Nose-to-Nose Nagging

Did you know I have never been a finalist in the BlogPaws Nose-to-Nose Awards? I am shocked too, and I hope things are different this year!

There are 12 categories, and I hope you will consider nominating me for the following:

Best Cat Blog

Best Humor Blog

Best Blog Post

Best Pet Blog Photo

To nominate me for these categories, you will need the following information:

Blog’s Homepage (link): http://www.sparklecat.com

Contact Name for Blog Owner: Sparkle Cat

Contact email for Blog Owner: sparkle AT sparklecat DOT com (of course, with the @ and . instead of the words)

Facebook Page of nominee: https://www.facebook.com/sparklecatfans

Twitter account of nominee: https://twitter.com/sparklecat

For Best Cat Blog, you just need the info above.

For Best Humor Blog, they want a “Direct Link to a Blog Post that best exemplifies this author’s style, creativity, and humor so that our judges don’t have to go searching!” So here are some you can use:

• What If There was Perfume for Cats? (http://www.sparklecat.com/special/wha...)

• Five Kinds of Guests, and How to Treat Them (http://www.sparklecat.com/special/fiv...)

• Author Is Wrong: Humans, We Know You Are Not Cats! (http://www.sparklecat.com/special/aut...)

• Anar-Kitty in the USA (http://www.sparklecat.com/diary/anar-...)

I have lots of Blog Posts to choose from for Best Blog Post (you of course have to supply a link to the post). Here are my own favorites:

• 5 Things Senior Kitties Can Teach Humans (http://www.sparklecat.com/special/5-t...)

• Twenty Years Ago Today (http://www.sparklecat.com/special/twe...)

• How to Pick the Right Human (http://www.sparklecat.com/special/how...)

• 10 Ways Humans Benefit by Adopting Cats (http://www.sparklecat.com/special/10-...)

For Best Pet Blog Photo, you have to supply a link to the photograph. I have so many photos, it was hard to find the ones I thought were really good. Here are the ones you could nominate:

From Wordless Wednesday: (Mostly) Black and White (http://www.sparklecat.com/diary/wordl...)

From Caturday Art: The By-Hand Edition (http://www.sparklecat.com/diary/catur...)

Wordless Wednesday: Peaceful (http://www.sparklecat.com/diary/wordl...)

From Tortie Poseur Thursday (http://www.sparklecat.com/diary/torti...)

Don’t worry about playing favorites — you can nominate the other kitties who have great blogs too! Nominations are open until February 12, 2014.

The Best part of the BlogPaws Nose-to-Nose Awards is that I only need to nag you about nominating me once! After that, they pick the finalists from the nominations themselves. I don’t have to stump for votes and I can go back to blogging as usual!

Thanks for the nominations, and I hope you enjoyed seeing some of my best blog posts of the past year again!
