Formerly Feral Friday

Hi there! Cecilia here! I got a cool award from our furriend Penny at Cat of Nine Tales ! Now I don't live on an island but I do know of one cat who truly does think I'm a princess. ::blush::

My Madison likes to watch me walking around and he cares about everything I do. My mom thinks I'm pretty too, so while she got bored from doing her real assignments for her photoshop class...she played around a bit with all the filters and colors and came up with a fun picture of Madison watching over me. She says this makes me artsy fartsy.

Madison here! I just think she's purrty.

Pee Ess...before we forget, we want to pass along this award to the true island princess we all know and love....Zoey! Zoey you have probably received this a kazillion times, but oh well.

Many Thanks Monday

Thank you to Maggy and Zoey and most of all Ann from Zoolatry for getting me in the holiday spirit! I had just posed for a new picture for my header, but that will now wait until after the holidays.

Ms. Diamond has given me this really special award. Here it is and below is a description of what it means.

"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."

We really appreciate it because I began writing about my family as a way of sharing the special friendships we have. It's also a way to memorialize those who have come before. In the process we have been lucky enough to meet many new and fine friends along the way. It's been very special.

In addition we want to acknowledge the other awards that have been kindly given to us in the past week. We are a bit overwhelmed getting 4 different awards almost at once. Here they are:

Samantha and Mr. Tigger gave us the Butterfly award.

Kiddo, Poetikat, and The Real Cats gave us the Lemonade award.

Tristan Tabby Cat Longtail gave us the I Love Your Blog award.

Diamond Emerald Eyes is right, we do it for the love of our family and our friends. We are honored to have met so many wonderful cats and their humans along the way. We will focus now on passing along the Proximity award.

As I look out the window and think on this snowy day, I'd like to pass along the Proximity award to those kitty bloggers that we think are exceedingly charming.

I'm passing this along to:

The Real Cats

Forever Foster

Victor Vampy Cat-Stud muffin

Sumac Stories

Whicky Wuudler

Whimpurrs Whim (Redfurd and Prince charm the socks off of us!)

Thankful Thursday

Me getting the news!

Oh my! After getting over my initial shock, my whole family is very grateful that our good friends, The Real Cats, Gibbs Creek have given us this award. We are so grateful for meeting them because they are a family like ours, 7 kitties and a doggie...fostering a few others along the way now and then. Go see them if you haven't at The Real Cats.

So now the funny part. We have been asked to post this cool award on my bloggie, and then nominate 10 other kitty bloggies for the award too. Since we all believe in the demo-cattic process here, I've asked my family for their votes. While we were thinking 2 other kitties gave us the same award! Grete did the math and she says that means we have to give this to 30 kitties! I'm thinking that I haven't even been to visit that many kitties yet! So...then we thought some more about giving the award and those that we were going to give it to beat us to the punch! What's a kitty to do? We'll just go with the 10 that came to mind first. Thank you to ManxMnews and Whimpurr's Whim for beating us to the punch!

So here's the results of the family vote:

Grete votes for: Camies Kitties because they have a doggie too!

Ellie votes for: Meezer Tails because she's a meezer and Mickey because he reminds her of our Lewis and we wished he lived to be 15.

Bennette votes for: ManxMnews because she's a tuxie too. And Bennette doesn't care that they beat us to the punch.

Ginger votes for: Tabbylicious for the same reason Bennette voted for ManxMews

Jonesie and Madison got together and vote for: Gandalf and Grayson because grey cats got to stick together

Cecilia can't make up her mind...she says all kitty blogs deserve an award just like every cat deserves a good home.

And I vote (me Cory) for: Forever Foster because my momma and I lived in foster care too, William of Mass Destruction because he reminds me of Lewis and Turkey Cats, because I love turkey too!

And we cast 7 votes for Chey for President!
