Cat Charmer?

 It's Walkin' and Readin' Wednesday!

I met four cats in one day on my neighborhood walk; enjoy this video.

Recent audiobook listens that I recommend:

Argus's Kitty Cat Kill Sat

Lily has been the captain of a space station for hundreds of years, after civilisation has fallen.

But she's no pussycat.

Jasmine Mas's Villains of War Duology

1) Blood of Hercules

2) Bonds of Hercules

The Gods are not on the side of anyone but themselves, and Alexis knows she's a pawn in their game.

Until she changes the game.

T. Kingfisher's The Saint of Steel series

1) Paladin's Grace

2) Paladin's Strength

3) Paladin's Hope

4) Paladin's Faith

When their god dies, and the bond breaks, the men and women of the Steel Paladins are cast adrift in life. 

Each book follows a different character, as they each seek new places in the world.

Magic, war, romance, friendship, and the true meaning of following one's heart.

Providing A Service

It's Twozday, and Da Boyz have found their cold-weather napping locations:

Manny, on the pink-blue chair, in a sunpuddle.

On MY CHAIR, inelegantly sprawled.

Manny, getting smoochies.

Manny, top, and Chili, bottom, in the huge cat beddy in the parlor.

 Once I've got a fresh cut of hot tea, my audiobook, and an empty bladder, Da Boyz and I can spend hours together in MY CHAIR.

They snooze, as I while away my time as their human cat bed with a book and phone solitaire, or scroll social media, watching videos of thatched roofers, furniture and painting restorations, rock collectors, cat rescues all over the world, and bagpipe music.

Oh, it's heavenly!!!

It's PO'Monday!

The weather is so changeable in November, as was the case in 2019:

Paddy on my lap, drooling under the overcast sky.

Then, there was snow!

After the snow melted, and the sun came out, Paddy O' tended to his bath, whilst on my lap again!

This cat taught me so much.

I loved him with all my heart, and he loved me right back.

Those green eyes, his goofy antics, and we snuggled at every chance.

Two For One

It's Selfie Sunday!

Henry couldn't decide which of these made him look cuter, so he insisted both be included today.

Playing Hard to Get Henry.

Carmine

It's Caturday!

CB is again my model; he was napping on the Pink Blue chair, with sunlight keeping him warm from the window.

Using Prisma's Bonsai filter, then the Cartoon filter, and this combo appealed to me.

Bonks

It's Inside Feral Friday at Henryville!

And looky looky...

Henry just cannot help but bonk bonk bonk my shins, and he was busy enough to allow me to pet his tailio!

Henry is also purring; did you hear him?

Henry, you da MAN!

😻😻😻

P. S. Thank you for the kind comments in honor of our wedding anniversary, and for mourning Celestial Chuck.

❤️

Love Furever

November 20 is a special date at Eastside Cats:

Celestial Chuck earned his angels wings on November 20, 2017.

The Hubby and I married on November 20, back in the Pleistocene era.

He's been my rock, my partner, a comedian, and fellow instigator.

I am his energy booster, debate coach, and stubborn advocate.

Happy Anniversary, dearest!

Am thankful and humbled by your love.

❤️ ❤️ ❤️

Also, Henry received gifts from The Tooth Fairy!

The turkey drumstick was taken for a romp 'round in Henryville today, and anything that rolls is his favorite toy...to kick under the desk.

Thank you, Ellen @ 15 And Meowing.

Yay Men!

On this International Men’s Day, I want to take a moment to thank ALL of the amazing men who have supported and uplifted me throughout my life. 

Your love and guidance mean the world to me.

❤️ ❤️ ❤️

Soapbox Rant:

There is a crisis in this country and in others, where young men feel isolated and are unsure of their place in society.

This predicament is not CAUSED by women, but rather by a overarching sentiment that men are basically near-Neanderthals, and that traditionally male jobs/roles have evolved, without men being taught how to cope.

And everything that's wrong with the government, the legal systems, the fact that automotive companies MUST make vehicles that can drive themselves because humans are too dumb to do it without crashing, IS NOT the fault of men.

WE...together, arm in arm, of all skin colors and backgrounds, EVERY gender, are in charge.

