I’m having to help my aunty Sue get this tummy tuft correctly groomed…jeez, the things I have to do when THEY disappear! Well, I am pretty sure that I am talking to my aunty Sue from the minute I get up until the minute I go to dreamland, because during that time, I do need a bit of “elevation” to the second floor and I’m...

My nip ‘nana helps me think of fill-ins better… 1. I find __that anthros who go on TRIPS are incredibly__ annoying. Mama finds too many food requirements annoying. 2. (Mama talking) Save the Children___ is a favorite charity of mine. I, Loulou, find that all kitty charities are really worthwhile. 3. I often have to explain __why I must have a...

Yep, the whole entire bed is MINE, ALL MINE! Well, mama has some memories of foundlings, not any from a shelter as all of mama’s kitties just sort of appeared out of the blue. But since it’s doggy day we’ll start with memories of sweet Mya, who left us last year. She was my best doggy friend. Here she is eating cherry tomatoes in our...

HEY, WHO ARE THESE DUDES? Mama says not to worry. Hah! One is a sweetie she saw on a street in Viareggio, wherever that is, and the kitten is a new addition to a friend of a friend in Rome. I guess I can live with that… The calico is awfully pretty, and who doesn’t fall for kittens? Okay, mama, but when you get back, you are going to have to answer some...

Peace and quiet… Well, THEY have been off and running for two whole days and I am attempting to settle into my quiet, sane, sun-bathing self and take advantage of my solitude. That is, not exactly solitude as I have my aunty Sue here to spoil me rotten, but it is rather nice at times to have moments to oneself to recharge. Of course, the truth is that mama...

Bask, bask, bask… Well, mama is borrowing a spark from her YouTube exercise person, Pahla B, which is about the fact that we think hundreds of thoughts a day and some aren’t all that great for your well-being and so try this: If a thought feels bad, it’s a bad thought. Ditch it. (Mama puts it mentally in the Trash on her computer). If a thought feels good,...

This is NOT my selfie! Well, I was quite happy with today’s selfie, (as you will eventually see), as it is not blurry, off-balance or any of those other things that seem to happen when nama has that weird THANG in her hands. Plus, I needed to tidy up right when mama aimed that THANG! I really had to take a break in the photo shoot to bathe....

Oui, rub, rub, rub, that’s it, front to back, mama. Keep rubbin’, keep rubbin…oh, boy, do I LOVE this! Basta. Merci. Well, I am a sucker for head rubs and mama can give them for hours, but at a certain point, I am done with them and fall over into a trance. But while we are on the subject, when you get a head rub, do your eyes go all...

Also duvets… 1. Snuggles__, and head rubs__ and long tummy tickles___are a few of my favorite things. 2. If I had __more mobility, I would __love to climb trees! 3. You don’t have to be young to __kick up your heels, mental or physical. 4. WISDOM, tolerance and objectivity (sometimes)__ comes with age. Well, I am not yet what might be considered OLD,...

Thanks for a huge downpour that made every seem to grow overnight! I watched, once again, and wanted to go OUT but mama opened the door and I changed my mind. Changed my mind again. I’m going out there come…well…hell or high water, haha. Oops… No way, Jose. It is pouring the proverbial cats and dogs out there, but this storm might rain alligators! Off to...

WHAT? Haha, mama was with a friend today who was telling her about her favorite name for a daughter, which was Charlotte, but if she and her husband had had children she could never have named her daughter Charlotte. ”Why”, of course mama asked. Well, she said, because of our last name. And mama thought, okay, your last name is Gatto (as in the Italian for...

Hey, mama, you FORGOT to help me with my spark! I had to go to the vet and THEY spent a lot of time preparing my rolling coach, putting in those puppy pads, things like that, which is probably why mama forgot. I told mama that forgetting things might also help you forget problems, too, haha, but she said, “Loulou, you read that somewhere, you...

What could be sweeter than my beloved ‘nana, my cherished rug, and a nice rest after lunch. Mama feels the same way. Just not for the ‘nana… A sweet Sunday for all….🌺🌸🌹 And rain for those who need it, and no rain for those who DON’T. Mama’s leg is such a good...

Ha ha, I’ll bet that sounds weird, instead of saying I sat on the mat, right? But I sat on a Sat today, watching the raindrops from a neat little sheltered place under our eave and had a pretty good time doing it, I must say. Rain is fascinating! And WET. Which is why I asked mama to let me in after a few minutes of pondering the slick patio. But...

If I look less than affectionate, it’s because I do not see any reason to jump up and kissy poo when I have been LEFT for ONE WHOLE NIGHT! Well, THEY are back, with clean teeth and whatever that other thing was, uh, oh, oui, the eyeballs. Both of THEM are ok and seeing well with no changes, that is, BOTH of their sets of eyeballs except that they need to...

Well, where to begin? We are thankful for ANYTHING that can help poor Libya and the terrible flooding that caused so many deaths, and the Moroccan earthquake disaster, and so many places on this earth that are having major problems in their cities and among their inhabitants. In the US it is child poverty and hunger. In the USA! Much of the poverty...

I am happily out of the heat…and NOT at the vet!!! Well, not exactly waiting wordlessly either since I’m here with my kitty sitter aunty Sue and we like to chat. Especially around morning and evening kibble time, haha. Still, I could use a rest for my vocal chords, so have a wondrous Wednesday,...

Of course I know this is my vet’s sink! I just didn’t have a picture of me in the tub! Well, mama and papa are off to do body work, haha. Eye checkup, teeth cleaning, you name it. So I’m taking the day off, too!! Maybe I’ll even have a bath myself. Er…after my Zs....
