First Blogoversary!

SPECIAL ANNOUNCEENT: The party has been extended through the night and all day on Saturday. Arrangements have been made if you need to take a nap see Opus and he will show you where the rest place is. So, party on!!!!!!!!



Welcome to my First Blogoversary! I am so glad that you could make it and hope you have a lot of fun today. I knew this was going to be a fun and an exciting day, which started when I opened my email this morning. I received the following gifts:



A greeting card from Opus and a new profile photo, thanks Opus!


A beautiful bouquet of red roses from The Cat Realm




Also from The Cat Realm this most stunning trophy, thanks so much!!!



For my first blogoversary I tried to think of something that hadn't been done yet and the idea of paintball sounded perfect. For those of you that don't know what paintball is or how to play I will have that information available.

WHAT IS PAINT BALL?
The sport of paintball has become recognized as one of the world's most exciting outdoor participation sports. Paintball is a combination of the childhood games such as tag or hide and seek, but it is much more challenging and sophisticated. Typically a group of players are divided into two teams with the objective of eliminating opposing players by hitting them with a paintball shot from a special airgun. Win or lose, everyone has a good time and there is always another game waiting to be played.

Mrs. Oz from The Cat Realm will acquaint you with the paintball guns and the paintballs.


Paintball guns are powered by carbon dioxide or compressed air and come in various shapes and styles. Many of the guns use large refillable cylinders called tanks or bottles, which give hundreds of shots before needing to be refilled. The paintball guns that we are using today are semi-automatic that allows you to simply squeeze the trigger each time you want to shot a paintball. The paintball gun's range is limited to only about 50 yards.


A paintball is a round, thin-skinned gelatin capsule with coloured liquid inside. The capsules are filled with a "paint" that is non-toxic, non-caustic, water-soluble, and biodegradable. You can remove the paint from clothing and skin with mild soap and water. A player who is hit and marked with paint is eliminated from the game.

Before we divide into teams I will have Tintin go over the safety rules that he was nice enough to research for me. When he is finished he will pass out your gun, paintballs, and all of the safety items you will need to make your paintball experience safe and fun. Also, we will have a target for you to practice before the games begin if you would like to do so.

SAFETY: Paintball players must always wear eye-protecting goggles specifically designed for paintball and must be worn during all games and at all times! A protective face mask is mandatory as well. Paintball is a very safe sport as long as safety rules are followed. As you can see from the photo of Tintin and myself the importance of following all these rules, plus your fur will be protected.

Sassy Kat said...

Sweet Praline-So glad that you came today, hope you are having a great time!

Ruis & Karl-I haven't seen you two for awhile, I won't even ask where you two were hiding.

Zippy, Sadie, & Speedy-I know you would enjoy this party! I didn't know that your mom did the paintball stuff. Now you can go with her next time she goes.

Jan's Gang-All in fun, tell Crystal not to worry but yes I am gunning for him.

Goldie-You must remember to duck and run. Always be on the lookout.

Daisy-Glad you liked the lizzard pizza, I had it made especially for you and also got pink paintballs for you to use.

Ernie & Zoey-So glad you stopped by, looks like you are playing hard. Help yourself to any of the pizzas and drinks, don't forget the cake too.

Karl-I heard you were really going after me today and I guess those rumors were true, you got me good. And no, I didn't shoot your buddha.

Opus-I'm not sure you should be going after Momo, she is on our team.

Jewel Girl & Gang-You have given me some good ideas. I will have to see if that is something that can be done. Thanks.

Asta-There are wipe thingies over by the food table so help yourself. Oh, oh, duck. . . splat. . .never mind.

Purrageous Pirates-Thanks for coming over today, I hope you are having a great time! Help yourself to the food and drinks and please stay for the night games.

Samatha & Tigger-So glad that you came today. Please stay for the night games, it is more fun than the daytime games.

PB&J-So glad to see you, I am glad that you are having fun. Thanks for the greetings.

Mickey-So happy you came and I am glad you are having a good time. It is always fun to have a visit with you, please stay for the night games.

