Happy 6th Blogoversary to us!!!

Who would have thought we would come so far and still be around???

Some numbers for you:

We started fostering in 2006, meaning as of now, we have been in the foster business for 10 years!! Wow!

With the current kittens in residences, we have fostered a total of 234 cats and kittens.118 female, 116 male. Huh....that IS interesting.

Not to mention various dogs and cats driven on transport. :)

Some blog stats:
             1527 posts....who would have thought???
             In the last month our July Blog the Change post got the most views
             Overall views: more than 244,000
             Top traffic sources: Feedly, Cat Blogosphere, Broken Teepee (thanks Miss Patty)
             Views by country: mostly the US, then Russia, Ukraine and various European countries
             Other things mom found interesting: 41% use Foxfire, 22% use Chrome, 62% are Windows users

Not bad considering when we started mom mainly thought she was talking to herself.  MOL


We lost some of our permanent residents and gained some as well. We have gained and lost friends - some we have met in person and some we have not. We have seen our community band together to help those in need and blog to make changes to the world around us. Mom has traveled to Blog Paws and BarkWorld and met some great cat people in person!!

Mom figures she would still do this as a way to document us and the fosters, but knowing that others are out there - enjoying our pictures, sharing in our highs and lows and enjoying what we talk about (and maybe sometimes learning something) - that is so important as well.
In that spirit, we are giving back to ave a comment and we will put together a prize package and mail it out to one winner. Since mom has never really gotten to be more than her techno-dork self, we will just take all the names, put them in a container and let a kitten pick one out. US, International - everyone is welcome. (we will announce the winner on Friday, so we will take comments made through Thursday 11pmEST)

We love you all and THANK YOU for being our friends!!  We know we don't comment as often as we should sometimes, but know we are around.

Oh - and for a quick laugh - all the kittens have been out for the last few days (talk about chaos). Mom was trying to get video of Tamarind and Cinnamon playing when someone wandered through the shot.....

  7. Wow, that's a long time in computer years, and a lot of fostering. It's strange how the male/female ratio is almost exactly the same.

    I feel the same about having someone read my blog. I do it mainly as a record of my wonderful beasts, but it's good to have people notice and enjoy, too.
