An Award

Karen Jo was kind enough to give me this wonderful award. Thank you so much, Karen Jo. Here are the rules:

"This blog invests and believes the PROXIMITY - nearness in space, time and relationships! These blogs are exceedingly charming. These kind bloggers aim to find and be friends. They are not interested in prizes or self-aggrandizement. Our hope is that when the ribbons of these prizes are cut, even more friendships are propagated. Please give more attention to these writers! Deliver this award to eight bloggers who must choose eight more and include this cleverly-written text into the body of their award."

I would like to pass this award along to:

• Jan and the Funny Farm
• Miles & Sammy Meezer, Billy SweetFeets
• Zoolatry
• Moki
• Beau
• Castle Pants
• Miss Peach
• Niko & Cloud

Another Award...

... this from Castle and extra-special because it is reviving an award created by his sister, Storm, the Furry Fighter. You can read all about Storm creating her award here.

We are passing this on to Moki & Mom Crystal, Beau & Mom Cathy and Uncle Mo aka Not The Mama because they are unselfish and caring and would do anything to help another.

Thank you so much, Castle.

Storm published this 16 Dec 2007, exactly one year ago today, on her blog...

Life is an opportunity, benefit from it.
Life is beauty, admire it.
Life is bliss, taste it.
Life is a dream, realize it.
Life is a challenge, meet it.
Life is a duty, complete it.
Life is a game, play it.
Life is a promise, fulfill it.
Life is sorrow, overcome it.
Life is a song, sing it.
Life is a struggle, accept it.
Life is a tragedy, confront it.
Life is an adventure, dare it.
Life is luck, make it.
Life is too precious, do not destroy it.
Life is life, fight for it.

An Award

Thank you so much, Diamond, for the Caring Cat Lady Award.
And to receive it along with Not The Mama and 40 Paws! Wow!

The kitties meowed and mewed and finally decided on these three for the award:

* DKM, who probably knits/crochets Snuggles in her sleep, for providing hundreds of lonely, frightened shelter kitties with a bit of love and warmth;

* Artsy-Catsy's Mom Sharolyn, always fund raising and helping those in need;

* The Zoolatry Human for unselfishly using her talent to make each and every cat and critter feel special with personalized graphics.

It was really difficult, there were so many choices.
This award is too cool and such a wonderful idea.
Thank you again, Diamond.

The rules are:

• This award is for the humans - not the cats - so remember to give it to the humans.
• Link back to the furson who gave it to you.
• The felines in the family then get to pass it on to three other crazy caring cat ladies (or not ladies, as the case may be).
• Be sure to leave a link on the other cats' blogs to let them know their human persons have won an award.
• HERE is the link to the small size award (200 pxl) to put on your side bar.
  

Thankful Thursday

We received this beautiful award from The Taylor CatSSSSS.
Thank you so much!
We would like to pass this on to Artsy Catsy, Jack of All Shades & Shadows (KC's handsome cat boyfurriend), Mr. Hendrix, and Storm, the Furry Fighter.

We are very thankful that Margaret will have the [hopefully] last out-patient surgery today (for a kidney stone).
Please send purrs and purrayers.

I am so thankful for the kitties, they are always full of surprises.
For instance, this big mail envelope was on the floor.
I bent over to pick it up, thinking it was empty.
It was much heavier than it looked, so I tugged and this little face pops out.
And how could I forget Faith Boo in the Dasini box!

Thank you, Anonymous Angel for paying the vet fees for Dancer's surgery.

Thank you, Zoolatry, for re-designing Cat Furriends of CB,
the blog Deb and I use for auctions for cats in need.
What a difference!

Former Feral Friday & Award

Missy has started sleeping up on the cabinets to avoid the kittens.
Almost got a sequence of her descent...

...wish my camera (and I) had been quick enough to get more!
Here she is, getting ready to go to sleep beside me on the desk.

This award was created by Sweet Ariel : "I was talking to mom recently about creating an award. Everyone knows someone who goes beyond. A person who always helps others, always has a kind word, a person with a heart of gold. So I told mom I wanted to make an award we could give to those we think deserve it."
She gave to Marilyn, who in turn passed it on to Miss Peach who presented it to us. Thank you so much. We are very honored to receive this beautiful award.
In turn, we pass it on to Auntie Deb (The Taylor CatSSSSS), Mo (Not The Mama), the adorable Daisy, the Hotties and The Lady (owned by Grr, Midnight, Cocoa, Rascal & Riley).

Friday / Saturday

Thursday 4/3 was our Second Blogoversary!


Theo's Secret:
Beau found four adult Green Wall Shelter Squillions
and a small litter of Squillion Kittens.
They will be offered on auction soon, so keep checking Beau's blog.
The bidding should be fast and furious,
as adult Squillions are very hard -- impossible -- to find.
The money raised will go for Moki and Lilly Lu's vet bills.
