Good bye "Yogi And Furriends"???

Good Grumpy Afternoon!

I was really sorry for the post on my fan page Yogi And Furriends last week.
Lemme explain about my bijiness furst.

Unlike most cat/dog fan pages. My fan page, this blog, Twitter, Instagram even Yogi shop
at Etsy, are all taken cared by my manager, not my owner. OK?
and it all started not for profit for anyone, but simply because my manager thought I was very unique,
and would be very popular. also she was an artist with college degree, said she gets inspired by me
a lot for her art work.

My manager is currently stay at home mom with a child purrson,
she was from other country, far away from her furrmily, 
no grandma or any relatives around to ask for help with her child purrson's care,
can not work outside home at this time.
My Momsy (Owner) gave her purrmission to create and sell my merchandise. 

When she started selling my merchandise, she told momsy to give her part of the sales
money, momsy said not necessary, but manager did not think OK to receive 100% of
sales (since I am not her cat), she thought she should spend the part of  money for something
to make my momsy happy, and decided to give to needy animals.
(that's why we offer pledges and make donation with my name). 

My Momsy cares about animals a lot,
that's why my page often bring the animal related posts,
ask you guys for help spreading, signing to petition, and
Start the discussion about animal related issue. 
I was a homeless cat in shelter once,
but now I have a home with a purrson who takes care of me,
then it's my turn to help others. 

This is what happened about my page last week...
2-3 weeks ago,
suddenly my Momsy told my manager to close Yogi and Furriends,
Manager kept ignoring as long as she could,
opened my page daily as usual.
did not respond to Momsy for few days,
but she learned that Momsy was still saying her to close my page
last week. my manager did not want to argue with her, so
simply did what momsy said.
let me say "good bye" to fans.
then you guys started saying "NO".

So Momsy changed mind, did not allow my page to be closed.
that was wonderful that many of you let her know you cared about  my page.
ShanQ, I really appreciated.


My page will be on FB forever,
my manager has already been training her child purrson(10 yr old)
teaching her how to post photos on my page, my dialogue
(such as "Good Grumpy Morning!), child purrson wants to design
Yogi merchandise too.

I'm prejident, need social media like FB fan page to hear people's voice.



I know many of you admire my Momsy a lot, 
but when you feel she is doing wrong, please tell her so.
she won't hate you with your honest opinion.


ShanQ for your support.

How to Report disturbing images to FB

Good grumpy Morning,

My fan page on FB Yogi and Furriends has been talking about animal abuse/torture
articles on FB lately,

Just few hours ago, we posted something bad again.
I am terribly sorry, but couldn't help doing something.
I at least reported few disturbing images.. and today I saw new feature on report form.

FB now let us report animal abuse/torture, here is how.

when you see a photo you want to report, click the photo to see enlarge, see at the bottom for option,
then "report a photo" in the option tub, you will see this report form appear on screen,
check "I think it shouldn't be on Facebook"

then on the next page of report form, check "something else"

then check "this shows gore or bodily harm"(animal abuse/torture included)
then clickto submit.


It does not guarantee FB to remove all photos from our report, but
try.

I hope this helpful.

Mimsy

Good Grumpy Morning!!

As many of you might have heard,  one of my roommates "Mimsy has gone on Jan 29, 2015
She was 14 yr old, older than me, had no eyeball, blind.
very smart and furriendly cat.
I am gonna post her pics here today.

Eester 2012. she was fine

XXX'mas 2011, I think

2010 oneday Momsy had an idea to give her eyes
 *sorry if this offend anyone, but momsy(my owner) just  placed the eye ball on her face, not glued on her face.
Mimsy and Tink



Mimsy , Hattie and Milton


Mimsy, Hattie and  me 



 Mimsy was this big in 2011-2012, as you see in the picture above (with me on sofa)
 But look at her in her recent photo with me (taken few weeks ago) below, can you see
 how small she was? I think Momsy said Mimsy was 4 lbs or so in the last month.





Mimsy, Hattie, Tink and me


Mimsy and me (I was grumpy)



Mimsy and me

Mimsy liked to play with a ball.

Many people were impressed by this video that she drops the ball to
the downstair, and finds the ball by herself, then picks up, takes to the upstair
and do the same thing again. (*Again she was blind)

This Video was viewed even by the Cat Fancy magazine,
and they gave her compliment.

