My Poster Contest!

Guess what??? In honor of my Finding Month, my library is having a "We Love Our Library Cat" Poster Contest!


My library visitors are invited to make a poster celebrating my Awesomeness. You'll see that the poster lists four categories for entrants. . . but let me tell you a secret:

There's a category missing.

Do you know what it is?

You do?

You do!

Yes, YOU, my blogging friends, have your own special category! You're invited to enter my poster contest!

The rules for you are the same as for my customers, although you can, of course, submit your entries via email. Your poster can be made using any artistic media, include Photoshop or other computer programs (MS Paint is more my speed), and entries are due by November 2, 2011--so you have forEVER to work on your masterpieces!

The winner from my Blogging Buddies category will receive a little care package of presents from me and I will also donate $25 to the animal rescue/sanctuary/humane society etc. of your choice. Sound good?

You can submit your entries to csterle at thorntown dot lib dot in dot us, or you can mail them (I love mail, too) to Thorntown Public Library, 124 N Market St, Thorntown, IN 46071, ATTN Tober, Boss.

I am so excited I can hardly nap!

Ignored

Here is a picture of me being Ignored:


I do not like it when my Assistant Boss leaves my office for long periods of time and wanders around the building. She can be very difficult to find. I finally hunted her down and was waiting patiently for her to attend to me, but apparently she thought that what she was working on was more Important (it wasn't). I am Not A Fan of hardwood floors, either, so it was a very big thing for me to wait for her over there. (I eventually got treats and My Assistant Boss back in her place.)

I should clarify for my feline friends what my Finding Day is. My Finding Day is probably the same as your Gotcha Day. I use "Finding" because my Assistant Boss Karen found me that day. I think the word Finding is very Important, especially since I was lost until AB Karen (you guessed it!) found me.

(Karen also took me to live with woofies that day, but maybe I can get her to tell the story on October 19.)

So if, when the fantabulous 19th of October arrives, you would like to wish me a Happy Gotcha Day, you go right ahead!

I also have a Hire Date to celebrate in November. That is the day that I was Hired to work at the Thorntown Public Library. I have since taken command of the place, but I was just a lowly security watchcat/PR kitty when I was hired on November 3, 2009. I quickly worked my way to the top, and that's where I intend to stay.

Here is a picture of me supervising the Library from my desk:


Have happy weekends!

October is Here!

My month is here! Hooray! October is my Finding Month, and I think that the Library Staff should bring gifts to me every day this month to celebrate Assistant Boss Karen's luck in finding me (and wisdom in rescuing me)! What do you think?

It is not starting out well. I had to try way too hard to get treats this morning.

Here I am asking very politely for a treat (or 5 or 6):


Here I am pointing out the location of the treats to my Assistant Assistant Boss in case she forgot where she put them:


Here I am helping to pick up the treat can in order to hurry things along:


Here I have given up All Hope of getting any treats during the whole month of October. *sniff*


Before you worry about me too much or think that I have been neglected, I will tell you I did manage to get some treats out of a few of the Better-Trained Staff Ladies here. They have gone above and beyond the call of duty to make the beginning of my month very Special.

Happy October!
