It's Caturday!

Welcome back for another edition of Caturday, where we catch up on the week's latest cat news and get to know some of your amazing kitties!

As I'm typing this, I'm live on location (from my hotel room) at the annual Cat Writers' Association Conference in White Plains, NY! And the fun doesn't stop there! On Saturday, I'm heading to The Westchester Cat Show for another full day of cat related hijinks!

Now on to the news..

This week, we got in shape with Hello Kitty, reinvented the ugly cat sweater, marched in a Japanese cat parade, were feline fine in Lanvin, cured writer's block with kittens, and found out what cats really think of sandboxes.

Also, I shared more Catsparella exclusives with you than you could shake a stick at, including a peek inside the Crafting With Cat Hair Fur Cabinet, and your first look at the 2011 Fancy Feast Holiday Ornament, before you could find it anywhere else!

And finally, don't forget I have an awesome giveaway going on right now to win The Cat Ball, an innovative new cat bed for modern kitty lovers. The entries are piling up, so make sure you click HERE for your chance to win this cozy Christmas bed before I pick a lucky winner this Monday, 11/21!

Milan

This week's featured feline is a fluffy kitty who maintains her prettiness by getting tons and tons of beauty sleep! In fact, she's even the star of her own blog, dedicated to cats who spend all their free time snoozing (wait, are there any cats who DON'T do that?)

Jennifer writes:

"This is Milan, star of Sleeping Kitties. She is a 4 year old domestic short-haired cat that we adopted about a year ago. Milan spends her Caturdays napping all over the place which is why most of her pictures are of her sleeping!

I did manage to catch a couple of her awake, though. Her favorite places to sleep are the ones that are warm such as the cable box, however you can always find her on the bed. She is a big fan of Catsparella and particularly enjoys cat videos."

Why u so pretty?


What I plan on looking like in about 5 minutes, after only getting 2 hours of sleep last night

What a coincidence, Milan! I love sleeping in warm places and watching cat videos, too! We can totally be BFF :) Special thanks to Jennifer for sharing her beautiful ball of fur with us this week! Be sure to stop by her blog to say hello, and get in on even more comatose kitty action over at http://www.sleepingkitties.blogspot.com/.
