Wow! Fancy is on a roll

You know what? Mr. Skeezix just told Fancy dat she won ANOTHER contest, the furry cool Petsmart and Catster costume contest over at Skeezy's awesome Catster blog, The Cat's Meow!

She won dis cool Angel Wings costume!

Dat Fancy sure is a lucky black cat. Maybe we should have her pick lottery numbers for Mom so she can win more green papers! heehee.

We are going to have Fancy put on her new collar AND her wings so she can model them for pikshurs!

Please check out the Cat's Meow, 'cause Mr. Skeezix is also a furry funny and smart kitty and he has lots of good stuff posted there!

Right now, I'm going to go be nice to Fancy to see if she can win me sumfin'. ;)

Who Are Dese Orangey Kittehs, Anyway?

Once, we were just two scared little kittens, clinging to our mother. We must have been very poor, because we weren't very clean or healthy and we had (this is so embarrassing) worms and stuff. We lived day-to-day, and we both remember being very hungry, all the time.

It seemed like we were barely old enough to walk when we were taken away from our mother and brought to a strange place, with lots of other cats (and big scary dogs!). We didn't know why, or what we had done. This place became known to us only as the Shelter.

So, there we were: at the Shelter, in a cage, cuddled together, keeping our spirits up and waiting for a chance to escape, not knowing what else to do, when a surprising new face came to see us.

She smiled at us, and looked us over without poking her fingers in our faces. She made sure our itchy ears were cleaned and those embarrassing worms were taken care of. And she didn't put us back into the cage.

Instead, she took us to a new, totally different place. A place where we have lots of food to eat and fresh water to drink. A place where there's always clean litter. Where there are toys to chase and soft places to sleep.

And we learned a new word.

That word is, "Home."

We are Colby and Cheddar. And this is our story.
