Flipping Out

Posted by on May 24, 2021 | 20 comments

            Practicing my Kitty Flip Well, this morning mama just had to have us watch Simone Biles as she conquered the flip  that only men have done in the past.  What an athlete! And she has overcome so many obstacles in her private life. You can read about her here if you wish. We are simply astounded at her abilities, and...

Ruffling MY Feathers

Posted by on May 23, 2021 | 16 comments

              OH, NO, what will mama think of next? Well, mama was looking at funny videos to lift her morning spirits and she came up with this!  I have a feeling this may become birdensome for me… Okay, okay, yes, they are cute, they are smart, they are so, so good at charming the pants off of anyone crazy enough...

Party Time

Posted by on May 22, 2021 | 16 comments

              ARE YOU GUYS GOING TO FEED ME? Well, not exactly a party, but after SIXTEEN months of NO ONE in our domain, two very old friends came for a glass of vino, vaccinated, the friends, not the vino, and sat in the garden trying to figure out what life will be like after this long, long year of unknowns. It was...

              Well, I’ll explain tomorrow about today’s short post. Nothing serious, just…er…different. Thank you for your patience! You did WHAT, mama and papa?...

Pay Back

Posted by on May 19, 2021 | 22 comments

            Ooh…nice. Well, I happen to keep mama and papa’s feet or knees or whatever looks the most comfortable nice and cosy in these chilly nights.  And I feel that these snuggles are fair exchange for all the trouble I go to, right? Right!  Think I’ll just lean  into this one. It will make them feel...

Hearing Aid

Posted by on May 18, 2021 | 19 comments

            Well, mama thinks I might need assistance for my ears when she calls me.             “Loulou!”             “LOULOU!”             I thought I heard the cuckoo call my name… “LOULOU,...

Sage Ponderings

Posted by on May 17, 2021 | 15 comments

              Gardening just simply wears me out. Well, maybe not sage as in “wise” sage, but certainly sage as in flowers and bees.  The bees have sucked the sage flowers dry but their busy work may help to have that lovely flavor end up in honey on someone’s toast. Now it’s time to construct the tomato supports, mama...

Well, Bread!

Posted by on May 16, 2021 | 12 comments

                  MAMA, GUESS WHAT?  We almost goofed! Well, today is National French Bread Day in France and mama almost forgot to tell me, so there I am lazing around on the little chair next to her computer, lazing and gazing at the same time, and all of a sudden mama scares me to death by crying out,...

Funny Business

Posted by on May 15, 2021 | 18 comments

            Well, today is just for laughs. Mama says that laughter is a tonic and really good for the soul and  spirit.  Especially after this last year and a big drop in smiles.  Let’s hope my (read: mama’s!) blooper pics help to get you grinning.             Let’s start!...

Too Mulch, Too Soon

Posted by on May 14, 2021 | 16 comments

            Well, the usual corny pun, but what the heck. It’s a magnificent day for a roll in the hay…er…rolling, that is.             Getting started on my tan for summer.                   A good mulch stretch to keep in shape....

Bedtime Blues

Posted by on May 11, 2021 | 20 comments

                  NO, MAMA, I WILL NOT MOVE OFF OF THIS BED! Well, these anthros are the most confusing beings I know.  Mama and papa  thought they were having a new bed put together today and the old one taken away by the same company. NO  SHOW. Mind you, this has been going on for about three weeks or more....

Mamma Mia

Posted by on May 10, 2021 | 20 comments

                Well, happy maman’s, mama’s, mother’s, mamma’s, madre’s,母亲Mǔqīn’s DAY to all mothers. Mothers never really get their due, it seems, and if there were a list of what they do all day, oh, boy, it would take up volumes! Maybe there should be an Encyclopedia of Mothers’ Contributions to the World.  Think...

Blowing in the Wind

Posted by on May 9, 2021 | 23 comments

                  Well, you cannot believe the wind around here! It is blowing the blossoms off the trees and the flowers off their bushes and mama can hardly stand up in this wind.  I am  lying down just to be safe.                   Mama can hardly stand up when she...

Spring in Our Steps

Posted by on May 8, 2021 | 20 comments

                  My idea of a good start for this sunny day! I suppose that if we were Russian I could say “Spring in our Steppes”, haha. But mama says, “Loulou, it’s comin’ up roses.”               Well, that’s what mama said this morning, and I think it means things are...

‘Nana Nudges

Posted by on May 7, 2021 | 14 comments

                  Well, you know, with this semi-lockdown, it’s slim pickin’s (whatever that is) around here lately for subject matter except  the photos of me actually doing things, since I’m the only one around here really DOING things to change the world. Well, doing things, that is, for kitties in the world....

Cheers!!!

              Well, GREAT news that has upset (in a good way) the Italian soccer world.  Our fave team, the Roma, is getting a new coach who has won lots of cups, and other teams are getting high-end coaches for the next season, which means that all of these coaches will be vying for who can be the best! Boy, did we need...

Papa’s Cute-itude Album

Posted by on May 5, 2021 | 15 comments

                Well, at the risk of being narcisistic, self-centered, on my high horse (?), egomaniacal,  you name it, I am following MAMA’S orders to post these (not my idea) cutesy-pootsy pics of yours truly and then be DONE WITH IT. You see, in the evening, I get up on my couch and sack out while THEY have...

Missing Link?

Posted by on May 4, 2021 | 12 comments

            I think the blog with little white flowers was the May Day blog…hmmm….maybe gone but not forgotten! Well, I think mama forgot to post my blog a day ago or so, and then when she checked my WordPress All Posts, she saw that the dates on ALL OF THE POSTS were April 2!!!! Something is awry on WordPress, you...

M’aider – May Day

Posted by on May 3, 2021 | 22 comments

Well, I lost May Day, 2021, so here is last year’s.  Hey, what could I do?  I can’t find it!                   Well, it is the custom here in France on May Day to give little bouquets of lily-of-the-valley to the females although I think they should go to male and female, and kitties.  I guess this...

Abandoned

Posted by on May 2, 2021 | 26 comments

              Well, I am NOT abandoned, but I am looking abandoned, as in “the kitty slept with abandon”…now, wait a minute, is that a noun?  Or was there another kitty named “Abandoned” and they snoozed together? Or does it mean one is left to snooze? You can see today that I am limited in my cheeky original...
