Well, that is what they say, mai in una vita, about this spectacular city—Never in a lifetime, meaning that you will never see all of Rome even if you spend a lifetime exploring the city. So many things to see just standing in one place. Or in my case, lying. From my perch on the back of the sofa I look out over a lovely piazza where the Doria Pamphilj...

Okay, not a lot of people are interested in the problems of FIFA, Fédération Internationale de Football Association, but if you follow soccer, as this kitty does with great pleasure, you would be horrified to learn that the head of this organization, Sepp Blatter, is a number one, primo, top of the line CROOK. All I wish to say today is that of...

Of course I’m under the bed. Where would YOU be after such a trauma? Okay, we’re here.  Finally. I’m certainly here, under the bed. Where else after a rocky crossing, one regurgitation, and infinite patience with what seemed like thousands of anthros all going on vacation with tiny anthros, all of whom wanted to peer into my...

Well, I think I’ve mastered 5th position, but I’m not quite sure what this last one is called.  I may be called upon to perform in Kitty Lake, or maybe next Christmas in The Catcracker, but right now, I am only in practice sessions.  Did you want to do ballet when you were growing up?  Mama did, and she had a few lessons along with all the...

I wonder, do you have the game of Telephone in your family? Here, I hear mama on the phone or after she has read her email and there’s a certain piece of information about a kid or a kid’s kid or someone mama knows and she tells papa about it and then she gets a call from the person it was about and the person says who told you...

Well, everyone in this house is jumping for joy since the Roma won over Lazio in the Olympic Stadium in what is called the Derby—thus ensuring their chance to be in Champion’s League (hey, do I know what that is? well, YES, I mean I watch soccer all the time, too, don’t you remember?) And I love my Roma team, even if they have done some strange...

Quel horreur! Well, I know I scared the bejesus out of mama this morning when (both of them sleeping like angels, haha) I suddenly leapt straight up in the air from mama’s nice warm between-the-knees-place where I sleep and jumped about 15 feet out of the bed an onto the rug and just sat there staring at those I had awakened! What on earth was I...

A wall of night-blooming jasmine…mmmmmm; good smells. Sweet Love, bloomin’ away. More good smells. Well, today it’s photoshoot time for gardens. The weather is right, the month is right, and maybe you will be inspired to “plant a cabbage, get a cabbage, not a Brussel sprout”, haha. Although it’s not time to plant...

(Thank you, Yahoo) How wonderful that Malaysia has decided to allow a large boatload of immigrants into the country and strive to rehabilitate them. Would that others would follow their lead. The photographs of the immigrants show them to be so thin, so poor, and the conditions on immigrant ships are, as we all know, terrible. Malaysian Prime Minister...

Well, these were a  surprise! Mama saw these at night on a Paris street and loved how the eyes followed her as she walked by.  I wish I had been there to see them but why isn’t there a kitty in one of them? I think that first guy is a fox or something, no?  And no doggies either.  Still, it was a great idea. I’m going to get mama to blow up a...

Well, not exactly, but mama passed a pizza place here in our little ville and saw that the owners had put out a very nice cage sort of thing with a sign on it that says “Cemetiere de cajas“, which I thought was really funny. A cemetery for cast off boxes, which can then be recycled. Oh, these French! They really do recycle everything, cans,...

See, this is sort of blurry, no? I don’t think Bonnard would be happy. Well…mama’s still learning and this was in a gallery where one could take pictures but mama was a little nervous about doing it, etc…I think the guard knocked her elbow, haha. Well, mama was wandering around on the internet and found this GREAT website. I’m...

Ready for the multitudes… Families are like salads–full of all sorts of surprises and sometimes, they need another good toss! I think I want to make my blog today out of something mama wrote some time ago, and since we are the cusp of spring and summer, which is the time we see those grandkids running around and most of the family in general,...

They came in and I went out. I dug for awhile before I came in, and that really ticked them off. Well, I foxed ’em this time. They always expect me to wiggle around their legs and myow my little cutsy pootsy sound and bat my kitty lashes at them but not this time, oh, NO. I sort of wandered through the house, upstairs and down, and went outside (a...

I’m just going to roll up in a ball and get under this tee shirt and they can find me when they unpack. Oh, boy, they’re at it again and naturally I can tell by the two suitcases in the middle of the floor, even if they are small ones so it’s probably not for long. There was some talk of mama’s ex-sister-in-law and her partner...

   Well, they are at it again.  I mean who is more important in this crazy world, David Bowie and his retrospective at a wild new concert hall on the outskirts of Paris, or LOULOU?  A brilliant young cellist doing Dvorak and a Brahams symphony or A CUTE LITTLE KITTY LIKE ME? I wish SOME anthros would get their priorities straight every...

(Thank you, Inquisitr) Well, this one is right down our alley.  Female commandos fighting the Taliban in Pakistan! What a brilliant turn of the tables and these women are treated well and with respect.  It’s unfortunate that instead of training to be killers they are not instead in university training to be doctors and lawyers and anything else they...

What does one do when one gets sad and disturbing news? I’ve thought about this a lot and I always want to get near the human and let her, in this case, know I am there to pet or feel or just talk to a little if she feels like it. I suppose that’s all one can do, just be there and be on call when needed. A very dear and longtime friend of mama...
