THEY DID WHAT? Well, today, it’s hats off to two extraordinary anthros who have turned over their own house to over 86 dogs!!! “We are just guests here,” says Ron, of the two wonderful men anthros who are finding homes for abandoned doggies and taking them in to be cared for until adoption. I just had to mention these sweet and...

Is this the muzzle of a happy kitty? NO WAY, JOSE. Well, papa thinks I should stay in for a couple of days to see if there might be something I’m coming in contact with in the garden and something that might make me a bit lethargic or sullen or whatever, but I can tell you right now I am NOT happy. I know it’s for my own good, however,...

Well, something a little different today, some of mama’s old, pretty corny drawings that I dug up in her studio. She doesn’t know it yet, so I’m lying low…...

Hey, do I look like a kitty who needs TRAINING? I know perfectly well how to sleep, relax, hang out, stretch, and much, much more but for some reason, mama has put my food into my awful cag…er…lovely traveling apartment. See – mama made it all nice and comfy with that wonderful soft thing we got from Cat Solarium’s Melissa and...

Well, I would like you to take a good, long look at this kitty who VANQUISHED an intruder last night, scaring the bejesus out of mama (who was blithely writing something on the computer she borrowed from ME) and who, when she heard the shrieking of the battling warriors, FINALLY ran outside to…well…save the INTRUDER from a fate worse than...

Well, now mama can relax, because a really nice neighbour came over with her Mac and showed mama how mama would be able to copy or drag or snap her pictures right into a email and all sorts of other great things a Mac can do that mama’s (old…) PC simply cannot handle. Mya’s mama had shown mama other things, too, but now she is REALLY...

What’s that? I hear something. Is it outside or inside? Should I be worried? Is mama worried? Is papa worried? Whatever that means… Is someone in our house? Maybe it’s that monster under the bed! Well, I went downstairs to find out what’s going on around here. No one was here but I’m sure I heard something! WHAT IS GOING...

Well, I was just wondering…do you ever put your foot in your mouth? I don’t seem to have trouble doing just that, but it was mama who really blew it recently. A visit from a friend known only through emails was interrupted during what started out as a nice lunch under the umbrella but when the subject of politics arose, oh, boy. I won’t...

After having conquered the fearsome Nip ‘Nana, I have begun to attack The String!!! My yoga discipline prepares me for this feat. It is even more dangerous and threatening than ‘Nana because it twines and flexes and jumps and stretches all around, looping itself over paws and ears, and without coordination and planning for some days, The...

Well, first I’m going to teach you how to deal with nip toys of any kind. First you secure the premises, as any nip item can leap out of your paws and the consequences are unimaginable. Once you have it, let it know who is BOSS! Give it a few nips yourself, just to keep it in its place. With other nip items, follow the same rules, ALWAYS at the...

Oh, what a nice little wind… Well, I am out in my garden and there is the most wonderfully soft, silky breeze just wafting along, barely moving the little marigold heads and just ruffling my fur with a velvet touch. Ah, summer. I’m sorry, I’m just not a winter or fall person…spring maybe. How about you? There’s something...

Well, last night mama and papa drove over to a vineyard to hear a young man who has won the Django Reinhardt award for excelence, one of the biggest awards in France for music, and mama says he was SPECTABULAR! His name is Paul Lay and he’s won just about every award you can win for music. Along with him was a bass player (whatever that is) and a...

And I didn’t even KNOW them and they brought such a nice prezzie! Well, this nice lady who came to visit from Alabama brought the most wonderful drawing that she had found on the Internet and had the artist make the normal kitty in the drawing into a Tuxie. Mama’s going to do a close-up, but it’s a tuxie making BREAD! Just as I DO! So...

I thought they would play with my ‘Nana but no one was interested. So I did. Papa said maybe use Post Partum, but uh, that didn’t sound quite right, and then mama said, Post Mortem, and I REALLY didn’t like that one so we settled on the one above. Well, that title sounds as if my posts are having their own party, but I’m only using...

I’m drooling all down my front thinking about those marinated sardines… Well, tonight we are having some people for dinner, not actually FOR dinner, make that TO dinner, whom mama and papa have never met and so we don’t know what to expect and what they eat or drink and all those things anthros worry about. One thing is for sure, they...

You may not recognize this position since I rarely use it and mama just happened to catch me “hunting” a feather fishing rod (can’t food me–it’s fake but fun). You see, I have to practice, because the other day mama was talking with her neighbour, Jean, and both she and he saw this grey tabby leaping and jumping and looking as...

HEADS UP, SUMMER LOVERS! A very timely note arrived a few days ago from a reader who turned us on to James Wellbeloved, and information about summer dangers for all animals (except maybe Texas rattlesnakes – it’s humans that are THEIR danger) during the hot summer months. Thank you, Mr. James. Since they are not over yet, the summer months...

Well, you may or may not know that we kitties tend to leave our coats around in the summer a bit more than winter and SOMEONE is always having to pick them up and that SOMEONE decided long ago that to brush, brush, brush my silken self would be the best remedy for those moutons (as they are called in France, little sheep) under beds, in corners, on the...

Isn’t this a good idea? Well, I have turned over a new leaf, whatever that means, and decided to aid and abet mama while her head clears up (outside that is, can’t speak for the interior!) and this morning I took breakfast to her IN BED! Oh, boy, was she thrilled to get a double portion of kibble (in...

Double entendre? Well, THEY will be home by the time you read this and I will have basked in their total attention, had extra kibble and become totally spoiled by affection and love, so I’m just going to lie back and enjoy all the snuggles and pets. But,...
