  Well, that word (fix) is not a favorite around here but once the event is over, our feral kitties will be very happy indeed. As was I. The mairie has sent out a notice that our village ferals will be sterilized and put back, when they have recovered, into their outdoor places in our little village. Some have a little house and food is always left...

Just saying hello and tinkering around actually with an appropriate name for our Tuesday blog, haha. Maybe I should name my Tuesday thoughts Tuesday Triumphs and only write about the amazing ability of kitties to be part of history. Such as in this story of Persian cat warriors… Well, I’m not at all sure that those kitties were actually 100%...

(Hmm…planning a nap takes considerable thought…) Well, papa’s mama taught him that when you butter the edges and corners of a piece of toast, the middle will take care of itself, and around here, we love thinking about that as it applies to many other parts of life, too. Maybe taking care of the essentials, the most diffiucult part of a...

I’m waving sleepily at mama after having just be AWAKENED by an iPhone-camera-crazed-weasel who insisted on snapping pics during my beauty sleep! Enough said. I think mama wanted to Lunapic me with a Fairy effect. And today she’s even doing one of herself so I’m calling it LOONEY PIC! I think this is called Illusion, which seems...

Uh, hint, hint.  Does anyone KNOW what this is? It’s black and white and rubbed all over… I am so thankful for my underbelly, tummy, paunch, belly, breadbasket, bingy. Wait a minute, BINGY? BINGY? Wow, those Aussies know how to make language FUN, non? We are thankful today for stomachs that are filled, as so many are not during the terrible...

…OUT! This homecoming has worn me out. Is there such a thing as too many head or tummy rubs? Silly question… 😻😻😻 Merci for all of your welcome home comments...

  Well, today’s spark has to do with trust. Benjamin Spock said that you must trust yourself because you know more than you think you do. And I realliy like that because my trust in mama and papa was weakening a bit when they had to stay away longer, but I knew deep inside that they would be back and would never leave me, not for ANYTHING, and I...

Well, I am feeling a little bit more centered on myself today, after having gone through THEIR tales of travel trauma with mama and papa. They are now here again with ME, and that is all that matters…me. So today I did ME, in...

Well, FINALLY, papa is getting back into the swing of things, or rather the snuggle of things, or maybe the chinny chin chin caress of things. Whatever…I just wish he’d move a tad toward the top of my head, which makes me ecstatic! I’ll give it time… So first Saturday back—maybe a loving-cheek-rub Lunapic is in the works:...

What’s wacky is that mama took a pic of my derriere without thinking!!! And where are THEY anyway? And why aren’t THEY snuggling me ALL DAY LONG? What is this, a snuggle break? 1. I never know __exactly when THEY will come back from abandoning me (but they always do)!!!!. 2. I know I should __be falling all over mama and papa now that they are...

And I am doing a jiggity jig!!! Actually just feeling very thankful for THEIR return, safe and sound.  Well, safe anyway… Actually I am being elevated by PAPA — yes, it WAS my papa, I confirmed that by many snuggles from him and they were definitely his snuggles, no question. (Little does papa realize that I have been going up and down stairs...

Well, THEY are back. Aren’t they? Oui, they just waltzed in and started calling “LOULOU, LOULOU” but I have to make sure! I think that’s who THEY are….look familiar to me. I’ll check out identities by standing at the bottom of the stair and seeing who comes to elevate me, heh heh. Then I’ll stare at the other one and see if guilt creeps into her demeanor,...

The truth is, I WAS standing up! Well, I might have used this title before but what is a kitty to do when suddenly, she/he/it/they TUPP RIGHT OVER? And then I wasn’t! I just tipped. Just like THAT! Who knows how these things happen. And mostly on...
