This post is going up much later than usual because I have to make some congratulatory announcements and they cannot go up until the Awards have been officially announced.
I’ve known about the winners for a few weeks, as I had to schedule the posts myself as social media helper for the CWA, and keeping Janet’s win a secret was especially tough, especially when I was so excited for her, Tom, and the entire Kitties Blue crew.
To become eligible for a MUSE™ Medallion, each entry listed here has received an average score of at least 90, and has been awarded a Certificate of Excellence.
Cat Writers
We’ve had some amazing winners this year [on the link page all of the winners are clickable so you can enjoy some great articles], but two hold a special place in my heart.
There’s even some special news for Dash Kitten at the bottom of this post but please check out Kat’s and Janet’s blogs and give them a huge high-paw for their incredible accomplishments.

The Cat on my Head
Janet and the Kitties Blue have finally been rewarded for their hard work, brilliant sense of invention and total commitment to their wonderful blog at The Cat on my Head. (I also have a very soft spot for Sawyer and have re-read his tail in Purrseverance several times).
I am so thrilled for all of the Kitties Blue especially as Mom Janet is recovering from a major op. I hope this boosts her recovery.
MICHAEL BRIM DISTINGUISHED SERVICE AWARD WINNER
Katherine Kern
This is a very VERY Special Award.
Our friend Katherine Kern who with Ellie-Mae, Latte and Angel Bear runs the blog you all know as MommaKatandHerBearKat. If you have not met and laughed with Ellie-Mae and cheeky Latte’s antics head over to MommaKatandherBearKat right now!
- This great honour to a valued colleague is long overdue. We owe her so much.
After her considerable amount of hard work for the Cat Writers’ Association, Kat has stepped down. She worked so hard and will be terribly missed in the organisation but her beloved Ellie-Mae who is not well, and Latte, will take a front seat from now on.
and
Last but not least!
