Absent Mind

Posted by on Jul 24, 2019 | 20 comments

              Hey, you don’t forget things in your sleep, haha. Well, now I know what that means!  Just like those professors who seem to forget whatever it is they forget. I was watching The Good Fight with mama and papa and I clean forgot to do my blog!  My little pea brain was so absorbed in all those things...

Okra Win Free

Posted by on Jul 23, 2019 | 18 comments

                  Oh, that is BAAAAD. I was only searching for a pun about okra, so forgive me! But you do win free with this recipe! Mama found some lovely fresh okra (whatever THAT is) at a Chinese food market and cut it into little bites, mixed it with 1 egg (beaten) and then tossed all of it with corn meal,...

Back To Back

Posted by on Jul 22, 2019 | 14 comments

                  See how much more comfortable papa would be with me, smiling and pressed up against his spine? Well, papa’s back trouble is sort of on the front burner right now, whatever that means. So debilitating for papa, but we are on our way to solutions, mine being that I will willingly sleep...

Cheap Cheep

Posted by on Jul 21, 2019 | 12 comments

            LOULOU, DO NOT LICK YOUR CHOPS OVER A POOR LITTLE CANARY! Well, mama’s friend, Aunty Lynne, from up the street (down the street?) is taking off today for the Canary Islands after having found a very good price on plane tickets.  But this is what I have to know: Are there canaries all over the place flapping...

Another Year…Another Cheer

Posted by on Jul 20, 2019 | 16 comments

                But she also woke up to RAIN!  Well, today is a special day for mama, and she woke up to a lovely hanky from papa from a place she loves in Rome and to this. Now that’s the way to start off a birthday!!! Can’t WAIT for this movie to come out, can you? It’s about time we kitties were...

Rollin’ Stones

Posted by on Jul 19, 2019 | 16 comments

              Lazy, hazy days of summer… Well, one can’t always be indoors snoozing on one’s chair, so I thought I would share with you one of my favorite garden sports in which I engage with great glee. We have these nicely-warmed-up-from-the-sun stepping stones on which I LOVE to wiggle! First I have a...

Getting Your Goat

Posted by on Jul 18, 2019 | 10 comments

              Well, a thoughtful friend/reader send this amazing article from The Guardian about goats and how they communicate so well with one another.  Would that anthros could do as well, no?  But I’m pretty good at timing my myows and snuffles and sighs and occasional howls so that mama and papa know exactly...

Happy Talk

Posted by on Jul 17, 2019 | 22 comments

            So I’m kickin’ for joy today! Well, mama’s sis in law, who is really like a real sister and who mama would rather call sis because sis in law is too long to write, sent her this marvelous photo with Happiness in the subject of her email.  I think it speaks for itself and boy, would mama and I love...

Bad Apples!

Posted by on Jul 16, 2019 | 12 comments

                MAMA, take my advice! We’ll, let’s just say “bruised” apple… The Apple store could not give mama the same model as they didn’t have it in stock and because mama bought hers in the USA and the French ones are a bit different.  The store near us here charges more than...

Good Apples

Posted by on Jul 15, 2019 | 20 comments

            I’m cooling my paws on the umbrella holder…soooo nice. Well, mama and papa have DESERTED me to go 1. To Montpellier for papa’s back doc, a consultation, and 2. The Apple store because mama put her IPad in her purse and then added a small bottle of limoncello for a friend (tight cork, or so she...

Home Stretch

Posted by on Jul 14, 2019 | 16 comments

                  Well, I’m boring you, I’m sure, with all this “IT’S HOT” stuff, but it’s HOT!  There’s not really much one can do, being a kitty in a fur coat, but take a nice long ahhhhh on the cool tiles of the terrace.  Plus it feels good. I am sure that in a few...

Nik Knacks

Posted by on Jul 13, 2019 | 10 comments

              Well, my auntie Barbara sent the most wonderful article to mama about doing NOTHING! And mama started counting up all the things we do in a day and the list was HUGE and so mama has decided to find at least 10 minutes a day to do absolutely zilch. Except rub me, of course....

Got Rhythm?

Posted by on Jul 12, 2019 | 16 comments

            Now just what was he doing with that leg? Well, today, feeling so much better, I just wanted to put in this video to make everyone out there giggle and feel GOOD!  You have probably seen older videos but this one explains the motions! I will confess that I am sort of in love with this birdie, something I never...

Speak-easy

Posted by on Jul 11, 2019 | 14 comments

                Well, today, I’m not posting any energetic pics or saying much of anything scintillating really.  Just lying here and grooving as one might on a hot summer morn, but I’ll be back en forme soon.  I think I still have just a tad of wiped out, whatever that is!  My ears are still tailwarm,...

Hanging Out

Posted by on Jul 10, 2019 | 14 comments

                  Bet you can’t find me easily, haha.  I’m incognito, whatever that means. Well, I feel so normal that I thought I might just lounge around today in this hot, hot weather and maybe gaze at the action next door. It’s hard to find me sometimes when I’m hanging out in my...

Appetite For Life

Posted by on Jul 9, 2019 | 16 comments

              Were you really worried, mama and papa?  Me, too… Well, I can say, without a doubt, that I am better.   Mama says that if I am eating the way I ate today, all is well. Thank you again, dear readers/friends for your concern.  Mama and papa were really, really worried about this bout of whatever it was...

Out of the Woods?

Posted by on Jul 8, 2019 | 13 comments

  Are these woods?  Hmm…don’t think so. First of all, what are these woods they talk about and what do they mean that I am not out of them yet?  Where are they anyway? We don’t have any woods near us, only sea and hills and low-growing wild thyme and such…the woods are pretty far away. Still, I’d like to be out of them, I...

Skinny Minnie

Posted by on Jul 7, 2019 | 20 comments

              Hey, just call me ‘Twiggy”… Well, one good thing that came out of this is that I am so, so skinny and svelte that I could probably model for Mr. Lagerfeld’s creations if he hadn’t already groomed his own kitty to do that part of their life! Still, being sick...

Head’s Up!

Posted by on Jul 6, 2019 | 11 comments

                        Well, at least that part of my body is. The rest of me is sort of feeling the waters…er…tentatively trying to follow my head. Speaking of waters, I need a drink. Last night my good friend down the street came over and did her magic, talked softly, and I perked...

Punk Rocker

Posted by on Jul 5, 2019 | 17 comments

            Well, I’m still feeling a little punk.  And not like rocking at all! And my ears are hot, mama says. She took my temperature (he understands who understands!) with papa’s help but mama wasn’t very good at it (if you get my drift).  Still, it was 40.5, not so great, and that was when the...
