Well, mama’s been cooking black-eyed peas and pancetta (bacon to southerners) and she’s planning chili-laced corn bread with real corn kernels in it and the guacamole was made in Rome and frozen (works like a charm—I licked her fingers when it was ready) and there will be Wild Turkey milk punch with nutmeg on top and for me, of course, a WHOLE...

You know how it is when the computer goes ga-ga! So, so boring… Alas, for three days we have had no internet…hence no Loulou…and upon our return to France, NO HEATING!!!! Oh, boy, am I glad I have a fur coat. Mama is walking around in three sweaters, earmuffs and a scarf (very sexy, she says, haha) and papa in two shirts, a sweater and...

  Well, that’s over. Thank heaven they left me some food last night because they stayed out from 6:30 to midnight! Holy tamale, I thought Xmas was shorter than that. They did, too, and vowed that next year, it will go a bit faster. Everyone was exhausted, too many presents for the little ones–mama’s fault, too, because she has vowed...

An Apple a Day

Well, well, well, do you know that some cat foods have apple in them? And did you know that an apple a day really does help keep the doc away?  Well, I’ve been eating apples in my food for a long time and I love apple yogurt, and now the health experts say that apples are a very effective antioxidant and can help keep your heart healthy. Funny how...

Calling all kitties (and kids) out there: Get off that sofa with yogurt on your whiskers! Pull in those claws when the grandkids visit! No rubbing seductively on ankles right after eating because you want more kibble! Eat your food and be grateful; don’t turn up your nose at tuna! Get your paws off that computer–your blog is already written for...

India’s music is getting sadder… Mama was reading to me this morning about the incredible inequality that exists in India, a country that has an enormously wealthy middle class and yet still has a government that continues to do nothing for the poverty-stricken (about as many as the entire population of the United States!) who still defecate in...

This piano is not doing a thing!!! You know, mama keeps getting these emails from people, like the one her brother sent that made her so happy and then she sends them on to her friends, and I thought, well, I’ll just send the ones I get to my friends out there, too!  So I hope that these two, in particular, bring some holiday cheer to your house and...

Well, mama and papa took the photo above yesterday, well yesternight, out on the Corso here in Roma.  The lights are so beautiful that even I felt the spirit and I’m not one for all these holidays with so many presents and all the commercial hype and selling things that no one needs—such as all the stuff in doggy/kitty stores that everyone thinks we...

Is this a cute doggy or what? You know, when you get a new puppy or kitty, the whole world seems to change for you and the sun is brighter and the mornings fresher and even the training to go pee-pee in the right place is a joy! I have a new friend, Mya—pronouned ‘mee-ya’—and although we have not met, I am really happy for her because she found...

Just imagine…  Do we really know how lucky we are, we female kitties of the modern world? I mean really lucky, more fortunate than one can even imagine in that we do not have to live in Afganistan! God knows what they do to female kitties, when right now they are trying to reinstate the procedure of stoning women to death who have committed adultery...

I’m so sorry, folks.  My computer just wouldn’t work for me today and my little paws are tap, tap, tapping away just trying to get something across out of my little December 14th brain, but it seems to be a bit blank in there. Maybe it’s the weather and maybe it’s because mama and papa abandoned me to go see some swimming races in...

Yanukovych is at it again.  That guy should have a kitty and maybe he’d learn to discipline his bad behavior—working both Russia and the EU in hopes of getting money from both and now he’s ending up with nothing from anyone, so far.  I just don’t get these anthros. Papa writes letters in his head all the time that lay out exactly what...

    Dear kitty friends—help is needed.  Although I have perfect comportment on ships and in the car and have only slipped up once (and that was an unplanned storm, act of God, if you will, that no kitty on earth could go through without vomiting on someone’s chest), I do have trepidations about travel on a ship that could move about suddenly,...

If I play The String Game, I get fed! (I’m not goin’ to a gym, that’s for sure…) I just realized that mamma and I play hunger games every morning and evening! Wow. If only I could show up in some of those costumes they wear… Mama has mentioned before how she really feels good in her body and soul when she drops a prejudice or a...

    Oh, I am so, so sad about Mr. Mandela, one of the great men of our century, mama says. And to be able to live to 96 after having such a terrible life in prison for so many years.  But the Huffington post has a video of him dancing. It would not link to my blog so you may see it at www.HuffingtonPost.com. This short blog is only to say goodbye to a...

Well, this is something. Mama and papa went to an exhibit here in Rome centered around Cleopatra, and they mentioned that there was a large, beautifully preserved kitty that had been mummified in order to pass into eternity easily.  The kitty is believed to be a favorite pet of one of the rulers of that time but it is uncertain just who adored this kitty....

  I just saw in my favorite newspaper and online that anthros are taking their ill animals to hospices to ease the pain of eventually having to use euthanasia for their beloved kitties, doggies, or whatever animal has become part of the family. Of course there is money involved, and every anthro in the world knows that vets are not cheap, even in...
