Friendly Fill-Ins

Happy Friendly Fill-Ins Friday, friends! If you're up to filling in the fill-ins but missed them yesterday, we'll share them again here. Ellen of 15andmeowing came up with the first two, and I came up with the second two.

1. For Halloween, I want to be _________.

2. _________ makes me feel like royalty.

3. On a dark and stormy night, I _________.

4. If I had a witch's cauldron, I would stir up a potion for _________.


My fill-ins are, yet again, all about the furry cuties!

1. For Halloween, I want to be a cat lady.
(I wear my costume year round.)

2. Evan makes me feel like royalty.
(Evan is a momma's boy to the max. When I get home from work, he is the most likely kitty to come running to the door—you know, in his hind limb paralyzed sort of way. He's also the most likely kitty to be watching my every move, to be gazing at me longingly, and to be slow-blinking kisses at me. Evan wants to be by my side every chance he gets, and that makes me feel all shades of special.)

3. On a dark and stormy night, I curl up and snuggle with my furbabies.
(I actually enjoy storms, but only, of course, when they're not violent and destructive. I especially enjoy settling into a cozy seat to read or write while listening to the rolls of thunder. That is, as long as said thunder isn't so close and booming that it's rattling the windows or the roof over our heads. I guess that means it's distant thunder that I like. What's more, none of my furbabies around here are afraid of storms or the thunder that they bring, so they're always happy to hang out and cuddle with me during a storm.)

4. If I had a witch's cauldron, I would stir up a potion for instant homes for the homeless.
(This potion would work for any and all homeless individuals, furry and human alike. They could just take a sip of this potion, and poof!, they'd have a home. I wish I could whip up that kind of magic.)

Now it's your turn!

Tomorrow, October 20th, is Tocktober day. This is the day that many of us in this blogosphere show off some tushie tocks in honor of Angel Derby, a handsome mancat whose birthday was October 20th. Derby's blogging legacy continues on with his brother Ducky.

But, since tomorrow is also Caturday Art day, on which we typically share doodles only and no photos, we're participating in Tocktober a day early. Given that it's Friday, and Fridays are Eddy's day to take over this blog, Eddy agreed to show off her (predictably blurry) tocks today. Ready?

That shot is just a tease, isn't it? Wait a sec, we have the real deal for you to enjoy. Here you go!

Those tocks might be blurry, since blurry is indeed Eddy's typical style, but Eddy is proud to show them off nonetheless.

Happy Friday, friends!

Our Doodle of the Day:

We have yet another Halloween bookmark to share with you all today.

And, we yet again bestowed upon this bookmark a corny saying we found online. Actually, this one's so special it got two silly sayings.

Our Tip of the Day:

We're 19 days in, and our Halloween tips are still going. After all, we have 31 of them to get through! And, indeed, we have another Halloween-inspired tip for you today.

Yesterday, we mentioned the importance of keeping black cats, and of course all furbabies, indoors on Halloween to prevent them from becoming victims of tricks and pranks. Today's tip is similar, and it is to avoid going on a walk with your dog, or even your kitty, during trick-or-treat hours. This is for a number of reasons, including the obvious one that foot traffic, and even potentially car traffic, will be increased during trick-or-treat hours. This is something that could pose a risk especially for skittish dogs or cats, as they might become frightened of the Halloween hustle and bustle. What's more, not only will more people be out and about on Halloween night, making extra traffic and noise, but many of them will be dressed in strange and potentially frightening costumes. These factors could lead a nervous dog or cat to panic, and to potentially get loose and lost. Of course, increased traffic could also lead to accidents and injuries, such as if a nervous or excited dog or cat gets loose and makes their way into the street. All in all, it is important to always take into consideration your furbaby's safety, which might very well mean house arrest during those trick-or-treat hours on Halloween night.
