The August Giveaway & A Superbad Cat

(Click on image for a closer view)

I've been superbad at blogging lately, but honestly haven't felt inspired to write much lately. It's time for the August giveaway though, so a post is due!

This month's giveaway features some great summery items...

The prizes: include two tank tops, one each of pirate kitty and clever kitty (pick from S-L); a clever kitty glass tile pendant necklace and three moustache kitty buttons in new eye-catching colours. Total value = $67 US

To enter: All you have to do is leave a comment telling me what your favourite movie has been so far this summer - could be one that you saw in a theatre, on dvd or on tv, old or new.

As usual, any purchases made in my shop from now until the 31st will also get your name entered in the draw.

For bonus entries: Become a follower of my blog (follow button to the left) and/or on twitter and come back here to let me know that you did so.

Since I did not hear back from the original winner of last month's giveaway, Matt redrew a name last night. This time Ashley was the lucky kitty! So I will be in touch with her shortly and hopefully get those goodies mailed out to her early next week. If worse comes to worse and I don't hear back, I will simply add last month's prize to this month's. How's that for a prize?!

In kitty news, I was not a pleased kitty mom the other night, after discovering a chunk of fur missing out of Suki's neck scruff. The cats were alone in the house for about 7 hours - not long at all - but ample time for Dex to get restless and decide to use Suki as his plaything. Of course, I don't know for sure that he was the cause of her little wound, but that's my first guess, since I found a few tufts of fur scattered on the floor downstairs. Plus Suki has never hurt herself on anything else in our place before (knock on wood!).

My little sweetpea, I'm sure she curses me for the day I brought Dex home. He is actually really good-natured 99% of the time and I don't think he ever means to harm Suki. And after their last vet visit, we found out he's not even that much heavier than her anymore (9.5 pounds vs. about 8 pounds), but still, that little bit of size difference plus the fact that he's younger and male gives him the advantage when he decides to wrestle with Suki. The way she's yowled before, I know she doesn't enjoy "playtime".

Anyways, I'll be back in a few days with photos of some recent purchases, my new do and hopefully the results of my next ultrasound!

Happy Weekend!

  2. Mmm... I've seen lots of good movies over the last several months but, honestly, I think Cloverfield was my favorite.

    What a bad kitty! Ours get into squabbles all the time but it never gets that gory. Poor Suki, hope she feels better soon. :)

    I actually just watched the movie "The Science of Sleep", I've heard it's not very popular but it's definitely one of my favorites ever, it's really intriguing and well made.

  11. Hi Cathy! Congratulations, how exciting for you and Matt! I didn't realize you had a blog, have now subscribed to it! I was just browsing your shop. :)

    Hmmm...movies...haven't been able to see many, too busy, but I did see Up! with Xavier and I really liked that one. And rented Amelie, that was a good one too. :)

  13. Also, I am a new follower of your blog!! So glad I found you! I have two kitties myself- so sorry to hear about your little one's wound. My cats had a similar run in like this years back- they were simply playing around, and I didn't think anything of it, and then I noticed a sore on my little one's face. The vet told me it's common in kitties because they playfully bite, but they're teeth are quite full of bacteria so it's easy for them to get sores. Hope he's all healed up soon!!
