Birthday Pawty and Giveaway!

Good Friday Morning to you!  I'm so excited to be here today because it's my birthday!!!!!  I know it doesn't seem pawsible, but today, I hit the big:

0-1!


My mom has taken a lot of pictures of me since I came to live here at the Three Cats Ranch, and I've grown into a big boy cat.  Here's the first picture she ever took of me on my Gotcha Day, July 26, 2012.


I was pretty squirmy and wormy that day, and who wouldn't be?  I'd been locked in a kennel my whole life up to then.  When she took me to my furever home, I met my big sister, Grrrrrracie.  At least, that's what she said her name is.


And Grrrrrrracie was so happy to meet me!  Just look at that welcome she gave me.  You can see in her eyes how happy she was to have me move in.


I was purretty little back then.


But I've grown up into a purretty big boy.


And right now, I have some serious kitty business to take care of because I'm holding a giveaway to celebrate my big day.  Of course, a pawty isn't a pawty without cake. 


My mom knows just what I like.

And of course, there are purresents...fur you!  This is going to be so much fun because I've been purrusing my favorite website, Feline Drive, looking for just the right fabrics to give away to three lucky winners!  


In addition to being the best quilt shop on the web for all things cat, Feline Drive is a cat rescue organization.  100% of the profits from their store are used to support the cats at Feline Drive, and as a cat, I'd say it's purretty hard to beat that.  

Each winner will win a one yard cut of one of these fabrics.  

First, a one-yard cut of Feline Fancy:


Second, my purrsonal favorite, Paws and Mouse Tracks


and Third, Garden Cat Nap.  Throw in some cat nip, and you have the perfect place for cat napping.


We'll be putting whiskers into a hat for every comment on this post.  All you have to do is leave a comment telling me which one of these fabrics you'd pick if your whisker is drawn.  And we love our followers here at Cat Patches, so followers can leave a second comment letting us know how you follow our tail.

This giveaway will be open through Monday, April 15th, and we'll announce the winner on Tuesday, April 16th.  As always, international cats and cat lovers are welcome to purrticipate because we'll ship anywhere on the planet.  Just make sure you leave us a way to contact you.

So let's pawty!

Happy Birthday Smitty. Thank you for inviting me to your pawty. If my whisker were to be drawn, I would just love the "Paws & Mice" as a pwesent. I suspect that like you, my little puddy tat Tibby (also sometimes called Tibbles) will just love it.
Tibby's Mum (Dasha)
PS If you would like to come visit, I suspect that Tibbles might love to have a game with you.

Happy birthday, Smitty! I know you'll get lots of treats. Perhaps you could share with Gracie.

Paws and Mouse Tracks is the Cat's Meow.

Have yourself a Purrrrrfect Day!

Kathy Felsted Usher said...

Happy Birthday Smitty! We've been without power due to the storms that came through STL so I'm glad we're back up in time to celebrate with you! I love Feline Fancy, I have some pretty pinks that I want to make something with and this is purrfect!

Michele said...

Hi Mr Smitty and a very Happy 1st Birthday to you. I love this post. It is the cat's meow. I hope that you have a terrific day hunting mousies and getting as much catnip as you want.

If my whisker is picked to win, the Paws and Mouse Tracks would be my pick. I'd makes something fun for my big sister, who for many years didn't like cats (allergies and a bit teched in the brain we thought) but she has 2 fur babies now and spoils them both rotten. She's finally a convert and we continue to tease her about all the years that she was missing out on the feline fun.

Happy birthday Smitty, you really landed on your paws when you went to you forever home. Your mom knows just how a cat should be treated. If our comment is picked mom and I would love the garden cat nap. It looks a bit like you and Gracie. Big hugs from Picasso your man in London.

O I love Feline Fancy. It goes good with the pillow I made for my cat Saphire. He is finicky and just because he is a boy I think pink is his color

Janarama said...

Happy Birthday Smitty! You're so purrty.

Anne said...

I would choose Feline Fancy. I love the print motifs with the cat outlines and the soft colors. My son and his girlfriend adopted a 10-week-old kitten about three weeks ago. The kitten's name is Hazel, and she is a beauty. My son said he's trying to break Hazel from climbing up on people.

A couple of weeks ago, I happened to notice that my neighbor had set out a quite nice play tower near the curb at the edge of his yard. I asked him if it was for sale, and he told me I could have it. It's a bit over five-feet tall and heavy, but I managed to load it in my vehicle and bring it home. As soon as I can, I will deliver it to my son's apartment, so Hazel can exercise her love of climbing on her carpet-covered tower.

By the way, there's a sewing machine story that goes along with the cat tower. Because a section of carpeting had been completely scratched or chewed away from the tower, I told my husband that I planned to use a remnant of carpet we had to repair it. This task appealed to him, so he climbed (lots of climbing going on here) into a storage loft we have over our RV garage to get the remnant.

While he was in the loft, he spotted a vintage sewing machine I'd picked up years ago and completely forgotten about. I was so excited when he instructed me to climb to the top of the ladder leading into the loft to check it out. I was elated to see a Singer 185K -- the adorable green machine that's a modern-looking version of the 3/4-sized model 99. After hubby lugged the heavy machine down for me, I cleaned it, oiled it, and adjusted it. After I bought a new belt, I was pleased to find that the machine sews a lovely straight stitch. Cat-related projects have brought me luck lately! Keeping my fingers crossed.

It is amazing to realize how much Smitty has grown since you brought him home. His ears were so adorable and still are even though he has grown into them a little. I would love to have any of the one yard cuts of fabric but the Paws and Mouse Tracks is just too cute. I did not know that Feline Drive supported a cat rescue organization. Next time I order fabric I will keep them in mind.

Happy Birthday, Smitty! It's been fun watching you grow up! Right now I am making 3 quilts for 3 little brothers who have just gone into foster care, and so I would choose fabric #2 becasue one meter is perfect to back a quilt for a 3-year old boy, and what little boy wouldn't love those mice, eh? Just like you!

All the fabrics are so purrrrty...but of course, you can guess, I would just LOVE "Paws and MOUSE Tracks"!

Feline Fancy is my choice - sew cute and love the colors. Thanks for sharing your first birthday and give your human a purr and a hug and a lick.

Happy birthday, Smitty. You share it with the most wonderful DD in the whole world! And since purple is my favourite colour, I'd choose Feline Fancy.

Oh Happy Birthday beautiful boy. It was such an exciting post when you came to Cat Patches and I can't believe how much you have grown.
I love Paws and Mouse Trails but the first fabric is gorgeous too.
Hope your birthday was brilliant.

Happy Birthday Smitty. My, how you've grown.

I would choose Paws and Mousetracks if I was lucky enough to be chosen.
