Good one, Sonja!  That kitten is crow-hoppin'.

Why thanks.

It's always a pleasure to find yet another use for quotes from our movie!    ;D

Roxy is so cute! She's full of vigor and life! All kittens are bundles of energy Shasta. She'll calm down some in a few months. She's still a baby at this point in time. But she may always be a bit on the active side, based on what Chrissi just told us. But probably not enough to be destructive, just enough to be comical and cute. :-*

I've seen cats like Roxy before. I'm trying to remember the name of those markings on her fur. Is it called "tortoise shell" or something like that? I can't remember for certain.

I love your pictures of Vivien, Amanda. I love the way she looks silhouetted by the light of the fire. And I have a feeling she is a VERY happy cat! I think you probably nurture her and give her a lot of love and cuddles. :D

I also love what you did with your fireplace. The candles in there look beautiful. I've been thinking about doing that with my fireplace, but I'm never there enough to actually do it. It seems I'm always at Dad's house these days. One of these days I'll get over there and do it!

I'm in Speedway now but I'll be heading back over to Dad's soon. Maybe next time! :D

I missed the Halloween party last night. I'm glad I looked at this thread after dinner! Great pictures.  ;D

Halloween isn't much of a do over here. It's a kids things, if anything. No grown ups here dressing up like darth vader, or, like Michelle Obama, as cat woman.
But the shops are full of halloween stuff (makes you wonder who buys it all), our bakery sells chocolate wiches and other greepy creatures and sometimes there are Halloween kid's parties in school.
It's a bit like Valentine's or Santa Claus at Christmas, it still has an 'imported' feel to it, it hasn't become a tradition over here (yet).

But things may change, because last night at around 9 pm the doorbell rang. My husband and I looked at each other thinking 'Who could that be at this hour?' And when my husband opened the door, two kids were standing there in full Halloween dress, looking verrrry scary. So, trick-or-treating has now reached Belgium too. LOL. Of course, they couldn't say 'trick or treat', they needed a local version of that. They chose 'Candy or death!'  :laugh: Hmmm, I'm not sure that will catch on though.
Of course we were totally unprepared, no candy available. :o I had to send them on their way with a bar of chocolate and some cookies. I must do better next year.


Anyway, no scary food pic from me. But we do have a black cat, Ollie, who was willing to pose for us.

"Candy or Death!" :laugh: :laugh:

Oh no!! :laugh:

That's really cute!

Well, you DO have St. Maarten's day coming up soon! And maybe next year you'll have more kids come to your door on Halloween!

I love Ollie! He's a beautiful kitteh! I love his fur! He looks so fluffy, soft and elegant!

Yes, tortoiseshell is correct.

The children here say  "Süsses oder Saures" = "Sweets or sour".

"jemandem Saures geben" is literally = to give someone something sour, meaning let someone have it.

Ollie looks so cuddly. He looks gemütlich.

My black cat had a similar nick in his left ear, a little smaller perhaps.
