Hola kitties! I've been remiss on posting flashbacks so I'll post one today to make it up to you. Today's flashback is from March 2014; back when life was simpler for our peeps. Even though I have my tummy showing and despite the post title, I am not looking to be tickled.
Remember Tickle Pickles? The company is unfortunately out of business now. I believe we first saw Tickle Pickles on Summer's blog, which was hosted by Sparkle at the time. I needed one! When I finally had my own, I couldn't get enough of it. So much nip, so little time!
This is from one of the shoots we did with me lovin' on it. I don't think we ever posted about it though. What am I eying in this slightly out-of-focus photo? HAH! TW cropped it out! (She goes cray-cray with the healing brush in PS. She may crop me out someday.) You can faintly see it under the banner in the lead image. When TW heard they were calling it quits, she bought a few more pickles that I totally ignored. That's the way I roll. You can forget that cwap that cats are scared of pickles though.
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. This week my image relates to both fill-in number three and four.1. I like being the boss of the peeps. They pretty much do what I want. The other night TW read me the riot act cos I wanted to get up at 2 a.m. and then 3:15 a.m. Whenever she hears me cry, she best get up and walk me to my food. The next night, she got it right and spent all night walking me back and forth. I rewarded her by eating my gut rot in the morning.
2. I don't want to eat gut rot, but I have to. It's got pumpkin soup which is supposed to help me do certain things in the litter box so I don't have to get my glands expressed.
3. I'm counting down the days until my Gotcha Day. That will mean 2020 is well in the rearview mirror and so is some of the excess baggage, if you know what I mean. The peeps are looking forward to an event that happens the week before my Gotcha Day.
4. Every year is a lot like the one before. I just hope there's not another year like 2020.
Caturday Art
Many of you complimented my art last week so I used the same process. I cropped a photo in tight and then used my oil paints to make it happen. Presto! We have some stunning kissable art and a stunning kissable puzzle. Just don't boink my nose cos the paint is still wet I don't like that.
Caturday Art is hosted by the lovely Athena Cat Goddess Wise Kitty and her mum to showcase the latest art by anipal artists using the many different digital apps, Photoshop or original art.
I always love your art, CK! I wish my human had gotten more of those pickles when she could... but she didn't.
ReplyDeleteThose were really good answers and of course we love your art CK! Hugs from all of us.
ReplyDeleteLovely art! I'm off to puzzle; thanks.
ReplyDeleteWe humans are obsessed with making sure our kitties do the correct amount of pooping and peeing, CK...you'll just have to make the best of it!
Good answers and I really like your art again this week, CK! The soft colors blend nicely together!
ReplyDeleteLove the flash back and I love the fill-ins especially #1.
ReplyDeleteHave a fabulous day and weekend. ♥
I would love to chance my arm petting your belly! I have always been up for a challenge.
ReplyDeleteI love your art again this week, and thanks for the puzzle.
Hopefully by the time your Gotcha Day comes around it will be more peaceful and less orange.
We had a a couple of those tickle pickles too. They were not a favorite and we stick with our Nippy Nanner. Nothing like those bad boys. Loved seeing you dear girl

We agree! We hope there's not another year like 2020.
ReplyDeleteWe have a tickle pickle, CK. We hardly play with anymore.
ReplyDeleteLove the painting. We have some Tickle Pickles around here somewhere. They were great.
ReplyDeleteTickle pickles were the best! I'm sorry they are no more.
ReplyDeleteThank you for participating in the fill-ins, great answers. How kind of you to reward TW by eating your gut rot. My Emmy likes a snack at 2 AM sometimes too. I usually comply. I love your art. We never ordered a pickle, but I crocheted smaller ones. Thank you for the puzzle. XO
ReplyDeleteWe remember Tickle Pickle! Beautiful artwork and great Fill-ins. Thanks for the puzzle

What is this...You DON'T wanna be tickled? And there's that tempting tummy? You tease! Not fair.
ReplyDeleteI definitely control my mum. She does everything I want and it's great!
ReplyDeleteAmazing kissable art :)
Yeah, we've known you long enough to know tickling your belly is not a good idea, CK! Yes, big time on hoping there's never ever another year like 2020.
ReplyDeleteYour art is wonderful - as always, CK.
ReplyDeleteBut how can you be such a Tease about the tummy tickling (mol)?
Would I lose my entire hand if I tickled your tummy, CK? It just looks so soft, stunning, and inviting! Your Gotcha Day will be wonderful, CK, as will seeing 2020 come to an end. Purrs!
ReplyDeleteOoh, such beautiful art today. And let's all hope fill-in #4 is the Truth!
ReplyDeleteThe Human says that tickle pickle looks ever-so-faintly obscene! Ha ha ha Humans have the dirty minds, don't they? And as always, your Fill-Ins are the best! Back in our spurt of posting last month we were doing them and then this week she forgotted all about them even though I *tried* to remind her. She never listens. We can't WAIT to see the backside of 2020 (and of some other things too!) XOXOXO
ReplyDeleteIs your Gotcha Day the end of January? I know the housekeeper has a couple of big events then and they're both on the same day!! I like the pickle you have but I never got one..I really don't need any since I have a bunch of catnip "vegetables" that I go crazy over. - Tom xoxo
ReplyDeleteHey CK! Wes missed commenting! But wes are back!
ReplyDeleteHappy Thanksgiving to you and yours from us and ours!Here’s hoping that whatever you do today brings you delight from morning until night. May the holiday bring you nothing but wonderful things in abundance.
Purrs
