The Mega Pawsitive Fundraiser

PushPurrCatPaws Such gorgeous pix. Thank you for sharing! I love fog. Here is some from the last time we really had any:

 

[PushPurrCatPaws]

You are welcome. There are definitely special days when it is just amazing to live on this planet.

 

[tarasgirl06]

PushPurrCatPaws : Truly! I love the spider webs, too. When I was small I would go all over our pretty large back yard, visiting all the webs and looking at the beautiful big garden spiders. They are so amazing! *And as you say, EVERY day is Hug-Your-Cat Day, which makes EVERY day amazing.*

*Tarifa agrees 100%*

tarasgirl06 - Three years ago, I had a Garden Spider decide that my back door was the perfect place for her orb web. I had to keep the French doors into the living room and foyer closed most of the Summer so I could use the front door.





Pawsitive: the storm's just wild out there right now, and as Blanding once said, "...and I am snug by my fireplace."

kittyluv387 You made it!! Everyone, I bragged on you-all here in this thread to kittyluv, such as you @maggiedemi !

Fabulous photos, my goodness!! I was so far behind that if I'd purraised all of you I'd have knocked the alerts part of the software to its knees LOL

Positive, it REALLY looks like an October day outside, all blustery, cloudy, with leaves blowing everywhere!

Here's the mountain view from the house, zoomed in just a teensy tad
Big Poppycat says hello, even if the photo doesn't do his tail justice
I found this little cookbook during the Great Paperwork Cleanout
The Hunters Moon, -- and --
A Cold Bats Moon LOL

Your cat is beautiful! Here's my black beauty:

Tonight I'm making linguine al vongole (?). It's really simple to make and delicious. Hardest part is scrubbing the clams.

kittyluv387 - "Linguine al(le) vongole," is right; a Neapolitano tradition. Now who are these two beauties, and why don't we see them plastered all over the Photos Forum threads?






Pawsitive: I had some peppermint patties just now for the first time in ages - and Moo Shu didn't lick the peppermint filling out of them! It sure was cold out on the patio though.

[Furballsmom]

Thank you!
Heck, I'll be your clam scrubber LOL
See kittyluv387 , now that gorgeous tail shows up beautifully

Positive, I have a sleeping cat, and he is all fed, content, quiet, peaceful, calm, wonderful.

 

[tarasgirl06]

1CatOverTheLine and good on ya about the spider. I go out of my way not to disturb them, too, even when they're inside. Unless I have to.
Furballsmom *Pure BLISS*
kittyluv387 1CatOverTheLine is right! We want to see more of your adorable purrpals!

I finally got around to decorating my premade Wilton Halloween house!

I tried to draw a cat in the window.

I don't have the skill or patience to win any contests, but I sure do have fun.

And now I'm getting "it's playtime" headbutts, so I'd better get to it!

 

[Jcatbird]

I am way behind on positive posts but I am smiling from what I just saw and read! Besutiful spiders and webs, misty cool weather that is just right for cuddling the beautiful cats! I love Wilton houses! The cat in the window makes it complete. All great! It is getting crisp and cool here. The tea olives are blooming and because it is Fall the Orange one from Japan is in flower. It’s gorgeous and smells wonderful. I wish I could send you all the scent across the breeze!

We don’t have beautiful Fall leaves yet but the sky is lovely.

The pines are evergreen but the Cypress trees will soon be bare. I love the cool air.

 

[kittyluv387]

It's true I haven't posted too many photos of them lately!

Benny - He's energetic and a momma's boy. He has medium length hair so sometimes he looks long haired and other timed he looks short haired. But his tail always puffs up for feeding time.

Nemo - He's a cuddly teddy bear! Loves to sleep.

Our newest addition Skye. Super friendly and affectionate. Petite.

It's hard keeping up with them all but we can't imagine not having all of them!

 

[segelkatt]

Things have changed. And they're changing for the worse, in summer. But yeah, I have people in TX too, and I know about THOSE summers. Heat, humidity, and bugs, bugs, bugs!
In the Mojave where we lived before, it snowed (there are four distinct seasons at 4,100 ft.) and so I got all those great things, too. I kept them, in hope of moving back up there some day. And I actually wear the long underwear in winter, because I can't afford the HVAC for this big house. View attachment 259207PAWSitive memory -- the beautiful Mojave in winter

@taragirl06 and kittyluv387 then you know exactly why I was so happy to escape Texas. My future move to Reno will take me to the high desert so tarasgirl06 can give me some hints on what to expect there. I will PM you about that.

 

[Norachan]

Here's a fall photo from yesterday

That's very pretty.

have you ever wondered what Forest Cat would look like in eggplant?

I'm sure he'd look fabulous, but I can't let him upstage me. I'm the one with pretty purple hair around here. I've just bought some Dark Tulip hair colour for this year's autumn plumage.

