First, let me say how sad we all are that Flynn is no longer with us. Love and kind thoughts to his family who had two of the loveliest kitties on earth.
This year has been heavy with kitties leaving us. I hope so much that the future will hold more joy than sorrow…

Up To New Tricks
Now, let’s have a look at this silly thing mama bought for 1 euro that is supposed to attract me to claw it or scratch it or whatever, and I have NO idea what I am supposed to do with it other than wish it were GONE. I think I’m to step on one end, and papa will jump from very high, maybe off the kitchen counter and land on the OTHER side and I will do a triple flip in the air and land on my feet and everyone will applaud.
Not what it’s for, you say?
Well, who the heck knows what it’s for???
Mama, why do you buy these things in the first place? AHA, I can stand on it to see out the window more better.
Loulou, we do not say “more better”–we say see out the window more easily.
Okay, okay, but if you’d pass this thing on to some other kitty, I think I could live with that and he or she could see OUT THE WINDOW MORE EASILY.
Hey, I’m a quick study.
MAYBE MYA WANTS IT! She is coming to visit and SHE can stand on one side and have papa jump on the other one. Doggies DO tricks, after all, and I have NO intention of keeping this thingy around.
Mya, hurry up and visit, PULEEZE!
This thingy is driving me BONKERS!
BUT, read on…
Whew ! You win, LouLou ! (THIS round, anyway ! ) Bisous !
Oh, I just get carried away and can’t stop myself. Mama is even worse than I am with funnin’…er…punnin’.
We’re very sad about Flynn too, LouLou. You made a beautiful tribute though. I know how you feel about the scratcher thingie, I have one and just don’t know what to do with it either 😀
I also want to thank you for reading my interview on Mousebreath. Double Pawkiss for the weekend 🙂 <3
It was a pleasure and you are adorable on your back getting snuggled by …papa?
Well, I for one would love to get my claws into that thing, Loulou. ~Wally
Oh, Wally, I could send it to you but from France, the mail will cost WAY more than the object! As in object: $2 and mail: $50!
I agree about the losses in our community this year. So much sadness already. But posts like yours do help to bring cheer. Hoping you get that platform figured out soon!

That thing is going to keep me up nights!
oops – my mail put momma’s name on it!! Not sure how that happened – unless (horror!!) she has access to my computer!!!!
What do you mean, put mama’s name on it? What mail? You have your own private EMAIL???
So sad Flynn is gone. He looked like a sweet kitty and know he will be missed. And mama says that article is TRUE – she knows kitties love us for sure. Who could doubt it that’s ever had one!
Well, Loulou, I’m not sure about that new toy – but can’t wait to see YOU!!! How about you standing on one end and ME jumping on it, hehheh!!! Or we could put kibbles (or those little tomatoes) on it and then jump on it and run around and see who eats the most! And see how loud our mommas can scream!! That could be fun. We’ll think of something…..
Boy, are you fun. I wish you lived closer!
That is a nice scratcher. We are sad about Flynn, he was a sweet boy.
Yes, and beautiful, so beautiful.
Thank you for your kind words on the loss of our darling boy.
We are all so sad. I hope your life will be brighter soon, but I don’t think it will. Sorrow takes time.
Does it move – like a seesaw ? That might be fun. You could lie down on it in the loaf position – or sprawl on your back. Or sharpen your claws, but that begs the question, doesn’t it ?
Wait, I have to look up ‘loaf position’ and then get back to you….good ideas, I’m sure.
This should explain “cat loaves” nicely, as well as how to differentiate from “monorail cats” (and, if you get the same sidebar ads I did, how to diagnose fatty liver in humans.) If you adopt the ‘cat loaf” position, be sure Mama kneads you properly !

Thiis is the link I forgot to enclose…
WOW! Those kitties are very well bred, haha. Seriously, they are all adorable. One looks like an OWL. So cute.
THAT IS HILARIOUS. I am ALWAYS in that loaf position but does that mean I’m a loafer? Hey, did that get a rise out of you. Haha. I’m feeling a little crusty today…
Donut believe for a moment that I am muffin my response to your comments. I am just distracted by the barking of my bagel out back !
Oh, boy, have to listen to that bagel!!!! And oh, boy, we could get started on these ane go fo days…it’s a yeasty sort of comment, but if we keep this up, YOU ARE TOAST! Actually, we really feel that you take the cake!
But it’s good to have a little slice of life introduced into a blog, no? Especially someone else’s, haha. I guess I feel I have flour power.
