An Award and a Photo Contest

Yippee! We won an award! Our blogging friend Diamond and his human, Lynettea, have generously bestowed us with the “Irresistibly Sweet Blog Award.” Thank you, Diamond and Lynettea. We’re honored!

The rules of the award say we have to share 15 things about ourselves, so here are five about Moosey, five about Sammy, and a collage of five cats looking for their forever homes:

Five things about Moosey:

1. He loves water, and is obsessive about going into the shower after the humans are done

2. He has to smell everything – including his brother Sammy :)

3. We adopted him from PAWS, who rescued him from a kill shelter

4. Favorite toys: Catnip mice, string, bouncy foam balls. And FLIES!

5. He loves spending time with the mom and dad on the sofa and sleeping in the bed

Five things about Sammy:

1. Favorite toys: Hex bug and mouse on a bouncy string

2. He loves being brushed (he even tries to brush himself)

3. He adores lounging in his cat hammock

4. He enjoys watching bird and squirrel TV

5. He was found in a feral cat colony, saved from a kill shelter by PAWS, and ultimately adopted by us :)

Petunia, Clara, Rupert, Victoria and Elmer are just FIVE of the many PAWS cats currently available for adoption...

We're supposed to pass the award along to 15 of our friends, but since we love ALL of our blogging pals, we can't even begin to choose.  So we're giving it to everyone who wants it! :)

Now, about that PHOTO CONTEST we mentioned.  PAWS is holding a Cat Photo Contest in conjunction with its "Bark in the Park" event (yes, PAWS rescues woofies, too!).  There are four categories: Silly Kitties, Best Belly Shot, Cati-tude and Cutest Cat. Fees are $5 for the first entry, and $3 for each additional entry. One winner will be selected in each category, and prizes include pet supply and restaurant gift certificates.  The contest is open to anyone (you need not be present to win, and prizes can be shipped).  Deadline to enter is Friday August 26th.
