Feral Friday: August Angst

Hola kitties! This kitteh is only a teenager in human years but I'm suffering plenty of angst. If you look at how many bloopers, you can understand part of my angst. I can't get good help. I can't go where I want. I can't do what I want. I can't bite who I want. They think The Cat doesn't know how to behave herself around open flames and pipes. I shall explain and then I have photo fails, fill-ins, art AND remembrance of my Rainbow Bridge furrends. Phew! I think I need a nap.

The peeps rarely go into the utility closet which also houses the HVAC stuff and the water heater. They rarely go in there cos a certain Stunning Cat will sneak between their legs and go in there where it's dusty and houses all kinds of sensitive equipment they say cats shouldn't be nosing around.

However, every time they go in there one of them will leave the door open and walk away. Enter The Cat. After my partial entry was thwarted, I retreated to my Tunnel of Pain to snoopervise. We needed good material for this post so she decided instead to take these shots of my expert snoopervision. 

I think she should have taken pics of my attempt to sneak in there.

Pet Photo Fails

TW was clicking pics as I stood near the Tunnel of Pain snoopervising Pop vacuuming out the utility closet, which I had previously been thwarted from entering. 

TW was using zoom so as not to have to get too close. I don't think she's used the zoom in years. She flashed me; so, with a look of disgust, I turned the laser eyes on her. 

So she took the pic looking down at me. It's a fail cos you can't see my stunning face. You can still see the look of disgust.

Anyhoo, it was taking her so long to focus the automatic focus camera for the third shot, I got bored and started washing my paws. You might notice that many of my fails involve TW not capturing my face.

The Pet Photo Fails blog hop was created by Roby Sweet, who sadly is no longer with us, and is now graciously hosted by Mudpie and Melissa over at Melissa's Mochas, Mysteries and Meows. I'd like to see your fails so link up on her page so we can all get a laugh out of them.

Friendly Fill-ins

It's now time to snoopervise 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. My answers are boldface. This week my image relates to fill-in number one. It also could be 2 and 3 since I am stunning and my scratching post is in the upper right of the image.    

1. I plan to sleep these last few days of August.

2. I am a stunning cat.

3. Using my scratching post is proving difficult these days. I guess my claws are getting a bit long and they do get caught again and I do have to pull and pull to get free. TW mentioned taking me back to the stabby place to get them cut again but Pop said they shouldn't put me through that trauma again. I agree with him.

4. Have I ever told you about the time that I crawled under the dishwasher? Apparently, I'm not allowed to go there either. I mean, it's not like I made it start leaking.

Caturday Art

You've all read the book or heard the song "one pill makes you larger and one pill makes you small." The cat version would be something like "One Leaf Makes You Larger" which is what I call this art. I'm referring to nip and how large my normally large eyes are. Kittehboi's nip can do this to ya.

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.

Rainbow Bridge Remembrance Day

Tomorrow is Rainbow Bridge Remembrance Day. As well as remembering the cats who came before me: Faith Eddy Girl, Chizzy, Nicky and Autumn, I'd like to remember a few of my bestest Twitter anipals who went to the RB this past year: Daffy, Lily Lu, Boris Kitty, Tiny Pearl Cat, Newt, Topaz, to name a few. The image below was lovingly created by Jodie Rosenthal and revised each time an anipal gets his or her wings. You can biggify the image.

Rainbow Bridge Remembrance Day was founded in 2015 by Deborah Barnes, award-winning author and blogger of Zee & Zoey’s Cat Chronicles in tribute to her Ragdoll cat, Mr. Jazz, who she had to say goodbye to on August 28, 2013. She shared the journey of letting him go in her critically acclaimed book, Purr Prints of the Heart – A Cat’s Tale of Life, Death, and Beyond and decided to create the day in his honor as a way for others across the world to share memories of their own pets they had loved and lost.
