I've moved!

Hi Friends!

I have moved my blog from Blogger to Wordpress but I don't think subscribers transferred. 

So.....check out the new digs at the same address: http://www.romeothecat.com and sign up for the reader there (sorry for the inconvenience!)

ALSO I would love your feedback on the new site!

Announcing the Winners of the "What's Your Pet's Funniest Habit?" Contest!

Congrats to the winners of our "What's Your Pet's Funniest Habit?" contest to celebrate "Pets—The Spice of Life" during National Pet Week 2009, May 3-9th.

The Twitter winner is Miss Poofy (left), a beautiful Himalayan "princess cat" from Illinois. She is a very dignified princess so she is not too silly but often dashes up and down the hall like a madwoman.

Our Blog winner is Tasha (right), a cute Tortie who blogs at http://mishkathryn.blogspot.com/ and who burrows under clothes and waves a paw for help when she wants to come out.

Thanks so much to everyone who entered and donated. This was so much fun!

Thank you to Iams for helping us celebrate the wonderful, funny things we pets do!

Since both of our winners are cats, here are the wonderful goodies they will each receive courtesy of Iams:

3.5 pound bag of Iams Cat Food, a Whisker City Fleece Kitty Den, a Whisker City Safety Stretch Cat Collar (Available in multiple colors), a Groomax Brush & Slicker Combo for Cats, ToyShoppe Teaser Wands, Petlinks System 3 Blind Mice Cat Toys and an Animal Planet Plush Jellyfish Cat Dangler.

Have a great day!

Guard Cat

Am fierce and loyal protector of all defenseless creatures. I shall use my power and strength to ward off danger and will keep watch day and night.

Except during dinnertime.

From the archives

Believe it or not, the staff manager does not always look like this; this was her Halloween costume.

Poor Pugsley got really confused and did not recognize her in this get up! He hissed and hid in the corner until she took the ears off.

I knew it was her the whole time, though.
