Thankful Thursday
Astrid and I have the first thankful. Sampy sent her the most incredible anniversary present, which his mom, Emily, created. Here’s a photo of it.
We knew Emily is very talented, but never knew she could draw. So this was a huge surprise. It looks exactly like Astrid and is purrfect!
I am thankful for another double win on the Tuesday Teaser at Two Spoiled Cats. I was one of two First Commenters and the First Right Guesser of the Teaser. These are the badges I received.

Kitties Blue and I are thankful for those of you who visited our Monday post when we remembered our angel Mau.
We are, of course, thankful for each of you who visit us, comment and join our blog hop.

Thoroughly Poetic Thursday
This week’s inspiration photo provided by Teddy and Angel Sammy from Two Spoiled Cats is truly bizarre. I did consider adding a few of the Kitties Blue to it, but that would have been overdoing it just a tad. Seventeen bald babies all dressed in the same blue romper is nightmare enough!
You’re on Candid Camera
There are so many babies
I don’t know what to do.
I feel like I’m trapped in a human zoo.
With all these mouths to feed
And diapers to change,
I think I may be going insane.
When I was hired to care for multiple infants,
I didn’t ask for the exact number
Or if they took the opportunity to slumber.
I definitely need some assistance.
They all look exactly the same,
And I have no idea of their names.
I think this must have been a prank—
Like that TV show Candid Camera.
If so, release me before I lose my stamina.

Only a so-so poem this week for which I apologize. I think this is a photo that stands along and didn’t really need me to try and interpret it.
If you’d like to join in the fun of writing poetry, click on Angel Sammy’s poetry badge. That will take you over to Two Spoiled Cats where you can find next week’s inspiration photo. You’ll also be able to check out Angel Sammy’s poem for this week. He transmits it to Teddy each week from the Rainbow Bridge, and in our opinion, it’s always a winner.
Thanks for joining us today. Kitties Blue and I hope you will join us again tomorrow when we celebrate our 11th blogoversary and the second anniversary of Sawyer’s second Gotcha Day.
What a pretty and very thoughtful gift for Astrid, one I’m sure you’ll cherish always. I liked your take on the poem that it was a nanny on the floor. Have a great weekend!
Great job on the poem. I love the drawing of Astrid. Such a thoughtful gift.XO

Beautiful drawing of Astrid – a most special gift! Love your poem – it would be a nightmare (hopefully just a dream and not a reality!) to be surrounded by all those babies wanting attention RIGHT THIS MINUTE…..EEEEEK! Nightmare time!!!!

Congrats on your wins at the teaser class!! Well done!
What a wonderful portrait of Astrid, amazing!
I love your poem…I too, thought it was a portrayal of a bad dream…maybe the lady got news of twins or triplets so now she’s having nightmares, LOL!!
LOVE the portrait. Perfect likeness, and lovely art.
That is a nice drawing of Astrid indeed! Funny poem about the baby picture!
