So, we finally made it! Our very first blogoversary. Our first post was one year ago today! This is our 170th. We are particularly excited because our very dear friend, Sammy, and his mom, Pam, from onespoiledcat sent us the most beautiful anniversary card. Isn’t it fabulous! We love how Sammy and Misty May are wearing party hats.
We are so proud of our short-attention-span mom for what she has accomplished in the past year that we wanted to give her an award. It is a little further down the page ’cause we don’t want it to compete with Sammy’s card.
As our mom is very generous, she asked us if she could pass this on to some of her cat blogging friends. How could we refuse? It is our gift to her, and she is free to gift it to others as long as she keeps one for herself. She also asked if she could make the very minimal rules for passing this on. Of course, we said, “yes,” again.
She is passing this on to blogs featuring five or more kitties. She figures that anyone taking care of at least that many feline fur people as well as writing a blog must be a true multi-tasker and so needs this award. She knows that some of those folks even have “real” jobs, husbands, children, dogs and other pets as well as other blogs. And some of them even post everyday!
This is the award we designed and presented to her for our blogoversary. Do you like how it has our mug shots?
Her only requirements for her recipients (if they accept the award) are: Post it on their site, thank us kitties and link back to our site.
Without further ado, here are her recipients:
♥ Jacqueline’s Cat House ♥ Katnip Lounge ♥ The Chronicles of Zee and Zoey ♥ Colehaus Cats ♥ Brian’s Home ♥ Random Felines ♥ Furries of Whisppy ♥ Purrchance to Dream ♥ fourwhitepaws ♥ Critters in the Cottage ♥ Cats of Wildcat Woods ♥ Margs Animals ♥ Tomcat Commentary by Timmy ♥ Nerissa’s Life ♥ Da Tabbies O Trout Towne ♥ The REAL Maple Syrup Mob ♥ on a more personal note ♥ Cat’s Cats: The Fab Five ♥ Lilacs & Cats ♥ Tails from the Foster Kittens ♥ ManxMnews ♥ The Creative Cat ♥ Sometimes Cats Herd You ♥ Jan’s Funny Farm ♥ Cory Cat Blog ♥ HotMBC ♥
Mom wants to meet, follow and share in the joys as well as the trials and tribulations of as many of the brave multi-cat caregivers and their furry families as she can. And she’d love to pass this award on to other current (active and posting with at least one post in July) blogs having five or more kitties that she has not listed. (She realizes that she, by no means, has visited every kitty blog in this past year and will undoubtedly miss some with a house full of felines.)
So if you know of such blogs, she would appreciate it if you would list their URL in a comment. Those of you doing so will be entered in a random drawing for a surprise gift. The more current multi-cat blog URLs you list, the more chances you have to win. Those you list, however, must not have been listed in a previous comment.
All others coming over to pawty and leaving a comment will be entered in a second random drawing for a prize.
To be eligible for prizes, commenters must live in the U.S. or Canada and leave their comment no later than midnight EDT on July 24.
So finally…let’s get this pawty started. We’ve got games, full bird feeders, catnip and plenty of other noms. And especially for Sammy, as thanks for our beautiful card and because he is bringing his special trunk of costumes so we can all play dress up, we’ve got BACON!
Before we go, however, Mom wants to say something. I am so appreciative of the wonderful, caring and compassionate community of bloggers who feature their fur people in their blogs. I had no idea how many friends and kindred spirits I would find who would actually be interested in reading my blog, offering help and suggestions and leaving comments. My heartfelt thanks to each and every one of you. I look forward to writing this blog and reading all your imaginative, inspiring, intriguing and informative blogs for years to come. – Janet
Purrs and hugs to our mom, our followers and all her award recipients, Lily Olivia, Mauricio, Misty May, Giulietta, Fiona, Astrid, Lisbeth and Calista Josette
Thank you so much for your kind nomination! I’m truly touched! I apologize for the delay, as I was away from my computer for the past week. Many congratulations to you and your kitties on your blogversary! 🙂 I’ve subscribed to your blog and look forward to reading about day in the life of your beautiful fur-kids! 🙂
Terrific collection, many thanks for sharing Eric 🙂
I can’t believe I missed this! I swore I was following you through feedly, but when you came and commented last night I just realized I wasn’t.. Guess I missed a step or two adding you to my reader.
