Woohoo...we were nominated fur dis award by both our frends Dragonheart and Chairman Mao!
Here's some more infurmashun about the Power of Schmooze:
"As it goes, schmoozing is the natural ability 'to converse casually, especially in order to gain an advantage or make a social connection.' Good schmoozers effortlessly weave their way in and out of the blogosphere, leaving friendly trails and smiles, happily making new friends along the way. They don’t limit their visits to only the rich and successful, but spend some time to say hello to new blogs as well. They are the ones who engage others in meaningful conversations, refusing to let it end at a mere hello - all the while fostering a sense of closeness and friendship."
Yup, we love to schmooze cuz we love to make frends...and now we are suppose to select only 3 of our frends to nominate fur diz award! This is very difficult because we think all our frends deserve this award and almost everyone has been nominated so we need to think furry hard about it and, well, we'z pretty lazy and thinking is a lot of work. Okay, we'z thinked about it and dis is what we think....all of you, anyone who hasn't been nominated already, get this award! There, now we haffent left out any of our dear frends.

5 things you would do if you were a millionaire?
Zippy -1) Buy a bigger house wif a whole seperate wing for those two nut cases that mom calls my brofur and sisfur. Yeah, like I'm related to those two idiots!
2) Build a giant cat refuge right in the middle of the U.S.A. where all the neglected, abused and homeless kitties could come and live and be loved and find a reely nice forever home!
3) Give money to other shelters so they can keep taking care of all da aminals dat is homeless.
4) Help our blogging frends dat needs help!
5) Going back to number 1 - with lots of space (maybe a whole seperate building) fur dad's junk so mom doesn't hafta keep moving it to get to her stuff!
Sadie - Ditto - hey, we'd like our own space too!
Speedy - Yup!
5 bad habits?
Zippy - I have no bad habits. Shut up Sadie! Hissing is not a habit, it's a form of expression...
Sadie - hehehe, sticking my butt in beans faces...dat's it, it's the only one I have! Reely, move on now...
Speedy - Crap, where do I start? I'm a sloppy eater. I poop in what mom calls "inapropriate" places (we're working on this one) I just started doing this and mom doesn't know why. I always pee in da corner of the litter so the scraper thing gets stuck. I chase Sadie when she doesn't want to play. I get up on the backs of beans chairs fart and leave. I empty the entire toy basket and leave them scattered all over the house. I eat anything I find on the floor. I claw the curtains and drapes. I beg for treats efurrytime mom opens a cabinet door, even if I've just had some. I ask for nip at least twice a day...okay, I'll stop here, but the list is long! I'm proud of being a "bad boy" sometimes. Sometimes I wish I could be better about this stuff, but I gotta be me...
5 things you enjoy doing?
Zippy - Sleeping on the big bed. Sleeping on dad's office chair. Sleeping on the padded stool on my Gizzy kwilt. Sleeping in the soft grass by the naybors basement window. Beating the snot out of Speedy for no good reason.
Sadie - Playing wif my sparkly balls. Playing chase wif Speedy. Sleeping on my Gizzy kwilt. Talking to mom. Having my tail gently pulled and rubbed!
Speedy - Playing wif Sadie. Playing wif baby kitties (until they get bigger and attack me!). Sleeping on my Gizzy kwilt next to the couch while mom and dad watch tv. When Zippy lets me near her, once she even let me sleep on da bed wif her! Having mom here all da time, it's great!
5 things you would never wear again?
Oh, I think we're in agreement on this one - water and those stupid reindeer antlers dad puts on us at Krissmouse! We won't wear clothes - EVER!
Yup!
Most definatly!
5 favorite toys?
Zippy - Eh, not so much...okay, daddy, he's a grate toy!
Sadie - I only have one favorite toy, my sparkle ball. But mom hasta flatten all the sparklies on it first.
Speedy - No Sadie, what about the fev-ver butt mousies we chase all over? Oh, she sez she only does that when I throw them for her to make me happy. Well, my favorite toy in the world is Sadie! Then in order, my spunjball, the oktopus, fev-ver butt mousie and mom.
We'z apposeta tag 3 now, so let's see who...okay Sadie! Sadie wants to tag Rocky the Gutter cat, Speedy wants to tag Tripper the Psyko Cat and I'll tag my sweetie, Eddy. There. Now, there is other noos but this post has gotten kinda long and we all need naps!
We gots dis award from Mickey who is a furry handsome mancat (Sadie told me to say dat). We do care about our beans, after all dey is da ones who open da cans fur us! Okay, dat's not da only reason. Dey is also warm when it's cold outside, provide lots of rubbies and brushing (again, dat was Sadie) and dey is furry soft to lay on. 
Thank you so much for these beyootiful awards! 
Many of yoo know dat my sisfur, Sadie, was formerly feral. She had two litters of kittens afore she was even a year old! She was furry shy at da shelter and no one was interested in a kitty dat curled up wif her face hidden in da back of da cage when beans were around. Mom saw past dat and her and dad brawt her home. She is quite da love now and my best frend. Her favorite thing is getting brushed, she wants it alla time! She has a collection of brushes and expects dat if yoo sit down near one (and dey is in almost every room of da house) yoo will brush her.
