Feline Friday
This was supposed to be my Sunday Selfie, but my mom said I had to post it today. She also said I had to confess to being a naughty cat. I refused to come in from the catio for dinner two nights in a row. Last night I managed to hide so that Mom couldn’t find me. I wedged myself into the very back of the bottom cubby of the cat tree on the upper deck. My fur color just happens to match the covering on that tree. Until Mom got down on her belly and shown the flashlight into the back of the cubby, she couldn’t see me. Of course, I wouldn’t come out. She had to drag me out and haul me into the house. Did I mention that it was 10 p.m. by then.
I think you know by now that I am not a social cat, and I do hide often. Even so, Mom said that she does not appreciate me scaring her yet again.
When I came in the house, I started romping around and acting goofy, as if nothing unusual had happened. She thought that was pretty insensitive of me. But I am a cat, and I make no apologies for my behavior. I also will let you decide if you think I was naughty or just stubborn.
Purrs and hisses, Raleigh

Friendly Fill-Ins
Time again to let you know a bit more about Kitties Blue and myself by completing the weekly fill-ins. Ellen (15 And Meowing) and Lorianne (Four-Legged Furballs) host the Friendly Fill-Ins blog hop. On Thursday they each select two sentences to be filled in by hop participants. You can find those on both blogs. Enter the hop by clicking on the graphic.
My usual helper, Sawyer, took over for me today on fill-in #4, and his cartoon alter-ego, Stinky, completed #2. Thanks, boys!
We all used teal italics to complete the sentences.
1. This weekend, I plan to finish washing the front porch.
2. Stinky: Spending time with Periwinkle never disappoints.
3. I once saw our cat, MacKenzie, standing at the backdoor alongside a possum as if to ask, “Can I keep him?”. (I will find the photo and share it sometime in the future.
4. Sawyer: You’ll never hear me say, “I don’t want any treats.”
So, that’s another week of filling in. We will be back tomorrow with some Caturday Art. Hope you’ll join us again then.
You just sound like a regular cat to us. Purrs, Snoops and Kommando Kitty
Chia: Raleigh, do you mean those hisses? I don’t really mean my growls and fussing at Lucy, but it does upset Mom and Dad.
Lucy: Possums are good for the environment. Good McKenzie! (Mom had to teach brother Andrew not to kill or hurt them, and he has reformed and never hurts them now.)
Raleigh, I would not allow you in the catio for 2 weeks after that. Thank you for participating in the fill-ins, great answers from all of you. I would love to see that photo. XO
Those were all good fill-ins and Raleigh, you’re just being you pal.
Raleigh, you might not be sociable, but you don’t wanna miss dinner!
We think you were a bit naughty hiding like that. Moms get worried when they can’t find us.
Periwinkle was thrilled with Stinky’s Fill-in answer and Raz agreed with Sawyers!! We’re MOL @ the possum story.
Well Raleigh – you are a sneaky boy and while I’m sure it’s all a fun game to you to hide like that, your poor Mama has to worry so much when she can’t find you!! Remember – “never bite the hand that feeds you” – and even though in your case you’re not actually BITING you are certainly pushing the limits!! Don’t make Mom worry – be a good boy. 🙂
Hugs, Teddy
You are a naughty boy worrying your mom like that, Raleigh!
We wonder why Raleigh is so ‘antisocial’? Poor dude…
One would think after all this time, that he’d be more accepting of the love that is proffered…and all the good life he has since becoming one of the Kitties Blue.
Raleigh, you rascal, you!
