Yoohoo ! YOOHOO !

«On the occasion of the celebration of 100000th visitor of his blog, our buddy Nerissa created a quite new award, the Yoo-hoo ! YOO-HOO ! Award, and passed it to several prestigious member of the feline blogosphere.

Thus imagine my enjoyment when Hisia gave it to me last week : Yoo-hoo, YOO-HOO ! Good thing I had returned home, otherwise I would have missed it, that would have been stupid, right ?

The rules for accepting the Yoo-hoo ! YOO-HOO ! Award are pretty simple.

  • firstly, post the award on your blog and thank the blogger who gave it to you.
  • secondly, visit at least three of the blogs that are receiving the award along with you and leave a comment.
  • thirdly, tell us all three things you have to celebrate. You know, three things for which you are thankful.
  • lastly, pass along the award to seven other bloggers and let them know you have done so.

Beautiful Hisia, thank you very much to have thought of me for this great award, it comes just at the right time after a few weeks rather animated !

I visit and comment regularly on the blogs which received this award at the same time as me, then concatulations and see you soon friends !

Finally, I celebrate with big Yoo-hoo ! YOO-HOO ! the following three things :

  1. my return at home after four days of disappearance : I do not moreover know really if it is I or then Claire and Momo who celebrates most this event…
  2. the next arrival of Pixie, my younger sister by adoption
  3. the bonds of friendship which I share daily with you all all around the world

«It’s my turn to give the Yoo-hoo ! YOO-HOO ! Award (drum roll) :

10 things to do if your cat disappears

annonce Zorro When I disappeared, Claire and Momo put four days finding me. It is thanks to a hen that they succeeded : the neighbor looked for her hen, saw from afar me, and told it to Claire and Momo. After good moment spent to have a walk in the village, they finally perceived me. Momo moved forward little to me then let me approach. He offered me my favorite treats, and was able to take me in arms to return home (OK, he held me in his arms but one of the hands held so slowly but firmly the skin of my neck to prevent me from floundering and from leaving).

I believe that they found me because they were lucky, because all the blogosphere and the groups of crazy cat people hummed and prayed so that it happens, but also because they knew how to put into practice the following points :

  1. Anticipate : any cat, even an indoor cat, may run away and disappear once or the other time ! Do not wait that the cat disappears to prepare a simple, clear and readable poster in case. Choose a rather big and readable writing, and one or two recent photos. The poster will contain the name of the cat, the date of its disappearance, the portable phone number, the name and the address of the owner of the cat
  2. Anticipate: microchip the cat
  3. In case of disappearance, do not wait to let know that you lost your cat
  4. Warn the neighbors (houses, businesses) by asking them to check their cellar, their garage, and their garden shed
  5. Put posters in the district : choose very visible places (bus stop, mailbox, bancomat, newspapers box)
  6. Put posters in schools surroundings and shopping malls
  7. Warn the shelters of the area and the SPCA
  8. Use web sites planned for that purpose to launch an “lost cat » alert : they are in connection with shelters
  9. Warn the veterinarians of the area and the department of garbage dump
  10. Lead searches on foot around the house, by walking slowly and by calling the cat at regular intervals in the most quiet moments of the day; stop to listen to and look.

Second blogoversary

Loupi261Today, it is the second anniversary of the Swiss Cat Blog !

It’s our angel Loupi who began to publish messages from time to time. It was very occasional at the beginning, reason why Claire and he completely spent next to the first anniversary of the blog.

After my arrival, the publications were more frequent, and we had more cat friends which visited us. Zorro102
It’s a pity that Loupi is not any more there : he can be proud of his blog ! Good thing I was able to learn a little with him to be able to continue…

I take advantage of this particular day to share with you an exclusive information : I present you my sister by adoption Pixie ! She is 5 weeks old and still lives thus with her mom, but she can join me in the middle of June !
She’s cute, isn’t she ?
