Sparks is the creation of Annie from McGuffy’s Reader. Sparks began as a blog hop, created by our friend. Annie stated when she began Sparks, “I believe we are meant to be lights in this world. If we allow our light to shine, we can see where we are going. It is then that we can begin to truly see each other clearly. Together, we can light up the entire world.”

Your favorite cartoon tabbies, Periwinkle and Stinky, will be taking their next adventure today (rather than Tuesday) in celebration of Halloween, so please make certain you join them over at Friends Furever. It will be Part 2 of last week’s adventure when they visited their friend Walter, the caretaker of a house for black cats. They’ll be delivering the yearly supplies from Walter’s Wish List.

Wishing everyone a fun and safe Halloween.

 

 

 

MY…WHAT BIG FANGS YOU HAVE!

Sunday Selfies: Week #248

 

Grey cat, Kizmet, shares here big fangs for Halloween in a frame with jack-o-lanterns.

 

Boo! Did I frighten you with my selfie? I’m all ready for Halloween. How about you? Do you have a scary selfie to share with us today? Whether it’s scary or not, I sure do hope you are going to join us today on our hop. My fursibs and I always enjoy seeing your cute faces.

I’m looking forward to Halloween, as I like people and make friends with everybody. I’m pretty certain all the other Kitties Blue will be running every time the doorbell rings. And I know my mom and dad will be shooing me away from the door.

Today, I will be resting up and having an easy Sunday. I wish you the same right after you post your selfie and join our hop. But if you can’t participate today, don’t forget that the hop remains open through Thursday.

 

Thanks for being our followers and friends. Toodles, I am oft find a sunpuddle and have my nap!

Boos, purrs and paw-pats, Kizmet



THE ADVENTURES OF PERIWINKLE & STINKY: PART CLVIIl

The Bee & the Mouse

Stinky is ready and waiting for Periwinkle with the Halloween costumes their readers selected for them. He doesn’t want to be late for first part of their annual visit to Walter and the black cats in his care. Right on time, Periwinkle comes hurtling from the teleportation tunnel into Stinky’s waiting paws. After several whisker kisses, Periwinkle says, “Stinky, I am so anxious to see what costumes our readers selected for us!”

“I have them right here,” says Stinky, and he reveals the selections. “These two won paws down. Let’s get changed so we can show everybody.”

 

Two cartoon tabby cats, one dressed in a bee costume and one in a mouse costume with a spooky graveyard and house in the background.

 

“Oh, Stinky, I loved all the costumes we tried, but I think these are my favorites,” says Periwinkle.

“They are also my Mom’s favorites,” replies Stinky. “Personally, I sort of wanted to be the lion,” he adds.

“You can still be the lion for Halloween,” Periwinkle tells him. “Now that we’ve got our costumes, let’s get over to Walter’s to get his Wish List for this year,” adds Periwinkle.

Walter & Friends Greet the Tabbies

Periwinkle and Stinky jump back into the teleportation and are whisked away. With the usual whoosh, they arrive in a field near Walter’s house where he and some of his charges are waiting.

“Hi, Periwinkle & Stinky, I thought I’d meet you out here among the fall trees, as it is such a gorgeous day. A few of this year’s house inhabitants decided to come along. The kitten is Dusty. The kitty with the big gold eyes is Minnie, and the shy cat in the back is Stanley.”

Periwinkle gives Walter the jack-o-lantern she brought, and Stinky hands over the banner. Walter thanks them.

The tabbies then walk to the other three cats and give each a nose boop in way of greeting. After that Walter suggests they walk back to the house so Stinky and Periwinkle can meet some more of the cats and Walter can give them his Wish List.

The Black Cats’ House

 

Spooky house with eyes blinking in the windows.

 

“Well, Walter, it looks as if you have a full house again this year,” says Periwinkle.

“I always do. You know we have to be careful this time of year and keep all the black cats safe. I really hope when Halloween is over that I can get everyone adopted in time for the holidays. Then I get to have a rest and make any house repairs I need prior to kitten season.”

