Jump & Shout Contest

Rocky: My good buddies Kimo & Sabi are having a great contest to celebrate the NBA playoffs and to raise funds for Cat Friends Helping Friends ...

I'm a very demanding CEO (Cat Executive Officer), who has been known to jump on, and shout at, my cat staff on occasion, so count me in!

I had a jumping photo shoot done before I get too plump to jump:

And here I am shouting at my slacker staff:Join me and jump right in everykitty, and let's help Kimo & Sabi raise some funds for a very worthy cause!

Rocky's To Do List

Rocky: Ah, the power of the purr! Thanks to all of your purrs, I stopped sneezing yesterday and didn't have to go to the v.e.t. after all! (My mom says she thinks I just snorfled a chunk of Lucy furs up my nose.) Today I'm feeling great and I'm back in action, tackling my To Do List for the weekend:First, I want to let you all know that Lucky got lucky!! We found a wonderful home for that great little woofie, and he now has a kitty brother to play with!

Next, I want to remind everyone that you only have until midnight tomorrow to get your raffle tickets for the six terrific signs at Cat Friends Helping Friends. Don't miss out on this one!

Also, do you use Fresh Step Litter? If so, you can collect Paw Points from the boxes and donate them to Cat Friends Helping Friends to help pay vet bills for kitties in need. Grr, Midnight & Cocoa have posted full Paw Points instructions on their blog.

And don't forget all the blogosphere kitty action this weekend:

Finally Friday - but Sicky Rocky

Phew, busy week! Now I'm resting up on my Rocky rocker for an even busier weekend ...Actually, I'm not feeling so good. I've been sneezing and moping around and my mom is threatening to take me to the v.e.t. if I don't perk up. So I'm hoping all my friends will purr for me so I don't even have to think about ::shudder:: riding in the car and being poked by the v.e.t.!

Good thing I've already had my carnival barker suit fitting and have all my plans in place for this Sunday's Carnival of the Cats ....

Don't forget to submit your Carnival post here!

Also, Miss Lenda Paw and I would like to remind you that you only have this weekend to buy your tickets for the six wonderful signs being raffled at Cat Friends Helping Friends. For as little as $5 you can decorate your house with them, or save them to give as really unique gifts! And you'll be helping to raise funds for kitties' vet bills ...

... ::Atchooo! Sniffle sniffle:: ... I'd better go now and rest or I might be one of those kitties in need :-(

Finally Friday

Rocky: It's Finally Friday, and it's a wrap! The filming of CCSI 3: Missing Mummy Caper is finally finished and will debut tomorrow. As an esteemed member of the cast, I'm now taking a much needed R&R break ...No, that crime scene tape is NOT there because I was caught doing illegal & illicit things behind the scenes ... it simply got stuck to my handsome floofy mass enhanced posterior when I left the stage set.

Staff: Yeah, right. Go see for yourself. For a small donation to Cat Friends Helping Friends, you can find out the truth about Mr. CEO Big Fuzzy Crime Scene Butt and other cast members!

Rocky: Ah, stuff it, you peons, and give this mega movie star some respect!

Wordy Wednesday: Anonymous Benefactor Revealed!

Rocky: I've finished our bookkeeping for our March Fundraisers, and even though what I have to report will take some words, it's really just too wonderful for words!You see, there just aren't enough words to thank all of you, as well as our anonymous benefactor, enough. Thanks to his generosity (he did much more than just match the funds we raised) we gathered more than $760 in March to help kitties in need! $656.38 will be divided between Moki and Lilly Lu, and the rest will go to Cat Friends Helping Friends and Project H.A.M.

Because he deserves recognition for his incredible act of kindness, I purred the anonymous benefactor into letting me reveal his identity! Here's a clue ... this is the kitty who owns him ...

Recognize her? If not, here's another clue .... her name is Mycah.

Have you guessed yet? If not, here's another clue ... Mycah's bean's name is Russ.

Still haven't guessed? Okay .... *drumroll* .... go HERE!

I hope everyone will go thank our no-longer-anonymous benefactor Russ and Mycah for their amazing contribution! And I personally want to thank each and every one of the more than 20 individual kitties and beans who contributed, either through purchases or donations. You are ALL too wonderful for words!

Callie: Rocky, I'm so excited I have to give you a kiss ... and I don't even like you!
