That kitty blends right into that cage. They can hide very nicely though.
ReplyDeleteHave a purrfect Feline Friday. Have an even better weekend. ☺
A great camouflage artist!
ReplyDeleteI have always loved Reader's Digest. It is one of the first "real" magazines that I read. My Aunt Mae had lots of them and I would spend a lot of time at her house reading her Digests. Thanks for the memory smile. :)
ReplyDeleteHave a blessed weekend!
Wow. A DMV agent. We have to drive about 14 miles to a town that consists of the State Troopers' office and the Department of Public Safety, and nothing else, to get a license. There is nothing else around for miles. This is Texas.
ReplyDeleteI have't seen a Reader's Digest in years. it used to be very popular here but perhaps they don't sell in the UK anymore.
ReplyDeleteI'd hug my vegan daughter but she's 200 mile away so it will have to be a virtual one!
I think I spy a wee kitty ear! :)
ReplyDeleteI love Reader's Digest. It actual has Articles!! As opposed to a ton of ads and fashion displays. And the jokes are the best!
calico cat in camouflage....love those kitties!
ReplyDeleteThank you for participating in the fill-ins, sorry I didn't get here sooner. That is sweet that you miss your daughter. Reader's Digest is a great magazine.
ReplyDeleteGreat answers, Mimi. I like Reader's Digest, too. Substance! I have been sick with a very bad cold. Stay well!
