Drawing Time for the Raffle!!

 Today is the day! We just did the drawing for the Winnie's Wish Fancy Crocheted Velvet Sofa! 

I will be contacting the winner when I'm done posting the video of the drawing. 

 

 

First I want to say thank you to everyone who entered! Thanks to you we raised $470 for Winnie's Wish!! That's 94 'tickets' sold!! Thank you all for joining in! 

 

 

We really wanted a cat to do the drawing, but we couldn't entice any of them to get up from their naps to help.. So in the end, Greg had to do the picking while I recorded. 

I won't know if this video works or loads right until after I post.. not used to doing videos. :) 

Whether it loads or not, or if you choose not to play it, this winner is...

wait for it..

Congratulations June Campbell! 

The Fancy Crocheted Velvet Sofa will be on it's way ASAP!! 

I want to send a little thank you to Twin2's son, Minion1 (Minion2 makes his/her debut in August) for the use of his Easter Basket. Even though he doesn't know about it yet, lol! Had to use it, it was seasonally fitting. And easy for Greg, with his broken foot, to retrieve! 

Big thank you again to everyone who shared, entered, and supported Winnie's Wish! You all rock!

Feline Floppy Friday and Auction Time

Today we look at the anatomy of a perfect Feline Flop. Glitter will demonstrate, pay close attention.

 

 

Here she shows off the classic, original Flop. Note that her head is flopped at a normal degree over the leg in question. You can see how deeply she is into her flop sleep by the fact that her squished whiskers don't bother her one bit. This is your basic, deep sleep Flop.

 

This is the Flop Over, slightly more advanced than the basic Flop. Her neck is completely stretched out for this flop for maximum floppage. This is a heavy, deep flop. The floppee can expect some numbness and stiffness with the inability to move from this heavy headed flop. You will probably hear snoring. Flop Over is not for the beginner. 

Here's a really advanced, master class Flop. This is the hard to master Flop Under. See the tuck? The chin is in the chest and the foreleg is nearly obscuring the nose. The fur is fluffed out and the snore is greatly increased. Where's the flop in this flop, you might ask? Well she is still flopped on the leg, and the weight of her head is seemingly increased a hundred fold and the floppee has lost all feeling in her toes. This flop should only be attempted by floppers who have mastered the first two Flops. 

Thank you for attending our Feline Flop Master Class. We hope you, too, will be able to Flop with all the dedication, skill and utter abandon that Glitter has demonstrated.

Throwback Thankful Thursday

 This is from March 1st 2018 and it still makes me laugh. Those girls and their grass obsession..

 

~~~~~~~

This Thankful Thursday the girls are thankful for grass! Cat grass, sheesh, what were you thinking? Leo can take it or leave it, and mostly leaves it, but to the girls, seeing a new pot of cat grass is time to celebrate! And by celebrate, I mean eat.


Love this first picture because it shows off Cashmere's floofy pantaloons! (that's just a part in her fur, she's too fluffy for you to see what you think you're seeing!)

Cashmere: A new pot? Ooo fresh! *munch*

Um, girls, I can't see your pretty faces. Turn around?

Glitter: Oh my cod, it IS fresh! *chomp*

Cashmere: I was here first..

There's Cashmere's face! ..with her tongue out.. Glitter, aren't you going to show your face?

Glitter: You lick that half, I get this half.

Cashmere: Half? We'll see..

Hello? Girls? Are you hearing me? Show me your face Glitter!

Glitter: Do you hear something?

Cashmere: Can't hear, eating.

There's your face, Glitter! Hmm, that's some look..

Glitter: This is so good I think I'm going into a grass-trance..

Cashmere: Trance your behind somewhere else then, please. Your big head is hiding too much of my grass.

Glitter: I got my side, you got yours, stop complaining.

Cashmere: My "side"? All sides are my side of the grass!*

Stop fighting over the grass, girls, you're going to...

Glitter: Daddy! Cashmere knocked over the grass again! Come stand it up again!

Cashmere: I can still eat it on it's side.. Almost easier, like when humans eat that yellow stuff on a cob.

Cashmere got a little grass-drunk and took a break. Glitter has no 'full' meter when there's fresh grass. Right Glitter? Glitter? Hello? Still can't hear me with your face in the grass, huh?

Glitter: Doggone daddy.. wont stand it up again. Not my fault he got one that wasn't weighted. Hmm, it is easy to eat like this. Cashmere has the right idea sometimes!

Glitter actually stood it back up all by herself at one point, but I had already put the camera away.. She knocked it back over again.

~~~~~~~~~~

 

Unfortunately we don't do cat grass much anymore. We discovered a correlation between cat grass days and sloppy litter box duty and klingons.. Either they eat too much at one sitting or it just doesnt agree with their digestion. 