Me told Cat Fancy about Mimsy



She was a good cat, we all will miss her, RIP Mimsy.
ShanQ for loving her. Pleaes remember her always.

Breakfast At Tiffany's With Yogi

2015 Happy Meow Year to you!!

Good Grumpy New year!!
As many of you might remember, my manager had started painting of my portrait in October, 2014,
and it took nearly 2 months (20x20 big), By the time it was done, we had nothing else prepared for
selling as Holiday Yogi merchandise!!!
designed quickly photo calendar, then as some fans requested, we started designing
"Yogi  Funny photo calendar".
( I mean  we have Classic photo calendar and Funny photo calendar for 2015).
 We have designed some new funny pics for calendar, and picked some from our previous work
 (as seen on Yogi and Furriends in 2011-2014).
We're happy with new designs, and would like to show you some.

We did something new- got me on time machine and sent me back to the 60's, and 70's .
then I was in the Movie "Breakfast at Tiffany's" !!
In my calendar, it is called
"Breakfast At Tiffany's with Yogi".
lets see "Breakfast at Tiffany's with Yogi"

The cat in the movie is me!!


Our Funny pic calendar for January,
Audrey is wearing our best selling item
The Yogi sleep mask, and Yogi necklace.

I played as a comforter for her.



Again, I played as a comforter for her in the movie!

 I am not sure if it is a Romantic movie or Scary movie.

Anyway, the Funny pic calendar is available for purchase. (but only 2 left)

(Classic calendar is all sold out.)

O yah, and from the sales of my calendar, we have sent $50 donation to NYC rescues
(for homeless dogs/cats).

Yogi And Furriends in Bailando with Enrique Igresias

Good Grumpy Afternoon!!
Yes,
as many of you might have seen it already on FB,
I have made a very first Meosic video,
I wanted to make Music/Video for more varieties of entertainment,
but just didn't know how.

Recently My furriend, a singer in Egypt, was talking about new song of Enrique Igresias.
He talked about it a lot, so I checked it out,

I watched the music video of the song by Enrique, then noticed
Hey, there was a contest for making own video with the song.
then I got an idea

- Hey, we should make one with cats!!
and we did!!


Yogi And Furriends in Bailando with Enrique Igresias



The furriends seen on this video are:
Tom Sawyer (sphynx)
Tuna Martin from Acrocats (cat circus)
Hattie

XXXSpecial Shanks to Enrique for this opportunity,
'cause using promotion music video/song from professional recording artists
seem illegal even to make some fun video
 (You Tube is grumpy about it).
But Officially Enrique allowed fans to use his music video/song
for the contest.


I hope you'll like it.

He can eet anything!!

Good Grumpy Morning!!
My people had been very busy, still busy for making Yogi bag.
customers told us to make some other new merchandise too,
so now making bags and desiging new merchandise, then updating
Yogi and furriends on FB, and hosting Twitter daily.
that's the excuse of why we did not update this blog for months.

Anyway, today I'd like to introduce one of my furriends from Japan.
He has been on this blog before as the cat who eets strawberries.
The cat who enjoys eeting strawberries.
He can eet anything!!


It is cute and healthy to eet fruits, but this boy actually eets some non-food items as well.
that's scary, he lives with 2 humans (1 man, 1 woman) and elderly feline roommate, and
both his humans have daytime jobs. they are usually not at home daytime on weekdays.
then he probably acts like what Tom & Jerry do whien humans are not around.
He went to the vet for emergency twice in 2014, first it was in January, then
he was taken to yesterday also.
why? because he ate something not considered "food".
his humans were not really sure but they said this rag seemed the victim,
some knot parts were gone.
can you see? the knot parts were gone?

this is scary, imagine your cats eet something not food when you were away, then
hen you get home, and see your cats,
they look quiet, less active, not like how they usually are.
but you don't know what happened to them. it sure is scary, and frustrating.
This boy often eets strenji stuff.
toilet papers.

curtains

potty seat
Bananas( not riped as you see)

cherry

Spray that pets can feel bitter taste when they lick, his owners use this
but does not work very well 



How can his humans teach him what is OK to eet, and what is Not OK to eet?
if anyone has experience with cats like him, and has any tips/ideas.
please wtrite comments to this blog,
or comments or write on wall on Yogi And Furriends page on FB.