“We’re going to go meet some of the other kitties and then we will get your Wish List,” Stinky tells Walter.

Walter replies, “That sounds like a great idea. I know many of the cats are anxious to meet you. Oh, I almost forgot to tell you how cute your costumes are this year.”

“I sure hope the other cats don’t think I am a real mouse,” Periwinkle says through giggles. “Or that I am a real bee,” adds Stinky.

The kittens set off to meet all the current residents, and Walter goes to his desk in the house to finish his Wish List. It is extra long this year, and he is afraid he’s asking for too much but will give the tabbies his list nonetheless.

When the tabbies return, Walter presents them with his list as well as some homemade tuna treats. While they are snacking, Walter apologizes for the length of his list and tells Periwinkle and Stinky that he does not expect them to get everything on it.

Stinky takes the list and tucks it into his costume without looking at it. He assures Walter that he and Periwinkle will do their best to get everything.

When the tabbies finish their treats, it is time to say good-bye until next week when they return with the supplies. There are paw hugs and nose boops all around prior to Periwinkle and Stinky heading back to the teleportation tunnel.

Walter’s Wish List

When they arrive at their tunnel, Stinky pulls the Wish List from his costume. He and Periwinkle read through it.

 

A shopping list of food and items for cats.

 

“Oh my gosh,” exclaims Periwinkle. “ This is a huge list. I don’t think we will be able to bring everything by wagons as we usually do. I think I will need to ask my brofur, Raz, if we can load up his plane and fly everything here.”

“Periwinkle, that is an excellent idea. I am certain he will agree to help us.”

“As long as he doesn’t have a Cat Scouts’ trip, I agree,” says Periwinkle. Stinky hands the list to Periwinkle, and she puts it inside her costume.

“Let’s get going, Stinky, I’d like to have a little visit with the kittens before I have to head home.”

The tabbies walk into the teleportation tunnel paw-in-paw, and are back at Stinky’s house in a flash. They both take off their costumes and set off to look for the kittens.

Napping Kittens

As usual, Audrey and Raleigh are found napping. Audrey opens her eyes briefly, but Raleigh continues to sleep. Periwinkle watches them for a while and then gives them gentle pets on the head before leaving them to continue their nap.

As she and Stinky had stuffed themselves with Walter’s homemade tuna treats, the tabbies decide to skip their usual snack and just hang out with the other Kitties Blue on the catio.

Finally it is time for Periwinkle to head home. She and Stinky share oodles of whisker kisses and paw hugs. With a wave Periwinkle enters her tunnel and is gone in a whoosh.

Stinky returns to the catio for a nice long nap.

The End

Stinky and Periwinkle are participating in the Happy Tuesday blog hop at Comedy Plus.

SUNPUDDLE BATHING & A SPARK

Kizmet has taken charge of the kittens. She determined that Audrey had not done a good job of washing her face, so Kizmet took over the task, as the two enjoyed a sunpuddle. If you enlarge the photo, you can just see Kizmet’s tongue to the left of Audrey’s right paw. Audrey often returns the favor and helps Kizmet bathe.

I think the way Kizmet takes care of the kittens is pretty darn awww-dorable. That’s why she and Audrey are joining the Awww Mondays blog hop at Comedy Plus. Click on the Awww badge to do the same.

I have posted this Spark previously, but I do think it is one worth repeating. It basically is telling us to be present in our lives at all times. I often go through my days just doing and not thinking. I have trouble living in the moment. As I continue to grow older, I need constant reminders that our time on earth is fleeting, and I should not just let it slip away.

The author of today’s Spark, Sai Baba of Shirdi was an Indian spiritual master, identified as a saint and a fakir. He was revered by both his Hindu and Muslim devotees during, as well as after, his lifetime. According to accounts from his life, Sai Baba preached the importance of “realization of the self.”

The photo is one of Dad Tom’s, which he took recently. In the background is Looking Glass Mountain, which is located in Transylvania County, North Carolina.

