Put cats on your table and help kitties in need!

Rocky: I'm overturning that rule about "No cats on the table!" .....I made my human artists come up with a way to permit cats on your dinner table ... and help some kitties with their vet bills, too! We're having a special sale on our new cat charm Napkin Rings and Wine Glass Charms, and ...

20% of all proceeds will go to Criz and Moki.

I made my artists design lots of them in Thanksgiving and Christmas colors so you can adorn your holiday table with ... CATS! Here are a few examples but you can see them all at the Artsy Catsy Gallery ...

Napkin Rings ...

Wine Glass Charms ...

Hey, my fellow felines ... if our humans put these kitties on the table, they have no excuse for not letting us up there! Yum - turkey time is comin' up!!

And don't forget, our sale on Hair Bands and Kitty Keychains has been extended until November 16, with 20% of proceeds still going to Moki and Beau!

Phinally Phriday

Rocky: Phew! It's phinally Phriday and I am so totally phatigued my lips are phlapping too much to speak properly ...

It's been a week of holding special sales to help Beau, Moki and Callie ... and we've decided to extend the sale prices on keychains, hair bands, ceiling fan pulls and cat greeting cards until November 16 so we can help them even more. And later today we're adding some great new items for Thanksgiving and Christmas - kitty napkin rings and wine glass charms, so be sure to check them out this evening at Artsy Catsy's Gallery! It's a great way to let some kitties get on your holiday table!!

It's also been a week of worrying about Callie. She goes back to the vet again today at 5:30 to have her thyroid checked to see if that's why she's lost nearly 4 pounds. Callie, if I could give you some of my fats & floofs, I surely would.

Have a phantastic weekend, everykitty!

Callie Update!

Callie: Hey, I'm not getting older, I'm just getting better ... although skinnier. Good news!! Dr. Shew said my blood work shows everything is not only normal, but exceptionally good for a ladycat my age - blood sugar, kidney function, liver function etc. So tomorrow I'm supposed to go let him drain more of my blood for a thyroid test ... which is why I have this evil look on my face ...

Thank you all so much for your purrs & purrayers - they worked! Now if you wouldn't mind purring for my thyroid?

Let there be peace on Earth

and let it begin with me.

Worn Out Wednesday

Callie vet update: Callie just returned from the vet. Dr. Shew checked her thoroughly and found no gross signs of tumors, and her mouth is fine, but she's down to only 6 pounds. Dr. Shew drew blood for a geriatric blood screening - liver & kidney function etc. - a CBC and blood sugar test among others, and we'll have the results tomorrow. He suspects that she might have diabetes, since she's eating ravenously and still losing weight, but we should know something for certain tomorrow.

Thank you all so much for your purrs & purrayers - they mean so much!

Rocky: It was a long night last night! At 7 p.m. Callie and I settled on the couch with our human artist to watch the election results, all of us laser-eyed with excitement ... And in the middle of the night, after Callie pooped out on us, I had to beg that silly woman to go to bed and stop shouting "YES WE DID!" .. Today I'm busy giving good luck purrs to Callie, and I hope you can join me. She's going to the vet at 5:30 this evening to find out why she's losing so much weight. I'll let you know just as soon as we have any news, and we're hoping it's all good.

Kitties, Cast Your Vote!

Rocky: Since beans say it's illegal for cats to vote in the U.S., the superior species has taken matters into our own hands. Kitties, your beans can cast your vote for President HERE!

Early voting shows Obama with 51%, McCain with 36% ... but go let your voice be heard ...

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 ...
