CHARITY BEGINS AT HOME

27/8/2014

0 Comments

 
On American Independence Day the Parentals found the Charity Litter and eight weeks later they were re-homed to four amazing families who will give them all the very best chance in life.  There really was a kitten for everyone and each one was a meeting of fate.

Momma had taken three kittens into the BBC Local radio station and everyone had oohed and ahhed at them and one lady 'just popping through' from her morning shift as a producer, set eyes upon tiny Tortee and instantly said, "We have been talking about getting a cat for our daughter, I will be in touch." And in touch she was, Vanessa came and met Tortee again and also fell in love with her Mum Hope. She said that her 5yr old had always wanted a cat called Poppy and that Meg would suit Mum.  So that was it. Perfect home in a calm and loving environment with gentle people and a real family for the two young cats to settle into, their home is so large, we hope they don't get lost!

Agnes and her family were strolling through the Pet Show at Stoneleigh where Faith and Lillibet were on show and asked about the Charity Litter from a poster that was displayed and immediately they selected Ginge and said "Could we come and visit?" It was love at first sight and Ginge just loved the children, all the other kittens just hid away.  He was meant to be homed with his brother Fly, but little fly was having none of it... his home was waiting just a week away and he must have felt it in his whiskers!  Ginge just walked into his new home, ate the other cats lunch and declared it home!

After advertising them for the first time, we had a phone call about the big boys, Trout & Paws. The incredible duo who just loved each other so much - always washing and playing together and what could be more perfect than a delightful family with two young boys of the same gentle nature as Paws & Trout!  They were finally named Albie & Jango which really suits them both and we hear that they are now settled in well after a traumatic day when the Parentals delivered them of Jango hiding under the sofa!  He is now out and about and both boys are enjoying play time and fuss.  They will make such lovely big cats.

And finally, little man Fly, the tiniest and sweetest kitten of the litter. He was also a terror and VERY independent. Although when people came to view him, he hid away and Momma wasn't happy and therefore he didn't go to that home, but when Ken and Mazi turned up, he showed them a little of what he was like. He is a real peoples cat and likes his humans to be quiet and gentle and this retired couple just floated his boat. He is now keeping both of them on their toes and running rings around them and up to no good! The second he walked into their plush carpeted home, he said, "Oh yes.. this will do very nicely, thank you." It was a match made in heaven.

It takes a considerable amount of time and patience to bring up young cats, make them sociable and the last 8 weeks have been up and down and if it hadn't been for the people on social networking and cat clubs and vets and sheer will power on the Parentals part, they wouldn't be here today, in their new homes, safely delivered with toys and litter and food.  It was a little miracle that they all fought so hard to live and each family is so thrilled with their new babies and the Maystar Gang is thrilled for them and a little sad to lose such well adjusted and gentle babies.

The House of Fun is quiet. It lays empty once more. No thundering of tiny paws, no one to greet you on a cold morning and no one staring at you from across the CatPods. It sure is weird and Faith is saddened that she didn't even get to play with them, but Momma is a stickler for hygiene and they were barrier nursed the whole 8 weeks of their stay. It's all because of me and my lack of immune system!  

But... do I hear rumbling of a newby? Watch this space!

LilliLongLegs Branding

7/4/2014

1 Comment

 
Today, Momma took some of the LilliLongLegs Branded Bugs & Beans to a local show where she met up with Roy & Nicola Lovell from Crystal Clear Pet Products who have very kindly taken on the brand for their huge mobile stall.

This hardworking couple are big supporters of new businesses and like the unique and the different and get just as excited about Lillibet's product as she does.  We are very happy that the Crystal Clear team will be the sole providers of LilliLongLegs products in the arena of cat shows as this year, Maystar Design is growing in other directions and we can't be in two places at once and with these guys behind us we are feeling a good buzz.

Lillibet would also like to announce that there will be some new products winging their way from Rita's organic Catnip Farm in Kentucky and they are at final design stages now. Always with a play on words, the new toys should fill the gap that the bugs and beans don't fill and some will come with crinkle paper inside and some will have a bell.  It's exciting times at Maystar Design and the LilliLongLegs brand is in the process of being Trade Marked because we don't want any copycats, do we!

LilliLongLegs Mad

Lillibet is a tad excited today, Momma has got her finger out and is sorting promotion and packaging of Lillibets new toys range! The LilliLongLegs Brand is proving a big hit and there are a few small orders already in the pipeline.

Lillibet is looking forward to her photo shoot with her toys and they will be in the Maystar Shop ready for purchase very soon as well as at a well known pet retailer on the 'cat show show circuit'.

We have all been introduced to the 'gang' and there will be something for everyone! I particularly partial to the Aphid, he is doing all the right things for me.  Faith is a Centipede girl and Lillibet, of course is bean mad!

You can choose from Bag 'O' Bugs or the Three Bean Salad for your own kitties. These are just starter toys, there are a few more ideas in the pipeline to keep your own felines happy. 


