Sorry, this giveaway is now over.
Good morning! Smitty here to welcome you to my Purrthday Pawty Giveaway. Thank you so much for coming!
Today I am three years old.
Maybe you remember when I came to live with Gracie and her human furriends. My mom was just driving by a store one day when she said to herself, "I think I'll just stop in here and see if they have any kitties for adoption. Of course, I won't take any home with me." Well, those are my mom's famous last words.
I tried to tell her it was a bad idea. She let me out of my kitty cage, and I kicked and scratched and said, "Noooooooo! Escape while you still can!"
Would she listen? Of course not. My mom is kind of a meowsochist that way. And so she put me in a box and we rode home together. I'm telling you, things at the Three Cats Ranch have never been the same.
Things got bad for Gracie right away. She didn't like me at furst.
Eventually, she started to like me better. Now she'll even let me sit beside her sometimes when I'm being extra extra nice.
We even have outdoors adventures together.
And look at how much I've grown in the past three years!
So I'm here today to write my autobipawgraphy. Since I've been living at the Three Cats Ranch, a lot has been going on.
For one thing, I created the S.W.A.M.P. team. (I got that idea from watching old reruns of the Man from UNCLE.) It stands for Strategic Whiskers And Mouse Patrol. We have our work cut out for us around here, let me tell you. You just never know where those little mousies are going to escape to.
Just click on that link there, and I'll tell you all about our adventures.
We have a lot of catnip around the Three Cats Ranch.
Now that it's legal in Oregon, I like to get high as much as pawsible. You can see a lot from up here.
Also, I've become something of a cult classic. They actually created a new cat Monopawly token.
And not to toot my own horn, but I'm purretty sure it was modeled after me. I figure they saw my picture on the internets somewhere.
It's a purretty good likeness of me, don't you think?
Gracie is my best furriend, but I've made some other furriends since I've been here.
Yeah. That's Uno. He started coming around more than I like though, so now when I see him, I chase him off. Sheesh. Not enough mousies for the both of us.
There are lots of other little furry critters around here too. Sometimes I have them for lunch.
This is a purretty great place to live, and I've done some remodeling and redecorating.
Click right here to see some of my best hidey holes.
Also, I've done quite a bit of traveling. I've been all over the USA and Canada.
And I've had some purretty amazing adventures.
Day-to-day, I help my mom write her blog posts,
inspect her quilts,
and I help her with her sewing
By far, though, my most impurrtant job is making sure every quilt has ample depawsits of my furry self. As everyone knows, a quilt isn't finished until it has been embellished with fuzz.
So I've been working real hard making this little door purrize for some lucky somebody who comes to my Purrthday Pawty. I just know you're gonna want this mug rug of me, Smitty, to have fur your furry own. I'm calling this "Aged to Purrfection".
All you have to do is leave a comment right here on my Mom's blog to be in the drawing. On Tuesday, Some lucky one of you will have your name drawn, and she'll put this puppy, er kitty, into the mail fur you. And since we like to give special purreference to all of our special fans and followers, you can leave an extra comment and tell us how you follow along. She says she'll even ship internationally, so everybody can join in!
So thanks fur coming! It's been good to see you!

Happy birthday, Mr. Smits! My birthday is a couple of days after yours...and in a month, we have four cats turning three. Added together, they haven't done one quarter of the traveling, hunting, or property patrolling that you've done. What a busy boy you've been. Take a break, Smitty--you deserve it!

Happy Purrthday, Smitty.... Lucy here from my mom's blog, Quiltingartist. You are a very handsome boy and it looks like you help your mom out a lot like I do. Some of the other kitties around here (Gracie and Abby) think I am a diva... but I just like being on the blog and hearing all the comments on how cute I am!!! Hope you have a mouse-snacking day!!
Happy Purtthday. Loved the story. My cats love to help with quilting as while, especially pushing pieces around on the design wall! Have to help figure out the design.

Happy Purrthday, Smitty. You've grown into such a handsome cat. My hubby and I like to read your stories. Of course it make my marmalade cat, Patches, kind of jealous. He is old like Gracie, but he is so sweet and cute just like you. We think your purrthday cake is cute too.

Happy Birthday Smitty! I hadn't realized that you were the model for the cat in Monopurly, but now I can't understand how I missed that. Hope you shared some of your purrrrthday cake with Gracie too.
Happy Birthday Smitty from Zorro and Lil' Fluff waaaaay down here in NZ. We were very excited to read about your antics but it exhausted us so much we had to have a nap. Now, 16 hours later, our hoomans have gone to bed and we are ready to play again. Typical! Anyhoo, we hope you had a lovely birthday and we look forward to hearing more from you and Gracie soon.
Happy Birthday Smitty! I'm so glad your Mom found you and brought you home. Thanks for sharing your wonderful adventures, I enjoy reading about your very exciting life.
Happy Birthday Smitty! You have the most wonderful sense of humour, and had me giggling and sniggering all through your delightful tale.
Wow, three years !~! Are you sure, kitty-boy ?~! Hmm, Happy Birthday must be the appropriate greeting then. Love the cake-are you able to blow out the candles or bat at the flames with your furry paws? It may be time for a choco cake in these parts too after seeing the one that resembles Your Purrfect Highness.
Happy Purrthday Smitty! I really enjoyed your mom's blog post today! You have grown up to be a beautiful boy! My little boy is about 2 years older than you, but he's a beautiful boy too! You have so many wonderful adventures. I bet you are really happy that your mom decided to take you home with her.
I follow you on bloglovin and facebook! What an adorable mug rug!
Happy Birthday from my 3 cats.
Hope you had a great birthday Smitty. You were so cute as a kitten that your Mom just couldn't resist! Your look-a likes, Greyson and Vincent in Alabama, turned 3 just three days before you. Please play nice with your sister since she hasn't been feeling well!
That was a fun post to read. Your life story is pretty great so far.

What a great wordsmith smithy has become, undoubtedly because he's had a good tutor -
He has the most stunning eyes, almost as if he has eye liner round them, natural of course, he's way too cool to need photo shop'ing!
I chuckled all through this this post and smiled too : )
Happy Birthday Smitty!!! What a beautiful cake ; )
Such a charming mug rug - Mom is very talented and creative. I adore all the photos - awww who can resist a furbaby?
I've been a follower for a few years. I get the posts when I open up Blogger, I think it would be called the Blogger dashboard reading list.
