yoo-hoo... another award!


Yoo-hoo, YOO-HOO!  I got another award!!!  I'm so thrilled.  Thank you so much Sammy, for giving me the ABC award.  As some of you probably know, ABC stands for Awesome Blog Content and I'm just thrilled to bits that Sammy thought my blog was even just a little bit awesome.  Sammy has a pretty awesome blog of his own.  It's called onespoiledcat and it's an amazing read.  You'll definitely want to check it out!

When accepting the ABC award, I have to list twenty-six things about myself...  one thing for each letter in the alphabet.  This was kind of tricky.  Thought for a moment I might have to break out the dictionary but, in the end, I managed to find all twenty-six.  I did it!  Yoo-hoo!!!  So, here goes...

A is for being ADDICTED to the nip.
B is for BOY cat...  even though the peep gave me a girls' name.  What a peep!
C is for being CURIOUS...  'cause I'm a cat...  and we are.
D is for being DISMAYED at some of the things my peeps do.  Giving me a girls' name, for
   example...
E is for EDUCATED.  I was home schooled by my Mama but she gave me a wonderful education.
F is for FORMERLY FERAL.  Really and truly...  I was.
G is for being a GORGEOUS GUS.  That's what peep #1 calls me all the time so I'm pretty sure it
    must be true.
H is for HISTORIAN.  Read my blog?  It's all true, you know.  I write the history of tomorrow.
I is for my getting a little INDIGNANT when people think that the peep writes my blog.
J is for being JENNIFER'S best friend.  That's peep #1.  Her name is Jennifer.
K is for a KEYBOARD clicking blogger cat.  Yes, it is really I who writes this blog twice a week.
L is for LITERARY.  You've read my blog?
M is for creating the expression MOUSES!  I really hope it catches on.
N is for NOT a girl even though I've got a girls' name.  Blame the peeps!
O is for being the OBJECT of my peeps' affections.  I'm pretty sure that I am.
P is for being in the PEEP PROTECTION PATROL.  I'm their leader, you know.  Must protect the
   peeps.
Q is for QUICK-AS-A-WINK which is what I am when I race outdoors when I'm supposed to be in.
R is for being a READER.  I try my best to read all my friends' blogs every single day.
S is for STERLING and SILVER which describe my tabby coat.  Oh, and I'm SHORT-HAIRED, too.
T is for being TRUSTING of my peeps.  Not too fond of others, though...  'cause I was feral.
U is for UNATTACHED.  Just lettin' the lady kitties know...
V is for VACCINATED.  I hate it but it's important.  We've all been needled.
W is for WORLD famous.  I've got friends from all over the world, now.  Wonderful!  Ooh...  that
    starts with a W, too.
X is for being a bit of a XENOPHOBE...  'cause I was feral and all.
Y is for YOO-HOO! which is how I felt when Sammy gave me this award.
Z is for the ZIGGING and ZAGGING I do when the peep wants to take me to see the doctor.

Now, I get to award some other kitties with the ABC award.  Ooh...  this is so much fun.  Of course, there are lots of blogs out there with awesome content so it was hard to choose just a few.  But it gave me an excellent excuse to read lots & lots of them which, of course, was lots & lots of fun!  Yoo-hoo!!!  And if any of you kitties don't want to participate or just have too much on the go right now and want to hold off until later, that's okay.  There are no obligations...  PROMISE!

10.  Bama & Boise at Shat Cast

I would have loved to have given all my blogging buddies this award but I think I was only allowed ten and my eyes were getting crossed from doin' so much reading.  There comes a time when a kitty has just got to get off the computer.  Know what I mean?

  8. Congrats on your award, Nerissa!

    1. Well... as you know I was feral. My mama brought my sibs and I to the peeps' veranda when we were a few weeks old. We wouldn't let the peeps near us. They could only watch us from afar. So, they named us without 'checking things out', if you know what I mean. Constance & Beatrice were calicos so they KNEW they were girls. Desdemona & I were both silver tabbies and they had no idea but peep #1 says that we were pretty, so... The rest is history!

  30. Conga rats on your award. Those are some mighty good answers. We are glad to meet you since you are a formerly feral kitty. All of us are formerly feral. And we are terrific cats. That was fun reading your answers. Thanks for your nice Birthday wishes and good to meet you.

  31. I'm really glad that you don't have to be feral anymore, but why did they give you a girl's name??

    1. Well, 'cause I was feral, they couldn't get close enough to me to check out my parts... if you know what I mean. The peep says I was pretty so, she guessed I was a girl. She guessed WRONG!!!

    1. There were four of us in the litter and we were all given Shakespearean names that contained an 's' sound... Nerissa, Desdemona, Beatrice & Constance. Peep #1 chose Shakespearean names 'cause she trained as an 'actor'.

  38. Thanks for 'splaining about your name, Buddy. The Human teaches a Brit Lit class so she is partial to Shakespeare. Any name from that source is a-okay with her, ha ha meow!

    Hey, I am going to do my ABC post tomorrow! Come on over ;-)
