Astro Kitty: Scorpio & Imperial Cat Giveaway
Disclaimer:The Cat Wisdom 101 Astro-Kitty series by Layla Morgan Wilde is for entertainment purposes only. Update: The giveaway is closed.
The wheel of the zodiac spins into Scorpio on October 24th.
Of the twelve astrological signs, there is no mistaking a Scorpio cat. They are all about intensity, beginning with eyes that bore down to your soul. Don’t even think of trying to out stare them. There will be blood. Yours. Scorpio colors are midnight black and deep murky reds. Their element is water and they enjoy fountains and dripping taps. The old adage: Still waters run deep, fits them purrfectly.
These passionate felines ooze sensuality even after being neutered and spayed (which we recommend doing early). You’ll find them luxuriating every muscle in sun puddles and like having their slinky bodies stroked, but they call the shots. They like to be charge of everyone and everything in their household. Possessive and jealous, they tend to be loyal, one-person cats. If you are that lucky person, you will happily do their bidding, having fallen under their magic spell. The mysterious Scorpio cat sits Sphinx-like and silent exuding a mystical aura. You can safely share your deepest secrets with these inscrutable creatures but don’t expect them to share theirs.
They will let you know when they want petting, playing or their dinner with the look, their paw tapping or tail wrapped around your ankle or wrist. Clever and cunning, they love playing “ambush” and other prey games but never use your fingers or toes or you’ll be the loser in that game. Long wand or fishing pole-type toys work best.
Scorpio kitties need a place of their own to nap in, ideally with nooks or crannies for privacy. Be sure to provide several places to sharpen their magnificent claws or they will shred the sofa and your favorite sweaters to smithereens.
We love this Scratch N Snooze from Imperial Cat and have partnered with the awesome folks at Cat Tipper and Imperial Cat .The three nesting shapes offer flexible options for scratching plus a place to hide. If red isn’t your color, there are other color/patterns for kitties to suit any sign of the zodiac.

My Pop’s a Scorpio. His birthday is on Halloween! Does that give me points? If I won the nesting scratcher things I donate them to my shelter, but I’d keep the Lickety Sticks.

We don’t know any Scorpio cats! We don’t even know many Scorpio people. We do like the scratchers, but do they make one that fits five black cats?

I don’t really know if we have any Scorpios here. I just don’t know when anyone was born for sure.
We would love to have one of those scratchers. They look terrific.

Moosey and Sammy are apparently not Scorpio cats. 🙂 But they *would* love those cool scratchers. MOL!

BTW, I wrote about your fabulous giveaway on the LAPCATS Facebook site.

A Scorpio Cat would be a good cat to have. I mean, they’d be so busy being intense, they wouldn’t bother me with what I’m doing. Too bad we have me as a Pisces, Ichiro a Taurus and Gemini is probably an Aries (for all she’s a fraidy cat).
Deb n Cats
This has far more potential than the flat boxe”S”. I know a couple of cat”S” would would pounce on new scratching posts.
catherine turley
the peacock design is really unusual. i love it.
Katnip Lounge
I can just see Felix (our Scorpio boy in temperament) on one of those!
Brian
Those are very, very impressive!

Mr.Cody would LOVE this!! “S” and…I can no longer tweet from your twitter button and I have no idea why…but…I don’t tweet when I enter contests because I am selfish and it ruins my chances of winning HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!
Paulette Smith
My four rescue cats would love to win the “S”CRATCH and “S”NOOZE give away, especially with the peacock feather motif. thank “S” for the chance to enter.

My girl may be a Virgo by birth, but she was rescued on November 21 and certainly acts like a Scorpio. If I don’t feed her right away, she won’t leave me alone. Same with play time. She will only be petted when she wants; any attempts otherwise end up with teeth gently laid on my hand as a warning.
I wonder if it’s the actual birth month or the rescue/adoption month that has the most influence on how a cat will act in your household…
Misty would LOVE one of those scratchers! So would I. She needs a distraction from thinking the new couch is her new scratching post.
TheNewGrayMare
oops! Forgot my “S”
Judi Daly
Another toy Thunder would love! “S” Thank you for the opportunity.
maggie
All the people in our house are Scorpios. After reading about them, I think I’m glad our three cats are not!
They are all “Imperial Cats” and would love the scratcher.
Thank you!
Katie and Coccolino the mini pig
Thanks for the chance to win, what a great one! My cats AND my pig would love it. “S”

We sure could use the “S”cratch and “S”nooze around Kitty Tales!

This would be so neat at My Mathew’s House Cat Shelter.
