I wanna be a good socially 'sponsible kitty so I camed up with a project to raise money for Alley Cat Allies. It is going to be an ongoing project but I need many helps! The good news is, everyone can participates and they don't have to have any moneys! The moneys is going to come from advertisings. Also...the best participants are going to get my special medal!!!
As many of you knows, I sometimes review kitty products on my website because since usually our parent beans do their shopping FOR us, I would rather parent beans read the kitty opinion on stuff rather than the adult opinions!!! However, parent beans don't always want to take the time to read about a lot of reviews. Maybe they just want to go to the stores and buy the thing, we don't know since we don't go to the stores with them. Also, a lot of beans shop online. My beans don't let me shop online with their credit cards, if they did I would of course buy my own stuff. So I have to be patient with my beans. Many of you knows what I am talking about...
So I am going to create a series of Buying Guides to Kitty Stuff. They are going to be linked off my main bloggy and also off my reviews bloggy. Here is where I needs your helps... so far, I could not find any buying guides that is written by kittehs. Of course how can you trust buying guides written by beans?? They don't know the first thing about, for example, how the catnip toy feels in my mouth or whether my paws hurty from scratching on a scratchy post versus another post. There is no buying guide that 'splains the best position to lay on in a kitty bed. Beans don't think about things like that!!! That is why we need a kitty point of views.
So here's how its gonna work. Every two weeks I will post a topic on my site. The first topic is going to be Kitty Brushes. Then, you kitties can answer some of my questions or make up your own questions about, some kitty brushes you used, which you liked, which you didn't liked, and of course with photographs if you want to. You will then email me your responses to:
kittybloggy AT gmail.com
If you are lazy to email, you can leaves me a comment on the posting but then I don't thinks you can leave photos.
Then I will compiles a Buying Guide using the ideas of all the kittehs, and of course I will cite which kitteh said what if you want me to (especially for picshurs) so send me along with the informations which link you wants me to cite. (Unless you just says, My favorite product is X and then I will just count the number of kittehs who likes that guy.)
After I writes the buying guide, I will post ads corresponding to the products on there, that will makes moneys (so far I use adsense but I might have to figures out something betters.) The ads can be just something like the link to Amazon to buy the product.
FINALLY, everyone who participates can put up a kitty bloggy official reviewer badge on their page (you can see it on the top of my bloggy). Even if you only participates once or sometimes. Also - after we have raised $100 (that is my goal for right nows), I will check which blogger has always maked a review. From those bloggers I will check which posted a picshur with each review. Then I will make up a poll with the names of the kittehs and everyone on cat blogosphere (or anyone who visits my site) can vote for the best one. And that kitteh will get the special kitty bloggy 2 paws up charity reviewer medal!!! I didn't get my mamaw to make one yet but she will make it and it will look really cools.
5. Do you get a lot of hairs everywhere, like shedding and which brushes helps the bestest?

Good luck with your project! That sounds like a great idea.
Unfortunately, we don't use brushes, since we have no fur. Maybe we'll be able to help with a future topic.
Hi Veronica! We don't have whiskers either. :) We don't need them - we get along just fine without them, despite silly humans thinking cats need whiskers to navigate in the dark.
What a great idea, Veronica!
We have the standard el-cheapo brush at home, but I will be more than glad to review it for you! I'll get to working on that. Purrs!
This is a super idea Veronica! We'll do a review for you right away!
veronica, you are so smart and industrious. i have the bamboo cat slicker/bristle brush & combs (4 in 1 grooming set). i'll work on that review for you :)
my uncle frank will be taking care of me while momma's in tahoe. he's kinda mad at me b/c i peed in his bed, but i haven't done it in a long time!

WE ARE SO SORRY THAT WE DIDN'T GET TO ANSWER THIS EARLIER. We read about it on the cat blog. Mommy belongs to Alley Cat Allies.
Hi Veronica,
We didn't answer because we've never found a brush we could stand. So we really don't have an opinion on any of them. Once you have a part we know anything about, we'll be glad to review!
Purrrrrrrs,
the Hotties
Pyewacket is a siamese with very short hair.
Trixie is a tuxedo cat with lots of floof.
Tigger is a tortoishell with ordinary hair that matts up on her back in summer.
We have a blue Zoom Groom. Only Pyewacket likes it and she can't get Zoomed much or she would go bald. It's brilliant for getting the matts and floof off.
