Ready for #RedCarpetCat

I suppose by now you've noticed I do most of the writing here. Tanner is usually busy guarding the front door. Clearly I'm better than him at that job too, but I had to make a choice. Today I'm here to give you guys some warm up practice for the TV Animal Trivia that we'll be playing during the #RedCarpetCat Twitter Party.

First things first. If you haven't RSVP'd for the party, you're in luck. You still have time to get in on the thousands of dollars worth of great DOG and CAT prizes. You just need to go here to sign up.  Now, let's get on with your practice!

During the Twitter Party there will be a team of hosts offering up trivia for you to join in. It helps us know you're actually with us on the party if you participate, so just jump right in and toss out some answers. It doesn't matter if they are right or not. You still get credit for being PRESENT and accounted for. That's super easy, right?!!

Here's some practice questions so you can see what we're planning:

1. What was the name of the Looney Tunes character that constantly tried to catch Tweety Bird the canary?
2. Friends character Ross had a monkey named Marcel. What was his breed?
3. What was talking TV horse, Mr. Ed's owner/companion's name?
4.  Do you know which zoo in Central FL was run by Jack Hanna in the mid-70’s?
5. Which 2 PBS documentaries join 'My Life as a Turkey' in the Cinematography category?
6. Animal Planet has 2 nominees for News & Documentaries this year. Which shows?

I just asked my girl some of these questions and she got 2 right. How about you? Would you like to know the answers? Visit Cattipper.com this evening for the answers to the questions above. You'll also find some new questions on her page. Here are the answers to those:

A1. 'Broken Tail' was nominated for 2 Emmy Awards in 2012.
A2. The last name of Dora the Explorer is Marquez.
A3. Mrs. Slocombe has a cat named Tiddles that is the source of constant innuendo.
A4. The Original Mutual of Omaha’s ‘Wild Kingdom’ premiered on NBC in 1963.
A5. ALF learned that he had become a cat lover when Lucky Tanner, his family's cat, died.
A6. Olivia lived with Lily Rush on 'Cold Case.'
A7. Patches the Zombie Cat appeared on one episode of 'Buffy the Vampire Slayer'.
A8. ‘Wild Kingdom’ now is broadcast on Animal Planet.

Tanner and I had a good laugh over the "Patches the Zombie Cat" question.  It's okay, though. Our Patches isn't a Zombie, thank goodness!

I also asked mom if she knew what the questions might be for these. She remembered the ALF show and told us all about it. We even heard some stories about her kitties that she had at that time--Corey Lou and Bandit. She was glad we didn't have an ALF!

Okay, you're all warmed up now, right? Don't forget to show up early, check in, and be ready to man your refresh button. I have a feeling it's going to get a good workout.

And there's one more thing. Did you enter to win the PreTweet prize or the Rafflecopter drawing? Don't miss these two prizes, as they don't require you to be present at the party :) Over and out!
