Grab Bag of Gratitude!

November 24, 2011 By: Sparkle Cat44 Comments

Mmmm! It smells good in there!

It’s Thanksgiving Day here in the U.S. and I get to announce the winner of my Awesome Grab Bag Giveaway! When my human came home from the Cat Writers Conference a few days ago, she took out her dirty clothes and old gym shoes and said the rest of what was inside was for kitties! I couldn’t wait to check it out.

This is BEYOND awesome!

Can you believe all this stuff? I think the sponsors of the conference outdid themselves this year. Binga and I were awestruck!

It's not very nutritional if it is empty.

Oh yeah, and my human won a Muse Medallion and a special award for an article she wrote on kitten nutrition for Kittens USA. As part of the Purina Cat Chow Nutrition Award, my human got this engraved bowl (and cash!). As you can see, I am not impressed with this bowl… because it is empty! She also won a Muse Medallion for a photo she took of me (tied with Cat Wisdom 101’s Layla Morgan Wilde).

This is going to be a pawsome box of stuff!

But let’s get back to the important stuff: who will win this Priority Mail box full of cat swag! I sent my human to Random.org to pick a winner and it is…

Cheryl J!

The Conga Rats are sadly, only virtual, not literal.

Congra Rats to you, Cheryl! You will have to let us know how the kitties enjoy their grab bag!

Some cats don't know the meaning of giving back!

Somebody needs to tell Binga that most of what is left over is going to one of our local cat rescues! Thank you everyone for participating in our giveaway… and happy Thanksgiving!

    you must be proud of your Mom for winning the awardie and also for being such a good hunter. She must be very willing to be trained as most humans seem untrainable except for simple tasks.
