I am so excited! Every year, the Cat Writers’ Association has a contest and mostly humans who write about cats enter. This year, my human entered a couple of my stories… and they each earned a Certificate of Excellence! That means that the judges gave my stories high scores and I get a certificate. It also means I’m a contender for the Muse Medallion in my category, which is given to the top scoring story.
I bet you are wondering which of my stories got the Certificates of Excellence! Here they are:
Ten Tips to Trounce Kitty Troublemaking
I explain in this story how kitties get bored, and what humans can do to give us a good time and keep us from having to make our own fun. (For some reason, humans get upset when we do that.) If you haven’t read the story, you can do so here.
Cat Tricks: Sit Up, High Five, Shake and Stay
In which I show how kitties can learn several basic tricks… and earn treats in the process! This story is here.
They are both in the “Online Article: Behavior and Training” category, so they are up against each other. Also I’m competing against my human who got a Certificate of Excellence for one of her own stories. (In case you are wondering, it is an article she wrote about harness and leash training.) The photos are all of me, so it’s all good. It’ll be interesting to see if I win the Muse Medallion or if my human does! Which of us do you think will win?
Wowee! Concats to you both! Who will win?? Only the cat knows, MOL!!! We sure hope you might be the winner, Summer! You are talented in so many ways:)
We are SO happy that a KITTY won a Certificate of Excellence for writing! It’s so great we are being recognized for our talent. Thanks for leading the way! P.S. We think you’re the winner.
Concats and best of luck!
Concats concats to you and your Mom Summer!!!! We believe you will win because you are so pawsome! You and your Mom are both excellent writers of course!

I always knew you were a very talented cat.
High paw!!!!!
Concats!!!!!
concats, Summer! we will echo “well deserved”!
pip, smidgen, minnie, hollie, sharpie, ditto
Summer, congratulations to you and your human! It’s hard to say who will win, but kitties and their points of view are awfully hard to resist.
Congratulations, Summer! If the judges are cats, you’ll win paws down. If they are humans, it might be more of a toss-up: humans tend to favor each other.
Concats to you both!
Well done that Kitty!!!!
Concatulations to you and your human ! Purrs
of COURSE you (and your human) are excellent!!! concats
Well…we kind of already knew that, didn’t we? lol. Concats! One of these days I will decide to enter, I NEVER do……….I am more deeply entrenched in the advertising/branding part of cat writing (away from the blogging trenches, behind the scenes) and I am greatly enjoying it!
Yes you are a great writer, Summer. Congrats on winning those certificates. Well done.
Congrats pretty Summer! We are not surprised though, you are most excellent!
Congratulations Summer and Janiss!
Can we hope for a tie?
That’s pawsome, Summer! Your human is incredibly talented but if I were competing with Mudpie in the same category I’d be rooting for my kitty 🙂
Congratulations! So well deserved!
We think you will both win since you are both very talented! 🙂
the critters in the cottage xo
We are betting on you, Summer. Mom saw all the certificate winners on the CWA post. She was going to enter some things this year, but as usual procrastinated. We’re going to kick her in the butt next year. Wishing you and Janiss oodles of luck. Mom will be there cheering for you.

You look very intelligent, and Regal, sitting up there on your perch!
Makes me want to kiss you on top of the head, and pet your warm soft fur!
Congrats. I love your writing.
Congratulations Summer! You are a clever girl.
Concats on the certificates!
That’s fantastic Summer, many congratulations!

well deserved…
Congratulations, Summer. We always knew you were a good cat writer.
Congratulations! You are an excellent cat writer, Summer 🙂
Summer,
We say double ditto to that statement. WE love your writing and always learn so much when we visit
Hugs madi your bfff
MY mom and I think it will be you Summer. She comes straight in with coffee and her plate of two eggs and sits here…you first. You are a great start to the day.
Wow! Concatulations! This is wonderful news. We love all of your articles. Mom looks forward to every new post each day. First it’s coffee for her then your daily news. Purrs
We think you will because, well you are a CAT and we all know that cats are the most superior creatures on Earth. A mere mortal human couldn’t hope to compete with us.
Congratulations to you both.
Congratulations! You are a very talented writer, Summer.