Happy Blogoversary! I hope you have many many more (and thank you for the award :D)
Thank you so much for visiting my blog and making me aware of the multi cat award 🙂 I look forward to reading all about you 🙂
We are so pleased that you did come by. Hope you will accept and post your award. We are also looking forward to finding out about your large kitty household. Yippee for new friends! Hugs from both the kitties and me, Janet
Sorry we’re late may we send you belated blogoversary wishes.
Luv Hannah and Lucy xx xx
You’re never too late to stop by. We are just glad that you were able to visit and find a way to comment. We’re sorry you missed the pawty, but there have been so many celebrations lately you may have been too tuckered out anyway. Even though you weren’t here on the 21st, please feel free to grab the reward I created for all attendees. It will be on our post pawty blog. Smooches and scritches from me and hugs from the kitties, Janet
Congratulations! Woot woot! Well you just know any blog about cats is going to do well. 🙂
Hope you and the kitties had a happy Monday!

That is true about cat blogs, most seem very popular. When I decided to do this, I never investigated how many cat blogs were already in existence. That might have discouraged me, so I am glad I didn’t. I always enjoy the gorgeous photos on your blog. The sparrow photos on your most recent post are quite incredible. Isn’t that amazing how that little guy seemed to remember you, came back and let you pet him. We took care of a robin (Edith, All in the Family inspired name) for a long time a very long time ago (prior to having kitties). She had a leg injured by a dog. After she healed we would take her outside everyday. She never flew away and always returned to the inside when we went in, until finally one day she decided it was her time to move on. She was a crazy thing. I might have to find some old photos and tell her story on this bog one day. Purrs and hugs from the kitties and thanks from me for coming by and visiting us, Janet
Thanks very much! It’s been wonderful to meet all of you and hear about your lives, and thanks for the award!
You are one of those multi-taskers and multi-talented people of which I am in awe. Posting four times a day is way beyond my abilities. Throwing in your art and gardening, I always wonder when you sleep. And I am so jealous of you having so many black kitties. I love black kitties so much. We haven’t had one since my “heart” kitty, Thelma, went to the RB many, many years ago. Purrs and hugs from the kitties and many thanks from me for stopping by and picking up your award, Janet
Concats and Happy Blogoversary! Here’s to many more to come and lots more BACON! We love the award for having so many kitties. At one time we would have qualified but we haven’t been adding kitties as spaces opened up because Julie is so feline phobic. But, God bless you for taking in some many.
Four is plenty and we can’t believe MMM would do that well either if you added more kitties. We are so glad that she is improving. It is so heart-breaking that we can’t talk to our fur people and reassure them that everything will be okay. I love checking in on your kitties to see what’s happening and follow Mica Minnie Moo’s progress. Thanks for being one of our followers. Purrs and hugs from the kitties and kisses and scritches from me for all your kits, Janet
Happy Blogoversary!!!! I’m gonna try to come up with a few blogs with 5 or more kittehs for you. Cheshire Love Karma http://cheshireloveskarma.com/ has Cheshire, Meggy, Reggie, Lexie and Karma and maybe a few others. Then there’s Pearl Cat and Her Family. http://pearlcat.wordpress.com/ They haven’t blogged in a long time. Did you mention the Bassie Bulletin? http://mizzbassie.net/
As I mentioned in my e-mail, I will definitely check out these blogs and let you know how many entries you’ll receive for the drawing. We only have two others thus far so the odds of winning are good for each of you. If Pearl Cat hasn’t blogged in a long time, they will not be eligible for an award. On Thursday I will have a little something for everyone who comments prior to midnight tomorrow as I am feeling badly that my kids designed such a specific award. Stay stunning. Purrs and hugs from the kitties and scritches from me, Janet
Congrats on the one year of blogging and thanks so much for thinking of us for the multi cat award.
JC and The Purr and Fur Gang
You are very welcome. As I am new to your blog, I am going to look forward to getting to know all of you, and I hope you will do the same with us. Purrs and hugs from the kitties as well as a hug from me, Janet
Happy blogoversary! *high paws* purrrrrrrrrrrrrs from all of us Hotties and George
Oh, are we bad! You all should have been listed above as an award recipient. We are going to add you now and jump over to your site to let you know to pick up your award. Please, please forgive us for the oversight; though, it probably wasn’t our fault. Mom probably messed up when she was doing the typing. We love you and never would have purposely left you out. Purrs and hugs from, Lily Olivia, Mauricio, Misty May, Giulietta, Fiona, Astrid, Lisbeth and Calista Jo and apologies with extra special hugs and kissies for all from Mom.