The Adventures of Periwinkle & Stinky

Your favorite cartoon tabbies, Periwinkle and Stinky, will be taking their next adventure tomorrow right here. These two active youngsters have barrels of fun when they’re together. Tomorrow they will be making their annual visit to their friend, Walter, who has a home for black cats, to get his Halloween wish list. Next week, they will deliver the items on his list. Periwinkle and Stinky will be wearing the costumes our readers voted for in the poll from two week’s ago. They really hope you stop by to see how cute they look and accompany them on their visit to Walter.

 

 

THE ADVENTURES OF PERIWINKLE & STINKY: PART CLVl

An At-Home Adventure

Stinky is pacing in front of the teleportation tunnel. Once again, he is worried Periwinkle will be disappointed in their adventure when she finds out they are staying at his house. Before he has time to work himself into a frenzy, however, the teleportation tunnel starts rumbling and ejects Periwinkle with the familiar whoosh. Stinky grabs her before she tumbles head first into the kitten enclosure.

She’s giggling as he wraps her in a huge paw hug. “What’s so funny, Periwinkle?” he asks.

“Oh, the teleportation tunnel was a bit wonky today and it kept tickling me,” she replies with another giggle.

“Well, I am happy you are in such a good mood, as I am afraid we aren’t going any place fun for today’s adventure,” Stinky tells her.

Periwinkle takes Stinky’s paw and replies, “How many times do I have to tell you, I don’t care what we do as long as we are together.”

“I know, but I like to take you to interesting places,” bemoans Stinky.

“I bet you have figured out something fabulous even if we are staying put.”

Miscellaneous October 11 Holidays

“You know I often try to plan something significant for the date of our adventure, but that didn’t work out this week. But I do have a couple of fun things to do before we get to my actual plans, as there are a few ‘miscellaneous’ holidays today.”

Periwinkle claps her paws and bounces up and down. “Oh goody, I love holidays. Will there be presents?”

“Not really that kind of holidays.”

“Phooey,” replies Periwinkle. “Whatever it is, let’s get on with it!”

Pet Peeve Week

“Okay. The first is Pet Peeve Week. Do you have any pet peeves?”

“I sure do, and it actually happens to be a pet. Reesie! Raz and I were doing just fine without her,” replies Periwinkle.

“Well, at least you don’t have eight furblings! What a pain in the tush. It peeves me when they try to take my place on the bed or steal my treats. And Astrid and Misty May really set me off when they go after my food. They are not supposed to have my medicine. But my biggest peeve is when Mom and Dad forget about 11 a.m. treat time. The really gets my dander up!”

“Wow, Stinky, that’s a lot of things to be peeved about.”

“I know, but like I said, try living with eight other cats!

International Face Your Fears Day

So, today is International Face Your Fears Day. What are your fears?”

”I don’t like loud noises or strangers. I usually hide from both of those things. How about you, Stinky, what are your fears?”

“I also don’t like loud noises. I don’t hide, but I always jump.”

“Aren’t you afraid of having seizures?”

“Not really. When they are over, I don’t remember anything about them. However, that is the reason Mom asked me to stay home today. I had another one at 2 a.m. Monday morning. I only made it one week again, which really sucks.”

Periwinkle wraps Stinky in a huge paw hug. “I am so sorry. It really stinks that you have those nasty things. I wish I had a magic potion that would take them away. But then, if you’d eat your noms, I know you’d have fewer of them.”

Take Your Medicine Americans Week

“Nice segue, Periwinkle. This week is Take Your Medicine Americans Week, which definitely pertains to me. And I promise to try to do better with my eating.”

“Thank you, replies Periwinkle.

Veterinary Technicians Week

“Finally, it is Veterinary Technicians Week. Now, I personally don’t care for anybody at the veterinarian’s office, but I know my mom and dad are partial to Tomika. And she does treat all of us very well.”

“Is that it? Are we going to have our at-home adventure now?” Periwinkle asks with a look of exasperation on her face.

Playing Dress-Up for Halloween

“Yep, and it does involve something you like,” Stinky tells her.

“Oh, goody. What is it?”

