Awesome Cat Success Story

I know I’m awesome. 

You know I’m awesome.

Thing One knows I’m awesome.

I constantly tell the dog I am awesome.

Recently, however, I realized there was one important group of folks who did not realize I was awesome — namely, the staff at the animal shelter that brought me together with Thing One.

So, I sent the Humane Society of Chittenden County (http://www.chittendenhumane.org/) a note to let them know they had a famous (and fabulous) cat as one of their success stories.   Of course, they agreed that I was awesome (and they’re professionals, so they should know).

I know all my fans will want to help me say “thank you” to the organization that made it possible  for me to meet Thing One and then share my fabulous-ness on the internet.  Dog Time Media sponsors a pet blog contest.  The non-profit shelter or rescue with the most nominations during the nominations phase will be declared the winner of $10,000. That’s a lot of catnip.  The winning bloggers each also get to choose a non-profit shelter to receive a $1000 donation.  That’s still a lot of catnip.

You can nominate us here:  http://petties.dogtime.com/nominate.  Log in with facebook or your e-mail address.  My blog is http://www.catfoodbreath.com/ and my shelter of choice is Humane Society of Chittenden County http://www.chittendenhumane.org/.

Be sure to get all your friends, family, and co-workers to nominate me, too.  It’s easy to do, and remember … I’m worth it.   While I could sweep every category in the awards, consider nominating me for Funniest Blog or Blogger and/or Best Cat Blog.

HSCC Interviews CFB

I sat down with one of the staff from the Humane Society of Chittenden County (HSCC) to reminisce about our shared history.  Here’s their report:

• HSCC:  We were intrigued to learn that you were once here at HSCC.

CFB:  Yes.  It was some time ago, but I remember your place well.

• HSCC:  What did you think of your time here?

CFB:  You have a nice facility.  I wasn’t very polite when I first arrived, but the staff were very welcoming all the same.  The food was excellent.  I received a lot of attention.  Everyone was very kind.  Did I mention the food was tasty?  I had a wonderful room and I made some good cat friends.

• HSCC:  How long were you here?

CFB:  Well, I was prepared to stay there forever.  The food was awesome.  I’d had a bad breakup in my past, and I really didn’t want to get in to a new relationship.  You know.  The staff assured me I could stay until I found a home.  I didn’t want to find a human, I just wanted to hang with my new cat friends and enjoy the snacks.

• HSCC:  But, you were adopted.

CFB:  I know.  I was napping on the cat tree one afternoon after lunch, and Thing One came in the cat room.  I was used to all kinds of people coming in.  Of course folks wanted to meet me, since I am so fabulous, but this was different.  I fell for Thing One instantly.  I can’t explain it, but it was better than catnip.  Almost.  OK, not really.  But I chose Thing One anyway and decided to make a commitment.

• HSCC:  And you’ve lived Happily Ever After?

CFB:  Sort of.  When I picked out Thing One, I didn’t realize Thing Two was part of the deal, but by then it was too late, since we had already completed the paperwork.   Thing Two, as you know, has a dog.

• HSCC:  Here at the Humane Society, we love all animals.

CFB:  Yes, but I don’t.  You know how I feel about dogs.  Would you like a dog?

• HSCC:  No, thank you.  We know your dog has a good home.

CFB:  No comment.

• HSCC:  What would you like people to know about us?

CFB:  Well, you just rock.  You helped me in a tough time, and you brought me together with Thing One and the wonderfully squishy lap.  I am an awesome cat, and you helped make it possible for the world to know that, too.   The accommodations at HSCC are great, and I still remember how you  scratched my ears just right and served a great breakfast.

• HSCC:  Any last words?

CFB:  What’s for lunch?
