Hello. Ah am Gracie. Ah am one of Sarah’s cats. Ah am one of two girls in this house. Everyone else is a boy.
That is the disgusting.
Here is me. Am Ah not pretty? Ah am pretty. You can send me the tributes. Ah like the Pounce.
Sarah asked me to write the entry today because Ah have not ever done so, despite sitting on many, if not all, of Sarah’s romance novels. Mah Gawd, they are everywhere. Piles of them. Ah like to drape my
hairy backside
– ahem – beautiful puffulous posterior across as many as possible, especially if they are in the sun. The books make mah furs glitter, and Ah hear that is very desirable.
Let us go back a minute. Aren’t Ah pretty? Yes, thank you. Admire Mah
Booty
Beauty.
Anyway, this is my brother, Oliver. Sarah calls him The Diggus. Ah call him The Stupid. He is the very dumb. Oliver and Ah were born in Brooklyn. We are rescue kitties adopted from North Shore Animal League. Sarah adopted us because it was the easiest way she knew of to make sure she and Mah Man didn’t break up when they moved in together. See? Ah am pretty, and Ah am the relationship guarantee, in one pretty furry package.
Then came The Spawn, and his late brother, The Foo. They are rescue kitties, too, from… oh, Ah do not care where they are from, but I wish Spawn would go back there. He is annoying. There are more boys, too: DOG Boys. Can you imagine the indignity? First, there was Toto, and Logan, who both came from the Petfinder.org. And now there are the TWO boy dogs – this is unacceptable but no one is listening to me, here. Buzz and Zeb are from a kill shelter in Arkansas, and Ah will tell you between us that Ah am glad they are here, but Ah wish they would stop trying to sniff Mah Butt. Indignity, Ah tell you.
Anyways. Sarah asked me to write this to tell you that the people at the Avon Books have lost their ever loving’ minds. First they wanted to make a book trailer, but when they said Ah could not be The Star, I said, No. Spend your money somewhere else. Like on me. Then they said no. So then we had the idea. Their author, Liz Carlyle, has rescue cats (clearly, she is the woman of the excellent taste) and to celebrate her new book, One Touch of Scandal, Avon is doing A Touch Of the Crazypants Fund Raising.
For every comment left here, and at a collection of other blogs about the romance, AvonBooks will be donating $1 to Cat Angels, a rescue organization chosen by the Ms. Carlyle. She has the good taste, yes.
The donation will be capped at $3000.00 US, with one comment per person, though you can comment at the other sites including Avon Romance, DearAuthor, Romantic Times Blog, Borders TrueRomance, Fresh Fiction among others (links to come! – SBS). Comments will remain open until we hit $3000.00, or 3000 comments across all the different sites. How long do you think that crazy will take?
If you have the time for that kind of thing. Ah personally am due for Mah Nap.
So go leave the comments here and elsewhere. Feel free to compose odes to the awesome of animal rescue, or to Mah Beauty, or both, and help rescue kitties, like me. $3000, 3000 comments, all for the kitty rescue. Leave the comment, spend the dollar. Is easy.
Because rescue kitties like me, we are the Awesome. And so pretty, did you not notice? Yes, Ah know. So pretty.
Diggus, Spawn, Gracie, and Zeb have a message for you:
Hooray for helping cats. <33
I love this promotion! Way to go Liz and Avon! Will there be cats in the novel? XD
Great idea! My bestkitty is fluffy and dark grey and snuggly and boy is he dumb. I love him more than anyone really should : )
Had a rescue kitty myself. The love of my life! <3
Outstanding fundraiser idea. I will check out the book, too. Ah am also pretteh.
Oh my, miss Kitty, VERY attractive. However my cat would like to warn you not to step foot in her territory, as she is the “Coopervator” and would not be pleased to have to acknowledge the presence of another attractive cat.
Let’s hear it for the kitties! Great cause. Her Royal Highness, aka Maxie, aka evil beastie thanks you too.
Kelly B.
Yes Kitties!
Yes to a cause, it is a kitty cause.
Gotta luvs the kitties (not to mention the romance novels). Thanks for doing this!
Beautiful, beautiful cat. And so photogenic, too.
Yay Kittie rescue!
This is a great cause! Gracie you are a beautiful kitty.
“Puffulous posterior” for the win!
Hell yes I’ll comment to help resuce kitties!
Love my shelter Kitties!!
Wish they’d do foster rescue for cats whose mom and kids have to go into domestic violence shelter so they could get them back when they had their own place. Ditto dogs.
I love my cats, most of whom are rescue kitties. I can’t imagine not having them.
Kittehs! Wish I had a kitteh…
All our kitties have been rescues. They’re the best!
moneh for kittehs! woo-hoo!
What a cool idea! If I weren’t extremely allergic to cats, I would be well on my way to becoming a crazy old cat lady.
Here’s for the kitties!!
RIP, Casper.
My first post here—on behalf of Plumb Bob, Achilles, Nick and Tabby (our indoor rescue kittahs) and Larry and One-Eye (our outdoor feral kittahs) for a very worthy cause.
Commenting for the kitties and goggies out there!
thanks for doing this – hope we get 3000 posts!
My first cat was feral—named Schmuck before I discovered she was a girl. Mentally if not genderly apropo. Love kitties, though we are dog people at the moment. Sigh…
Always for the kitties. The ones we had, have, and will have in the future!
I’m so excited to find out that Liz Carlyle is coming out with a new book. She is a new(-ish) author for me and I’ve really enjoyed what I’ve read. Also, yay to saving kitties!
I shall help teh kittiez! Two of my cats were from the local shelter, and the third a leftover from a mother cat who left a litter under the porch (who has found a new home now, along with the kittens, once they were rounded up).
Count me in as a cat person! I have two furry divas of my own. (Actually, four furry divas when you count my sweet doggies as well; a Sheltie/Pommie mix and then our baby… a fully grown, very bossy 5 lb Pommie).
That’s a BEAUTIFUL cat, by the way. I’ve always wanted one like that.

This makes me happy. Thank you, Avon and SBTB!
More of a dog person myself, but this is a great cause and I am happy to add my comment and $. Everyone should get their dogs and cats desexed.
The kittehs (and doggle) are so cute! And yes, Gracie is gorgeous.
I’m pretty sure all of mine and my boyfriend’s cats are/were rescue kittehs in one way or another (as in kittehs who needed good homes), although none from shelters.
Yes the kittahs are beautiful and so, so smart! We have 4 kittahs in the house and 3 of them were adopted or coaxed in from the “wilds” of suburbia. This is a great thing Avon is doing for a good cause! ^5
What a great cause!!! Save the kitties!!!!
We had a calico cat when we were kids. She was very sweet.
Great cause. Holly Joey Rudy and Norman salute you with all four paws (each).
Wow, ladies! This is an impressive list of comments. I’ll bet Avon’s purse is starting to feel a little light right about now . . . thank you one and all.
this is a cause very dear to my heart, thank you to all who are taking part in this, all of my dogs have been rescues, and would never aquire an animal by any other means. 🙂
Meow Meow! Meow name is Lafayette. Meow think you are very pretty. Meow am a boy cat. Meow wonder if you have boyfriend cat? Meow Meow.
Spamword: given33. Most kitties aren’t given 33 chances to find a home 🙁
