Today is not of my species day. We are having a party for all our friends (all species welcome). Our guest of honor and not of my species special friends are
Asta, she was one of the first doggies we meet when we started blogging. We have had many wonderful adventures with her and her words of encouragement have brightened our days when we are feeling down. She is bringing Myrna with her as a special guest. Myrna is a wheelie and we are just getting to know her and learn about wheelies.
Charlie, holds a special place in our heart. We have shared many wonderful adventures with her and her friendship makes our life brighter. We always feel safe when she is around.
And last but certainly not least Buddy, Merci and Samaritan who blog at Jan's Funny Farm. They have helped us stay informed about important animal issues and are our role models for when we get a canine brother or sister. Their feline siblings; Cameron, Cotton, Crystal, Cyndi, Percy & Rusty are up at the house with their NOMSSF River helping Mommy set up the buffet. Be sure to say hi to them when you go to get something to eat. And make sure Mommy is actually working, she was so overcome with River's cuteness she kept stopping to play (bad Mommy).
Top left, clockwise: Myrna, Sassy, Mercy, Momo. Geese Family, Asta,Charly, Samaritan, Scylla, Socks, Charybdis (drinking from fountain), Charlotte (lower left) Buddy.
Since we understand doggies like to swim we decided to have a pond party. Asta made this lovely picture of us enjoying the delights of the pond with our not of my species guest .........we branched out Mrs. Goose & Mr. Gander are at our party with their goslings and many of our butterfly friends accepted our invitation. Gossip has it that Mrs. Goose is planning to visit Central Park so she and Asta can visit again, they had such a good time together at the party.
But for those who don't care to take a dip there are lots of other things we can do together, we can play chase and take naps in the shade and of course eat ...........
Catmint tea, 
Milkshakes and
Cosmopolitans are available under the oak tree along with ice water. When you are ready for lunch head to the house.
Since we live on the Mississippi Gulf Coast we are going with a sea food theme. Help yourself to all the goodies, Mommy has them set up buffet style in the dining room. We have
Seafood Spaghetti,
Fillet with Lump Crabmeat,
Lobster Imperial, and
Ice-cream for dessert 
. Be sure to get some of everything.
Please take a Plumeria home with you as a token of our friendship. Thank you so much for coming to celebrate NOMS Day with us. We had a wonderful time and we hope you did too. ~Socks, Scylla & Charybdis

Please join us is saying a prayer for Felix and Jackson and any other cats and dogs that need our prayers and purrs. ~S, S & C
You chose a great title for the NOMS post! What a swell surprise to find a party by the pond. We may have to try the Lump Crabmeat!! Mom loves Cosmos!
We are so glad you could come Gandalf and Grayson, do go get your Mom so she can enjoy the Cosmos with our Mom.
Scylla & Charybdis have started the races. You race from the pond to the TOP of the jungle gym, whoever gets to the top first wins. We need someone to beat Scylla as she always beats me and Charybdis. She is the only one of us brave enough to get on the roof.
~Socks
Mr. Tigger and I are ready to party! We put up the link to here on our Blog! Everything looks so good! What great NOMS furiends you guys know! We will have to post some pictures of Mo & Joe our ducks, who adopted our house and our Dad!
I am ready to beat Scylla to the top of the Jungle Gym. I love high places! (Samantha)
Oh what a great party! I am so glad Mommy let me come!
Thanks for the invite! I think I'll get a cool drink and take a stroll and introduce myself!
Happy NOMS Day! This is such a wonderful occasion, and you have some great friends. I like to be friends with dogs and hamsters and goats and all species!

