You guys go ahead.  I think I’ll just stay here and…er…get some work done, zzzzzzz. (The beach IS the world’s best litter box, that’s for sure!) Well, Mya’s mama sent this article about an amazing artist who is creating works made from debris she found on beaches. Mama remembers that when she was in Italy as a young...

Uh, could you get that sunhat you promised me?  Or stand somewhere and shade my eyeballs? Well, it’s about 90F here today and you can guess where I am and will stay.  Lying down. Snoozing.  Awaking only for a rub from papa because he cannot pass by me without WAKING ME UP to get rubbed!  Maybe if I lie in the roses he won’t be so tempted. Mama...

Well, mama has been trying to help me get this wonderful video on my blog of happy animals from everywhere, and we are still unable to do it. It came from mama’s sis-in-law and partner in an email and made mama’s morning so happy that she said I should share it so that YOUR mornings are happy, too. Anytime mama or papa feels blue, she/he looks...

Well, I hope I didn’t throw you a bum steer, whatever that is.  It’s probably pretty heavy so I wouldn’t be doing it anyway.  But mama and papa sat up on a deck we have and spent about two hours waiting for the red moon and both of them (I SAW this, they are so bad) went to snoozeville and suddenly mama awoke and woke up papa with...

I’m waiting out here in the dark because I do NOT want to miss THIS! Well, get out your binocs, whatever they are. Tonight, at least where we are in France, there will be a TOTAL eclipse of Mr. Moon, and he will turn RED and BIG and BEAUTIFUL. We here are going outside around nine to watch the moon rise and disappear and maybe turn black, too! WOW. ...

Loulou, if you want to run for mayor, I’ll back you all the way, but  you have to CHANGE things that need changing. Well, I may have new career opening up in the future: Check this out. I’m not sure I am eligible for office here, because I don’t really feel totally comfortable around crowds of voters and I would have to get out the vote,...

(Hey, is this mint for mojitos?) Well, I’m out in the sun all the time, in those spots of light and warmth on the tiles, and I could lie there all day (and often do), but mama and papa are really careful these days about basking in sunlight, whatever basking is, and it’s so pretty here right now. You see, long ago, mama says, when she was young...

Well, mama is making something called mamalade and I hope it’s not made with mamas!! She gets these things in her head and the next thing I know there are smells of orange peel and brown sugar, and lemon peel, too, coming out of our kitchen and up to my lair in papa’s office.  I have taken to being there just to let him (finally) know that I...

GOLD? Well, I don’t see any gold in Jean’s garden or in ours, but mama is talking about marigolds, I think, not REAL gold. Hey, I thought I was the real GOLD in the garden! NOW we’re talking gold.  FINALLY a tomato ripening.  Thought they’d never show up. I’m pretty sure it was my garden makeover before THEY came home that...

Hey, some kitties know where to lie in the garden and I love the roquette, arugula, rocket salad that grows out of the pavers. Sometimes I switch and lie in the sage. Mama says I am nuts, that I should be lying in the nip since we have such a big bed of it. She even took a photo of it to show me where to go…duh…but after the camera got its pic...

Well, here I am, gardening, gathering, and grooving.  What more could a kitty want? I put on my gloves, and then, little cherry tomatoes are my first pick of the day(not the ones on the ground, they are for Mya, haha), and then I space out in sun puddles on the cool tiles. Not a bad life, eh?  How are your summer days unfolding? Maybe a nap in the arugula...

You see, THEY went away and left me with this OTHER Loulou, to whom I say good morning each day after having had my breakfast and deciding to move on upstairs to the lying-down place.  But even now that they are back, I STILL say hello to my friend and sometimes, as in this morning, I even go up the stairs and try to look BEHIND that Loulou to see...

Guess who is ruling the roost NOW?…

HEY, these legs weren’t here yesterday! Oops, I forgot the “home again, home again” part. So, yes, THEY are HERE, snuggling and cuddling me endlessly and give into it by rolling around on my back and looking pleased about the tummy tickles. It really is nice, I have to admit.  Maybe tonight I’ll actually watch Peaky Blinders with...

Short post today. C for coming home. C for catnip growing well. C for calm on the Mediterranean (sea). C for cuddles coming. C for cutting out right now–haven’t finished the welcome sign!...

So, when I put in that link to anthros and the lengths they go to for their “pets” (read: family members), did anyone think that they might be, some of them at least, OUT OF THEIR MINDS?  The anthros, that is, NOT the animals!  That article cracked me up!  Maybe they should add plastic fur-gery to the list, haha. I have to say, there were...

Ha, ha, here is silly  me, attempting to laugh after UNSUCCESSFULLY getting my PICS BACK from that which will not be named but it begins with P! Alas, I meant to say “dork”around, but papa says that’s not a nice word. But I feel like such a dork, after having made attempt after attempt to get my blog out WITHOUT the photo gallery that I want to...

Still trying to figure out Adobe Photoshop Elements 13.  Exhausting. HAH!  If I couldn’t borrow my OWN pics from the internet, where would I be, I ask you? As for lending, I don’t really mind too much if some anthro needs a pic of a tuxie and it happens to be ME, because I’ll have to admit that I have ‘borrowed’ an image...
