Odin’s BIG Dirty Caturday
We’ve been super busy lately and happily to share the highlights at this week’s Caturday. Odin is our star dirt magnet for the BIG Dirty Caturday of good clean fun! (seen above rolling in the dirt).
Chances are you won’t click on more than one link so have fun choosing!

I’m always scouring the Internet for fun feline finds and found this gorgeous antique Victorian pet bed of hand-carved mahogany. It recently sold at auction for close to a $1000.00 (probably to a dog owner) but wouldn’t it make an awesome kitty lounger? I could imagine all four of our boys fitting in!
Miss Astro-Kitty this month? We just went bigger and better. I’m happy to announce that I’m a new contributor at Catster. Not only will I be writing on a variety of topics but have a new cat astrology column. I’ll resume a condensed version of Astro-Kitty here next month. Click here to read all about the Virgo cat.
Our friends from Blogpaws who are based in Colorado are asking for help. The major flooding has impacted and displaced many animals. Visit this link to see pics and find out how you can help.
The Cat Writers’ Association announced their Certificate of Excellence winners and I’m thrilled to announce I won two! One is for color photography (series) and one is for Black & White Photograph (Single). Both feature Odin so I guess I need to share the award with him. All finalists are eligible for the Muse Medallion, the CWA top prize. Since I was the only finalist in the Black & White single category, I automatically win the Muse. Way to go Odin! And that boy gets around without my knowledge. He was featured on Buzzfeed yesterday again.
I have other big news but have to keep it under wraps until October. Closer to home, the elusive Gris Gris who always maintains an arm’s length distance with everyone, slept near me and let me pet him in bed. After three years, this is a first! The greatest gift we can give our cats is respect and unconditional love. Merlin has his buddies to nap with yin yang style. The shearling heating pad is on low again giving comfort to achy old bones. Merlin and I are making hay while the sun shines with outdoor picnic while we can.

The cats here asked us to tell Odin that they wish they could roll around in the dirt, too. 🙂

Congratulations Muse winner! So nice you don’t have to wait for the results, huh?
I’d just love to see my cats in that bed – $1000, I don’t think so.

Whoa! You’re rght; I don’t know which one to click on. I may choose 2 even though TW is yelling she never has time to read anything but blogs.

Odin, we would give anything to be able to roll around in the dirt like you.
Katnip Lounge
The Baby wants to roll around now, too! One of her names is “Filthy Dirty” for good reason.
We enjoyed your roundup!

What a great super newsy post today Layla! Congratulations to you (and Odin) for the awards – your photography is always stunning and it’s grand to be recognized isn’t it? Also your association with Catster – fabulous! IT’s good to see Merlin curled up nice and cozy and comfy on his heating pad – bless him – he’s got his brothers to keep him warm too. Have a great weekend – am anxious to hear your big October news too – AAAAhhhhhctober isn’t far away either!
Hugs, Pam and Sam
