I love all the different themed daily challenges that crop up at this time of year. Usually I do my own version by taking 31 toy photos that follow some kind of theme.
I was gonna do something with Re-Ment's Witch miniatures, but I missed Oct 1.
I did, however, take this pic.
I mean, a black cat is basically. Living Halloween decor, right??
So please, join me on a month-long chronicle of Licorice's Very Normal* Adventures.
*This better not come back to bite me in the ass
October 2nd: our kittens are now 8 months old, and they've been calming down quite a bit. I thought it might be safe to open the window shades and let them enjoy some sunlight.
I was wrong.
October 3: Licorice has friends on the other side...
it's me
i'm the friend
Licorice would like to be on my side of the door now
October 4: I bought this hoodie-with-kitten-carrying-pouch over five months ago, and this is the first time Licorice has stayed in it for more than a few seconds. Look how much she's enjoying it! #31DaysOfLicorice
October 5: Licorice is a mighty huntress maybe
#31DaysOfLicorice
October 6: The camera loves Licorice and Licorice loves it right back #31DaysOfLicorice
October 7: Licorice has just met this catnip mousie and she loves it
October 8: Licorice and Pudding engage in the most ancient and sacred of cat traditions, "Hunting Something That Only Cats Can See"
October 9: This is what you see moments before a Licorice unexpectedly erupts from under the blanket. #31DaysOfLicorice
October 10: Licorice is queen of all she surveys...
Licorice is also a champ at finding places just beyond my reach.
October 11: I suddenly felt a weight on my back, which quickly became a weight on my shoulder...

October 12: sometimes Licorice's jumps don't turn out the way she expects
#31DaysOfLicorice
October 13: when Licorice is petted, she pets back
October 14: The elliptical machine is in the kittens' room, so the kittens usually stay in a playpen during our workouts. Tonight, we tried not using the playpen.
This was a mistake.
October 15: Licorice reminds us all the importance of staying hydrated!
October 16: I forgot to take a photo of Licorice for #31DaysOfLicorice 😱
October 17: Licorice is far too mature* to play with window shades** like her brother Pudding
*This is not true
**Neither is this
October 18: Licorice is willing to consider maybe batting at the wand toy, perhaps
October 19: we had to turn on the heat last night 🥶
October 20: Licorice and Pudding were allowed into the home office today, and Licorice made herself quite at home.
October 21: naptime scritches
October 22: Licorice has started hanging out near the office door. She doesn't necessarily try to leave through it, she just... hangs out.
October 23: Licorice has a new scratching pad! Pudding is also allowed to use it sometimes
October 24: Licorice has her eye on Pudding... #31DaysOfLicorice
October 27: I was going to put Licorice in the playpen so I could do an elliptical workout, but she had other ideas.
October 28: Licorice investigates my black cat-eared hoodie
October 29: After months of disuse, the tent on the cat tree has been reclaimed by Licorice!

Have a safe and happy Halloween, and always supervise your pets when they play with toys and costumes!
