Halloween is just around the corner

Stanley was such a sweetie @sallypup

@rebelann I bet. I can't help thinking Stanley Steamer.

@rebelann Sonny J is the most expressive cat that I've yet to meet. He doesn't even like cheese. Stanley is a great kitty name.

Thank you for that good question @evans777. For me, Halloween or Samhain technically, is a New Year. Its the end of harvest. Its the start of the cold season coming into my corner. Its also a spiritual time for me. I say hello and thank you to those who have gone before me; those dear people who have helped me walk my path. Thank you for asking.

@evans777 I don't have a good answer for you. I think it depends on the person you ask. I was raised a Catholic but now that I am an adult, I lean toward the pagan or Wiccan. Many people find Halloween to be silly. I don't. So, yes, its personal for me. I do my best to hold all life in a sacred trust. I try to be open to everything and that includes what might come after our bodies are worn out. Feel free to ask me again- I will do my best to stutter through.

Wow, I had no idea it had such a meaning. Is it general, or personal? @sallypup

@just4him Good question. The wheat flour is freshly ground so it has no preservatives. It also has all its natural wheat germ and if that flour is not in the freezer, it could go rancid. I ate some rancid wheat germ once and it tasted super nasty, like a throat burn. That cured me and now I put the flour in the freezer where it stays fresh.

@sallypup That's good to know. I didn't know you ground your own.

@CarolDM Sonny sends his thanks. He is weird. I have tried to give him chicken, turkey, cheese. No. Tuna: yes.

@sallypup Most cats love tuna, kind of glad mine don't due to the smell.

@CarolDM I can't smell so tuna does not bug me.
