Awards

In the world of blogging, there are these nice awards that bloggers award to each other. We got our very first award from Cliff and Olivia, two lovely kitties living with their humans in an apartment in Copenhagen, Denmark. It's called the Proximity award and comes with this graphic: This award also comes with a quote:

This blog invests and believes the PROXIMITY - nearness in space, time and
relationships! These blogs are exceedingly charming. These kind bloggers aim to
find and be friends. They are not interested in prizes or self-aggrandizement.
Our hope is that when the ribbons of these prizes are cut, even more friendships
are propagated. Please give more attention to these writers! Deliver this award
to eight bloggers who must choose eight more and include this cleverly-written
text into the body of their award.

So according to this, i have to pass the award on to eight other bloggers. Cliff and Olivia very sensibly said that "most of our friends already got ... them. So we give them away regardless of whether the recipients have already got one. One can always use another award." And they also said that one could/should give it to eight more bloggers or just enjoy it. I like that...takes some of the stress off!

On the same day, the adorable Milo and little brother Alfie also gave us this wonderful "Lovely Friends" award. Isn't it appropriate for Valentine's Day?! And here's the text that came with this award (i think Milo and Alfie added the last sentence themselves...they are very clever and sensible kitties):

"LOVE YA” award winner… These blogs are exceedingly charming. These kind
bloggers aim to find and be friends. They are not interested in self-aggrandizement. Our hope is that when the ribbons of these prizes are cut, even more friendships are propagated. Please give more attention to these writers. Deliver this award to eight bloggers who must choose eight more and include this cleverly-written text into the body of their award - or if most friends have it, you can just enjoy it for yourself!

And then just yesterday, two of our most favorite kitties, Siena a stunningly beautiful Norwegian Forest Cat and her little sister Chilli a feisty multicolored beautiful kitten, gave us this itty-bitty award. Some of the pictures on their site of them cuddling together are just amazing, they are so sweet. It was their mom who helped me figure out how to post all these awards. The award Siena and Chilli gave has no strings attached, but it's so nice, it would be great to pass along to some friends.

Thank you all, that was very nice and i will gladly pass some of these awards forward!
