Title: Set of Genuine Gemini's Whiskers (only one careful lady owner!)and a great Scarf
Post by: Gemini on December 03, 2007, 14:23:56 PM
Hello to all you lovely Purrs People,
:Luv:
I must apologise for being so late entering my whiskers, I'm afraid it's all the folks' fault, missing the start date, (honestly, humans just cannot be relied upon sometimes).
So, better late than never, I would like to offer no less than 6 of my finest whiskers (and they are very fine too!), to this year's auction. I know this was Pickford's idea last year, but I feel sure my whiskers are far more valuable than his, being that much prettier.  There will be another nice little cat gift included with them too, so this item is "Gemini's Whiskers Plus".
Now - again due to human error, they haven't yet managed to get a good enough photo of my whiskers, so you will need to take my word that they are of the highest quality - perfectly formed and regularly cleaned whilst I was wearing them. 
Photo to follow soon!!!!

The photo is a couple of posts up and there you can see the Plus thing.......quite nice, although my whiskers are obviously the main item  :shify: ;D

Good luck with the bidding, all at Cat Chat hope you raise squillions for Eight Lives Kitten Rescue!

Love and Purrs from
Gemini Cat

Hello again,
Ok I have finally got the folks to get a photo, well, of the 'extra' bit of my prize anyway - it's a very lovely (although not as lovely as my whiskers of course)  silver & black fully-lined scarf, with cats on (well, what else?).  Unfortunately Beau got in the way when the photo was taken, and he is rolling on my whiskers!!!!!!!  (Honestly and he wonders why I give him the occasional swat on the nose).
The whiskers thankfully are not damaged (I have tough whiskers), and are now in a safe place awaiting their new owner.
Postage will be paid by the folks here.

Oh - here's the photo then - sorry about the big lump of white can in the way!

Love & Purrs from Gemini

Hello!
Oh this is good, that's £4.66 per whisker so far!

Right - how about this... if the winning bid is £30 or more, the folks will also send the winner a 'mystery prize' as well as the scarf, and my most glorious whiskers.  (As if my whiskers weren't gorgeous and mysterious enough, honestly!)
