posted by The Island Cats on Aug 26

A couple of weeks ago, we received this award from some new furiends of ours…Lu-Lu and Lucius.  If you haven’t met these two kitties yet, you should go over and say hello!!

Thanks, Lu-Lu and Lucius!!  Sorry it’s taken us so long to publicly thank you, but our assistant (mom!) has been kinda slow lately.  Good help is so hard to find these days!!

We know there’s some rules for this award, but since it’s Scafflaw/Scofflaw Week, we’re not gonna follow them.  Yeah, we’re rebels!!  But we do wanna pass this award on to anybuddy who doesn’t have it yet!!  Please take it and enjoy!!!

It’s a new year…and we got a new award!!!

We got the Superior Scribbler Award from our furiends, Madi and her mom!  Thanks!!  (By the way, it’s Madi’s mom’s birthday today…you should go over and wish her a Happy Birthday!!)

The Superior Scribbler Award was started by The Scholastic Scribe to celebrate their 200th post.  To read more about the Superior Scribbler Award click HERE.

Since this is a scribbler award, we thought we’d do a little scribbling…

Now that’s superior, dontcha think??? 

As with every award, there’re some rules that need to be followed:

1.  Each Superior Scribbler (SS) must pass the Award on to 5 deserving blogger friends.

2.  Each SS must link the author and name of the blog from whom he/she received the award.

3.  Each SS must display the award on his/her blog and link to the post which explains the award.

4.  Each SS is asked to visit the post which explains the award and add his/her name to the Mr. Linky List (we’ve been unable to do this).

5.  Each SS must post these rules on his/her blog.

We’d like to give this award to all our blogging furiends ‘cuz they all deserve it but, since the rules say only 5, we’re passing it on to:

Cory & her family at Cory Cat Blog

Fin at Housecat Confidential

All the kitties over at Cat of Nine Tales

Siena & Chilli at Cat With a Garden

Milo & Alfie at The Cat’s Meow

Keep on scribbling!!

A while ago, we got this fun award from our furiend, Lucy!!  But someone (mom!) has been derelict in her duties by not helping us post it.

Thanks, Lucy!!  We think it’s cool that you’d give us an award with “I Love Lucy” on it!!  (Mom wants to know how many of you remember that show??)

We wanna pass this award onto all of you…our furiends…for making us smile everyday…when we visit you…or read the comments you leave us…

You cheer us up!!!

I wanna thank everybuddy who came by on my birthday and partied with me!  I had the bestest time!  I got some nip and treats!!

And a plague rat!!!

Silly mom tried putting candles in my stinky goodness but she couldn’t get them to stand up.  She’s lucky she didn’t burn down the house trying!  Doesn’t she know cats can’t blow out candles???  Or that we don’t want to???

We wanna thank Jasmim for giving us this glamorous award!!

Thanks, Jas!!!

Oh yeah…here’s an update on momma duck and the eggs…

We’re a little concerned ‘cuz we haven’t seen momma duck since Sunday.  But she musta been back to the nest ‘cuz now all the eggs are covered up with leaves and mulch and stuff like momma duck’s trying to hide them from predators.  Mom searched the innernets and found out that it takes about 28 days for the baby duckies to hatch…but sometimes the eggs don’t hatch at all…so we hafta wait and see what happens…
