billiards table to the left corner,

our kitten memfurs tried
following the eight ball into a
pocket, ouch!

WE are so purroud to have
become a Claw Associate Guild in February 2004!

What is Furship?
"Furship Equals
Friendship" is the Guild's Motto. Our Mission is
to combine Friendship and Fun,
although we tackle serious issues
from time to time, for Guild
Members and Claw Members. The
Guild promotes Claw,
friendship, and goodwill for all members
and cats on the web through
many activities and contests.
Furship Members always have a
helping paw to lend and
support all Claw members in
contests and more.
==========================
I've just added a Calendar for Birthdays and
Special
Events, any member is free to use it.
Pepe will be adding
Birthdays to it too.

fur or winter finery and mewing
about the importance of keeping warm
in the winter. There is a
guestbook for members to mew as a furship
activity besides winter camp
with CLAW - 25 point activity.
Ou 4 pages are at Chalet,
Great
Room, Smorgasboard and

about pawing the guestbook! All Furship kitties get additional
Furship points for taking the quiz too!
.==========================
Our Thanksgiving Quilt is online at Thanksgiving Furship Quilt.
You can add a quilt square anytime. There is a guestbook you can

the activity to new members. If
you have a page send the link to Mysty.
It was updated with new
vacations October 2004.

is a 50 point activity.
.==========================
Our
visiting activity continues. Every 2
weeks or thereabouts
depending on the time the
notice goes out etc. for two weeks you will
receive ten points for visiting
a designated Member page and purrticipating
in an activity with a member,
such as signing a guestbook, mewing
a guestbook, mewing on a forum,
viewing a voting activity, sending a
card to someone who does not
have a page or a similar activity. It is a
way of keeping and promoting
Furship as our main activity. Other activities
and contests will still occur
and continue. This activity is twenty points
as with pawing, but any
visiting is always points.
- check this month's mewsletter for changes.
==========================

