(Whether your country celebrates cats today or not, you can celebrate it with us in the USA!!)
To help us all celebrate National Cat Day, our friend and Helpful Hopper Becca sent me a link to a fun daily e-newsletter all about cats....the Daily Purr Cats!! You can find out about it and subscribe HERE. I had never seen it before and immediately had to sign up. It's FREE! Yay! Thank you, Becca!!! ❤

Hi, Friends........
Wow....we made it! We are on the Day 6 of our Hop. The week has really flown by.....like kitty crazies in the middle of the night! Ha.
Have you enjoyed the Daily Games? Thank you for indulging me on the silly Day 4 - Cat Riddles and Jokes Game. The ones you have shared have tickled my funny bone!! Thanks for taking part in that.
Many of you have already linked up your 5 projects for the week and will spend National Cat Day with your kitties....and maybe CATching up on thanking sponsors and commenting on all the projects!! For the rest of you, TODAY IS THE LAST DAY TO LINK UP PROJECTS!!! All projects must be linked up by 11:55 pm Pacific tonight, October 29th.
Despair not, though, because you can still COMMENT (on projects and the Daily Games) through next Wednesday!!! Comments close at 11:59 pm Pacific, Wednesday, Nov. 2, 2022.
Yes, you get an 4 extra days to catch up on your
commenting...especially helpful for those last-second projects that get linked
up near midnight tonight!!
Next Wednesday's post will be a Wrap-Up Post
and will have a link-up for you to enter if you have heroically managed
to comment on every single project!! (You
marathon commenters must have a much faster internet connection than
mine is here in Idaho. I am still trying to catch up!!)
BLOGGER TROUBLES CONTINUE.....Have you noticed how this year is worse than most for accessing blogs, leaving comments, getting logged in/out, etc???? I found another thing Blogger is doing....sending a bunch of your lovely comments on my Daily Posts into the spam folder!!! ARRRGH!! I get email notifications that you have commented and just assume they actually posted onto my blog. Not necessarily!! So frustrating.
I went to my Blog's Spam folder today and found over a dozen of your comments that somehow triggered the filters. I have them all properly added to my posts now, but it made me think that this is possibly happening to other people, too. So please check your Blog Spam Folders. I can't include Hopper comments in for the Comment Prizes if I don't see them when I visit your blog! Thanks for your help!!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ DAILY GAME TIME!!!!!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Daily Game has been sponsored each year in the past by Ike's Art.
Sadly, our dear friend Ike is gone now, but we will continue the
Games....although without a sponsor. I know Ike would want this feature
to continue!
COMMENT here on the Daily Games and on any or all projects that are linked up on the MAIN HOP POST by 11:59 pm Pacific Daylight Time, Wednesday Nov. 2, 2022 to be in the drawings for Comment Prizes! Be sure to SIGN IN.....required to be eligible for prizes.
DAY 6 GAME: Where Do Your Cats Sleep? Do they hog your pillow or do they have a secret nest?
I'll go first.....
We have an upstairs loft with a pull-down ladder for access. The cats love sleeping up there in the loft where the warm air rises. Even dear old Jetta, age 19, shoots up that ladder (she is faster than I am!!!) to take a nap in her favorite nest up there. At night, though, she often sleeps on top of me, esp if I have the heating pad on! My sweet snuggly Judith sleeps on my pillow or at the foot of the bed. Othello usually sleeps with my son in the loft at night or on the couch.
Okay, now it is your turn!!
Tell us all about the interesting places your kitties sleep.
Remember to SIGN IN and then COMMENT here through Wed. Nov. 2, 2022, 11:59 pm Pacific Daylight Time to be eligible for Comment prizes. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Okay, now go get those last projects finished and posted because TODAY IS THE LAST DAY TO LINK UP PROJECTS!!! But you will still have through next Wednesday, Nov. 2nd, 11:59 pm Pacific to finish up your commenting.
Thank
you sooooooooooo much for being a
part of the 2022 Cat Lovers Hop. Your excitement and participation
has been such a joy! Now get that last project linked up and finish
leaving your comments and next Wednesday, Nov.2 will be the Wrap-Up Post. I will
see you then!!
🖤
Janis