Concatulations on your blogoversary! What a wonderful award and all your recipients are deserving! Everybuddy should have lots of kitties! We wish you many more posts in the future! 🙂
Thanks for joining us. We always enjoy stopping by, especially ’cause we like floofy-furred kitties and torties bunches. And we love to see you helping show off all your mom’s beautiful creations. Mom only has one pair of earrings but she is tempted so often to buy more. Mom’s favorite things are cats and jewelry so your site is purrfect according to her. Purrs and hugs from, Lily Olivia, Mauricio, Misty May, Giulietta, Fiona, Astrid, Lisbeth and Calista Jo and hugs and smoochies from Mom
Happy Blogaversary and I am happy you have created something for multi cat households They deserve recognition. xoxoxox
We are so glad the bookmarking thing worked out for you. In the begining, mom had commented as Janet@TheCatonMyHead or janetblue with her photo. A while back she changed to Kitties Blue with two different photos of Fiona. She posted about doing it, but not efurrybuddy reads every post. She made the change ’cause we do 98% of the commenting. Glad the confusion is cleared up now and you can comment when you like. Purrs and hugs, Lily Olivia, Mauricio, Misty May, Giulietta, Fiona, Astrid, Lisbeth and Calista Jo
Thanks to lots of help, I have you book marked and now I know also that you are Kitties Blue. That corn-fuzzled mom. xxxooo
Happy, happy Blogoversary to one of our favorite families of kitties! Here’s to many more years of sharing your fun! And thank you very much for sharing your beautiful Blogoversary award with us! Yippee for big kitty families! Purrs…
Your most recent post was so touching, as you know, since we left you a comment. Our mommy loves all the kitties at your house. Your blog was the one that convinced her to change all the photos on our Felines page to “mug shots.” Your photos were done so well and showed off each kitty purrfectly. The last year has been a huge learning experience with lots of trial and error and sometimes even getting something to work the way she hoped. She is so appreciative to all the experienced bloggers who have shown her the way by their well-done and creative examples. Purrs and hugs, Lily Olivia, Mauricio, Misty May, Giulietta, Fiona, Astrid, Lisbeth and Calista Jo and a smoochy from mom for all your kits.
Concats on one year of blogging! Mom is very confused about Google Plus etc so she can never seem to find your blog posts – now we will get them via email!!! If we can think of any more multi cat blogs we will come back and enter.Thank you for passing this on to us!
We get all our posts from other blogs via e-mail. When mom first started out, a friend explained about Google Reader (of course, now defunct) but it went straight through her head from one ear to the other. So subscribing by e-mail seemed like the best way to go. We are so glad you’ll be able to read and comment when and if you please without expending lots of energy looking for us. Glad you liked your award. Only two in the running for the big prize, so hope you can find some other multi-cat blogs to tell us about. Purrs and hugs from, Lily Olivia, Mauricio, Misty May, Giulietta, Fiona, Astrid, Lisbeth and Calista Jo and a giant hug from mom for your perseverance!
Happy Blogoversary to each and every sweet one of you! We are very happy that your Mama came across us! We love to drop in to see what you are all up to! Thanks also for the award. We appreciate it very much and promise to get a bit more organized to put it and the other sweet award you gave us on a post soon. The hoomans have been getting visitors lately and trying to do everything can get out of our paws when we don’t get the help we demand and deserve!! But we haven’t forgotten you 🙂
Now…about that bacon…we have never tried bacon but it looks as though you may very well be on to something…Yummy!
Here’s to many more years of blogging 🙂
the critters in the cottage xo
We’ve never had bacon either, but it seems to be a favorite among a whole lot of our furiends. We don’t think Mom is planning on giving us any either. Sometimes awards can be a bit of a pain in the butt with lots of rules and questions to answer, but Mom, still being new to this, is very happy they are out there. She knows it means that people are reading and appreciating her efforts, and they can be a huge morale booster on days when she rather be gardening. All that said, we made our award easy to accept and any we do in the future will be much the same. We know how hard it is to get good help. Somedays we rather be in the garden than writing all the comments for her. Purrs and hugs, Lily Olivia, Mauricio, Misty May, Giulietta, Fiona, Astrid, Lisbeth and Calista Jo. Mom sends a big hug as well.
