Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / September 2005OMG! I WON!!!!
And I didn't even know I'd entered LOL No, this isn't one of those lottery scam emails or something from Nigeria. UPS just knocked on my door with an envelope for me to sign for. Uh, okay. What the heck is this? I open it up, there is an envelope addressed to *Persia*. "Hi from your friends at Hill's Pet Nutrition, You are a big loser! We have determined you are the big loser for July and as such, you've won a year's supply of FREE Hill's Science Diet or Prescription Diet pet food!" They enclosed 12 vouchers for up to twelve 20 lb bags of free Rx food! OMG! This letter is so cute, too... addressed to Persia... it says they included 12 vouchers for Jill so "you'll be getting those tasty kibbles faster than you can climb curtains!" It also tells her to bask in the warmth of a sunbeam knowing she will be well fed for free for a year. Wowwww!

Helen M That's great Jill&Persia, maybe Persia was online while you slept and entered ;o) Suz&Spicey I wouldn't be surprised. Persia's no fool. =o) Concatulations to you both, although I think Persia will get the maximum enjoyment from this particular win. =o) But free food is NEVER a bad thing!

Lisa or Karen (at the vet's office) did it for me. They love Persia and they know what sort of food she has to eat since I order food from them :) When I called to make sure they'd take the vouchers, Lisa said, "Sure we will! Not like we're paying for the food. Now wouldn't it be funny if the same thing happened for Peaches?" Hmmmm. :D But they aren't avian vets (they just board her) and Peaches is not on a diet. Damn, give her a gala apple or a carrot or a handful of greens and she goes to town! Don't know where I could get a years supply of Gala apples!

Did I do something?" I suspect it was Karen or Lisa at the vet who did this :) They both adore Persia and when I called to ask if they would honor the coupons (YES!) Lisa asked, "Wouldn't it be funny if Peaches got something like that?" LOL They are not avian vets - Peaches has her own vet - but they board her when I travel and they love her. They play music for her :) Jill > Christine >> And I didn't even know I'd entered LOL No, this isn't one of those [quoted text clipped - 16 lines] >> -- >> The person who rows the boat seldom has time to rock it Congrats!

I was just thinking this morning that he's looking skinnier to me. He's not on a diet, so I hope he's not losing weight for bad reasons. I'll have to weigh him later on, but I don't have a very accurate scale for small weights, just my hoomin scale. He's been pretty much stable at 12 lbs all his adult life. I think it must be the fur. Orange sherbet, LOL! He's not really short haired. I guess he's medium haired and it's very fluffy. -- Britta "There is no snooze button on a cat who wants breakfast." -- Unknown Check out pictures of Vino at: http://photos.yahoo.com/badwilson click on the Vino album >> And I didn't even know I'd entered LOL No, this isn't one of those >> lottery scam emails or something from Nigeria.

Loser takes the cake :) The letter says, "Stretch out your paws and take a deep breath... You won a year's supply of Hill's Science Rx diet food! That's right, you were chosen as July's loser of the month! We've enclosed the vouchers for Jill so you'll be getting those tasty kibbles faster than you can climb curtains. Now go ahead and bask in the warmth of a sunbeam. After all, you're the cats meow now!" Jill That prize sure came to the right address! I remember it's been hard for you to get the expensive rx food for Persia, and now you get it free! I'm happy for you!

I would have to redeem the certificates and give most of the food away; it takes Kenzie about 6 months to go through a 20 lb. bag of food. She's on a perpetual diet, but after years of different kinds of food, I finally got her weight from 13 lbs. down to 10.5 lbs, which TED say is 'perfect' for her bone structure and frame size. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ "Life without cats would be only marginally worth living." -TC, and the unmercifully, relentlessly, sweet calico kitty, Kenzie.

OMG! I'm so glad. Miss Persia won't have to worry about her kibbles for a long time. Pam S. who's cats think that Persia is a lucky girl too Miss Persia, I'm so jellus! You gots free goodies for a hole yeer? Mmmmmm. Concatulations. Mistletoe >And I didn't even know I'd entered LOL No, this isn't one of those lottery >scam emails or something from Nigeria. UPS just knocked on my door with an [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] >you can climb curtains!" It also tells her to bask in the warmth of a >sunbeam knowing she will be well fed for free for a year. Wowwww! First, I told my kitties that Persia had been very lucky and won lots of bags of cat food. They were very excited and happy for her, and send their congratulations. Then they wanted to know how she won all the cat food; maybe they could win some. So I explained that Persia had won because she lost weight. At this point, Will was nodding judiciously, but I could see that Heidi was getting anxious. (There's a d-word that we don't say in her hearing -- and it's not "dog".) She wanted to know if now, since Persia has *got* lots and lots of kibbles, can she *eat* lots and lots of kibbles. I had to admit that, sadly, it doesn't work that way; Persia still needs to keep her weight down, so her kibbles would probably still be restricted. Poor Heidi paced the floor, shaking her head in confusion and consternation. Eat less kibbles, win lots of kibbles, still eat less kibbles? Only humans could think up something so nonsensical. Still, if Persia had lots of kibbles and wasn't allowed to eat much, maybe I could write and ask her to send half of her kibbles to Heidi. I said our supply of kibbles was adequate, and even if we had lots of kibbles, I wouldn't let her eat all she wants, because I want her to lose some weight. Then she asked, since I haven't been letting her eat all the kibbles she would like to, did that mean she was going to win lots of kibbles? Uh, well, er...No. I had to confess that I hadn't even entered her in any kibble-prize contest. So now she's mad. Thanks a lot, Jill. SignatureWayne M (indulged by Will and Heidi, who thinks "lots of kibbles" should *mean* "lots of kibbles") >> And I didn't even know I'd entered LOL >> *Persia*.

This is not low-fat kibble; it's prescription food. She has to eat Hill's x/d since her bladder surgery in 2004 due to a tumor bladder stones. She's probably lost 2 lbs since we put her on a 1/2 cup a day diet, but she's still very "fluffy" :) But she's my fluffy girl! > Poor Heidi paced the floor, shaking her head in confusion and > consternation.
