Did you miss us yesterday? If so, I’m sorry Kitties Blue and I were not here to entertain you. Sometimes I just need a day off. Add to that the fact that my poetry mojo took the day off as well, skipping the post made purrfectly good sense.
Feline/Friendship Friday

Kizmet is back again today giving me the stink eye while sitting in the Cat Lady subscription box. Each box comes with two cat toys. Kizmet believes those toys belong to her. When she found both toys had been removed from the most recent box by another of the Kitties Blue, she was not amused. Of course, she assumed I was to blame!
In spite of her displeasure, Kizmet agreed to join the Feline Friday and Friendship Friday blog hops at Comedy Plus and Create With Joy, respectively.
Friendly Fill-Ins: Week #220
Kitties Blue and I like to participate in Friendly Fill-Ins each Friday. It’s hosted by Ellen (15 And Meowing) and Lorianne (Four-Legged Furballs). If you’d like to participate, you can find the four sentences to be filled in each Thursday on their blogs. Friendly Fill-Ins is a blog hop. To join the hop, click on the badge.
I had to get a lot of help with this week’s fill-Ins. I’m grateful for Stinky/Sawyer coming forward and taking care of all but #4. We all used teal italics for our fill-ins. Explanatory information is in parentheses.
1. Sawyer: A fun way to celebrate Christmas in July is to receive lots of extra treats.
2. Stinky: My favorite summer activity is going on adventures with Periwinkle. (Of course, I enjoy doing this all year round.)
3. Sawyer: When I sleep, my dreams are of Noelle.
4. Fire scare(s) me more than anything else.
We will definitely be back tomorrow with some Caturday art and a jigsaw puzzle. Kitties Blue and I hope you’ll join us again then.
Hi there,
When folks head out of town for vacation, their four-legged family members are often left behind.
If they’re like me, they have a trusted pet sitter to take care of their furry friends, but for first-time pet owners or anyone who hasn’t been on vacation in a while because of Covid, setting up their home for a pet sitter could add stress to their trip prep.
Can I write an article for your site to make it a little easier for them? I’ll offer tips and advice on how to set up a pet sitter in your home when traveling–from finding and vetting candidates to what to provide in your home for them to pet care protocols and more.
Would love to get started on this piece for you! Just let me know if you’re interested.
All the best,
Susan

P.S. Reply with “New topics, please,” if you’re open to receiving an article but didn’t like the above suggestion. And simply let me know if you don’t wish to hear from me again.
Such a gorgeous cat- I would be spoiling him! Cheers!
Whoa!
That stink eye stopped us in our tracks!
Maybe you can go hunting for the toys you are supposing that are missing…you just might be able to snag them back:)
Kizmet is a cutie. Thank you all for participating in the fill-ins. I enjoyed your answers. And I hope you all get some treats. XO
You’re looking mighty cute sweet Kizmet! Those were really good answers too.
That is a real stink eye!
You’re giving mom the stink eye indeed. You do need to share though, Kismet.
Love your fill-ins. You always make me smile.
Thank you for joining the Feline Friday Blog Hop.
Have a purrfect Feline Friday and weekend. Scritches all around, a smooch to Cooper Murphy and Sawyer and a big hug to mom. ♥

You have to check with the other cats that live with you, Kizmet, and get your toys back. ~Ernie
MOL no doubt about what she’s thinking in that photo.
As often happens, our Fill-in answers are a lot like yours today!

Boy, that is the best stink eye we have seen, EVER. FELICITATIONS,
That’s a gorgeous image of Kizmet; shows her cattitude!
Well, even if your Mom didn’t remove the toys, she LET someone else do it, so either way, she’s to blame. Right, Kismet? XOX Xena, Lucy and Chia
I bet that Cat Lady Box would be a hit if it arrived empty.
That box is a present even without what was inside Kizmet – you fit it perfectly and even though SOME KITTY took the toys, I bet you can still SMELL them!
Hugs, Teddy
Good answers and a cute picture of Kizmet … Hopefully she does get a chance to play with the toys!
