What's that Crazy Woman Up to Now?

Wait till I tell you what TW did this time! I know she's very busy with all the on-line shopping and doctor appointments before her insurance gets cut off, etc. but she pulled a good one. Actually she's done it more than once.

Party Like It's 2018 #ChewyInfluencer

Today is Cyber Monday when all good cats and kittens will make their humans go online to buy prezzies for them. It's also time to look ahead to the new year—2018—and who doesn't want to be a calendar model such as myself (see my 2018 calendar at the end of this post)? Calendars make great gifts whether you celebrate Christmas, Chanukah, Kwanzaa, Cat Herders Day, Festivus or some other religious or ethnic holiday. There's a perfect calendar for everyone on your list. At the end of the post, I'm going to give you a chance to win a pet calendar of your choice.

Merry and Bright Art

Here's a piece of pop art I started back in July 2015 and never finished it until last night. For some reason, it reminds me of cotton candy. Perhaps I'm just hungry cos TW starves me.

Black Friday Fotos and Fill-Ins

I know today is Black Friday cos I've given TW a list of stuff I'd like for Christmas. Thank you for taking a moment away from shopping to come visit with me. If you happen to be in a pet shop, I invite you to spend a few green papers on your favorite stunning tuxie cat! This is kinda an inebriated post so TW can get to work ordering presents for The Cat.

Giving Thanks For You

Greetings, salutations and Happy Turkey Day! I want to begin by telling everybuddy how thankful I am for YOU—your friendship, your support, comments, sharing and likes. You make this blog the labor of love it is. It would be nothing but me talking to myself without you and for that I am forever thankful for you.

Giving Thanks For You

I'm also thankful for the roof over my head—even if they made a toxic, smelly racket for about five months installing it—and the food in my bowl, both wet and kibble, though I wish there was a lot more kibble.

Flossing My Teeth

Dear CK, I've noticed that you have such a nice smile and your teeth and gums look so healthy. Can you tell me your secret?—Fluffy, Evanston, IL

That's a great question from "Fluffy." The World's Most Stunning Cat—me—must keep a beauty routine. Most of my stunningness comes naturally but I can't neglect my pearly whites. My best features are my eyes but there's nothing like a beautiful smile. I like to make a game out of caring for my teeth.

Tricks for Creating Images for Your Blog

I'm going to do something different this week. We're gonna do some work in the computer room rather then in my art studio. I got my Mac all set up so gather 'round. I want to share with you how I created the lead image for Wednesday's post. It required a couple of steps although if TW wasn't so lazy, she could have done it all in Photoshop. Are you ready cos I'm gonna reveal all my virtual design secrets right here … right now! All you PS experts can have a chuckle at this.

Hide and Seek With Fotos, Facts & Fill-ins.

It's been a busy week in the condo. Last minute doctor's appointment—for TW, not me—that was a waste of valuable time and other stuff to keep TW busy. Plus, I have a guest coming to see me this weekend so TW has to do some cleaning. We wanted to do some simple posts this week but it seems whenever TW is planning on a simple post with few words, we wind up with an evergreen post. That's how our post about caffeine came about as well as the hiccup post a few months ago. Have I got you ready for the Flashback Friday Foto Frenzy and Friendly Fill-In spectacular?

Instinctive Love #ChewyInfluencer

I'm a house cat although I fancy myself living fancy free in the jungle. Let's just say I'm a semi-feral cat who has discerning tastes. I also trust my, ahem, instincts when I eat. I love fish and I love the taste of fresh raw meat that I get when I sink my fangs into one of the peeps. For that reason, TW has been afraid to switch me to raw food.

Instinctive Love #ChewyInfluencer

We still don't have an answer if my eating raw food and then biting them would lead to infection or the loss of one of TW's typing fingers. It's no secret that TW is also a nut about disinfecting the entire kitchen after she cooks any kind of meat. She definitely isn't looking forward to doing the disinfecting routine after every one of my meals.

Why Cats and Caffeine Don't Mix

Yo kittehs! I am wide awake this Monday morning. I bet you can't guess why. Can you? Can you? Huh? Huh? Oh sorry I'm repeating myself. I guess I can't hold my beverage as well as Cupcake holds her whipped cream. I didn't get to go to the cafe like Cupcake though. TW went out with Aunt Pauline and all I got was this empty, uncolored cup.

Retro Art From My Blue Period

Am I blue? The answer is of course not. My art just has me looking a bit blue and I accentuated it by using some blue and pink colored lighting in my gallery. Pretty wild, isn't it? We're showing some older art that never was featured cos TW needs to is spending much too much time picking out a new health insurance plan.

Not Quite Winter in the Big City Fill-Ins

The weather is finally getting colder here in the city. My fur coat is filling in and TW is pulling out her puffy jackets. She even had to turn the furnace on for a brief time Wednesday night. The PSE&G guy who was supposed to be checking our furnace was here and gone in about two minutes so I've got my paws' crossed that all systems are go. We're all ready to go here so let's start with some Flashback Foto Frenzy picks and then do the Friendly Fill-ins on this Friday.

Cross Words About Crosswords

In case you've been living under a rock, The Cat is being seriously ignored. I'm being ignored all the time and for no good reason. Yesterday was the same but different. TW went out at about 11:20 a.m. promising she would only be gone a couple of hours. She rolled in at 5 p.m. That's a lot more than a few hours. Then her behavior got even more puzzling.

A Selfie With TW

TW bought a nice new outfit for Halloween. I thought you'd like to see it and since Kitties Blue told me their Sunday Selfies hop was open until Thursday, I thought I'd strike a pose with her.

Dona Nobis Pacem

We are once again participating in the annual BlogBlast 4 Peace. This is the 12th year for this pawsome event and I've been doing my part since 2011. Mimi Lenox, the founder, wanted to know what would happen if the entire blogosphere posted about world peace on the same day using the same title. It hasn't changed the world—yet—but it's provided some creative and wonderful images of peace. The theme this year is Finding Peace in Overwhelming Times. We came up with this post before we learned of the theme and it sure fits.

November Foggy Flashbacks & Clear Facts

Yep, kittehs, it's November! It's 21 days until Turkey Day and 53 days until I get Christmas presents! OK, I get presents every day month but I mean wrapped presents addressed from someone named Santa at the North Pole. I'm not sure how he gets in here but I'm sure some day I'll get to bite him on the ankle. You don't have to wait another day to see my Flashback Friday Foto Frenzy or read my Friendly Fill-In answers. That's coming up NOW!

Why You Should Invest in a Scratching Post Rather Than Declaw Your Cat #ChewyInfluencer

Why do you suppose cats have claws? Maybe you think they are only for destroying your new couch. Claws are one of the most important parts of a cat's anatomy. In addition to using them to defend ourselves, they aid in hunting. While stalking prey, we use them to climb, to aid with balance, jumping and marking territory. Indoor cats might not stalk live prey, but those skills enable us in our daily play. Just as importantly, sharp claws also give us confidence.
