Hola kittens! Thanks to everyone who sent comforting messages and purrz on the passing of Aunt Pauline. TW tried to pass them onto Uncle Neil who needs a lot of loving.
I love my pal Summer but she wrote a somewhat misguided post this week about why humans should train their cats. Summer is a rock star among cat bloggers and her human knows everything there is to know about cats and is an expert on human/cat bonding. I hate to contradict them ever but I couldn't let this one pass. My humans don't have me trained; I have them trained. I can write the book about why humans need to be trained.
FRIENDLY FILL-INS
Now it's time to join the Friendly Fill-Ins, a weekly feature held at this time, which is already in progress. Our hosts—15andmeowing and Four Legged Furballs need no innerductions as they are giants in the cat blogging world. They think up the fill-ins and I fill in the answers which are underlined and in italics. Any further comments on my part are in italics. Each week my image relates to one of the fill-ins. Today it applies to number two.1. I feel like the peeps should eat more protein. They don't eat hardly any meat anymore so I can't grub anything offa them. Also they have no energy cause those protein bars they eat don't do nothing.
2. I wish I could exchange TW for Beyonce. Heh heh! Wouldn't that be cool? We'd make such a stunning couple. I'd travel with her and be in her videos.
3. It's time for me to retire and enjoy being a cat.
4. Retirement is really tempting these days. Since Aunt Pauline died, TW said she lost the will to blog.
Very cool art CK! I've got my momma trained pretty well - but she needs some more work in the food sharing department!
ReplyDeleteIt's true - my human misbehaves a LOT! I really don't have her under control like you, CK. At least she keeps the litter boxes clean, but I think it's more for her aesthetics than mine.
ReplyDeleteYou are right, it is the cats who train their humans. I love the bold colours in your art, and thanks for the puzzle.
ReplyDeleteDon't retire, I would miss you too much!
We understand when the will to blog wanes; so take a break, and come back when you want to. We'd miss you, but we all have been there.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful art...thanks for the puzzle!
A good post as always CK but we sure hope you don't retire, we'd miss you something awful. What's up with TW? We saw your post of FB and are worried.
ReplyDeleteOur cats train us, not the other way around, you are not alone. I love the art CK!
ReplyDeleteHealing hugs to Uncle Neil.
ReplyDeleteI love your fill-ins. Humans do need training. I agree.
Have a purrfect day and weekend. ♥
Ahahaha that is so true, Keisha, about the training, our cat Franklin has us trained really well . . . great answers, and I really love the art. Pictures with bold colors are some of my favorites!
ReplyDeleteYep! We definitely train our humans! Your art is really cool today.
ReplyDeleteWe're got Mom pretty well trained!!!

I think my cats have me trained pretty well, I'm sad to say.
ReplyDeleteYour art is fabulous! Please don't retire...we need you guys! And loads of purrs and prayers to TW...we're worried about her.
ReplyDeleteWe love your art this week, CK! And you’re right...us cats need to train our humans well. We think we’ve done a pretty good job training the mom.
ReplyDeleteI am glad you get treated like a queen, as you should. Thank you for participating in the fill-ins, great answers except I am sorry that TW lost the will to blog. I can understand because she is missing Aunt Pauline. Thank you for the beautiful puzzle. XO
ReplyDeleteHey CK! Wes knows how TW feels. Its really difficult. It tooked Barb a while before she could thinks about blogging. But she should do what her hear feels. Wes knows that yous guys has the bestest ART for Artsy Caturday! Even when wes was NOT blogging, wes came to sees yous\!
ReplyDeleteWes really TW is OK and wes sends virtual hugs! (and TW too)
Purrs
Marv, Jo Jo, Kozmo, Cinnamon Angel Nellie (and Barb)
It's really hard to train humans, they are sort of dense. It was much easier to train the dogs. We have finally tumbled onto the method of allowing Mommy to think she is training us. Healing purrs for TW we hope she is OK.
ReplyDeleteWow... that's such amazing art!
ReplyDeleteCK we LOVE your Art! You are the most beautiful ever!
ReplyDeleteOur Angel Buddy had Dad trained the same way. Morning, Noon and evening meals MOL
Don't let her take any breaks CK. When my Human took a "break" it basically lasted for about two YEARS. (Well, since she's been unwell, she can have a break till she recovers. But no longer!) XOXOXO
ReplyDeleteOops! I meant *your* Human can have a break till she's back to 100%! Mine was pretty under the weather back in May, but she's back to being a PITA now ;-) XOXOXO
DeleteThe humans here are trained, for sure, CK. We sure hope you don't retire. Sending lots of love and purrs for TW, you and Pop.
ReplyDeleteAs always, CK, your art is as stunning as You!
ReplyDeleteNow, about exchanging TW for Beyonce and being in her videos: surely it should be the other way around? We think Beyonce should be furry grateful for being allowed to be in YOUR videos!
Oh yeah, these two think they have me trained, but little do they know it's quite the opposite!
ReplyDeleteYour 3rd answer made me MOL, CK. Your artwork is Stunning as ever. Soft Pawkisses to comfort your family🐾😽💞
ReplyDeletePs we have done everything to make our site working purroperly again, but don't know if you can visit us, because it still has some issues that we can't fix. Sorry🤷♀️
Hi my danger-girl! Hope things are going OK at Casa CK! Sending you all my very best purrs! And yes, Summer is a smart kitty by she dinitely got this backwards!
ReplyDeleteAs always, I love your art. But this week turned out extra special. 25 pieces of kibble?! Dang, girl, you should be glad. Some days I get 3 pieces of kibble as a treat. THREE! And not even every day! We're sending purrs to TW. We hope it helps her heart.
ReplyDeleteBoy oh boy..that's a subject that's constantly debated around here. I don't know who trains whom, but as long as I eat, have toys, adoring fans, friends, and freedom to do what I want...wait, that does sound like humans are at my beck and call..!! Comforting purrs for Uncle Neil from all of us and CK, TW has those same purrs coming from us, too. Give her our love..Tom, Bridget, Penny & the housekeeper xxx
ReplyDeleteWe're sending you and TW continued purrs and prayers, CK. Your Aunt Pauline was an amazing woman, and we have no doubt she's smiling down on you.
