Which Witch Is Which?

Posted by on Oct 31, 2014 | 2 comments

Okay, so here I am in my anthro costume—and do you think anyone even noticed? No way. A couple of visitors passed by me and said, Oh, Loulou, you’ve had a mug lift!!! Imagine—a mug lift indeed. I wouldn’t mess with my muzzle or mug or whatever you want to call it for all the chai in Tina (as papa says, haha—get it: all the tea in China, haha)....

You know, a day on which anthros visit their deceased friends and relatives is not such a bad idea, especially if one is religious, but even if one is not, which I am not, there is still a certain mysterious meaning to it all. Before mama found me, or rather I found HER and papa, I wandered around our little town and I slept sometimes at our lovely small...

Don’t’ you just love that description of that night when all the kitties dress up as anthros and try to pass? Personally, I like being in my own skin, but if it’s a night to go for the the garish, then so be it. And we kitties are so much a part of Halloween, Day of the Dead, All Hallow’s Eve, whatever be its name, that I think all day of...

Well, I’m not invited but mama and papa are going out to the opening of the yearly Antiquaires (Antiques market) that a friend of mama’s organizes and mama has made a lasagne for some of the vendors because they all eat together for lunch and some of the attendees bring in things for them to munch upon during their workday because the kitchen...

Oh, boy, mama just read an article about an experiment done during 5 days of intensive psychological immersion on a group of 75-year-old anthros in which they were to envision themselves 21 years younger (why 21? still to be determined) and were to discuss only subjects that were from that era, wear clothes from that era, and could have only photographs in...

Hmmm…fair of face.  Not sure about that one… Monday’s child is fair of face, Tuesday’s child is full of grace, Wednesday’s child is full of woe, Thursday’s child has far to go, Friday’s child is loving and giving, Saturday’s child works hard for a living, But the child who is born on the Sabbath day Is bonny...

You know, I sometimes sit around (well, okay, okay, lie around) thinking about what to write about that might REALLY interest anthros and kitties out there, and sometimes I simply draw a blank. Whatever that means. Because if I were to start drawing a blank with a pen or pencil, then what would be on the paper? A BLANK, duh. So I guess that’s what...

I ask you–do you find those pretty colored plastic bottle offensive??? Puh…lese. That description is sort of an oxymoron, really, because neighbors should really think about being nice to one another, living in such close proximity, no?  And our really kind and generous neighbour, to whom I say bonjour each morning when I go out to pee in the...

  Well, this is amazing.  When the Roma team, which I LOVE (Totti, Gervinho, Yanga Mbiwa, de Rossi, Pjanic, Manolas, Maicon, and so many other great players) played Bayern Munich the other night and were wiped out 7 to 1 (the Gazzetta dello Sport had a headline, “The Sack of Roma”), the tifosi,  (fans of the Roma) gave a standing ovation...

That’s someone else’s hand…but a nice shot of an arbouse. Oh, boy, did we have a visit from that wind from the mountains last night, the tramontane.  Mama says it’s just like a Texas blue norther!  Whatever that is… Mama had just had her hair dealt with in the US and everything that magic man, Rory, did just blew every...

Thank heaven, we are FRIENDS again, my little PC and I… Oh, boy, is mama looking sheepish. For almost a year now she has thought that her files were all screwed up on her/my computer, and so our guru came today and in about, oh, a nano-second, fixed that. They were simply not in alphabetical order…DUH, mama.  Listen to papa next time! Papa had...

Okay, okay, I know I’m a French kitty, and I really should have used champignons in the title of this blog but I couldn’t find any alliterative word that worked!!! So let’s go with the Italian one and marvel at the SACK of mushrooms that our nice neighbor, Christine, brought to our front door yesterday. Amazing number of perfect...

Well, mama looks a bit funny and so does papa and I think they need a bit of rest. They both think it’s yesterday and aren’t sure what today if and maybe even a bit iffy about tomorrow. Their sleep habits are off and it’s about 3 in the afternoon for them, but they pretended that dinner tonight was lunch, which confused me no end because...

WHOA…that fresh rosemary focaccia and those farfalle look pretty ominous!!! Watch out. You know, mama (who, as you know, loves to bake and spread what she hoped was joy and good taste among millions with her bakery’s products) came back from the US concerned about the obsession that so many people have about gluten being a poison that should be...

Is that a car I hear? I’m NOT coming in from this garden for anything! That’s The Return in French, which I’m sure is evident and not to be mistaken for le detour, which is what mama and papa appear to have made on this trip seeing as how they did a little jog to MAUI, for goodness sake and then back to Dallas and then back to Austin and...

Uh, oh, is that a car driving up? Pooh, false alarm…   Oh, boy, I think they are packing. Oh, boy, will mama and papa miss their lively, crazy family. Oh, boy, will they miss that Mexican food at Curra’s. Oh, boy, will they be glad to put their feet up for a little rest, maybe. Oh, boy, will they be sad to leave new friends. Oh, boy, will...

There they go AGAIN! Sending me yet another picture of yet another ANIMAL that is not ME. Okay, I. This time it’s Pea, papa’s sister’s and brother-in-law’s doggy who is one of a long line of chows they’ve had over the years. Poor schnozola of Pea shows a disease that most chows suffer from and can’t be helped, but it...

Won’t you help? Just drop a note to Alexandra and say hi. I know I have mentioned this website before, but I think it’s best to emphasize again the cruelty with which the citizens of Montenegro treat stray animals. My friend, Mungo, from Everycat just sent me the blogsite of a friend of his who kindly dedicated one of his blogs to information...

Even that Cookie-kookie ShiTzu loves that kitty! You are not going to believe this. I am in shock and frankly, it’s going to be cold day in hell until I have faith in my anthros traveling around the world and holding only thought of ME in their little pea brains. Here’s what happened: Mama and papa drove out to the little town where mama’s...

Texas Blue Norther movin’ in! (Beautiful photo by TextileRanger.com) Well, I hear that it’s COLD in warm old Texas and when mama got up this morning in Kerrville to visit her brother, it was pouring rain and chilly as all get out and she hadn’t brought any proper clothes (well, THAT won’t happy again…) and so she put on two dresses...