Hi Samantha, it's wonderful to have company up here. I can't believe you beat me. I shall have to practice running faster. ~Scylla
Parker, we are so glad you got to come. Have you meet Mrs. Goose & Mr. Gander yet? I'll be happy to introduce you. ~Socks
Daisy, our Mommy grew up on a farm and she had lots of exotic pets, even peacocks, so we think it would be nice to have lots of NOMS friends of all different species too. ~ Charybdis
We are glad you are having a good time Asta. We had to send Mommy to the store for more supplies (Pixie, Mommy got you some bananas), she is back now and we have tons of food so everyone dig in. OK, we are all going to chase Asta now.
~Socks, Scylla & Charybdis
Wow, that is an awesome party spread!
Thanks for inviting us - we hope that you have a great NOMS day with all your non-kitty friends!
luv,
Not The Mama
and the purries from
Purrchance To Dream
Yes, we kitties are wondering about your mom. She has really fallen for River. Do you think there might be a surprise in your future? Perhaps a little ball of barking fluff?
This is such a lovely day for a picnic. And your title is so appropriate for the day. We have decided every day should be NOMS day! But - sigh - every day can't be a holiday.
Yes, a moment of prayer for those who are sick is appropriate.
A bite of lobster sounds good about now. We think we'll hit the buffet.
Yummmm, that filet topped with crabmeat is the perfect thing to share with my NOMS brother Mica. I get the steak, he gets the crabmeat—something for everyone!
Your pals,
Petey and Mica
Oh boy, dis is a lovely party. We even brawt our cuzzin woofie Alfred wif us. We is gonna go around and meet effuryone and see if we can play in any games. Ooo, all dat seafood, yum.
Not The Mama and the purries from
Purrchance To Dream, we are so glad you got to come.
JFF, Mommy keeps pestering Daddy to fence in our yard so we can have a woofie brother or sister. She is thinking something small so maybe Charybdis won't be afraid of it. We almost got a doggie visitor the 4th of July. We want to get a rescue, so we will just have to see what is available when we got our yard fenced. Lobster sounds yummy I think we will join you.
Petey & Mica, we are so glad you could come.
Zippy, Sadie, Speedy & Alfred , so glad you could come. How about joining us on a squirrel hunt, we are going to invite them to join the party if we can find them. Mommy got some nuts and fruit for them to eat, when she made the supply run.
Socks, Scylla & Charybdis
It's a lovely party, thank you for sharing -- we heard that's the "thing to do" on NOMS day. Our new NOMS friend is Arthur; hope you don't mind that we brought him to the party; he'll eat anything! Even the leftover scraps.
We are so glad you brought Arthur, he'll come in handy when it is time to clean up.
Mommy has invited everyone to participate in a pea shelling contest. Whoever shells the most peas in the next 30 minutes will be the winner. So far Mommy is the champ at our house with Daddy a close second. Who can beat her????
Pea shelling? You mean we have to shell your dinner to get ours? Well, if we're eating, guess we better get shelling.
Come on JFF. Let's shell our hearts out. Maybe we'll win a shrimp dinner.
JFF, you are very silly.
Wow, Mommy never saw anybody shell peas so fast, she is in awe.
Socks, Scylla & Charybdis
PAR-TAY - woooo hooooo! Happy NOMS Day!
Hi Kimo & Sabi, we are so glad you stopped by.
Our next contest sounds much more fun............it's an ice-cream eating contest.
We are betting on our youngest boy bean. He eats a lot. ~Socks, Scylla & Charybdis
I was just visiting over at Jan's Funny Farm. I hadn't heard about NOMS day until today but I think it's a great idea! :)
Thank you so much for inviting us to this wonderful Noms Day Party!
Our staff is very uncooperative today of all days, can you believe it! So we will just stay here at this party and enjoy ourselves with all these wonderful friends!
Thank you and Happy Noms Day to you!
Mrs. OZ and Tintin
Mrs. OZ and Tintin, we are so glad you made it. Tintin, it is nice to meet you in person. We have tons of food, and lots of spaces to curl up and take naps. And there are tons of things to do, I think we are fixing to play hide and seek.
Irishcoda, glad you could come. This is our first year to participate in NOMS Day.
Pea shelling Contest sounds hard, but Ice Cream! I can eat that with the best of them. I'm ready just let me know when! Mr. Tigger
Hey, it's no wonder I never made it to the pond. That was great food! I really liked the seafood theme. I hope we can do this again next year and even more NOMS join us. Thank you for inviting me. You all are so sweet! My mom says she could never give me up (although she never serves food like you all did) but there are others (somewhat) like me who would be so happy to live with you.
love & wags,
River
Wow this is a cool party....hope it's OK if our Spoos, Luke & OBI come too! Could that be one of Daisy's butterflies near the pond...stopping in to party? Lots of our furends are here and there's so many to meet!It's always nice to make new furends!!!=^Y^=the Cat Street Boyz
OMG what great food!!!!!
Great to get out of the jungle for a little bit and join in on the NOMS party! Thanks for inviting us. We might not want to go back because you cannot get this delicious food in the jungle.
What a great, fun day!!!!!!!!!
Sassy, Momo, Opus & Roscoe
Fillet Lump Crab Meat? I AM in heaven! You guys are so nice to have us all over today. Thank you!
Hello and meowz to you Alasandra! Miss Peach and COLE are in the house! We love that you are honoring all of us with such a wonderful party here today! I would love to wander around your garden and drink out of the cool fountain you have. We love the flower blooms that make good veggie eats! But for now Cole and I would like to have a catmint tea and some of that yummy spaghetti seafood and a bit of the lobster on the side please. Oh and the best for last two orders of ice creme please. We will not be messy or burp!
Sending you much love in friendship today for al of your nice visits to my bloggy....you are a treasure for all of us!!
Love Miss Peach and Cole
wow, what a great party. i'll take a moment to think of all our friends that need a healing purr.
what a great theme for a party. everyone getting along! humans could learn a lot from us critters. can i get anyone a plate of crab?
that is a great solar fountian!
We are glad everyone likes the food, we tried to think of something everyone would like.
Mr. Tigger, we don't believe it you tied youngest boy bean in the ice-cream eating contest.
We are having a great time too. We think this will have to be an annual event. We can't believe how many of our friends came, we appreciate it so much. And we have had so much fun making new friends of all species.
Scylla spoke with the butterfly and she is indeed one of Daisy's pets. She was looking for Daisy when we told her Daisy was here. I am not sure if they ever found each other. In all honesty I seem to have misplaced Scylla & Charybdis, I am sure they are around here somewhere. I heard them mumbling something about handsome young mancats they wanted to meet.
~Socks
Happy NOMS Day everybody. This is a wonderful party, and just look at all the yummy food.The crab is deeelishus. We will have to ask mum why we never get any at home.

