Rosette Fun!

Meowmi hasn't let us play on Catster much the past couple of years -- she says she has trouble finding her way around since they redid the site awhile back. But the last couple of days we've been back on and sending rosettes and playing in our groups -- what fun!! Received a Red Rose rosette yesterday from Fave, who is Cat of the Week this week - we had sent him a Crown to congratulate him for his honor. And today I received a yummy Shrimp rosette from Rosco, who we know from the AFF Group. That rosette was for the Pay It Forward Thread in the AFF Group. Such fun! I'm going to have to be on Meomi's case to let us play on Catster every day like we used to! Or else, or else. . . I'll sit on her face!! Meow-ha-ha!!

I'm a Winner!!!

Woo-hoo! I won the prize for Day 1 of the 12 Days of Catmas giveaway, and it came in the mail today! Meowmi saw a package on the porch when she got home from work & wondered what it was . . . she brought it in & saw it was from Skeezix!! And opening it up she found a copy of the "Cat Lover's Daily Companion" . . . and a bonus package of catnip!! AND a great Christmas card featuring Elf Skeezix!! What a fun day for us!! Meowmi's already started reading the "Daily Companion" to us! Meow!!!

Thanks, Catster!

I'm honored that Catster remembered my birthday today! I'd practically forgotten it myself, now that I'm practically an Olde Furt at the ripe old age of two! MOL!!

A Star Is Born!

Meowmi got a start this morning (actually I guess it'd be yesterday morning by now!) when she logged in to Catster & saw the photo of me with Anna's kittens in the top left corner of the main Catster page! But it only stayed for a moment, as the photo for the featured article by Dr. Barchas on "1 Litter, Multiple Fathers?" Hehehe -- she was a bit shocked by the thought that I had a furmily I was hiding from her - but then she remembered they were Anna's kittens, and I was only kitsitting!

Proposed Vet Services Tax in California

Meowmi said I should write in my journal about the proposed sales tax on veterinary services in California. She wants people to call the Governator to voice their displeasure with the tax. . .

Personally I'm not so sure I disapprove. . . if it gets passed, maybe I won't have to go to the vet anymore!! MOL!! Oh well, I suppose there are times I should go, but it really is MOST undignified!

Here're the instructions for calling the Governator:

* Call the Governor’s office at 916-445-2841.
* Select your language choice.
* Press “5″ to leave your opinion on a current issue.
* Press “1″ to select the issue of extending the sales tax to veterinary services.
* Press “2″ to “oppose” the Veterinary Services Tax proposal.

Happy Australia Day!

Woo-hoo! It's Australia Day! Although I'm not an Australian kitty, I'm named after Bondi Beach, close to Sydney, so I feel I have a right to celebrate! Meowmi's actually acting a bit cranky about it 'cause she shoulda been in Australia now for work, but ended up not getting to go. . . I'd feel sorry for her, but I wouldn't get to go in any case, so why should she?! She wasn't even named after a n Australian vacation spot like I was!

Update. . .

No word yet on my missing brofur Jaxxson (aka Trevi). Our foster meowmi took our canine foster brofur Duke up to look for him, but no luck. *** sad purrrs *** I just hope someone nice took him in. . . when Meowmi heard about him she took me to get a microchip, even though I don't go outside.

Jaxxson is lost!

Oh no! I just heard from my foster meowmi Mewlinda that my littermate Trevi, aka Jaxxson, slipped out the door at his home in Saugus, California, and has not been seen in a couple of weeks!! I do hope he's ok! Perhaps some Catster who lives up that direction will find him.

Tagged!

I've been tagged by the lovely Clara. I must write 7 things about myself and then tag 7 other cats with a pmail or rosette. . .

Let's see, what can I say about myself?

1. I am named after Bondi Beach in Australia, close to Sydney.

2. My Meowmi visited Bondi Beach the year before she saw my Catster adoption page, which piqued her interest in me. (Plus I have the same coloring as her other cat, Fred)

3. I like to stick my forepaw into the water bowl and then lick the water off of it.

4. I have a little kink right at the end of my tail - it isn't obvious, but you can feel it if you run your hand down my tail.

5. I had to have a couple of eye surgeries for a condition in which my eyelashes grow inwards & scratch my eye. Thank goodness I don't have to have more!

6. I have three brothers - all of us had to have the surgery, and the rescue group that found us when we were babies had fundraisers to pay for the surgery.

7. I have a cute girlfurriend named Mini. *blush*

My scribe is falling asleep at her keyboard, so I will pick the seven cats to tag later. . .

A Diary Honor for ME??

Wow! Meowmi was burning the midnight eye updating her records for the foster kittens, when she decided to check her email. . . lo & behold, there was a message from Catster announcing that my diary was chosen as a Daily Diary Pick today! Woo-hoo! I've never had such an honor!

And right after THAT email, she opened a message saying I had received a Heart rosette from our furriends the Meowlers! Guess we're not the only night owls!

My furblings and I have gotten quite a few rosettes and gifts the past several weeks that our delinquent secretary, Meowmi, hasn't gotten around to responding to. She keeps using the dumb excuse of the foster kittens as they reason she hasn't spent proper time on our social needs - hmph! WE appreciate the gifties, even if Meowmi is neglectful!
