Mom is still trying to "get her poop in a scoop" since her return from the conference. She said everything went super good, but she hated having to sleep in such a big bed with no kitties to share it with (or the daddy I think she said). Anyway, she saw this post this morning and thought she would share it with you all.

Willow's Story... part 1
Hi everyone! In case we haven't met yet, I'm Willow, the newest member of the family called the Cherry City Kitties. To those I have met, you sure are a great bunch of kitties (and woofies), and Mom says I can help her on the computer some so that I can see your blogs and get to know all of you too (meowza, that's going to be a big job, I never knew there were so many kitties out there).
So some of you asked to know more about me too, so here's my little story. I say little, because, the fact is, I don't really remember much of it. You see I had to live outside on my own for a while. I don't remember for sure, but I think there were some people in my life when I was younger, but then, there weren't and I was on my own. Mom says maybe I don't remember is because being out there on your own is a really, really hard and sad thing and maybe the past is best left in the past. Anyway, I do like people, so one day when this man in a uniform picked me and said he was going to take me to a place and try to find out if I had a family that was missing me, I let him. He was really nice and tried hard, but no one came to find me, so he got in touch with a pawesome group called AC Paw and told them what a good kitty I was and could they maybe help me find a forever home. And they said they would!!!!
I lived at a nice house for a little bit, while I went to the v-e-t and got some pokes (ouch!) and one time I went to sleep there and woke up with no fur on my belly and a bit of a scar, but don't worry, I feel great now. When I was all healed up, they took me to this big giant place, some place where Smart Pets go to do something they call "adoption". Lots of people came to say hi to me and for about 10 days I met lots of volunteers who came to take care of us and play with us and they told us not to worry that we would find our own family soon. I sure hoped they were right. This wasn't as nice as my recovery house was, but it was sure better than being on my own.
Then, late on a Sunday, this man and lady walked into our room. She didn't see me at first cause I was in a bottom cage, but HE saw me right away. He knelt down by me and started talking to me and scritched my chin, and I headbonked him back. He had a friendly smile and kind eyes and I trusted him right away. Then he told the lady to come see me. WOW! She liked me too and she was just as nice as the man was. They asked if they could have me come outside my cage and the three of us sat together and I purred my best purrs and they laughed and we played with my mousie a little and I sat on their laps. Then it was time for them to go I guess so I went back in my cage. I heard the man say "well, let's talk about this" on the way out the door, but since I didn't get to go with them, I was a little sad.
But the next day, there they were again! I was really happy to see them. There was no one that could let me out when they came, but they sat with me and we had a great time. The lady told me that she would be back again tomorrow to talk to the AC Paw people and would see me then. That was good, cause I was really starting to like these people.
When she came back the next day, the volunteer ladies were making a big fuss and kept telling me I was going home. But I didn't know where that was. My home had been outside for a while and I didn't want to go back there, so I was a little nervous...
Wow, I have been talking a lot! I better give you all a break. Mom is going away to talk at a conference until Monday, so I'll fill you in on the rest of the story then. See you soon!
Purrs,
Willow

eh, hem...We have an announcement!
After much research, using our finely honed senses, we have solved the mystery of the closed laundry room door.
We saw the PTU come in to the laundry room and we thought "OH NO" one of us was taking the long ride (ok, it's short really) to the v-e-t, but it didn't come out. Then Harry (remember Dad's nickname for him is "parts per billion" because of his sensitive nose) told us he smelled something...or someone behind the door. Couple that with the odd litter and the fact that Mom and Dad went in and out of there and talked this weird cute talk to the laundry. And we even thought we heard the laundry talk back!
After several days, Dad came out carrying the cardboard and took it outside. We ran to the door... we had to know!!!!
This is what we saw through the slats in the door when Dad finally took the cardboard away...
Ladycats and Mancats, without further a-doo, we'd like to introduce our new sister...

Zipping off for the weekend
Mom and Dad are working the big UN-Cats garage sale this weekend, so we're off through the teleport tunnel to hang out with our honorary brofur Moosey!
Mom's not got a photoshoppy program, so you can't see us teleporting, but rest assured we're in for a weekend of fun, fun, fun. Especially since we know that there's new nip toys on the horizon. We're bringing leftovers from Harry's birthday and we'll have a bit of a mancat party of our own. Heck, if Kevin and Tracey let us stay up, we'll catch the latest episode of "My Cat from Hell".
Anyway, we'll see you all next week!

Festive Summertime !
We're so excited ! We got our official Quint Cole Festive Summertime picture yesterday! Mom whisked it off to work because she said she needed it after the cold, dreary, slushy spring we've had.
And to our dear artistic friend Quint, we think this card is meant for you...
It went to the top of her board at work, so everyone can see.

Concatulations to the Scottish SPCA !
Yep, that's right the SCOTTISH Society for the Prevntion of Cruelty to Animals is the group to receive the mom's *coppers* from our contest! That's right everyone, thanks to all your comments, Mom has to get rolling and send off that donation.
The Scottish SPCA was nominated by our randomly drawn commenters, Red, Magic and their typist RedSetter of Pepsi Max Addict
Speaking for Red and Magic, RedSetter writes: "I am totally surprised at being the winner and would love the *coppers*
to go to the Scottish Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals
(Scottish SPCA) http://www.scottishspca.org/rehoming/category/cats/centre/3_glasgow.
Magic came from the Cardonald Branch in Glasgow one snowy January day ten years ago and brought joy back to our hearts after Cat died aged 16 and a half. The very last cat we wanted was another Tortie girl as the pain was just too raw. However, our hearts were captured by sweet baby Magic who was a picture of misery with her little ears shaking with fear in this big scary shelter even though the staff were taking great care of her and all the others. They dont put healthy animals to sleep which is very important to me. I think it would be lovely to add them to the Shelter Blessing Roll.
Before Red came into our lives I'd always
wanted another cat but the time just wasn't right so I started up a
regular donation as my way of having another 'virtual cat'. Although Red
came to us nearly four years ago I've kept up my regular and one off
donations to them in recognition of the great work they do."
What a great thought, a regular donation to a virtual cat. A great option when the house won't fit one more!
But the biggest and bestus news came a little further on...
I think kindness should always be shared and love the whole Random Acts of Kindness ethos so in return, on behalf of Red and Magic, we'd like to do a reciprocal donation to a charity of your choice. If you'd just let me know who you'd like it to go to I'll arrange this.
Wha???? WOW! How pawesome is that ????? It's like pennies from heaven! AWin-Win if we ever heard one. UN-Cats will be thrilled!
So on behalf of Red, Magic, Harry, Dexter and Tipp mucho purrs and headbonks to each and everyone. Your comments made this all possible. Please stop by their blog and thank them as well, we couldn't have had a more Thankful Thursday without them!
