Well, I think I was traumatized more than I really knew because I have been catching zees all day long and was out cold before mama woke me up to do today’s rant, haha. Here’s the thing – I’m sort of like mama in that all this hullabaloo and end of year activity and horn blowing and...

I have to have a passport to travel – that’s my photo that says, “Don’t mess with me.” Well, I was a dream on that very calm sea (aside from being stoned on Beaphar, which appeared to work better this time), relaxing in my dark little closet corner on a nice soft...

Haha, instead of sea-sick! I PRAY. I seem to be the only one on the ship having trouble with waves, when there are some, that is. Mama did notice that when seas are a bit iffy, there are plastic bags scattered around on railings, just in case. But the ship is so big that it has stabilizers, whatever they...

HEY, mama, turn that up! 🎶 Well, mama loves the day after Christmas, which is Santo Stefano in Italy and everywhere else, too, but here we still are in Rome until tomorrow so it’s in Italian for us. Because mama loves The Feast of Stephen day, I’m putting in a link to her favorite carol, which always...

Okay, here goes: Mama and papa took mama’s ex’s cousin (92 years old) home at midnight (!) from the Christmas Eve celebration and mama waited in the car (double-parked…hey, it’s Rome) while papa accompanied our dear friend to her apartment. About 20 minutes later, papa called mama on her cell to say they could not get IN the...

MERRY MERRY and JINGLE JINGLES Well, I know by now you have seen my card about a gazillion times so maybe next year I’ll try to time it better, and not send it at what seems like just after Turkey Day! Christmas Eve is the vigilia here…you’ll know everything about it from...

Well, that was a stretch with words, but friends have sent their cards and photos recently with these holidays as the subject and I thought I’d put a few photos on today’s blog just to show you what some anthros do with Santa. This one is from our little town, from our friend, Lynne, who took the photos...

Well, as you well know, we kitties LOVE a tummy rub and when mama begins, I sort of writhe around so that she’ll be sure to get the WHOLE tummy. I could lie here all day… Uh, oh, a...

Well, today and tomorrow are the start of Hanukkah. This December days are really action-packed, whatever that means. For me, of course, it means ripping up wrapping paper and eating well… But Hanukkah is a beautiful holiday although called “lessor” in some descriptions. Personally, I think all holidays are more-ers. ( I put in...

(Hey, at least it collected in a neat and cleanable way, haha.) Okay, okay, so kitties shed. So what else is new, mama? We’re not billiard balls. And YOU’RE the one who used your extra comforter, because it matched my hair, to make my sleeping place under your bed! Just use that...

Well, mama was out on the Corso, Rome’s shopping street, and she stopped to meet these darlings. Their papa says that they have been friends for a long time, Viola on the left and Jagger, the kitty, named after Mick, on the right. They live on the street, homeless and wet in the...

Dear Jan at The Funny Farm, What a beautiful name for a kitty. Today I want to say from us here in France and from so many friends of Jan at Jan’s Funny Farm, that we are so very saddened by her loss of her beloved Percy. The Funny Farm family is now four, and we hope that Jan has comfort in that. I’m sure Percy’s friends at The...

MAMA, ARE YOU OKAY? Well, mama is no Fay Wray (original actress in King Kong and before my time, haha), but she had me going there for a minute when she brought home these pics taken at the Palazzo delle Espozitione here in Roma. Fascinating! Is that what I...

We’re going to take FOCACCIA? Oh, boy…olive oil to lick off my paws! Well, not really 5-minute and not made of kitties, just doing a little alliteration there, but that’s about all it takes to stir up the dough and (after the 30-minute rise during which you can do lots of other things)...

Mama, I want to make FOOD food, not eat this fake rat! Well, I wanted a second lesson in the kitchen so mama indulged me by pulling out all the leftovers in the fridge and sautéing them in olive oil, mixing them with beaten eggs salt and pepper, and voila…dinner! Well, not all leftovers, because you...

Well. it’s full moon time again and mama says that she can’t believe where the days go from one full moon to the next! She took the “art” shot below out of our window, actually two, one from inside and one from the open door and I made sure they were in focus this time. ...

Maybe we should start with roast chicken, no? Well, this is the day I decided to ask mama to teach me how to cook so that I could have a skill that provides one of life’s great joys to others – making good-tasting, healthy food for friends and family. Hah, strangers included! In short, I love to eat, so...

Just had to publish this wonderful photo – Looking For Action! (Pinterest, thank you.) Well, do you ever feel as if you need to get some action in your days so that you can write about it in your blog and you think and think and not much comes to mind except that you grocery-shopped, cleaned the...

No, this is not a shark’s fin… Well, mama’s help with my selfies is just about nil, as you will see from these pathetic attempts, but to be fair, mama FINALLY took one that passed muster, whatever that is. Maybe it is muster that’s been hanging her up with these...
