Scarface

Posted by on Jan 20, 2020 | 15 comments

                  Mama, come home! Well, mama hasn’t completely forgotten about me, as evidenced in this neck thing she found that CLEARLY shows her complete and thorough involvement in and dedication to the kitty world. Can you find me on this scarf?                ...

Gummy Goo

Posted by on Jan 19, 2020 | 8 comments

                  Uh, oh, mama just found out about the strange yellow substance that crept out of its glass container in our fridge and started moving toward everything in its way and our sweet kitty sitter had the presence to take a photo and ask mama on a WhatsApp what to do! I suppose I could have helped...

Amplesand

                    Well, there must be one heck of a kitty-loving delivery guy who goes out onto the beach and makes those really lovely piles of sand that are PERFECT for what kitties need them for.  He understands who understands, as the Italians say… Is this a GREAT liter box or WHAT?  ...

Something Fishy…

Posted by on Jan 17, 2020 | 8 comments

            Well, I thought I had a problem… …with mama taking pics and oohing and ahhing over other doggies, such as this well-known cutie pie that mama and papa are not only visiting but (in mama’s case) giving TREATS to! Mama foolishly put an extra one in her pants pocket and Mya jumped up on mama’s...

Rub A Dub Dub II

                  You know, some anthro kids supposedly hate bath time, but if they would follow these quick and simple rules, they could shorten their baths by beaucoup minutes and take the stress out of their little wet worlds. 1.                   Start with the...

Alone, At Last

Posted by on Jan 15, 2020 | 10 comments

            Well, here we are, my Kitty Whisperer and I, grooving together in our private way, with NO interruptions from THEM for a few days. When I heard that zipper on mama’s suitcase close, I made a beeline, whatever that is, for my private hideaway under the bed and there was NO way they could get me out to travel...

Puddling Around…

Posted by on Jan 14, 2020 | 10 comments

                Just have to find the right spot. Well, mama putters, but I puddle, haha. Mama is always squirting WD40 in places that talk or digging in the garden to plant strange things or tying up the broad beans so they don’t blow down in a tramontane or clanking around in the kitchen making  peasant under...

Yakity Yak, Don’t Talk Back

Posted by on Jan 13, 2020 | 14 comments

            I am not looking at my portrait–I am getting ready to MEOW loudly before ascending the stairs! Well, here’s the thing. Every morning after I have breakfast and a little pe…er…walk in the garden, I come back in and mama and papa are having their p’tit déj and every  single morning I go to the...

Tripping Out

Posted by on Jan 12, 2020 | 18 comments

            Loulou, we’re only going for a few days. Don’t be sad. Well, off they go again but only for a few days and it’s for  a doc they like who check their pelts each year, or whatever that stuff  is that holds them together. I, here with my indulgent Kitty Whisperer, will loll about with attention and...

Hair Today, Gone Tomorrow

Posted by on Jan 11, 2020 | 12 comments

              Oh, Mya, I feel for  you.  It’s so sad… BEFORE:             The epitome (whatever that is) of a contented doggy with favorite toy. And THEN…the dreaded coiffeuse!               Nekked as a jaybird, as they say in the South....

Reflex-ions

Posted by on Jan 10, 2020 | 12 comments

  Hey, this grandanthro caught me once, too, when mama wasn’t around. Well, I’m hearing mama saying more and more often that she’s not as nimble-fingered as she used to  be, as in “Oops! I just barely got through making that focaccia without dumping it on the  floor.” But then again, her reflexes seem to have stayed in...

Good Jeans

Posted by on Jan 9, 2020 | 12 comments

            (Can’t be jeanetic–mama never wears them!) Well, I know this sounds a bit odd, but I am, for some strange reason (Love? Secret wish to be Calvin Klein? Weaver? Cowgirl?) in love with jeans.  Specifically, papa’s jeans, which I often find stretched out on the bed to be “ironed” back...

Hees And Haws

Posted by on Jan 8, 2020 | 16 comments

              (A beautiful winter sky, just to gaze upon) Oh, boy, mama has  spent way too much time over there in that lot with those DONKEYS, who have returned for the winter to make loud noises that sound like…well…donkey noises, ALL DAY LONG!  Mama adores the donks (not hers, maybe that’s why) and...

Grabbing Winks

Posted by on Jan 7, 2020 | 11 comments

              Mama grabs winks with ME! Well, one does not exactly GRAB winks.  Winks sort of sneak  up on one while one is pondering whether to wink or not to wink. Pondering.                   Still pondering.                  ...

Soupçon

Posted by on Jan 6, 2020 | 13 comments

            Mama, I smell something cookin’… Well, I really meant to say, “Soup’s on”,  but it was so funny in French I just went for it, and quite frankly, I have my suspicions sometimes about what mama is thinking when she starts a broth!  Remember Macbeth and the witches?  Whatever that...

The Art of Snuggling

Posted by on Jan 5, 2020 | 16 comments

                  Uh, oh, Maryline snatched me from mama and is about to do her snuggle treat-ment! AHAH, but I just noticed that some of that salmon mama put on  crackers was lurking on my little dinner plate – quantity,  questionable… And to get this meager thank you, mama, after allowing your good...

Down Under

Posted by on Jan 4, 2020 | 17 comments

Today we can only send hope that Australia’s fires will subside and that the inhabitants will find safe havens in which to wait until the devastating fires are under control. We have seen terrible videos of what is happening and there appears to be no end in sight as the rains do not begin for some time.  But perhaps this time they will come early...

Pawty Time

Posted by on Jan 3, 2020 | 18 comments

                  Now, Loulou, you can come to the party, but NO jumping on the salmon appetizers, okay?              Seriously, folks, is this the muzzle of a kitty who would DO such a thing? Well, it’s maybe not exactly a bash just for me but I intend to be the center of attention at...

BRRRRS….VILLE

Posted by on Jan 2, 2020 | 14 comments

            Papa, I’m chilly, but you sure do have nice warm hands. We are freezing  here! I am cold, you are (would be) cold, he, she and it are cold, we are (still) cold, you (all) are cold, and THEY are cold. That about covers the cold conjugation… Which is not a bad idea.  Cover up!! HEY, mama, could you please...

Beginnings…

Posted by on Jan 1, 2020 | 18 comments

              Do YOU ever think your mama is a kitty? Mama just loves the start-off of a new year (if not the end-off, haha).  But we are saddened by the news of kitties who are no longer with us, as we saw in Ann Adamus’ blog.  Hugs to all the families. Tonight, very moved and thinking about all of this, I was...
