Every cat deserves his or her day in the sun!! Bring on the weird and it could happen for yours!<\/p><\/div>\n

If cats live seven years to our one, does that mean when it comes to their 15 minutes of fame, they actually get 105? I ponder weird things like that, which is probably why I\u2019m so excited about my upcoming book about the weird, strange, and silly habits\/behaviors of cats, along with the weird, strange, and silly habits\/behaviors of the humans who love them. If you\u2019d like your cat to have his or her 105 minutes of fame, this is the last chance to submit entries for possible consideration in the book!<\/p>\n

Thus far the submissions have been great \u2013 thank you – you\u2019ve really given me lots of laughs and smiles and I’m loving the participation! Everyone has shared something different, but the one thing all the entries have in common is that we clearly love cats!<\/p>\n

So don\u2019t delay \u2013 put on those thinking cats and start typing! I\u2019m not looking for a novel from you \u2013 just a few sentences or a brief paragraph will suffice. And don\u2019t worry if you don\u2019t think you\u2019re a good writer \u2013 I\u2019m going to edit your piece to fit within the framework of the book, so I\u2019m honestly not asking for anything too taxing or complicated! If you\u2019re scratching your head, wondering just what types of things to submit, here\u2019s some suggestions for you:<\/p>\n

1.<\/strong><\/span> Weird eating habits \u2013 will your cat only eat in certain places, or do they like certain odd foods, or do they steal food from your plate, pantry, or somewhere else? Do they only eat out of a certain bowl or do you have to go through weird steps to prepare their food?<\/p>\n

2<\/span>.<\/strong> Funny cat in box stories \u2013 what is the craziest box your cat has tried to climb into? Will your cat only play with boxes, but not cat toys? Do you keep boxes in your house because you don\u2019t want to upset your cat by throwing them away?<\/p>\n

3.<\/strong><\/span> Toys, toys, toys \u2013 what weird toys does your cat like to play with \u2013 do they bring you gifts, play fetch, bury toys, hide toys, etc.<\/p>\n

4.<\/strong><\/span> Sleeping arrangements \u2013 does your cat hog your bed, sleep on everything and anything but cat specific products? Do they sleep in the sink, or in the bathtub, or on your head?<\/p>\n

5.<\/strong><\/span> Bizarre litter habits \u2013 does your cat think outside of the box, literally.<\/p>\n

6.<\/strong><\/span> Crazy stories about trying to bring your cat to the vet, or trying to bathe your cat, or give them medication.<\/p>\n

7.<\/strong><\/span> Spooky stuff \u2013 does your cat zoom from room to room, or does he act like he\u2019s seen a ghost, or does he jump on your back out of nowhere.<\/p>\n

8.<\/strong><\/span> Does your cat hide in weird places? Can he open drawers or doors?<\/p>\n

9.<\/strong><\/span> Is your cat an alarm clock \u2013 what creative ways does he use to wake you up?<\/p>\n

10.<\/strong><\/span> Is your cat loving to some people or family members, but not others? Does he like other animals – such as dogs\u00a0or birds and do crazy things with\u00a0them?<\/p>\n

And don\u2019t forget, I\u2019m looking at all the oddball stuff you as a human do for the love of a cat. Do you have a rescue story, or a story involving TNR where you thought people might think you were crazy for the lengths you went to capture the cat. Do you sing to your cat, or do you take pictures of your cat in clothes for holiday cards? Or what about weird nicknames \u2013 do you have them for your cat?<\/p>\n

\"Deb-and-Mia\"<\/a>

Yes… I let my cat sleep on my head after I get out of the shower. She likes it… so what other choice to I have? I think you catch my drift now, when I say “the weird things humans do for the love of their cats.”<\/p><\/div>\n

I think you get the idea\u2026 Please send your submissions to info@zzppublishing.com <\/a>by Friday, June 3. Thanks again and Happy Caturday!!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
