The SSA Week blogathon for the Secular Student Alliance is finally over! We raised a total of $91,249.00. Not quite the $100,000 we were shooting for — but pretty darned close, and totally freaking awesome.
So to say Thanks to everyone who supported this effort — whether you donated money, publicized the blogathon through Facebook and Twitter and Reddit and so on, or just cheered us on as we blogged our hearts out — here is one last round of kitten photos, in which each of the kittens say “Thank You.” We’ve got Talisker in super close-up, a boneless Houdini bent double with her paws looking enormous, and Comet sprawled on her back, waving her paws in the air like she just doesn’t care. And as a special bonus… I have another kitten video!
And now, here’s the special bonus: Comet and Houdini tussling!
Make note of Houdini’s disturbing chattering at the 0:26 mark.
Again: Huge thanks to everyone who supported the Secular Student Alliance in the SSA Week Blogathon, or who has ever supported them. They are an awesome organization, and our movement is significantly stronger and has a much brighter future because of them. The blogathon is over, but you can still help them out. Thanks again!
Only one of my kitties ‘chatters’, the female one (calico). She does it at birds and skwerlz, through the glass patio door, mostly. I think it’s weird. My two males don’t do it and neither has any other cat I have had.
Ohhh why is Comet’s tummy shaved? Did she have an operation or is it to keep cool during the summer?
She had an ultrasound a few weeks ago. She swallowed and barfed up a refrigerator magnet alphabet letter — the letter T, in case you’re curious — plus she’d been having some ongoing digestive issues, so we took her in for an ultrasound, to diagnose the ongoing problems and make sure she hadn’t swallowed anything else untoward. All is now well.
Tortie for the win!!!!
Glad to hear that Comet is okay.
Give the trio some extra loves from us!
“She swallowed and barfed up a refrigerator magnet alphabet letter — the letter T, in case you’re curious”
That’s oddly both hilarious and impressive.
I squeed more and more as I scrolled down the page, haha
