Cat Lady Box
DAZED & CONFUSED & FILL-INS
Feline Friday
When it comes to toys, the ones from Cat Lady Box are always favorites, especially when it comes to Kizmet. This little lion head has seen quite a bit of action and not just from Kizmet. I’ll be sharing photos of some other of the Kitties Blue and the toy in future posts. If Kizmet looks a little dazed and confused, it’s due to the excellent nip in these toys.
Kizmet will be joining the Feline Friday blog hop hosted by messymimi’s meanderings. Click on the badge below if you would like to join the hop.
Friendly Fill-Ins
The Friendly Fill-Ins blog hop is hosted each Friday by Ellen (15 And Meowing) and Lorianne (Four-Legged Furballs). They publish the fill-in sentences on their blogs each Thursday. To join the hop, click on the badge at the left.
My faithful helper, Sawyer, gave me some assistance again today, as did Astrid. I am always grateful for any help I can get. We all used teal italics for our fill-ins. Any explanatory information is in parentheses.
1. I am so not looking forward to being off the Peloton for a while after I get my new knee.
2. Astrid: The juice from black beans is surprisingly delicious.
3. I need a welcome sign at my front door that says, “Don’t even bother to knock if you don’t like cats.” (I guess that wouldn’t be very welcoming.)
4. Sawyer: I would give up treats if it meant that I could be free of having seizures. (If you believe that, I have a bridge I can sell you.)
Thank you for dropping by today. If you missed yesterday’s post, something pretty amazing happened, and so you might want to check it out. The link is below this post.
We’ll be looking for you again tomorrow when we share some Caturday Art and celebrate Astrid and Lisbeth’s birthday.
TRAPPED & A THANKFUL AUDREY
Thoroughly Poetic Thursday
The part of my brain that has an aptitude for writing poetry has been on hiatus for the past several weeks. Regardless, I have come up with a poem for this week’s inspiration photo provided by Angel Sammy and Teddy from Two Spoiled Cats. I find the photo almost frightening, as individuality and diversity is so important in the creation of a vibrant and creative society. I think my poem says this in a very basic way.
Trapped in the Suburbs
These identical houses are absurd,
But that’s what you get in the suburbs.
I love my 100-plus year old house in the city.
It’s unique and large enough for all the kitties.
You couldn’t pay me to live in this neighborhood.
I would be depressed and never feel good
About driving in circles trying to find my house.
It would feel like a maze, and I was the mouse.

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 is always a winner.
Thankful Thursday
Kitties Blue and I like to share our thankfuls each week and participate in Brian’s Thankful Thursday blog hop.
Periwinkle and Stinky are thankful to those of you who visited with them on International Cat Day. If you didn’t join them on their adventure, I do recommend you check it out. Twenty-one of their feline friends who live outside the United States participated in the adventure. Here’s the link: “THE ADVENTURES OF PERIWINKLE & STINKY: PART CXCVI.”
Audrey is thankful for one of the toys (especially the feathered part) from the most recent Cat Lady Box.
Kitties Blue and I are thankful for all of you who visit, read our posts and comment. And we thank you for joining us today.

Looking Back
Last week’s Looking Back post was from September 22, 2012, and entitled, “Feeding Time at the Blue Zoo.” At the time, I mentioned that there is a companion post to that one, and I would post it this week. “The Electric Can Opener Experiment” is from September 24, 2012. Click on the link to read it.
Kitties Blue and I truly appreciate those of you who have been reading our Looking Back posts and commenting. I truly believe those posts are some of the best on the blog.
Thanks for joining us today.
