Hello from Mr. Milky

Mr. Milky: Rocky is allowing me to post as a guest today to show off my new video ...

My Artsy Catsy mom came to visit me yesterday, and then she and DadStan took me to Dr. Shew to have a pedicure. I didn't mind at all - I love road trips, even in the snow! I don't even have to be put in a PTU - I just sit calmly on a lap in the car and watch the world go by.

And guess what? I now weigh more than 12 pounds! I've doubled my weight since I came to Artsy Catsy to be rescued! See how much better I look than I did before.

I want all my sick kitty friends to have a miraculous recovery like I did. It could never have happened without the kind and loving cats and beans in the Cat Blogosphere who helped with my vet bills. So I'd like to take this opportunity to remind you of a couple of fundraisers that will help our sick friends become as healthy and happy as I am now ...

Moki's Auction for Miles, Misty, Tucker, Beau & Moki

And at Artsy Catsy's Gallery, 40% of all sales between now and Dec. 31 will be donated to Miles & Billy, Misty, Beau and Criz Cats Sanctuary

I'll see you soon - Happy Holidays!

Book Bookkeeping

Rocky: It's book Bookkeeping Day at Artsy Catsy, and I'm calculating how many green papers we raised in the Book Auction for Billy Sweetfeets' and Beau's vet bills ...

Karen Jo won the books Category 7 and Critical
Peggy & the Cats won Blood Lies and Deadly Errors
Scooby & Spikey won Loving Our Cats and To Bend Without Breaking
Zippy, Sadie & Speedy won Obsession and Black and Blue
Spirit & Ezra won Listening with the Heart and Family Guide to Asthma
The Cat Realm won Restitution
Charlemagne & Tamar won Forever Liesl

If you don't get a comment or email from me shortly, please email me at artsycatsy(at)yahoo(dot)com with your mailing address and I'll send you payment instructions!

Also, since there have been so many sick kitties in the Cat Blogosphere lately - and it's just WRONG to be sick and have big vet bills at Christmas - I've taken every piece of my mom's jewelry inventory and set up a huge, emergency

HOLLY JOLLY JEWELRY SALE

There are more than 50 Artsy Catsy original Crazy Cat Ladies and one-of-a-kind necklaces, bracelets and earrings, all sale-priced until Dec. 21 ... and 40% of the proceeds will be given to Miles & Billy, Misty, Criz and Beau.

Oh, what the heck - I'm gonna give them 40% of EVERYTHING sold from our Artsy Catsy Gallery before Christmas! The best stocking stuffer in the world for these kitties and their caring beans would be enough green papers to pay the vet bills and get their furbabies healthy again!

Have a magnificent Monday, everyone!

Fundraiser for Beau and Moki ... and Callie, too

Monday update from Rocky: Callie is scheduled to see the vet Wednesday, so I'll update everyone as soon as we have news. Thank you all so much for your purrs & purrayers and help!

Also, kinda suddenly, Mr. Milky moved into his furever home yesterday with his new dad Stan, even before we could have a going away party for him. But I'm planning a newhousewarming party for him soon, just as soon as we get Callie taken care of. I didn't get to go along, but I hear that Mr. Milky's new home is purrfect! He has a wonderful 3-level house by a lake and beautiful gardens in a secluded area with no traffic, and a big deck and patio where he can lounge in the sun. Plus, he's now an only pet, so he gets ALL the attention from his adoring new dad Stan! My mom will have pictures for you soon ... right now she's a little sad, 'cause she misses Milky, but she knows this is for the best.

Rocky: Our furriends Beau and Moki need some help with their vet bills. They're such loving, generous kitties that when Deb & ML's Auctions raised some money for them, they donated it to Criz to help Janice! All of us at Artsy Catsy are so honored to be a part of this kind and wonderful Cat Blogosphere family!

To be honest, we could use a little help, too. My Catministrative Assistant, Callie, needs to go to the vet and this economy thing is putting some big biteys on my human artists. Callie is 18 years old and has been losing lots of weight even though she eats all the time. Here she is just a few months ago, all plump and floofy ... But here she is today, and my human artist is getting very worried ...

So I've decided to offer some of our new Artsy Catsy products at reduced prices this week, and give 20% of the proceeds to Beau and Moki, and then get Callie a checkup. Here are some samples of what we have, and you can see them all HERE.

Kitty Charm HAIRBANDS










and KEYCHAINS for Kitty Lovers:

We hope you'll go see them all on our Gallery Blog, and if you see something you like, you'll be helping Beau and Moki and Callie, too ... and get some Christmas shopping done early!

And I tell you what ... on every order of $30 or more, I'm gonna throw in a FREE Artsy Catsy bookmark!

If you don't need keychains or hairbands, but you'd like to make a small donation to Beau, Moki and Callie, 100% of your donation will be used for their vet bills ...

~~ Thank you so much for everything you do! ~~

P.S. Don't miss the auctions the ever-wonderful Miss Peach is having to help Beau, Criz, and Callie, too ... including these adorable calico kitty pins ...
