Missy picks a winner! (Old Possum’s Book of Practical Cats giveaway)

A couple of weeks ago, I put up my very first giveaway: a copy of Old Possum’s Book of Practical Cats.
I enjoyed the book immensely both as a cat lover and a reader, so I decided to give my extra copy away.
And now, read about the rigorous drawing process (haha!) and the results!

I wanted my cat Missy to choose the winner so I wrote out all the names on sticky notes and tried to see if Missy would pounce on any of them, but alas, she didn’t seem to be in the mood…
So I stuffed the entries in a bag of catnip and shook it around:

… And when I sprinkle the entries on the floor, she goes crazy!

Missy closes in on one entry:


And with some difficulty I managed to retrieve the winning entry before she could chew it up:

Congratulations to Mozi Esme’s Mommy, for being personally (cattily?) selected by Missy to win a copy of Old Possum’s book for Practical Cats! I will get in touch with you to get your mailing address.
To all those who joined my very first giveaway, I wish I had a dozen copies to give away as I truly appreciated your cat stories! May all your cats live long and bring you more happiness
Until the next cat book giveaway!

Missy could be my neighbours sister. I have a white cat living next door.
