Super Meowdel Competition

A BEAUTY WITH BUTTERFLIES

Sunday Selfies: Week #623

 

A beautiful white and black cat isurrounded by a frame with butterflies.

 

Lisbeth is a bit miffed at me. She claims the frame I selected for her selfie is upstaging her. I totally disagree. The green tones enhance her eyes and the tilt of the butterflies draw the observer into the photo. Though, Lisbeth turns 15  in less than a month, she is still a beauty, especially with the boo-boos that were on her ears healed. Don’t tell Kizmet, but I think Lisbeth is strong competition in the Super Meowdel Competition. Youth doesn’t always win out!

Hopping Time

Anyhoo, Lisbeth hopes you like her selfie. She knows she will like yours as will all the other Kitties Blue. You can link up with us through Thursday. If you know any friends who might enjoy our hop, please let them know that we would be delighted to meet them. Kitties Blue love making new friends.

Lisbeth and I will not be staying awake until midnight, so she will officially join you on the hop in the morning.

Giveaway

To celebrate our 14th blogoversary, we promised to give away two copies of the anthology, Purrseverance. We received 17 comments on that post. I used Random.org to select the winners. They are: Floki and Frankie’s dad, Charles Huss (Bad Cat Chris) and Angel Madi’s mom, Cecelia Upchurch (My Mind’s Eye). Congratulations to the winners. I will be contacting you soon by e-mail.

Thank you for dropping by to see us today. We wish you a purrfectly peaceful and easy Sunday.

 



SUPER MEOWDEL RETURNS

Sunday Selfies: Week #622

I hope y’all are happy to see me today. Those kittens have been hogging the blog and not giving the rest of us the opportunity to show off.

Yesterday, however, Mom helped Cooper Murphy and me take several selfies. This one of me was the best of all of them, so  I procured the honor of being your host today. And, it was about time! I last appeared on the blog on June 28. And, the last time I had a selfie was May 16 (week #613 of the hop). Now, I ask you: Is that any way to treat the resident Super Meowdel? You bet your @$$ it is not!

Look at this selfie. I am purrfection. If you agree, tell my mom in the comments and demand to see me more often.

Please Hop With Me

All right, enough of this caterwauling from me. I showed you my selfie, now it is time for you to show me, the other Kitties Blue and all your friends your selfie.

You know I will be hanging out here through Thursday if you don’t post on Sundays or are busy doing other fun things today. And whether you hop or not, I thank you for visiting today and wish you an easy and cuddlesome Sunday.

Purrs & paw-pats, Kizmet

p.s. We super meowdels need our rest to look our best, so I will be joining the hop in the morning, but don’t wait for me to link up.

p.p.s. Don’t forget to tell my mom you have missed me and want to see more of me in the future.

 



SUPER MEOWDEL RETURNS

Sunday Selfies: Week #613

How you missed this pretty girl?

Kizmet has not hosted Sunday Selfies since the beginning of February. Hence, she informed me it is her turn to show off her super meowdel good looks, as she knows you have missed her. Her selfie could have been better, but she was in front of the window, as she’d been watching birdies on the feeder visible just behind her. Nonetheless, she is really hoping you like it and are happy to see her today.

She definitely would like to see you, as would all the other Kitties Blue, right here on the hop. As always, you can join her anytime through Thursday.

Whether or not you hop, we definitely appreciate you stopping by to see us. Now, go have an easy Sunday!

 



BELATED GOTCHA DAY SELFIE

Sunday Selfies: Week #592

A sun-kissed Kizmet is here today so we can celebrate her Gotcha Day, which was on Friday.

If you stop by regularly, you know we have been on a mini-break. Though our quickly growing terrorists are down from eight to six in number, they are just as much work, especially as we are giving both groups time to play in the bedroom, laundry and bathroom. It’s a two-ring circus with Tali and Gibbs and a four-ring one with the others. Some of the adult Kitties Blue are occasionally reluctant observers! But enough about them … for now!

Kizmet’s Fifth Gotcha Day

If you didn’t know or have forgotten, Kizmet was Dad Tom’s and my Christmas present to ourselves during COVID in 2020. Her original name was Janet, and I first saw her on PetFinder. She was six months old. Because of the pandemic, we weren’t even allowed to hold her until after we adopted her.

This is her first photo (and selfie) after arriving at her forever home. It was week #332 of the blog hop. Neither she nor any of the rest of us had any idea she would turn out to be a super meowdel!

We have a card for her.

We have lots of beverages as well.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

As we did not post yesterday, Kizmet has a puzzle for all the jigsaw fans. Hope you enjoy it.

Hopping Time

So, it is now time for you to snap your own selfie and hop along with us. We always enjoy seeing your sweet faces each week. Now, we know it is a busy time of year for everyone, so if you cannot get by today, we understand. As always, the hop remains open through Thursday, which is also Christmas Day. So, if you want to dress your selfie up with a special frame that would be cool, but not mandatory.

Whether you are hopping today or not, Kizmet, all the other Kitties Blue and I hope you will party with us for a while.

The Adventures of Periwinkle & Stinky Reminder

We are reminding you a day early about our Tuesday post, as we will be taking another day off tomorrow. This will be a special adventure, as it is Periwinkle’s Gotcha Day on Tuesday. We know you do not want to miss that, as we are pretty certain Stinky has planned something special for her. And, you will be able to find them right here.

Thanks for joining us today. Have an easy Sunday and a terrific Monday, and we’ll see you Tuesday.

 



KIZMET IS POUTING & A SPARK

Awww Mondays

 

A grey cat, named Kizmet, is huddled under a quilt and pouting.

