The Joy Of Cats. Except Not.
January 17, 2008 | Filed under: Stuff
UPDATE: Winners are Darlene and Helene. Congrats! Email me with several book choices from my backlist, and don’t forget to give me your snail mail!!!
Here’s my very pesky kitten.
Sadie likes long naps on top of clean laundry, pouncing my head in the middle of the night, and my personal favorite, teething on my printed manuscripts. If there’s a way to slow me down when I’m writing, she’ll find it.
She’s tenacious that way. In any case, I haven’t done a giveaway in awhile. Caption the photo. I’ll draw a few names to win your choice of any of my books from my backlist.
P.S. SMART AND SEXY has been nominated for Favorite Funny book of 2007 at All About Romance. Go check it out, and vote for your own favorites as well.

“Mama, mama, stop working. Come play with me. Puuurrrrty please”
Congrats on the nomination!
On another note, I have a cat that walks on the computer and plops herself down on the keyboard – especially when I am on a deadline.
Oh, and I’m doing a giveaway too!

She’s adorable! And I hate to pimp my own blog, but I just had to share this posting from a few weeks ago: http://booklady.wordpress.com/2007/12/26/puzzled/
Our kitties may make it harder to work on novels, but at least they give us read blog topics! As for the caption, the only one I can think of at this time of the morning is the highly uncreative, “Hi Mommy!”

Okay, here’s on, courtesy of your dear daughters:
Posted on January 17th, 2008 at 7:17 am“Stop looking at me!”

Congratulations on the nomination!

Mom! I can’t come out! I’m NAKED!
Suddenly, a kitty enters the landscape…
OK, stop it or I’ll BITE this thing!
Who’s cuter, me or this thing? Huh? Huh?
[I have a 6 lb. dog who is probably smaller than your cat, and thank God she hasn't learned to jump up on my desk! LOL]

“Where’s my lunch?!!”
I took in a mama cat with five kittens. Kept the two runts and mama. She was all bones when she came to live with me. Our vet said he had never seen a cat that skinny and still be alive. I kept a big bowl of food down for her at all times. When the bowl got half empty she would start to panic so I made sure the bowl was kept brimming with food.
I would love to have one of your books.

If I pull it a little closer I can _finally_ check my email.
Posted on January 17th, 2008 at 1:23 pmMelanie says:
Okay, I thought of another one. (We’re having a snow day here. LOL Not as much as you have, but still enough to get out of work).
“Did you get my email about the puppy? We need to talk.”
Okay, now I’m going to do something around the house. Other than sitting on my butt, that is.

“I made you a cookie but i eated it” not very original i know…
or “There are no cookies back here!
My furball likes to gnaw on the keyboard keys. I even have a pic of her falling asleep at the keyboard after an unsuccesful attemps at eating one of the keys
Congrats on the nomination! Love your books. They make me laugh every single time.

“You don’t mind if I push this out of my way do you?”

Jill, I want a kitty so bad but can’t have one so I have to live vicariously through you – keep the adorable pictures coming!
Congrats on the nomination!

Congratulations, Jill!
Posted on January 17th, 2008 at 4:21 pmHmm… captions – well, here goes:
“Can you see me?”
“Are you done yet?”
“Is hide and seek over?”
*If I pull it… just… a little… bit …harder… it’ll go boom!* (depending on how close the laptop is to the edge… if there is one).
“Nooo… don’t block meeeee”
Haha, I saw the picture and kept thinking “lolcats lolcats lolcats!” but I’m just not that clever. If you haven’t heard of it … http://icanhascheezburger.com/

It’s not my fault. We were chatting about The Wizard of Oz today.
