd like to see that.

Anywho, since I'm making inroads with the kitty population (the ones the Kreatrix and Prof dote on) I decided to show some of the pretty photos Kreatrix has shared on instagram. She used her "dumb" phone (not an iphone) to take these photos.

Adorable real life cat Wally stares up at the camera.

Real life cat Melvin, an orange and white cutie, stretches out on a beautiful blue plaid blanket.

Long haired orange cat, Rudy, is photobombed my Wally in the background.
Don't look at Wally back there. I said DON'T LOOK!
Black and white real life cat Wally sits in a colorful orange basket. His eyes are very green.

A striking photo of long haired Rudy, the real life cat. Very beautiful.
I shall let you pet me on the first Tuesday of the month...

Wally the real life cat is yawning big time.

Rudy, a beautiful long haired orange cat, stares at the computer keyboard with complete disdain.
No. I will not help you.

Orange and White tabby, Mel, with huge eyes staring out the window.

That's Melvin up there. He ALWAYS looks like that. And when he meows, he sounds like he's asking:

"Why?!!!"

I hear ya, buddy. I ask myself the same thing everyday.

A crazy looking white cartoon cat instructs us to listen up because the Kreatrix has something important to say.

When you're in the trenches of self-employment and wondering if your little venture will soar to the heights you hope, it helps to:

  1. LAUGH
  2. Revisit your favorite people's humble beginnings

Simon's Cat meets that criteria and I know I've shared some things from Simon Tofield before but I haven't shared his very first animation from 2008. It still cracks me up.

Fast forward to recent months and he has given us another classic. Most cat people have lived with a cat who is obsessed with the roll of toilet paper but this animated feature takes the whole ordeal to hysterical heights.

Simon Tofield went from a one man operation (he did that first video all by himself and said it took a very long time) to having a small crew work with him. Even with a crew he reminds us the videos still take quite a while but the detail and length of his features has expanded over the years. Truly amazing and yet simple in their complete honesty of what it's like to live with a cat!

Thank you, Simon, for giving me the gift of laughter!

The Chairman's letterhead complete with his photo and pawprint.

A colorful Happy Halloween banner complete with mean looking pumpkin and a flying bat.

The Chairman cat doll is dressed up as a ghost. All we see are his button eyes and his arm across his chest.

I know...scary, right?

Eve 2.0 Cat doll is wearing a cap with colorul skulls on it. She is wearing pink boots meant for dog paws.

Helloooo Eve. What the heck are you? We're cutting her some slack because she painted and decorated that pumpkin.

The Chairman as a ghost, Eve with her pink boots and Ginger with orange and yellow striped toe socks on her ears and a leopard print stole wrapped around her shoulders.

And Ginger's giant ears kept getting in my face!

We asked Bandit what his costume was and he said:

I am camo cat.

Riiiiight. It is kinda hard to see him in all that black and white.

Adorable soft sculptured cat doll named Bandit. He poses with a black and white pumpkin. A skeleton is sneaking around from behind him to grab the pumpkin.

We had an "incident", though. See the skinny dude creeping around Bandit? Ya, well, he suddenly fell over. Out cold!

The skeleton laying on his back supposedly pass outed cold.

Bandit started giving him CPR and screaming:

Don't you die on me, man!

A photo of Bandit bent over the skeleton with his paws crossed on its chest giving him C P R.

Ginger starts hollering in the background:

He's not dying! Just feed him somethin' for poop's sake....MEN!

Not so sure I liked the way she said MEN!

Lets take a closer look at Bandit's technique during this dramatic moment.

An up close shot of Bandit's paws on the chest of the passed out skeleton.

Hey, remember the dude we picked up alongside the road and gave a ride home? Well, check this out:

The Chairman sits on his bicycle with a large Yoda doll hanging onto to the back seat.

I told him:

You have the best Halloween costume ever, dude.

He says

Costume it's not. Look like this I do.

I think I understand. Maybe he's from the same planet as the Kreatrix.

Very lovely paper bunting hanging from a black and white shoelace. It reads meow! Underneath it reads It's a Boy. A blue pawprint is included.

The World Domination Squad Welcomes A New Member!

Dear Bandit,

Adorable soft sculpture cat doll with large black velvet spots. He sits on a turquoise rug with turquoise and white wallpaper in the background. He poses with a sign that reads: life is short. Play with your cat. You have an important mission in life! You must make humans' smile and laugh because they need some humor and love these days!

Bandit is photographed from behind where his large black velvet patches are on full display.

Don't be afraid to strike a pose! Remember the lessons the Chairman taught you.

Bandit sits in a small upholstered chair looking imploringly into the camera. His legs are crossed, very human-like.

You were made with a great deal of love by the Kreatrix. Her assistant for your delivery was Mr. Rudy Rudmann.

