Dreaming of goats…
Well, mama’s friend, Anne, sent this really lovely website of a photographer who did a series of really amazing GOATS!
I know this is a kitty blog and does at times allow doggies to grace its pages, but these goats are remarkable. Actually, we would love to have one around here to take care of the very few weeds and leave a little..er….calling card to fertilize the garden, but I’m afraid I have heard that goats eat everything in sight, even tin cans!
They had better not eat my tuna can when it’s half full. Not nice manners at all! What am I saying, mama is NOT getting a goat, that’s for SURE, if I have anything to say about it.
Still…
Maybe goats make really good friends. Maybe goats know how to wangle more treats out of my abstemious MAMA! A regular Simon Legree with food when I’m on a diet and because the vet suggested…SUGGESTED, I repeat…that perhaps, just maybe, sort of if-fy but possibly it would be nice to drop a few grams off my tiny, svelte body.
We’ll see about that. I’m a bit logy, low and listless without my proper intake of calories. Or maybe it’s just a sulk. Yes, I think it’s more like that.
If I really begin to starve, you kitties out there can send virtual treats so I don’t faint from hunger…haha. More like feint!
In case you’re wondering, TREATS GO HERE!
OMC Loulou! You can fit a lot of treats in there.
I have to watch my treats lately. But when I lose a few grams, I’ll be back at them!
Our Grandpa has goats you can see them here http://boergoats.blogspot.com/
He used to have milk goats and Mommy loves goat milk.
Oh, I remember reading about your goats on your wonderful blog. Darling goats–I remember their photos. Wish we could have one but our garden is too precious and too small. LOVE goats.
A goat? Hmm… Mom & Dad would like one to eat all the non native blackberry vines that try to take over behind our fence. But Mom wouldn’t want them to eat her flowers. I think I’d like to try goats milk. It might be nom nom. Have you tried it? I can’t believe the V-E-T suggested that you diet. I love your beautiful girly curves. Winks!
Listen, my V-E-T oohed and aahed over me an then said that roly-poly thing. I couldn’t believe it either, so now I’m cutting back on the kibble for a week…and I liked her so much before.
Nope, no goats around here. I hate beards, and them goats always seem so badly shaved and unkempt. Plus if they eat everything I dare say my nip crop will be ruined too!
Sending virtual tins of premium tuna, nip and treats your way. Just hope they make i through the virtual customs (AKA your mom!) MOL

Hey, tuna arrived! I am having a virtual supper of those great cans from you. Merci!
LOLLOL – Mama reading all these comments and I heard her say we will NOT get a goat since we live in an apartment it would probably learn how to open the refrigerator! Even though they are too cute for words. And there goes my croquettes. And mama’s flowers (even the fake ones). But the diet thing – EEK – looks like we’re both in trouble there. And I thought we were the supermodels of our respective species!! Harrumph. What do THEY know!!! There’s even a boutique in Nice called “Ronde et Belle” – that’s us!!!
A boutique for kitties? I am coming to visit.
I have read in several places that goats are very destructive, they are cute though. I hope you get some snacks.
Those critters would eat us out of house and home, whatever that means!
Wow LouLou- nothing like broadening your horizons ! And no worries about the tuna cans – that old tale probably came from a goat chewing on the paper label, or so I’ve heard. (Wait – if they don’t eat tin cans, why would they eat paper ? Hmm.) I know they eat multiflora rose, and the only other way to get rid of it is with napalm. Anyway, I don’t think goats would eat tuna. Asparagus, maybe.
You are so funny. NAPALM! But they are so, so cute. Don’t worry, no goats around MY territory.
Hey LouLou! You may be righ. Mama doesn’t need a goat. Sherlock looks like he has considerable goatitude. Sydney seems pretty suspicious but if Mama got a goat like Xenia, well, no. Better no goats 🙂
Nobody’s gettin’ my goat any time soon!
WOw, your Mom has really cool friends! Our Mom’s friends are no use. Then again, who needs humans anyways. Apart from putting as many treats as possible into your mouth of course.
I know you have lots of cool friends, too! Treat-type friends, right?
