Oh, lordy, lordy, mama is at it again!

But I think it’s because I’m not with her that she oohs and aahs over the kitties and doggies she finds on her walks.  In fact, I’m pretty sure that’s it. But do they have to be so cute?

This is little miss via Appia–a kitty who lives out on the ancient Roman road where mama and papa took their nephew and family to see the amazing aquaducts, the cat-acombs (haha), and best of all, the little trattoria where Sandro makes tagilatelle with asparagus and other exquisite things.  Mama says his wife cooks the asparagus until very tender, sets some aside to chop up, but whips up the rest with a little butter and olive oil to make a nice thick sauce to toss with the pasta.  Num num!

But I digress.

This is one of the Largo Argentina kitties (remember that place that is a home for abandoned kitties?) but poverina, she has a very bad back leg.  Maybe mama will take her some food or something because she probably can’t hunt well.  Still, these kitties are not LOULOUS.

HAH! That kitty could care less about you, mama. Serves you right.

OH, NO, that’s papa petting that Appian way wastrel!  This is too much.  Two traitors in one family.

I’m off to get my party plans in order right NOW!

Of course you are all invited!  We have a lot of house re-arranging to do, right?
