My diary, by Mr D.

Guess who I got to meet today......

I finally got to met the one and only TYSON

Tyson

He's one famous cat here, not only does he do therapy work, making so many peoples days a little brighter. He has also been photographed by a famous pet photographer. Tyson and his family feature in the book 'Why dogs are better than cats"
So he's pretty famous in here New Zealand...... not to mention on Catster too.

There is a photo of me saying hello,
The photo
I can't believe he came to visit me, I'm so honoured.
I better run lots to do. Purrs For now

BTW if you haven’t' checked out Tysons page you should. Check out all the pawsome things he has done. And all the cool photos, he's been Donkey riding, ridden bikes, all sorts.

Meowwwww... THANK YOU EVERY FUR

Meow... thank you so much for voting for me. I'm in shock that I'm there in the finals. There were some pawsome photos. I kind of feel a little guilty too. As we can't win any prizes I hope we haven't taken that opportunity away from some other deserving kitty.

We have entered before in the last two years but never ever got into the finals. It was always fun just to show off our photos. So to have two in this years finals is such a shock.

So I just wanted to say a huge thank you and big whisker kisses from me purrs Mr D. I'm jumping around telling everyone here. I'm top I'm top, top of the family. Hee hee.

One thing I noticed for this year. There wasn't that much advertising and we didn't get cats entering that just joined Catster just to enter the competition then never post again. Also previous years we would have to be aware of fake cats (stolen photos). I noticed there wasn't really any of that this year. Which was great, BUT the numbers were down in the entries. The human almost managed to vote for every cat, I think there were almost 2900 entries. It was a bummer she had a lot of work and spent most of that time out of the country (unable to get to a catputer). We are just going to have to be a little more prepared for next year.

My family and I, would to take the opportunity to conCATulate all the finalist.

There were some amazing photos there and we have enjoyed looking over them all and voting. I would like to congratulate those that entered too. As you all had pawsome shots which all equalled precious memories. Each having a story to tell. We totally enjoyed looking over them all and reading all the stories. Laughing at many of the captions, they were precious and really added to the photos. That’s maybe why it took us days and days to get through the votes we did do.

I wish every the best and good luck to all the finalist.

Meow .... I just learnt something.

I just read an article on trying to stop cats spraying around the house.

In that article it had a list of things to have in your kits for when things like that happen.

If you are like us, occasionally the humans goes around on her hands and knees smelling the room (this is if she thinks she gets a hint of a pee smell)
Furmum Raza has been known to put her sent around the place especially at this time of the year (it's spring here and the Toms are roaming)

Anyway one of the things in the kit is........

A BLACK LIGHT

Well I never. The human said she should have known that, as she has seen it on TV a few times. Apparently the black light will show up urine (even old ones)

Well the humans off today to buy one, she said it may be handy just to have in the house. It'll save all those hours on the floor sniffing everywhere.
Or she follows us around to see if WE sniff any area, as we are pretty good at spotting things like that.
It doesn't happen that often, but it does happen at least once a year. Hee hee this year Raza got the humans trousers that were hanging on the door. Long story on that one, your have to see Sam's diary for that story. Hee hee.
