SUNDAY FUNNIES: ALL ABOUT MEOW

Hello Everybody! Piper D. Katt here!
Another (lazy) Sunday is upon us and at the moment I have absolutely no idea what to write about. Considering how rare its appearances have been lately with all the rain, rain, and more rain there has been; all I really want to do is just sit in the window sill and enjoy my sunbeam for awhile.
But as fun as that is, at least to me, that's not why I'm here. Is it?
In any event, let me roam around a bit and see what I can scratch up without getting into any trouble, for my people keep saying their furniture is not additional scratching posts.
I know.
I'll take about a cat's favorite subject. Me!

They say making mistakes is better than faking purr-fection.
"And that's how you capture the red dot!"
Whoever "They" are also claim that you can learn from your mistakes, so I've decided to make even more mistakes than I already have. Then I will become a purr-fect genius.

Two reasons I don’t trust people.
1). I don’t know them.
When my people have company come over, they're all like "Oh, look at the beautiful cat." Granted, I am beautiful but if they're such big cat fans, why don't they offer to pet me, feed me, or change my litter box?
2). I do know them.
Last time my people offered me a car ride, I thought we were going out to buy new cat toys but instead we went to the vet!
You do NOT want a thermometer where they stick it in meow!🙀
Pussy Willows. 😉

I have learned that there are two words that open many doors for people. PUSH and PULL.
For cats, there's just one. NOW!
Especially if my people are tying up the room where my litter pan is!

There should be a calorie refund for food that does not taste as good as expected.
Some of the things I've managed to swipe off the table when no one was looking taste horrible.
What do you people see in such things as SOUR cream anyway?
Who said cream should be sour to begin with?

Believe in yourself. If Cauliflower can become a pizza and other foods, you can become anything.

Admit it.... Life would be so boring without me in it.
And on that note♫, have a great week.
Take care.
STAY SAFE!😷
And please be back here again next weekend for more Sunday Funnies!PDK.

THE PUZZLE CORNER: JULY 18, 2020

😎FUN FACT
Thus far Roger Moore has made the most movie appearances as British Secret Agent James Bond but because of the delays between films, current Bond actor Daniel Craig has the longest tenure in the role, to date.

We haven’t done a themed Puzzle Corner in a while, so...

NUMBER PLEASE
Get ready! We ask the question, but the answer is just a number.
How many movies has Roger Moore portrayed James Bond in?

TRIVIA TIME⌚
Whatever your answer to this week’s NUMBER PLEASE, can you name them all?

FAMOUS FIRSTS🥇
The first Bond novel written by creator Ian Fleming was NOT the basis for the first Bond movie. Can you name both titles?

THE 50/50 CHANCE
Just like a regular TRIVIA TIME question, except there are just two possible answers, hence the even odds of getting it right. Ready?
TRUE OR FALSE: Actor George Lazenby made only one appearance as James Bond.

NEXT?
What is the next item(s) in the sequence below?
Sean Connery, George Lazenby, Roger Moore…

BEFORE AND AFTER
Two separate items share at least one word, and so can be combined to create something new. Based upon the clue below, do you know what the new thing is?
A James Bond Double Feature: Allow to exist until tomorrow?

GEEZ. One more puzzle, especially if it could have been COMMON BONDS, and we’d have 007!😉

We’ll reveal all next weekend but for now, let’s open up THE ANSWERS BOX📦 and discover the results from the July 11, 2020 Puzzle Corner.

TRIVIA TIME⌚
In what sport is a Jack the ball?
