Thankful for a pillowcase to keep my nose warm! Well, we are thankful for kind people like this man who adopted a baby alligator and has become famous for his care and concern for gators. Mama is not sure she would snooze with Wallygator, but he is awfully cute in his swimming pool photos, and he seems to be smiling all the time. Stay tuned for mama’s new...

I need a rest…Wednesday is the best rest day… Haha, just thought that sounded cool for Wednesday, but hey, if you didn’t get it, you are probably a wise anthro, haha. It was just a little mama joke. Maybe I should have used Mum… But that was a deodorant years ago, mama said! Okay, I’m leaving that deep thought, taking...

Mama thinks that sometimes I could give more thought to my ladylike comportment, whatever that is…mama, don’t tell tails out of school, haha. Today’s spark: Well, you have to have an omelet to break eggs, right? Uh, maybe it’s the other way around, but around here, we set our sights on the result and then work toward it, haha. Papa...

(Personally, I think I look a little wee-wah.) Well, mama and I are posting mama/daughter selfies today, just for fun. Mama did hers YEARS ago, if you get my drift, hah, and mine, a couple of years ago, in my golden youth, haha, for an Expo with her friend, Anne. And the very talented artist/friend, Anne Pujalte, who does animals (and MORE) so beautifully,...

Hey, this is pretty artful, no? Okay, I’ll get serious. Here are two of mama’s step-grand-anthros, painted long ago when they were teen-agers. Julian, now with short hair. Lisa, now a writer and manager of an art gallery in London. I think, personally, that mama needs to get up to speed with being in the PRESENT!  Paint something that is NOW...

I used to __play more often__ back when __I was a younger kittie but now I have trouble with sports activities,...

Thanks for SO much! Just hitting on a few today… Thanks for Mirataz, an appetite-enhancer for recalcitrant kitties… Thanks for Ellen’s good advice about Mirataz. Thanks for Biden forgiving student loans so that education will be more accessible to more people who struggle to better their lives with learning. Thanks for bringing down...

Minding my business, as usual, and having guests is energy diminishing sometimes…recuperation is necessary! Uh, oh, I hear something… Yep, someone is sneaking up on me. WHO IS INTERRUPTING MY REST…AGAIN? Hah, that’s better. Whoever it was knew better than to mess with a comfortable kitty! I guess my lessons are paying...

Okay, mama can’t find me but I’m giving her a hint by peeking out of the roses. Why is she watching those dumb birds pecking at their bird balls instead of ME, surrounded by roses RIGHT IN FRONT OF HER! HELLO, MAMA! Can you see me NOW? Jeez, Louise, what does it take?...

(Uh, oh, I think mama is about to stop rubbing and start cleaning up…) So I was thinking that a good spark, which maybe has been mentioned before in another blog, is that you can catch more flies with honey than with vinegar, and so when mama was starting to get really busy cleaning up things and I was on the bed needing a little ear and tummy rub, I sort...

Is this a loop? Well, I think our sudden autumn weather (read: cold!) through me for a loop, whatever that means. And mama’s step-grand-anthro and stepdaughter are coming to bask in the sun and be WARM. Arggggh….but I managed to make my brain function despite all the roadblocks. 1. I would like to see what books are on __Agatha Christie’s...

  Here I am with nana, silver vine and some dumb critter whose name I do not know, but at least I am stretching in my old manner to seduce mama to give me kibble…. Well, THEY went up on a terrace to see the poppers and boy, was that a LONG show.  I think our mayor wanted to outdo all the other years of mid-August fireworks and so he had them just pop...

Well, tonight is the night our little village has a huge fireworks show over the sea in the bay and everyone is on pins and needles (ouch!) to see if the WIND will die down before 10 tonight! Or in our time-speak, 22:00h. THEY will be watching from the house they rented for the grand-anthros, five of whom were not able to come because of an emergency with...

Contemplating what I just wrote… If at first you don’t succeed, maybe you are working with the wrong tools… Tools, of course, being how you THOUGHT it should work, or how you MEANT it to work, or how you ASSUMED it would work, when how it really works is still an unknown until you let the problem tell YOU what will succeed. Now that you...

Not my best selfie but what the heck…I think you know what I really look like, haha. I hope. Well, today we are all over the map, so to speak – phone calls from family in Italy, grandkids’ WhatsApps about when they might be here and where they are (all over the map, too) and then news of a dear friend we have lost in Rome this past week,...

Okay, here is our first Saturday Loonypic showing my innate desire to REST all the time. Below is some REAL art by a real artist (not mama on Lunapic, haha; she has forgotten which Lunapic she used! The little grey cells were slow today). Speaking of which, it’s a big book day around here because mama has finished the LAST M. Poirot of Agatha Christie....

Oh, lordy, what I saw in that closet knocked me OUT! And this is only number 17 – I still have one snooze hour to go. On second thought I might just take the whole day after THAT experience! 1. I’d like to peek into __The Orange-Haired Sociopath’s closet. Bet there are some really interesting items in there……. 2, I secretly...
