A Mug of Merit

November 15, 2013 By: Sparkle Cat43 Comments

It smells faintly of chicken, I swear!

I am really excited about what came in the mail for me! It’s a symbol of my high professional standing!

I will have some catnip tea, please

It’s a Cat Writers’ Association mug! I am a cat and a writer, so it was clearly meant for me.

Wondering where my catnip tea order is.

Because of my prominence as both a cat and a writer, I am pleased to call this mug my own.

The only thing that would have made this logo better is if it had included my face somewhere on it

This is the logo for the Cat Writers’ Association. You might be able to tell that it was designed by my friend Katie’s human, Glogirly.

I shall drink from this mug proudly

Glogirly put the mug design together on a whim, so you might say I got the prototype. I just want to add that it is an honor to be a member of such an awesome organization. We cats who write should have our own group so we can support and learn from each other!

Tell me in the comments what you believe Boodie is thinking!

Wait a minute! You mean the Cat Writers’ Association isn’t run by cats? It’s made up of humans who write about cats? And the mug belongs to my human, not me? But that is so wrong! All these humans in the Cat Writers’ Association would be nothing if not for us kitties! Nothing, I tell you!

I've been cheated, AGAIN

And all this time I thought my human was going to their conferences as my representative.

By the way, my swag giveaway from the most recent CWA conference will start Monday!

    Great mug, Sparkle. You just let your human THINK that it’s really hers and she can borrow it 😉

    I hope your human at least lets you drink her water out of that mug. It’s the least she can do, right? I mean, you ARE her material for the writing after all.

    well, shoot! who knew that the Cat Writer’s Association wasn’t made up of cats?!?!? we’re crushed! 😉 we wonder if Boodie didn’t have the inside scoop and was waiting for you to be cheated, Sparkle…she does look a little smug in that picture…

    That is a really cool mug tho. Great design! Pip says she wants one for her coffee 😀

    Truth be known Sparkle, other humans only care about the cats those human cat writers write ABOUT…they remember the cats, not the humans who used thumbs to write about cats…just an observation…heh…heh…that npmug is totally yours

    Love your expressions, Sparkle! Boodie is probably wondering where the treats are and if the mug is some kind of weird cat toy. And yes, the mug is yours–Cat Rule #506–All things belong to the cat!

    If your Human had any real respect and consideration, she’d put half and half, or some other favored beverage, in that mug and offer it to you as the servant she is.

    instead, she’ll prolly put coffee or something (gin?) in it and use it her own self. Poser.

    OMC! I was gonna ax why I—a writing cat—wasn’t in there until you dropped the bombshell. Boodie couldn’t care less. She’s probably bummed cos there’s no food in the box.

    Humans want to believe they control things.
    Without cats there would be no CWA 😉
    If your human insists that it is a human organization,
    poop in the mug 😈

    Glogirly is so talented. We think your mom is totally wrong. That mug is definitely yours. We guess it would probably be okay if you let her borrow it just so she can feel good about herself. Purrs and hugs, Lily Olivia, Mauricio, Misty May, Giulietta, Fiona, Astrid, Lisbeth and Calista Jo

    That mug is pretty pawsome. But we agree, it’s a bit of a rip off that it’s not truly a CAT organization! Hmpf. The nerve of hoomins, we must say.

    Now I am really putting my paw down and telling her she can’t join. When you said it was all about us, I thought, well maybe she should but then… sigh. Who needs another human organization?

    Wait a second… if Cat Food, Cat Treats, Cat Toys and Cat Trees are all things The Cat owns and uses, isn’t the Cat Writers Association then also YOUR writers association? It’s definitely your mug.

    It looks really cool, Sparkle!!! Thanks for the nice shout-out!
    (p.s. it’s a collector’s item now, though. We had to remove it from our Zazzle shop)

    Cool mug but clearly someone is mistaken about who is the cat writers. Silly humans always think it’s about them.

    Pawsome! I say take ownership and put your paw in that mug any time the human tries to use it! eventually she will get the message 🙂

    That does stink Sparkle, that the mug doesn’t belong to you. What is wrong with those people. It is definitely the cats that do all the writing. What would those humans have to write about if it wasn’t for us cats. Hope the next present is for you. Take care.

    Of course the CWA is run by cats as we don’t consider the humans are clever enough to do it.

    No, Sparkle, the mug is yours& the CWA is run by cats! Hoomans don’t have the intelligence necessary! Happy Furday!
