Thoroughly Poetic Thursday
I had fun today with Two Spoiled Cats’ (Teddy and Angel Sammy) photo for their weekly poetry challenge. We had a similar inspiration photo some months ago. You can see it and our poem at, “Three’s a Crowd With Calista Jo”. Instead of Calista Jo, Raleigh joined today’s inspiration photo.

Cat Door Encroachment
Hey, get your big nose out of my door.
You know I’ve warned you about this before.
This passage is strictly for felines,
Not gigantic-nosed, slobbery canines.
If you don’t back off, I’ll give you a whap,
And it won’t feel like a friendly love-tap.
Honestly, I didn’t think you were so dumb
Or is this just a case of sheer boredom?
Whatever your problem, I say, “scram!”
I’ve got claws and I’m not afraid to use ‘em.
Now, please remove your colossal schnozz
Or get a scratch from my mighty paws!

If you haven’t been participating in Teddy and Angel Sammy’s poetry challenge, I recommend you give it a try. It’s the perfect opportunity to get creative. Check out Two Spoiled Cats, by clicking on the poetry badge, for next week’s inspiration photo. And please read Angel Sammy’s poem. He’s one of our very favorite poets.
Thankful Thursday
Thursday is also the day we share the things for which we are thankful. Then we join Brian’s Thankful Thursday blog hop.
It’s been ugly and rainy here where we live, but its still been a pretty good week. Several of the kitties and I have thankfuls to share.
- Audrey is thankful to have her spay surgery behind her. She had it yesterday and came through like a champ.
- Talk about champs…Sawyer has been eating like one and hasn’t had a seizure, that we know of, in 11 days.
- Cooper Murphy is thankful for earning another merit badge at Cat Scouts for learning about Wild Cats. Here’s a fact, that unless you are a Cat Scout, we bet you don’t know: The Rusty-Spotted Cat (Prionailurus rubiginosus) is the world’s smallest wild cat weighing only 1.8 to 3.5 pounds. It is 14 to 19 inches in length minus its tail, which is approximately half the length of its body. (Just as a side note: Cooper Murphy weighs 19 pounds!)
- I am super thankful I have almost finished decorating and addressing the Kitties Blue Christmas cards, and I have finished all my shopping. Please don’t tell, but the gang are getting some pretty great gifts this year!
If you’d like to participate in Brian’s hop, post on your blog for what you are thankful. Then click on his badge to link up.
Thanks for visiting us today. We’ll be back tomorrow with some fill-ins.
Oh Raleigh! You’re smashing that poor dog’s nose! MOL!
Great job on the poem. Congrats to Cooper for earning another badge. XO

CATS rule, Dogs drool.
Thank you for your kind comments

Love what you did with the photo. You made me smile.
I also love all your thankful things. Especially the surgery and Sawyer.
Have a fabulous Thankful Thursday. Scritches all around, a smooch to Cooper Murphy and Sawyer and a big hug to mom. ♥
Ahahaha terrific poem! Gave me a much-needed laugh!
Put your big doggo head back in, or kitten whappy paws are in your near future!
We always love when you add a Kitties Blue to the photo. Raleigh’s poem is great.

I LOVED that poem. I really did and the addition was perfect! Made my morning fun
So glad about Sawyer. We all worry about those seizures too and love these longer times between them. I am hoping as we all are that they end altogether.
The addition of Raleigh was great and the poem fit the new picture perfectly.
That is a BRILLIANT poem for Poetic Thursday – love the addition of Raleigh! Also we are of course thrilled Sawyer is working on extending his lucky streak with no seizures. Paws crossed. Sending lots of hugs for everyone!
Love, Teddy and Mom
Oh, we are so, so happy when there is good news about dear Sawyer. YAY!!
