Os-Kat Award Winners for Cattitude

It's a traditional on our Facebook page, now Peaches and Paprika group that in conjunction with the OSCARS, we hold the yearly OS-KAT awards.  We've had many exciting winners in the past, and this year's final contenders are just, well FULL of that cattitude we treasure. 


But FIRST I want to post MY picture because of course I, Peaches should have won.  Wouldn't that have been the right thing to do?  But NO, my human said I had to make way for "other cats."

Having said my piece, here are the "real" winners this year!

FIRST PLACE

The entrancing "Miss Scribbles," a well known "star" "ran off" with the prize this year.  No one could resist her sly look while clinging to her magic yellow banana.


SECOND PLACE

Another "high contender" was newcomer, "Willow" a round, orange cat who WE thought was too sweet to display ANY cattitude...our readers however did not agree. It's possible the sweet look could be deceiving.

THIRD PLACE
Our third place winner, the entertaining "Leo" is looking smug, as he's just "stolen" prime real estate from his housemate Tony, who just moments before was occupying this luxurious cat tree.
Leo is known for his outrageous and creative activities.

One other feline who was a close contender was the gorgeous "Purdee," an adventurous fellow calico we know well. She has pefected the "Cattitude Stare: and dares anyone to knock her off her perch on a dining room chair.  (Go, Purdee!)

Paprika's thoughts: Now, I, Paprika, entered the awards because I thought I deserved one, but sadly, there was no "acrobatic award this year.  Unfair to agile, nimble cats like me, don't you agree?

FROM THE OS-KAT ARCHIVES...
Previous years winners always inspire a nostalgia trip...here are a couple...

Well, not everyone can win these things, but -- AGAIN! -- here is what I, Peaches, think should have been the outcome!

Of course as my human frequently points out, I cannot always get what I want...I disagree. What do YOU think?


Hope all enjoyed the Oscars this year...a bright light in the middle of a complicated time....

Girl Scout Day is here



Today in 1912 Girl Scouts were founded! Thus, today is National Girl Scout Day! Some important girl scout mottos are "be prepared" and "do a good turn daily."  It is NOT, as Paprika seems to think, about selling COOKIES!  There are a  lot of things Paprika mis-understands and I am always trying to help her stay in line!

Happy "Love Your Pet" Day - Here's How We Celebrated

Lo 


Peaches here & Happy LOVE YOUR PET Day!  And there's no one to better guide you how to celebrate than yours, truly, Peaches and Paprika!

You will notice in our first"Pet Love" example, my human, Mom Carol is thoughtfully providing a resting place for my ear AND attractuve  paws! See how carefully she provides a base for showing off my snow white pads.   -  Peaches the cat.


PAPRIKA'S LOVE EXPERIENCES

Paprika the Cat here.  My human has thoughtfully provided a resting place for me to endulge in my favorite activity-napping!  Her chin makes the purr-fect pillow for this imortant activity!  I'll try & find another picture where you can see Mom carol's face to property identify her. - Paprika the Cat


MORE PAPRIKA VIGNETTES




Here's another shot...surprise, surprise, I'm napping again. But you can clearly identify my human, Mom Carol.   Here she's provied me proper "paw support" for my arms, and again, thoughtfully supplying a pillow (her cheek). A great gesture for "Love Your Cat" Day!


HANDHOLDING BY PEACHES

Love can be expressed in many ways on this day. 


"Handholding," er, "paw-holding is innovative and affectionate.  As you can see by my human helps compensate for my small appendages (paws) by extending her finger (rather than a hold hand)  for me to hold onto.  Naturally I do not use my claws except to gentle grasp the finger!  Good job? And I get to show off my white paws again.

  LAUGHTER ON "LOVE YOUR PET" DAY

Peaches here again.  It is important not only to do the lovey dovey stuff but to hang out with your human and have a good time.  Here you see Mom Carol and I cracking up over...something.  Maybe I'm the one amusing her.  That' happens alot without my even trying.  I'm a natural "purr-former!"

SOMETIMES ONE GETS "CARRIED AWAY!"

Here we are, me and Mom Carol "cracking up" over...something!  Am I relaxed or what?   I'd love to know what we found so funny.




We are joining Athena an Marie's Creative Caturday hop tomorrow to strut our stuff.  Creativity counts there!  And we are nothing if not creative!
