Hi Everyone! No moaning from me today – I know a lot of humans who moan on Monday but we stay-at-home ani-pals don’t mind Mondays much. Besides, so many swell things are going on, why not SMILE to start the week right?
First of all, I wanna thank all of you who have already sent in your Sam-O-Ween costume photos – I can already tell that this is gonna be a TOUGH competition. And thankfully I’m not going to have to pick the winner because YOU will be voting in a poll for the winner NOT ME. It’s not too soon to get your photos to me though – Mom’s started the poll with the entries we have so far – that makes the whole thing easy to load up when we get ready for the voting.
I also received a way cool and cute award yesterday from my friend Nylablue – this one is certainly “tailor-made” for me and comes with no rules and no requirements – but it’s so way cute I think ALL of you should help yourself to it if you’d like to display it – – – – ESPECIALLY all of you who love bacon like I do !!!! THANK YOU NYLABLUE – you’re the best!
I’m wondering if I should petition the Cat Scouts to see if they might consider instituting a “BACON EATERS BADGE” to be awarded to all Cat Scouts who demonstrate a true love and devotion to this delectable delight??!!!!
Speaking of Cat Scouts, even more of you have joined lately and we’re connecting there not just in my Group (Warrenton Wilcats) but just as Friends! It’s fun and I’m working on more badges already – one in Basketry in particular. Woo Hoo…….
Something else I keep forgetting to do (although this is MY blog and not my Mom’s) is give her a nice “plug” for her mystery novel which is available on the sidebar in either Kindle format (for a cheap $2.99) or from Amazon as a paperback. Yep – Mom had a great book signing LAST weekend where she sold bunches of copies but I you’d like to get your very own, just pop in on Kindle to download it OR order from Amazon. I hope it’s OK to say that even though I’m afraid I can’t read I understand from lotsa people who do that it’s a really great mystery book – takes place in a small town (like MY town) with a female private investigator (like my Mom wishes she’d been when she was younger) who gets involved in several interesting mysteries all starting with a simple little background investigation for the owner of a big horse farm that leads to a MURDER investigation! WOW……the little town is loaded with interesting characters too – just like my town is – and there’s even a touch of romance (yuck) which my Mom says is always good to write into a good mystery plot.
Tomorrow is Teaser Tuesday so I’ll see you here at the usual time………..be purrrrrpared (which happens to be the Cat Scouts motto!!!!) ……………I know you will!

BE PURRRRPARED FOR TUESDAY TEASER TIME!!
We can see bacon awards and bacon badges taking over the blogosphere 😀

Hi Sam, Have you checked Cat Scouts for a private message from Mauricio. He sent it last night. It is super important. He is so happy you are as enthusiastic as he is. While he is lobbying to get a napping merit badge, you should be lobbying for that bacon one. Nylablue is the best! Always so thoughtful. We are glad she’s our honorary sisfur. Purrs and hugs, Lily Olivia, Mauricio, Misty May, Giulietta, Fiona, Astrid, Lisbeth and Calista Jo

Hi!!! Yes I got Mauricio’s message and sent one back – we’re UP for a new troop……I’ve got people who have joined Warrenton Wildcats but I gather lots of us are joining LOTS of different troops not just the ones we signed on with. I’m UP for anything – Scouting is so much fun!!!! Napping should be a badge for sure so why not bacon? I may try to get that one going too…..say – we have RAIN today – wonderful, wet RAIN…..maybe it will save Fall??? Hope so!

Concats on the award. I’ve only had bacon once and didn’t eat it. OMC, is it costume time already? Do they have to be real costumes or can theybe photoshopped? I have to dress up for Nipclub’s Halloween pawty this Caturday.

Hi CK! Photoshopped costumes is the only way to fly as far as I’m concerned. Mom would get very tired of trying to wrestle me into a REAL costume that’s for sure! There are a lot of pawties happening this Halloween and if you get photoshopped into an embarrassing costume for one party – you can probably use it to enter others!! Like MINE for instance……tee hee. Have fun at your other party this weekend CK.
