I just had to put in this happy pic! Well, I mentioned several weeks ago that mama’s nephew had fallen for a little kitty named Alvin, who is now my paw pal, and yesterday when mama and papa were Zooming with said nephew, Alvin snuggled up to his papa and I just couldn’t resist sharing his photo with...

Rollin’ on warm stepping stones…one of life’s great pleasures! Well, we have had weird and funny half-hearted rain for one day only and a cold morning that was NOT welcome around here! Mama loves summer and soft winds and balmy days (her mother-in-law called them barmy days, which was often more...

I am keeping watch over my sweet little friends so that they can finished their dinner. Well, tonight there was a huge, FAT, tourterelle terrorizing mama’s sweet little couple who show up right at six for their crushed toasts. BIG FAT BULLY PREDATOR! Every time mama’s little birdies tried to get at the...

Well, first I stop it from attacking, paw-pinning it down! Then, so fast I become a blur, I let it know that I AM THE BANANA BOSS AROUND HERE! (My little pinky surrogate kitten watches avidly!) My eyes go glassy as I subjugate my...

JEAN, WHAT ON EARTH ARE YOU DOING (no pun intended)? Bonjour, Loulou. Well, actually we DON’T dig a lot, but we do know that our green-thumb neighbor, Jean, who has the lovely big garden below us (now growing strawberries and the famous peppers...

A question: Well, we are interested in how you all are doing wherever you are and how your lives have changed, or not changed, and if you have discovered some interesting, or even uninteresting (!) solutions for coping with all of these new rules and regulations. Just curious. Hey, I’m...

Well, were enjoying a lovely Sunday with soft winds and mama’s tomatoes turning red at last and tomato sauce bubbling on the stove for tonight’s usual pizza rustica and I was taking a Sunday snooze as I always do after mama and papa’s little nap and that was about all I had to report today...

Whatcha lookin’ at birdie? Well, mama says there is something called a Mexican Standoff so I guess that’s what I’m having with this silly tourterelle (turtledove) who seems to think he is king of roost! He has NO fear! (With good reason, I am a little wary of HIM and we give...

For example — I thought this was nip and started nipping and found it was BASIl… Well, for me those letters stand for “Thank god I founder”…every now and then at least. Because if we didn’t screw up from time to time, we wouldn’t really know what works, right? Or...

I love to hide from mama in the garden. She’ll NEVER find me here! Well, this is a simple fact: I just feel better around greenery and flowers and really sweet weeds that mama lets grow in the garden just for me to munch on. Because of our nice mulch there are few weeds so she actually dug up a few from a nearby bio garden and PLANTED THEM!...

Hmmm…I hope my solution works out for mama. Well, I’m not too worried that mama has a bit of arthritis in the shoulder, and the doc said heat would help, and so now she will, for SURE, let me sleep on her head…er…shoulder, where I would prefer to sleep anyway rather than wedged between two nightly-moving knees! And do you think...

A BIG sun puddle! Well, mama seems to have some arthrose in her shoulder but we won’t see our doc until tomorrow. So I’ll just enjoy this amazing spate (whatever that is) of sun and sun puddles, and so many flowers on the famous hibiscus that we have lost count! He is now officially “Bisky” and we converse with him...

Zilch, nada, rien, niente, nothing HAPPENED! Well, that was much ado about nothing, and I’m sorry if I led you astray. You all were so kind to offer comments on and consolation for the never-materialized FIREWORKS! I’m pretty sure it was the mask/distancing/no-crowds rules that changed the...

Oh, Loulou, you’ll have to take care tonight… Okay, papa, I have it all carefully planned, being a seasoned-St. Vincent-celebration-kitty. So what do you think, papa, would this duvet baffle the poppin’ and ‘splosions? Hey, Loulou, go for it. Okay,...

Did you hear something? We kitties are always on the alert to possible attacks from unidentified flying/swooping/diving objects/insects/animals/anthros and I am seriously attentive to those strange sounds in the night that sound as if someone has dropped a really BIG popcorn machine (Loulou,...

Hey, mama, pull that curtain, you may be awake but I’m snoozing. Well, okay, we are up and at ’em quite early, with a delightful morning laugh from an email or a bit of positive news from The Optimist, a Washington Post newsletter, and that’s about all we can do right now to handle these unusual...
