The oddest thing can ruin a good shot - like wind beneath my floof.
I hope these are the winds of change - positive change.
Have a great weekend my friends.
I hope the winds of change are bringing us all more joy and love.

Honest Meme
I was tagged by my little sister in floof (LSIF) and my little sister in honorary floof (LSIHF)(Siena and Chilli) with this fun meme/award.
Here were the rules (you know I won't follow all of them, right LSIF and LSIHF?) "When accepting this auspicious award, you must write a post bragging about it, including the name of the misguided soul who thinks you deserve such acclaim, and link back to said person so everyone knows he or she is real. Choose a minimum of 7 blogs that you find brilliant in content or design. Or improvise by including bloggers who have no idea who you are because you don’t have 7 friends. Show the 7 random victims’ names and links and leave a harassing comment informing them that they were prized with “Honest Weblog.” Well, there’s no prize, but they can keep the nifty icon. List at least ten honest things about yourself. Then, pass it on! "
Here is an honest picture in my sink. I'm a bit irritated at being disturbed.
- I love my sink. I sleep in there all the time (especially in the summer). My parents never use my side of vanity (they're well trained).
- I was a total Daddy's Girl, but as I'm getting older I really show Mommy some lovin too now. I never used to let Daddy see us snuggling together, now I'm okay with it.
- My meow changed after I went to the Vet to be fixed, it became deeper and more gravely. It's allowed me and my family to converse really well and it never hurt (and it's plenty loud). They think my vocal cords might have been nicked.
- I once threw myself at the cable man (I had to be locked up till he left, so he could "work"). Mommy thinks he washed his pants in nip.
- I've never not used my litter box, even when I locked myself in Mom's office for hours.
- I let Mommy hold my front paws when we snuggle.
- I'm not a fan of being picked up, but when I am, I prefer being held belly up.
- My fur is extremely soft, like mink I'm told. My parents can't get enough.
- I once had my own dog, a blond blue-eyed husky. Her name was Koda. I loved to play with her floofy tail and she never minded.
- The Mocking Bird in my yard scares me, he actually mocks me. I would break my no-kill policy in his case.
- Other than bugs I've never killed anything, that was living.
Here is where the rules get broken - I tag any of my friends who want to play. I like to hear honest stuff about any of you.

Lady Floofington
Today, you may call me Lady Floofington. I'm entering my snowshoe paws in Cosmo's Toehawk challenge.
I was trying to bring my paw up for a perfect shot here, but of course the Pawparrazzi missed it.
Let's go in for a closer look. Notice the bit of floof on the front paw.
Enjoy yourself.

5 PM - A Love Story
Fade In
FIN sleeps on the big bed. She stretches sweetly as she realizes the time draws close. FIN takes a long and luxurious lick bath, making sure each fur is in its place. She leaps from the bed and lands soundly on the bedroom floor, she takes a moment to re-adjust her fur.
Suddenly FIN realizes her bath has taken too long and hurriedly begins her preparations. FIN dashes to the kitchen and wolfs down any remnants of food in her dish. She runs to the living room and moves her mouse SCOOTEY back to his place under the table. FIN realizes his placement is too perfect, and tries to adjust him with her paws. Still not right, she picks him up in her mouth and tosses him gently so he lands belly-up and casual-like. FIN is pleased with the results.
(Cue sound effect of car on the street and the garage door opener) FIN runs through the office towards the laundry room. She sits down and tries several poses in an effort to look welcoming, but not overly so. She also tries several lying down positions.
(Cue sound effect of a car pulling into the garage on the other side of the laundry room door. The lumbering sounds of a human woman approach the door).
FIN (excitedly rolls unto her back exposing her soft tender underbelly): Meowme Meowme! Ra-ow Ra-ow!
The door opens to reveal MOMMY as she enters from the garage. MOMMY's face is transformed with love as she sees our leading lady.
MOMMY (Sweetly as she drops her purse and bows towards FIN): How is my perfect furry girl? I missed you today. Did you miss me?
FIN (lovingly as she wriggles with joy): Mer-ow, Mew!
MOMMY bends down and scoops up sweet FIN in her arms. FIN basks in the adoration (for a full 10 seconds) as MOMMY squeezes her.
FIN (indicating she would like to be set down now): Mah!
MOMMY gently places FIN on the floor as she heads down the hall. Out of the corner of FIN's eye she sees THE BALL has placed itself in MOMMY's path. FIN races past MOMMY and attacks THE BALL with a solid blow to it's evil green plastic. THE BALL rolls cowardly into the living room as FIN races beyond to ensure it's submission.
THE BALL (fearfully): Tinkle Tinkle Tinkle
MOMMY (filled with awe): You saved me my sweet cat!
MOMMY and FIN go into the kitchen together. MOMMY cracks open a can of food while our leading lady rubs against her legs. We hear loud purring. The screen edges pull in till MOMMY and FIN are surrounded by a black screen in a heart shape.
THE END
Fade Out
Remember to let us know if you are playing for an Acatemy Award (see prior post below) by Sunday. Everyone who plays gets an Acatemy so there are no "it's just nice to be nominated moments."

2:30am - The Ball Menace
Fade In
FIN is seen in profile, lying in the dimly lit living room. Her head is resting on her front paws. She stares intently, and warily, at an object just out of camera view. Camera pulls out to reveal THE BALL (a ball toy cage made of green plastic which holds a shiny, menacing bell at it's dark and evil heart). It sits directly in front of our heroine.
FIN rolls onto her back as she pretends to ignore it. After a few moments FIN twists her head to look at THE BALL as it mocks her with it's silent taunts. FIN flips suddenly to face THE BALL, and it doesn't back down. FIN reaches out gracefully with her paw and almost touches it, but suddenly she leaps up and saunters towards the mouth of the hallway.
FIN thoughtfully listens for the sounds of her sleeping parents (Cue sound effect of very loud snoring). She is pleased her family is safe. She looks at THE BALL with disinterest, but as she turns her head back to the camera we see the glint of mayhem in her eyes. FIN saunters casually past THE BALL and tucks quickly behind a cabinet.
Cut to THE BALL in the foreground and FIN in the background. FIN settles into a crouch and wiggles her hind quarters as she prepares for a vicious attack. FIN pounces in slow mo. THE BALL is helpless as it's caught in her ferocious bite (cue sound effect of the screaming tinkle of its jingle bell).
FIN stops mid-kill as she turns towards her sleeping parents (Cue sound effect of their snoring disrupted). FIN drops THE BALL and covers it with her paws to silence it's evil screaming. FIN wiggles her upper body to disorient it and whaps it hardly. THE BALL rolls swiftly towards the hall and the sleeping parents beyond.
THE BALL (loudly and menacingly): Tinkle, tinkle, tinkle, tinkle
FIN races after THE BALL as it rolls towards her family. FIN throws herself on it, just as it makes a final break for the bedroom. FIN whaps THE BALL and it rolls in terror back to its living room lair. FIN curls up in the hallway corner, still vigilant and wary of another attack. Her parents snore loudly, blissfully unaware of the danger they've been rescued from.
