Thankful that the vaccine visit to my doc is OVER! Well, papa’s ex who is very good friends with mama and papa, came back from visiting her daughter in Chile and was speaking Spanish to someone or other and said “grachias” for “gracias”, which is how it would sound in Italian, and as some words become part of one’s...

Sleep Yoga at its best. Well, this may sound a bit simplistic, but mama is moving around every day (under 30 minutes, by the way, no jumping, no transitions to the ground, a moderate cardio and toning session) with a wacky, wonderful woman on YouTube, Pahla B, and her programs are primarily for weight loss after a certain age, but mama is doing it for...

Well, I am just lying here with papa rubbing my tummy in my afternoon nap mode, which is something that happens every day like clockwork. Wait a minute! MAMA!

May I give all of you a BIG HUG? YOU sparked my Monday! Well, mama was looking for a good spark and came across Alfred’s (normally I call him “Al”) sweet saying that felt to me as though it applies to all of the lovely friends I have made in the blogging world. “If I had a flower for every time I thought of you (all)… I could...

I should have said Ear-Sats, haha since it’s Saturday. Okay, okay….it’s a stretch, but that’s what kitties do, haha.

Well, there they are, mama...

And…I am bathing again avec plaisir! Maybe meds are working. Well, this is not so much a spark as as suggestion to kitty-lovers everywhere about how to make us kitties take our meds.

Well, THAT was interesting! I dreamed that someone was trying to rub my tummy, which you know we kitties LOVE, but whatever it was had a strange thing in its paws that ejected cold gel, which was then spread over my nude tummy like cake icing! Argggh. Then IT ran a cold thingy over my tummy and took photos and I knew I was part of some terrible...