Ongoing Activities
Miss Pinkerton has the Furship Banner Exchange.
She has offered to help
anyone make one too.
==========================
Furship
Pawing is on hold until after the
New Year. Each month the
winner is the Pawee and all
members paw at that members door for entry.
You can do this in any way you
like. You can send a card, tell a joke,
write something silly, send a
picture of you pawing at a door, virtual catnip or
whatever. The Pawee selects the
winner, whoever strikes their fancy and
gains entry. Silly? Purrobably,
but should be a lot of Furship Fun. All
purrticipation is points and
the Pawee gains 20 points. Just try to put
Furship somewhere in your
mailing or let the pawee know something
for furship was sent
afterwards, so you get credit. This activity will
usually run three weeks, with
the fourth for announcing the winner
and preparing for the next
pawing. If you don't understand this
activity just ask me.
==========================
Banners
from our Furship Banner contest are
on line at
Banner
Contest. You can purroudly display
any banner or card
found on that page or any of
the Furship pages.
==========================
The
Opening Catnap Contest is closed.
Many of you found me napping at my
furravorite place, Mysty's
Balcony. The Catnap Hall of Fame will remain there for
awhile.
Mysty's thinking of leaving
furravorite treats laying around this
year. So drop by and see if a
special Furship point treat might be there,
of course mew have to be able
to pick the right treat, teehee.
==========================
Furship
Memfur Info Page.
Please check often, there are
new members and new listings.
Those without pages or any
member, if you have an activity idea
that does not involve pages,
please let us know. We want everyone
to be happy and participate,
through activities, pages or through mews.
Please
remember also, if you do not have a
page, you can keep your
awards, cyber adoptions or the
like in your Furship locker or anywhere
in the Lodge, just send mail
and let us know.
==========================
I will still try to continue
and list some new info here and update
information as well as the
latest news and events.
==========================
Purrticipation
has been Great with Furship contest
challenges!!
Thanks for visiting our recent
entries. Just continue to let me know
when you visit these pages for
Furship, voting is up to each member and
is optional. It is your
decision if the site or activity merits your vote,
Furship is visiting members and
Claw members sites. We'll continue
to send similar notices like
this for Furship, usually titled Furship
Contest Flash. Concatulations
to Playful and family for winning the
coveted Oscat in June 2004 - Mysty
is now in the running for it! Kudos
to Al and Troubie for placing
in their Valentine Contest and Puffer
and Pepe, who won theirs! Madam
Troublinski, resting in peace, won the
top place in her web brawl
also! Snowpuff and his wink won
the wink wink contest in the
Gallery for June 2003!
==========================
Don't furget to advise Mysty ,
of your week's activity. Especially
before the last week of the
month if you want your points added
to this month's total instead
of the next month. Send in points before
the last week of the month to
receive that month's point credit.
I'm not sure if our point form
is working.
| You can
apply for any member's awards, just visiting is
points,
if you receive the award and
put it on a page, its more points etc. The
same withmost page activities.
==========================
Destino is our AwardCat.
There is a Furship
Awards Page to offer awards.
They have created a terrific
one for the Member of the Month's Page award.
Hope you'll all apply. Anyone
can apply for the award below created by Boo,
but must provide a link back to
Furship. You can tell others we offer the
award also. We hope to have
more awards in the future.
Members can create them also.
==========================
The
Lodge will provide a locker or a room for
your cyber kitty adoptions
from members or the like. Once
your kitty is at home in the Lodge,
you receive additional points
also. We would just like you to purr
with it at times. Any special
award you receive, like a Furrendly Cat
one could be placed there also.
==========================
At present I do not
recommend joining the Furship ring. I
have not heard from Boo
in awhile, who had the ownership
of it. When I applied
to check on it, I was rejected. I may start
a different one. If any
cat would like to be RingCat, please let
Mysty
know.
==========================
If these sites or any member's
site has a guestbook and you sign,
that's  Furship
and points. When you sign let the site owner know
you're from the Furship Guild.
All Furship members, please advise me
through e-mail when a member
participates at an activity regarding
your page or signs a guestbook,
so we can assign their Furship points.
If any member participates in
any activity, please email me if you do
not receive your points.
Whenever possible and have a blind copy option
for an activity, please send a
copy to me which would be the easiest way to
keep track of Furship.
Another activity will be listed
soon, but purrr, lunchtime and naptime!
==========================
Pepe is our BirthdayCat
Director. If your birthday is not listed on
the Member Sites list let her
or Mysty know.
Tiger Magnificat had a
wonderfur idea. If members use e-cards from
CLAW for mews, they can
received an extra point.
Creating a special mew card for
any occasion or page, which could be
used like a card will earn more
Furship points.
But you can always have one fur
your own use too like my Birthday
page.
Plus links will be posted at
the Furship site. A Holiday season one like
LuvKitty's,
Valentine's like Misty's and
more.
==========================
The memfur card was posted
above. Memfurs who place it on their page or
the like on the web will earn
points per page etc. Please send any thoughts
regarding activities or ideas
for catizens who do not have pages.
There are more membership
graphics around furship including the cat
on the Lodge
front page. Let me know if you want it
emailed to you.
We have a Furrendly Kitty
Awards for the Guild. We haven't had time
to do this lately, but they
will be awarded from time to time. We hope
you will each be recipients.
Please send in votes for Furrendly Kitty,
Guild memfurs only. All votes
will be confidential and one per kitty per
month. List of Guild memfurs is
at Furship Memfur
Info Page. Past
Recipients of the Furrendly
Kitty Award include Pepe, Moke, etc.
and have entered our Furship Hall of Honor
along with all our hardest
working, special and most
active cats of the months like Pinkie,
Madam Troublinski and Moke.
The above graphic is an award
that can be given to any site, who meets
the Furship criteria. Members,
as well as others, can earn it for their
page. All members can
automatically vote whether to award the graphic
or not. Destino has an award
page at Furship
member award site for members
to apply, other awards will
follow. If you want to help, let me know. Please
rememfur the list of catizen's
names on the memfur roster in the
Memfur
Page also contains page links for those who
have websites.
Visiting other Catizens is
Furship points!
Send mews for activities to mystyqcat@comcast.net
If unsure, who
to contact just ask.
Anyone wishing to create a
Furship card or Award that is used
receives extra points. Points
are given for used ideas and
participation. Above and below
are two I threw together for friends we've
shared Furship with.
We are going to begin work on
our next contest. If you would like to help,
please let me know. You'll
still be able to participate in it.
Remember if you become
registered in a contest or a similar activity let
me know, so our memfurs can
visit the site and earn further Furship.
Let other CLAW memfurs know
that Furship can support all their efforts
in contests, pages etc. through
Furship and Friendship and Furship
Guild memfurs gain Furship
points for visiting, voting is their choice.
One votes at their discretion,
if they feel the site merits it, but Furship
is earned by visiting.
If any cats are confused about
any Furship activity, please ask.
Most of the current activities
are for members of Furship Guild only.
For other Claw members the
information would be mailed to you
and posted here.
Another concern is to remember
just applying for awards or the
like earns members Furship
points. If the page owner requests a
reciprocal link, then that must
be honored if you accept the award etc.
Remember that many pages
require links back to their sites for
graphics etc. So, when applying
for an award or whatever, keep in
mind if you want to provide the
link.
==========================
The Tyger's Den created
a Level XII graphic award for us for
FurSerenity and
FurDynamic. It's below,
Please visit the
Office for all other level
Awards and point lists.
==========================
All Activities are optional.
This is your Guild and participation is up
to each memfur. We know how
busy us cats can be! There are
many activities and you can
choose which you participate in or are
able to. If you ever need help
or info regarding any activity, just ask.
Any young kittens unsure of
activities or would like to create a page,
please let us know. We want you
to participate in what you would enjoy
doing. Does anyone want the
position of Kittenship?
==========================
Here's a lovely poem that
Pepper Mille' had sent in:
Some cats are big and some
are small,
Some are short and some are tall,
Some have spots and some have stripes,
Some may have fleas or ear mites,
But all together, we are the same,
We all have a different name,
We are all cats, and we have friends,
I hope our friendship never ends,
All of us are beautiful in our own way,
We will always be friends no matter what we say!
==========================
If you were a former member of
Furship and your name is not currently
listed on the Guild pages, you
may have been placed on hiatus, since
we have been unable to contact
you. Just email Mysty
with your updated
information, and we will
re-enter your name. All CLAW members, please
remember you must sign up at
the Computer
room to receive CLAW points.
A big thank you to the Director
and Active Cats, who have helped so much.
I did not think I would be this
active and my is it hard to find enough catnap
time.
