My Birthday Presents and Door Prize Winners!

June 27, 2011 By: Sparkle Cat42 Comments

Look at all these cool birthday presents I got!

Can you guess what's in them? Wait a minute - you already did!

Did you guess what they were? Some of you did… but here’s the one present I haven’t seen on any other cat’s blog:

Is my human trying to say something about the amount of fur I shed? She can't be!

Hm. It may take me a while to figure out how to use this! But I do want to say, it had the best, most chewable bow!

Wait - isn't my human supposed to brush me? You mean I have to do it myself?

Now let’s get onto the next present. I was surprised that only one family of kitties knew what it was!

Not as chewable, but still pretty rad!

It was a Cat Toy Box, like the one the Katnip Lounge kitties have! (Nice of my human to leave the price on it!)

Who does she think I am, Minnie Pearl?

The Katnip Lounge humans put treats in their Cat Toy Box, but it’s just as fun to fish for the toys that came with it!

I just can't keep my paws to myself!

Now we get to my final present, and I just want to say a bunch of you kitties got it right!

I bet you can tell just by my human's lousy wrapping job!

Yep, it’s an Ess! A bunch of you, including the Katnip Lounge kitties and the Island Cats, already have it, and now I do too!

Well, okay, I was REALLY hoping for a cat tree...

I think I’m really gonna love this!

Like I said, I just can't keep my paws to myself!

Oh, and let’s not forget the best present of all — the wrapping!

This part never seems to last long enough.

Since so many of you guys got the correct answer, I had to do a random drawing — and here are the door prize winners!

Hannah and Lucy
Mr. Puddy
Teddy and Sophie
Fuzzy and Zoe
Pip, Smidgen, Minnie and Hollie (who guessed both presents!)

I will have my human send you the door prizes when she recovers from the Fancy Feast shoot (which is where she is today — report coming tomorrow!). As for the commenthon, there were 104 comments, which totals $26, but my human has decided to round it up to… $50! So that is what she is donating to Cat House on the Kings. You can still donate today and tomorrow by using the ChipIn widget — look to your right and scroll up a ways and you’ll see it.

Thanks everyone for making my birthday totally awesome!

    Happy Birthday Sparkle,
    We’re in the middle of packing to move, so there is lots of wrapping paper and boxes at home!
    Mamma-Cajsa and my new sisters & brothers (born on April 5th) are on the farm. I am the only cat honoured to stay in town with my two-legged-Mommy while she prepares for the move. She calls me her “Comfort-Cat”.
    Purrs,
    Sara

    HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY and concatulations to the winners!!!! We are so upset we missed that post! Mom was celebrating her wedding anniversary Fri and Sat. There was no time to read the bloggies on Sunday. Today, Mom’s fairly NEW (as in still under warranty) HP laptop died (it LITERALLY FRIED as in nearly caught on fire from a defect), she was at Best Buy for over 2 hrs. Her laptop has to be shipped back to HP. She is using an AWFUL temporary one….she wants her laptop back!
    Soooooo we are so sorry we missed your birthday!!!
    (((((((((((hugs)))))))))))))))) and you got some amazing prezzies! We are so happy for you!
    Love, Mom & Cody

    Sparkle you are right the best presents are the wrapping which can be ripped into tiny pieces. All the other present are pawtastic too especially the Ess that every cat is raving about.

    You certainly are a well-loved kitty — just look at all those presents! I think I saw a groomer like that on “Cat of Nine Tales” recently. I guess you’re supposed to walk under it and arch your back so the combs can get through your furs.

    That toy looks very exciting, too. And the ESS has a wonderful reputation, as far as kitties loving it.

    Looks like you’re in for a fabulous time!

    Yay, you got the ESS!!! We couldn’t remember what it was called. Your other toys look cool, too. I had something like the cat toy box that was round and furry and had balls in it.

    Mommy and I are almost done with your book and we are learning A LOT. Mommy especially, and she is going to make some changes to help me out better 🙂
