Gaius the Cat is having a wonderful contest. It is called Raise A Paw and when we read about it we decided that we all wanted to give it a try and enter. Well... three of us decided to enter. Powder refused to raise her paw no matter what we tried . She couldn't be coaxed, bribed or shamed into doing it. It isn't that she doesn't want to support a worthy cause, she's very shy. We love her anyway and we'll just try extra hard with our paws to make up for her refusal to perform for the camera. We chose Wayside Waifs for our special cause. Wayside Waifs is Kansas City's largest Humane Society and it helps thousands of homeless animals every year. Mommy was a volunteer there for a very long time and even though we live in O Hi O now, she still stays in touch with a lot of the wonderful people there. You can read about some of her experiences with Wayside Waifs here and here.
First we have Puff limbering up.
A 4-paw raise! Very impressive sis!
Here's her classic one-paw entry.
Rudy is confused about which paw to raise!
Oh! The front paw, OK.
Now...Gimme treat!
My photographer cuts my head out of the first shot.
Too much feather, not enough face!
Um, Mom, get your hand out of the shot!

Sweet photos, sweet kitties. We are still enjoying our treats 'n toys...
You all done a great job raising your paws! I am especially impressed with Puff's four paw raise. I think Powder is raising her paw in spirit.
I think the Wayside Waifs is an excellent organization and a very worthy cause.

That is a great organization, Parker. You guys did a good job. I think that Puff is a really good paw-raiser, especially. Although Rudy's back-paw pose is pretty funny, too!

Hey, sweet Parker. Mama wants to put your Diabetes badge on our bloggie. We's asking permission. It's a special cause to us cause mama is diabetic and one of the kitties who went before me was, too. Check out the diabetic site on the bottom of our linkies, too...
Thanks, sweetie.
You all did a great job with that photo shoot. I hope the contest goes well.
Rudy you are awesome - RAWRRRR. Wow. Puff, we love the four paw and Parker, yes yes Perfect as always.
Glad your mama made it home. At Lan Ta is a BIG place to have to wait.
Purrs for a happy week. We love all your pictures!
Wonderful paw raising!!! We have a cause but our staff has real problems getting us to raise our paws - we are all so strong willed - don't like to do what being told....
But with you good example - maybe we can do it too....
That contest is one of the best ever, we think! And yours is a wonderful cause!
What a great cause! Bravo.
Moe & Mindy
Great job! What a worthy cause. It is the sentiment that is important Powder, not the actual paw raise.
Good job with your paw raising guys!
Wonderful Photos,
I especially crazy LOVE "Now...Gimme treat!" That is a neat one~!!!!!!
Great paw-raising pictures. I love the four-paw-raise. You picked a great cause to raise your paws for.
Hey Parker...regarding the comment you left at our bloggie about cleaning out the basement.....It took mom about 3 years to work up the energy and the desire to get down there & do it!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Very cool cause Parker and cute photos of your guys paws up! Wayside Waifs is a neat place. Our Dad had diabetes, too and we put the badge on our blog. Thanks for that!
Your FL furiends,
YAY for the good cause and we love all of your fotos!
