Happy Memorial Day!

 Happy Memorial Day! And a huge thank you to those who serve, who have served, and especially to those who gave all in service! 

 

Leo: Thank you!

 

~~~~~~~~~~~

It's the 31st, that means, as promised, this is the last day I'm going to bug you all about Chrystal's Birthday Package Party!

If you've joined in already, THANK YOU!! If you haven't, please consider it! As little as $5 can help the kitties of Winnie's Wish! 

Remember the three ways to help: 

Go to Chrystal's Blog, Daily Dose of Dogs AKA Cats With Your Coffee and use her donate button

Go to the Winnie's Wish Amazon Wish List and send something, or several somethings

Use the donate button on my sidebar and I will combine your money with others who've shared and send as big a package as I can

We can make this an awesome birthday day month for Chrystal who has been working to rescue and save kitties for oh so long (way longer than I've been around and I've been here over 10 years now!) so please, if you can, join in! 

(of course, just because the package party ends today doesn't mean you can't help later! ;) the need is always there, and always great with so many Wishers needing daily care!)

Thank you again, and we loves you all!!!

Overly Late Caturday Art

 Ok, so I'm a day late... I kept thinking all day that I better get this done or I'd never get it posted on Caturday, and.. well you see how well that turned out. I still wanted to do it because I wanted to play with Cashmere's pretty picture from last Sunday's selfie. I used lunapic and had fun with it!

Just a few more days until I stop talking about the Chrystal's Birthday Package Party! Still time to get in on the fun!

I'm hoping that together we can make this a birthday to remember by supplying the Winnie's Wishers with so many packages and donations that she doesn't have to worry about where the next week's litter and food and oh so many other things is going to come from. Every bit helps! Like I said, even $5 helps, it's like ten cans of food, and when you combine it with other $5 donations it can really add up! 

You can see THIS POST for all the details but basically there are three ways to help:Donate on the sidebar of her Daily Dost Blog, Use the Amazon Wish List, Or use the donate button here on my blog and I will combine your donation with other donations to make a big order on amazon. I will be sending my Wish List order after the 1st to make sure I've given anyone who wants to give this way the chance to do so by the end of the month, which is Monday. :) 

(whenever possible, use the 'send to a friend' option on paypal because then they don't take any fees out and more pennies and dollars go to the kitties, if that doesn't work when using the donate button (havent tested it) then feel free to send to me using my email anniclan AT aol DOT com, thank you!)

Please share the last few days of our Package Party! And a huge thank you to those who already have!

Throwback Thursday

 Today's Throwback comes from May 8th, 2012. A fitting post seeings as today is Chrystal's birthday!! Happy Birthday Chrystal!! 

fyi, I did not have the girls yet, just Leo and Star. So when I'm talking about Leo being included, so are the girls! 

 ~

Looky Looky I Got A Booky! 

I did! I got my book! The bestest book in the world! Know why? Because my dear friend Chrystal wrote it!!! And it's about ANIMALS! And that means CATS!! And do you know what's even better than a book about CATS?? A book that has MY cat in it!

That's right! Leo the Chinese Lion makes his entry into Chrystal's Rescue near the end of the book! My kitty, my heart cat, my sweet snuggly baby boy is FAMOUS! He's in print! He's the handsome hero at the end of the book that gets rescued and gets to live happily ever after with ME!

Ok, it might be the pain drugs still talking.. but I'm seriously excited about this!!!! And I'm not the only one!

Wow! Look Winnie's on the cover! *I* am a Winnie's Wish Kitty!

This the most awesomest bestest book EVER!!

What? You want to read it? What ARE you on? This MY copy, get your own!

Seriously Leo?? Little brat! I'll read it while you're sleeping... Or I'll read it to you! that'll work!


But you people can get your own copy! And when you do, part of the moneys for it go to help the rescue kitties! Kitties like Leo!
Go to Chrystal's site to see about it, Daily Dose of Dogs (aka Cats with Your Coffee) (this post talks about the book)
And go HERE to get the book! Yes, you can get it from amazon, but then the kitties only get half of the money they'd get if you went straight to the publisher!

And seriously, see the size of it? It's super thick and really big! (remember Leo's a giant cat) So aside from being a great book about a great subject writen by a great woman, it's a great value pound for pound! :D

 ~

 See why it's fitting? Chrystal's book, and today is Chrystal's birthday! Yeah, I know you got that already. ;) And yes, you can still get the book! And yes, buying one (or multiples!) helps the wishers!

So you know what I'm sharing next! Still time to get in on the Chrystal's Birthday Package Party! I"m planning on running the banner through the end of the month! And I'm holding off on using the funds sent to me already until then also, then I will make a big package from all the donations that came to my paypal for just this purpose! (use the donate button on my sidebar for that)

You can also send donations to the donate button on the Daily Dose blog, Chrystal's blog, to send cash which help with vet bills, meds, and other things the wish list doesn't cover. Also, there's a link to the Wish List to send your very own package! 

Please join in and do what you can to make this a wonderful package party! Like I said yesterday, even $5 helps! And share share share! Thank you!!

Wordless Wednesday With Leo and Glitter

 

~~~~~~~~~

I hope you've all seen the Chrystal's Birthday Package Party by now! 