A beautiful long-haired orange cat with a very determined expression.

Notice his steely determination as he helps with your stuffing.

Rudy, the beautiful long-haired orange cat has some doll stuffing on the end of his paw. He looks like he is really helping!

Meanwhile...across the room...this one was absolutely no help.

An adorable black and white cat is sound asleep, twisted into an unbelievable position.

Welcome Bandit! You'll be going for a ride in the World Dominationmobile very soon!

With Love,

The Kreatrix

Eve's Letterhead. A cute floral background with a banner reading from the desk of Eve two point oh.

From The Front Lines of The Stray Cat Club Bash!

by Eve Twopointoh (2.0)

A glamour shot of Eve Two point oh. Soft focus. Wearing a beautiful necklace.
My Official Beauty Shot!

Saturday, October 18th, was the annual fundraiser for The Stray Cat Alliance held at a big Hollywood agent's estate. Three hundred cat people attended the fancy affair to help raise money for the rescue and rehabilitation of homeless and injured cats.

I got to attend because I am the current generation of the World Domination Squad. I have a new and improved booty so I don't tip over.

As you know from the Chairman's meltdown, this was my ride for the evening :

A very lovely, sparkly large purse. Very colorful and lovely.

Ginger and Peach helped me get ready with makeup and jewelry.

Three adorable soft sculpture cat dolls and are a bathroom counter with makeup and jewelry. Ginger is fastening a necklace around Eve's neck. Peach looks on.

HOWEVER. The Chairman kept carrying on in the background saying:

Some cat dolls get to hang out in a glittery, NICE bag!

The girls gave me a final hug.

Three soft sculpture cat dolls and in a group embrace.

Here I am in the "glittery, nice bag" as we drove to the estate in Brentwood.

Eve's bottom half is perched inside a colorful bag. Her top half is sitting up and looking around.

The valets whisked our car away and I saw sooooo many cat people and cameras that I froze. OK. Maybe I hissed. But then a female human saw me and screeched:

"OMG! Look at the adorable cat doll!"

She held my paw and smiled while a paparazzi took my photo. I hope I didn't blink.

Then I saw Sherlock with a throng of cat people around him!

Sherlock poses on a fancy silent auction table.

I didn't get to spend long with him because he was pretty popular with the ladies!

A cute photo of Eve posing with Sherlock.

I asked Kreatrix if we were at a fancy hotel and she said:

"Um. No. That is somebody's home, Eve."

Wow. I don't think we have enough money in the curse jar to buy one of those places for Kreatrix and The Prof.

The dinner was held in a really big back yard!

Lots of people at dinner tables near a swimming pool and a huge pool house in the background.

That's not the main house back there folks. Kreatrix said it looked like guest accommodations or a pool house.

More people at tables with two huge video screen behind a large state. Photos of rescued cats are on the screen.

I must say, cat people are a delightful group and I met so many nice people who kept telling me how adorable I was.

It was a magical and romantic evening! It left me wishing I had a special tom...Ginger has the Chairman...who do I have?...sigh. Kreatrix, is there someone special for me?

Eve is sitting on the dinner table with roses, candlelight and wine glasses in the background.

Best of all, Sherlock worked his magic and raised a nice bundle of money to help homeless cats!

Let's watch Sherlock one more time as he goes for his honorary ride in the World Dominationmobile! He's my hero.

Before The Shindig I Had A Meltdown

Eve is working on Part 2 of the Stray Cat Alliance party and shindig this past weekend. I respectfully present to you Part 1.

As we all know, Kreatrix occasionally takes me out into the world and when she does, here is how I "travel":

The Chairman poses with a pink shopping bag. He is obviously not happy.

Ah, yes. The dreaded pink bag.

Well, well.

Take a look at Eve 2.0's ride to the Stray Cat Alliance fundraiser:

A very lovely, sparkly large purse. Very colorful and lovely.

Yup.

Let me put it more bluntly.

Here's mine:

A pathetic pink nylon bag tossed on the countertop. Empty and drab.

And here's Eve's:

A very lovely, sparkly large purse. Very colorful and lovely.

When I saw that on Saturday night before they left for the party I MAY have had a minor meltdown.

Ya know, sort of:

Why, Kreatrix, why!???

The Chairman cat doll bent over the counter, crying with the sorry pink bag crumpled next to him.
Why hast thou forsaken me, Kreatrix?

Hey, I look pretty good in agony.

ANYWHO. The most amazing thing happened while I was having my "moment."

The Chairman has his paws around real life cat, Wally, who has jumped up on the counter to comfort the Chairman.

He likes me, he really likes me!

I...I...this is a silver lining moment, people! Wally is my new best buddy. He heard my mournful, soulful cries and came to comfort me.

