Caturday Cards (on Sunday) - The Winner and New Cards

As you all know, yesterday Heather and I had a very special house call to make, and as such, Caturday Cards was bumped to today. 

It was probably for the best because just this morning, we received an email from Prancer of Prancer Pie, the winner of last week's Caturday Cards Contest. He and his mom T told us that they had received the card, and that they plan to frame it for the wall. They even included a picture of Prancer posing with the card!

A big thanks to Prancer and the gang for sending on this photo. It lit up our day!


This week's set of cards tend to fall into the 'birthday' category, as we received a large request from a stationary shop nearby for birthday cards with ages written upon them.

I suppose when the mice start running for their little lives, it's due time for the cat to do the same. Especially if big, scary number is falling out of the sky!


Okay, so, I had my Polaroid camera with me, and I took a number of silly shots of myself, hoping that one of them would work for this card. Heather said all of them were cute, so we used the entire set!

Kind of embarrassing, but I think I might have been jamming to the Catstreet Boys in my car at the time!

This is Missy, the pretty and ultra fashionable cat lady you might have seen in our other cards, on her 21st birthday. She knows what it means to "shop 'till you drop"!

All cards can be found at My Friend Fluffy's Online Shop. (A portion from every sale goes to Cats Protection to help with the housing of abandoned cats.) 

Hope you enjoyed today's edition of Caturday Cards, and we look forward to reading your comments and criticisms! 

(In closing, we would also like to take a moment of silence to remember the tragic events of 10 years ago in New York City. I was only young when it happened, but the anguished faces of those affected by 9/11 are firmly engraved into my memory. I hope that the families of the deceased find some solace and peace on this day of mourning.)

Helping Sammy, Andy and Shelly (SAS) Get Back on their Paws

Up until yesterday, Heather and I, being greenhorns in the cat blogging world, had never heard of Mom Judy and her three cats, Sammy, Andy and Shelly (or SAS as they are known!). We were incredibly saddened to find out that this lovely family is under threat of separation due to unexpected financial issues. However, we were also deeply touched by the heartfelt reaction of the cat blogging community. 

Bloggers worldwide have been donating money, holding comment-a-thons, and taking part in a charity auction, all to help the SAS family get back on their paws and feet.

Since we love making greeting cards, we thought that we'd like to help SAS out in our own special way. We have decided to donate eight of our greeting cards to the auction. If you would like to bid, please visit Marg's site Helping Our Needy Furiends and leave a comment with a bid where you see a picture of our cards. You have until August 26th to bid, so head on over to the site as soon as paw-sible!
