Ha, ha, loved the one about silliness…just like mama!!!Well, mama went off the deep end again, but if this makes you smile or laugh in any form or manner, it has done its work.In honor of Yom Kippur, a high school friend send this to mama. Our friend is Jewish, and we respect all religions. Our friend just wanted us to keep our humor during these very trying times.

We know about truffle hounds and pigs. Are there truffle-seeking cats ?
Just got this today! Wish so much kitties could be trained. Can’t wait until you get to read about Mugawa, in a future blog. Coming soon.
We are Mewish and absolutely love this! Too funny. We said Dad needs to break out any long loaf but… Fitz gets Sourdough, Rumpy gets Grits, Toby gets Puff Pastry, Einstein gets Quick Bread and, after the input of everyone get Brownies due to how I am with Dad. *Sigh*
Well, all of our Mewish friends have wonderful humor and we have great times together as they love me…haha. We’ll have to pick our breads and let you know.
MOL! This is funny! Of course, us cats are sinless, so we’ll save our bread. 😉
Of course, how silly of me to think ANY kitty would need to pick a bread. But the Timmy Tomcats evidently just picked for the bun of it…er…fun of it.
That is so funny!!!!!! Tee Hee!!!!
Hugs, Teddy 🙂
We had a smile or two, too. Need those.
Mamma laughed all over again with these!! Of course she said I fell into the “stuffing” category!! But they have me on a diet – so I guess my nickname would be Sourdough. Loulou, do you fall into any of these categories?
Interesting that you mention sourdough. A friend wrote that being a counterfeiter would choose sourdough….
That is funny 🙂
And a counterfeiter would choose sourdough…a reader sent that one.
Those were really good and so was Mary’s comment!
We do have fun around our hearth. Merc!
Amazing ! You are a well-bread kitty LouLou ! No fair insinuating that your Mama is half-baked !
Oh,lordy, another one in my midst. At least we got a rise out of you, Mary. We don’t loaf around.
