Hola kitties! This is gonna be a brief one. Just some fill-ins and art. Today
is Stand Up to Cancer Day so I do have to mention TW's fight with the killer
C. It's also International Sudoku Day, which is one of the things that takes
up her time so she can't comment on you guys' blogs.
Stand Up To Cancer Day is observed every second Friday of September. It is a day for creating cancer awareness. It is also a time to support the fight against cancer, using various means. There are many new treatments and ways to cure/control this disease which affects practically every family at some point. TW's can't be cure but this month marks the second year she's been battling.
She's luckier than many others cos she's able to go to
one of the countries' three leading cancer hospitals. She has faith in her
doctor and her cat-loving rocknroll nurse navigator has her back. All of this
is possible cos she has really good health insurance which has paid 100% of
her treatment. If you're signing up for Medicare this year, she can give you
some sage advice regarding plans.
Caturday Art is hosted by the lovely Athena Cat Goddess Wise Kitty and her mum to showcase how talented us anipal artists are. We can use the many different digital apps, Photoshop or share original art.
We've lost Gramps, Gramma, Faith and Autumn through the years. Tell us in
the comments who you're standing up for. Create a
tribute placard
with the name of a loved one who you stand up for and share on social media
so I can see it.
1. A pleasant memory that I have from grade school is biting the teacher. Ok, you got me. I'll admit I never went to grade school. I went right to a high school for giftedstudents cats. TW doesn't remember that far back or I'd ax
her. Pop's memory isn't that pleasant since it involves the kids ushered
into the halls to learn of JFK's assassination and all the teachers
crying.
2. My plans this month include sleeping as much as possible and eating as little as possible. TW doesn't think I eat enough but I think I eat plenty. She just feeds me too much when I'm not hungry.
3. Please don't ask me to choose between brushies and FURmination. I get off on either about the same.
4. In 15 years, I see myself as the oldest living cat. And I'll still be stunning.
Friendly Fill-ins
Let's now answer some Friendly Fill-Ins, a weekly feature held at this time, which is already in progress. Our hosts—15andmeowing and Four Legged Furballs—need no innerductions as they are giants in the cat blogging world. They think up the fill-ins and I fill in the answers. My answers are boldface. This week my image relates to number one.

Caturday Art
Pablo Picasso said "Art washes away from the soul the dust of everyday
life". I hope my pencil sketch will wash it away for you. My tail may have
smudged it a little bit but in all the right places.

Gratuitous Stunning foto
A peek at my pink perch where I spend many hours every day.
I'm yawning but I hope you're not yawning when you read this post. Don't
forget to tell me who you're standing up for today and every day.
Love, Love, Love your pencil sketch. We hope one day soon they will find a cure for TWs cancer. We are so proud of her for fighting and continue sending her healing purrs and POTP.
ReplyDeleteThat is fabulous artwork of you, CK. We're sending many hopes and purrs and POTP for TW.
ReplyDeleteWe are happy TW is a fighter and has such.a good team on her side. Those were all good answers CK and beautiful art of the stunning you!
ReplyDeleteDidn't know about this; I'll make sure to add 'Stand Up To Cancer Day' to my calendar for the future!
ReplyDeleteWith your support, CK, TW has the strength of 100, and she's a fighter. Purring for her.
Terrific art, and I'll puzzle when on a break from work...thank you.
I'm so glad that TW has a good team on her side (and insurance)! We'll continue to send her healing vibes!
ReplyDeleteYOUR ART KEEPS GETTING BETTER. TW IS SO STRONG, WE SEND OUR LOVE EVERYDAY
ReplyDeleteMine Mommy says that once upon a time she stood up for her Daddy, for her little brother and for her special Poppy Vic, sadly though they all fell down and she kind of fell down for awhile with them. But that was long ago and they are still in her heart of hearts. Today she will "STAND UP and STAND STRONG" for YOU and
ReplyDeleteshe kind of knows (in the same heart) that you are not gonna fall down. She doesn't know why, her heart won't tell her why, I guess that's a secret or something, but you are going to stand up TW, today and every day to come, fur sure. Really, fur sure.