And I hope you have, or plan to join in! 

It doesn't take much! Even $5 would be a help! $5 could get about ten can's of cat food! If you combine your $5 with other people's $5 it really adds up! Some people have already sent me money to combine into a large package purchase on the Wish List, if you want to get in on this joint package, please use the donate button on my sidebar! (or paypal to anniclan AT aol DOT com, send as a friend and paypal doesn't take a fee!) 

Details are on THIS POST, check it out if you haven't yet! And don't forget to share!

Sunday Selfie with Cashmere

 How is it possible that sometimes I forget just how pretty Cashmere is? She posed beautifully for her selfie this week and I think she's swoon-worthy, so watch out mancats out there! 

Cashmere: Let me mesmerize you with my two tone green eyes and blow kisses with my little puckered grey lipstick, and if that's not enough, there's a marking on my forehead so you know just where to kiss me!

~~~~~~~~

Please don't forget about Chrystal's Birthday Package Party! It's so close to the end of the month, but we can start sending stuff now! Let's make sure she's got lots of packages for the Wishers by the time her birthday arrives! 

Details can be found on THIS POST, but basically lets use the Winnie's Wish Wish List and send packages, or use the donate button on her blog, Daily Dose of Dogs AKA Cats With Your Coffee, or use the donate button on my sidebar and I will pool all the money sent here to get a large package from the wish list sent to her! 

Feel free to use the banners!

Sunday Selfie With Leo

 

Leo: I'm up for a Sunday Selfie today! Here I'm practicing my "there's a horrible serial killer behind you" look. Of course all you cats know we do this to freak out our humans, heh heh, it works so well!

 

 Leo: I have to include this profile shot from the same day. I'm still giving the stare at invisible horrors. Pretty good focus, huh? 

 

 ~~~~~~~~~~~~

I hope you all saw the other day when I posted about Chrystal's upcoming birthday. Chrystal is the amazing lady behind the Winnie's Wish Cat Rescue and Sanctuary and her birthday is at the end of this month. I am asking anyone who can to join in on a Package Party! 

All you have to do is go to the Winnie's Wish Wish List and send something to help out the Wishers, thus making for a very happy birthday for Chrystal! 

This is starting now, you don't have to wait til the end of the month! Let's have a whole string of packages start arriving right away! 

Feel free to use the banner above, or the side bar banner below, to share the Package Party! 

All the details are on my previous post, HERE

 

Ways to help include sending wish list items, making a donation using the donate button on Chrystal's Blog, or using the donation button on my blog and I will combine all donations that come here to a big order on the wish list. 

 

 Thank you!

Weird and Wordy Wednesday and a Wild Idea!

Ok, someone help me here... Can anyone tell what is exactly happening here, is this even possible? Has Leo slipped into some sort of fifth dimention where nothing has to make sense? Or did someone fail to read the assembly instructions correctly and.. well.. this is the result.

 

 

 

Ok wait, lets try a different picture from a different angle..

Still no thoughts? Here, let me label the parts I think I understand..

I forgot to label the tail, but it's that fluffy thing across the top and down the left side of the picture, the thing the one visible back paw is tucked into. 

So what the heck?!?! Leo without a face! Without... well, without any kind of proper alignment that I can see! I'm not sure how this happened, but there's a picture so it must have, somehow, some otherworldly way, happened.. 

Leo has been silent on the subject! Any questions about it are met with bored expressions, or is that disdain at my complete lack of understanding of how felines work? Either way, I'm looking for super glue and duct tape, just in case he requires reassembling!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Oh have I got an idea! 

Chrystal, you know Chrystal, the wonderful person who runs the Winnie's Wish Cat Rescue and Sanctuary, the darling lady who gave me my three precious kitties after rescuing them from a feral situation and trained them in the arts of twisting humans around their little paws, yes, that Chrystal! Chrystal is having a birthday this month! May 27th to be precise! And what does that have to do with you, you might ask? Go ahead. Ask. 

Thank you! Let me tell you what it has to do with you! 

I am thinking we could have a Birthday Package Party! 

 

 

But we can't have a big party, haven't you heard of this little pandemic we're having, you might ask. Go ahead. Ask. 

Oh don't worry! This is a party where the gifts all get together, but the people stay home! 

What kind of gifts.. Ok, don't ask, I'll just tell you. (thankful that I abandoned that plot tool? I thought so) 

The thing Chrystal likes most of all is when she gets Wish List items or donations for the Wishers! 

So I'm asking that anyone who can, go to the Winnie's Wish Amazon Wish List and send something! 

 

Or, use the donation button on her blog, Daily Dose of Dogs AKA Cats With Your Coffee! 

 

Or use the donate button on my sidebar and I will pool all the donations received and send stuff from the Wish List! 

There is a way for everyone who can to help a wonderful Rescue run by a wonderful lady that makes some wonderful kitties wonderfully happy! 

Please take the banner above, or the smaller one below, and post it on your blog to help spread the word. Whether you can send something or not, spreading the word helps a lot too! I'll be posting about this through the end of the month, so please consider how you can help!

 

Thank you for your time! And don't forget to wish Chrystal a Happy Birthday on the 27th!
