Yes, you have until tomorrow to order it if you feel like it, of course! Click here!

I am in it. So are Kitshka and Milou… and so many of my furriends from the Cat Blogosphere! Imagine starting your days in 2014 with one of us kitties?

Texas claims we’re in this calendar…

…but I can’t find us!

Of course, you can always visit all of us online each and every day of 2014 =^.^=

I am so happy and honored to be among so many furriends! Thank you to Truffle & Brulee and their human Mom Paula for collecting our pictures, putting the calendar together, placing orders and sending them to us! We are very thankful for this nice calendar! I am not sure if someone else helped, if so, we’d like to thank this or these persons too!

It was recently Nerissa’s, of Nerissa’s Life, 2nd Blogoversary!

I must apologize to Nerissa: I was late wishing him a Happy Blogoversary because I have been mostly away from the ‘puter the past weeks. I am sorry Nissy.

On top of that, Nerissa nominated me for a super cool new award, the Mouses Award!

MOUSES! award

What do I have to do to accept this award?

Firstly, you need to thank the blogger who gave you the MOUSES! Award.

Thank you so furry much, Nerissa!

Secondly, you need to post the award somewhere on your blog.

It’s on the sidebar on the right!

Thirdly, when acceptin’ the award, you need to use the word MOUSES! in a sentence. For this requirement, you may also choose to use one of the many variations of MOUSES! if you so desire. You know… like… mousin’, mouses, moused-up, etc…

I am very grateful Nissy but, Mouses! I am not in New York anymore, I’m in Austin. I know I know, it’s mousesly complicated… so that’s okay. I think my human secretly wishes I still was a cat in New Mouses York ;-)

=^.^=

Finally, you need to pass the MOUSES! Award on to two or more bloggers. You can pass it along to as many as you like but please try for at least two so that the award is spread around the blogosphere and doesn’ fizzle out or anything. And you’ll wanna pass the award on to bloggers whose work you read regularly and would therefore, sure as mouses recommend. See what I did there? Yup, you spotted it. I used a derivation of MOUSES! in a sentence. Lead by example, I say. Lead my example…

Since I am a little late posting about it, I saw many of you received it. So, I nominate:

– Alfie at Mollie & Alfie
– Binky at angelswhisper2011
– The black panthers at the Creative Cat

That’s it for today! Thank you efurry one!

Award Time: The Dragon’s Loyalty Award

We are still trying to catch up with all the nice awards I received but that my human never helped me accept.

I have to ask: do I look like a sleeping dragon on this picture? (You can click on it to bigiffy, don’t be afraid)

Sleeping-Dragon

I am asking because today I am accepting the Dragon’s Loyalty Award. I was nominated for this fantabulous award by Catnip Of Life on March 20, 2013 (hide human, hide).

dragonsloyaltyaward1

I want to give huge thanks to Catnip of Life for this award!

I am not sure how many of my furriends have received it. I am not sure I have seen it that much. The Dragon’s Loyalty Award is the combination of two awards I already received : the “Very Inspiring Blogger” and the “Versatile Blogger” awards. Isn’t the result of the combination super cool?

So, what are the rules to accept the award?

1. Display the Award Certificate on your website
Done!

2. Announce your win with a post and link to whoever presented your award
Done!

3. Present 15 or so awards to deserving bloggers
Okay, so as always, if you have it already, or don’t want to accept it, I don’t want to force it upon you. I like that awards allow us to share linkies of our favorite blogs, so I am sharing yours =^.^=
1 – Sammy from One Spoiled Cat
2 – Nerissa from Nerissa’s Life
3 – Eirwena from Journal d’un chat : les aventures d’Eirwena
4 – The gang from The Cat on my Head
5 – Mr. Bowie from Hands on Bowie
6 – Nellie and Kozmo from The Cat from Hell
7 – Savannah from Savannah’s Paw Tracks
8 – Nylablue from Nylablue and SherriEllen’s Purrfect Pad
9 – Binky from AngelsWhisper
10 – Hemingway and Shakespeare from Two Cats’ Views
11 – Cathy Keisha from Stunning Keisha
12 – Wally from The Island Cats
13 – Easy from Easy Blog
14 – Cody from Cat Chat with Caren & Cody
15 – Austin Towers from CATachresis

4. Drop them a comment to tip them off after you’ve linked them in the post
Will do that as soon as the post is online.

5. Post 7 interesting things about yourself
Now this is a bit difficult. Hmmm… okay let’s go!
1- I like to sleep with one of my hind legs touching my nose (no comment!)
2- I eat Milou’s food sometimes, but so does Kitshka!
3- I can’t understand why Milou would play with Kitshka yet still hiss at me!
4- I like to wake up the humans with a song around 4 am sometimes.
5- I need to have my human for myself alone some of the time.
6- You know the little bumps on French madeleines? Well, once my human baked some and left them on the table and I nibbled on all the bumps.
7- I am on a quest to turn the humans’ black sofa into a white one (Kitshka is helping on this project).

There you go! Now you know there’s a dragon sleeping inside of me =^.^=

I am so purringly happy: I was nominated for the Liebster Blog Award

Oh my. What a week! First I got the Sunshine Award. Twice. Now tonight, when my human came back home from the groceries, she told me all excited that All That JazzCat nominated me for the Liebster Blog Award! And she didn’t even think to celebrate by bringing back home some nip! Ah, humans!

But that’s okay, because I am very honored to have been nominated + that gives me the opportunity to be introduced to yet another cool, jazzy furriend: Jazz Cat Jay. Hey furriend!

Frankly, I am positively purringly honored and happy to know all of you furriends. And I hope I can keep you entertained anytime you want to visit (Grouik is taking care of the food ;-) Nah just kidding! Oh my Ceiling Cat! I’m so excited! And I just can’t hide it! I know, I know, I know…)

Soooo… to acknowledge the Liebster Blog Award, I must:

1. Link back to the person who nominated me: Jazz Cat Jay at All That JazzCat