We would like to nominate Mickey’s Musings at
http://mickeytheblackcat.blogspot.ca/
there are six cats – 2 torties, 2 black cats, 2 tabbies
Only four of us left at Team Tabby, all tabbies of course!
Thanks so much for visiting us on our special day and letting us know about the other blog. I’ll drop by and introduce us and let them know they have an award waiting. And you will be entered into a drawing for a special prize. Check back Thursday to see if you are a winner and to pick up a pawty remembrance. Since we are not familiar with your blog, we’ll be popping over to meet you all as well. Purrs from the kitties and thanks from me, Janet
A very Happy first blogoversary. Hope you had a good and fun day. And thanks for giving us that nice award. We sure will put it on a post really soon. Hope you have a good day today too.
Hi Marg, Glad you stopped by and picked up your award. I am still trying to get around to everyone to let them know about it. As I follow most of these blogs, most recipients have found it on their own. Yours should say menagerie award! Thanks for being such a faithful follower. Sending purrs and hugs from all the kits to you and all the furries at your place as well as a hug from me, Janet
Happy First Blogoversary, Kitties Blue (and Mom)! We look forward to many more blogoversaries. 🙂
And a huge thank you for passing the pawsome award to us! We’re sorry we’re late in receiving the award (Mommy has been busy running errands for US! MOL!).
No problem, as long as the errands were for you all. Wish you had been here to join us for the nip and bacon, other noms and a really cool floor show. You’ll still be eligible for our random drawing on Thursday and we’ll have a pawty wrap-up post on Thursday. Extra hugs from me and the kitties since you weren’t with us yesterday, Janet
ConCATulations on your special day! Best Fishes to you and thanks for the bacons! Yum!
Hope you picked up your award while you were here. I’ll stop by your blog with a reminder, just in case you missed it. I am enjoying getting to know you all and look forward to learning more in the future. Hugs all around from me and the kitties, Janet
You had me at “Bacon”! Happy Blogoversary, Furiends! Congratulations 😉
Spitty…you know that you are one of our favorest cats in all the blogosphere, but I think that holds true with anyone who knows you. Please stop back on Thursday for our pawty wrap-up and a special surprise for everyone who dropped by to celebrate. Popping over to your place now to see what’s happening with you. Hugs and head butts from the kitties and a big slobbery kiss from me, Janet

Well, we are sorry you feel you must turn this award down. However, all is not lost. Tune in on Thursday as I will have a little something for everyone who didn’t receive the award. And I do think you will like it. Thanks for visiting and commenting with such frequency. I wish I could get that darn subscription to your blog so it would work. But I have another plan I am going to try. Thanks for all the wonderpurr fish gifts. Purrs and hugs from the kitties and huggies from me, Janet
HAPPY #1!!! Woooot!
And that award is soooooo cool! (uhm, and Allie says she is forever THANKFUL that we can’t receive it, because she thinks TWO bratty brothers are PLENTY) MOL!
Allie, I am so sorry you think your brofurs are bratty as they are such handsome dudes. Since you are not eligible to receive the milti-cat award, check back on Thursday as I will have a surprise for efurrybuddy who attended our celebration. I think you will like it. We always love visiting your blog and will look forward to your being our friends for a long time to come. Purrs and hugs from the kitties and some special kisses from me, Janet
Happy Blogoversary!!
We have 3 kitties and 2 woofies…does that count?
The Florida Furkids
I truly considered that when deciding who should get the award. I even considered counting your two angel kitties. But alas, I went with the plan that the five should be living and breathing kitties. But I will have something on Thursday for efurrybuddy who visited today. I really hope you will like it and display it as proudly as you would an award. Thanks so much for being our friends and celebrating with us today. Purrs and huggies from the kitties with extra hugs from me, Janet
Happy Blogoversary!!! We know what it’s like to have a mom chase after so many of us…and we don’t make it easy. Nope!
