It's Time for Secret Paws 2017

Welcome to Secret Paws 2017!

When the kitties of the Cat Blogosphere, from all 'round the world, join paws for the

holidays to secretly exchange names and share the joy of gifting one another.

This has been a tradition for more years than any of us can remember,

and each year it seems to grow and grow.

Gift costs are always kept to a minimum, and we do our best to exchange

names "within country", so none have the added expense of overseas shipping.

We do ask that one and all respect deadlines so all kitties have their goodies

to open on Christmas Day!  

So ~ whether you have joined in past years ~ or if Secret Paws is new to you ~ just

let us know you want to be part of this event (deadline is 11/03/17, letting us know

sooner is always better) ... and then you'll receive your very own

Secret Paw name from us, and well, Merry Meowy Holidays!

Thanks for being part of Secret Paws 2017

We will also send everyone an invitation to contribute to this blog site so you can post pictures and thank yous once you receive yours.
