Welcome, witches and goblins and critters of all sorts, on this annual celebration of the cat and all her particularly scary, mysterious, and spooky qualities. This Carnival of the Cats is ornamented with scary animations from Lucy Rand; the spitting cats above are courtesy of Ron & Joe, via Ample Sanity.
We have quite a collection today:

A final reminder:
Get those entries in, by 5:00 p.m. Sunday, Mountain Time. The Conservative Cat has taken down his carnival submittal form, but Blog Carnival still has theirs, and that is my strong preference for entries. The form makes things much easier on carnival hosts. Or, you can send your catblogging URL to submissions (at) carnivalofthecats.com.
Oh, I'm looking forward to all this kitty spookiness! To hold us over until then, here is a little Halloween teaser:

That's it for now -- I want to get this up early, but I'll come back in tomorrow to add the weekly roundup.
Friday morning, and here we have the roundup:

First, a reminder: not this Sunday, but next Sunday:
The Conservative Cat has taken down his carnival submittal form, but Blog Carnival still has theirs, and that is my strong preference for entries. The form makes things much easier on carnival hosts.
Today, though, some other people's terribly cute Montana cats. First up, a new shot of my cousin's cat, BibsTheCutestCatEver:

Staying with the black & white theme, this photo from Cute Overload, via David, who insists that his cat is the only true, authentic cow cat:

Actually, I don't know if the above cat is a Montana cat, but David's Cow Cat is. Another authentic Montana cat is Sarpy Sam's Buster:

Just for a little color, from Bitterroot and Bergamot, we have Gus, the Yoga Cat:

These were made with t.y.p.o.r.g.a.n.i.s.m. ASCII-O-Matic, via dailywebthing linkport
with these photos: 
Not very catlike portraits, are they? But mildly interesting. This one, from the site, is better:
More ASCII Cats (click images to go to originating sites for lots more):
On to the weekly roundup -- but first, a little Friday the 13th notice:
That's right, folks -- lots of time to plan that spooky, yowly post. Never fear, I'll remind you again. In the meantime, don't forget to visit:

Several folks have wondered just how small the MOO minicards really are; here is an illustration:
This little kitty card holder was designed to hold business cards; the MOO cards measure 28mm x 70mm (1 1/8" x 2 3/4") and are roughly half the size of a standard business card (3 1/2" x 2".)
From the MOO FAQ's:
They do not, however, come with kitty card holders.
Nor do they come with this very useful USB Intruder Alert Kitty:
I'm sure we would all feel more secure with this alert little kitty on guard, should we bring ourselves to step away from our laptop or calling cards for a moment or two. The world is filled with calling card pilferers, as any MOO MiniCard owner knows. At $24, far cheaper than human security, this little creature includes the following features:
Click the image to go see -- and hear -- it in action. Via the always enlightening popgadget.
We can imagine what Spike would think of this, especially as he is reliably the most frequent intruder.

Oh, were you looking for Unitarian kitties? They're here.
P.S. A note on my CATS page, which has been a page of links and many pet webrings. Apparently, Webring.com is going through some kind of major reorganization, involving fees for both members and ring managers. Thus, many rings are closing down, and I have been removed from others as I'm over the 'free' quota.
This is not an area where I want to expend my somewhat limited web funds, so I plan to just wait until it settles out, and then go in and redo the page. My apology for the interim chaos -- but there are still lots of fun links there!

OK, folks -- I know you've seen this before, but the new comment really tickled me, and I'm off to the Montana Festival of the Book to meet and listen to Mary, so I needed a quick cat-post:
Lollie Dot Com
says:
This cat hates you in four different ways
1. you make him think about coughing up a hairball in your bed again
2. you stink.
3. you lose the staring contest EVERY TIME.
4. you must talk to the butt.

The dogs got their tabblos earlier this week; now it's the cats' turn:
Silly critters. Spike and Boo belong to Catster; and Lucy and Henry belong to Dogster. About.com (to which I link only reluctantly: POPUPS!) recently listed a few other elite social clubs for our upscale pets -- one of which I will not link here because of even more obnoxious ads. But the others are:
I haven't played with any of these; let me know if you do. And if you want even more pet networking options, try:

We had visitors this week. This is Simon, from next door:
And this is a new neighbor, an unneutered tuxudo boy, to whom I have not been introduced:
Both have stationed themselves beneath the bird feeder; neither seems really cut out for successful hunting.
