According to the rules, mikec will decide the theme for the November contest. Thanks to all for participating. Thanks also to California Peggy for guidance in helping this newbie in hosting the contest. Any mistakes were mine and mine alone, and there would have been many more without her patient help.

If I could compose all entries, would deserve a rhapsody—especially the winners. I don't know when I was last so enthralled with the entries to one of our contests.
IT MADE ME START TO LOOK AT CATS, AND MAYBE LIKE THEM A LITTLE.
I loved it all. And kept coming to look again.
