I know, I know! I’ve been very slack with my blogging lately. Mishamummy has been suffering from a case of Cat Overload after NZ’s Next Top Cat Model. Whenever we talk about doing a new post, we decide it’d be much nicer just to have a snuggle together. But, rest assured, I have something very exciting to share with you soon!

Cruz is New Zealand’s Next Top Cat Model! Not only is Burmese Cruz ridiculously good-looking, but he’s going to be a great cat model. Check out this clip of him on live TV – he’s so chilled out! I think his beans were more nervous than him!
Not only is Cruz a total hunk (that’s Mishamummy making me type that – she thinks he’s dreamy), but he’s also a great philanthopuss. Not content with raising $1,300 for the RNZSPCA and Lonely Miaow, he’s donating all his prizes to charity! If you live in New Zealand, you can get your paws on some of the awesome prizes – many of which you will know I’m a great fan of, like the Sleepypod, Binky cat toys from STUFF, the Litter Kwitter (which is how I learned to use the human toilet), Fin’s book Housecat Confidential and the Casbah Kitten toys. Click here to check out Cruz’s TradeMe auctions for his prizes. He’ll be adding more over the coming days.

I’ve been very excited all week, as my modelling job for a TV ad was today. What I wasn’t told was that I wouldn’t be allowed to eat for 24 hours beforehand! I know models are supposed to be skinny, but I thought this was redonkulous!
They wanted me to be super hungry for the shoot as I had to eat noms on camera. For those that know me well, when quality noms are put in front of me, I have no problem eating on cue whether I’m hungry or not!
Even when they had finished filming me eating I was still hungry, so they had to give me even more noms. Being around lots of strangers and in an unfamiliar place certainly didn’t curb my appetite!
Then I had to sit next to a presenter on the couch while he talked about the noms. If it was a lady presenter I would have been lounging all over her (you know I luvs the laydeez), but I was still a pro and half sat on his lap and even looked at the camera!
The ad is for two new flavours of Dine Desire which have just been released. It’ll be airing in a week or so, and I’ll be sure to let you know when it’s going to be on. I’m even going to try to get a copy of the ad to put on my blog so you can watch my star turn whenever you want!

We were very excited last night, because there was a story about New Zealand’s Next Top Cat Model on the news!
Meesha, Cruz and Darwin were interviewed for the story. I think the reporter had his nose a bit out of joint about having to drive for over 3 hours to interview a cat. He must be a dog person.

Mishamummy has been very slack in helping me blog lately, but I told her that we have to do a post today as it’s a very impawtant day – it’s my bootiful girlfriend Tama-Chan’s birthday!
I sent her a special Misha present, so even though we can’t be together in the fur, she can still have a virtual Misha snuggle. I hope it arrives in time, but I sent it a bit late as I was waiting for my special Misha cards to arrive.
So, my darling Tama-Chan, if it hasn’t arrived yet, here’s a little something to tide you over…