Then you all and your mom definitely need the Multi-Cat Blog Award! It is tough to keep track of a huge bunch of kitties and keep each one happy and out of trouble, but I’m sure your Mom, like me, wouldn’t have it any other way. Thanks for sharing our big day with us. Purrs and hugs from the kitties and hugs all around from me, Janet
Happy 1st Blogoversary, precious friends!…Thank you for inviting us to your fun party and thank you again for thinking of us with your cool blog award!…We are so glad to be your friends and always love visiting you sweeties…Wishing you adorable kitties and your wonderful Mommy the very best and many more blogoversaries!!…kisses…Calle, Halle, Sukki, Mommy Cat, Daddy Cat
Jacqueline, you and your lovely fur people were some of the first to befriend me and my kitties. I will never forget that as I appreciated it so much. I always look forward to looking in on all of you; even though, Calle, Halle and Sukki are usually in dreamland. As our kitties’ dad always reminds me: It takes a lot of sleep to grow and maintain all that floofy fur! Hugs and purrs from the kitties along with thanks and extra hugs from me, Janet
Happy Blogoversary! We came by to leave this comment and found we’re among those receiving your award. What a nice way for you to celebrate. Thank you.
We came by to ask if you could check your emails so we can go forward on the interview. We need some info from you. Thanks.
I know I have been remiss in getting this info to you. Now that I have made it past this first anniversary, it is top on my list. I would be an idiot to let such a wonderful opportunity pass us by. Thank you so much for your patience and expect to hear more from me later in the week. Purrs and hugs from he kitties and big thanks from me for planning this upcoming interview. Those you have already done have been some of my favorite things to read. Janet
Happy Blogoversary!! And thanks for the award….how very cool and we love the graphic. It has been fun getting to know you. 🙂
I think you are an angel for taking care of your own kitties and so many fosters. The number of kitty lives you have impacted and helped save is staggering. And that your fur people allow you to do so is pawesome as well. And to have time to blog on top of all that, blows my mind. Do you ever sleep? Hope efurrybuddy enjoys the party. Purrs and hugs from the kitties and a giant hug of appreciation from me for all you do, Janet
Happy FESRT Blogaversary Miss Janet n me Kittehz Blue!!! Diz iz pawsum n me iz so glad to be a part of yer furamily!! WE iz gonna have sum nip n bacon….if Sammy will share wif me!!!!
Let’s go pawty!!!
Lub Nylablue n Mum Sherriellen xoxoxoxoxoxo
Nylablue, our very sweet sisfur, we are so glad that you feel well enough to join us today. It wouldn’t be a pawty without you. Mom’s been cooking bacon all day. We think she’s probably cooked at least three pig’s worth. She had no idea how much kitties like bacon. She’s now wondering why the cat food manufacturers don’t make bacon flavored food. We don’t really eat people food ’cause most of us hurl if we do, but we’ve been checking out the nip. Purrs and hugs and prayers that you health continues to improve from your sisfurs and brofur and oodles of love from Mom to you and Sherri-Ellen. And xoxoxoxoxo back to you.
Happy Blogoversary! And what a great award! Of course we are very deficient in the multi kitty area, but are very happy that there are so many deserving friends out there!! Love your blog 🙂 xx
Thanks for coming by today to play and pawty. I am feeling a little guilty that my fuzzy kids made such a specific award and I plan to have something for everybody who came by today later in the week. I really appreciate all of you have accepted me into your community. Purrs and hugs from the kitties and a special hug from me, Janet
What a wonderful milestone! Concats on the one year blogoversary and we are so very happy to have found you! We thoroughly enjoy your warm, humorous, and honest writing style and the beautiful pictures you share of your sometimes mischievous gang! Thank you for thinking of us for the multi-cat blog award – we love being a multi-cat family and everyday is filled to the brim with joy, love, and companionship from our feline family members.
Concats again and love and purrs from Deb (the token human), Zee, Zoey, Mia, Peanut, Rolz, Harley, Jazz, and Kizmet
Thanks for the lovely comment. Deb, you are one of the bloggers I really admire and one of those super multi-taskers. Hope your dream to get on Ellen happens for you. The effort you have put in definitely needs to be rewarded. Thanks for your great cat advocacy posts as well. Purrs and hugs from the kitties and a super big hug from me, Janet
A very happy ONE Year Blogoversary! This is momentous!!! We are so thrilled to be joining you for a pawty and thank you so much for including us with your well designed award. Thank you we will be sharing it on our blog. Now onto the pawty.
