Today’s selfie is one I am very proud of. Not only is it a member of the Dash Kitten Crew
BUT……..
Toulouse will travel the world as a birthday card to greet Cat Writers’ Association (CWA) members. How thrilling is this?
How did this come about? Late last year I was contacted by Deb Barnes, who is not only a talented blogger at Zee & Zoey but also Outreach Chair with the CWA. She asked me if I would like to be featured on the annual Birthday card sent out to members.
Yes I would!!! (Can you imagine the excitement!).
An image was chosen; tweaks were made and, below; you see the lovely card Deb created featuring my photograph of Toulouse.
I know you will love it as much as I do!
Don’t forget our celebratory giveaway featuring Harvey’s story.
The image of Toulouse is one of my favourites and also one of the first I took using the lens I purchased with prize money from the 2019 Kuykendall Image Award.
What a selfie and when my own card arrved for MY birthday I was so thrilled!

Since I no longer have kitties….well, you know…sigh…my sister tells me I should make a book of some of the things our furry ones have done over the years…maybe if and when I retire!! She especially was touched and moved to tears when she read about Minko’s last hours…way back in 2017…on Father’s Day of all things.
Concatulations on your special purrize, Toulouse and Marjorie🎉Well deserved! Double Pawkisses for a Happy Week ahead🐾😽💞
Congratulations to Toulouse!
It’s fun to write about my cats and other cats I care for, but it’s only for fun. I’d like to learn to really write someday, a Cat Writer’s Association sounds like a fabulous group.
Wow! What a well-deserved thrill! Congratulations to you and Toulouse!

Toulouse makes for a beautiful birthday card.
That is quite an honour in deed. Bravo! Alas, the two books I have written/collaborated on are both still awaiting publication. Maybe next year I can enter the CWA awards?
