Awards!

While Karl was cruising we got showered in awards!!!
We actually got the Golden Rose Award from Catnip Corner already in December but never got around to posting about it....
And also in December we got the Golden Rose at the tea party that Miss Peach gave for her Mom's birthday.
Here it is, thank you so much!!!Then Catnip Corner also gave us the "you make my day award" just two days ago - we are so honored, thank you very much for giving us awards, we really appreciate it a lot!
This award is presented to bloggers whose blog brings you happiness and inspiration and makes you feel happy about Blogland.

Our good friend Ariel gave us this wonderful award:

Thank you Ariel for being our friend!
There is no way for us to chose among all the blogging animals to give these awards to. All of you make our day everyday we go and read your blogs and we feel like you are all our friends.
So - if you are a blogging animal and have been visited by us - we give you these awards. Just take them - display them - and say The Cat Realm gave them to you!

And we got the next award from two cats!
Sassy, wonderful friend, CCSI producer, Astronaut, Cheerleader - and we don't even want to speculate about what else she might come up with next...
And Yao-lin, Royal Highness of the Blogosphere and brother-in-spirit of Anastasia

There are rules attached to this award:
1. You must write a post with links to 5 blogs that make you think (no fish or bird blogs, they'll just make you hungry)
2. Acknowledge this post
3. Optional Proudly display the Thinking Blogger Award with a link to the post that you wrote
4. Go tell your humans to fork over the treats!

We will pass this award to

And finally an award was given to Anastasia by Yao-Lin, "because she shone brighter than most during her too short time in this world."

He created this award for the sole purpose of recognizing those bloggers who are, quite literally, gems!
She sure was a gem and we miss her every day! Thank you Yao-Lin for remembering and honoring her!!!

And don't miss to take a look at Ruis and my blog - because we got an award too!!!!

Please Come Home, Mao! and Annie!!

Mao is home safely!

Gone Cruising!

Sassy, creator and producer of CCSI, gave us a cruise as an opening night present for The Santa Caper!

We Are Starting The New Year With Awards!

Thank you Jimmy Joe to start our year in the best possible way: by getting an award!!!
Jimmy gave us the So Special Award "because they spread good karma around" - how much better can life get???

We like to give this award to some cats that are very special themselves:
First my dear boyfriend Ruis. He is the most special cats of all and the best boyfriend a cat can have! He is caring and loving, multi-talented and beautiful, and always humble about it!
Then to our dear friend Sassy. With her idea of CCSI she started one of the most amazing endeavors the cat blogosphere has seen so far! It takes a very special cat to come up with an idea like that and then MAKE IT WORK!
And to our friends Opus and Roscoe. They moved to Italy so their human servant wouldn't feel lonely, they organize raffles to help others and they are the backbone of CCSI, writing, acting, co-producing and graphic-designing.
All of these cats are very special - as in my opinion is every cat and especially those who blog! - and I am very glad and happy to give them this award as those four especially have grown very close to me in the last weeks through the production of CCSI.

Furthermore our dear friend Sassy gave us the "Life Is Like Hell Without Friends Award" back on December 20 - but I never posted about it -
Thank you Sassy, good friend!


We would like to pass this award on to Tyler - our very good friend who gave us the session with the animal communicator when we were in need of it but could not afford it! We will never forget acts of kindness like that one!

Sleepy Sunday - He Is Mine!!!

Yes, this is Emil. And yes, Karl tries to do the Sleepy Sunday.... But I own him - and I will wake him up any moment now so he plays with me!
By the way: Our beds are sitting on the stain glass window that the butler is making right now.

Anastasia's Box of Live

I decided to do this meme which was created by Miss Peach for Anastasia.
Here is her "box of live"

and I put the detailed post about it on her own blog.

I miss you and I love you, Anastasia!

Our Secret Paws!!!

Our Secret Paws arrived actually a while ago - but I was so busy with CCSI that I postponed posting about it...
We got a wonderful package from Zippy, Princess Zipporah!

Emil and I are bringing out the package and then Emil and Mrs. OZ opened it and found all these wonderful things!

Temptations in THREE different flavors! Gourmet food. Great toys. And HOMEGROWN CATNIP!
The maid took that away and said something like "rationing"...
Then Emil really got into the fish on the string toy. I am just supervising, I am a famous and successful writer, I don't do such silly behavior....

In the back you can see Anastasia's 'box of life' - I will post about that this weekend.
While Emil plays and I supervise, Mrs. OZ guards the rest of our secret paws treasure!

Thank you Zippy soooooo much!!!!

P.S. Do you see how BIG Emil is??? And he is only 6 month old!!!!!

Happy Birthday Maid!!!

Mrs.OZ, Karl, Ruis and Emil in front.

Our maid has gone to New York to celebrate her birthday, which is today. I heard at Miss Peach's tea party that Caesar and Princess Mom's birthday is today too! The maid will actually meet Asta, one of our actors/graphic designers in the next CCSI episode, in New York!!!
Meanwhile back at the ranch we have the house to ourselves!!! So I invited my boyfriend Ruis over for some days and today we will celebrate the maid's birthday with a big PARTY of our own!!!
Anybody who wants to join: there is plenty of food, we have the whole fridge for ourselves, and of course plenty of niptini..... hahahahahahahahahaha
Let's party!

Thursday Thirteen: Excuses

Thirteen excuses why I am not visiting other cats right now:

1. CCSI - I had to do re-writes.
2. CCSI - I am working on sets.
3. CCSI - I am working on costumes.
4. CCSI - I have more than a dozen emails every day and as soon as I answer one there are two more!
5. CCSI - I have new ideas that I have to write down.
6. CCSI - I get distracted by Ruis when we are together at the set....
7. CCSI - We have a black hole that swallows emails and creates time consuming confusion.
8. CCSI - I am working on some more sets.
9. CCSI - I am working on some more costumes.
10. CCSI - I have some more new ideas that I have to write down.
11. CCSI - I have to think about my Oscar acceptance speech.
12. CCSI - I got niptinied at Marilyn's party and lost time due to a hangover. I drank the niptinies to calm down from CCSI production!
13. The Maid - my typist will abandon me for five days to celebrate her birthday in New York.

And yes, those are really just excuses because nothing should be more important than visiting your friends! I hope our show - airing in four parts, starting December 14 - will make up for it.
And to tell you the truth: it is a whole lot of fun to be part of the production! I love it!!!

The Most Anticipated Event Of The Month

The fabulous second episode of CCSI will open December 14 at 6 pm EST at Sassy's blog!
Do not miss this cutting edge production with 25 actors from 6 different countries!

Busy At The Set....

My deepest apologies to everybody for not visiting at the moment. I had NO idea how busy one can get during production of a new CCSI episode!!! Above a sneak peak at the reindeer during rehearsal. Everybody is so professional and talented and hard working, it is a pleasure!
Do you know we have a cast of 25 international actors? You can find them all at our fabulous producer Sassy's blog!
And my sweet boyfriend Ruis is directing. He is sooooo good! And the sweetest cat I ever met, purr purr purr.........
And then there are Opus and Roscoe! What a team. Not only did they write the first extraordinary episode of CCSI, they also do graphic design, are co-producing, and act!
And Asta, Daisy and Zoolatry are all helping with the graphics!