“Dress-up. We are going to try on several Halloween costumes and let our readers pick which one they like best for each of us. Then when we visit Walter and the black cats in two weeks to get their Halloween Trick or Treat wish list, we can wear what our readers selected.”

“Sounds like it might be fun,” says Periwinkle and gives Stinky a wink. “You do know what I like.” Periwinkle and Stinky get busy trying on several different costumes.

Recycled Mardi Gras Costumes

“Of course, you might like to wear the ballerina outfit you wore last Thursday for our ‘Modern Dance Misadventure.’ I know you liked that one. I’ve given our readers a link to that post, so they can check you out and vote for that costume if they’d like.”

“Good idea, Stinky. I do like that outfit. I wore it for Halloween one other year, but I bet no one remembers. Stinky, do you have a favorite of the costumes you tried on today?”

“I do, but I am not going to say. I don’t want to influence the voting.”

“Good thinking. I won’t tell my favorite either. Is it time for a snack and a visit with Raleigh and Audrey?”

“You bet. The sun’s out, so let’s have our snack on the catio.”

When they finish, Periwinkle plays with Raleigh and Audrey for a little while, but soon it is time for her to head home. After many whisker kisses, paw hugs and whispered, “I love yous,” Periwinkle enters the teleportation tunnel and with a whoosh is on her way home.

Stinky heads to his dad’s chair for a nice, long nap.

The End

The tabbies will be hopping over to Comedy Plus for Happy Tuesday. You can join them by clicking on the badge.

 

Please leave a comment and let Stinky and Periwinkle know which costume you like best for each of them. Thank you.

 

SCARY HALLOWEEN USIE

Sunday Selfies: Week #376

 

scary Halloween usie

 

We have what we think is a considerably non-scary usie today. It’s rather silly and lame in our opinion. What do you think? Our mom wanted all seven of us to put on costumes and do a “groupie” photo. However, even when it comes to virtual costumes, we are pretty uncooperative. We think we look best in the fur!

Anyhoo, we are at the mercy of Mom and her nutty ideas, since we neither know how to type or create “art.” Well, that isn’t entirely true. We can type. We just stink at spelling!

Enough about us! It is time for you do either trick or treat us depending on what your mom or dad required you to do when it came to your selfie. The link to add your Halloween or non-Halloween selfie, usie or groupie is below. Also below, you will find a link to a puzzle of this silly photo.

As a reminder, all anipals are invited and encouraged to join us, and the hop remain open through Thursday.

Remember to stay inside tonight and away from the door when your humans answer it to give out treats. It’s a good evening to stay UTB.

Purrs and paw-pats, Cooper Murphy & Sawyer

GHOSTLY HALLOWEEN ART

Caturday Art

 

ghostly Halloween

 

The art effect makes this look like Sawyer, but it is actually Kizmet. Last night she crawled under a fleece blanket I had over my legs and lap and settled between my legs. The photo is one of several I took at the time.

With tomorrow being Halloween, I used a seasonal effect, Ghostly Halloween, from Painnt. I changed the hue from grey to orange and added the hard light effect. The frame is from piZap.

Kizmet will be dropping over to Athena Cat Goddess Wise Kitty’s blog to join the Caturday Art blog hop. You can do the same by clicking on her badge.

I did create a puzzle for you.

Sunday Selfies Reminder

Kitties Blue have agreed to post some selfies in virtual costumes tomorrow. If you have been following us for any length of time, you know our gang is not keen on “real” costumes. If you’d like to join in the fun, please do. Of course, it is not a requirement. But we think it is always fun to do something unique with our selfie photos.

There may be a lot of activity around your house on Sunday evening with trick-or-treaters, so we suggest getting you selfie snapped and posted early so you can have a good, long easy on Sunday afternoon.

See you tomorrow!

THE ADVENTURES OF PERIWINKLE & STINKY: PART CVI

If you received this post prematurely, Stinky & Periwinkle apologize. Must have been some Halloween goblins messing with things. Here is the complete post. 

