Past Winners of COTW for October

Bastian


"Back in October, I was chosen to be Cat of the Week by this wonderful group.
I was having a hard time, due to some unfair treatment by Catster HQ my sister Loki was victim of. It had affected us all (even the doggies) and we thought of never going back to Catster again. It was the love and friendship of the kitties that made us stay. I was lucky to witness all that first hand. The honour of being named Cat of the Week is so huge and give me a sense of pride. But most of all, I think of you guys, and your generosity and kindness. I am thankful to be part of such an amazing group and wish to thank each and every one of you for what had made happy, proud and honoured and that I would have never imagined possible, after the problems we have had.
Thank you. Blessed be. Bastian xxx"

Happy Thanksgiving, TKC


Thanksgiving - A time to sit down and remember all the things we are grateful for, like family, friends, our life and the things around us. We should never take anything for granted and always should make sure to let our love ones know that we love and care for them.

We all know Family is very important, and in TKC, we are a family. The Kitties' Club, to me, is like a big house with a huge group of loving, caring, daft nutters! (MOL) Every single member of that family is very important to me and I love being apart of that home . . . .Okay, I'm getting emotional now. . . .This year, I watched the members of TKC become that wonderful family! Just look back at everything we've all been through this year and all the wonderful memories we created together.

I'm grateful for having such a wonderful group of cats who I am honored to call as my friends. Thank you all for being apart of my life.

Have a Happy Thanksgiving!

Bless you all,
~Twixy


Simon

Thanksgiving means I am so grateful for all that I have and all that I am.
I will be here with Marybeth and Jacquelyn by ourselves overnight because Mom and Dad go to there daughters and take the dogs but they bring home yummy turkey and we like that...purrs, Simon


Pumpkin

I never had thanksgiving with my new family before. but I already heard mom talk about thanksgiving and shopping for a turkey. so I'm looking forward to it. I love turkey. I'm thankful I have found a forever home and have a nice mom and family.


Princess

this is my first thanksgiving with-out my family. I don't know what thanksgiving is like at the rainbow bridge. but I remember when mom cooked thanksgiving dinner. I would walk around with my nose up in the air. The house smelled so good. I always got a piece of turkey.



Amboy

Thanksgiving, there's always plenty of food. I always get turkey. The house smells sooo good.


Mr. D

1....I can draw a cartoon about it

2....It gives me a theme to work off

3...We don't, we are silly Kiwi"s (New Zealanders)
My hooman did get to celebrate it one year, she was in the Airforce working down in the Antartic. She was stationed at Mc Murdo which is an American base. What a nice feed. Just as well we don't celebrate it, she would get tooo fat, as she gains enough weight over Xmas. MOL.
I hope you don't take this the wrong way, as it does sounds like a good reason to celebrate.

What does Thanksgiving mean to you?

Thanksgiving is my favoritest holiday of the year. It means thanking my humans for the excellent service they provide, taking care of me and maintaining my palace, the Cat Mahal, and, more importantly, it means letting them thank me for having adopted them and for giving them the feline supervision they need to live orderly and productive lives.

What's your favorite things about Thanksgiving?

Since it's a long holiday weekend, there is extra time to spend with my humans and, since the weather is usually cold, they stay inside and watch movies or sit in front of the fireplace. I get to snuggle with them and get lots of extra attention, which is very nice!

How do you celebrate Thanksgiving with your family?

See above! Oh, there is always special food for me to try. I don't always like it, but I appreciate the opportunity to find out--MOL!


Twixy

What does Thanksgiving mean to you?

A day to spend special time with family and friends, remembering everything that we are grateful for and give thanks for all the blessings in our life. I'm blessed with two families -My family here at home and my family in TKC.

What's your favorite things about Thanksgiving?

The excitement of seeing my humans rush around the kitchen like crazy people and the yummy smell that fills the house ...Mmmmmm....

How do you celebrate Thanksgiving with your family?

Well, we actually have Thanksgiving pretty early in our home. Mom's dad usually puts the Turkey in the oven around 9-10am. While they wait for that to cook, the family sits down and watches the Thanksgiving Day Parade on TV --That looks pretty fun with all those neat floats and music.

Then the craziness starts (MOL). The Potatoes have to be mashed, the Rolls are put into the oven, Marshmallows are added to the Yams, the Vegetables are warmed up, Pumpkin pies are put on, Cranberry Sauce is poured into a bowl, Turkey Stuffing gets prepared and heated up, Turkey gets sliced and Apple Cider is poured ...Is your head spinning yet?! ROFL!!

After the eating and cleaning up, the family usually watches a movie or play a game - Which is one of my favorite things about Thanksgiving.

