    Kittenwar Book

    The Kittenmaster writes: Apologies for the interruption to the normal service, everyone, but I thought I’d take the opportunity to tell you all about my book. It’s based on one of my other websites, kittenwar.com, and it’s now available to pre-order from Amazon. It’ll be in your local bookshop in a few week’s time.

    This is what Amazon say about it:

    “Kittenwar.com, the massively popular Web site that pits two photographs of adorable kittens side by side and asks the viewer to vote for a winner, has entered a new battlefield: the book. This action-packed adventure has something for every kittenwarmonger, whether a grizzled veteran or a fresh-faced recruit: more than 100 claws-to-the-walls kittenwars; expert battle analysis by the creators of kittenwar.com; a super-accurate Kittenological Personality Tester, the most comprehensive survey into cat naming ever undertaken; a guide to getting maximum cuteness from your kitten; a history of kittens in wartime and other times of great danger; and more. Filled with ridiculously cute kittens and cleverly funny text, no one can resist this call to paws. May the cutest kitten win!”

    I’m really proud of it, and I hope you don’t mind me talking about it for one day. It has got loads of really cute pictures in it - including the two you can see on the cover, Shady Cat and King Arthur.

    Obviously it would make me very happy if lots of you went out and bought a copy - and then more copies to give to people as Christmas presents. And then more just in case you lose the first ones you purchased.

    Buy from Amazon.com
    Buy from Amazon.co.uk

    Normal service will resume tomorrow with a very nice kitten called Lexi from Raynham, Massachusetts.

    Thanks,

    The Kittenmaster

    He gets his own bowl of wet food, a new toy or 2 and he gets to spend the whole evening with mama while his brothers stay in the other room. (All my babies get an evening with mama when it’s their birthday).

    I only know Huddy’s. Sebastian’s I estimate and nobody knows for sure HOW old Maverick is. He’s an older tabby gent, though. I’d say between 10 - 15.

    I forgot to tell Hudson Happy Birthday so I must remedy that. Happy Birthday, Hudson. :) and many more. I do know my kid’s years but Tessie was a feral rescue; I just know it was at the end of August so I share my birthday with her and Molly I know was around Easter and when I took her for her first vet visit they put Apr. 30 down and I thought it would work.

    A huge happy birthday shout out to Huddy from Sylvester and myself. Let’s see I believe that is 33 in cat years as I was told that first year is 15, second year is 24 and third is 33 in cat years.

    Awwwwww…..my Huddy!! I cannot believe he was ever that small.

    He enjoyed his food and is now in the cubby in my home desk looking at me. If he pulls a Bob later and walks on the keyboard, you’ll all know why.

    I wanna thank everybody for being so sweet to my baby!

    I love them…they have been such an inspiration to me as a musician, a person, and a female.

    Those girls CAN rock, and I wish they were coming here. I’ve seen them many times and the last I saw them was on a VH1 special with Alice In Chains. They’ve STILL got it.

    Even now when my brother hears them, he always says he thinks of me.

    I know you had an awesome time….If you see any green in my next posts it will be my envy shining through.

    I could use eggs, crispy bacon, whole wheat toast, fresh orange juice, and a huge mocha (make it a 20 oz) please. I am soooo tired from Sunday night’s ordeal with Sylvester. He was very affectionate with my husband last night which was very cute to see. I kind of got jealous though since he is really “my cat”. Oh I need to win the lotto. Hey speaking of lotto’s, the company where I am temping puts a block on the Calif Lotto page as it is considered gambling and they don’t allow you to view the page. First time I have encounter blocking at a company.

    Still waiting to hear from Genentech. I am now also waiting to hear from a possible temp to hire position that is in the HR Dept at another company. The position is to replace a woman if she decides not to come back from maternity leave (it is the woman’s first child). I really hope she doesn’t want to come back. I know that sounds terrible but hey the child would benefit a lot too. :-)

    Husband would like to go with you!! He just called from the Emergency Room of the hospital. He can not walk–hurt his back at work and can barely move. He was pumped full of narcotics and they will not release until a qualified driver picks him up. He is a bit spacey now wanting to golf. Can’t move but he has his priorities right?