 

Visiting Walter and the Black Cats

Stinky is more excited than usual as today he and Periwinkle are visiting Walter and the black cats to deliver their annual Halloween “treats.” They visited last week to get Walter’s list of needs, and Stinky knows Periwinkle has been looking forward to delivering the items just as much as he has. As soon as Periwinkle comes tumbling out of the teleportation tunnel, she grabs Stinky’s paw. Without even a hug or a whisker kiss, she pulls him back into the tunnel, so they can get to Walter’s right away.

 

 

When they arrive, the two take a moment for some paw hugs and whisker kisses and to admire each other’s costumes, which Stinky has provided.

 

 

They notice a huge group of black kitties waiting for them on the back deck and Periwinkle exclaims, “Wow, Stinky, look it is an entirely new group of cats. Let’s go meet them.”

 

Walter black cats

 

When the cats see Periwinkle & Stinky, the cat in front speaks up. “All the kitties you met last year have been adopted. We are waiting for our forever homes after Halloween. We will be safe here until then. I was selected to introduce all of us. I am Onyx. The others are Blackie, Sooty, Smokey, Ebony, Coal, Inky, Jet, Raven, Bat Man, Shadow, Pepper, Smudge, Midnight, Ash, Salem and Stormy.”

“Those are such wonderful names,” Periwinkle tells them, and then all the black kitties share head bonks with Periwinkle and Stinky.

The Treats Arrive

Suddenly, all the felines hear multiple whooshes from the teleportation tunnel. When they look, they see numerous wagons filled with supplies come flying out. Instead of pulling the wagons themselves, Stinky had his mom load them after he and Periwinkle left for Walter’s and then send them through the tunnel.

 

 

“Holy cow,” gasps Onyx. “This is amazing. You two little cats are so generous. Thank you so much.”

“We cannot take all the credit. The Cat Scouts helped by donating lots of the items,” Stinky tells Onyx and the other cats.

“And the Tabby Cat Club helped as well,” says Periwinkle.

“We are all so lucky,” the black cats proclaim in unison. Onyx then invites Periwinkle and Stinky to come inside to meet the other new residents and have a snack. When they have eaten and visited with all the cats, it is time for Periwinkle and Stinky to head home.

The two tabbies share oodles of paw hugs and head bonks with Walter and the black cats before entering their tunnel.

Upon arriving at Stinky’s house, Periwinkle spends some time visiting with Stinky’s parents and fursibs. Finally it is time for Periwinkle to head back home. She and Stinky share lots of whisker kisses and paw hugs before she enters the tunnel and is gone in a whoosh.

Stinky retires to the catio for a nap and to dream of his beautiful and sweet girlfriend.

The End

Stinky and Periwinkle are participating in the Happy Tuesday blog hop at Comedy Plus.

 

 

 

THE ADVENTURES OF PERIWINKLE & STINKY: PART CIV

As usual Stinky bounces from paw to paw awaiting the arrival of his girlfriend Periwinkle. He can’t wait to share today’s adventure with her. The moment she tumbles out of the teleportation tunnel he grabs her in his paws and gives her a huge hug and oodles of whisker kisses. He doesn’t even give Periwinkle the opportunity to catch her breath before he grabs her paw and leads her back into the tunnel. Moments later they arrive at their destination.

Visiting a Pumpkin Farm

Periwinkle’s eyes grow wide when she sees their surroundings.

“Stinky, look at all these pumpkins. I’ve always wanted to visit a pumpkin patch. Do we get to take some home?”

“Yes, we do. After we look around and snap some photos of ourselves, we can select a couple to take home.”

“Oh, goody. Do we get to carve them as well?”

“No, Mom said cats cannot use knives. But we do get to draw faces on our pumpkins,” Stinky tells Periwinkle. “Now let’s look around.”

 

tabbies pumpkin farm

 

“It sure would be fun to drive this tractor,” Stinky tells Periwinkle.

She agrees, but neither cat is interested in having to move all the pumpkins and hay bales to make it driveable.

From the tractor, the two move on to a photo op with a hay bale disguised as a jack-o-lantern.

 

tabbies pumpkin farm

 

“Oh my cat, Stinky what are you wearing?”

