Candy Corn is very sad tonight...

Candy finds it totally unfair that the black cats get all the attention for Halloween. Not that she's got anything against black cats--all that bad luck stuff is just nonsense to her-- it's just that since the colors for the holiday are ORANGE and black, she figures she should get just as much attention.

She's also very sad to announce that tomorrow is the last day for the EFA Birthday Bash & sale. She's found all the contests and raffles and new PurrPrints visitors terribly exciting, and so she asked me to help drum up one last stream of guests to party with her before everything ended.

How could I say no?

You can visit her and the other etsy PurrPrints kitties here.

(For those who don't already know about the bash, myself and over 150 other etsians are offering 20% off through Sept. 30th--plus there's lots of contests and raffles and such to participate in. To learn more about it you can read my original post on the Birthday Bash.)

At least she's happy about the new blog design--especially the orange banner. She gave me and Chica & Pumuckl's mom crazy purrs for that one of course.

She really loves her nose: The winner of the first cat photo contest

Though the deadline for the first newsletter-subscribers-only cat photo contest was Sept. 15th, it took my husband a little while to choose a winner. (I make him choose because I can't stand choosing between kitty pics--neither can he, of course, because he adores cats as much as I do, so really I'm just a big selfish meanie I guess. Ah well.)

This month was for the funniest cat photo, but I must admit that most of the ones we received were more "awwwwww" than "ahahaha" -- so after spending a lot of "awww" time with all the adorable kitties the hubby finally picked "Tasha Tortie Tongue" (as named by the adorable kitty's mom) as this month's winner. So congrats Katie--you've now won a $20 gift certificate to PurrPrints on etsy. (She's got even more adorable kitty pics on her flickr page for anyone who, like me, can't get enough of adorable kitties pictures).

Don't forget to leave lots of comment love for Katie's adorable kitty! And if you'd like to participate in next month's contest, which will be Halloween themed, just sign up for my newsletter using the form in the upper left corner of this page.

I'd also like to include a pic of the adorable Porkchop, who disappeared from his parents home a few months ago; as his mom Amanda said, he's "the coolest, bestest, 3-legged cat ever... and is sadly missed."

Change is a comin'

I'm very excited to announce that the PurrPrints blog will soon have a completely new look, thanks to the marvelous skills of Chica and Pumuckl and their mom (though we all know the cats always get the credit, right? at least mine always insist on taking any credit for "my" work for themselves).

Just couldn't help but share the news...I'm very excited...I hope everyone else ends up liking the new design as much as I do.

Anyway, back to putting together all those tags for the cute cat tag giveaway winners :)
