Feline/Friendship Fridays
Kizmet spotted a squirrel in the tree outside of the catio. It was chattering away about some perceived fault on the part of the cats or humans. If you cannot see said squirrel, it is the blob about a half inch down and to the right of the branch to the right of Kizmet’s outstretched paw.
Kizmet is participating in the Feline Friday blog hop at Comedy Plus and the Friendship Friday blog hop at Create With Joy. You can join her by clicking on the appropriate badge(s).
Friendly Fill-Ins: Week #255
Time for those fill-ins hosted each week by Ellen (15 And Meowing) and Lorianne (Four-Legged Furballs). Last week the Kitties Blue completed three of the four fill-ins and informed me they think they should be able to do them every week. Sometimes, however, the fill-ins do not lend themselves to completion by a cat. So Kitties Blue are warming the bench this week.
1. I wish I knew how to play Mahjong.
2. If offered a free trip to space, I would decline.
3. Dad Tom and I having had our COVID vaccines is the most exciting thing in my life right now.
4. I could give a long lecture on the topic of how to be a volleyball scorekeeper.
Friendly Fill-Ins is a blog hop. You can find the sentences to be filled in on both Ellen and Lorianne’s blogs on Thursdays. And you can join the hop by clicking on the badge below.
We’ll be back tomorrow with some Caturday Art.

Thankful Thursday
Dad Tom and I have designated in our will a close friend (with generous compensation) as the caregiver of any cat who is still part of the household when we are both gone. Today, however, I asked Noelle and Raz’s mom, Sharon (Friends Furever), if she would be willing to take Sawyer into her home. She said, “yes.” Sawyer is overjoyed that should this occur, he will be with his girlfriend, Noelle. According to Mom Sharon, the feeling is reciprocated. So that is the main and most wonderful thankful ever for us. We know he will be loved and get exceptional care.

I also am thankful for the beauty of spring all around our home. Here are a couple of photos.
Thankful Thursday is a blog hop hosted by Brian. To participate, post on your blog for what you are thankful, and then click on Brian’s badge. You’ll be whisked away to his blog where you can enter the link to your post.
Thoroughly Poetic Thursday
Thursday also is the day I write a poem for the poetry challenge presented by Angel Sammy and Teddy from Two Spoiled Cats. This week’s inspiration photo and my poem are below.
Longing for Home
This young woman looks super bored.
Selling candy and cigarettes to strangers
not her idea of a rewarding career.
She’s seen dozens of movies for free,
But she’d rather be on the screen—
An actress in beautiful costumes
With admiring fans applauding her.
She came to Hollywood to be discovered
But found she couldn’t live on dreams.
Iowa or Kansas or wherever she’s from
Is looking pretty good right about now.

While visiting Two Spoiled Cats, please make certain you read Angel Sammy’s poem. He transmits it to Teddy from the Bridge each week, and it is always a winner.
