Carnival of the Cats #550

For us Cat Bloggers the Carnival is a chance to discover blogs we might never have heard of, on subjects of all kinds!

Submissions can be sent to:  carnivalofthecats(at)gmail.com

The Carnival Home Page, with an archive of past Carnivals, the Line-up for 2014, FAQ'S, and more, is HERE.

  Cat alive! Things sure have been lively around here the past few days; It's enough to make a young girl laugh at the antics of her elders until her gut is about to bust!

Between Daddy Kiril bringing home 7 large, empty, cardboard boxes, and discussing with Elvira several e-mails he's received and responded to, among other things, well, let's just say I'm learning that being an "adult" is not all naps, 'nip and play.

Elvira will be sharing various things later in the week but, for now, I've been given the job of hosting this edition of the Carnival... 

So, let's get things going...

 

 

1. Over at StrangeRanger...Maddie is shown celebrating her 14th birthday by checking out presents and we wish to add our purrs and purrayers for the full recovery, from a heart attack, to Mom Ranger.

2. Over at Sparkle the Designer Cat...Elvira says that this is a most fitting "last hurrah" for Sparkle, in the wake of her passing:

Sparkle Won Best Cat Blog in the Petties! 

Concatulations!

3. Over at Marian Allen's Blog...Sweetie Pie Turner decides to "sit in MomGoth’s chair and get hair all over it."

Marian has been ill and could use your purrs and purrayers as she gets better.

4. Over at CatSynth...Humans use space shuttles to travel the cosmos...felines use synthesizers; don't believe me?

Cats on Synthesizers in Space

5. Over at Brian's Home...Dolly & Brian have a mystery they are trying to solve...."Savannah is up to something and it’s happening October 1st."

6. Over at Animal Shelter Volunteer Life...Get a load of the handsome Sherwood!

7 and 8. Over at Traveling Cats ...A disturbing, yet powerful, image of a cat in Fukushima, Japan and a celebrity cat in Croatia.

9. In our Sunday Surprise category (that I just made up because the news sure took ME by surprise, this morning, when daddy & Elvira told me about it -- I napped all night so missed their checking the e-mail when he got home from work.)...

Over at Scratchings & Sniffings...there is a very special guest post being shared that you simply MUST check out! (Elvira & daddy will have more about this later in the week).

10. Over at Life From a Cat's Perspective...See the lovely Samantha and read an awesome poem by Mike Arms for "Remember Me Thursday".

11 and 12. As for us, Elvira gets her poetry on in some very big ways!