Aldo

What does Thanksgiving mean to you?

Gathering together with family and loved ones, even very close friends and their families when you're not able to be with your own family.




The Kitties' Club Show with Simon


Meow TKC Kitties, and welcome to The Kitties' Club Show with my guest Simon. I hope you all enjoy it!

Before the show, I would like to give a special "Thank You" to Angel and Alfie for sending in their questions.


>^..^<

Home: Olalla, Wa we are on the kitsap Penninsula right across from Seattle...my meowm takes the ferry to Seattle lots.

Age: 9

Breed: pussycat-rose orange

Hobby: harassing Marybeth and Jacquelyn, my sisfurs

My Personality Type: loving, inquisitive, active, spoiled

Pet Peeve: not getting shrimp when I want some or if meowm brushes jacquelyn first in the morning

Favorite Toy: moles

Favorite Thing to Eat: shrimp



(Twixy) Who are Jacquelyn or Marybeth, Your housemate cats? & why aren't there any photos of them?

(Simon) My sisfur Jacqulyn is 13. She was raised from 6 days old by my meowm...she is odd...sort of like a cat and sort of not...she still plays like a kitten and follows mom and dad around all the time. She is a grey tuxedo. Marybeth is a tortie and she is 19. She was born to my meowm so she has always been here. She is probably meowms favorite. She is still quite active. My meown tells her she is her little kitten. They do not have pages because Teal'cs mom made mine..my mom is just lazy and not really bright enough to do a page I think...she keeps saying she is going to do them but she always has other work to do. Sheshould put my dogs on to..we have a Cardigan Corgi and Blue eyed blue merle Aussie...you can see pictures of all these in the pet of the month on her website www.ninasbigstore.com i also have two other cat sisfurrs, Marguerite and Lottie. Lottie and Marg really are sisters. they live in the studio area..they do not come into the upper part of the house. They are huge fluffy torties. Lottie is used in a lot of meowms artwork.
(Twixy) Do you go near or smooch Countess the horse?

(Simon) I only watch the horses...they have very dangerous looking feet and they are very large. I sit in the garden and watch them. We used to have many more horses but they all went to live at my human sisters dressage training stable.


(Twixy) Do you go traveling with your Mom in the car?

(Simon) I hate going in the car...just hate it...

(Twixy) Are you an outdoor puss, going outside as you like?

(Simon) I go out in the morning after brekky for about 4 hours or less. We have coyote and raccon so I am not allowed out when it is dark or late day. And the dogs come out into the yard with me so I am pretty safe. If I do not go out I yeowl and drive my meowm crazy. Lottie and Marguerite get to be out more. Marybeth and Jacquelyn come out on the deck, but they rarely come down to the garden.

(Twixy) Has your Mom done any special paintings or sculptures of you?

(Simon) My meowm did a platter of me several years ago...and it was produced. I think she still has the original. She has not used me in anything else as yet though she says she is going to do a vase to go with the Alfie vase in the rescue Me-ow series.


(Twixy) Can you tell us a little about Nina's Big Store and your Blog?

(Simon) Ah, the store www.ninasbigstore.com is a website where my meowm sells her own original artwork , paintings or pottery, her artwork on Tee shirts, cards and prints and totes, her artworkd that has been reproduced on products, and also some of Cat Smith Wards (Teal'c'c mom) cards and purrses. My meowm has just added the vases the original vases she paints individually herself...you can get your own cat done now. The pets of the month are fun...she has put all of us on there and some of her daughters and some friends and some fans have sent in pictures and some from catster and dogster.
My blog , I do every month..i put in pictures of friends and talk about what is happening in my world or things that interest me. there are also pictures of my animal family there.

(Twixy) What is your favorite things to do around the house?

(Simon) I like to sleep...I like to sit under the lamp where it is warm. i like to sit up on the china cupboard in fron t of the lion painting and pretend to be a lion (you can see in my blog) I like to sit on the side table in the kitchen where we have plants and what my dad calls "our wishing plates"( we sit by them and wish mom would feed us some treat and she does...we are so spoiled) I like to sit and watch mom cook. or i like to sit by her when she is on the computer working. She does not let me into her studio because she says only pottery cats can be in there

(Twixy) Was Alfie a "Gud Boy" when he visited you and your Mum?

(Simon) Alfie was wonderful when he visited me. We had a great time. he loved Marybeth and she loved him. He had lunch with me and he came out on the deck with me and sat under my table where I sit and watch the horses in the pasture. We had a great time together.

(Twixy) How did you come across Catster?

(Simon) I found Catster through Teal'c's meowm who gave us a subscription and made my page for me. We love catster.