I am so glad you stopped by today. I always enjoy reading your blog and seeing what your fur people have been doing. I really hope that Boo will be back to good health very soon. So pleased she has stopped hurling. Enjoy the pawty. We think you will really enjoy the floor show. Purrs and hugs from the kitties and prayers from me for Boo, Janet
Happy blogaversary! Really love that award – it’s so cute! I think you’ve named all the +5 cat blogs that I follow already. I know of one that has 4 cats 🙂 peacelovenwhiskers.com. Thanks for the pawsome party!
So glad you were able to join us today. We know several four-cat houses with blogs. I have been feeling pretty guilty today that the kitties made the award so specific. I am thinking I will have a little something in a few days for everybody who stopped by today. I appreciate the support and kind comments so very much. Purrs and hugs from the kitties and a big hug from me too, Janet
Concatulations on your 1st blogoversary!
Thank you so much for stopping by today. We haven’t been following your blog for very long, but we hope to learn more about you as time goes by. Purrs and hugs from the kitties and a hug from me as well, Janet

Wow! We only have 3 cats and 2 dogs at our house! Me can’t imagine what it would be like if wes had more than that!
What’s that Mommy? We can only has 4 cats per house in our village? Who made that rule?
Kisses
Nellie
Oh Me forgot
We are only allowed four kitties in our city if they have not been spayed or neutered. If they have been, six per household are allowed. We tried to stay within the rules for many, many years, but just gave up. The Cat Dad won’t let me exceed the eight, however. Even if animal control decided to check us out, they’d be lucky to find six in one place at one time. Thank you for the great song. I have always wondered how you get all the special characters when you send your songs. Care to share the secret? Thanks so much for visiting us today. Purrs and hugs from the kitties and a big hug from me as well, Janet
CONGRATULATIONS! Happy Blogoversary!!! Hmmm…
Happy blogoversary, happy blogoversary, happy blogoversary, haaap-py blogoversary.

Happy blogoversary, happy blogoversary, happy blogoversary, haaap-pyh blogoversary!
And thanks so much for the award! It’s a real beauty, for sure. I’m gonna go post it right now in the sidebar and then officially accept it in a post specially for awards and other special things. THANK YOU!
Purrs,
Nissy
MOUSES! Slight typo. There’s no ‘h’ at the end of happy. Sorry ’bout that. purrs
So glad you could come by today. Your blog is always so clever and is one of my very favorites. Really hope you, Dash and Savvy have some additional legs to your trip. We’re all stuck in limbo. Thanks so much for the singing. It was lovely. Purrs and hugs from the kitties and an extra big hug from me, Janet
Happy blogaversary to you all! I love you guys! =^.^=
We are so tickled that your most recent trip on Nocturne is complete so you could join us today. Are you outside somewhere watching the Tour de France? Don’t forget to send us a nice head shot so we can include you in our family as an honorary Blue Kitty. Purrs and hugs from the kitties and a big smooch from me, Janet
Sammy told me about your blog. Very cute. Happy 1st blogoversary.
We will have to give Sammy some extra hugs and bacon. Thanks so much for dropping by and meeting us. Hope to see you again. Purrs and hugs, Lily Olivia, Mauricio, Misty May, Giulietta, Fiona, Astrid, Lisbeth and Calista Jo
Happy Blogaversary from our Horde to yours! we thought of the Wildcat Woods gang right away, they have many many many kitties, four of which are pure white! http://wildcatwoodscats.blogspot.com/
We love reading about your adventures, and your comments on our blog are always great–thanks for blogging!
And Thank you for the award!
Cats of the Wildcat Woods are included in my original list, but I am sure they will be excited that you also thought of them. When I first found your blog, you were the only one with more kitties than we have. All my hints to our Cat Dad that eight is not enough as well as sharing your blog with him, unfortunately, haven’t changed his mind. I absolutely love your diverse group and seeing and reading about their antics. Purrs and hugs from the kitties and prayers from me that your knee will soon be 100 percent and prayers that your kits’ dad’s injuries prove not to be as severe as thought, Janet
Congratulatons! v.
Thank you so much for coming by today. I so appreciate all my blogging friends who are sharing things other than the antics of their animals. And your photos are always so gorgeous. Purrs and hugs from the kitties and a hug from me, Janet
Happy blogoversary, dear pals! We love your blog, and wish you many, many more blogoversaries.
Thanks for inviting us to your party. It’s so nice to be here to celebrate your special day!
Hugs!
