			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>So, Liz is having this competition to <a href="http://lizosaurus.com/2011/09/win-a-ticket-to-problogger-training-day-2011/">win a ticket</a> to the sold out Problogger&#8217;s training event in Melbourne next month.</p>
<p>I had <strong>really</strong> wanted to go, but didn&#8217;t have the money at the time and couldn&#8217;t quite justify another trip to Melbourne. But I now have a <strong>SUPER</strong> exciting new project I am working on&#8230;it would be the perfect opportunity to share it with you all.</p>
<p>I never enter competitions, they always ask stupid questions. 25 words or less..be creative. I have run competitions where I get 100&#8242;s of entries of songs, poems and limericks. Pfft, I have no chance!</p>
<p>But when I saw Liz&#8217;s question I thought&#8230; cats..hmm, maybe I can do that. Then I got to thinking about some of the pictures I had, and giggling to myself just a little too much. I thought why not. At least I&#8217;ll have a post for Caturday.</p>
<p>So here is my entry, which is basically a collection of my most embarrassing cat pictures.</p>
<p>The competition question is&#8230;</p>
<p><strong>&#8220;Tell me how you would smuggle a cat and/or dinosaur into the ProBlogger Training Day.&#8221;</strong></p>
<p>Ok, so plan A is&#8230;. Disguise cats as babies, and smuggle them in a pram.</p>
<p>I have a cat pram, yes..I really do.  We can smuggle at least 3 cats in. Room for Train, if we leave Alex at home. And quite possibility a few smaller dinosaurs, maybe some stegosaurus?</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-5856" title="catpram" src="http://www.absoluteleigh.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/catpram.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="391" /></p>
<p>Dress them like babies. I&#8217;m pretty sure the ears would give them away, hide the ears&#8230;and it is like looking at a real baby!<br />
<img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-5853" title="cats1" src="http://www.absoluteleigh.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/cats11.jpg" alt="" width="599" height="329" /></p>
<p>Or, stick one in next to a real baby. People are for ever bullshiting &#8220;Oh wow, don&#8217; they look a like&#8221; Again, hide the ears, no one will know!</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-5859" title="catspram2" src="http://www.absoluteleigh.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/catspram2.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="232" /></p>
<p>Meezer&#8217;s meows often sounds very much like a small baby crying.</p>
<p>Allow Calais to demonstrate&#8230;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><object width="425" height="344" classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="src" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/No-tnsdPU7M&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1&amp;rel=0&amp;color1=0xcc2550&amp;color2=0xe87a9f" /><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><embed width="425" height="344" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/No-tnsdPU7M&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1&amp;rel=0&amp;color1=0xcc2550&amp;color2=0xe87a9f" allowFullScreen="true" allowfullscreen="true" /></object></p>
<p>Now, if that doesn&#8217;t work. Never fear..I have a plan B!</p>
<p>Drag queen bloggers!</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-5851" title="cars2" src="http://www.absoluteleigh.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/cars2.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="321" /></p>
<div>So there you have it. The place will be over run with cats!</div>

<p>You came into our lives by chance and totally stole our hearts. We went to the breeders for a Burmese, and came home with a screaming bundle of crazy meezer. The first of many, who knew how much you would change our lives.</p>
<p>Thank you. we love you. miss you too much already xx</p>

<p>We went to visit her this afternoon, and she is feeling a lot better. We could hear her from the front desk. She has been in full swing all afternoon. The vet nurse laughed and said they didn&#8217;t mind&#8230;but you could tell she was lying *hehe*</p>
<p>We opened the cage and she leapt onto manpet and was snuggling into his neck purring and happy feet. She actually put 2 holes in his shirt in her excitement.</p>
<p>She was none too pleased that we put her back in the cage, and started screaming and chewing at her bandage and IV. So we left the poor vet nurse to deal with her. (clicky through for embedded video)</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" width="400" height="300" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"><param name="flashvars" value="intl_lang=en-us&amp;photo_secret=cd42bd18bd&amp;photo_id=4227786866" /><param name="bgcolor" value="#000000" /><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="src" value="http://www.flickr.com/apps/video/stewart.swf?v=71377" /><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="400" height="300" src="http://www.flickr.com/apps/video/stewart.swf?v=71377" allowfullscreen="true" bgcolor="#000000" flashvars="intl_lang=en-us&amp;photo_secret=cd42bd18bd&amp;photo_id=4227786866"></embed></object></p>
<p>Hopefully she will be well enough to come home tomorrow. Even if we have to give her fluids at home, I don&#8217;t really like the idea of her staying on a public holiday.</p>
<p>We&#8217;re still not if she is out of the woods or if the fluids are just masking the problem. We&#8217;ll wait and see how she goes.</p>
<p>The boys are missing her terribly (gemini doesn&#8217;t seem too fussed LOL) there is a lot more room in the cat bed tho.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Everyone loves a freebie, and one of the added bonuses of feeding premium cat food is the cool freebies you often get with purchase. IAMS is one of the better companies, we have cat carriers for all, tunnels, tents, treat balls and all manner of tins and containers for storing the food.</p>
<p>Today when I went to get the cat food there was a cute little mouse house. Someone will love that I thought.</p>
<p>The meezers are a bit like children (well, maybe a lot) If someone has something, they all want it. And so started the war of the mouse house that.</p>
<p>Calais claimed it first, as soon as I took it out of the packet he was in there.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a title="Mouse house by crazy meezer, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/crazymeezer/3861878556/"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3481/3861878556_a974f32731.jpg" alt="Mouse house" width="500" height="375" /></a></p>
<p>Gemini came a long soon after and wanted in on the action. Calais how ever was not at all interested in sharing. Much biffo followed and she jumped out..only to return 2mins later for another try and repeat x10. (she is a bit slow)</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a title="Mouse house by crazy meezer, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/crazymeezer/3861879156/"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3514/3861879156_c3159e6212.jpg" alt="Mouse house" width="500" height="375" /></a></p>
<p>Stasia came along and claimed the prime spot at the sunny entrance, there is no arguing or saying no to her&#8230;just move over.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a title="Mouse house by crazy meezer, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/crazymeezer/3861879814/"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3512/3861879814_b931767fcd.jpg" alt="Mouse house" width="500" height="375" /></a></p>
<p>Gemini had some luck on the 11th try, he gave up and moved over again, there is certainly no arguing with 2 girls.</p>
<p>Alex, not one to be left out..&#8221;knock knock..is there room for one more?&#8221;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a title="Mouse house by crazy meezer, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/crazymeezer/3861094277/"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3549/3861094277_c906d64b60.jpg" alt="Mouse house" width="500" height="375" /></a></p>
<p>Quiet for a few minutes, till someone moves and it all starts again.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a title="Mouse house by crazy meezer, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/crazymeezer/3861095045/"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3510/3861095045_a5978f632b.jpg" alt="Mouse house" width="500" height="375" /></a></p>
