Million Purrs is on again!

by savvycat on March 17, 2010

I was expecting to get an email when it started, but apparently the RSPCA’s Million Purrs has been open since February 15! Supported this year by comedian Wil Anderson, Million Purrs is the feline version of the Million Paws Walk, but to join in your cat doesn’t have to leave the house. Million Purrs is a virtual world where you can create a cat avatar, upload a photo of your feline friend and start raising money for the RSPCA.

In 2009 I signed up and raised around $75 for the RSPCA (I think!). I’ve signed up again this year will be raising money for them up until it closes in May (to coincide with the Million Paws Walk). The functionality hasn’t changed too much, but it still remains a very worthwhile cause.

Sign up now or head over and sponsor me (and Train!).

Already signed up? Put your link in the comments so we can share the love around :)

I just came across these products from MOZI, which are apart of their ‘the secret garden’ collection. The range includes ipod covers, tea towels, aprons and other homewares all featuring a sitting kitty.

You can buy the items online or through the stockists listed on their website.

‘Kitty’ handmade soft toy.

by savvycat on March 9, 2010

How adorable are these handmade kitty toys?

(Images in this post are copyright udessi.com.au)

Made by Edward & Lilly, this kitty and her friends are available for sale through the Udessi online store.

I also love the inspiration behind this range:

Bunnies, kitties and puppies were designed in response to the children who lost their toys in the 2009 Victorian Bushfires, a comforting toy that is suitable for all ages from toddlers through to older children. At the time 25 bunnies were donated to relief packs.

I really wish I had a reason to buy one. They are for sale through the Udessi online store for AU$24.00. I have purchased from Udessi many times before and can vouch that they are wonderful. I received nothing but fantastic service from them. It’s wonderful dealing with people that genuinely love what they are doing.

Sunday Cuteness.

by savvycat on March 7, 2010

Because really, something that requires thought and proof reading is a little bit difficult on a Sunday. I present you with…. a cat breastfeeding a squirrel. And a kitten cuddling a squirrel. Oh yes.

Source.

And now for a question – does your cat have a thing for celery like Elvis?
I’ve never heard of this before, but have now added ‘celery’ to the grocery list to test it on Train.

I hope your Sunday was lovey and lazy.

Do you have a secret cat?

4 March 2010

Did you know that 40% of cat owners are secretly feeding a cat they don’t own? I love that there are so many lovely cat people out there helping kitties that aren’t theirs.
While Mr. J and I don’t feed any cats that aren’t ours, we know the kitties that frequent the area and keep [...]

welcome back

3 March 2010

I’ve been thinking about it for a while now and tonight I’m officially re-opening savvycat. I’ve dusted off the shelves, unlocked all the posts and reinstalled the pretty theme.
The final push in this direction was a comment the other night by the lovely Laura saying that she missed seeing it in her google reader. [...]

Neighbourhood kitties.

3 November 2009

Since I’ve started working later in the mornings, Train has had more ’sun time’ up on our enclosed top step. I’ve also come to realise that our neighbours kitties regularly (i.e. all morning!) do laps of our place. And from where Train sits, this is where she gets to see them:

Red lines indicate general kitty [...]
