  1. Memories of Eric and Flynn – I started this blog to show my holiday photos but haven't added to it for so long, but you can see my other holiday photos at https://allatseawithme.blogspot.com My main blog is my cat blog at https://twodevoncats.blogspot.com
    Memories of Eric and Flynn says:

    Kitty is carefully planning the next move. I agree with #1. It is not good to have to pre-plan everything to keep yourself safe, but it must be done. We usually go to a hotel for Christmas where everything is included because it is only the two of us. For the second year it won’t be happening. Oh to be able to go back two years and stop this pandemic before it starts.
    I hope you are able to have an enjoyable time on your boat.

      This is one smart kitty. We’re heading to the boat later today for three nights. Looking forward to probably our last weekend on the boat until next spring. Have a great weekend, Steve. 🙂

  3. Ann Thompson says:

    That cat seems to be in deep thought about what it’s next move is going to be. Love it.
    I guess for Halloween I will be doing the usual, turning out lights and watching tv in the dark.

      Sandee says:

      We won’t be home and that’s a good thing. We used to do the candy thing, but it’s to tiring for us anymore. Have a great day off tomorrow. 🙂

    That cat is plotting a big chess move! Happy Halloween weekend. We will be driving home from a FastCAT trial and then hide in the house so no one comes to the door.

    • Sandee – California – Home of Awww Mondays, Happy Tuesday, and Wordless Wednesday.
      Sandee says:

    messymimi's meanderings says:

    It would not surprise me if cats can play chess, but just choose not to play with us because we’d be to easy to beat. They always seem to know our next move, after all.

    Being thankful is never out of season, is it.

    Hope you and Mr. Zane have a fabulous time on your boat this weekend, hugs!

    • Sandee – California – Home of Awww Mondays, Happy Tuesday, and Wordless Wednesday.
      Sandee says:

      Cats are very smart. Yes being thankful is never out of season.

      You and Mr. Sweetie have a blessed weekend. Hugs. 🙂

  6. Cecilia Upchurch says:

    Sandee,
    I love your header!!
    We all know cats are smart enough to do anything ….if they want to do.
    My daddy always said my Mama, my daughter and I could/would and probably have talked to a telephone pole.
    Once while on vacation in a state far away from NC, Daddy and Mama stopped for a loo break. Lo and behold when Mama came out of the bathroom she had 2 new BFFs.
    So of course we’d talk to a Ghost.
    Happy Halloween Cruise.
    Hugs Cecilia

      I thought I would do Halloween for a change. I would talk to ghosts. I think it would be cool. Have a great weekend and Halloween. Hugs. 🙂

    My main concern right now is the nation!.

  17. Cathy Kennedy says:

    Sandee,

    We live in a world where we don’t know who’s evil because it hides itself amongst us, so feeling unsafe is normal. I pray continuously for God to keep me and mine safe. I hope you have a good time on the boat this weekend. We’ll no doubt be home staying low to not attract callers and if they come then we won’t answer the door. I think it’s best to keep kids home or at least to a more structured gathering instead of going door to door. Thankfully, our street is generally pretty dead on Halloween. I’m not sure if I’d talk to a ghost unless it appeared friendly. 🙂 Like you, this time of year I share the same thankful sentiments and I appreciate those feelings. I’m happy that I’m overall a content person knowing from whom all blessings flow.

    • Sandee – California – Home of Awww Mondays, Happy Tuesday, and Wordless Wednesday.
      Sandee says:

      I love the decorations, but that’s about it.

      I would try to talk to a ghost. Happy weekend, Patricia. 🙂

    We LOVE your Halloween headers! And that cat, I think that it is planning to knock all those chess pieces on the floor! (or at least that is what Marv would do) And your fill-ins rock! I would LOVE to spend Halloween on a boat instead of waiting on the kids who will come by our house…as the town where the elementary school is, all the rural kids come in to trick or treat. But then, it is Sunday this year…Marv and I hope that you have a marvellously happy weekend!

  23. Wing Commander Basil & The B Team – UK – Well, now there's a question! Furstly and most importantly I'm a cat if mew hadn't already guessed. I got my Wing Commander status in September 2018 but that hasn't slowed me up at all! I tweet, Instacat, FB, Tumble & Pin too and now there's Basil TV on YouTube.

My human & Purrsonal Assistant aka P.A. is Cathrine Garnell, and she writes books including a tale about my fictional alter ego, Basil the Bionic Cat. [See Books Page] I live in a multi-cat household, and mew can meet the rest of The B Team here most days of the week, as they all like a turn on the blog. I like mice, but then don't we all? I also like fresh tuna, chicken and prawns. I LOVE catnip, not in any excess I might add before mew jump to any wild conclusions. Thanks so much for dropping by, as we The B Team, love making new furriends, so do leave us a comment and say hi.
