Well wonders will never cease! I have been brought to my humble paws by the recognition I have been given in the recent days and weeks via Awards from other furriendly bloggers.
So my Sunday post is to thank all those who have bestowed these treasures on me…and I am just an adult cat trying to recover from being dropped at a shelter 2 years ago (don’t know my circumstances before that)…and now finding my own way in my furrever home with support from Mom and Dad…and now from all of you. I am just trying to write daily about the steps I am taking in my recovery process, sometimes forward, sometimes (fewer) back. And I try to share the good and not so good with you. I want to help other peeps learn that adopting an adult cat from a shelter can be hard work, but we are worth every minute you spend on us…’cuz we give it back in multiples with just one loud purrrrr.
I admit, I have been damaged in my heart, soul and mind from living for so long with terrible fear. I don’t trust peeps in general, but Mom and Dad have earned my trust in just 6 short months enuff so’s I let them play with me, feed me and make googoo talk to me! MOL
Without further adieu…here are the Awards and the furriends who passed them to me:
Big Boy Jetty over at Hey…It’s Jet Here passed the Liebster Award to me. Now you may recall I was given this already, but I want to acknowledge my canine pal for having thought of me.
This Award is for bloggers who have less than 200 followers…and Oh My Cat do I fit into that one MOL…I have like 31 blog followers max…no problem with my qualifying! I wanted to be sure Jetty knows how much I appreciate his thoughtfulness in thinking of me…paw pats Jetty!
Sammy over at One Spoiled Cat and Satch at Satchmo The Cat both Awarded me with the Illuminating Blogger Award…thanks ever so much guys…kind’a special to be thought of by the “old hand” at blogging Mr Sammy and the new kid on the blog Mr Satch! High Paw Pumps to both of you!
All I have to do when accepting this award is share ONE random interesting thing about me…hmmm…ok, ok…so here it is…like, errrr…ummm…well…alright already…here it is…
I TALK IN MY SLEEP! Yep…Mom and Dad hear my grating whiny little ‘meow’ and come running ‘cuz they think something is wrong…and there I am…snoozing soundly…sigh
And then my best piggy furriends, Nibbles, Nutty, Bingo and Buddy at Hutch A Good Life gave me TWO Awards…how lucky am I to have such special furriends as these guys. And they gave me a great suggestion for having more fun with my paper bag…so Mom shredded some newspapers and put it in the bag…whoa! Guys! What a rush!! So thank you all for thinking of me.
And, my suave cat pal Texas, at Texas, A Cat in New York, also nominated me for the Versatile Blogger Award. So Mr Texas, mon cheri…merci beaucoup…
Both awards request that you post a link to the person who gave you the award and the award symbol, done. They also both ask for me to reveal seven things about myself that you might not know, so here they are:
1. I have only 2 whiskers over my left eye…and 4 over my right one
2. I only like canned cat food with fishies or liver
3. My Dad calls me “Princess”
4. My Mom calls me “Banana Cakes” (go figure!)
5. I am an equal opportunity cat…I snuggle half the night with Dad, then move to Mom for the other half (more night time pets that way)
6. I am addicted to Good Morning America and Mr Dan Harris
7. Some of my best furriends in the bloggy and Twitter and FB world are dogs
Now the last Award I was given is a brand new one I guess…and my very upbeat furriend Jay over at All That Jazz Cat surprised me with it…I luvluvluv ya Jay! High Paws!!!
Magical Cat Award
The Magical Cat Award – a Dotty Headbanger and MagicallyMad Production – for Feline Contributions to the Magical Art of Blogging
This is an award for contributions to cats in blogging. Because cats are important to both mental health and to blogging. Even if you’re allergic, or a dog person. It comes with no rules but bloggers awarded with it may extend it with pride to any blogger who happily presents feline affinities on their blogs, takes care of felines or even who references felines. Exotic felines, gigantic felines, extinct felines, domestic felines, fantasy felines, etc.
Whew…quite a haul for such a new cat on the blog circuit…and I am humbled by such recognition and thoughtfulness. As you know, most of these come with a request to pass them forward to others…and the number of blogs ranges from 2-15! So here is my conundrum…I am way new at doing a blog and at finding other blogs to follow…and then when I try to follow, I find I can’t for some technical reason. So I struggle with increasing the number of blogs I myself can follow…my staff is working on this but she is slow (sorry Mom!)
So…I am going to do this…I am passing forward every Award on today’s post to the following blogs:
Blogs Must Be Written ‘by, for, about’ Animals
Please take any of these Awards if you POST EFURRYDAY without fail
Rain, sleet, snow, shine, vacation, sick, whatever…
It is the commitment to making the time to share with your readers that is amazing to me…I work my paws off just getting my post entered for the day…not to mention the planning meeting me and Mom have where we story board what I will work on for a few days…then when I do something totally cute, or unexpected…I have to post that right away and that changes all our planning, sheesh!!! You guys are all AMAZING AND AWARDABLE!
Just to make sure I leave you with something about ME…this is a short video Dad took last night…I am playing with TISSUE PAPER…hey Sammy, see this!! I know it is dark…but ya can still see my enthusiasm!!