 

~~~~~~~~ 

Two more days to get your raffle 'tickets' for the Winnie's Wish Fancy Crocheted Velvet Sofa! Including today of course. It ends Friday at midnight EDT! Winner drawn Saturday so be sure to get in on it before time runs out!! 

Please share about it, help support the Wishers by spreading the word!

Attack of the Lazy Fluff Monster!

 It lurks on the floor... Waiting... Always waiting.. 

 

 

You're just walking along... happily minding your own business..

 

 

Then......

 

 

AHHHHHHHH!! Attack!!!!!!!

 

 

Cashmere: So... If I walk by you, you're gonna whap at me? 

Glitter: And wrap my paws around you and maybe even nibble! Bwhahahahaha!

Cashmere: Ok... What if I go the other way then? 

Glitter: Um... I'll wait. 

Cashmere: See ya! 

Glitter: ...... 

 

Glitter: I think she's coming back later.. right? Who doesn't want to be attacked by The Floofinator!  

Mom: Aw, I'd take an attack by your sweet puffy paws!

Glitter: hee hee! rawr! Well, come here!

Yes, it's true. I have the laziest players/attackers ever. If it can't be caught while laying on their back, then it can't be caught! Look at that sweet face on Glitter, you know you want that attack. Go ahead, get closer!

Leo's Tenth Gotcha Day! And Raffle Starts!

 Here's one of those first images I had of him.. My sweet baby boy! Little Giant Footsies!

 

 

 

Not much later than that first picture, he was growing and turning into a real house kitten.

 

 

And then, his final Winnie's Wish Cat House picture, looking like a junior high year book picture, half grown into a sleek and furry darling boy. 9 months old he was, and handsome with it.

 

Chrystal had rescued him, tamed his feral little heart, and then entrusted him to me!We drove far to get him, Chrystal drove far to get him to me. We met and little hearts and flowers spewed from our heads. Love at first sight! 

He rode on my shoulder, didn't want to let go of me. In his new home, he made little impression on his new fur sister, Star, but he was firmly attached to me from the start. He cried when he lost sight of me while exploring, I'd call him and go looking and he'd come running, mewing as if to say, 'hey you got lost! Don't do that!'

Ten years later, I'm still in love with my furry baby. He's still stuck on attached to me (I'm having trouble typing because he's leaning on my arm and I don't want to disturb him) 

Ten years!!! Say it ain't so! I don't want him to be getting older! I want him to stay my baby! Well, he is my baby.. but I don't want him to age anyway!

For his birthday he will be allowed as much nip as his little heart desires. And he's a nip head so I'm concerned for my good nip supply.. He will get all the cuddles he wants and even his favorite snack (even though he's only mildly into snacks in the first place..)

 

 

I'm so grateful to Chrystal of Winnie's Wish for giving me my heart cat and I'm honored to be her chief fundraiser! It just feels right to me to kick off the Fancy Crocheted Velvet Sofa Raffle on Leo's Gotcha day! 

                      (please take and share the banners, help spread the word!)

I put the full information on the Winnie's Wish Auction site, but here's the run down: 

Either use the donate button here on my side bar, or on the Winnie's Wish Auction site, or go to paypal and look for my email address: anniclan@aol.com under my husbands name, Greg Piskula and donate $5 for each ticket you want. Put the word SOFA in the comment/note section. If you can, please use the 'send to a friend' option to save on fees.  

You get one entry for every $5. If you donate $10, two entries. Donate 15, three entries, and so on! 

This starts today!! And ends April 2, at midnight EDT. On April 3rd, a winner will be drawn!

Every bit of your donation/entry will go to Winnie's Wish to help the 32 Wishers living there!

Thank you everyone! 

And one final.. I love you, Leo the Chinese Lion! Happy Gotcha Day baby boy!!

Thankful Thursday with Cashmere

 *whispering* Cashmere would like to tell you that she's thankful for boxes, but she can't because she's too busy napping on this one. I'd like to say that I'm thankful that her little black toe beans are showing and you can see how velvety black the bottom of her paws are! Adorable right?! Oh oh, and her cinnamon belly furs! Even the underside of her tail is cinnamon!

PS. Tomorrow the raffle starts for the Fancy Crocheted Velvet Sofa! (But to those of you who have sent early, we'll count that and make sure you're in the drawing!)

Three Cat Window

 Check it out!

Leo: (On the ham-mick/box with the ears of annoyance) If I ignore them, they aren't here and I still get the breeze.

Glitter: (In the middle) This is awesome, why was this closed for so long? Oo what was that? Someone passed by, I can smell them! 

Cashmere: (on the right also sporting ears of annoyance) So many new smells, maybe I'll just sit here and listen for a while before looking.. Maybe I'll get it all to myself soon and can look freely from my, I mean, the ham-mick.

 

 

To be honest, I'm not sure those are real ears of annoyance or ears of listening to all the cool night sounds. No one was really grumpy and they were all together, something we're seeing lots more lately and that I love! 

~~~~~~~~~~

 

 I put all the raffle information on the Winnie's Wish Auction site. We're not doing an auction, but I thought it was a good place to keep the information where it stays on top and is easy to find. 

It starts this Friday and helps the kitties of Winnie's Wish, so please check out our very first raffle!

Please feel free to take and share the above banners! Help us spread the word!