Prayers to all your family. My brother, my father, my grandfather and many more is who I stand up for.
ReplyDeleteCK, you are BEYOND BRAVE!!!!!! I stand up for everyone impacted by this awful disease. Sending much love!! xoox
ReplyDeleteWe keep TW in our purrs and prayers. We LOVE your artwork.
ReplyDeleteI am very glad TW has a good cancer team. When I was told the cancer had returned as an incurable metastases I asked the prognosis I was told 2 years, possibly 3 but I wanted more. It in now 5 1/2 years. I continue to stand up to it and won't give up!
ReplyDeleteYou will always be stunning, and great artwork too.
Purrayers to TW and all the other living beings battling the Evil C.
ReplyDeleteLove the art, CK! TW is an incredibly brave and strong lady, and we join you in standing up for her! In 15 years I want us all to still be here blogging!
ReplyDeleteI am glad TW is getting excellent care. She is in my daily prayers. I have lost my grandparents and aunts and uncles to cancer and as you know, I am about to lose my sister. Thank you for participating in the fill-ins, great answers. You will always be stunning at any age. I love your art. Thank you for the puzzle. XO
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you bit your teacher, CK, I wish I knew you back then, as there's a teacher that needed a bitey too😸 Granny has lost all of her family in 10 years on Cancer, also two of her best girlfurriends a few years ago and another best girlfurriend when she was only 13 years, and a few bloggers that we've known😿 We're so glad that TW and effurryone who have to fight against it, are still here and hopefully they will overcome it. Our purrayers go out to all of you and we stand up for all of them too🙏 Your art is as always stunning! Pawkisses from Heaven to you and Little Peachy and Stippie try to send one too🙈🐾😽✨
ReplyDeleteI have a friend who fought kidney cancer. They removed all they could see in his first surgery, and he had 10 more good years before it returned with a vengeance. We said goodbye to him last year.
ReplyDeleteThat Caturday Art is quite unique. When you look at it from a distance it just looks like certain areas are shaded, but up close it's little pencil strokes. Magic, I say. And you are stunning in all of your myriad manifestations.
We are glad that TW is such a fighter, has good insurance, and can go to such amazing cancer care centers. We are purring and praying for her, and sending love and all good thoughts! My dad was a fighter, too. He defied the odds, and lived with an incurable brain tumor for almost 18 years. The doctors were astounded, and at a loss to explain it. We were so lucky to have him for so many more years.
ReplyDeleteSending healing thoughts to TW. Your answers to the fill ins were great as always. Have a good weekend!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful sketch. Sending healing purrs and thoughts to TW x
ReplyDeletePurring and purraying for TW. You are right, there are so many new treatments these days - and early diagnosis also helps. Many of these did not exist when Grandma M., Mummy's Mummy, lost her battle with cancer nearly 50 years ago. We neffur knew her. Also Mummy's grandma and her auntie and her cousin.
ReplyDeleteWe are happy TW has good insurance - although We think EFFURRYONE should be able to get taxpayer-funded medical treatment, without having to worry if their insurance will cover it and without co-pays.
Hi CK! We are sorry that we are late! Our human has had a furry busy week - but she has been furry good at making excuses for NOT helping! The big C has affected our lives. We have lost some impawatant furrends and family. We are so glad that TW is doing well (and that she has great health care and she is in our purrayers every day). We LOVE your sketch! It is totally fabulishious (we are a little jealous, Mom's Art computer has been packed up since the painting and new flooring started - we will be happy when all the banging and splashing is finally done. maybe the Mom moaning will stop too! We send TW loads of hugs and I (Marv) send you head bonks and whisker kisses. Your #1 Fan Boy - Marv
