Well, mama starting writing my thoughts for me about 12 years ago, maybe a bit more, and this is one that I particularly liked as it tells you pretty clearly who I am…er…was. So I urged mama to publish it, just for fun. I got mama to help me shorten my blogs so they wouldn’t overwhelm readers because I do tend to rattle on, haha…...

Just lying here absorbing through my tummy’s glow the sweetness and kindness of the three little cuties below. This photo made mama so happy and teary about how kindness can be found in so many places and all we have to do is SEE it and nourish it and watch it grow. That’s it for today❤️. Meanness out, kindness in, hope these little ones make...

Turned on my magic tummy searchlight to check out this Sunday’s happenings…and  …oops, we are getting a bit damp here, but not much. Just enough to clean off the streets a bit, which, I see from my vantage point, need it, especially now after Saturday night’s rowdyness. A sweet thing, however, that happens often under our windows on...

  Well, I turned on my special tummy seachlight today when I went looking for kitty-friends at Largo Argentina, the kitty shelter near us here in Rome, but I only found a few.  Maybe the others were napping in the ruins. We kitties do that, you know, haha. I’m happy that at least this one had an anthro touch…these kitties get a bit lonely...

1. Back in the day, __before cell phones, anthros seemed to pay more attention to their surroundings and other anthros  and appreciate them more than they do now. Mama did this one: 2.A talking kitty__ is an unconventional pet I would like to have. (Like me, mama?) 3. Though __ all mama’s job (s) is have been her my dream job(s), I’d  she would...

  I’m posing so that you see the resemblance to my cousin… …who lives in the Largo Argentina, which is a cat refuge near where we stay. Oui, oui, it’s true I was/am a French kitty, but I did travel often to Rome with mama and papa  several times and so I do have memories of my visit and now can see all the lovliness whenever I...

That is one BIG hole, mama. Doesn’t the rain come in? No? Wow, good architect! The Pantheon with its famous hole in the ceiling… So many statues to perch upon and survey the antics of the “senate and people of Rome”…senatus et populus qua romanus”…on every Roman manhole cover and elsewhere on public properties....

I smell CHICKEN! Well, more on that later. Mama really should have helped me put in the anecdote about Bernini’s elephant but she forgets things often sometimes. Pretty funny story, eh? We love telling that story to visitors who are  seeing the little elephant for the first time and we always get a giggle. Speaking of which, let’s get more...

So much ancient creativity in this warring world…I’m worn out from seeing so much beauty. Well, with these northern lights decorating the skies, we are hoping they will not affect other areas – communications and so on. I guess I am thinking about the wonders of our universe and planet and feel we must have respect for what it can do. The...

Taking a tour of my Rome digs to make sure all is going well. Well, when I was often visiting the Rome family with mama and papa, I used to look out our windows on a bright Sunday morn,  and there was always a story lurking there…. I’m along on their visit this time to check on those teen-ager-grand-anthros and make sure they are studying and...

Life is too short to tolerate __mean, crass,disgusting, misogenistic, racist boors like Trump. 2. My sweet blogger friends and mama and papa__gives me hope. ALWAYS and EVER, thank you. 3.

You may not know this, but where I am WE have Power Paws and I’m thankful for them.  Sort of like magic wands, and I have observed that they WORK. Am working on Gaza right now… Well, I just couldn’t think of a good title for my blog so dipped into turkey time and jazzed it up a bit. But I do wish to give thanks first to all of your blogs,...

(I come in here because it’s my favorite place to think) Donc, and after thinking a bit, here’s the dilemma: the way I feel now (which is anyway I want to feel whenever I wish!), it’s a toss up between just floating around observing the weirdness of the world in general or taking a bit of time to speak up about the very real live lunatics...

Well, this young man caught our attention. This amazing young man in the EIGHTH GRADE will be forever in our thoughts. Inspired by him, today’s spark from me is “trust your instincts and courage”! Sometimes we wander around in our heads thinking ‘should I, would I, dare I, is this the right choice’ when our hearts and bodies...

Bonjour out there, everyone, on this sunny Sunday. I came inside to visit my couch and give my kitty whisperer a little soulful sample of when we used to be together when mama and papa went off to visit the Italian part of the family. I know my aunty Sue felt my presence because I could see her smiling when she thought I might come in from the jardin and...

Well, bonjour, chers amies, I’m hanging out here in the colorful float I chose for Saturday. Isn’t it amazing what one can do as one continues just BEING, in whatever form that might BE, haha. A lovely spring-filled-flower-filled weekend to everyone and hope that basil seeds take root and rain lets up and gardens get planted (and mulched) and...

My WordPress was simply NOT there for a day or two…I thought I could fix anything now! But I conjured up a really good guru, Jorge Pires, and he fixed it FAST! Jorge is a WP expert, thank heaven…mama recommends him...

Think, think, think…. Today I am thankful today for brains! And well, I’ve been thinkin’. Not always a wise move, haha! Mama and papa are stalled on their trip because of weather and it’s not all that nice here in my waterlogged garden but what the heck. I’ll just think it through… Maybe thinking really hard can stop the...