Come and meet the 'Gang' - There is Wormie, Centipede, Flutterby, Beetle, LadyBug & Aphid and not forgetting Lillibets special Green Beans! All made from Eco Felt and filled with Organic Kentucky Catnip!

I am off for a bit more product testing...

Pending

The adjective 'pending' describes a lot about life at the moment. There are so many things I have to get done and so little time. Like sleep & eat.  But, it seems that Lillibet has her own pending to be done, she is awaiting a package that will launch her new venture of 'Felt Cat Toys'.  I always wanted my own range of toys and indeed, I did have one, a lovely feather filled pillow with my logo on and me wearing my crown and it was filled with crinkly paper and catnip. But, well, to be truthful, Momma doesn't have time to sew. My products were launched and never followed through because they were fiddly. I need a specialist! 

Lillibet on the other paw, doesn't have to rely on Momma, only for the packaging! Much easier!  She was meant to have a little launch party at a local show in Northampton in a few weeks, but she had that reaction to her vaccine and them promptly stole 3 zipper tapes from the bin, so that put an end to her leaving the house whilst Momma locates them in the chocolate gold!

Her little products will be based on things she loves!  Of course the very first thing on her list is GREEN BEANS!  They will be packaged as 'LilliLongLegs Three Bean Salad' - perhaps none of you really know that her pet name at home is actually 'Bitty bean' - It derived from her being 'in-call' and we said she had 'Lilli-bits' when her nipples grew into little hormonal lumps.  Well, the bitty bit stuck (think of Little Britain) and from there on she gets called Bitty most of the time. The beans, most of you know about, she is crazy mad for green beans - or really their strings!  So a three bean salad it has to be!!!

Her other collection is a collection of 6 felted bugs. These are brightly coloured and very flat with cute details.  There will be a worm, a butterfly, a beetle, an aphid, a centipede and a ladybug. These will form part of her 'Bag O Bugs' and then later there will be a 'Gone Fishing' set of creatures on recycled wooden poles. It is quite the adventure and already her logo is designed and the bugs and beans are winging their way from Kentucky! I know, all those air miles, but they are recycled products and organic catnip, so we are doing our bit for the environment and Momma said if she has these newly designed products, they have to be from a small business and NOT a sweat shop. The lady who has made the designs come alive is just a genius!

For now, Lillibet is playing with the prototypes that arrived at Xmas and her and Faith are trying them out for ware and tare.  So far, they are lasting well.  Don't tell anyone, but I love my 'pillows' much more than felted bugs! Herrumph

Watch this space for LilliLongLegs creations.  I for one am insanely jealous.

RED CARPET TREATMENT:-
My day started like any other, wake up, Yawp, stretch, Yawp, eat my noms, use the cat tray and head back to bed!

But what's this? A bath, some glycerin in my ears, extra sparkle placed in my eyes and my studded collar.... Ooooh, this means I am off out somewhere special and that reminds me of a phone call I got not a week before, asking if I would like to appear on the Vic Minett BBC radio show.  of course, I said, I don't wish to upset my adoring public now do I?

So, this was the day then. I was back combed and greased, nails glossed and tail poofed. Gosh, I am handsome! I was whisked into a fur line carrier with a heated base and driven through town to my destination, BBC Coventry & Warwickshire. I was presented at reception to a small crowd of cooing ladies and I became all bashful at first to get their attention. Then I became brave and ventured out on to my own little red carpet (well, OK a red sofa) and strutted my stuff.  I was then taken to meet producer Sally, who asked lots of questions about me and said I could pretty much do whatever I wanted in Vic's studio.  Then my big moment came, I was in there meeting Vic!  I don't know who was more star struck, her or me? 

Well, I took center stage and pranced about on the desks and weaved in amongst the monitors and microphones. I yawped in a couple but only one of them worked, so I made my way back to that one.  Vic said I looked like Hitler with my 'tosh'!  Well, I suppose we do have conquering the World in common.  She asked me a lot of purrsonal questions about my bum fluff and my lady friends as well as my breeding and show quality.  I took it all in my stride and Yawped out a few answers.  At one point, when Momma was speaking (which in my opinion she did an awful lot off!) I managed to do a quick step along the desk and miss judged the end and collapsed in a heap on the floor.  But I bounced back with a happy grin and carried on bounding about the place!

When I was leaving, Vic asked to have her picture taken with me (really it was me wanting one with Vic) I lay in her arms like a baby and schmoozed with her just a little for her to soften to my nakedness and then I was off exploring again... Well, Vic keeps talking of pigeons fighting in the streets on her shows so i was off to see if I could take one home as a souvenir.  Mmmm, I really am a Stud Muffin.  

If you fancy listening to Momma waffle on about me, 25th Anniversary Cat Shows and crazy Cat People... and hear me fall off the desk and try and communicate with the outside world...knock your selves out!
