Wotcha! Can I join in... here? is this it? Oh, OK here's my auction thing... Two genuine, bona fide Pickford Whiskers! (in a tin) :wow:
Now I dunno who'd want these , but if anyone does, then the money's going to Ron's rescue cats, so that's good!
I said to Tan and Gill ages ago, I said I'll put up a whisker on the auction, but guess what - another one fell out last week, so there's TWO of them!
The folks here don't reckon anyone'd want my whiskers, they'll all have their own cats they reckon, so they can get whiskers whenever they want, so they said I had to make it more special. So here's the thing, my whiskers (and they are mine too, Gemini's are in a different place) will come in a nice little tin. It's a good tin - has a picture of a tabby cat on (not me, it's a tabby cat picture by Lesley Anne Ivory).
So come on then, who'll start off the bidding at FIFTY PEE !?????? :thanks:
(the folks here will pay the postage)
Love, and Headbutts from Pickford

I dunno if this is allowed, but I'm raising the stakes on my Whiskers-in-a-tin item - I was cleaning my paws the other day and the outside bit of one of my claws fell off... you know, the outside bit that comes off when you grow a new inside bit?
Well anyway, so if you're bidding, it's not just for a pair of my finest whiskers in a tin, but my latest old-claw in a smaller tin too. There! That's them in the photo! (that's if I've managed to upload the photo!!)
So whoever wins this gets the lot... well they don't actually get me, (or the juicer behind me, sorry!)
This is fun - Ron's cats are soo lucky having all these people helping them! :)
Love and insistent headbutts from

Yes its allowed Pickford, oooooooooooooooooooooooo you are so handsome in that picture ;D
Soooooooooooooooooo This offer is now two tins, one with a pair of Pickford whiskers and the other with a claw in them :rofl: :rofl:
Purrrrrrsonally I think we should be able to bid for you ;D
-
Oooo Pickford how about making the claw and its tin a second lot? Your whiskers have been so popular....
Hey how about a bit of fur too? Could you arrange to leave a tuft somewhere, do you think?
It's going to turn into a build-your-own-Pickford lot, this is :rofl:
-
Maybe the winning bidder could have the whiskers and the second highest could have the claw! Just an idea that way Ron gets almost twice as much and. Just an idea!
-
I think we leave it as it is unless Pickford decides to split the the two tins cos everyone bid on the whiskers and the claw was just an ad on present for the winning bidder ;D
-
Ooooo Pickers you are soooo handsome. :catlove:
Now young Rio here says he really would love to just how big your whiskies and you nail bitty is compared to his. So he has given up his fish money ( he was saving up for a new goldfish for the pond in the summer after he ate the last one :fish: :ooops:)
He said he could wait a bit longer for a fishsy and wants to bid
£25 :tongue 2:
-
Oh Tan you are making me feel very guilty if your little guy wants to compare his whiskers with Private Pickford's, but ;D ;D £25.50 ;D
-
:bid: Hollihedge
-
Hey Pickford - what about an auction where we bid to meet you????? Id pay looooooaaaaaaaads for that!!!! :clap:
-
:bid: Hollihedge
-
:bid: Hollihedge 25.50
-
Hey Devilish - I never thought of that!
But what if someone won it and came here to CC Towers and I was out!!!??? I'm not out much though, not these days, too cold. Maybe next time, or maybe I could get a 'visit to CC Towers' into the next catchat raffle - now that's a thought. I'll work on the folks for that one. They'd have to do some housework though, or everyone on this forum'd know what a tip the place is!! Oh.... umm, I shouldn't have said that should I, they'll know that already now. Crumbs! :shy:
Whoever gets my whiskers won't be disappointed!
Only hours to go, this is exciting! I'm off to see if I'm allowed to bid on something before it's too late...
Lots of love and Force-6-on-the-richter-scale-Headbutts :wow:

Well done Gill, you know this makes you pretty much officially bonkers don't you? No one down here can believe my whiskers even made a quid, let alone over thirty - but we showed 'em didn't we!!! I'll get the folks to wrap them up real careful an put it all in one of those bubbly envelopes, (one that the Colonel hasn't stuck his claws in). Crumbs, this was all so exciting wasn't it? Well done Gill and Tan - and Hooray! for Ron's Cats!!

Oh thank you Pickford, now I am officially bonkers.......I always secretly knew but didnt like to mention it :rofl: :rofl:
Yes those are very valuable whiskers you have there and I am afraid I just couldnt afford them. I hope this will be top news on your diary page cos £31 is a lot of money you have helped get for other Pickfords. You are a very kind man ;D

love & head-bonks
Oh dear. :rofl: please forgive my childishness but that did make me laugh Really Quite A Lot. Sorry. I'll crawl back into the gutter now.
-
:poke: :poke: :poke: yes back in the gutter :rofl: :rofl:
-
I am sure they are worth every penny Pickford, and I am probably as bonkers as the other Gill (must be something in the name eh?!)
;D ;D ;D ;D
-
Ahaaaaaaaaa now I recognize you , in CC you used to be Gill LOL.....................maybe it was you Pickford was talking about , confusing ;D
-
Think ya both bonkers if you ask me!!!
But if ya gotta be bonkers to get Pickers Whiskers then i would gladly admitt i am totally bonkers too. :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

Hi Gill!
Just to say that my whiskers and stuff were posted off yesterday. I saw the box being parcelled up and being taken off down the garden path anyway, and they came back without it, so I think that's means they're on their way to you! Look after them Gill - I'm glad they've gone to a good home! :clap:
love from
Pickford

Hi Pickford
I am very excited!! :wow:
My partner tells me that a great big box arrived this morning from Cat Chat Towers...I have forbidden him to open it until I am there tonight!
I will take very good care of your whiskers Pickford - I will treasure them, and thank you so much for donating them to be auctioned for Ron's needy puss cats ;D
Will post when I have opened the parcel!!!
Gill xx
-
Of course it was a great big box - they're great big whiskers!!!
HAHAHAHHAAHHAAA! (oh, sorry about that, I've been on the catnip)
Lots of love
Pickford (the Brave)

;D ;D
Pickford's whiskers have arrived safely, very well wrapped in purple silk and in the Lesley Ann Ivory tins, and I can vouch that they are an extremely fine pair of whiskers indeed, as is the claw bit!!!
Humbug is extremely jealous of them ;D ;D and has told me she agrees with Gemini's posting in the Cat Chat diaries - ho hum - must be a girl furbabe thing!
Thank you very much indeed Pickford, and thanks to your furry pals and the folks for the other gift as well
Have a lovely, lovely Christmas ;D ;D

I knew they would be good ;D
Successful conclusion and thread locked :thanks: :hug:
