In memoriam

Posted by on Feb 17, 2024 | 16 comments

Today we are mourning the death of this courageous and valiant man. Aleksei Navalny. Russia had a chance to be part of a sane world with this man at the helm, but alas…. And Putin has yet one more murder on his hands… Who will stop this monster? No Lunapic today, only a...

Susan B Anthony Day

  Hats off to the brave leader of the movement for women’s suffrage. Why she began her movement is in this article, but I have to say that mama and papa are a bit if-fy on the banishment of…say…a good...

Two nice stripes, warming my….er…nether parts. Well, those tech anthros FIXED our fiber connection in TWO days instead of who knows how many it would have taken! Thrilled with that, I am posting another sun stripe photo because I’m trying to figure out why those stripes keeps moving and changing the places that feel warm to me! See. they...

A Heart Day’s Night

Posted by on Feb 15, 2024 | 20 comments

Whew, Valentine’s and NO INTERNET wore us all out! Mama made pasta with smoked salmon and vodka (I didn’t get THAT, just the fishie) and bread pudding (I got some custard)…we’re worn out. Well, I’ll guess I will answer for all of us: 1. The 2020 pandemic taught me us patience, introspection, how to exercise indoors and how...

We Jumped, NO NET!

My Valentine rubs…and more to come! I go into a squinty-eyed nirvana when THEY rub me. Real pros, Well, you may interpret these two Sumerians as you wish, but we loved the title and the article, and today is mama’s and papa’s anniversaurus, named  from a great card they found once of two dinosaurs necking (the ones with the long necks...

Mantra Musing

Posted by on Feb 12, 2024 | 16 comments

Acting out my mantra… Well, the brother of a dear friend (both of whom are wise anthros) sent us this mantra yesterday and mama and papa have been using it from the get-go, whatever that means! JUST HERE. JUST NOW. JUST THIS. Easy to remember, that’s for sure and it does bring one back into the present and help BE in the present and leave, for...

Well, this morning I found a lovely place to snooze and that old Mr Sun made the bed and ME full of stripes! But my little body was very warm where those two stripes hit, haha. And we are adding the photo of the WONDERFUL fountain run by the sun that my Aunty Barbara and Uncle Dan sent for Valentine’s Is this cool or what? And there are different...

Spacey Saturday

Posted by on Feb 10, 2024 | 14 comments

Well, I think I am staring at something, but mama looked all over the place and found zilch to stare at! We are in our Blue Period today, but we are NOT blue, no sirree, whatever that means. We are just happy to stare into space as kitties do and THEY know what they see! It’s very...

Free Friday

Posted by on Feb 9, 2024 | 12 comments

Well, I’ve done all my chores so have free time for filling in. I put away correct portions of my wet and dry dinner, took a nice bath in a sun puddle, making sure it was reflected on my tummy, and conked out at the perfect time. Exhausting… 1. On Superbowl Sunday, I will __probably do what I do best and wait for someone out there to tell me...

For The Birds

Posted by on Feb 8, 2024 | 16 comments

Our lemon tree feeder with all the gang who come to lunch with us. I could care less. Those birdies always flap around too much but…we are THANKFUL for sweet ittle flappers and that they grace us with their presence. I actually checked out those bird balls one day when mama wasn’t looking…they smelled good but she caught me! Not sure the...

Tuesday Try-outs

Posted by on Feb 6, 2024 | 20 comments

Well, I’m posing for a selfie but hoping it’s sexy. How’s this Beyonce Big-eye Bold No-Blink? Non, I think I’m going with the half-shut-eye Lana Turner Langorous Leer….or… …hah! I think I nailed it…the Garbo Gaze. These photo shoots really wear me out. It’s hard being a...

For The Birds

Posted by on Feb 5, 2024 | 14 comments

    Our spark for today is this, which was sent to me by my Uncle Dan. You had better have proof and truth before you condemn your fellow anthro…or birdie. We feel that we, too often, make a snap judgement about something or someone without really seeing what is going on. And this poor little birdie suffered the follies of suspicious...

Self-rising

Posted by on Feb 4, 2024 | 20 comments

Well, I thought I was rising but I got stuck. Why would any snoozing kitty want to rise at all, much less self rise, haha. Maybe mama or papa will come along and help, but frankly, I’d rather just stay here having this lovely stretchy snooze. May your Sunday be a true Sun Day, wherever you are. ***** One of the ferals, of whom I have no photo, has...

Saturday Splash

I loved this Splash from Lunapic. Having a splashy Saturday, everyone! We are enjoying leftover “pancakes”(crepes) from yesterday when that BAAAD groundhog did not see his shadow! DARN. Hey, mama, put a little more Grand Marnier on that crepe, s’il vous plait…...

Forgetful Friday

Posted by on Feb 2, 2024 | 11 comments

Ooh lala we almost forgot to do our fill-ins! Alors, mama will do some and I’ll do some and it will be a puzzle to figure out which  is which: 1. Some people make their own __kitty foods__, but I prefer store bought (especially the one with my pic on it, but I can’t have it any longer…sigh…). 2. February is a good month to __hug...

Garden Gazing

Posted by on Feb 1, 2024 | 15 comments

Well, I’m thankful that I have a garden to gaze at and that it’s warm enought to go out in it and check up on the coriander and parsley (that’s all we have right now…winter greens). But as always, I am thankful for ferals being taken care of in so many places and for all of you who do that in your neighborhoods. I was going to put...

Local Lookies

Posted by on Jan 31, 2024 | 20 comments

Two of the several sweet ferals who are fed and loved by mama and others. I am pretty sure that one of them is my cousin! Can you guess which, haha? Our show-off cormorant, who is impressing his harem as he dries his lovely wings. Or maybe he’s giving out info about where the little fishies are…hmmm. Our local Loulou…haha, c’est...

Oh, Henry!

“Whether you think you can or you think you can’t, you’re right.” — Henry Ford Maybe this is like The Little Engine That Could, if anyone remembers that children’s book. But I loved this quote because the more you think about it, the more it makes sense. I think, haha. So I leave you today to ponder Henry’s wisdom. I wonder if he ever dreamed...
