600 Posts!

Put you paws in the air, mew, mew, mew, mew!

It's time to party like a cat star! Grab a meowgarita and some catnip temptations!


This is our 600th post! We can hardly believe it. Who knew I'd have so much to say!

Mom and I have to tell you that without you sitting in your part of the world reading this, we wouldn't be hitting anything close to 600 posts. Knowing that you're right there, reading this, it makes it all worth it. We hope you'll always want to keep coming back for more. 

I was going to mention something else today... what was it? Hm? Oh yeah, we were going to announce our idea for the new book. 

About a year ago we had a theme week to celebrate the Olympics and the cathletes among us. Mom had this idea of taking two imaginary announcers (Jim and Bob) and have them narrate pictures of me doing vaguely athletic things. We invited our friends to play along and "Host" events too. Well it was so much fun and we laughed and laughed. 

I don't know why we didn't think of it sooner, but why not a Cat-A-Lympics book?

Now here is where I hope some of you will want to play too, even I have to admit that as a senior kitizen I don't do enough to fill a whole book with my athletic prowess, so I'm hoping some of you will be willing to donate pictures that Jim and Bob can narrate. I'm really hoping you'll help, cause otherwise Mom may feel the need to get a kitten and name it Sequel.
We have to get the specifics figured out (required picture sizes, a form that allows us to use your pictures, etc). At this point we're thinking we'll have an open call for pictures for specific events and then we'll add the narration. When we finish one event, we'll move onto the next.

Paws are crossed that you'll all love the idea, and for those of you still on the fence, we might re-post some of the original action so you can get in the mood.

  3. We will try to contribute to the new book, we thinks it would be FUN. Mew, Mew, Mew paws in the air we are ready to PARTY!!!!

    IF Mommy could ever get them in action Scylla & Socks jump over the baby gate. Scylla would get points taken off because her hind legs always touch the gate and knock it over. Our Senior kitty (Socks) on the other hand clears it with room to spare.

  25. What a great idea Fin - we would love to take part if we are good enough (or mainly if the photographer comes up to your expectations - unlikely we know from her previous attempts!!)

  26. Fin and your mom,

    Congratulations on 600! See? Now that wasn't so bad!

    Love your idea for your new book. I think "The Boys" might be up to helping you some. Although, like you, Fin, "The Boys" are a bit senior so haven't done too much athletic for some time to speak of. (Except for Mikey!)

    We could go back into our picture book to see if there's something there that might fit your guidelines.
