THE 2027 CALENDARS ARE AVAILABLE. There are SEVEN calendars this year – one that encompasses all the fosters, one for each set of fosters (the Nightcaps (which includes Kate & Ollie), the Dumplings Gang, the Greek Chorus), one with the permanent residents (including Milo) and two themed calendars: Rumdangle, of course, and Flying Kittens!, which is pretty Greek Chorus heavy, but also includes flying kittens from as far back as 2014.
I had to sort through 4,700+ pictures to make these calendars – and I hope that you see something that strikes your fancy. You can click on each image below to go directly to that calendar, or click here to see all of them. You have lots of choices – I default to the medium calendar when I’m creating them, but you can go bigger or smaller – just be careful and take your time and check out all the options.
Zazzle almost always has deals going on where you can save money on your purchases. As of yesterday if you enter the code FESTIVEPAPER, you’ll save 40% (I think it’s actually automatically applied).
Zazzle has a presence in other countries – check here to see if yours is one of them. If so, you can add store/loveandhisses on the end of the url to look at the calendars and have them sent to you from your own country (which will be cheaper than having them shipped from the US.)
(There are links in the sidebar, and of course I’ll mention calendars regularly through to about mid-January, as always.)

Pete, ready to pounce. Smitty, hanging out in the patch of volunteer cosmos (which I think are so pretty.)

I pinched a stem off of one of my catnip plants and Khal flounced right on over and said “Oh, the good stuff!” while Smitty said “This smells interesting!”
We have two catnip plants – one in a big pot that we’ve had for about 15 years. Every time I think I’ve killed it (accidentally!), it surprises me and comes on back. The other catnip plant is in the garden. The cats generally ignore both plants, though occasionally someone will hang out in the potted one.

I know they say that catnip doesn’t affect cats until they’re 6 months old, but 4 month old Pete begs to differ.

The boys all enjoyed the catnip.

Pete and Magoo discuss who that catnip belongs to.

“It’s the good stuff!” says Pete.

“Yo. You holding?” asks Magoo.

“Verrrrry interesting,” thinks Smitty.

“You got some for me, lady?” asks Rocco. Of course I did… and of course he wasn’t interested.

Pete knows that if you’ve got time to lean, you’ve got time to clean!

Smitty considers his next round of shenanigans.

⏪THE DAILY REWIND⏪ Archie, the permanent resident who passed away in 2023, had a real vendetta against dishtowels. Enjoy this video of him giving dishtowels The Business, and (at the end) having a starvation.

Pete’s gonna hang out with his cool big brother (Magoo).

A box of paper & a very pleased Pete.

Good night innernets. (Charlie)
