I was surprised and honored when my pal Nellie passed along the Very Inspiring Blogger Award to me! Until Nellie came along, I thought I knew everything there was to know about catitude, and I look forward to reading about her adventures, and Kozmo’s too!
With this award I am supposed to reveal 7 things about myself. Nellie let her human join in, but that will not happen here! If my human wants to spout off about herself, she can do so on her own time. Anyhow, here goes:
I’m most creative…
When I am playing! I can come up with all sorts of games all by myself! I think being active helps me be a better blogger too — it gets the blood flowing to my brain.
If I were a color, I’d be…
Actually I am a color — in the Abysinninan/ Somali world it’s called “ruddy.” Although for a ruddy, I have a lot of red… and the temperament to match!
I often imagine myself…
As the leader of the free world, once we cats have achieved World Domination.
I really wish I knew how to…
Get my human to bring home fried chicken for me every day, not just once or twiec a month. Cat food is boring.
I’d love to spend a lazy Sunday…
Not being photographed for once! Gah, that gets so old.
I’m most excited about…
My new book! It’s actually months away from coming out and my human is just putting together the materials for it now. This one is not going to be an advice book. It is going to be very fun! That’s all I will say about it for now.
My secret talent is…
It’s not really a talent, but I am the most well behaved cat in the house! I don’t act out or do bad things, unlike some other kitties here.
I am supposed to pass this award along to other bloggers who inspire me! Nellie picked five, but honestly some of the bloggers who inspire me don’t play memes, so I’ll just pick three that I know probably will. They are not required to play along, but it is more fun when they do!
A Tonk’s Tail — after that awful fire that destroyed Sebastian’s home and left him and his family with nothing, Faraday, Maxwell, Allie, the late Ryker and their human jumped in to help and did an amazing job of getting the attention of the whole cat blogosphere, and we all pitched in to help. And as if that weren’t enough, they also let us know about another neighbor, Kathi, who lost one kitty in the fire, and whose other kitty, CJ, was badly burned.
Clooney — He is always coming up with something creative on his blog! Even when his tunnel (of Tunnel Tuesday fame) went on strike for weeks, it was fun seeing what he would come up with to get it back up and running!
Marg — this nice lady works really hard to help homeless cats in her area and takes care of a number of ferals on her property. Who knows what would have happened to the kitties she features on her blog if she hadn’t been there for them?

Oh my cat! Oh my cat! We’re a little slow catching up today!
First, concatulations on your pawesome award!
And second…*blush* thanks so much for bestowing it on us!!
Congrats Sparkle!
Purrs,

Sparkle–Those are the most inspiring answers ever, MOL! I especially agree that the Human should not expect to spout off on YOUR blog (I can’t believe those Katnip Lounge kitties gave their Mommy Sundays. Just SHOCKING!)
Leader of the free world. I’d like to be the first to welcome our new cat overlords.
Concats on your award! We love reading memes. Those are some great choices to pass it on to.
Another book! Oh boy!
Concats on the award. Great answers but I wouldn’t expect anything less from you. I wouldn’t let TW answer either.
Well deserved! Loved reading more about you Sparkle and I am looking forward to hearing more about the next book.
Very fun reading about you Sparkle! I like your style. ; )
And the blogger you are inspired by are very, very special.
…thx for your comment on our Photo Tips blog, but I think your human has the whole photography thing DOWN. Woops, sorry… I mean YOU have the whole photography thing down. Phew! Glad I caught myself.
Katie
Concatulations Sparkle! You are very deserving of that award! We can’t wait for your new book!
Concats on your award. If you do find out how to get your Human to bring you home fried chick-hen every day, can you share the secret with us.

Congratulations on your award Sparkle you definitely deserve it. But I must tell you that GOATS are going to take over the world. Ah-hem
We love Penelope ( and Kozmo) too – in fact when he visited us last week (whispers we were a bit disappointed he didn’t bring Nellie along too) we had fun.
