Monday Sparks


 Even though McGuffy's reader is taking a break, we are continuing our Monday Sparks posts!  From the original Sparks posts:

Welcome to Sparks. Many years ago, it was my intent to post an inspirational thought each Monday. It would be my weekly meditation, and perhaps feed other people's spirit as well. Life got busy, and this fell by the wayside. Now, I feel a strong need to bring this feature back. 
The negative energy in the world has become thick and oppressive. Social media has become a part of this dark, negative storm. There is an obvious universal need for more positive energy and peace. And, we can all be part of this affirmative change. 
I believe we are meant to be lights in this world. If we allow our light to shine, we can see where we are going. It is then that we can begin to truly see each other clearly. Together, we can light up the entire world!
I hope you will join us. Please link up a positive quote, thought, poem, or verse. The badge and code can be found in my sidebar. Add the badge to your post to invite others. The more, the merrier. I welcome your thoughts. Peace.

Caturday Cat Art

Mom's phone asked if we wanted to create artwork from the photo we used for Wordless Wednesday so she said yes. It turned out very nice!  We loved the way it added a cool pastel background!


 We're joining Athena's Caturday Art Blog Hop

Poetic Thankful Thursday

 Today is Poetic Thursday hosted by our pals Teddy and Angel Sammy at Two Spoiled Cats



Today's photo prompt is

Buddies

My buddy is a bulldog
He's more fun than a frog.
We have fun in the mud.
Afterwards, we wash with lots of suds.
Later on, we snoozed
Mom was not amused.

Today is also Angel Brian's Thankful Thursday Blog Hop!
                                   

Periwinkle and Stinky are THANKFUL for all who visit and comment.  They hope you enjoyed their Adventure.

The Adventures of Periwinkle and Stinky

 

Pacing back and forth in front of the Teleportation Tunnel, Periwinkle had a hard time keeping her eyes from leaking.  She wanted to be strong for Stinky, but her heart was sad when she thought about Angel Sawyer.  Soon, the Tunnel began to shake and, wiping a tear from her eye, she put on her best smile and got ready to put her paws around Stinky.  With the familiar WOOSH, he popped out, and she caught him with her loving paws.  The two hugged and whisker kissed and, of course, the tears came.  They did their best to comfort each other. Periwinkle asked Stinky how his family was doing.  Stinky said it was tough but the kittens helped brighten spirits with their antics.  Periwinkle was glad they were being helpful.

Periwinkle said, "I hope you don't mind staying here for our Adventure today.  I didn't think we were ready to go off someplace yet and there are two events this week we can share."  Stinky agreed that staying at Periwnkle's house was a good idea. "I'll bet I know what one event is.  Yesterday was Kiss a Ginger day, wasn't it?" 

Periwinkle giggled and asked if his brofurs Cooper Murphy and Raleigh got big kisses and he replied that Cooper Murphy did, but Raleigh didn't like kisses, "I'll bet our pal Teddy did too," they both said and giggled again. Periwinkle said, " I wish I could give Cooper Murphy and Raleigh each a big kiss."  Then she got an idea.  "I'll bet I could give them a virtual kiss with AI!"  The two went to Periwinkle's Mom's computer and started playing with different programs.  "Hey, this one isn't bad of you with Cooper Murphy,"  said Stinky.  They both agreed she looked a little thin, but it was cute.
  

Next, they decided to have her give Raleigh a kiss which they thought turned out better.


Since the next day was Dress Up Your Pet day and they were already playing with different programs, they decided to see what kind of dress-up they could do without actually having to put on REAL clothes.

They tried different prompts.  Stinky as a Chef...

Periwinkle as a Ballerina...

The Tabbies laughed at themselves as Star Wars Stormtroopers...
Stinky tried a Baseball outfit...

And a French Artist...
Stinky asked for Periwinkle in a Superhero costume since he said she was HIS superhero.  Periwinkle blushed but was secretly pleased that he thought of her like that.  She hugged him and gave him a great big kiss when she saw it.

Stinky asked to be dressed like a Cowboy, a Pirate and a Sailor.

"Good ideas, I think I'll do the same," said Periwinkle.  Of course, she dressed like a cowgirl!



"I'm glad we're doing this today," said Stinky.  "I don't think I would have much fun on an Adventure so soon after losing my brofur, Sawyer."   Periwinkle took his paw and hugged him.  Once again, tears came to their eyes, and they snuggled and comforted each other.  Noelle and Reesie heard them and came over to join in on the hug.  

It was almost time for Stinky to head home, so they decided to have a quick snack of Fancy Feast before he left.

They shared a few minutes of whisker kissing, paw patting, and saying "I love you" to each other. Eventually, Stinky hopped into the Teleportation Tunnel to head home.  Periwinkle asked him to send her love to Mom Janet, Dad Tom, and his fursibs and, with a WOOSH and one last whisker kiss, he was on his way.

Periwinkle decided to find her fursibs and snuggle together in a sun puddle while thinking of her special mancat.

Monday Sparks

 


Sadly, our ginger Angel Tamir left us many years ago. If you are lucky enough to have a ginger, please kiss them for us today!

Sunday Selfies

 Sorry if I look grumpy but I was snoozing on the big cat tree in the window when Mom woke me up to take my Selfie.  At least I wasn't photobombed this time!



We're pawticipating in The Cat on My Head's Sunday Selfies today.
