Toysday, Er, Ah, I Mean, Tuesday!

One of the most awesome things that I received from winning the Fido Friendly essay contest is a Star Chaser Turbo Scratcher Cat Toy - lemme' tell you kitties, this toy rocks my socks off (well, it would if I actually had socks on...). It has a little ball in it that lights up when you whap it. And believe me, I whap it good! I play with this toy all the time. It has a place to scratch your clawrz and to rub catnip in it. When I can't sleep in the middle of the night I like to come downstairs and whap the ball it in the dark. The 'rents hate it when I do that! They always yell "Parker, Parker, come here now!" I guess they can't stand for me not to be snuggling with them - they just can't sleep without me! So if you are starting to think what you should ask Santa Claws to bring you for the holidays, you might want to consider this awesome toy. If you have siblings, it's a value added bonus to be able to whap them by mistake when you play!

The Return of Parker Pie!

Hi-ya!

I sure did miss everyone. It's been a very interesting few weeks here in O Hi O. Last you guys knew, the 'rents were on their way to a nice vacation at Lake Tahoe, we had our most favoriteist sitter coming to stay with us, we were holding a Happy Carrot Giveaway contest and our laptop seemed to be headed for that great recycle bin in the sky.

Let's start with the fun stuff - the giveaway! I had Mommy go to Random.org and pick a number between 1 and 46. She did as I asked and we came up with a winner - it was comment #8 and I am so pleased that the winner is three cool kitties from Minnie-soda! That's right, it's the Cat's Eye kitties - Theo, Diego-san and Thompson are going to be getting the coolest carrot in the Western hemisphere! That makes me happy because they look like the kind of guys who know how to appreciate a good 'nip carrot!

I think that's enough for today. But I do have a lot to tell you. A whole lot. Some of it is pretty funny, some of it not so much.

Later kitties, oh and here's a few smoochies for the weekend!  Smooch, Smooch Smooch!

ps - Sniffie - we're all praying very hard for you!

A Happy Carrot Giveaway!

Lookit' what I'm giving away!

This my dear kitties, is a Happy Carrot from Purrfectplay, my pals in Indiana that make organic toys that are fun and safe for us to play with. And it reeks (in a good way) of primo 'nip!!! Here's what they have to say about it -

"Lined with organic cotton canvas and covered with thick organic Colorgrown fleece, our 6 inch carrot contains over 1/2 cup of the finest organic catnip. Crafted right here in Indiana, it is crowned with floppy fun hemp cord "leaves". Durable and yummy, the Happy Carrot will bring many hours of happy play to your kitties. "

Sounds pretty cool, eh???

So, I was thinking, since the 'rents are leaving us on Friday for their stoopid vacation, I thought I'd have some fun here on the blog and host a giveaway. I like to keep things simple so all you have to do is leave a comment here and tell me you'd like to be entered in the drawing. But what I'd REALLY appreciate is for you to go and visit Purrfectplay, find them on Facebook, and tell them that Parker says "hi!" Would you do that for me? I haven't told them I'm doing this giveaway yet and the Mom 'rent is so busy I don't think she knows which end of me is up, so I'm not letting her pick me up - HA-HA-HA-HA-HA!

Oh - you know what else? I had to give up my laptop to the Laptop fixit guy again, so I will be without a computer for a little while. And a kitty without a computer is like, well...,a kitty that can't keep up with what's going on...I'll be back ASAP, OK? Meanwhile, leave a comment and go visit my buds at Purrfectplay!

I leave you with an old, but adorable photo of me...

...You're welcome!

Mommy said it was from the nice people over at Purrfectplay - they sent us a box of their goodies so we can host some giveaway contests! I'll tell you this much kitties, there are some goodies in this box that you would definitely want for your very own.

For starters, there is this bag of mixed Dust Bunnies! If you want to see a better photo, please go here. I know about these because Mommy brought one home for us last April from Blogpaws and we never leave it alone. They are 'da bomb! They are organic and safe for us to play with, and your 'rents can wash and dry them.  Do you want to enter to win this great bag of fun?

Good luck to all of you. This is gonna' be so much fun!

The Rudy Report

Hey there kitties! It's me - RUDY! with your Rudy Report! The 'rents are home! They are sunburned! They are tired! They are happy to see us and we are happy to see them! I guess the Cubs that they went to see won the game of ball that they were playing and it made the 'rents very happy. The seats that Mommy got for them to sit in were in the what is called the "Bleacher Seats" and if the sun is shining it can get very hot. It is not a good idea to sit in bleacher seats when you are very pale and forgot to wear any sunblock. Mommy looks a lot like a beet. I don't care what she looks like, I am just glad she and Daddy are home!
We have a surprise for you this week! Mommy met a wonderful lady last April at Blogpaws who has an awesome store and the lady sent us a box of goodies to have a giveaway with! Trust me, you don't want to miss out on entering our contest. More on that later this week.
The hots have landed in O Hi O with a vengeance! No deck time for us and Daddy has to spend a lot of time keeping his "maters" and other plants watered so they don't shrivel up and die. We spend a lot of time in the cool house taking naps. Mommy needs to help us catch up on what's been going on in the blogoshere. So, what have you been doing? We sure have missed you!

3 Blind Mice, 3 Blind Mice!

I won a drawing this month over at Moderncat! 3 Blind Mice from the very talented Marvelous Melissa! Everything about the prize was cool, even the packaging!

They smelled divine and they are very nom-mable (is that a word?) You should visit Melissa and see all of the wonderful things she has!

Rudy hogged in on them, he loves them too!

Thank-you Moderncat and Melissa!

Big Smoochies to you for this great contest. I love my mice!

ps - Mommy dicovered Picasa 3 this weekend. She's hooked!

Wanna' Win A Prize?

This is called "Swag"...

And you could win it!
All you have to do is enter a photo of yourself doing a version of the "Q" at Monty's awesome "Do The Q Contest"! We have chosen "Silliest Q" as a category and we can't wait to see the entries.
Our panel of judges will be made up of friends of our 'rents - beans who do not know all of us kitties in the blogoshere - that way there will be no partiality (whatever that means!)
So what are you waiting for? Get your photo entered in the "Q"
Have a sweet and easy Sunday kitties!

Pass The Cigar!

I got to get my creative kitty juices flowing at a contest that the groovy Meowers From Missouri had and I won! For my prize I hear that there is a catnip cigar headed my way.
Kitties, does that rock or what?
Thanks to the Meowers for a great contest and for you and Getzger for choosing me!

Formerly Feral Friday - Name The Big Kitties!

Lookit' what moved in with us!

Formerly Feral Lions!

Aren't they wonderful?

Mommy said I could have a contest to give them names! They are going to live outdoors on our porch entryway. They are going to sit where our big planters are. (This is a photo of our home before we moved in last year)

So here's the contest deal. Our family needs two names. One for each lion.

You will have until March 18th (Tuesday Night at Midnight - Eastern Time) to cast your votes.

Winner(s) will be announced on Thurday, March 20th.

After the close of voting we will have a panel of human judges pick winners from the names submitted.

The winner will receive a groovy kitty prize package from me - and trust me, I know what a groovy prize package should look like!

You need to have a blog or a Catster page to enter.

Have fun, be creative and enter!
