Christmas Card Swap.  

Thursday, December 3, 2009

I was just tweeting this afternoon about how I wanted to snail mail card to people this year. Well I just stumbled across this cool Christmas card swap. What are you waiting for? Go sign up!

Everyone likes getting real stuff in the mail—either boxes or books or cards or letters. But mailing things are expensive, and it’s hard to buy presents for people you don’t know…So why not send a Christmas card?

osw_christmas_cards_by_amyr

The idea is almost like Secret Santa, only easier. All you have to do is sign up here before December 10th (that gives you one week!) and at the end, I’ll send you an e-mail with the address of the person you’re sending a card to. Write a nice note and send it before December 20th.That’s it!

Click here to sign up!

Rules:
--There is an international option, so please decide if you’d be willing to mail a card out of the states. It is open to everyone.
--You can send more than one card if you like, but I can’t guarantee that you’ll get more than one back. But—you never know!
--Unique cards are most fun. You can buy a card, or make a card, or use a piece of plain paper and draw a cool picture.
--Make sure to write something nice! Who knows—this person may be your future pen-pal.
--You don’t have to be a follower—but I’d love it if you were one!

Catterview with Lori and her six fur pals.  




Welcome YA blogger Lori from Pure Imagination and her cats, Midnight, Picadilly, Foxy, Harley, Mercy, and Willow. *PHEW* That is a lot of cats!



Midnight:
1. How do you feel about being one of 6 cats?

I loathe every single second of it. I could cope when it was just my sister and I but then the humans got that annoying Picadilly and life has only gotten worse since then. Now they are taking in strays. STRAYS! In my home!

Picadilly:

1. Which one of the other cats is your best friend?

Hmm my best friend would have to be Foxy. She lets me chase her and beat up on her for fun without a fight.


2. Which other cat do you like the least?

I definitely like Mercy the least. She waltzed in here like she owned the place. No wonder her original humans got rid of her. She won’t let me beat her up for fun. She hides behind doors and jumps out at me. Things were a lot better without her.


Foxy:

1. How do you feel about your name?

It’s the best those humans could come up with. I don’t hold it against them and their small brains. It doesn’t even begin to describe me though.


2. Are you really foxy?

I am most certainly beyond foxy. I am beautiful, glamorous, dazzling, alluring, enchanting, drop-dead gorgeous, entrancing…..I could go on and on but I have better things to do.


Harley:

1. What is your favorite cat treat?

Ooo I don’t have a favorite. I like everything. Specially human food. Cream cheese and cheetos are very very good.

Mercy:

1. How do you feel about being the lone orange cat?

I’m perfectly fine with being the lone orange cat. It just proves how much better I am….


2. Do you think that you are better looking than the others?

I don’t know about better looking. Foxy is a very nice looking cat but I am most definitely the best cat. I’m pretty and sweet, I have everything going for me. I even pick fights and make it look like Midnight started it. Fools them every time.


Willow:

1. Do you like to scratch up your humans furniture when she isn't looking?

I haven’t tried scratching the furniture. Is that a good place to scratch? I do like licking the walls. That’s fun. We have a nice scratchy box that I like. Sometimes I sleep on it too. Sometimes I eat the cardboard from it too. It doesn’t taste as good as Cheetos though.

Lori:

1. Do you plan on getting anymore cats?

NO! I never planned to have this many it just kind of happened. I was very content with three. Though I love them all.

2. How many can of cat food do you go through in one week?

They eat dry food but I’m sure it would be a lot of cans! I go through a 10 lb bag of food in about two weeks.


3. Which one of your cats is your favorite?

How dare you ask that! ;) I honestly don’t have one. I love them all for different reasons. They are all so different and individual that it’s not possible to have a favorite.

4. How did you come to be the owner of 6 cats?

Well, before my husband and I got married I lived with my parents and we adopted a kitten and decided not to get her spayed so we could have kittens. She had five. Foxy and Midnight were two of them. I loved both of them and wanted to keep them so they lived with my husband until we moved in together and got married. About six months after we got married we bought Picadilly from a pet shop. The owner of the pet shop told me that she was a handful and I said “Then that’s the one I want.” I’ve always liked my cats with a big mischievous streak. After Picadilly we were done. No more cats. We were very happy with the three we had. Until last January I was walking up my sidewalk and this little orange cat ran up to me meowing. Of course I left her food on the porch but didn’t even consider keeping her. A few hours later I rescued her out of a tree after the neighbors huge dog chased her. I let her come in and she acted like she was home. There was no looking back after that. Someone had apparently dropped her off on the side of the road. She was very lucky that it happened to be at our house. And of course it turned out that she was pregnant with SIX kittens! We loved each and every one of them but Willow and Harlequin were the ones we couldn’t give up.

That’s it! No more cats now!

5. Do you have any other non-feline pets?

We had a hamster but she died(of old age nothing cat related)a couple of months ago. We tried our luck at fish but they don’t like us! We will stick to cats.

Many thanks to Lori and her gang for stopping by this week. If you would like to be feature in one of my Catterviews email me sharonluvscats(at)gmail(dot)com

Paw it Forward  

Wednesday, December 2, 2009

I recieved my Paw it Forward package from One Cats Nip. What is Paw it Forward? Scroll down to see more.

Sabrina and Lilly are expecting the package. It isn't very often that I get a box in the mail with stuff for them in it.

Lilly testing out one of the toys. She seems to approve of it.

Tailless, Lilly, Sabrina, and the reclusive Cookie trying out some of the treats. It isn't very often that Cookie comes this close to me, so I would say that my Paw it Forward experience was a huge success!

Would you like to recieve some cat goodies from me? Here are the rules:


"The exchange focuses on doing an act of kindness without expecting anything in return other than that the recipient will, in their turn, pass the kindness along and 'pay it forward' in their own way.This is how it works...I am going to agree to send something fun, inspiring or uplifting to one kitty blog owner who posts a comment on this entry if you agree to paw it forward too. In turn you will then post about this on your blog, link to me, then send something to the first person who signs up to play along through your blog.

There are no cost restraints, BUT don't go crazy! The little something you send can be something you made, bought, were given or found. No biggie, just a gift that will make the person smile. Maybe something unique from where you live? And, remember that kindness does not have to involve money; there are untold ways to help others every single day, everywhere you go - just look around". The rules were changed a little bit. We know that times are tough for a lot of people, and in the past the idea was to paw it forward to 3 bloggers. We are going to paw it forward to one and doing this might make it more playable for people. If you want to play with three people, it is your choice, or if you'd like to play with one or two people, that is also your choice. Keep the fun going and let me know if you want to play!
