ECHHHHHHHHH……harmless, but ECHHHHHHHH-y This is off my subject for today, but something is going on here. There are HUGE BLACK flies that have suddenly appeared out of nowhere and not only are they BIG, they are, fortunately, DUMB as posts and allow mama and papa to swat them easily (saying ohmmmmmm the whole time) and send them off to the...

Uh, oh…the zucchine plant got out of hand…. Well, mama has to watch that habit she has of putting ‘just a little bit’ of organic fertilizer in her watering can. Can you believe a FIVE-POUND zucchine? Well, you’re lookin’ at it. Maybe I should take a shot of that stuff…then I could throw my weight around a bit more,...

Oh, boy, mama showed me something just now that came from her friend, Anne, and it made my little kitty tears run!!! Take a look at this amazing street artist and his marionettes and see what I mean. His name is Ricky Syers and boy, if he did some kitty marionettes, he would be my friend forever. Isn’t it great what friends of mine send me. They...

Oh, mama is so sad that Game of Thrones is ending this season and she and papa and I watched the last episode tonight. But there is HOPE: the next instalments should be incredible and beautiful and so I’m just biding my time here on the couch until I can see Kaleesha again and the dragons and the beautiful little short man who is one of the stars. ...

I can’t really see the tube from this angle…I think I’ll move. Well, it’s a bit sad around here–Italy is out of the World Cup so I guess these anthros are rooting for the USA and France now. At least they have two choices, just in case… I love watching all of them, so I’m happy pretty much of the time, but it...

Papa sets a summer lunch table…for his harem. Well, now we really know that papa is a mensch. Mama and papa invited two friends for lunch and then papa said, “Why don’t you ask Lynn because we don’t know her well yet” and then she was asked and came and there was papa, with his harem of FOUR women, pouring wine and helping set...

Hey, Italy gave England a hard time…maybe it will happen again. Well, our poor Italy did not do so well in the match against Costa Rica, but I suffered through while mama and papa were counting up the off sides…ELEVEN!!! And most of those, I could see for myself, were when players were at the very END of Costa Rica’s defense line and could see...

LAST YEAR!!! THIS YEAR–GREEN WITH ENVY!!! Well, mama is watching her tomatos too much, I think. Not that I don’t watch them, too, because I want to be the first one to report “RED!” and I’m pretty sure it’s going to be some time before those little suckers decide to color up. Meanwhile, I study those weird garlic tips...

OH, NO I’m about to be late for the game!!! And Muslera is the Uruguayan goalkeeper. I LOVE him!!! World Cup, that is. If I weren’t such a soccer sucker, I’d be out chasing butterflies or merles or geckos or lizards, but alas, I have been bitten by the bug that glues me to the boob tube with mama and papa for practically every game in...

I’m gettin’ ready to do a rovesciata–bicycle kick; I just take my time… Well, I’ve been watching Chile pretty much run circles around Spain tonight in the World Cup, and I have to say, those guys have chutzpah (or cojones?), and determination. Actually I observed that both teams were pretty snappy on the uptakes, but Chile...

Loulou, that’s not a MOUSE–it’s a garlic gone to seed!!! And it’s not furry, duh. So all of our room are now protected with little black boxes in which there is some magic potion that will supposedly lure little critters who will then take the potion and go away to mouse heaven (somewhere in the house, I’ll bet you) but also...

That kitty better watch out or I’ll eat her COMPUTER CABLE!!! She’ll be one ticked off blogger… Oh, boy am I in deep doo-doo, excuse my French, haha. I don’t normally say that but this time, well, I’m in a bit of trouble. When mama and papa re-did this house, they found a beautiful extra space in the form of a little...

PS This is not mama’s hair but maybe some day….if she pets me enough. Mama was thinking yesterday as she combed out her just-washed hair that various friends have given her advice over the years that changed the way she did things. For example, when she combs out her very long hair, she remembers that a friend said to get the knots out of the...

Well, yesterday being Friday the 13th, I decided NOT TO MOVE AT ALL and so just changed positions every now and then and thought I’d put a few of my best on the blog today. I sleep a little differently from a lot of kitties, I think, but then again, maybe I don’t. Maybe we just all sleep wherever and however we possibly can, come hell or high...

Oh, boy, it’s 35 degrees here which is, translated, HOT AS HADES. And all I can do is lie in the shade (note: lie not LAY) and wish that someone would bring me some iced mango tea, which is what mama makes in the summer. It’s really good with lemon and sugar and mango flower essence and even I get a little bit on my tongue when I’m good....

Hah! You think this is just a lump of dough! Just wait… Well, here we go: I help mama dump the flour in the bowl of a food processor—one cup for each person so if you’re making pizza for two this is the recipe and it can be doubled easily. I only eat a bit of it so we don’t have to add much for me… In the bowl of a food processor put: 2...

I’m all tuckered out, whatever that means, from all this attention… Well, you’ll just have to wait one more day for the photos of how to make pizza, step by step, because mama was caught up in family and grand niece and nephew and sister-in-law-and-her-partner fun and friendly attacks from several donkeys and a mule and then eating pizza...

You know, I was watching mama cook tonight and she was making a risotto with those good-smelling mushrooms called porcini that you find in the fall and the spring if you happen to be out wandering around where they grow, but she had the dried ones in her pantry and I said, “Mama, why don’t you make that nice rice thing tonight since you and...

I just deleted who is cheating on whom in Hollywood and who WILL be cheating on whom in the future and now I’m outta here… I just found out, thanks to a very kind answer from AOL, that I can make my computer screen have any news from anywhere I wish if I just click on Options, and then Settings, and then put in any zip code on earth to get news...

Guacamole and mojitos, here we come! Well, I”ll tell you one thing. When guests are coming to our neck of the woods, that old supermarket near the place where they stick me once a year and look down my ears and other places (!) gets quite a workout. Fortunately, the cat food section is the FIRST stop on the FIRST aisle and I am in fat city (no pun...
