Still thinking about this very sad week. Ellen lost her Phoebe at 15 and Meowing and might like a nice little visit. Hugs, Ellen. Phoebe, you have two of the most exotic and beautiful eyes I have ever seen. Tuxies like me with our big round ones sometimes are a bit envious of those wild slanted eyes. And your coloring was so lovely, too. I’m sad...

Buddy, thinking of you….and Jan, and all the animals who will miss you in their home. And also thinking of Zuzu and her family. So sad to lose two good friends so close together. Love to all. Oh, Jan, we are so, so sad for your loss. Such a great companion who gave you so much, and you, to him. We are thinking of you today. Courage. I didn’t...

Well, I’m out here strolling under a nice little moon (that looks full in this pic but it’s only about 1/8, whatever that is) and I sort of like the idea of a moon bath. Uh, oh, mama rattling my little anti-tartar kibbles, which means I willingly return to my bedie-bye and think about snoozing. Funny what those little kibbles can accomplish,...

Oh, boy, mama and I just finished a wonderful book called The Inner Life of Cats by Thomas McNamee, which left mama in tears and me, well, blinking slow signals to mama about how much I love her and papa. A lovely book, covering all you would ever need to know about how to have your kitty become a loving and responsive member of your family. I think I...

WHAT? WHAT HAPPENED, MAMA? Oh, no, papa’s driver’s license was not ready when mama’s was and they need BOTH their permits to drive us to Italy to see the little bad anthrokids and several friends from across the pond who are going to be there when we are. Or when we WERE at this point. But hey, that means I’m not on a car trip for...

So, you probably know just what I am doing here. No? You know how birds hone their beaks on a fence or branch or whatever? Well, I’m sharpening my killer weapons so that IF I decide to pounce or leap or trap or do any kind of subversive action having to do with our garden’s feathered creatures, it will be a QUICK demise for the victim. (Not...

Well, since I didn’t GO anywhere for summer holidays, I’m trying to amuse myself as best I can by helping mama make the bed. So while I was doing THIS (on the edge of boredom), that bad doggy, Mya, was taken on a three-week trip to Brittany by her parents and she sent some shots from HER tarvels!!! Here she is with her papa in a long, lovely...

YAY, YAY, let’s hear it for FRIDA, the WONDER DOG OF MEXICO!!! (Thank you, Mya’s mama, for bringing this to my attention.) Frida is going to make “going to the dogs” a very positive statement!!! Would that there were doggies everywhere like her. Brava, Frida. Read her story and send hugs to this very brave and extraordinary doggy. ...

That was one exhausting evening. I just had to stretch out and contemplate how to have visitors and make them feel at home. But meanwhile, taking a good snooze does it for me every time. I call it my Sleep Yoga, because I always wake up with new, fresh ideas about almost everything. Especially how to sleep better. One must be aware of one’s pose,...

Well, yes, you might recognize that bad doggy, Mya, who is here to visit and is now following me around trying to make friends, but I’m just not up for it yet. Maybe I’m just a bad hostess. She just keeps following and following and since I don’t know where I’M going, she probably doesn’t either, so I’m going outside....

Well, I have to take a minute to direct you to The Supawstars Spotlight Award from Kitty Clysm and we are very proud to be part of this!!! Merci, grazie and thanks to Kitty Clysm for choosing us to be Supawstars!!! I hope we can live up this. But meanwhile… Some of you have seen this look before. Some of you KNOW WHY! Some of you have no idea how I...

If you think I am on the hunt with my dilated pupils, YOU’RE RIGHT! I’m huntin’ mama who has just come in from her walk with a photo of THESE TWO: I have to say, the sweet little doggy who cannot see is really cute, and that’s her sidekick with her, also not able to see well and barks at big dogs who pass by, protecting his...

No, it was not I who fell. Alas, it was mama. Yes, the time has come to say that mama has only done this once, long ago, in Hawaii, jogging around the park in Honolulu, and bammo, flat on the left cheek but thanks to the quick thinking young man who was running the Coca Cola stand during a festival in the park and who was right next to mama’s...

So here I am lounging on my favourite outdoor chair, whilst sniffing the air from the kitchen that is driving me batty! Mama, inspired by Mya’s mama who is traveling in Brittany, is making lotte a l’armoricaine, which is a fish soup to end all fish soups and I, of course, will be given, in the process, some nice fresh fish to nibble on. The...

Well, I cleaned up the house from floor to…well…floor, I certainly couldn’t reach the ceiling, and that house sparkled when THEY finally got the door open. But this kitty is tuckered out, you had better believe it. And even more tuckered after about a gazillion tummy rubs and snuggles from the guilty parties attempting to make amends,...

Uh, oh, somebody’s ringing our doorbell! OH, NO, IT’S MAMA AND PAPA BACK HOME AND CAN’T FIND THEIR HOUSE KEYS! So do they really think I’m about to open that door? No way, Jose. I’m outta here because while their scruffing around in mama’s huge bag to try to let themselves in, I have to run around this place and CLEAN...

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz…. Well, peace and quiet at last. THEY have taken the night off to go meet a friend in Barcelona who is having an eye exam at the really good clinic there, and there is some hope that the doctor there might be able to help. But they won’t know until tomorrow… MEANWHILE, back at...

Well, I’m taking a little break today because I have been upstaged by another kitty, a Bengal-spotted-Zuzi (her name, Zuzi, not a race of kitty), and I’m deferring to her because mama says you have to be polite to your friends and give them a little space every now and then. But I SAW what happened when THEY visited Zuzi–they fell in...

NO, NO don’t make me pick tomatoes, especially cherry tomatoes, which are not only hard to see but my paws don’t quite work that daintily. I think I’ll just snip off the whole branch and that way they’ll remain fresh for eating (heh, heh, mama duped again and my work cut in half!). But seriously, folks, there’s nothing like...

Oh, boy, mama’s calling me to come help in the kitchen…now what? Uh, oh, mama’s on a sourdough kick. Not that she wasn’t on one, say, a gazillion years ago (okay, okay, mama, a few years ago), but at that time she was experimenting with all kinds of cooking and sourdough starters were just a part of the knowledge. This one is just...
