                  I have resigned myself to holding my own paws because I’m going to have to love myself all by myself if these outbursts of ecstasy over tiny creatures continues in this household! So here’s the story: mama and papa went to visit two friends (at a distance) and take them some...

          There were WHAT in his backyard? Oh, boy, a friend of ours who helped mama in the garden some years ago installed a camera in his yard to see who was tearing up the soil, and this is what he saw! Because of lack of food due to so many changes around here with Covid and climate and  more, the wild boar (sangliers in...

            Mama, those are just green sticks with leaves!  Why did donks love those? Well, mama goes bananas when she has spring artichokes, haha.  They are in season now and we are eating frittatas and omelets and little thin-sliced baby artichokes sautéd in olive oil and I was watching the other day when mama even threw a...

              I’m overseeing this project today.  I’m making sure they do the kindest cuts of all… Well, l’arbousier est coupé!  The strawberry tree has a really lovely haircut and I shall keep a record of how it develops.  I’m pretty sure that he will branch out, haha, as spring approaches....

                  I have to take pics of these guys?  It’s too COLD, mama! Well, tomorrow I have to get out my camera and take pics of the tree guys who are going to cut our strawberry tree way back so that it can branch out in the spring.  Mama is hoping that just maybe it will back off on producing so...

            Mama, do you think they can capture this pose in a clone? Well,  here’s a cutie! And there may be much discussion about the cloning of endangered species, but I happen to think it is pretty amazing!  Of course, I can’t stop it, that’s for sure, so I decided to just go with it and be tickled over...

Does This Ever…?

                  Well, does this ever happen to you bloggers out there? You start to write about something you think everyone will like, and then you say to yourself (yes, talking to yourself is sometimes questionable, but that’s where I am right now…) “Gee, I don’t think this is going...

Just call me Tuckered… Well, I seem to be in a wintertime wastrel sort of state…not doing much, just lolling around trying to keep warm and half-heartedly attempting to attract a tummy rub from ANYONE, doesn’t matter whom.  Just get over here and DO it, mecs! Was I bitten by one of those bad mosquitoes?  One of those snoozing-sickness...

                  OH, these kids are amazing… Well, mama and papa had to get out their tear tissues this morning when Mya’s maman sent this amazing video of enterprising young people from Paraguay. I never want to put things in my blog that make you cry, but as we kitties know, tears just happen...

                Oh, my goodness, that is an amazing work of art! Well, if you have not seen the magnificent Italian boat that is competing in The Americas Cup, take a little trip to whatever channel you have that’s running the race and marvel at something WE had never seen before. EVER.  When mama first saw the...

                  Mama’s app screen to find out what I am saying.  In your dreams, mama… And no, I don’t mean appartment!  I mean apps that work and apps that …er…are totally puzzling and we can’t figure out why they exist at all! For example, mama has a listening app for when I make a...

  Well, mama and papa were looking at a video that demonstrated the Blue Note in music, so interesting! It’s that sort of bend of the strings that guitarists do, whatever they are, and singers do it and violins do it.  All very, very puzzling to a kitty, that’s for sure but lots of music uses blue notes. So I watched, thinking maybe I...

                  Haha, yes, misspelled for a reason, okay? Mama is worried that somehow, being isolated for almost one whole year now, she is falling for her head-captivity-honcho, ie, isolation during COVID-19! Even if I know better, that mama really is a social creature and loves dancing on tables, I do see...

                  Hey, is this a normal pouch or what? Well, hah!  Maybe I have NEVER been…er…a bit too round, as Ms Vet seemed to imply.  Thanks to this article that Mary McNeil sent, I might actually be svelte and perfectly shaped as a Tuxie, except for my (little) hereditary pouch underneath!...

Thank you, Ann Adamus, for the lovely poster. Well, I try to floss every day, haha, but I really am going to have to take a break from this obsession with small rodents.  Happy Dr Seuss Day anyway.  Bet he would have a few words for Flos! It’s just that if you get a chance and can go to www.Bluemountain.com there is the most wonderful card of a...

              Okay, female kitties, listen up. I am starting a new movement because I became aware TODAY (took a while) that our front teeth are called canines and you know what THAT means.  They are named after DOGGIES and should be renamed something like “critter” teeth to include all animals, great and...

Jeez Louise, what do I have to do to get myself back in MY blog instead of this flirty little Flos.  And he KNOWS...
