Spring Forward

Posted by on Feb 12, 2019 | 4 comments

                  I’m about to spring…are you watching? Well, okay, okay, we KNOW that refers to the time change, but what happens to me is that with a hint of early Spring, I feel as if I can leap forward myself, off the lounging mats, rugs, couches, and beds and SPRING myself forward from the...

Sleepy Time Gal

Posted by on Feb 11, 2019 | 8 comments

              Well, I think this applies to me, for sure.  In this kind of weather–with cold winds blowing and then sun pouring down suddenly in the middle of the day, really warm sun, warm enough for me to roll in the mulch and get it all over my fur coat so I can bring it into the house and roll on mama’s...

Good Marketing

Posted by on Feb 10, 2019 | 9 comments

                  NO, NOT to buy a fat pig, haha… Well, I just had to snap a pic of mama’s new shopping cart, which she finally found after searching a gazillion websites.  It was not easy because she wanted a small six-wheeler!  And pretty besides, which this is.  It is also plastic oil cloth, like...

Dressed to Tickle

Posted by on Feb 9, 2019 | 10 comments

            Hey, maybe next time, dress up like a doggy and enter the parade, haha! Well, Mya’s mama from New Orleans just sent this to us, and I don’t know of anything similar around here, but it certainly looks like fun!  Maybe we should start a festival and parade like that here. A doggy parade with its family...

Babel-ing

Posted by on Feb 8, 2019 | 19 comments

                  You went to WHAT? Well, mama and papa just started going to a Franglais class this afternoon.  Some who speak French and some who speak English and both wish to get better in the other language, and from their report, it was a BALL. But one of the questions the leader of the class asked each...

Return of the Jet-ers

Posted by on Feb 7, 2019 | 10 comments

            (I’m driven to drink when they leave me like this.) Not sure that title works but well, mama and papa came back this afternoon from roaming around and sidled up to where I was snoozing (sort of) and starting rubbing on me and snuggling and saying “Loulou” over and over again and I knew then that I...

Welcome Mat

Posted by on Feb 6, 2019 | 10 comments

                        Oh, privacy and solitude!  Where have you gone? I think you’re supposed to put one of those things out when a visitor comes, or when, for example, the PRODIGAL PARENTS return to their favorite kitty!  But we don’t seem to have one around here.  Hmm…maybe...

One More Day…

Posted by on Feb 5, 2019 | 7 comments

                      I don’t feel any knees here…sigh… Well, here I am with my kitty whisperer and guess what, mama and papa—WE ARE HAVING FUN!  Without you two to keep me on my diet and try to snuggle me a dozen times a day when I’m having my beauty sleep and frankly,...

Oh, The Road Again

Posted by on Feb 4, 2019 | 8 comments

              WAIT A MINUTE! You two are going WHERE? You know, when THEY decide to leave me for eons, well, three nights this time, I really do not know if I’m happy to have some private time with my kitty whisperer, or whether I would sort of like to be WITH them (car travel notwithstanding, whatever that means)...

Windy Kitty

Posted by on Feb 3, 2019 | 15 comments

                  Is that really the WIND I hear…scary! Well, mama is not letting me out right now, because the winds are 140 kph, which in mph is 86.9!!! BEAUCOUP.  She says I would fly away! At the open market this morning, there was only a handful of vendors, and most the shoppers were being blown off...

Crêpe Souls

Posted by on Feb 2, 2019 | 19 comments

                Mama, could I please have a crêpe with that caramel you made yesterday?  Or maybe just brown sugar and Grand Marnier… Hey, mama made up that title today…get it?  Soles, crêpe?  Oh, well. Today in France everyone eats crêpes, but the religious holiday is called La Chandeleur. It is the day...

Swine Fever

Posted by on Feb 1, 2019 | 7 comments

            Circe had better not mess with ME!  Two can play this game… I suppose I could have called this blog “This Little Piggy”, haha. Well, mama is reading a book that she can barely leave to snuggle me or fix dinner for her and papa. It is by Madeline Miller, the title is Circe, and you had better not...

Weighty Subjects

Posted by on Jan 31, 2019 | 12 comments

              Well, I’m finally getting the hang of this exercise stuff. You grab whatever thingy you’re using and you sink your teeth into it and pull and pull and this stretches the muscles in your neck and jaw and causes enigmatic (whatever that is) expressions that make mama laugh. Laughing is good. Then,...

Back To The Drawing Board

Posted by on Jan 30, 2019 | 14 comments

                  It’s clear how I feel about exertion, no? Well, mama wants me to exercise more, and she’s also having trouble sending her sketches to this blog.  It’s very CLEAR, if you ask me, that she needs a tutorial.  So she’s doing some sketches on the IPad with her pencil and...

Bushed

Posted by on Jan 29, 2019 | 4 comments

            This one feels pretty good — think I’ll stay here. Well, after having helped mama with finding that video plus helping her cook for that lunch the other day, PLUS trying to get into a comfortable position to REST from all of this, I am BUSHED, whatever that means. For some reason, mama always sneaks up...

Rub A Dub Dub

                        A little higher, please! Ahhh…             Oh, boy, Mya’s mama, the portrait artist, sent an adorable video of sweet animals giving each other rubs and cuddles (including anthros!) and I really wanted you all to see it, but now we...

Tempty Baits

Posted by on Jan 27, 2019 | 17 comments

                  Do I smell brown sugar…? Whatever that is. Well, that’s a phrase that papa’s mama (my grandmere) originated, which we have adopted into our house language, and if ever there were tempty baits in this house, it is TODAY. Mama made a tarte tatin, all caramelized around the edges...

Payback

Posted by on Jan 26, 2019 | 12 comments

            HEY! I’ve been thinking about this debacle with our shutdown, and I strongly feel that the government workers should get DOUBLE pay for the time they were not paid and had to wait for the idiots who pay them to come to their senses! That would be justice. And Nancy Pelosi could sell ice cubes in Antartica, in...

Opposites Attract

Posted by on Jan 25, 2019 | 12 comments

              Hard to argue or be radical from a warm duvet… Well, do they really attract?  Opposites?  Are we talking here about irresistible forces and unmovable objects, or what?  You see, mama has a good friend in the faraway land of Alabama and they have much in common and yet they do not see eye to eye on many...

Svelte Pelt

Posted by on Jan 24, 2019 | 8 comments

            Do I look like a Fat Cat to you? Well, the pelt is svelte, but the rest isn’t best, according to my very kind but truthful veterinarian, Dr Benhamdine, in Argeles (our neighboring village). 6kg 7grams!!! OMG! THIRTEEN point TWO POUNDS! And papa thought my new traveling apartment simply weighed more when he...
