NO, NO, mama, do NOT show me a calendar. Please! I can’t look! I have not done ANYTHING for Christmas and I mean that seriously, I have done ZILCH! No shopping. No wrapping. No ribboning, whatever that is. NO CALENDARS, please! (Mama keeps flashing that calendar at me…) Maybe this’ll work.   CATURDAY ART – A FRIEND’S KITTY...

It’s a clear fact: I love my little private-couch-which-I-have-taken-over-as-my-OWN. It is a world unto itself… Morning core exercises…I moved too fast for mama to focus. Typical. Full pike sleep position. Practicing for Snooze Olympics. You see now why this is my very own personal perch? Whose foot is that anyway? Whoever that is had...

  Hey, mama! You think you know what’s going on in our little busy little brains? Think again… Well, today is going to be a bit different.  Mya’s mama brought this article to our attention and we simply had to put it in today,..a LONG read, but oh, so fun to have anthros THINK they know something about us and our ancient kitty...

Well, actually, I am NOT home alone but it rhymed.  And I was “persuaded” to take previou trips with mama and papa because of my gullible nature. I am SOOOO glad NOT BEING OUT THERE ON THE COLD WINTER MEDITERRANEAN  SEA LOOKING OUT OF A PORTHOLE!!  Which did happen in the distant past, once or twice. No way, Jose. Gone are the days. THANK...

Uh, oh, did I remember the plums? Well, probably no one will make these, but mama makes them every year and soaks each one in a bit of brandy and gives them away to friends during the holidays. A sort of old-timey English touch. It’s not the Dickens to make one. You’ll see… And they keep in the freezer for another year. YAY. Mama makes...

  Well, you know, they may not be from F.A.O. Schwartz, but they’re mine. Sometimes you just have to take a break from toyland…maybe skip our house, Santa… By the way, I tried to respond to My Kentucky Cats and cannot. There seems to be no site, even though we get a gmail notice. Strange....

Well, I wanted to tell you about mama’s mama.  She died, as you know, during holidays, and mama grieved for almost a year. Papa was getting a little worried as mama worked through this sad event, but there is a happy ending. One night mama had a dream. There was a (red-old-timey) phone booth, remember them? And the phone was ringing and mama went to...

With apologies to Mr. Bergman, I wish to share with you my feelings toward this cold and clammy winter!     Hey, this may be a stretch, but who wouldn’t do a raspberry in a TRAVEL BOX (don’t worry, we’re staying put). And both Ingmar and I certainly have the right to our artistic license with respect to berries! And of course,...

HAIL, SANTA!  Got any mail from France lately? Well, we are trying to find the name of the film…ah, ha found it: 1. My favorite holiday film is _It’s A Wonderful Life with Jimmy Stewart, but not everyone’s cup of tea… 2. My favorite Christmas song is  Oh, Come, Oh, Come Emmanuel and mama loves it, too for its minor chords. But Good...

Well, we just wanted to decorate our blog today with two Ann Adamus images, so perfect for this hoiday season. What an artist! So that’s sort of it for today.  Thank you, Ann, for providing holiday posters for us all to use.  They definitely lift our spirits!...

You know, on these cold, cold, grey, heading toward-shortest-day-in-the-year day, I just want to curl up the way I must have been before I was born! Very tempting…. maybe I can get even smaller… HAH. Success....

  Well, I was having this staring competition with mama, when out of the blue, mama started singing softly to me in a lyrical voice, whatever that is. (You, too, can sing along to Braham’s sweet tune…): “Lullaby, and good night, time for kitties to slumber, and I just want to say, you can rest on my duvet! Close your eyes, dream a little, and I’ll...

Well, today, we only wish to share this with you during Hanukkah. It speaks of long-lost friends and happy endings… Like a tummy rub but much...

Well, Hanukkah goes hand in hand with other holidays and it’s nice that so many can share this time of year together and try to bring things to a joyful, we hope, beginning of 2022.    We love the mennorah, so graceful and bright. Safe and loving holidays to all.               😻😻😻 I am practicing my “ho, ho,...

Bird bonked…but it sure was good! 1. I find it easy to choose a gift for _anyone, it’s such fun! 2. I find it difficult to choose a gift for _okay, okay, papa, he never wants or needs anything except snuggling so I guess I can wrap that up!_ 3. Now that I’ve _lost a few grams_, I can _chow down on whatever strange bird leftovers are in...

https://fr.depositphotos.com/14184293/stock-photo-guinea-fowl-birds-numiba.html     Playing casually to get attention…for some bird later… I think there is another name for pintade, guinea hen, and this baby was range-free, as are many birds in France. They scratch and dig and are fed organic corn so mama feels (sort of) better about their...

                    Oh, boy, it is MISERABLE out there!                   Nothing much to do on rainy days… Maybe I’ll sit here and think up something wild and crazy to lift my spirits!                   Change of...

                  Rub a dub dub… Well, there is nothing like a forehead rub. NOTHING. I just want it to go on and on and on…. Papa gave mama one, too, and she said the same thing!  Maybe we’ll BOTH have to give papa one, to be considerate.                ...
