Getting Out the Vote Kitty-Style

Just One More Day! 

Tuesday, November 6 is Election Day in the US. Please let your voices (and meows) be heard. 

WAFFLES:  Can you hear me, Boss? Just want to make sure my meows are heard.

KATIE:  Don't worry, Waffles. Even the neighbors can hear you.

Strange Bedfellow Cats #WafflesWednesday

WAFFLES:  Hey Boss, I bet no one will ever believe we're sleeping together.

WAFFLES:  I better change my Facebook status to In a Relationship.

KATIE:  Wow... I had the strangest dream. What a nightmare. 

About Today's Photos

It's not often we post photos from our iPhone, but this morning's pics were so good, or rather shocking, we HAD to share. Gloman took the day off and unexpectedly showed up at home shortly before noon. This was the bedroom scene he walked into. If he hadn't had his iPhone with him, no one would ever believe it. 

Especially Katie.

Happy Birthday GLOGIRLY: Comment-A-Thon & Giveaway!

WAFFLES:  ♫  Badcats! Badcats! ♫  Whatcha gonna do? ♫  ... Hey Boss! Do think I make a good Badcat?

KATIE:  Well, you make a good oxymoron.

WAFFLES:  BOSS! That's not nice! I'm not a mor–

KATIE:  Settle down, Waffles. An oxymoron is just a figure of speech. You know, where you take two words that look like they'd be contradictory and stick them together in a sentence. For example, "That's a FINE MESS you've gotten yourself into."

WAFFLES:  What do you mean?  I didn't make a mess. Yet. Today.

KATIE:  And Badcat. That's an oxymoron too.

WAFFLES:  Oh yeah, because cats are good, right? Ok, I think I got this. So the oxymorman–

KATIE:  You mean oxymoron.

WAFFLES:  So Glogirly's birthday is an oxymoron on account of her name is GloGIRLY, but she's really OLD.

KATIE:  Waffles, that's the kind of oxymoron that's REALLY going to get you into that fine mess I was telling you about. Why don't we just wish Glogirly a Happy Birthday before it's too late.

WAFFLES:  You mean before she's even OLDER?

It's a Happy Birthday Comment-A-Thon!
We asked Glogirly what she'd most like to have for her birthday present. Despite my recommendation of a one-way ticket to Pricilla's Goat Ranch for Waffles, she settled on something really special –  helping our kitty friends that don't have homes.

For every comment you leave for us today, we're going to donate $1 to help the shelter cats of Minnesota's Feline Rescue! We're hoping you'll tell all your friends because Glogirly wants a REALLY nice birthday present.

You can write anything you'd like for your comment:
♥︎  Tell us about a cat you rescued.
♥︎  Tell us about a cat who rescued you.
♥︎  Tell us your favorite oxymoron...
♥︎  Whatever you want!


But wait, there's MORE!
. . . it's a GIVEAWAY!

TEN lucky GLOGIRLY readers who leave comments today will be randomly selected to receive one of our exclusive photo greeting cards from our ZAZZLE shop. It's a brand new design and we think you're going to LOVE it! This giveaway is open worldwide!

Glogirly's Having WHAT Done in her Mouth???

WAFFLES:  Hey Boss? Where's Glogirly going? And how come she's acting all loopy? Did Gloman give you your breakfast too? I don't think he gave me enough food.

KATIE:  Waffles, Glogirly's going to the dentist. Actually, it's an endodontist. 

WAFFLES:  Endo-what test? Why does she have to take a test? Gosh, I hope she studied.

KATIE:  Waffles, an endodontist is like a vet for humans, except they specialize in dental procedures like root canals. 

WAFFLES:  You mean like trees and stuff?

KATIE:  *sigh*  Waffles, Glogirly is having oral surgery. In her MOUTH.

WAFFLES:  Wow, I hope the endo guy isn't going to plant a very big tree. That would be really heavy to carry around all the time.

KATIE:  Waffles, you're not helping the situation. 

WAFFLES:  I know! I've never planted a tree before.

KATIE:  Glogirly is having oral surgery today and though she'd never tell Waffles...she whispered to me that she was kind of scared. Ok, kind of a lot scared. She has something underneath a root canal from a few years ago that has to come out and the only way to get it out is surgery. She's not going under, but she's got a pretty potent cocktail of drugs so tomorrow's blog post may just be some photos of me looking beautiful and Waffles looking goofy. You know, just like most other days.

Don't worry, I'll be taking good care of Glogirly. And Gloman will be taking good care of us. XO

History Lesson

Hi everyone, Katie here.

Congratulations!  If you've made it this far, despite today's title of History Lesson, you are indeed brave.  Or crazy. Glogirly wasn't much for history in school.  Could have been the blue-bee-hive-headed history teacher. Could have been the class was right before lunch.

Cool illustrations by Pizza Party       Ok...I did add a few things to them!

Either way, she's not much of a history smarty and there's not going to be a test at the end of this post.

So we discovered that Glogirly made a mistake on our Real Housecats Audition Page.  That's the page where all the cool cats go to find out how to submit their photos and bios to us.  This dizzy girl of mine typed the WRONG email address!  Good grief, how hard can it be?

Our email address is G L O G I R L@ blah-de-blah-blah dot com.
She typed G L O G I R L Y@ blah-de-blah-blah dot com.
(ok, it's not really blah-de-blah, but you get my drift)

So it got me thinking... WHY on earth is our email address "glogirl" and not "glogirly" for crying out loud?

Here's where the history lesson comes in.  You were wondering weren't you?

So how did Glogirly get her name and Y, oh Y,  is our email address missing the all-important Y?

Well, the girl was just a girl until one day when she tap-tap-tapped on a strangers door.  When that door opened, she met Gloman.  It was a chance meeting, love at first sight and a day that changed the course of history for the girl and Gloman.

Gloman is Gloman because he's adorable and sweet and wonderful and cute.  (ok, I REALLY didn't say that.)  He's also Gloman because the first three letters of his last name are Glo.  Just before the girl and Gloman were to marry, the girl thought about what kind of wonderful gift she could give her new husband.  Many of her friends had asked her, "so are you going to keep your last name?"  The girl loved her name.  She'd had it for almost 40 ::gasp:: years.  Gloman's name was a mouthful.  NO ONE could say it OR spell it. That's when she knew. There was a very special gift that only SHE could give her Gloman.  The gift of taking and loving his name.

Cool illustrations by Glogirly's friend, Kristin.

So on their wedding day, the girl that married Gloman became Glogirl.  

And what about the Y???  When did Glogirl become Glogirly???

Well we've got Blogger to thank for that.  Poor Blogger so often gets a bad rap.  Everyone hates the word identification thing.  The WordPress people think their all that.  Blah. Blah.

Poor Blogger gets a bad rap.

When my girl and I decided to try our hands and paws at this blogging thing, we started with Blogger.  My girl was SO mad that someone ELSE had already snatched up her name, Glogirl.  And they weren't even using it!  What, oh what, was she going to do?  We thought long and hard over it.  I'd like to think it's my girlish kitty beauty that inspired her.  But it was actually her best friend from junior high school, who to this day calls her Girly.

So THAT'S how Glogirly was born.

This concludes our History Lesson for the day.

Class dismissed.

Pee S  - In case you're thinking I've gone soft on Gloman.  Well it's his birthday tomorrow and I'm cutting him a little shred of slack.
