the final cat of blogathon 2007 is james, submitted by sarah. pretty kitties make the world go round. though i did try to make the kitty look the way i feel, so he’s really not that pretty right now.

final pledge total for paws for a cause: $292! WOW! never in a million years, guys. as i said before i am completely floored and utterly stunned. HUGE THANKS to EVERYONE again! now get out of here and get to bed. go on, get, and i’ll see you next year!

well, one more kitty post after this one. it’s been a blast. my biggest thanks would definitely have to go out to david for keeping me entertained during this whole ordeal. i barely had enough time to check anyone else’s blogs but always kept in tune with david’s. thanks for the laughs, the texts, etc!

second biggest thanks would have to be to my sponsors, though you guys should also share the number one spot with david. without you i would not have had the motivation to do this, so thanks so much for being so generous! your money is going to a great cause and i appreciate every little bit i was sponsored for.

and a big, big, big thanks to anyone who messaged me on aim, left a comment, or emailed me. stuff like that keeps me busy which is always helpful late into the night. you guys rule.

aussie and baby! aussie is another kitty sent to me by ramsey. he is another family cat that came to live with them when ramsey’s little brother’s friend’s family couldn’t keep him anymore. he’s about six or seven years old. looks like grey kitties are a big thing. i personally love cats with a solid colored coat and all-white bellies. white bellies are precious!

another cat owned by katie’s friend brian. his name is samson and he’s a scraggly one.

another cat sent to me by ben on behalf of his sister. i asked earlier (in cup’s post) if anyone could guess the name of this cat. like cup, he also has a three-letter name and is named after a physical, non-animate object. give up? it’s net (just pretend you didn’t see the title of this post). cup and net. very unique! i think i like net a bit more than cup because cup is hard to say really cute-ly for a kitty. but net is like, net! net, net, net! it’s easier to say. cup is weird. cup cup would be fun, though. i like net net, too. okay.

we have a lot of spices. thing is, they’re all in different sized bottles. i gotta figure out a way to store them vertically in a really small vertical space–maybe a foot or less. some sort of custom tiered shelving or racks we can build? i don’t know.

i wonder how long i’ll sleep in tomorrow. in the past i’ve rarely ever slept in too long. i usually get up groggy in the afternoon and then fall asleep again on a regular schedule that night. hopefully that will happen since i have work on monday.

nigel is such a cool name for a cat. this photo was submitted by my online friend drew on behalf of his friend jossette. take note of jossette’s bed sheets. harry freakin’ potter over there in tampa knows what i’m talkin’ about.
