Grab Bag Goodness

December 13, 2011 By: Sparkle Cat36 Comments

Hm. I'm wondering if the tuxie is slightly dissatisfied with the prizes.
Remember when I announced my Grab Bag Giveaway winner? Actually, I just gave you a name — Cheryl J. — but she wasn’t exactly the real winner. The real winners were… the cats at Forever Home Feline Ranch! You see, Cheryl is their treasurer. Recently, she sent me photos of some of the kitties enjoying the toys and I thought you would like to see them!

I think he just proposed to that nip pillow.

Somebody should tell him that nip pillow is a no-good two-timer!

Cheryl said, “Everyone was very excited and we had a few arguments.” Sounds like what happened at my place when my human originally opened the suitcase full of toys and treats from the Cat Writers Conference!

She also said that the rescue likes to name their kitties after “our favorite bloggers and those wonderful people that support animal rescue,” and they named a kitten after me! You are not going to believe it, but it is a… tortie!

Don't be fooled by the cuteness - torties need to come with a list of instructions!

Oddly enough, this is not the first time a kitty wound up with my name! I’m just happy that my grab bag of cool cat stuff went to such a deserving place!

    Hey Sparkle – what would you say that cat is in the bottom left corner of the first picture? A pastel calico? Pastel tortie? My cat looks exactly like it and I’m always wondering just what kind of cat she is! Thanks!

      Since she has white paws, I would say that is a dilute tortie-and-white kitty!

    That is so cool how much they appreciated everything. I think it’s amusing she named a tortie after you. Blinga would’ve been a better name for a tortie.

    (Callie’s Mommie here) Every year I try to put together a care package of toys and treat to give to the local Humane Society. I could try to be all noble and say that I do this for the poor kitties without a home and that is a part of it. But I must also say I do it because giving out this package makes me feel better than any gift under the tree does.
