Did anyone think about making the best of
ReplyDeletethis blog into a book? The best of this blog is all of it, so it could be hard to choose what should be included. The photos alone are fabulous!! And Cat Books sell!!!!
Something to think about!
CC - booghs, yes, gracias! Bod the Wooman ees beesy weeth two booghs y they taghe a larng, larng time y maghe berber' leedle morney. ^^
ReplyDeleteYou could make the best of your blog into a Kindle e-book and sell it on amazon.com. Or you could write other e-books: "The Weet & Weesdom ob Estorbo" might be a big seller.
ReplyDeleteEstorbo-san, ai yam made a donation, but it bettur get to the wooman por medicines. You bettur not be eatin catviar an lappin up champain insted of your peells an pelleds. Get well soon!
ReplyDeleteWhat Spikey said.
ReplyDeleteMedicines, peach yogurt, organic chicken necks, pelleds: okay. Señor Coconut CDs, partywares, explosives: not okay.
Miss you buddy.
Estorbo, you maybe should change your piggy bank to a "chip-in" instead of "donation". Paypal has been giving some bloggers trouble for using the donate button if they are not a "registered nonprofit". It happened to some other catbloggers who were raising money for vet bills. Seems stupid, but there you are.
ReplyDeleteOh Estorbo! My hart gose oud to yew, de Wooman, an de Smoothman. I as' my moother for some doe.
ReplyDeletePurrs and head-buts fram Mizzouri!
Wooman-Comments:
ReplyDeleteSpikey-mama - don't worry. We can't really remember the last time caviar passed our lips, let alone French bubbles... And thank you!
Becky - could Antonia Banderas be Estorbo's boice?
John - we promise. And thank you! Maybe just a small fire cracker?
Anonymous - could you give me a link to one of the bloggers who had trouble (if you can remember who they were)? Thanks for the tip.
Lanie, thanks for the good wishes.
Estorbo will be sending personal thank yous as soon as he can figure out his signature.
Storbie, I still miss you and the late night conversations we had.
ReplyDeleteYou gave me some good ideas.
So...how about the calendar featuring 12 images of your handsome self? The small notebook, again with photos.
Jajaja...I know you'd have to get a fancy-dancy printer for good colours, but some of the deals offered through Flickr, Picasa, Zazzle are not too shabby.
I'll email you.Or maybe your wooman.
Dear Estorbo, I will be berber happy to help you because you bring me joy from your blog. Some of us are the keepers of the animals on Earth and we do our best to see that they are okay. It is okay to ask, Amigo:-) But please, no photos of you on the rooftop with a tin cup. That would be too difficult to see;-)
ReplyDeleteEstorbo. If the wooman can't manage a book just now, how about a range of postcards/notebooks/calendars/greeting cards etc for the time being? :)
ReplyDeleteSimon's Cat is excellent - something along those lines mebbee??
ReplyDeletere Paypal. you can read the saga on this blog starting Nov 21st:
ReplyDeletehttp://www.margsanimals.com/blogs/index.php/margspets/mycats/mancat-monday-31
Funds came from an auction held on their behalf. Sure she would be happy to email with you.
Estorbo,
ReplyDeleteI totally get where you're coming from. My mom has spent nearly 5000 dollars on the darg so far this year with no answers yet and 1500 on my teeth (now I'm a toothless old man). Life is expensive. dayeen dayout.
Mr. P
And what about rethinking your self imposed ban on ads on the blog site? We'd all understand that decision.
ReplyDeleteLike the others, I'm so grateful to you for this blog and am happy to throw something "in the kitty".
You know I cannard reeseest when you use the smallboice...
ReplyDeleteI yam feelin your pain! I work eleventy hundred days a week...Mom says I earn my foods but I think I earn hers too. Mom says on friday I can send you some green papers for your medications. Please get and stay healthy, you are one funny cad!
ReplyDeletethat picture of you is so inviting - you grab even the hardest heart with that one
ReplyDeleteI do know the pain of vet bills and it is a necessary evil.
I think it must be Javier Bardem who could pull off Estorbo.
A leetle sumting is on da way. Felice Navidad!
ReplyDeleteEstorbo
ReplyDeleteHave sent a little something for you, more in the New Year. Let's say it's from our cats to you.

We are tres happy to make a small donation ... & truly wish it could be much more but with yet another lil kitten mouth to feed (plus the ved bills) I'm not at all sure how I'll manage the beautiful brood I currently share Black Street with.
