Prizes from Sammy… and an Announcement

November 10, 2014 By: Summer Samba66 Comments

Yo ho ho and a bottle of catnip essential oil!

Posing in this pirate costume totally paid off ’cause I won my friend Sammy’s Sam-O-Ween funniest costume contest!

My First Place badge

I thought lots of the entries were great and I was really surprised to win!

I didn't have to wear a costume to accept my prize!

I got my prize in the mail a few days ago… but I had no idea how amazing it was going to be!

Can you tell how excited I am here? 'Cause I was!

Look at how much I got! And everything so neatly wrapped.

The note was really sweet!

Plus a nice thank you note for entering.

I bet you knew she'd be hovering

I couldn’t wait to open up everything. Neither could Binga.

Let's get this party started!

Look at all these toys! There was even an early Christmas duck!

I'm going to be the blingiest therapy cat around

Plus these stunning little silvery charms for my harness! I can’t wait to put them on!

That mousie is done for!

My human said I could only play with a couple of the toys right now, and that she’d gradually let me have the rest of them, so I don’t go crazy all at once and then get bored of them right away. Don’t think I got gypped because she picked this little mouse as the first toy!

I am a fierce killing machine! Just like Sparkle used to say

I love these little mousies! In fact I love them… to death!

Look at those whapping paws go!

My human also let us have the Play ‘n’ Squeak mouse. Binga couldn’t wait to get her paws on it!

For a kitten, I already have SO much!

Thank you so much, Sammy! This was a much, much better prize than I was expecting. It was like Christmas in… um, November! Which means Christmas actually is coming soon, and that leads me to my announcement. Between Sammy’s prizes and something else I get to share with you in a couple of days, I already have so much awesome stuff that I’ve decided to tell my human I don’t want anything for Christmas! And Binga and Boodie agree, since I have more than enough to share with them! Instead, we are going to do something to give to less fortunate kitties. I don’t know what the plan is yet — I am still working it out — but all of you who come visit my blog will have a say in it!

    Summer you are so adorable in that outfit that it is no wonder you won! concatulations! That is pawtastic loot! Mom agrees about no holiday gifts….we have a tradition, where during the holidays Mom goes through my toys and donates them to kitties less fortunate, this year, we will be donating earlier at the Novi Pet Expo…….Mom says I have way too much stuff and I agree! Love, Cody

    Arrrgh, Matey! Your costume is definitely a winner, and you look irresistible in it (or out of it!) 😉 Enjoy sharing all of your great swag with Binga and Boodie! and we know that whatever you decide to do for other cats is going to be GREAT. There are so many needy cats in ACC’s, shelters, and on the streets, and anything anyone does for any of them is a wonderful thing! <3

    Concatulations on winning! Ooh, nice pressies! And Mommy loves the little cat charms. How cool are they? Better than that stupid bell I have on my current harness! I hate that thing! If you think you might give away a spare cat tree, I need one!

    Sammy gift packages are the VERY best!’ I won a contest on his blog and the prize was pawsome! And we always give to a rescue or sanctuary instead of gift giving in our family. Great idea Summer
