Mr. Murphy does the deep "mrow" thing, too, whereas Muffin Man mostly talks when it's mealtime (and he sounds like a pathetic little kitten even though he's 7, I believe, LOL).

Bogey and I couldn't be more loyal to our humans. We're right there at the door when they walk in. And whenever they have a bad day, we're always there to give hugs and wet nose kisses. Plus, we know exactly how to keep them entertained. (Yes, we're absolute experts when it comes to being cute!) Let me tell you, taking care of humans is a lot of work, but we're up for the job!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13474010786635062463noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4163733401418146284.post-59732801026094945842013-12-18T20:34:32.055-07:002013-12-18T20:34:32.055-07:00Yay!

Since I have one curled in my lap at the moment, I will say the cuddles and the purrs. I might have another favorite tomorrow, however. I enjoy conversing with my Siamese, Myles, who always has the last word ("Mrow"). And Monte gives great acupuncture massages. And Mimi loves to play fetch or soccer with toy mice. Yep, cats are great. :-)Jill Stenglhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13218641704241875981noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4163733401418146284.post-79661969619283819472013-12-18T17:50:49.781-07:002013-12-18T17:50:49.781-07:00Ooooh . . .

You might say I'm on a bit of ...Thanks, Amber! You might say I'm on a bit of a mission with my murder mystery party game business. My main goal is to provide games that make it extremely easy for people to entertain at home, and make it simple for people to socialize. My games are more silly and funny, rather than true crime or blood and guts. Most of them are historical, so they truly do take you out of your own world for an evening and put you into another setting. It's surprising how people feel at the end of one of these parties -- they often feel a connection to each other, when they may not even remember each others real names. And, in this impersonal world of cell phones, iPads and laptaps, that's what I'm really after -- setting up a comfortable social setting where people can connect with each other. In person! <br /><br />Like you said, through this blog tour, we're giving people a chance to win three copies of two of my best-selling titles. Lies, Spies and Allies is set in the 1940s, and Diamond are for Eva -- kind of a Pink Panther spoof -- is set in the Jackie Kennedy/Camelot era of the early 1960s. Both games are a lot of fun!Cindy Vincenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15344562680026397671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4163733401418146284.post-87598111230691684052013-12-15T15:05:48.325-07:002013-12-15T15:05:48.325-07:00Okay, I've never done a murder mystery party b...Okay, I've never done a murder mystery party but they sound fun.<br /><br />We have feral cats because we live across the street from a park. They love to sit on the lawn in front of the big window in the living room and preen esp. when they know our dog is sitting inside and looking out and going crazy. LOL<br /><br />My favorite Christmas tradition is to sit in front of the tree Christmas eve with the family and read the Christmas story.
