| All Black Cats Are Not Alike Kickstarter Campaign |
Cynthia: I was perusing the awesome Kate Benjamin’s Hauspanther site and I came across her post about Studio Goldsparkle’s kickstarter campaign.
Studio Goldsparkle is campaigning to create an illustrated book about black cats called, All Black Cats Are Not Alike.

Marcy: So?
Cynthia: So Peter Arkle is an amazing illustrator whose work appears in Time Magazine and the New Yorker, and Amy Goldwasser is a super talented editor and writer. They love cats and will feature 50 distinct black cats in their book.
One of the rewards is a chance to nominate a black cat to join the All Black Cat Casting Call. Winners of the casting call will be featured in the book. Isn’t that so fantastic?
Marcy (shrugging): Not really.
Cynthia (excitedly): Aw c’mon! Guess who I’m nominating?
Marcy (exasperated): But I’m not a black cat. I’m white cat with black markings. Sometimes I wonder about your powers of observation.
Cynthia: Oh… uh… I meant that I’m nominating Penelope Kitten.

penelope kitten (squeaking): me?
Marcy: Gasp. You wouldn’t.
Cynthia: Why not? It would be a great opportunity for Penelope Kitten if she were chosen. Don’t you want our Pkitty to be just as famous as you?
Marcy: No.
penelope kitten (squeaking loudly): photo shoot playtime!
Penelope Kitten excitedly hops and flops and crashes into Marcy trying to figure out her best side for photos.
penelope kitten: this is my best side. no this is. no this. wait. this is the best…

Marcy is disgusted. She stalks off, whipping her tail back and forth.
Cynthia: Ahhhhh… Marcy… where are you going in such a huff?
Marcy: Off to start my own Kickstarter campaign. It’s an interactive media project called Big Sister Revenge.
