Good afternoon, Felinity Assembled...anyone out there? Anyone miss us?
Elvira Mistress of Felinity, here, and I want to apologize.
Has it been almost a year, this month, since our last blog post?
The last comments were left in July, October, and November.
I am sorry that we did not finish the 2019 Poetry a Day Challenge, ending at Day 11.
What excuse do I have?
I have plenty, but feel guilty using all of them...except the last one.
We got pre-occupied encouraging Daddy Kiril as HE completed the PAD Challenge.
After that Daddy Kiril took a month off...and promptly went BACK into the creative funk that he had transferred to US in late 2017.
Yes, some things ARE transferable from human to feline....
Anyway he blogged twice in June, and once in August before deciding, apparently, that enough was enough and blogging the whole month of December on the topic of going on walkies!
It al began, here: EVERWALK NATION: Discover the EPIC Within You!
He did apost in January, and was making plans to gt back into the swing of things on a regular basis in time for his 60th Birthday in March.
WE were collectively inspired by him, especially because March would have been the 22nd birthday of our founder, Mr. Nikita.
Then, in mid-February, we almost lost Daddy Kiril when he was hit by a human motorist while using a crosswalk near where we live!
We spent a week alone, here at the Nikita Institute of Feline Studies, home of the Feline News Network.
Since his return home we have focused our attention on nursing him back to health as he does all his physical exercises, sees his doctors and eats his food, like a good boy.
He can only walk on one leg, with the help of a walker.
He is not able to return to work until probably mid-May, and with all the craziness going on among the Humans over this Wuhan Virus, thing, that should be interesting when it happens.
Anyway, enough with the excuses.
In Mid-March Daddy began to blog again and we were encouraged by this, but wary.
Would it last? Would WE be encouraged to re-discover OUR collective muse again?
It's early April and Daddy is still blogging, even submitting a poem to a contest, and considering submitting a manuscript, from THIS blog, to another contest.
Which brings me to the "Moment" mentioned in the title of this entry...
It HAS been a looong moment, actually a long year, since Sneakers, Friday and I expressed ourselves here, but when Daddy approached us, last night, for our input to his Day 5 entry for the 2020 Poetry A Day Challenge...we did not nap, or snooze, for most of the night as we discussed ideas among ourselves while he slept.
Here is the result, and we hope you let us know what you think...

It's so awesome to see you all back! How awful that your human was hit by a car - I'm so glad he's on the mend. Tell him I'm sending him lots of healing purrs.

Welcome back, pals. We all missed you and Daddy Kiril. How terrible that he was hit by a car. We are glad he is getting better. We'll be purring for him!

battling down on texas, that... and covid, that you and the girls are happy and healthy.....♥♥♥
