Remember those tiny origami stars that made me so happy yesterday? Well, today’s happiness is brought to you by watching the antics that ensued when I decided to give one of them to Felix.
Felix and his lucky star
You might not think that a tiny bit of paper could be SO MUCH FUN for a cat, but you would be oh, so wrong! Even as I write this post I can still hear him scampering around downstairs, batting the star from side to side and having a grand old time.
It will certainly be interesting to see how long it lasts… both the crazy play session and the star itself. I might have to sacrifice another just to keep him happy… and to let Oscar get in on the fun as well!

Now, on to my photos from the first half of the Fat Mum Slim November Photo A Day Challenge. Oh, but first – I was thrilled when my photo for November 4 (Can’t live without) was highlighted in the “Extraordinary Eight” on the FMS Photo A Day Facebook Group. I was struggling a bit as I tried to think of a fresh way to communicate the idea, so I’m pleased that what I ended up with not only made me happy, but also clicked for someone else!
I’ve been sharing my photos on Instagram, Twitter, Flickr, and the FMS Photo A Day group on Facebook, but thought I’d also periodically do a round-up of my photos here on Alphabet Salad for the benefit of my readers who aren’t active on any of these platforms.
Hope you enjoy!
(Clicking on any of the photos below will take you to my Flickr account… and, depending on your browser, hovering over them will give you – in some cases – an explanation as to how I interpreted the prompt.)
November 1 – Something blue
November 2 – I saw this!
November 3 – Weather
November 4 – Can’t live without
November 5 – 8 o’clock
November 6 – Made me smile today
November 7 – On the floor

November 9 – Heck yes!
November 10 – I do this every day
November 11 – A set
November 12 – Normal
November 13 – Letters

To be continued – but in the meantime…
What made you happy today?

I love how the smallest of things get cats excited. Mine have been playing with this plastic bag for the last week! 🙂 Love your photo-a-day pics as always…

Ah, isn’t it fun what can amuse cats? The simplest of things, even a small (tiny?) bit of paper! How fun for him and for you! A video would have been great to capture that essence. 😉 Love your photos, in particular your interpretations of “made me smile” (photo of your cat), “I do this everyday” (scoop in cat food I presume), and “normal” (cat on/in photocopier), “letters” (cause I see my initials), and “hot and cold” (coloured pencils). Thanks for sharing them Laurel. 🙂 <3

Ha, I see your trivia contests have a photo round, too. We do terrible on those, mainly because we don’t know much pop culture. “No Friggin Clue” made me laugh, because I sometimes feel like writing that on our entry forms! I love your cat photos and your “reading corner”–so warm cozy–your set and the colored pencils-and of course the book. Which one is it? Great photos, as always, and congrats on being selected.

Thanks so much, Elaine! The book is one of my most favourites – A Tree Grows in Brooklyn. Delightful read!
