Photo Hunt: Hand-Written

November 26, 2011 By: Sparkle Cat35 Comments

The moment the nip comes out, so does Binga!

Hey! Binga is not supposed to be in this shot! Tell her to go away!

Today, I am the official nip toy tester!

You may wonder why I am performing quality control on these handmade nip knots (that Binga tried to steal), and what they have to do with this week’s Photo Hunt theme. My human is making them for a cat show she is attending today to sell my books, calendars, and maybe some cards too! She will also be selling these nip knots (which she learned how to make from this video) for one dollar — but humans who buy a book or calendar will get one for free! I have given these nip knots my paw of approval.

You ARE going to sell a bunch of books and calendars, right?

There will also be pawtographed book plates for my books! As you can see, the most important part is paw-written, but they are hand-written too.

    Hey Sparkle, My mom and her daughter (little mom) just made a bunch of nip knots and are taking them to the local Humane Society. That is where I came from. They rescued me twice b4 I found this, my FOREVER home. I think the kitty’s there will like the knots and maybe the shelter can sell some to raise some money!! THANK YOU for the great idea!! See, you help kitties you dont even know about. Way Cool. Cooper

    I sometimes wish my dog Isabella was more like you cats. She chews up every toy I buy for her the same day I bring it home. I wish she could get a few lessons from a good cat about the proper way to play with her things. I think everyone knows that you guys are expert players and hunters.
