Hi efurrybody!

Sorry to everyone if you were hoping to know the results sooner but good luck to anyone who still wants to enter!

The Great Percy Toe Raffle

*SCROLL DOWN FOR NEW POSTS!*

With dad going back to school, my family is having a hard time coming up with the money for my cancer surgery. So, my wonderful grandma made me four fleece blankets. When they first came I was so excited because I thought they were all for me and I could sleep on them in every room, but the note said they were to raffle off to earn money for my surgery. I have to admit, I'm not excited about my surgery, but it sure was nice of grandma to think of me.

My brofur and sisfurs helped me model the blankets. I thought I would begin by showing you what my foot will look like after my surgery so you can better visualize my goal:


First up, the blanket we call the Eliot, because it has a blue backing that is his favorite color:



This blanket will be raffled off individually for $2 per chance.

Next is my purrsonal favorite, a little gem we like the call the Percy, because it has an orange back just like me!



This beauty could be yours for just $2 per chance!

Next up, a treat for all you pink loving cats - a blanket we have dubbed Emily, because she's a girl and pink is her signature color:



This one can be yours again for just $2 per chance.

Next we have a blanket we like to call Abbie, because she has enough energy to be considered two cats: the double-cat-sized version of the pink backing blanket:



This blanket, perfect for any multi-cat household, can be yours for just $3 per chance.

But that's not all, we also set up some value packs for cats interested in more than one cat blanket.

Our first set we call the Brofurs, this includes having your name entered to win both the blue and orange backed blankets, two raffles for just $3:

Here's Abbie modeling the Brofurs blankets:

And for just $4, you can be entered for the Sisfurs - where you name will be entered in both drawings for the pink backed blankets:

And for our mega deal - go for the Cat Stephens - where for just $6 you'll be entered in the drawing for each blanket!

And just to show you how cat friendly these blankets are, here are all the Cat Stephens modeling all the blankets!

Eliot, Emily and Percy wanted to show you just how comfy and warm they are to lay on.


All blankets went through extensive quality control that was snoopervised by yours truly:

Percy Update

Hi efurrybody, Percy here. Just wanted to keep you updated on how I'm doing. My weight is doing a lot better since Mom and Dad switched me to a new kitty food that I really like. I eat food now... lots. Not throwing up any either. While I'm not looking forward to losing my toe (oh no!), I am planning to have the surgery by October to remove the toe and hopefully stop worrying about the cancer for good.

Dad is going to be starting school soon to learn how to make computers do things, but he is going to have to quit working where he's at now in order to do that. Mom and dad were worried about the expenses for my surgery, so I told them to just not worry about it and I would keep my toe. But Grandma said she was going to make me some blankets and we could raffle them off and hopefully raise some money to save up for the surgery that way. Gee thanks, Grandma. We will have pictures of the blankets and raffle details next Sunday.

That's all for now. Right now things are looking better than they have. I'm still a little scrawny (for me).

Purrs,

Percy

Updates

Hi Guys,

It's me, Eliot. I'm here to update you on my brofur. First please excuse the mess behind me, we moved to a house recently and we love it! Windows galore and we can sit in them as much as we want - it's pawsome. We'll have more pics soon I promise. Grandma and Grandpa were here to help us move - and mom and dad have been super busy at work. We're hoping things will slow down the middle of next month.

Well, the Percy situation isn't good, but it might not be bad. He's going to see a new regular vet (not his cancer surgery vet) this Friday. Since his surgery in April he's lost 4.5 pounds. Mom got a good glimpse of him the other day and just started crying because he was so thin. I can't even call him fat boy anymore. The good news is the vet that will do his surgery in October really doesn't think it's cancer related. On Friday they will probably steal his bloods to learn more. The bright side is that dad thinks he maybe just didn't like his food. We got a sample bag of Purina Naturals and while mom was packing up our room to move Percy got in and ripped the bag open. He's very interested in food still, he just stopped eating so much of his. The more bad news is he has been barfing a lot lately - it's gross, but he has always been a little barfy because he inhales his food. Mom and dad went and bought a big bag of the Purina and Percy has been eating more. He isn't acting sick - he's more playful than ever. Dad is hoping that maybe he was sick of his old food and was suddenly more active and maybe that caused him to drop the pounds - better safe than sorry though.

We will keep you guys posted but for now I need to go snuggle with my brofur. Thanks for all your well wishes.

Purrs,
Eliot

We're still sad...

Our furry hearts are broken after losing you and mom won't stop hugging us!

On a brighter note - HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOM ML!!! Thanks for all you do for the blogosphere.

Purrs,
Emily, Abbie Eliot and Percy

PS. Thanks Ann from Zoolatry for the nifty graphics!
