Ashton: I’m reporting in for Formerly Feral Friday.

Some people think that I’m still kind of feral. *cough* manpeep *cough* hairball in shoe.

I can’t help that everything scares me. So I was really excited when Boomer at the Furries of Whisppy gave me the Opposites Attract award.

I love the flowers on it. They look really tasty.

The rules for this award are:

1. Thank the kitty who awarded it to me
   Thank you, Boomer! It was so nice of you to think of me with this beautiful award!
   
2. Post the award on our blog
   *points paw to the award above*
   
3. Award it to another kitty who is the opposite of me
   I honestly don’t know who has already gotten this award, so I am going to give it to a cat I admire who is very much the opposite of me: Flynn, from Eric & Flynn’s Adventures. He is the opposite of me because he’s a mancat and I’m a ladycat. Also, he’s brave and has big adventures, and I am shy and hide in the closet.
   

Thank you again, Boomer, for the award and the chance to share it!

A quick note so there aren’t any hurt feelings: We had another award presented to us yesterday, but we didn’t want to steal Ashton’s spotlight with it. Also, we were catching a really good sun puddle and didn’t want to write it up in a hurry when we were so comfy at the moment. So we’ll talk about that one someday soon!

Ashton: Today, we are practicing the sad face. This is important when you think dinner is late. Or just when you want it to hurry up.

Sit carefully in a location near where you would normally be fed. this allows the offending peep to notice that there is a vacancy that can be filled with a food bowl. Then lean forward a little, like you’re feeling weak because you haven’t eaten in so long. Finally, make your eye really big. It’s OK if you have two eyes, but you have to make them both big and sad. That’s probably more work than just doing it with one eye, so make sure you practice. Like this…

Sometimes the peep isn’t very bright, and it doesn’t work. It isn’t your fault. It just means you’re going to have to pull out all the stops to get through to them.

Meow pitifully to be sure you have the peep’s attention, then lay down right where you want the food to be while giving them the sad eye. Even the thickest-headed peep can’t miss that there’s no food in that location now, because they know you wouldn’t lay down on your food.

Practice, practice, practice, and you’ll get fed every time. You don’t think I got this Rubenesque figure by not knowing how to get extra food from the peeps, do you?
