Welcome to Day 4 of the
2022 CAT LOVERS HOP!!!

 If you have a project to linkup, please SIGN IN HERE (required to be eligible for prizes) and then go to the Main Hop Page
(Please use #2022CatLoversHop on social media!!)
 Also, please check out my
2022 Cat Lovers Hop Guidelines and FAQs



Hi, Friends.....

Can you believe it is Day 4 already???
The Hop is halfway over and look at all our projects!!  There were well over 100 fabulous feline entries when I last checked the Linky Tool.  Way to go everyone!! 

And did you see all the amazing Kitty Poetry from the Day 3 Daily Game???  If you missed it, you really must go back and take a look.  Everyone did such a great job.  Many of them are really funny and a few bring a tear or two to the eyes.  One thing I can say about our Hoppers:  we REALLY know cats!!  I love so much reading all your kitty tales.  Thank you for participating in our Games!! 

Also.....I happened to notice a few extra prize opportunities being offered by some of our lovely Cat Hoppers.  Kitty (Please see my sidebar for more info!), Becca, and Karen each have something special for Hoppers who comment on their projects....and there may be others!  Thank you, gals, for making our Hop extra fun by doing this!!!  ❤  (I have not had a chance to visit all the projects yet, so if any of the rest of you have blog candy on your Cat Hop posts that you want me to announce, please send me a note and I will add you to this list!) 

I also want to extend my personal welcome to each of our first-time Cat Hoppers.....so very glad you found us!!!  I hope you already can tell what a warm and friendly group this is.  Please find a soft blanket to curl up on and make yourselves at home! ❤

NOTE:  When posting your projects on your blog, please remember to post the Cat Hop Badge also if you can.  I know that isn't possible with other platforms like Flickr and IG, but Badge Kitty Othello and I would really appreciate it when you can.  Thanks!!


OOOOPS!!  Operator Error in Play: 
On Day 2, I had the wrong link for Heffy Doodle's Blog Event.  Oh...arrrgh!!  I had last year's link instead of this year's!!  My bad!!  I would be most grateful if you all would please go to THIS YEAR'S LINK and tell them thank you.

A Facebook Glitch this time:
FB  projects are often a little bit problematic for linking up....and that platform seems to be worse this year than before.  Ugh.  We always have Hoppers that would like to visit but are not members of FB, but sometimes even those of us who are on FB can't view the projects!
Just a reminder that if you are linking up from FB, please make sure your "privacy" settings allow Public or Unlimited viewing, not just Friends.  Otherwise most of us can't come visit and leave a comment.  Thanks so much!  

 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Just a reminder.....You must SIGN IN HERE to be eligible for prizes. Also, LINK UP ALL PROJECTS ON THE MAIN HOP PAGE by 11:55 pm Pacific, Saturday, Oct. 29, 2022.  I have my 2022 CAT LOVERS HOP - Guidelines and FAQs in a handy tab just under my header at the top of each page.  All these links are at the top of each Hop post, too.

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!  

NOTE:  Comments on The Daily Game posts will be included when I do the random draw comment prizes.  You might recall that half the prizes are drawn from projects linked up and half from comments here and on the linked up projects.  So the more you play in these games, the more chances you have to win a comment prize.  Yay!

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 4 GAME:  Tell us a Kid-Friendly Cat Riddle or Joke! 
  
It's okay to look one up on the internet or make one up yourself!!! 
Here are a couple of rules: 
1.  Family-friendly jokes only, please.  We have kids that participate in our Hop!
2.  Please keep your jokes cute and harmless.....the kind of clever or corny thing you might find in a riddle or joke book for kids.  The sillier the better!!!  :)

For those international Hoppers who might have some trouble with English, please feel free to share a joke from your own country and translate it for us!  I have a neighbor from a different country who tells me jokes from his home country all the time.  So much fun!!! 


I'll start with a couple of silly ones I found that made me smile:
Did you hear about the cat who swallowed a ball of wool?
....
....
She had mittens. 
------------------------------------------------
What do you call it when a cat wins first place at a Dog Show?
....
....
A "Cat-has-trophy".

Okay, now it is your turn!! 
Make us laugh with a Cat Joke or Riddle.

 
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. 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

That's all for today.  Keep making those awesome projects and leaving those wonderful comments! 

Also...Please keep thanking our fabulous sponsors. 
NOTE:  Sometimes it can be difficult to find a place to thank these lovely companies if they are not doing a blog event or have public posts on their FB.  If you are on FB, you can try using Messenger to express your thanks! 
See you tomorrow for Day 5!

  15. Hello, Janis! We were gone most of today so now I'm falling behind with my hopping! I hope to get caught up tomorrow - I'm really glad you gave us the extra days to hop around as my goal is to do them all this year! My happy news is that Brian made 5 cards for the hop yesterday and I'm so proud of him! I just linked them up. He's very excited about his cards! Thank you for the shout-out on my giveaway! Yay - you get an extra entry! Another day of awesome sponsors! I'll be hopping around to thank them right after I finish commenting here. I usually try their blog first but if that's not current, then I try their facebook. No problem with Heffy Doodle; whichever link I clicked on worked for me. As for my cat joke, here goes: What does the cat say after making a joke? "Just kitten!" Love that one!