Glad to hear the hostas are hanging in there

If they survive the winter I'm going to get a couple more. They had really nice flowers on this summer.

Also, a house nearby has a giant dragon

Wow! I.....I got nothing. I can't compete with that.

The one on the right seems to be sitting on a turtle.

Ohhhh! Those are special!

Mr. PushPurr got the most amazing photo of a cobweb...

Beautiful photos! I really like your shot of the misty lane too. We get mist and fog all year round here, we're high enough to be in the clouds some times. This is a shot of our nearest paved road. I took this as I was waiting for the bus one day.

I have some amazing positive news today. Two more of the kittens that went to the Cat Cafe have been adopted.

Here are Spooky and Spider when they were my tiny little fosters.

Here they are at the Cat Cafe, they've just had their first birthday.

But the best news is they found a home together!



Congratulations my beautiful girls. I hope you'll have a long and happy life with your new family.

 

[Furballsmom]

Oohh, Norachan that is lovely news, I'm so glad for them!!

My my, after a record breaking longest ever in the World Series18 inning game last night, today's is some kind of baseball game!

Slightly late, I am sorry, 1CatOverTheLine but thank you very much for the compliment earlier about the moon photos

kittyluv387 that photo of your two kitties, post #8506 how high from the floor are they??

Positive, the wind has calmed somewhat but a lot of leaves have come down, in time for the last mowing in Monday.

It's about 29 1/2 inches from the bottom of the top part. Its a Molly and Friends scratch post.

Lari , the Gingerbread house looks like fun. I am glad there is a kitty in the window!

When I stopped by the pond yesterday, there were many geese on the water and also some friendly ducks that swam in my direction.

Wishing all a good day/night.

I love fog. Here is some from the last time we really had any:

@tarasgirl - Very evocative, and what a pretty, well-kept street!

Jcatbird - I love the sky in the middle photo.

R raysmyheart - What nice Nature photos; I wonder if you missed your calling?





Today is Sunday Celebration - a roast duck to celebrate the Coming In Day(s) of my five newest Family members - October 5th of last year, Mirò joined us; September 24th three years ago, Black Friday left the outdoors forever, and three days later my neighbour finally trapped her Daughter Clawed-Ya - who joined her anxious Mom then - and seven years ago on a windy, stormy Hallowe'en night, White Tip and her Son - Oz - came in. There were only six kitties before they joined us, and now this old house is graced by eleven.

There's nothing more pawsitive in the world than the eleven cats who came in from the cold to live here with me. Nothing at all.

Norachan that Dark Tulip hair color sounds gorgeous! I always love going a bit darker for the Fall / Winter, too. I'd love to see the result, if you're so inclined! And I'm so happy to hear that Spooky and Spider found their forever home - just in time for Halloween (which must be their favorite holiday!) It has been so great to watch their progress from foster, to cat cafe, and finally to their new home, and I'm so happy that they'll get to stay together! What a PAWsitive story!


@foxxycat thanks for telling me about the Burning Bush. What a fascinating little shrub! Between that and the Furefall Maple, Autumn is surely bringing in some pretty orange hues. Still, none so pretty as gorgeous Honeybee out playing out in the early snow. She's such a little firecracker, she doesn't even care about the cold!


PushPurrCatPaws those pictures are gorgeous! I'm not very fond of spiders, but it is certainly PAWsitive to marvel at the wonderful intricacies of their webs. That cobweb Mr. Pushpurr captured is Charlotte-level craftsmanship!

R raysmyheart those geese and ducks look so serene in the middle of the pond. What a great captured moment with the sky's reflection.

1CatOverTheLine Happiest of Sunday Celebrations to you, Clawd-ya, Black Friday, White Tip, Oz, and Mirò - plus their happy adoptive siblings. You have such a beautiful family, and I'm wishing you all the very best on this day filled with gratitude, reflection, and (most importantly,) ROAST DUCK!

 

[tarasgirl06]

Norachan and 1CatOverTheLine have the happiest news -- always so PAWSitive to know that more cats have found their loving forever homes and to read of when cats came in from the cold to be loved and safe! Very happy Sunday Celebrations to Clawd-ya, Black Friday, White Tip, Oz, and Miro! (And I love all of the names.) May your day be absolutely full of duck!

Congratulations my beautiful girls. I hope you'll have a long and happy life with your new family.

I celebrate with you! A joyous feeling for sure! That is truly wonderful news! Having them adopted together doubles the joy. I join you in wishing them long and happy lives filled with love! Two more kitties saved.

Nature gives us such wonders!

. This is positive! Love times eleven! Lives saved and shared. Another celebration of life. The best kind.

I enjoy all the posts here. Beautiful photos, works of art, collectibles, music and pleasant daily life. The news of kitties safe and loved always makes my heart sing.
