Tuesday Tummy

Posted by on Jan 31, 2023 | 17 comments

Well, I am just lying here with papa rubbing my tummy in my afternoon nap mode, which is something that happens every day like clockwork. Wait a minute! MAMA! Did you actually take a picture of this very intimate moment? And now everyone can see where that vet guy SHAVED my tummy! (Maybe I should get a bra…).  ...

Marvelous Monday

Marvelous Monday

Posted by on Jan 30, 2023 | 16 comments

May I give all of you a BIG HUG? YOU sparked my Monday! Well, mama was looking for a good spark and came across Alfred’s (normally I call him “Al”) sweet saying that felt to me as though it applies to all of the lovely friends I have made in the blogging world. “If I had a flower for every time I thought of you (all)… I could...

Ear-satz Appendages

Posted by on Jan 28, 2023 | 23 comments

I should have said Ear-Sats, haha since it’s Saturday. Okay, okay….it’s a stretch, but that’s what kitties do, haha. Well, I was minding my own business in a GREAT sun puddle and of course was DISTURBED by The Invasive Photographer who wanted a pic of my ear-satz ears in a shadow, for some strange reason. Well, there they are, mama...

(Last night I was floating right off the sheets…) Then I woke up. 1. I always forget to __bring my…er…derriere into the you know what box to pee after my front parts are in! Mama and papa are teaching me to go forward a bit, and as I have a stronger back end, I think I’ll get it soon,.. 2. I never forget to __take a really good bath...

Tanks A Lot

Tanks A Lot

Well, we are thankful for tanks. Tanks from Germany, tanks from the USA, tanks from wherever they can be had. To help stop a man who is worse than bad. Thanks to all who are sending tanks to Ukraine. And thanks to all of you who have suggested to mama how to get me take meds. She thinks I don’t know but I know full well that my malt paste allotment has...

S’now Or Neve

Posted by on Jan 24, 2023 | 18 comments

Well, this is a stretch, I should have used this title: S’no Joke! HAHA. Neve is snow in Italian, and you can’t say “S’now”, you have to say “snow”…oh, just forget it but hear this: IT SNOWED IN OUR LITTLE FRENCH VILLAGE TODAY. Okay, mama was out with papa to get clams for spaghetti alle vongole (clams in Italian) at our local fish market and it began to...

Healthful Hint

Posted by on Jan 23, 2023 | 16 comments

And…I am bathing again avec plaisir! Maybe meds are working. Well, this is not so much a spark as as suggestion to kitty-lovers everywhere about how to make us kitties take our meds. Mama thinks I don’t know when she’s mixing B12 into yogurt but I love it anyway so that one is taken care of. Plus it turns a lovely pink. My favorite med...

Well, THAT was interesting! I dreamed that someone was trying to rub my tummy, which you know we kitties LOVE, but whatever it was had a strange thing in its paws that ejected cold gel, which was then spread over my nude tummy like cake icing! Argggh. Then IT ran a cold thingy over my tummy and took photos and I knew I was part of some terrible...

DON’T EVER THINK YOU ARE GOING TO GET ME TO THAT JELLY-ON-THE-TUMMY PLACE AGAIN! This tummy was made for RUBBIN’! You got that? I may just lie on my tummy all day so that you can’t snuggle it, you torturers! So there! But I know that there are OTHER kitties out there who are not SHAVED on their precious tummies. It was humiliating, I can...

Feel-ins

Posted by on Jan 20, 2023 | 16 comments

I think I’m thinking but I’m not entirely sure…sometimes daydreaming is more fun. 1. Thinking old thoughts__makes me feel old__so I try to think young ones! 2. Papa__makes me feel young (and mama says the same thing). 3. Recently, _insulin!_ came in very handy. 4. I think that __being cranky and miffed__ is/are the most useless...

WOW THE WONDERS OF THE WORLD!!! WHO KNEW? Well, it’s Wordless Wednesday, but mama was sent this video from a dear friend/family memeber, Daniel, and was rapt at the breakfast table watching these AMAZING little creatures and their work.

He is still direly needed in tbis unequal world. ***** Hey, what about this idea?

Maybe I could move to The Long and Winding Road to get rid of this earworm! 1. A recent earworm I had was __Get Back because mama and papa are watching the Beatles documentary, whoever they are. Just kidding, even KITTIES know those rowdy creative geniuses. Get back, Jojo. 2. I have no interest in reading __bad news every morning from all kinds of online...

Mama, you can put me down, okay? I need the exercise! Well, thanks again to Ms Ellen, guru to gods and mortals, for making us aware of vitamin B12 to improve the back legs of kitties with diabetic weakness, and with crossed paws I report that not only do I walk more easily but I actually walk DOWNSTAIRS and occasionally start to walk UPSTAIRS but have not...