Lacy & Rocky-I am so glad that you came over today, we don't get to visit as much as I would like and being with you today makes this so much fun. I had special pizzas made for my doggie friends and glad that you enjoyed them.

Miss Peach-I am sorry to hear that you were grounded for being bad, which I don't believe you are ever bad. Did someone frame you????? Thanks for sneaking over to spend sometime with me today. Please stay as long as you want.

EVERYONE PLEASE STAY FOR THE NIGHT GAMES!!! THEY ARE A BLAST!!!!!!!!

Cat Naps in Italy said...

Time for me and my paint gun to curl up and take a cat nap. Thank you so much Sassy for the wonderful party. Will check in later when I wake up (but that might be sunday)! Hehehehehehe!

How on EARTH are we gonna get this paint off without taking a bath????

Love,
Opus

Cat Naps in Italy said...

SPLAT!!!!!!

One last shot before my nap! I wonder who I hit?????

Opus

River said...

I can only drop in for a minute but it looks like so much fun! Happy First!!

love & wags,
River

Sassy Kat said...

Opus-Thanks so much for coming over and all of your help with the photographs. Rest up as I am pretty sure that we aren't done yet.

Sassy Kat said...

River-Thanks for stopping by, I hope you have time to crab a little doggie pizza that I had delivered. Sounds like you are in a hurry but please if you can stop back over, I know we will all be here.

Angel MoMo and Charlotte said...

Mieow, efurryone! Don't you recognise me - I am multicloured MoMo. Happy Blogoversary, Sassy!!!! What fun! POW!!! SPLATT!!!

I love being messed up and splattered. The food is so yummy. I will eat some before the night game starts.

Jans Funny Farm said...

Uh-oh, Buddy was aiming for Tintin and hit you Sassy.

Splat!

Crystal: That was for calling me "she." Can I borrow this equipment tomorrow? Jan's next on my list. She called me "she" too. And SHE should know better! hehehehe!

Cat with a Garden said...

Hi Sassy! Happy first Blogoversary!
I'm sorry but my mom is a spoilsport and I'm not allowed to play. I'll sneak out later, though...
Siena

Sassy Kat said...

Momo-I am glad that you are having a fun time. I think we make good team players. The CCSI executives ban together to take out the opposing teams.

Crystal-Don't worry, we all know you are a mancat. Maybe others just got hit in the head too much with the paintballs.

Siena-Tell your mom that this is a safe sport and with our gear on you will not get paint on you, I think. Please come back if you can get away again.

Mr. Hendrix said...

Fun fun!! Happy Blogoversary Sassy!

I know we're late, but Bendrix reeeeealy wants to get his paws on a paintball gun.

Thanks for inviting us.

Here's a niptini for a toast "To many many more blogoversaries to share!!"

Just Ducky said...

Happy Blogoversary Sassy! May you have many more. ::ducks quickly:: Hey you missed me!!!!!

Sassy Kat said...

Mr Hendrix & Bendrix-You are not arriving too late, we are going to paintball all of the night and maybe even tomorrow. You are just in time.

Derby-Glad you could come, help youself to the refreshments and when you are ready to paintball Tintin will get you your gear.

Sassy Kat said...

SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT!!!!!!!

We are extending the paintball party through the night and all of tomorrow. So join on in for paintball and refreshments.

The Devil Dog said...

Happy Blooversary, Sassy. Great party, but no broccoli? Bummer. I would love the chocolate cake, but it makes me real sick, so I'll go for the meat, if that's okay with you.

Roxy & Lucky

Samantha & Mom said...

All right an all night and Saturday party!! We are game after a short nap of course! How is this paint going to come off? I am not into baths! (Tig) And Sam only get's wet in rain storms!!
Your FL furiends,

Sabrina, Sam and Simon said...

Sassy, we have NEVER seen such a crazy party! WOW, so much fun! This is the bestest way to celebrate your First Blogoversary! We will probably only get extra Stinky Goodness for ours ... hee hee! You and your party rock! Happy First Blogoversary!
Purrs and headbutts,
Sabrina, Sam and Simon

Quill and Greyson said...

