Cat Writers

Chanel here with our most recent travel report:

Mom and I went to St Louis last week for the Cat Writers Association annual conference. Mom got to see some of her cat friends and I got to hang out in my stroller and be admired.

The windows had a great ledge so I could sleep up there and watch the world go by outside.

Mom and Miss Julie went to go see this big metal arch thingie. They did NOT go up inside of it but did wander through the museum and watched a cool movie about it being built. They also did not bring me back any hamburgers.

Mom and Miss Julie also went to this cat cafe (Mauhaus) and spent some time with other cats. Since they are looking for homes of their own, I guess this was OK, but whatever....

Otherwise, Miss Julie brought me a new wand toy that is fabulous. I got to play in the tub AND the sink (though mom and Miss Julie kept yelling something about "WET CAT"). I met lots of new people and gave mom a hard time about putting on my harness. We went to a book signing and the awards banquet, though I went back up to the room right before dinner since mom knew it would be noisy.

Oh - and they seemed to think this video was funny for some reason:

Thankful Thursday

We seem to say it alot, but we are VERY thankful to be a part of this cat and pet blogger community.

And now, in addition to just screwing around here on the web and on facebook, we have an official announcement:

Mom is now an associate member of the Cat Writers Association

Mom had to submit a story from the blog along with other information. We have been doing this a while, but mom wanted to send something to show our serious side. She could have sent Bourbon's story, but thought that might be a little long. Then she thought about sending this story. What can we say - it was late one night when she was thinking about this (cause really mom?? send a dog story to get admitted to a cat association ....you are SO smart). And then she knew which story to send:

Licorice

when mom first found her last summer

amazing how far she has come

and now at Petsmart waiting for her forever family

We want to thank the CWA for allowing mom to become a member. And we especially want to thank Miss Debbie from Glogirly (you know - the home of Katie and Waffles) for agreeing to sponsor mom.