The feeling is mutual! I really appreciate what you do. The kitties have their paws crossed and I have been voting for you in the Petties Awards. We really hope you win in your category. It certainly would be well deserved. Purr and hugs from the kitties and thanks from me for reading and commenting, Janet
Happy blogoversary!!! Congrats, hugs, and kisses! So proud of you!
Thank you so much Meredith. Without your instruction, guidance, support and comments sustaining me in the beginning when I only had a couple of readers, I am quite sure I would not have reached this day. With hugs and purrs from the kitties and my love and sincere appreciation, Janet
P.S. I sure miss seeing you and your mom, of course.
Happy Anniversary!
Thank you, Jeanne. It means a lot to me that my non-blogging friends are reading and enjoying the blog. Purrs and hugs from the kitties and, of course, a big hug from me as well, Janet
Seems we were in a bacon fog. This is our post with Awards. Thanks again
WOWSER!! Thank you all for the award..we’re gonna put it on our blog and tell every one about our new friends! Concatulations on your first anniversary…..guess what guess what….we are celebrating THREE birthdays today so getting an award is making the birthdays even more special.
We’re a bit excited now..so we should probably have a nap before we do the award/birthday post!
Enjoy the bacon!
Kisses

“Mmmmmmm Bacon”
I absolutely had no idea how much kitties like bacon until I met Sammy. Our eight get very little people food, mostly because they tend to hurl. I do believe that Lily has licked some bacon grease after we’ve cooked the bacon, but that is the extent of it. If you all eat so much that you need to hurl, please wait until you get home. Thanks so much for reading and commenting with regularity. It really means a lot to me. Purrs and hugs from the kitties and a great big thanks from me, Janet
BACON!
Wait, we needed to tell you happy blogaversary first, because that’s a big milestone. We really enjoy reading your blog, and we’re so happy to have you in the blogosphere!
Now, about that bacon…
We are so glad you joined us today at our party. Since Newton has a fondness for shiny things, we hope you will join us again on Thursday when I have a surprise gifty for efurrybuddy who stopped by to pawty with us. Did Newton tell you that he was dressing up in all of Sammy’s costumes and was the life of the party? I just love kitties who aren’t afraid to have a good time. Purrs and hugs from my kitties to yours and hugs from me as well, Janet
Happy Blogoversary Kitties Blue and Janet. The award you made is very beautiful. I hope you plan to display it on your site. The card Sammy sent you is nice, too. You are blessed with many bloggy friends. I’m sure glad you came along because I love reading the updates from the kitties (and you, too, Janet!). Concatulations on your 1 year anniversary!
Beverly, Thanks for all your support. Thank you, especially, for the two awards you have passed on to me. Since we are both still newbies, I think it is nice to have each other’s support. Purrs and hugs from the kitties and a big hug from me, Janet
P.S Thanks for posting that lovely photo of Sophie. You know how much I had been wanting to meet her.
HAPPY HAPPY FIRST BLOG-O-VERSARY!!!!!
Well, we don’t rate, we just have a cat and a dog……..does having TWO blogs count? MOL!
Regardless, we love ya and HAVE A GREAT BLOG-O-VERSARY!
Caren, Cody and Dakota
I am feeling a little guilty about not having something for everyone, since I really appreciate all of you who have been so faithful about reading and commenting. I think I may have a little surprise for everyone who dropped by and commented today a little later in the week. Purrs and hugs from the kitties and many thanks from me, Janet
Concatulations times a elebenty squillion! What a great blog award you guys made, its as special as you are! Keep posting your adventures, we loves to read about all your life and times! (and Tipp is getting some ideas cause he’s been working up to sleeping on mom’s head! He’s made it as far as her neck….. yikes!)
I love the kits sleeping on my head, except when it is as hot as it has been and when Misty May decides to drape herself across my face so I can’t breathe and end up with a mouthful of fur. Good luck Tipp on making it past your mom’s neck. The neck is also a great snuggly place, however. Purrs and hugs from the kitties and thanks from me for stopping by today to celebrate, Janet
Happy Blogoversary gang! Fur sure flies when you’re having fun and we always enjoy visiting with you. Thanks for sharing that very cool multi-cat award with us!!!
Dear Brian, your fur sibs, and Terry, You all have been such an inspiration and the most helpful to me when I have become mired in WordPress. I am so appreciative. Without the help from my fellow bloggers, I fear I would be foundering out there in the blogosphere never to be found. It is that spirit of helpfulness and support that has made me feel apart of this huge family of special bloggers. Enjoy your award. Purrs and hugs from the kitties and my heartfelt thanks, Janet
Happy, Happy One Year to you all! We are happy you are here!
