**********************************************
I am so glad you are back today to join us for Day 2 of our 2022 Cat Lovers Hop. A big thanks to everyone who already pounced on the Daily Game yesterday. I enjoyed reading about new kitties and catching up on other cats who have made regular appearances on here over the last several years. Sadly, there were a few of our dear pets that passed on this last year. Part of what makes our community of Cat Lovers so special is that we not only share each other's joys, but also feel each other's losses. 💔💔💔
If you haven't participated in the Kitty Roll Call from yesterday's Day 1 Daily Game, I hope you will go back and do so. You can enter any of the Daily Games through Wed. Nov. 2, but don't wait! We hope to hear from the rest of you soon. The games are fun and really help us get to know you and your kitties. We want to hear from everyone!!
I'm also enjoying the projects that have been linked up already. Fabulous!! I love seeing cat products out there that I didn't even know existed. I make a note of the companies for future sponsor possibilities!! 😉
One more thing before we get going for today.....
If you notice broken links or links going to the wrong pages or someplace where I still have a 2021, instead of 2022, PLEASE send me a note!! I rely on my alert readers to let me know when they run into something like that. There is already enough mass confusion during our Hops without me starting some international CAT-astrophy! I super-appreciate everyone's help in this matter!!!
NOTE: A BIG THANK YOU to alert Hopper LESLIE who called my attention to the broken links on the Day 1 Post for the Main Hop Post!!! Arrrrrrghhhh.....what a nightmare! Of course this happens on the MOST important post of the Hop!!
Apparently the naughty kitties at Blogger auto-switched out my link when I had my back turned. Some sponsors and pre-scheduled posts had the "right" link....and some had the "wrong" link. So I had to make two posts with identical names......"MAIN HOP POST - 2022 Cat Lovers Hop" to be able to redirect Hoppers with the "wrong" link to the right post!! Confusing? Oh, yah! ARRRRGH!!! Does anyone want this job????? lol....
I will try to fix as many links as I can on my own posts, but be aware that BOTH links are floating around out there. I just hope people will be patient and follow the redirect if they have the wrong one. Thanks for understanding!!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
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.
Another thank you to Helpful Hopper, Kitty, who assisted me in coming up with this idea for our Daily Game:
DAY 2 GAME: Time to Tattle on Your Cats. Tell us about something VERY NAUGHTY they have done.
I'll start.......
ALL of my cats are VERY NAUGHTY......ALL the time (and I love them so much)!! So it is hard to narrow down what to tell you about. Hahaha!!Some of our cats are not too bright and others are sharp as a tack. It's always the super-intelligent ones that seem come up with the naughtiest things to do....and they know EXACTLY what they are doing, so there is no excuse! lol....Our lovely, exotic Perdita (who we sadly lost a few years ago) was a gorgeous and highly-intelligent Siamese. One time she sneaked into the addition of the house where I had a birthday cake for my daughter awaiting the evening's festivities. Perdita licked nearly all of the icing off the center of the cake!! I didn't discover it until we were almost ready to bring it out and add the candles. Oh, no!!!
I called my son in there and we debated what to do. Finally we scraped off the top part of the bare expanse and smoothed the icing from the edges over the top of it. It was an awfully thin coat of icing. Arrrgh. We didn't tell my daughter until several months later!! Ha.
Okay, now it is your turn!!
Tell us about your Naughtiest Kitty......lol!! I can't wait to read the comments on this one. So please share with us!!
Tell us about your Naughtiest Kitty......lol!! I can't wait to read the comments on this one. So please share with us!!

Okay.....let's continue on with the feline fun today!! Thanks so much for your excitement and participation!!!
