Imagination, the more fertile, the better, is one of the cornerstones of being a writer, a blogger, and most especially, a Critter Blogger.
I learned in the lap of one of the most imaginative Humans I have ever had the priviledge to know...our Daddy Kiril, and I've taught Elvira Mistress of Felinity all I know, and she's coming along quite nicely. :-D
As those who have stopped by, the last few days, know, we have a new addition to our home ( Saga begins here....Elvira's Video is here, if ya simply MUST see it before anything else! :-D ), and this required some remodeling, and for us to use our imagination.
Now I am asking you to close your eyes, take a nap, or a snooze, if it will help, but look at the 2 pictures I'm sharing here,& let your imagination take control. :-D
Welcome to FNN Center (FNN = Feline News Network)!
The newly built HQ for the journalistic, and creative writing, efforts of yours truly Mr. Nikita, and his young protege Elvira Mistress of Felinity. :-D
As one approaches this sprawling complex the first things one sees are 2 huge flags flapping in the breeze, above a wide open space next to the buildings, a field of Premium Catnip, where Cats can romp to their hearts content, getting all the exercise they might care to before, or after, their visit for pleasure, or business. :-D
There is a tunnel leading underground to, and back out of, an Underground Napping, & Snoozing, Garage equipped with a variety of spaces:
Compact (For small Cats, and a special Kitten Care section)
Large-sized
MC (Multi-Cat groups)
FNN Center features a yet to be named Shoppping Mall (See contest at Post End!), the multi-colored (Purple Red, & Green), one floor facility hoping to attract discriminating Felines, and their Humans, to businesses such as the 12 stores ( & more as we learn of them) listed in our sidebar under the heading "Stores Daddy & I Like!" :-D
The mall also has a 30 screen Multi-Plex theatre where all your favorite cartoons, TV, and feature, films, starring all your Feline favorites, from the 30's to the present day, can be found. You never know what might be playing from month to month. :-D
OK, actually it's 29 screens, and a huge Kodak Theatre-style auditorium, with stage, for special events. :-D
The mall is next to the hub of all things Meowsings, FNN Center, itself!
Visitors to the 3 Floor, brown, white, & blue main complex, enter a Lobby ( Unauthorized Visitors Will Not Get past the Polite, Professional, Rottweiller Security Staff! ).
( Chief of Security for the whole complex? See that Asian Vole in the picture with me? That young lady is Mai Te Maos, and that's all I can say about this brave, and talented, member of the law enforcement community. :-D )
Also on this floor is the St. Tom Tom The Magnicent Reflection & Meditation Chapel (Named for an early Martyr of the Felinity Christian Faith), a place where Felines can avail themselves of the LOL Cat Bible Translation, and Humans can peruse copies of The Bible in Limerick Verse. :-D
On the 2nd floor can be found the Research Center & Sidebar Developement Office, and the Golden Paw Society for the Rescue of Felines ( GPSRF ).
On the 3rd floor are the Headquarters Office, Newsroom, and Studio, for Meowsings of an Opinionated Pussycat, and the Feline News Network.
Next to this tower, is a 2 level, green, & light brown, tower.
The first floor is home to Elvira's Bar & Grill!
Come for the Niptini's, & Noms, Stay for the Weekly Open Mics, and Regular Entertainment!
Featuring Award Winning Chefs Archie & Edith Pigeon...and
World Class Bartenders - Ozzie & Harriet Vole...and
A Staff of Feline Waiters, & Waitresses.
On the 2nd floor is located the Headquarter Office, and Studio, of the Elvira Factor.
Next to this is a Modern, Multi-level, complex, uniquely designed to whisk visitors to its roof, by paw, or several "tube-like" elevators. :-D
The Nikita Institute of Feline Studies is located in the 2 lower floors, and one can also make their way to the elevatorss, and walk-ways, situated at 4 "Observation Decks", leading to the roof.
Ah, the roof...Oh, yeah, a very special place, with pink, and green, carpeting, soon to hopefully be well known through out the world-wide Cat Blogosphere, and Felinity Assembled! :-D
Behold The FA Club!
Where Feline Writers, Bloggers, Journalists, Artists, Other Creative Sorts, & their Humans, Come to Relax, See, and Be Seen...
And the home of a growing Library of books of all types, but also many on Cat related themes, to spark learning, discussion, and debate.
On alternating days one, or the other, of the Bartenders, from Elvira's, handles the Bar. :-D
The Ongoing Feline Conquest of the Internet is Rumored to be Planned from Here!
( But Who Takes Rumors Seriously? )
Before we end let me introduce a contest...
The Shopping Mall needs a name!
There are 2 choices:
The Shoppes at FNN Center
Catnip Acres Townecenter
Cast your vote in the comments, and the name with the most votes, by the end of April 1st, will be the winner.
1 vote per Kitty/Human/Blog.
Those who chose the winner will have their names tossed in Daddy's hat, and either I, or Elvira, will draw a name.
( Daddy thinks that he can get me on video, drawing the name, because of my love of messing with the papers on his desk...we shall see. :-D )
The winner will receive the 5 bags of Greenies Treats seen here that we got from Mr. Chewy, and Daddy's extra copy of The Great Cat - Poems About Cats edited by Emily Fraggs, that Daddy got by accident, thinking he didn't already have it! :-D
*****April 2 Update - 8pm*****
We have a name! We also have a winner of the drawing!
A Winner! The Name of the "Mall" at FNN Center is...