Concats looks fun, but I'd never get paint out of this floof.

Karen Jo said...

Yay for the continuing games. I was afraid I would be too late. Now to get my gear on and join in. POW! SPLAT! Oh, no, Bendrix got me already.

Leslie said...

Happy blogoversary! :)

Angel MoMo and Charlotte said...

Phew, what colour am I now? Seriously, SS won't know me when I am through.

Cat Naps in Italy said...

I'm where is everyone? Oh are you all sleeping now? Well I guess it is time for me return the favor (see my blog today). Anyone not able to out run my paintball gun is gonna get it! And that INCLUDES sleeping friends!

Opus
P.S. But I won't touch your Buddha Karl.

Islay said...

Splat! Once again, give you joy on your first Blogoversary, Sassy! It's been a wonderful year! Sorry to have missed the paintball party, but it looks like it was very messy. I kind of thought cats were particular about that sort of thing, but you've all proven me wrong! Looks like you've had lots of fun.

licks & slobbers
-Charlie

Jans Funny Farm said...

Uh-oh, Opus is finished his nap and on the lookout for whoever shot him while he was sleeping. We think this is a good time to take a pizza break.

Great party, Sassy!

Sassy Kat said...

Roxy & Lucky-So nice you two could come. I didn't know you wanted broc so I will try to have it at my next party. Party on and help yourself to more food.

Samatha & Tigger-I knew I could count on you two to party on with us. I guess if you don't want to take the paint off with soap and the you know what you can just wait until new fur grows in. Now party on!

Sabrina, Sam & Simon-So nice to meet you and I am glad that you came over. You all are great paintballer players. Make sure to see Opus if you need a rest and he will show you where the rest area is.

Fin-Yes, you can get the paint off of you but if you wear all of the gear you will stay pretty clean. See if Tintin can find you extra protective gear. Thanks for coming.

Karen Joe-I am happy that you are going to continue with the games. Will try to help you get Mr. Hendrix when we start the next game.

Leslie-Thanks for stopping by. Please help yourself to the refreshments and join in on the game.

Momo-You are beautiful and you are the beautiful colors of the rainbow right now, ha, ha, ha.

Opus-I will head over to your place right now, you have me curious. I am glad to hear that you didn't shoot Karl's buddha, that makes all of the CCSI executives in the clear.

Charlie-You are not too late!!!! We are partying all night and all of Saturday too. So join in on the fun!!!!

Jan's Gang-I don't think we are on teams anymore, I just think we are all getting each other. That is much more fun.

Jans Funny Farm said...

We had a nice nap and some more of those delicious eats. Time to get back in the game.

Sassy, we know you don't have any bros or sissy's living in your home, so you wouldn't guess this. But there's 9 or us. (That's not the part you wouldn't guess.) But we are always a team! Even when we're splatting one another with paintballs.

Which should happen right about ....
SPLAT!

Gotcha, Sass.

Sassy Kat said...

Jan's Gang-Yes, indeed you all are a team and I must add a great one at that! When I feel lonely or the need to have a bro or a sissie I will head over to your place. Then I will come back home and be glad to be an only, ha, ha, ha.

Sassy Kat said...

I wanted to thank everyone that came out today for my first blogoversary paintball party. I hope all of you had a great time. This might be something to do again. Please feel free to play as long as you want. The CCSI executives are getting our heads together and might be missing for a few rounds of paintball. So you all eat, drink, paintball, and be merry!!!!!!!

Again THANK YOU ALL FOR COMING!

(angel) Grrreta and Fam said...

Happy blogoversary! What a fun party! Lizard pizza sounds delicious. My fur always has peach colored splotches on it, so now I look like everyone else at the party.

Cory said...

I know I'm more than a big fashionably late, but better late than never. Is there still pizza left for me? Happy Blogoversary!

Sassy Kat said...

Gretta-Hope you didn't get too much paint on you. This party is getting pretty crazy.

Cory-You are not late, we have continued this party well into the night and into the next day. Thanks so much for coming.
