Carnival Barker Rocky: Ladiezzzzz and gentlemen ... step right up to see the greatest traveling cat show on earth! For the modest price of internet access, you'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll shriek in amazement at the magic and acrobatics and sheer wonder of cats across the world! .........The Carnival's first attractions are real treats: It's a whirlwind of flying Temptations, towels, toys & toilet paper over at Missy & KC's, where the Texas Tornado (aka Faith Boo) strikes again!
And at This, That & The Other Thing, Cubby picks up where Sox left off in whapping out the Temptations hiding place. (On a serious note, their humans are having a difficult time, but Mouse is helping them take their minds off their troubles.)
Free treats! Devin kitty tests Greenies Dental Treats on Woman Tribune -- and tells you how to get a free sample!
Speaking of treats, Cece the cow kitty is waiting impatiently at iInfidel.
Now this is definitely a treat! Kashim and Othello's momma built them a great new scratching post for their balcony at The Catboys Realm.
At Life from a Cats Perspective, sometimes you have to recover from too many treats. Samantha and Mr. Tigger are recovering from Mr. T's surprise birthday/gotcha day party at M-Cats Club.
Oh, this is simply magic: A stunning photo of the actual Rainbow Bridge at Blog d’Elisson ... Oh, look! ... Who's that we see?
At Mind of Mog, the Friday Ark is NOT spam ... and Meowza drinks to that!
Now, feast your eyes upon this cuteness: Poppy, a little feral mom and her newborn baby kittens over at Cat Care, Breeds and Resources.
But This is Cyprus proves that a kitty's mom doesn't have to be a cat. Don't miss The Tale of Tessie and the Turtle.
Oh, poor Parker! She's lonely and in need of some serious scritches at Perfectly Parker.
There are kitties of all kinds in the Carnival ... and some are very busy ... At Chica & Pumuckl in Egypt, Pumuckl has assumed all entertaining and stalking duties while Chica is in quarantine ...
Edison has been very busy having whapping matches with Clara at anniemiz... and is sporting the scars to prove it.
Aloysius is completely occupied with trying to figure out why the humans at Catymology moved all his furniture.
Abby, Jinx & Gracie are busy waiting for the mysterious door to the forbidden room to open at Manx Mnews.
"Oh hai. In teh beginnin" ... The kitties at Meeyauw are busy presenting LOL Cat Bible: Lectionary Readings for the First Sunday after Pentecost and Ceiling Cat has the really hard job of creating the universe! ...
At Chey's Place, presidential candidate Chey is busy getting lost on the campaign trail. See if you know where she is!
That "uncooperative little cuss" Kismet is ... well, not too busy squeaking out a very quick video hello at TacJammer.
Meowza is busy rolling in the dirt over at iMeowza.
Their old friend Matilda is visiting the Ranger kitties while they're recuperating from the Snot-bonic Plague at Strange Ranger.
Mischief and Hi are involved in their exhibition of how two kitties can get along in the same condo at Your Moosey Fate.
Mr. Sebastian is preoccupied with using the laundry to demonstrate his skills as a hair relocation stylist at Furry Paws.
But not all kitties are busy. Things start to calm down a bit at Composite Drawlings where TiGrr and Peanut have called a truce and are doing an imitation of two attached meat loaves.
It's all easy -- and very beautiful, too -- with Snow and Forest.
China Cat was taking it somewhat easy ... until she was rudely interrupted by the flashy thing at China Cat's Blog ...
Jax, a rescued furbaby, is easily living the good life at Texas Oasis.
All the way over in Jerusalem, Missy enjoys peacefully gazing out the window over at Elms in the Yard.
Beautiful Bebe is a picture of purrfect contentment at The Poor Mouth.
Lovely Munchkin is luxuriating on video with some lavish mom attention at Cathouse Chat.
And finally, what would a Carnival be without goodies and games of chance? Don't miss your chance to win some wonderful signs that were donated by The Wren's Nest over at Cat Friends Helping Friends ... but you should go now because the raffle ends tomorrow, May 19! All raffle proceeds will help build up funds to help kitties in need.
Also, Auntie Deb & ML’s Auctions end in just a few hours -- tonight at midnight ET. 100% of the money goes directly to Mokie, Orange Boy & Sissy, who has kidney/liver failure.
............
Don't miss the next Carnival of the Cats
Sunday, May 25
at the M-Cats Club!
What, we don't have enough cats around here? Let me tell you, I stuck a bargain basement cheapo price on this worthless overstuffed fake feline!
And making change for an endless parade of shoppers ...
And dodging boxes thrown around in the shoppers' frenzy of mindless consumerism ... 
The only enjoyable part of the day was meeting lots of new people and old friends ... like our good woofie friend, Sassy, and her mom Lois:
Well, that and taking a break or two when the sun finally came out and warmed things up: 
Then I had to spend my entire Sunday cleaning up the mess and prowling around all over town again to take down all my signs! 
YUM! I think I'd give up Temptations for a platter of that seafood stinky goodness!!
