Waffles Wednesday: The Sweet Sound of Silence

WAFFLES: This sun puddle's making me sleeeeeee–



WAFFLES:  –py.




About Today's Photos
Waffles has two speeds. He's got twin turbos under that orange fur one minute and the next minute ... he's comatose. The one usually precedes the other and there's no in-between. These shots were taken on Easter SUNday following his daily exercise regime of stair climbing and wand toy chasing. There was likely a game of Let's Catch Katie's Tail too. Don't worry, she's quite a sprinter herself and has a swift left hook.




Congratulations Giveaway Winners!



Trendy Pet's Whisker Friendly Feeder
We had a couple of really awesome giveaways last month and have some lucky winners to announce! BIG congrats to Jennifer H on our Whisker Stress Free Dish giveaway sponsored by Trendy Pet! Jennifer has generously donated her beautiful kitty feeder to Purrfect Pals in Arlington, WA. Shelters can do some really great things with these kinds of prizes. They can be used in raffles and fundraisers, or even as a gift to go home with a newly adopted senior or special needs cat.







Rescued The Stories of 12 Cats Through Their Eyes
Congratulations also to Debra and Annabelle from the beautiful cat blog, Manx Mnews! They're the lucky winners of a pawtographed copy of RESCUED The Stories of 12 Cats Through Their Eyes, a beautiful anthology featuring true stories of love and rescue. Special thanks to Lisa Richman, one of the contributing authors and the creator and cat wrangler behind A Tonk's Tail. Her cat Ryker's story has left a permanent imprint on our hearts.

If you don't have your own copy yet, you can purchase it through the A Tonk's Tail website and on Amazon.

    Co grays to the winners. We may have to get one of those because I really like eating on a pedestal. Waffles and TKS should have a play session and we can watch to see who crashes first

    Waffles Mom almost fainted when she saw that first photos -- she went how did Ping end up in Minnesota? You have a twin down here in Florida not just in looks but in temperament too. Ping has two speeds as well. FAST and OUT.
