Good afternoon Felinity Assembled!
A new day dawns...
Or, as some of you more panicky types are probably reacting right now... MAY DAY! MAY DAY! Oh, MY Ceiling Cat! Meowsings header has changed! ;-D
Calm down, dip in some 'Nip to settle your nerves, and relax...everything is going to be fine, honest. ;-D
A lot has been happening around here, for well over a week, and I'm not just talking about, Elvira, and Total Saucepot With IMPRESSIVE "Curriculum Vitae" Woefully Behind in Contest, our video, my hairball monster being featured on People Pets, and Daddy Kiril being a Runner-Up in the Purina Cat Chow Correspondent Search.
Ann, of Zoolatry (Related links in the sidebar under her banner), is famous for the generosity she shows in using her creative talent to make badges, and banners for Cat Blogosphere bloggers.
Those things are AWESOME!
Daddy, & I, have been doing a lot of reading, and thinking, this month, and this combined with other things going on, led us, with Elvira Mistress of Felinity, and her eager Tortitude, to make a decision.
We needed a new header banner, and a badge that fans could display on their blogs, and websites, alongside a link to this blog.
We contacted Ann, and told her our idea, and asked her to use her boundless imagination, and that of her Kitty Girls, to flesh it out for us into something special, and distinctly identifiable with us, and our unique blog, different in so many ways from the rest of Pussydom Assembled.
She did not disappoint, not in the slightest.
A week of back & forth ensued as everything came together in the final, awesome header you now see.
Look it over carefully...you won't regret the effort, hee, hee! ;-D
Oh, and my EDITORIAL?
It's the initial entry in a long-term campaign that some of you are already familiar with...and for those of you who are not, well, read on:
Comments are encouraged on every single post in the series. ;-D
Once the banner was done Ann set about making the badge.
Daddy is a fan of Classic Hollywood era films of the 1930's to 1950's, including several films where journalism was a part of the plot and, as regulars know, often wears a Fedora.
The finished product, with added text, is in the sidebar, and we encourage you to grab it, and link back to us.
I have blogrolls galore, of various types, and am always looking for worthwhile sites to add.
Daddy, Elvira, & I, have all been doing things for the first time since he became unemployed, last August.
The world is changing, and we need fina ways to change with it, grow, and Poke the Box, as author Seth Godin calls it.
Curiosity can start us down the path to bringing things, news, ideas, and opinions to the world.
Curiosity may have killed more than a few Cats, over the centuries, but we Cats have 9 Lives to work with. ;-D
Daddy plans to attend Blog Paws in August, and I will soon be writing a post about the possiblity of maybe him getting Sponsored to finance the adventure, if anyone will take the chance on us.
We believe attending is the right thing for him, and this blog, as we move ahead.
Change has begun, here, and where it will lead is the 64,000 Treat Question.
Won't you join us for journey?

Wow, What a Day! Thank You, One, and All!