Life is good...for the moment.

Stay tuned! The girls will fill you in on Eve's party night and how our buddy, Sherlock, performed at the Silent Auction!

Ginger has her own letterhead now! She is an adorable soft sculptured cat doll. Her letterhead features beautiful handwriting and a beauty shot of Ginger.

Updates From The Studio

Hello Sweet Peas! Ginger here, feline reporter extraordinaire! Lots to tell you so let's jump right in!

Remember this guy who appeared in our back seat and we decided to keep him but didn't tell the Kreatrix?

Ginger and The Chairman are driving in their World Dominationmobile. A large, but adorable Yoda head from Star Wars is peeking over the backseat.

Well...the Chairman had us practice posing like dolls with the funny looking dude quietly in the background. This way the Kreatrix won't notice anything unusual.

Check out my "dead-eye" doll stare we were all instructed to use by the Chairman. (EVE, YOU CHEATED! You look too alive!)

The dolls sit with eyes staring at the ceiling and Yoda sits calmly in the background. Eve is looking sweetly at the camera.

So far so good. Kreatrix hasn't said anything about the green guy (who is actually quite lovely and verrrry intelligent...talks weird, though).

More community members are coming!!! Lookey here! Body parts:

A close-up shot of various arms and legs for the dolls.

A photo of the Catberry Tails label sewn onto fabric and a button flower above it.

Eve helped pick out a fresh batch of eye balls. Ew!

Eve is adorably posed with her paws sifting through a large collection of green buttons used for the eyes.

Okay. Get ready. I have some really big news.

EVE 2.0 IS ATTENDING A HUGE COCKTAIL PARTY THIS WEEKEND!

Remember the big bash at the fancy estate coming up this weekend? The Stray Cat Alliance is having their yearly fundraising benefit for cats (yup, the same one Sherlock is helping raise money for) and Eve will be attending with the Kreatrix and the Prof!!!!

The humans have to wear cocktail attire. So -

Jewelry, people! Eve gets to wear a necklace for her cocktail attire!

Lovely costume jewelry spread out dramatically on a black velvet background.

Kreatrix presented some choices for us to see. Us girls helped Eve pick one out.

Three adorable soft sculpture cat dolls are huddled around the jewelry. Ginger is holding one across her paw.

Hopefully, yours truly will get to wear a necklace like one of these someday. Sigh.

Kreatrix has been so busy, Wally has taken to flopping on his back in a desperate bid for her attention.

Wally, the real life cat, is flopped on his back, belly up, in an adorable pose.

I'd feel sorry for him but she smothers him with so much love it's ridiculous. Usually when he does this she screams:

Kitty Belleh!

And drops to the ground to kiss his stomach. Hmmmm.

Stay tuned for more news from the World Domination Squad!

Toodles!

The Chairman's letterhead complete with his photo and pawprint.

In Honor of Halloween

The Kreatrix took me to a scary place and I had to travel there in the darn pink shopping bag.

The Chairman poses with a pink shopping bag. He is obviously not happy.

As you can see above, I WAS NOT HAPPY ABOUT THE BAG!

That said...I present to you the scary place I traveled to:

Seriously humans? I liked the dancing but that place is indeed scary. Kreatrix says humans like to hang out there.

Whatever floats your boat...

Ginger and I were going to go buy a pumpkin but this dude appeared outta nowhere in our backseat and there was no room for the pumpkin.

Ginger and The Chairman are driving in their World Dominationmobile. A large, but adorable Yoda head from Star Wars is peeking over the backseat.

He looks oddly familiar.  Ginger says he looks just odd.  Nice guy, though.

We brought him home. We're keeping him. Kreatrix doesn't know, yet...SHHHH!

Born To Be Wild

But apparently wild will have to wait because you humans require things called license plates and drivers license. Sheesh!

Reminder. Here is our World Dominationmobile on its worst day.

Beaten up child's electric car with potential.

And here it is SMOKIN'

The Chairman and his gang sitting in a little red corvette.

HOWEVER

Due to said minor detail of license and license plate, the only driving I'm allowed to do is on the Kreatrix driveway...

All 10 feet of it

I am now an expert at backing up and pulling forward.

Dude edited together the rather repetitive footage Kreatrix shot due to my INABILITY TO GO OUT ON THE STREET. Dude almost made it look good.

That’s Dude in the center down there. Obviously smarter than he looks.

Dude is peering over the back seat of the car.

Sherlock got to ride in the passenger's seat just before he left for his big fancy gig for the Stray Cat Alliance. He's in Los Angeles right now and will soon travel to Brentwood. Hope it doesn't go to his head.

Sherlock sits in the passenger's seat of the cat looking quite daper.

Enjoy our drive backwards and forwards and backwards and forwards...sigh. So close and yet so far.
