Our certificate has arrived !

We’re very happy and proud to announce you that two months ago, the Cat Writers’ Association has awarded us a Certificate of Excellence for our article about the arrival of a baby in a family with already a cat (English version).

It’s finally arrived two weeks ago in our mailbox, right for Claire’s birthday !

The Cat Writers’ Association, Inc. (CWA) is a professional group composed of writers, bloggers, photographers, artists, and broadcasters, all passionate cat advocates.

We regularly share our daily routine with you, but we also work hard to publish one or two “serious” articles each year. We translate them ourselves from our mother tongue, French, which is why we’re very very proud of this distinction !

Cat Writers’ Association Certificate of Excellence : our work is awarded

The Cat Writers’ Association, Inc. (CWA) is an international journalism organization founded in 1992 to promote the interests of cats; to provide a medium for exchange of ideas, methods and professional courtesies; and to promote a high standard of ethics in the collection, creation, and dissemination of cat information. CWA is a dynamic professional group of passionate cat advocates composed of writers, bloggers, photographers, artists, and broadcasters. The Association promotes mentorship for new writers, provides writing/publishing educational opportunities, and seeks to improve the quality of cat information by recognizing and rewarding outstanding published work in its annual contest.

Standards are high : there are three judges for each category, and winning a certificate means that judges assign an average score of 90 or more to the work presented.

We regularly share our daily lives with you in short articles, but we also work hard to publish some “serious” educational articles every year ; our native language is French, and we translate ourselves our writings.

So we were particularly pleased and proud to announce you two weeks ago that the Cat Writers’ Association had awarded us a Certificate of Excellence for our article about pain in cat (English version), but we had not yet received it : it’s finally arrived on Wednesday in our mailbox !

We would like to be able to participate in the CWA’s annual conference, which is celebrating its 25th anniversary this year, but this is unfortunately not possible. Fortunately, we’ll be able to follow the reports of our CWA member friends on social networks.

Congratulations to all the Certificate winners !

Wonderful news and wonderful week

First of all, the news : we were pleasantly surprised to learn that we received a Certificate of Excellence from the Cat Writers’ Association for our article about pain in cat !

This is the first time Claire has dared to submit one of our articles to the CWA contest ; we are pleased and proud to see our efforts rewarded, and to find ourselves among famous and talented bloggers.

Then, what a week ! The sun shone every day, and we can say that spring has really arrived. Insects are shaking, trees are budding, and we’re enjoying the garden while Claire is cutting the raspberries.

What about you ? Already in spring, or still in winter ? Have a pawsome week !
