Trick or TREATS! #chewyinfluencer



Halloween is finally here - we sure hope we get TUNA!   Mom wasn't in the mood to put us in real costumes this year (which didn't bother US at ALL!)  Raz and Allie are going to the party at Scouts and  the Teaserween party at Angel Sammy and Teddy's today so they did get virtual costumes.

Allie is a black cat!


Raz is a shark!



We have a super special TREAT for you today!   We were given the opportunity to review Fancy Feast Duos for our pals at Chewy.

Monday Sparks - Halloween Week


Today we're joining the new blog hop called Sparks that was started by McGuffy's Reader.
Here are the details from their blog:

Welcome to Sparks. Many years ago, it was my intent to post an inspirational thought each Monday. It would be my weekly meditation, and perhaps feed other people's spirit as well. Life got busy, and this fell by the wayside. Now, I feel a strong need to bring this feature back. 

The negative energy in the world has become thick and oppressive. Social media has become a part of this dark, negative storm. There is an obvious universal need for more positive energy and peace. And, we can all be part of this affirmative change. 

I believe we are meant to be lights in this world. If we allow our light to shine, we can see where we are going. It is then that we can begin to truly see each other clearly. Together, we can light up the entire world!

I hope you will join us. Please link up a positive quote, thought, poem, or verse. The badge and code can be found in my sidebar. Add the badge to your post to invite others. The more, the merrier. I welcome your thoughts. Peace.

Our SPARKS for this week!   Mom says ALL cats are good luck!! Sh thought this beautiful kitty would bring a smile to your face!

Poetic Thankful Thursday

Today is Poetic Thursday hosted by our pals Teddy and Angel Sammy at Two Spoiled Cats


Today's letter is "T" and the prompt words are....

(1) Tiger (2) Tummy (3) Tired (4) Travel


Tired

It seems to Mom we're always TIRED
Except at 3am when we are wired.
Tired kitties all day long
At night we like to sing our song.
We hop and jump and make lots of noise
Running around with our toys.
During the day we take a snooze
Hopefully with window views.
Find a sun puddle?
We'd love to cuddle!


Today is also Brian's Thankful Thursday Blog Hop!


Raz says he's Thankful for a good sun puddle so show off his TUMMY when he is TIRED.

Sunday Selfies

We're pawticipating in The Cat on My Head's Sunday Selfies today.




We've always had cardinals at our bird feeder but recently this guy has been visiting a LOT.  He took a selfie one day when he was here.


We've noticed that he shows up a lot when Mom is super down and leaky eyed.  We think it's Dad's spirit visiting Mom.
