Versatile Blogger awardie

Another awardie, this time from Keisha

It is called the Versatile Blogger. Here is some information from Keisha's blog which tellsyou all about it.

"These are the VBA rules:
Thank the person who gave you this award. That’s common courtesy. Include a link to their blog. That’s also common courtesy — if you can figure out how to do it. Next, select 15 blogs/bloggers that you’ve recently discovered or follow regularly. (Nellie says: Pick blogs or bloggers that are excellent!) Nominate those 15 bloggers for the Versatile Blogger Award. Finally, tell the person who nominated you 7 things about yourself."
 Now I will have to tell seven things about me me, me, me.

1. I am very modest. I have to be, as others would feel intimidated if I let them know about all my magnificent qualities as soon as they met me.
2. When leaping on visitors I only stick my claws in a little way, so as not to damage them.
3. I am very intellectual and write haiku (is this two things?)
4. I prefer chicken. (breakfast, morning tea, lunch, afternoon tea, dinner, supper, midnight feast), so am quite easy to cater for.
5. I am very tolerant: I have learned that this is the best way to get your human to learn. Positive feedback is what I use.
6. I have a distinctive and striking voice. The tone of my voice can range from a soft almost kittenlike miaouw to an authoritative commanding tone (but avoiding stridency).
7. My appearance, as you will have observed, is magnificent, my form subtly beautiful, my muscles agile. Altogether I would be a fit subject for a  classical sculpture.

I will pass the awardie on to the following blogs:

Huffle Mawson

The Island Cats

The Cat's Meow
Lynettea says she is getting worn out trying to help me so I will have to complete the list afterwards. MIAOUWWW!!!!

recipients of the Leibster awardie

The following blogs have been awarded the Liebster awardie. See extra notice in the post second below. I haven't been able to spend the time at the computer to send the award on. Don't worry dear friends, this is not because I am ill. It is due to circumstances beyond my control. (Lynettea) If you have any advice in controlling humans please forward it to me at your earliest convenience. I am going to relax for the rest of the morning in one of my favourite places, high above any human.

“Liebster” means dear, dearest, favorite or beloved in German.  The requirements of receiving the award are to link back to who gave it to you, paste the Award on your blog, then choose 5 of your favorite blogs to pass the award on to that are up-and-coming blogs with less than 200 followers, let them know by leaving a comment on their blog and hope that the 5 blogs chosen will keep on spreading the love by passing the award on to 5 more blogs.
So we are passing this award on to the following:

I Survived

I went to my Vet and I didn't like it, but I survived. Lynettea made a special appointment with my Personal Vet so I could have my Annual Check Up and Vaccinations. He nearly didn't give me vaccinations, but Lynettea was concerned, so he did. I don't like being FELT ALL OVER, which is not very private. My Vet said I had put on some weight, which was a good sign. Lynettea said I looked rather a magnificent cat and he agreed.

I have my doubts about Lynettea though. How can she expect me to trust her when she lures me down from my walkway (where I am resting in the sunshine) and then thrusts me into a small confining cage?  And I don't like going in taxi's. I think I need a coach of some sort. It doesn't have to be gold plated.

An Awardie from Huffle

Thanks Huffle for the awardie. I think your comment is quite correct. I do have problems with Lynettea as she is very slack about letting me get near the computer. I have to keep reminding her about all sorts of things lately.

I have to do all sorts of linking and writing on other blogs for this award. I might have to do it later, because I think it is time I supervised Lynettea to get to bed. If we are up too late she might be even worse at helping me tomorrow. The latest thing is that she won't let me attempt to catch the rats that are eating the grapes because she is afraid I might get rat bites. So as soon as she sees me looking into the ferns she picks me up. I can't get into my fern hollow any more, as the ferns have grown over it, so I have to listen to rat sounds from the path.

AND THANK YOU ADAN AND LEGO FOR THE LOVELY CARD FROM TAIWAN. Lynettea is jealous, as she never gets a card from Taiwan. Michico has done me a lovely painting of Adan and Lego.

My Haiku NOT Mentioned

I wasn't very please to see that my haiku did not rate a mention in the review of the Haiku Bindii journal. You will remember that Lynettea used some of my haiku in the book without crediting me. I feel sure that if my name had been credited I would have done better. I notice that no poems with cats in them have been quoted.
Lynettea was very pleased with the review and ignored my feelings. When I complained she said, 'Don't be silly Diamond, It is a good review and a lot of poems are quoted.'
I am not silly.

I am an official Bequest Pet

My card and disc came yesterday, so Lynettea says I am now an official Bequest Pet. She has to carry my card around with her in case anything happens to her. Then if it does (which I hope it won't) somebody would find the card and see that there was a special pet to be looked after and ring the RSPCA emergency number IMMEDIATELY, so someone could rush to my side.
There was also a nice letter thanking me for publicizing the Bequest Pet Program on my blog. RSPCA South Australia Bequest Pet Program

As I don't wear a collar, I couldn't have the disc attached to me. I am an inside cat, so I just have my microchip. I am not sure where the microchip is. We weren't sure what to do with the disc, so Lynettea put it around the neck of the model of the ancient Egyptian cat on the dresser. Lynettea got the model at the Egyptian exhibition when it came to the SA Museum. I couldn't go because cats were, as usual, excluded. Which is rather odd, as the Ancient Egyptians regarded cats as sacred.

I am not sure about the cat near me in my picture. It doesn't move around at all, so I don't bother with it too much. I think Lynettea should have moved it to give a better view of my noble form.

Not available in China

Lynettea tells me that my blog cannot be seen in China. How disappointing for all the many cats in China. Also my Friendship Bear Emma cannot see my blog. Maybe they think I have a seditious blog. Maybe I am a politically incorrect cat?

nǐ hǎo to all the cats in China.

I wonder if any Chinese cats have their own blogs. I would like to see one.
