Carnival of the Cats #578

Good evening, felinity assembled, sorry for the real late CoTC.

Samantha, of Life from a Cat's Perspective, was supposed to host a slimmed down version this week, but her human went  to visit family in Boston for a few weeks, leaving Samantha to watch the house...

So what does she do?

"Since Mom IS Gone Stop On By Day or Night!

You All Know Drill! What Stays Here Stays Here!

TIME FOR FOR A HOUSE TRASHING PARTY!"

 

 

I must admit I contributed to the delinquency, on Monday, by providing the best Crawfish & BBQ in Texas! Um, hee, hee!

 

Anyway, she's now in full clean-up mode, or soon will be, so I'm hosting the carnival.

 

 

 

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

It is an opportunity for us to reach an audience we might not otherwise reach.

It is a chance to promote a post or 2, each week, that we think will be of interest to others, and to pitch them using more than 140 characters or just a short sentence barely long enough to get a point across.

Submissions and tips can be sent to:  carnivalofthecats(at)gmail (dot) com

They must be received by 3pm EST, each Sunday (ideally we’d like posts submitted by Midnight EST Saturday, but know regulars who share Sunday posts), so the host can have time to post the current CoTC Sunday evening, or no later than Tuesday evening.

So, let's get started!
