Giant Black Halloween Cat in neighborhood

Black Cat Prowl

My fur is black.
My eyes are green.
I prowl outside at night unseen,
On silent paws outside the house
Looking for a juicy mouse!

I see a headlight up the road,
And cross the short grass newly mowed
To crouch beneath a blooming rose
And flex the claws between my toes.

My pupils narrow to a slit
Because the garden’s briefly lit
By auto headlights passing by.
I stop to lick my paws and sigh.

My whiskers give a little twitch.
I rush along the nearby ditch!
I’m hungry now; I must go back
And have a little midnight snack

From the food bowl on the floor
Filled with kibbles from the store
Inside the cat-flap near the door.
I’m home and couldn’t ask for more!

Scooby the cat nip nana

National Cat Day USA 2015

It is National Cat Day USA again!  Seems like I just did a post on this!  I searched this blog and found it has been an entire year gone by!  Presents came in the mail yesterday.  We received several catnip bananas or nip nanas or nip naners, if you will.  I have seen these bananas on other cat blogs, and finally decided to get some. We also got some new collars.  Later today we shall see if Scooby objects to a new collar with his new county pet license tag.  He also got a personalized tag as well.  Other cats got new ones as well, so this afternoon we shall put them all on.  Zeke went to the vet early and got a perfect bill of health; while Opie went for a dental clean and hair mat removal.  She will be picked up later this afternoon.  Hopefully all will go well.  She has the worst teeth!

At any rate, here is Scooby enjoying his nip nana.  It may be his first!
