Getting Carded

January 9, 2012 By: Sparkle Cat39 Comments

Quality Control is part of a kitty's job description!

I have a shipment from my Zazzle store to inspect!

Recognize the kitty in the cards?

It’s a bunch of new greeting cards that my human is going to sell at a cat show at the end of the month! Zazzle was having one of their especially good sales — 75 or more cards for 75% off! At that rate, my human might actually turn a profit by selling them at cat shows. The sale ended December 31, and of course my human just had to wait until the last day to not only order them, but design them too! Well, the results were nice, although I imagine they would have turned out just as well if she had designed them ahead of time.

Yes, it's an old, old photo, but it still looks good!

There are a dozen new cards, including Valentine’s Day cards and even a card for your favorite accountant! (My favorite is Angel and Isabella’s human!)

There are some more Boodie and Binga cards my human will be making too!

There is even a brand new Boodie card!

Does this mean I get a break from modeling? No?!

I give these greeting cards my paw of approval, but I give my human a C-minus for promptness.

    We like the accountant one. Whether they really are tax deductible or not, lets start a rumor that all treats bought for kitties between now and April 15th are…..especially the freeze dried ones.