Thank you so much for coming by today and so often. I really appreciate your comments, just as I appreciate your clever and versatile blog. Hope you’ll stay with us as we move into year two. Purrs and hugs from the kitties and an extra big hug from me, Janet
Happy Blogging Anniversary. We hope you have many more. Have a serene Sunday.
Best wishes Molly
Thank you so much for featuring us on your blog today. It is so exciting that we might get to meet some new woofies or kitties by them seeing us on your blog. We sure hope they will then drop by and participate in our celebration. It was so wonderful of Austin to suggest us to you and that the special post is appearing on our anniversary. Purrs and hugs from the kitties and my sincere thanks, Janet
Dear Miss Janet and Kitties…..HAPPY BLOGAVERSARY!! I’m glad you liked the card I made with Mom’s help – we adore your blog and all of you and are ever so happy we met – we can gripe about the Virginia weather with you too! I see you’ve serving piles of bacon so I hope you don’t mind if I just curl up and EAT a big pile of it….yum. I think the new award you cats made for your Mom is gorgeous…..my Mom says it SEEMS like there are at least five cats around here thanks to me and my antics but you do have a lot of friends who have a house full of kitties who will LOVE that beautiful badge you made! Here’s to MANY more years of happy, fun blogs…….we send SAMMY HUGS and HUMAN HUGS on your special day.
Love, Sam and Pam
Dear Sam, you may have as much bacon as you want. It is there for you’re pleasure. You just must promise not to hurl. Though we live a couple of hours away from each other, I feel like we are neighbors, and I consider you and Pam to be some of my best friends. If not for Pam’s instructions, we would not have that award. I look forward to reading about you every single day and am so honored that you and your mom enjoy stopping by to see what we are doing and always leaving a nice comment. My goal now is for us to meet in person. Purrs and hugs from the kitties and love from me, Janet
Happy blogoversary! I knew I had a lot of blogging friends who were part of big families, but it was so great to see so many of them mentioned in your award! The only one you missed, off the top of my head (’cause I just was over there) is http://www.pikkupunapippuri.com – they are based in Finland and at the moment have a dozen kitties in their family! (They have had more!)
Thank you Sparkle. I did know about that blog and have read it. But when I went looking for it, I couldn’t spell it. Thank you so, so much for giving me their URL. They will get the Multi-Cat Award and you get an entry in our special prize drawing. When I started reading other cat blogs, your’s was one of the first ones I found. I was hooked and hoped that eventually you would be one of my readers. And I am so appreciative and thankful that you are. Purrs and hugs from the kitties and a additional thanks from me, Janet
Kitties Blue recently posted…OUR FIRST BLOGOVERSARY
Hi There!
Nice to meet you all, thank you for stopping by out blog, and of course Happy Blogoversary!
We have been away from the blogosphere for a while, well over a year actually, which is why we haven’t met….. Mom has been through a bunch of stuff in her life (or so she says), but now we are back!
We hope to see you around often – you guys sound like fun!
As for 5 cats……… We are short one…… Unless you count our Angel Gracie <3 Then we would be five 😀
Hugs, and have a wonderful Sunday!
The kitties and I are looking forward to getting to know you. Thanks so much for coming by today and commenting. Here’s to a long-term relationship. Purrs and hugs from the kitties and a hug from me as well, Janet
Happy 1st blogoversary! May you enjoy many more! We’re one kitty short for the award but can we have a double order of bacon?
Don’t despair. My Irish Catholic guilt is kicking in since the kitties made such a specific award. Check back in a few days. I think there will be something for everybody who joined us today. I really appreciate your blog. I have learned a lot there. Purrs and hugs from the kitties and a hug from me as well, Janet
Congratulations on your blogiversary!!!
You have been a wonderful addition to the entire cat blogging community. I wish you many more years of blogging success!!
Thank you so much, Cujo. I highly regard your opinion as I think you are one of the most talented and amusing bloggers around. Whenever an e-mail arrives indicating you have a new post, I cannot wait to open and read it as I know I am going to laugh my ass off (well that actually hasn’t happened yet, but I keep hoping). Purrs and hugs from the kitties and another GIANT THANKS from me. Janet