WHERE R THE SUNFLOWER SEEDZ?
Hi Brownie, you will find sunflower seeds at the side of the house at the bird-feeder. There are plenty under the feeder too. Last year we even had a very pretty sunflower come up.
We are so happy everyone is having a good time.
Socks & MoMo are curled up napping in the jungle gym.
Anybody feel like dancing????
~Scylla
I've had my nap. I can dance. I'm real good at hip hop!!
River
Dance? Did we hear the word dance?
A 1, a 3 and a 2.
No, Cameron, it's a 1 anna 2 anna 3! Good going. You're much better at dancing than counting.
Can we have some music now, please?
Hello Alasandra and kitties :)
What a wonderful thing to do...hold a party for NOMS friends!! It's a great party too :o
I think having NOMS friends is a great thing. If only we gould convince the beans to be as friendly as we are :)
Purrs Mickey
O, what a wonnerful party. I love our NOMS friends so much, whatever would do wifout thems.
So much food, so little time....
Love and Purrs,
KC

Hi River those are great moves. Can you show me again please. ~Charybdis
JFF, we have XM radio so whatever music you like we have, just pick a station. We usually listen to Watercolors about now, but that's probably not good dancing music. ~Scylla
We have a surprise for everyone. Some special guest have dropped by. They are fire flies; see the pretty light they make. ~Socks
ML, we are headed to the purrs and prayers bloggie now. ~S, S & C
i'm dancing and shakin folks! River, lets shake our groove things.
Lets ALL shake our groove things. ~Charybdis & Scylla
What a wonderful party! Our favorite was the filet with crabmeat!
Our beans are going to bed (party poopers), but they said we can party into the wee small hours as long as we keep the noise down to a dull roar.
There is still plenty of food left and it's very romantic to walk in the butterfly garden this time of evening.
MoMo want to go for a stroll ~Socks

What a wonderful party this has been! Willow and I loved the seafood spaghetti! It was so nice seeing everyone and we are certainly sending healing purrs to Felix, Jackson, Mr. Hendrix, Moki and all others who need our purrs.
Purrrrrrrrs, China Cat
We are sorry that we missed your party. :( Our silly humans are so busy this week.
We are purring and praying for all those in need.
Katie Too, thank you for coming and helping with the clean up. Boy was Mom surprised when she got up this morning and the house and yard were spotless.
Hi China Cat & Willow, we are so glad you could come.
Dragonheart and Merlin, we are sorry you missed the party but we are very glad you came to see us.
River, you are welcome anytime, although we have to confess the food isn't usually this scrumptious.
~Socks, Scylla & Charybdis
We are delighted to be here at this great party and we must admit your Mom has made some wonderful dishes for us to try. We'll have to ease off the food a bit or we'll be fit to "POP" out of our furs!!
Luv Hannah and Lucy xx xx
We are going to check out the lobster! yum.
We are having a great time and hope Socks is feeling good enough to enjoy some of these treats. Hope he feels better soon.
