Feral Friday: Paying It Forward

Hola kitties! Did you enjoy your week? The peeps got their old codger flu vaccines and TW nicked some new pens. Heh heh! We've been hearing the phrase paying it forward. TW always hopes when someone does something nice for her, she can pay it forward; but it seems like an idea rather than a fact. This week we had two examples where paying it forward paid off.

One of the neighbors on the Next Door app axed about a certain very expensive toy for her cat to enjoy herself independently (and quietly) during the night. This neighbor had gone to the store for TW at the beginning of the pandemic. Anywho, someone mentioned an automatic laser toy instead of the expensive item. TW remembered she had one I wouldn't play with. She packaged it up and the neighbor picked it up. TW paid back her neighbor's kindness. End of story or so we thought.

At the same time, my good Twitter pal Pumpkinpuddy read my blog how I had no toys and my FB post that Chewy didn't have a certain toy I wanted. They said it was discontinued. 

Package for CK! Pumpkin had her mom order the toy for me from a different seller. We gave a toy—actually two cos TW threw in a treat ball—and Pumpkin sent me two new toys. Thank you Pumpkin! I hope you get something in return from somebuddy.

Friendly fill-ins

How about some 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 three. 

1. My go-to place to purchase cat-themed items is The Animal Rescue Site. They are a little expensive but my purchases go toward feeding shelter animals and by animals I hope they mean CATS.

2. Hearing of a cat getting a forever home immediately improves my mood.

3. I think the house across the street is really spooky. Some days we'll see a lot of action around the house but the lights are never on at night. Other times when we're convinced no one is living there, all the lights are on. They might be fixing the inside up and showing it. I don't know who'd want to live in a huge house like that which looks so spooky even if the view is fantastical. When it was a rooming house, a roomer blew himself up in his car outside the house. I think his ghost might still be in there.

4. I wish I had a magical potion for TW. I also wish the doctor had a magic potion for TW. After chemo, radiation and a host of other things, the secondary tumor keeps returning.

Caturday Art

I usually only use my own art as my art entry. All rules are meant to be broken and this week we waved bye-bye to it. Here's another pay it forward story from last week. No puzzle today but we'll try to have some up by the weekend.

Our blogging friends at the Eastside Cats axed if I could paint the dearly beloved and departed Paddy O'Malley. You may have seen one or more of the paintings I did on their blog. We loved the PO'M too. That same night while I was painting the PO'M, I got an email from Marvelous Marv saying he'd like to paint ME! One good turn, er, painting deserves another! Thank you to Eastside Cats for letting me paint the PO'M. Thank you to Marv and Barb for this amazing piece of art. We love how all the art turned out!

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.
