Goodies Galore!

November 5, 2012 By: Sparkle Cat42 Comments

When my human posted this goodie bag photo on her Facebook profile while she was at the Cat Writers Association conference, I wondered if my eyes were deceiving me!

If there is a heaven for kitties, it is full of bags like this one!

But when she came home around noon on Sunday, it was even better than it looked in her hotel room! My human has been going to these conferences since 2008 and there is always a goodie bag of cat stuff, but I think this year’s was the best ever!

Will I like these or shun them? It will be fun to find out!

In fact, there was so much stuff that my human said she wanted to donate most of it. Bummer! But I guess she does have a point. We do have lots of toys and treats already. She is keeping the cans of food for us to try and keeping some treats and that’s it. Plus we each got to pick out one toy.

She is mostly punk, not so much rock.

Binga picked the Chase ‘N’ Pounce Punk Rock Mouse.

Red is my favorite color!

I kept gravitating towards this red Sprong toy. It matches my birthday bed!

I think all those bright, shiny objects confused her.

Boodie couldn’t decide what she wanted. Finally my human gave her a Catnip Teaser from a young, homebased company called Purrfect Play.

I see whapping in her future

The only problem is that Binga thinks they are all for her! Somebody needs to straighten her out.

    Amazing toy stash. It’s generous of you to share your toys by donating them to kitties who are less fortunate.

    I’m going to have to start sending TW to that Cat Writers Convention. Of course, she’ll need a cat writer’s card first. I can’t believe you didn’t get to choose first! AND you should’ve gotten to choose 2 to the others 1. Enjoy the hippie food. Well the name sounds like hippie food. MOL.

    Ah, there’s always one in efurry crowd, huh? She must figure your Mom won all this in a game of “Binga” or something.

    Wow, that’s quite the haul! And yes, it seems like you guys are always getting free stuff. It must be due to all of your affiliations. I’ll have to get out more.

    We see lotsa treats too. It’s really nice of you to donate things you won’t need so other kitties can have toys too. Pawsalute.

    I just got Jake one of those red Sprong toys last week when we went to Petco for Halloween! I can’t find it now…not sure if that means it’s a good toy or a bad toy.

    We saw about the kitty in Salt Lake and we sent an email to the person who posted about him to make her aware of some of the rescues in town. Meowm would foster if we weren’t already being so fussy.
