Thinking of new words to make poetry out of a llama… Actually, Caesar is Argentine, although many llamas come from Tibet. And he has a fan club and followers and shows up at protests to calm the crowd. Is this wonderful or what? Mama remembers a poem by Ogden Nash that her mama used to tell the kids for a laugh: In far Tibet there lived a llama, he...
Read MoreRocky Mountain High
Well, not the actual Rockies, but a charming mountain made of rock in mama’s office, with my favorite sitting cloth on top, and climbing it (in the past) was not only for the view from its height but gave me a little buzz, too! And in those days, I could scamper down like a…well…scampering kitty,...
Read MoreDream On…
Well, lately, all I seem to be able to do in this intense heat and muggy air is curl up with or out on or around somewhere and just conk out! Snuggled in my aptly-named comforter… Passed out on my favorite...
Read MoreTarted Up
🍅🍅🍅 Well, we’re cooking easy things around here this summer, and one of mama’s favorites is SOOOO easy, we thought you might like to try it. Especially with all the nice tomatoes around. Interesting, papa says, that a wild and wanton chick used to be called a tart or a hot tomato! Never thought of...
Read MoreGo To The Poles
I’m thinking I could get a job catching squirrels. That is a squirrel, isn’t it? Well, okay, any ideas? So, here’s the news. Mama and papa have rudely asked me to contribute to the household maintenance in these difficult times…are they KIDDING? ...
Read MoreLaugh-In
Well, today, I thought I’d wear a hibiscus flower behind my ear as they do in Hawaii – I think it means something behind the right or left ear, but I forget which is which. Not which ear is which, which meaning goes with where! And, we have a little turn in the road today, as my...
Read MoreThe Medium is the Massage
Maybe I’m not quite as svelte as I think I am… Well, mama really needs my magic touch, I can just tell. She did go to the therapist, who was very gentle and, mama said, worked most of the time with his eyes closed, so she felt that he was feeling through his hands the places that needed...
Read MoreShoulder To Shoulder
Bring on that string, mama! Well, tomorrow we’ll find out just what’s happening in mama’s right shoulder blade and environs, haha. Because it feels to mama that just to the left of the ‘blade there’s some action… But enough of this, let’s get onto real news: I have...
Read MoreBack Soon
I I’m coming soon, mama. Hang in there! Well, friends, mama’s back is not great so for tonight, I’m cutting this short. I’ll be…er…back…tomorrow in better shape because right now I have snuggle up to mama’s back and keep it warm until she can get a physical therapist to tell...
Read MoreDouble Double Soil and Trouble
Maybe this was once a well? Oh, okay, okay, toil, but who toils around here except mama and papa. Toiling was never in my contract, although trouble was definitely part of the agreement, haha. So why don’t mama and papa make this little circle into a kitty pen, like a play pen for...
Read MoreDown and Dirty
Tranquil on the terreau (dirt) Well, it’s so quiet and still today that I simply wish to rest near my hibiscus and meditate on summer life. Do you see me lurking on my dirt circle? And mama keeps asking, “Loulou, why do you want to hang out on DIRT when you have such nice mulch to sit on and scratch around...
Read MoreMelon-choly
Haha, bet you thought this was about a dog! Well, actually, I’m only a little sad about the incredible melons mama has put right under my nose. I actually licked a little bit and wow! But mama says that they are not really kitty food. The Cavaillon melons come from up the road in Provence and really...
Read MoreDesert Song
Too hot to trot! Well, our winds are blowin’ again and much to mama’s dismay, they are blowing tomatoes right off their vines! I’d never heard of that but today it is 93F and the hot winds of Spain are whishing through our garden with full intent to lay waste the new tomatoes. BUT…the ones who resist and will not be moved by...
Read MoreGrin And Bear It
Well, I am smiling at this incredible story that Mya’s mama sent to me, about a Russian couple who adopted a baby bear, abandoned in the woods. There are several videos of this sweet bear on YouTube, and here is one. There are those who think he is really just a trained bear, but of course he is...
Read MoreA Note For Caren
🌸🌺🌼 With sad hearts, we send Caren from Cat Chat sorrowful hugs for the loss of Cody, so beloved to all of us. And this so soon after the loss of Dakota. How terrible it is when our furry family members depart, as we frail humans are really not prepared for the great losses of our dear friends. And we miss so deeply the joy to our lives that they have...
Read MoreSomething Fishy
Contemplating my new sea creature… Well, on a scale, haha, of 1 to 10, whatever that means, I think my new fish toy is an 11 or 12! Mama got this creature in the mail (finally), plugged it in and then waited. Nada, zilch, it sat there staring at me with its fishy eye. Then PAPA...
Read MoreShaping Up
Hey, I can do that! Well, I had thought to teach one of these classes but these guys beat me to it and they are doing a lot better than I — not sure I have the patience to Sun Salute with a large group of kitties. Especially when doing the Downward Facing Dog,...
Read MoreHeat Strokes
Well, you see, when I am all stretched out like this on a cool terrace on this very hot day we are having, mama and papa cannot keep their hands off of me and caress and stroke my newly brushed pelt and I cannot, for the life of me, figure out how to say, “Hey, you guys, I’m snoozing here in this heat wave and could we shelve these silky...
Read MoreRunt of the Litter
HURRAH! Well, mama finally planted the LAST Gladiator seedling that appeared, along with the others, not to grow at all after three months in its seedling pot. But today he was put in place with his siblings, who have – get this – tripled in size and have tomatoes on their vines! ...
Read MoreComment allez VOUS?
MY EARS ARE LISTENING… Well, I do have to practice my French sometimes, and this morning I woke up asking myself how all of you are faring out there wherever you are? And myself couldn’t answer because myself is not psychic, haha, so if you have any little tidbits of how you are coping...