“It’s my Frankenstein’s monster mask. But how did you know it’s me?”

“Your red high tops, of course! But please take that mask off. It is really scary.”

Stinky complies, and the tabbies move on to pick out some pumpkins.

 

tabbies pumpkin farm

 

“Stinky, there are so many pumpkins to choose from. I don’t know which one I want.” Stinky tells Periwinkle that she can have more than one pumpkin. They just need to make certain the pumpkins are smaller than the size of their tunnel entry.

The tabbies search for quite a while and then select a few pumpkins to take home with them. Not wanting to drag each to the tunnel, Stinky and Periwinkle find a wagon to help with the transport.

Once they load all their pumpkins into the tunnel, Periwinkle and Stinky jump in and with a whoosh take off for Stinky’s house.

Decorating Jack-o-Lanterns

When the tabbies arrive at Stinky’s, they get Stinky’s dad to unload the pumpkins and take them to the catio, while Periwinkle and Stinky have a snack and visit with Stinky’s fursibs.

Then it is time to decorate. Stinky gets permanent markers from his mom and the tabbies begin drawing. When they finish, they show each other and all the other Kitties Blue.

 

Periwinkle’s Jack-o-Lantern

Stinky’s Jack-o-Lantern

 

“Periwinkle, your jack-o-lantern is so pretty. Are those flower earring she is wearing?” Stinky asks.

Periwinkle has a twinkle in her eye as she replies,”I am so happy you like it and quite impressed you know the flowers are earrings. I like your design as well. Your jack-o-lantern looks so happy.”

“Thanks, Periwinkle! My design is so much simpler than yours it gave me time to decorate another one. Would you like to see it?”

“Of course, silly,” says Periwinkle.

 

Periwinkle claps her paws together in delight and gives Stinky an enormous whisker kiss. She tells him, “I love it, Stinky. You are so a romantic!”

After visiting for a while longer, it’s time for Periwinkle to head home. She tells all the Kitties Blue and Stinky’s mom and dad, “good-bye.” She and Stinky spend several minutes sharing whisker kisses and paw hugs. Then Stinky helps her put her jack-o-lantern and his pumpkin for her in the tunnel. With a final wave and whoosh Periwinkle is on her way home.

Stinky retires to the catio for a nap, so he can dream about Periwinkle and another purrfect adventure.

The End

Periwinkle and Stinky are joining the Happy Tuesday blog hop at Comedy Plus.

 

 

ME-YOWL-O-WEEN ART

Caturday Art for Halloween

Not only is today Me-Yowl-O-Ween (if you are a cat), but it is also Halloween, a full moon and a blue moon (second full moon in the same month)* and the night we turn our clocks back. That’s a lot for one 24-hour period. Plus, it is the day for Caturday Art.

As you would expect, I have some holiday appropriate art for Athena’s blog hop.

 

Me-Yowl-O-Ween

 

I pretty much threw everything into my creation but my trick-or-treat bag of candy corn and dark chocolate, peanut M&Ms. Here’s a partial list of how I created this. I began with a Halloween picture I colored with the Happy Color app. Then Lisbeth, the Kitties Blue jack-o-lantern created by Marvelous’ mom, Barb Kowalik, and the ghost with boo sign jumped into the picture with the use of piZap. From there I manipulated the colors and texture in PicMonkey by using several different effects and filters.

Lisbeth will be participating in Athena Cat Goddess Wise Kitty’s blog hop, and she invites you to join her. Just click on Athena’s badge.

 

If you are planning on participating in any Me-Yowl-O-Ween or Halloween activities, please stay safe. Wear a mask and practice social distancing. No candy or treats are worth contracting coronavirus.

Sunday Selfies Reminder

We will be here on the first Sunday in November, as we are every Sunday, to host our selfies blog hop. All anipals are invited to join us. And you don’t even need to post on Sunday to participate. In fact you might want to get those selfies taken now just in case you fall into a treat coma sometime tonight. We truly appreciate our regular hoppers, and newbies are always welcome.

See you again tomorrow.

 

 

* The next blue moon on Halloween will not occur until 2039.