 

Kizmet is pouting after seeing yesterday’s post written by Lisbeth. She admits that Lisbeth looked stunning in her selfie. She also is truly worried about losing her Super Meowdel title. I have tried to explain to her that there is room at the top for two Super Meowdels. She’s having none of it. It appears as if the competition continues.

Kizmet will be participating in Sandee’s Awww Mondays blog hop over at Comedy Plus. You can to the same by clicking on the Awww badge.

 

Sparks

Today’s Spark is from a Pink t-shirt. She is my all-time favorite, female singer and entertainer. I believe it needs no additional explanation from me.

 

 

Sparks is the creation of Annie from McGuffy’s Reader. It 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.

The Adventures of Periwinkle & Stinky Reminder

Tomorrow is the special day when our two tabby adventurers, Periwinkle and Stinky, set out on a new adventure. This is Periwinkle’s week to plan what they’ll be doing. That means you will need to check out their adventure at Friends Furever. Please don’t let them down. They’ll be looking for you to share in the fun.

Thanks for joining us today.

LISBETH’S REGAL SELFIE

Sunday Selfies: Week #575

I think Kizmet needs to relinquish that Super Meowdel crown and pedestal that she thinks is hers in perpetuity. There is absolutely no way she can compete with my selfie for today.

Check out my stunning green eyes and regal pose. Paws down, I am the most beautiful. I don’t know why Mom did not put a crown on my head. Surely, I deserve it. If you do not agree, let me know in a comment.

As I look so stunning, I insisted Mom make a puzzle of me, as a bonus for all you jigsaw addicts. We know some of you shy away from puzzles with pieces of this shape, but they actually are often easier than those with standard-shaped pieces. Anyhoo, I hope if you try it, you will have fun completing it.

So, that’s all I have to say. Mom can fill you in on all that hopping stuff.

With sincere thanks for stopping in to admire me today as well as purrs and paw-pats,

The Super Meowdel Lisbeth

Lisbeth might just be right. Purrsonally I think she nailed that Super Meowdel persona and beauty with today’s selfie. But, like she requested, let her know in the comments what you think.

Hopping Time

It’s time to do that hopping thing we do each week, and Lisbeth and I really hope you’ll join in the fun. It’s easy as well as a great way to make new friends or reconnect with old ones. After all, more friends means more fun! We love those of you who join us each week and show off your cute and purrfect selfies. Of course, you all know we are not the only ones who look for you each week. So don’t let your admirers down. Link up anytime before 11:59 p.m. on Thursday. We’ll be looking for you.

Thanks for joining us today. We appreciate each of you so much for sticking with us for all these years.

I’M BACK!

Caturday Art

 

A photo of a grey cat announcing, "I'm Back!" from a cat tree is turned into art with the Rainbow Waterfall effect from Painnt.

 

Are you surprised to see me again today. One would think I am the only kitty living here. Of course, you know I am not, but I am the one who spends the most time pestering Mom (and Dad too). Yesterday, I sat on Mom, kneaded her belly and washed her face again and again. And I sat on the back of her chair above her head and then in the cat tree next to her.

Every other one of the Kitties Blue spent the day on the catio! They have no idea all the love they were missing out on or the opportunity to be the subject of today’s art.

To create my bright art, Mom used the Colorful Waterfall effect from Painnt. She increased the contrast but otherwise did not change anything. The frame is another from the favpng app.

I did get Mom to create a puzzle to share with you all.

Now, I will be joining Athena Cat Goddess Wise Kitty on her Caturday Art blog hop. If you would like to take part as well, click on Athena’s badge.

So that’s my part of this post. I am turning it over to my mom for the Sunday Selfies Reminder.

Thanks for joining me today.

Purrs & paw-pats, Kizmet

Sunday Selfies Reminder

I am relatively certain that most of you do not need this reminder. But, as we may have new readers, I like to make certain that those who visit today know about tomorrow’s hop. A strong possibility exists that Kitties Blue may have a two-fur for you. And you know all eight of the gang will be looking for your selfie. So, we hope to see you right back here tomorrow or anytime through Thursday.

Thanks again for coming by today.

LIFE ON A PEDESTAL & FILL-INS

HAPPY INTERNATIONAL CAT DAY

International Cat Day 2025 Sticker

 

We did not do anything special this year to celebrate, but you can find some ways to do just that by checking out the web-site, New Eleven.

If you missed the post two years ago when Periwinkle and Stinky celebrated International Cat Day by inviting blogging kitty friends from all over the world here to Virginia for a huge party, check out “The Adventures of Periwinkle & Stinky: Part CXCVI.”

We do wish all our kitty friends a purrfect day filled with love, cuddles and extra treats!

Feline Friday

Kizmet believes no other kitty can possibly knock her off this pedestal nor replace her as Kitties Blue super meowdel. I have a tendency to agree with her!

 

A beautiful grey cat on a pedestal cannot imagine a better life.

 

Kizmet looks so stunning she thought you might like a bonus puzzle featuring her.

Kizmet will be heading over to messymimi’s meanderings for the Feline Friday blog hop. To do the same, click on the badge below.

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 participate in the hop, click on the badge at the left.

I was left all on my own to complete the fill-ins this week. Thankfully, they were not too difficult. As I always do, I used teal italics for my fill-ins. Explanatory information is in parentheses.

1. Anyone who can play a stringed instrument is a genius in my book.

2. I find baseball boring. (I equate it to watching paint dry. The other spectators are always more interesting.)

3. I wish I had anyone’s ability to run or jog. (I have never been able to do either of these due to my neuromuscular disease.)

4. Reading often distracts me from everything else.

So that’s it for today. Thanks for popping in to see us. We’ll be back tomorrow with some Caturday art and another puzzle.
