  1. We are helping promote your contest, our friend Ann at Zoolatry asked us too. We also saw a piece in USA TODAY about your fundraising efforts. Romeo you makes us proud to be cats. Alas we are fur challenged but we will be by to see all the pictures of our fluffy friends. ~Socks, Scylla & Charybdis

    Even though I am not a cat I am very proud to know that us four legged creatures can make a difference. ~Fenris Wolf (the dog)

  12. Hi, Romeo, We got our contest post up but we're not going to be able to enter. One of us hacked up a good one last night but when we asked her to take a photo, she said, ewwwww, that's gross, and cleaned it up before we could find her camera.

    But we hope you raise lots of green papers for the Kitten Rescue.

  18. We put the announcement in our sidebar - but we won't be able to participate - except for Mrs. OZ we NEVER do hairballs in public. And while Mrs. OZ' hairballs themselves would be winning any price that could be out there the staff strangely never took pictures of them... OR recorded the noises (award material!) Mrs. OZ makes while producing the hairballs....
