Happy Saturday! First of
all my friends, I want to send out a HUGE “THANK YOU” to ALL of you who have
participated. You have made this photo contest a lot of fun! It was so awesome
to meet all of your kitty cats and learn a little bit about them.
Okay, ready? Now here are
the winner’s of the four prizes:
(Sandy ~ since I have both
Opie and Pye Pye’s pics entered together, I will also be sending a homemade Catnip
Mouse toy to you in addition to your Witchy Cats Wreath.)
“Saba”
"Here's a picture of our cat Saba with her little cauldron. She is a real hunter and very strong. This was taken when she was a kitten, she is much bigger now ; )"
"Patchouli"
"Patchouli (aka Chiles, Chulie-Bear) has been with us almost from the
very beginning! She and her twin brother LatÈ were the first pets for
Sean. And she has been totally in love with him from that day. She often
will stroke his face and looks at him with such adoration in her eyes,
her feelings for him are evident!"
"Goliath"
"Well
this was taken not to dress him up for a contest but rather my 5 year
old daughter torturing him, lol. He was such a good sport he kept the
wings on for almost 3 hours before he looked at me like "HELP ME!!" He
is the sweetest cat one can ever meet. His
name is Goliath and he is a rescue from our local pound and was on
death row. He had been there for almost 2 years stuck in a little glass
box. We went there looking for our lost cat and as I walked by he had
his face smooshed up against the glass and just wanted to be loved. So
we asked to see him in the bonding area and the family just fell in
love. And since he was in the 5+ years old category we got him at a
discount (I know sounds weird but true) so for 20 bucks we got us a new
love. So they really dont know his exact age they tell us 5 years old.
He was found after his original owners said he ran away and found inside
of an abandon broken down car which he was stuck inside. If you look at
his left eye you can see its half shut. It got cut somehow and now he
has scarring in that eye which causes it to always
be
smaller looking and very watery. He's okay with
his eyesight but we still get it looked at during his check ups. He
gets along with everyone and every animal. Anyone who walks in this
house gets a warm welcome from him and dogs, other cats, birds and even
our turtles he will rub his head against. I cant imagine putting this
lovable cat down. I'm so happy we found him."
Congrats to everyone!...BUT WAIT, THERE’S
MORE!!!
Since it was so very
difficult to choose from so many wonderful kitties, I have decided to give EVERYONE
a gift! It makes me so happy to be able to do this as I truly feel that ALL of
you are winners and all of your furr babies are deserving! The following friends will receive a handmade Catnip Mouse toy
as crocheted and knitted by me and stuffed with “Cosmic Catnip” for their furr
babies ...
"Blue, who we often call the Fae
cat, is 5 years old and looks exactly like a Russian blue, hence the
name...he is, in fact, the progeny of a calico mother and 'anybody's
guess' father that we adopted when he was wee. Whilst he adores me,
climbs all over me and generally acts very 'kittenish' when I'm around
he is very standoffish with everyone else. Amongst other things, Blue
has a tendency to howl at the top of his lungs when I'm sick or in
pain...even when I'm inside and he is not; he also refuses to come in
the house when I am home alone...instead, he patrols around the house
continually until someone else returns home, at which time he will come
in and plop himself on my lap or as close to it as he can come if I'm
busy with something. Then again, he also loves playing in water and
tunneling in the snow...in the photograph he has wee snowflakes on his
whiskers from doing just that. Altogether he is a delight and my little guardian."
Robin Larkspur (Wiccan Writes)
"Pixie" and "Pyewacket"
Hey, where'd they go???
Peekaboo kitties! Pixie checking out Pyewacket hiding inside the pumpkin bag! LOL!
(Robin ~ I am also sending
you a brand new “Cat Dancer” toy for your 5-month old kittens to enjoy!)
Wendy S. (The Year of the Cats)
"Miss Bella"
Very elegant girl!
Sean A. & Willow's
“Mystic”
"Mystic (aka Missy, Miss Priss, The Bitch) was adopted from the humane
society after the passing of our beloved LatÈ. She was the fierce
protector of the water bowl and would attack our feet any time we got
too close. Mean and grouchy, she still wormed our way in to our hearts.
She was my favorite (shhh... don't tell anyone!). She was with us for
almost 12 years before we lost her to renal failure. I spent weeks
walking around the house looking for her after she passed and I still
miss her daily."
And finally, a special Honorable Mention submitted by Stacy of MagicLoveCrow. This is a loving tribute to her beloved "Falco" ... Thank you so very much for sharing this with us, Stacy! ;)
"I was blessed to have Falco for 18 years. He was my cat and a smart one!
He was a rescued cat and the runt of the litter. The first night, mom
had him in the kitchen. He could walk around, but she had a gate, that
he couldn't get anywhere else. When we woke in the morning, he had
caught a mouse on his first night! Mom was like, that's it, we are
keeping him! LOL! I am allergic to animals, but I still love them. I had
Falco trained, that he would not enter my bedroom. He would wait
outside my bedroom door for me. Then, I started feeling bad, so I let
him in my bedroom, but not on my bed! That changed too! LOL! He also
liked playing high 5 with me! I would say Falco, hi 5 and he would lift
his paw and I would lift my hand and we would touch ;o) His
favorite treat was licking the salt off of potato chips. I had dropped
one on the floor one day, and he licked it clean. Didn't eat the chip,
though! LOL! I could go on and on ;o) I will always love my Falco ;o) I hope you enjoyed meeting him ;o)"
~ Big Hugs, Stacy
(Stacy ~ You will be receiving a small Autumn Wreath, my friend, reminiscent of the meaning of Mabon and the rememberance of our loved ones who have passed on to the Summerland) ...
So if each of you could please
e-mail me your address in which to mail your prizes and gifts to at Ladycaer1964@yahoo.com, I would be more

Have a fantastic weekend ALL!!
Brightest Blessings ~
