THE KITTEN’S CHOICE AWARDS

This post has been more than a week in the making as WordPress was giving me fits and not saving my drafts. Calista had intended for her awards to be announced first! Anyway…

Kitten's Choice Awards: Dilute tortoise shell cat, Calista Josette.

When Calista Josette noticed what was then the upcoming People’s Choice Awards in the TV listings, she asked if she could give out her own awards in categories of her choosing and if I would publish them. I agreed to both, but informed her that I would not be responsible for the wrath the other feline residents might rain down upon her if they don’t agree with her selections. She consented to my terms as she figured she is too cute and petite and can run fast enough to keep out of trouble.

Bet Fiona takes the “Best Behaved” Award. (See my previous posts, “Fiona Gets Special Treatment” and “Good Kitty Fiona.”
