Well, let us ring in the New Year with a laugh. Thank you, Daniel, who sends me funnies all the time, for this one. I must admit that when mama or papa scratches me…er…near my tail, I go into paroxysms of joy, whatever they are. But I go into them. Now, dear readers, please have a safe and bubbly new year with nice things to munch and good...

MARY SENT THAT? Thank you, Mary, and happy new year, too. Mary McNeil sent this lovely ‘gift’, this wondrous kitty for the New Year, and I know you’ll enjoy the story. So moving. So you see that kitties can accomplish anything, with love and care and determination. I am just back from that HARROWING (whatever that means) sea cruise and...
Read MoreChill Out
I think I had better learn to make whatever this is for all those bubbly-sipping anthros. I guess chilling out means icing the bubbly for some, since in a couple of days anthros will be ringing in the New Year with that little funny baby anthro in his diaper as a symbol of 2018! Bet he’s cold running around in a loin cloth! Like mama’s...
Read MoreCzech-Up
Well, I won’t be able to do my blog today or tomorrow because I am in transito, between homes, and in this case, countries, so I’m just going to put in a few nice pics to keep you amused until we meet again. Mama suggested this title because she is from Bohemian heritage (Czech) and, as usual, wanted to make a pun. Oh, well, you gotta humor...
Read MoreCiao, Ciao, Gattina
WHAT’S THAT? WE’RE GOING WHERE? IN MY TRAVELING APARTMENT (better known as CAGE)? Okay, okay, it’s comfortable enough and it’s only for one hour to the WOO WOO MONSTER! And then the next day, only two hours to HOME, SWEET HOME, wherever that is. They tell me MY garden is awaiting my illustrious presence. You don’t have to...
Read MoreOh, Hear The Angel Voices
Boy, we could lie here all day listening to that sweet voice. Well, last year mama asked Raena Belle and Dezi if they could persuade their mama to sing a carol on Christmas, and it was such a lovely surprise to hear that amazing voice singing not one, not two, but three excerpts from carols. What a nice Christmas present for us all. Thank you so much,...

I could have worn this to the Santo Stefano carnival, but I think it’s far away. Well, today is Santo Stefano, St. Stephen’s day and this short history will tell you all in a few short paragraphs. But what mama loves most is the lovely song about Good King Wenceslas who, with his page, went out on a snowy evening and found a poor man gathering...
Read MoreTHE DAY!!!
Or, rather, the night!!! I WAS NOT INVITED TO THE VIGILIA, as it is called in Italy, the vigil. But I had a vigil of my own thinking about this TUNA AND POTATO Pesce Finto (fake fish) that the little grandanthro, Margherita, decorated all by herself. My favourite part is the tongue. I think we have a budding caterer in the family, and she’s only...
Read MoreEcco Santa? (Santa Is Here?)
Waiting How long did you say I have to wait? MAMA, ARE YOU FUNNIN’ ME? Okay, napping and waiting for whatever it is I’m waiting for. Well, I may be waiting for you know who, but mamma has gone round the bend on Xmas Eve, evidently waiting for saner moments! She’s talking to FAKE animals on the street who giggle and make squeaky noises and...
Read MoreA Tail of Two Kitties
SEE! SEE! I have a pretty skinny LEG, too! GEE, I come into breakfast and twist around their chairs and rub on their ankles and look adorable and PAPA says, “Gee, Loulou, are you getting a little round in the middle?” And then mama says, “Actually, take another look. I’ve been working out with Loulou and I think she looks very...
Read MoreKooky Cookies
Mama, can I help you pat out the dough for the almond cookies? Uh, no offense, Loulation, but…er…maybe next time. Well, mama is urging me to give you this EASY PEASY recipe for almond cookies for the holiday or New Year’s because 1. there is no fat or flour or cream or anything fattening in them and 2. they taste divine. Even I, in my...

Do NOT make me go to Nepal, PLEASE!!! Well, today I am posting a story from Yoda, a traveling kitty who really went the distance!!! I don’t do this often, but I felt it was interesting to see how we kitties are so resilient, and there are some very good articles on what cats can and cannot eat and more on the website. Mama finally open the photo of...
Read MoreFour To Go
Well, sooo…one for the money, two for the show, three to get ready and the rest is history…whatever any of that means. I think I’m getting it. FOUR days until you know who, Mr. Red Suit, Babbo Natale, Kris Kringle, you name him, shows up down our chimneys and makes little anthros squeal all over the world. Not a bad thing if you’re...
Read MoreOrlando Furioso
OOPS. Published without being finished. Sorry! YOU TOOK A PICTURE OF ANOTHER DOGGY AT A PARTY TO WHICH I WAS NOT INVITED??? Well, Orlando Furioso is an Italian poem about unrequited love between…well…a guy named Orlando and Angelica, and it’s sort of a similar poem to The Song of Roland with the same theme, unrequited love. Poor...
Read MoreWeary Waiting
I’m dreaming of a white Christmuzzle, just like the muzzles I used to know…la la la… Actually I have not really known many muzzles but this Christmuzzle promises to be short and sweet. The best kind, if you ask me. All this build up, gift-shopping, gift-wrapping, gift-giving, paper-ripping, ribbon-ravelling, and what for, I ask you? You...
Read MorePhoto Finishers
Well, so many of your lovely and funny photos on various blogs really make me smile, but I just have to put this link in to the funniest animal photography winners for this year, because mama and papa and I fell off our chairs laughing at the little owl and the singing frogs!!! Boy, I wish these photos came with sound! Well, maybe not the bears, haha. How...
Read MoreCheered Up
Well, mama saw that I was a little blue yesterday and she consoled me really well and gave me tummy rubs and talked to me about how nice it is to be here with the little munchkin grand-anthros and their mama and papa and with papa’s ex, whom we love, and with papa’s ex’s cousin, whom we love and so I snapped right out of my mood indigo...
Read MoreThis Is Christmas Cheer?
Well, I am a bit agitated and blue today. And I really wish to be laughing so that the world will laugh with me, as the saying goes. Maybe tomorrow… In fact, I promise that tomorrow sweet nothings will issue forth from my little pink bocca. Here goes: Mamma reads me the mews in the morning and today it was disturbing beyond disturbing. Millions...
Read MoreFaux La La La La
Well, I am so, so frustrated that I just feel like rabbit-kicking this bed cover to kingdom come, wherever that is. You know why? Because every day, and I mean EVERY day, outside our apartment, I hear what I am SURE are sleigh bells…chuh, chuh, chuh, as if they are being shaken in a perfect rhythm by you know who. IN FACT, THERE THEY GO AGAIN!!! AS...
Read MoreSanta Claws? Whatever That Is…
Nothin’ out there yet. Wait a minute…maybe I missed something! Do I hear sleigh bells (whatever they are)? Mamma, there is NOTHING OUT THERE. What’s all this hullabaloo about some guy in a red suit showing up? Okay, that’s IT! I’m sackin’ out…too much stress on all of this. ***** BUT, you haven’t lived...