We really are, yet we're being lead down a path because older generations taught us to respect authorities which often do NOT have our best interests in mind.

It's time to shed the chains of traditions, and "we've done it this way for generations!"

Helping our neighbors, buying from small and local businesses, recycling, doing unpolluting things, are HUMAN TRAITS, and for the benefit of ourselves, the flora and fauna, and our planet.

It's going to be difficult, yet the end result is everything.

HE/SHE/THEY: Let's work together!

Peace ~ Love ~ Earth

It's Twozday!

Manny and Chili Bruce continue to enjoy MY chair, whether I'm sitting in it or not.

Am not there, but they've taken over the ottoman.

AM there, and my leg is a pillow.

Yet when The Hubby is cooking up something in the kitchen, they awake in a blink to stand guard, hoping to cadge some morsel.

Which is funny 'cause we are vegan, and the only meat around here comes in cans.

Leaf Like

It's PO'Monday!

November, 2014, and Celestial Paddy O'Malley was enjoying the fallen leaves.

He liked being petted.

He liked sunshine!

He liked to wait for me on the front porch.

Paddy was one-in-a-million.

❤️ 🍁 😻

An Imposter!

Had forgotten about an adorable ceramic cat statue that we were gifted many years ago.

It sorta looks like Henry, so I put them together, for a double-selfie effect.

At least they have matching tailios.

On Patrol

It's Caturday!

Here is Chili Bruce, on top of the fridge while intensely watching something out the window.

Used my Prisma app, with the Hot Tea filter.

November 14 is National Pickle Day.

Oooh, I adore pickles, and have collected a few sillies from social media that made me laugh:

This one is for you, Ellen Pilch @ 15andMeowing!

🥒 🥒 🥒

Y'all go enjoy a pickle or three today.

Be Gentle

November 13 is World Kindness Day and Mr. Roger's Cardigan Day.

A few collected quotes that match the day:

Pasta can solve any problem; this I believe!

'Hood & Books

It's Walkin' and Reading Wednesday!

Some images from my time outside:

A wee bit of Northern Lights on November 5.

Sunday, November 9, it snowed overnight, then the trees dropped leaves.

A neighbor set up a Good Dog station, with water, dog treats, poop bags, and chalk to leave messages.

Recent audiobook listens that I recommend:

Carlene O'Connor's County Kerry Mysteries.

Dimpna Wilde has left Dublin and driven back to her childhood home of Dingle.

She's needed as a veterinarian, as her father's animal practice is failing due to his declining health.

Until she runs afoul of Detective Inspector Cormac O'Brien.

Book #4 Come Through Your Door involves a ruthless stalker who turns his sights on Dimpna.

Dan Brown's Robert Langdon/Da Vinci Code Series.

Book #6 The Secret of Secrets was another terrific puzzler, with action, bad guys, shady corporations, and a real twist on the mysterious man tracking Professor Langdon through the streets of Prague.

Lauren Biel's Slaycation Series.

Even serial killers need a break from work.

Book #3 Ship Happens takes place at sea, where old friends who kill for a living enjoy all the booze, good food, and games they want, but wait...is there a federal agent hiding amongst them?

Adult situations, handfuls of humor, and a few deaths of only really bad people, honest!

 It's PO'Monday!

2017 was a good year, since Celestial Paddy O'Malley was nicely rounded in early November.

❤️ ❤️ ❤️

Liberation

November 9 is World Freedom Day.

World Freedom Day is a United States federal observance to commemorate the fall of the Berlin Wall and the end of communist rule in Central and Eastern Europe. 

We honor all who've served to make our world a more peaceful place.

Sunday Selfies!

My 'hood boyfriend Sly is just so photogenic, and he graciously offered to be our model today.

Coned

It's Caturday!

Came across this November 2004 pic of Celestial Angel, just after her spay surgery, and she was wearing a cone.

She looked so forlorn, but when I removed the cone, she'd lick at her stitches, thus the cone was put back in place.

That was 21 years ago, and she flew to the Rainbow Bridge almost five years ago when she was 15-1/2 years old, yet she'll always be my baby girl.

I used Prisma's Sea Horse filter, because of the pink blush.
