Awesome Blog Award

February 24, 2011 By: Sparkle Cat32 Comments

Confession: I DO think my blog is awesome! I am not modest.

Thank you, Simba, for giving me the Awesome Blog Award! As part of this award, I am supposed to tell you seven things about myself. Since I have been online since I was six months old, it is a little hard to come up with something new, but I will try!

  1. I once found a golden lizard in the living room. Yes, a real, breathing lizard that was a stunning golden hue! Sadly, my human heard my meow of delight and took it from me and put it outside. She didn’t even take time to snap a photo, so you may think this is a tall tale. But it is true!
  2. I don’t really like tuna all that much, probably because my human never has given us tuna-flavored cat food. I have never had beef either because my human got weird after the whole Mad Cow disease thing.
  3. I love chicken above all else. When my human brings home a roast chicken, I go a little bit crazy.
  4. I only have two speeds: Sleeping and running. Other than that, I am just standing there wrapping myself around a vertical surface. Oh, except sometimes instead of running, I bounce.
  5. When I want my human’s attention, I jump on her desk and slap her in the face! If she has done a good job of something, I reward her by jumping on the desk and giving her a headbutt.
  6. The most I ever weighed was 6 lbs., 2 oz. The least I have ever weighed was 5 lbs., 8 oz. My human worries about this, but the vets tell her I am all right, just naturally slender. I think they are used to seeing too many overweight kitties and are relieved when they find one that isn’t.
  7. My human thinks that she and I are alike in many ways, but it is not true. If it were, she would have eaten the golden lizard instead of putting it outside.

I am supposed to pass this award along to 15 other bloggers, but if you look at it exponentially, you’ll see that once 15 kitties start handing out 15 awards, it won’t be long before the whole Cat Blogosphere gets one! (Whoever creates these awards needs to realize that they will have a longer run if fewer are passed along per winner!) So if it has somehow managed to pass you by, consider it yours — from me!

    Sparkle,
    Don’t be angry with me, but I am glad that your mom took the lizard back outside. We need to take care of all creatures big and small. I am not allowed to eat tuna either. Chicken is my favorite but I also love Duck and Pea. xoxoxo

    Yeah, I gotta talk The Woman into helping me write one of these posts. I received the award about a week ago. Trying to motivate her and is like trying to motivate a cat. Hey, wait a second, WOMAN, that is not what I was going to say! *hiss* *carnage*

    Congrats on your award Sparkle! You definitely deserve the Awesome Blog Award because you are awesome! I’ve never seen a lizard before so, I’m sure I would have let out a big meow of delight as well!

    Whoa, you caught a lizard?! That is crazy. I can’t blame your mom for not letting you eat it. That would’ve been gross!

    Concatulations on your award Sparkle! The cat who came before us weighed 5 lbs 4 oz but she was so floofy no one knew she was so petite except Mommy since she was the only one who could pick her up. Next time you find a lizard, don’t let your human know!

    Congratulations on your award Sparkle! There is such a thing as a Golden Gecko…I googled it 🙂

      The thing is… it wasn’t a gecko! It was small and very smooth and sleek and shiny! My human, who knows something about lizards, had never seen one like it before! It may have been an albino of some sort of lizard that they have here in California. It’s still a mystery to us.

    CONCATULATIONS on your fabulous award!! You are a SMALL kitty!!! I didn’t realize you are so small!

    LOVED your last paragraph!!!!!! As much as I am honored to receive ANY type of award I agree with you that if they give them to no more than 3 blogs at a time it is easier to handle! Don’t get me wrong, I received the Stylish Blogger award like 6 times, this one once and another one and as much as I want to do a post each time you just sometimes can’t. But…that being said it is a HUGE honor to receive an award from your peers!

    A kitteh that doesn’t like tuna?? Unthinkable! But I’m right there with you on the chicken. My Warden has to watch her fingers when she doles out the cooked chicken treats. You’ve trained your hoomin pretty well I think, but maybe you’d like to read my primer on “human training” that I wrote today? I hope so! Love and kitty licks, Rocky

    We got a very weird error that we were a spammer on your site? Anyway congratulations on your award! We are trying again to see what happens…

      Hm, that is weird – there must have been a glitch in the spammer plugin I’m using. I do have to say, it has caught a BUNCH of spam that the Bad Behavior plugin missed…

    Congrats on the award. Love the seven things, especially the lizard. We all love chicken too and know when Mom is fixing some for herself by sitting right on her feet just in case she should drop a little bit. Thanks for telling us all those things about you. Take care and have a super day.

    Concats on the award. Your human is doing really well helping you with it. Mine is the pits. She keeps blaming it on the computer. But, I say, she has to type it, the post just doesn’t type itself.
