Your beans can WIN PetCams now!

Guess what, efurrybody? Colby is so famous for bein' the escapin' cat now (read the post below if you don't know the story), that the nice PetCam beans gave Mom FIVE PetCams to give away to our furriends!

Now, of course, you will have to be extra-smart kittehs to avoid detection if your beans win, but on the bright side, they will be so thankful when they DO win that they will probably just drown you in treats!

Oh, and woofies can win for their beans, too!

Just enter here on Mom's blog by leaving a comment with one of our names: "Cheddar" or "Fancy" to win a PetCam! (Mom figures Colby is famous enough now.) Remember, she has FIVE to give away, so dat's pretty good odds, Mom says. Please make sure you have a shipping address in the US if you enter, since they are nice enough to ship them for Mom.

Good luck!

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.
