Four Legged Furballs

1. My favorite place to read is while sitting in the library.

The quietude is just the best place to gobble up books.

2. My favorite genre to read is British mystery, especially police procedurals.

Especially enjoy the audiobooks, narrated by delightful folks with lovely accents.

3. "The Beekeeper's Apprentice" is a book I could read over and over again.

What can I say?  I'm a Sherlockian, as The Great Detective enjoyed his retirement.

4. The book series "Dresden Files" inspired me to let my book-loving geek flag fly by joining FB groups with others who feel the same.

Am now a member of many author and book groups; it's so much fun to yammer away about our newly found favorite book, or genre, or anything Outlander, Rebecca Yarros, Tana French, Anthony Horowitz, etc.

Sweetie's Solensia shot vet visit showed that she's lost a tiny bit of weight.

We'll work hard to get her to eat up, and those shots are a huge help to her.

Thankful Thursday

We are so very thankful for a few cat gifts!

My sister gifted us this adorable plate...thank you!
It will join my 'blue cats' collection near the front door.

 If you don't visit Four-Legged Furballs Blog, then you are missing out!

Lorianne and her furry crew are incredibly entertaining, and daily feature a doodle or two.

Awhile ago, I boldly asked for a custom doodle, and look what arrived...along with cat toys and adorable cat lady items too!

It's an Eastside Cats Doodle!

Looky, looky!  Isn't this adorable?

What are you thankful for today?

Toy Synchronization

We received wonderful gifts from Four-Legged Furballs in October, including two black catface silvervine cat toys, which I posted about in Halloween Prezzies.

Well, funny thing.  Manny and Chili Bruce tend to play with these two toys in tandem, so we find them all over the place...together!  Kinda cute, when we think about twin black cats, playing with twin black catface toys!  

Need I mention that Da Boyz are simply the cutest, most adorable cats EVER?  💕

Halloween Prezzies!

🎃😺🎃😺🎃

Look what arrived from Four-Legged Furballs!

Thank you, Four-Legged Furballs!

A Halloween tote, a HUGE package of Temptations treats, two packets of cat-nip toys, and some candy that didn't make it to the photo shoot...hahaha!

Can you just imagine a photo of Manny and Chili Bruce, each playing with a black cat toy?

P.S. I am still in a week-long class, but there is plenty of downtime, surprisingly.  Am trying to visit all blogs to comment, and you all are posting great things these days!  Yay!

Friday Friendly Fill-Ins

Friendly Fill-Ins

1. & 2. are from 15 and Meowing, and 3. & 4. from Four-Legged Furballs.

1. My neighbors _________.
2. The last thing I purchased online was _________.
3. I have never _________.
4. Anything is possible if _________.

My answers:

1. My neighbors are pleasant people, who are okay with The PO'M and Sweetie hanging around our yard AND theirs.

2. The last thing that I purchased online was a City The Kitty Against Declawing t-shirt.

3. I have never shied away from speaking my mind regarding the abolishment of legal declawing.  I talk to people on the street, in line at the grocery store, to friends of friends, and just about anyone.  Do I make people mad?  I try not to, but I suppose that I do.  Do I care?  Nope.

4. Anything is possible if you can envision it, and work hard to make it happen.

And now for some gratuitous neighborhood kitty photos!  This is Sly, who lives about a 15 minute walk from Eastside Cats.  When I call to him, he comes a'running, and I really enjoy that!  His humans take terrific care of Sly and his brofur Sneakers, and I just love these two kitties to bits!  However, I am glad that I'm not the one brushing all of that stuff out of Sly's long fur...

Ain't he gorgeous?
