Clyde’s 17th Birthday Winners For Black Cats Tell All Calendars

Drrrrrumroll darlings, it’s time to announce our five winners for the Black Cats Tell All Calendar Giveaway. You may wonder why I’m working on my birthday. Me, Clyde an old black cat and I’m not even included in the calendar. Sheesh, talk about having to sing for my supper. And all my cohorts, even Merlin are MIA. I don’t feel too bad working since my birthday isn’t actually until tomorrow the 18th. Layla made a cute video for Instagram where we’ve been celebrating since Caturday with my black kitty pals.

They say you can’t teach an old dog new tricks but what about cats?

I’m 84 in human years and have not expressed much interest catnip until it was sprinkled on cardboard. Well butter me all over and call be a bun. Who knew cardboard could be so tantalizing? But not nearly as fun as our Black Cats Tell All calendar. There might be a couple copies left but it’s essentially sold out.

The winners selected by random on Rafflecopter are:

Debbie Smiloff DeLouise
Bethany Meissner
Ellen Beck
Cynthia Southern
Marti Gordon

Congratulations. Email notifications have gone out and as soon as we receive shipping addresses, Layla will purrsonally ship them out.

I’m not one for celebrating birthdays. I’m catered to 24/7 and proud to say I’ve found my quite loud and bossy voice. I don’t want anything except getting my blood sugar levels balanced so I don’t have to get daily insulin shots. And some catnip. I prefer human company to feline but we all get along and I even got a couple birthday cards!

If I can rustle up some more rounds of luck, I’ll celebrate my 18th birthday next January 18. For now, I count my lucky stars every day.

Love,

Clyde

I saw the newsletter, and thought ‘oh no’ I left myself a note, it cant be your Birthday yet!
Life sounds good for you Clyde, and for that I am so happy. I am also glad you found the joys of catnip. Who knew right?
I am so happy to have won a calendar, I have to look for that wonderful email.

Its a skating rink here today…. thee outside kitties are waling round on tiptoes wit I think claws out. Punchy believe it or not had made a rebound before winter set in and his enclosure is right beside the food and water. He runs out, eats, drinks, goes too the bathroom and goes back in with the straw and heater!

Hello sweetheart, we wish you a healthy and Happy Birthday! Kaspars turned 15 last month and he too counts his lucky stars every day living with CKD and hyperthyroidism. I’m sorry we haven’t been commenting much lately- as you know it has been a sad and shocking month losing our beloved Clove to FIP, but we have been following and thinking of all of you. Much love to your Mom and Odin, Domino and HRH Nou Nou.

  Thanks so much for commenting and no apologies needed. We know how heartbreaking Clove’s sudden death must be. Happy belated birthday to Kaspars, a fellow CKD kitty. One day at a time is all we can do xoxoxox
