Well, aren’t we all in little ways. You are certainly important to ME/US! And every now and then, I feel a nose-y selfie is needed to set the world spinning properly. Will it help? Who nose?...

Well, sometimes mama just can’t keep her iPhone steady, who knows why? She bumps her elbow while holding it or it slips a bit but whatever happens it means one thing: BLURRED BOOPERS. Here’s a better example. Really, mama, this could be ANY Tuxie on earth! I think I’ll just will that first one to be Luapic-ed! It’s a grey day today,...

I just filled-in one of our birdie feeders…piece of cake. I just think it and voila, FILLED! What a life…. Mama did these fills today as I am busy elsewhere with planting and…uh, watering…. 1. My summer bucket list includes __staying out of the crowds in our little village, __gardening and hoping for tomatoes__ and __sitting with my...

Uh, oh, better straighten up THEIR bed…I hear mama on the stairs…I’ll work on my thankfuls in the garden… Well, today we’re thinking about so many thankfuls! All of you out there, for a start, and your lively lives full of sweet kitties and sweet peeps! Thats ‘people’, not birdies… I’m thankful to be a...

Well, mama’s and papa’s sisinlaw’s partner, Daniel, who is a birdie-whisperer, took this sweet little video of a moment with a Towhee having his “toilette”….aren’t birdies just the cutest things ever? And this one loves peanuts along with his bath… So this is our Tuesday treat, merci, Daniel! And now, YOURS!...

I’m putting my whine in the bin to smile at this warm gravel! Ummmm…. Haha, I know that whine is spelled differently in the UK but what the heck… I should have thought of something other than sparkling since whining at all is NOT so sparkly, haha. But our spark today is DON’T WHINE, YOU’LL BE FINE, HOLD THE COMPLAINT, HAVE SOME CONSTRAINT! Sometimes if you...

Maybe too close for comfort. Certainly for elegance, haha. I wanted to do one of mama but she kept moving around and frankly, I KNOW she would not like a selfie close-up right now, haha. Happy Sunday to all. Time to quit…….....

Well, is Saturday Selfie Day or am I getting it mixed up with Sunday? Mama couldn’t remember… Who knows? I’ll give her a little help. Think I’ll just go with Saturday… Up close and purrsonal, right? Happy end of...

Keeping an eye on all the garden birdies while THEY were on the way home…somebody has to do it. Those birdies think this is their exclusive restaurant!  “Table for two, Loulou.” ********************************************************** Well, I think mama had better fill these first ones in: 1. My preferred method of procrastination is...

I always have this shadowy companion for company.. Boy, is it nice to have THEM where they belong! But that other place is so close to their hearts and so much a part of their lives and the home of papa’s son and family that they love being there. Can’t say the same for GETTING there. It’s a 2-night, 3-day drive and tunnels abound but on...

My garden is my GURU to help me relax with all this craziness that comes with THEIR return! Well, it’s TOO much that THEY are back…running about like crazed weasels trying to unpack and find things they put somewhere and forgot where and planting tomatoes that mama brought back IN THE CAR in a little pot and getting groceries and making...

My last quick snooze in MY house before…well…you know. And I will admit, it will be sweet for THEM to get back to my THEIR house and if my ears are working well, THEY have just driven in!!! Oh, boy, are THEY going to be surprised at the roses I arranged in a vase for THEM, two Sweet Loves and I am sure you can figure out why I picked those…...

I’m going to have to look into this when THEY return…THEY will have some explaining to do!  Maybe put some tuna crumbs in the bed…. Well, THEY went out for a little walk in Rome and just happened, hah, on a place where myriad kitties hang out and have done so for years, some leaving, others coming because the shopkeeper LOVES kitties.. I am sure THEY knew...

Well, I’m not protesting THEIR return, I’m really happy about it, but I thought I’d get in a little colorful Lunapic “floating” while I’m queen of the house. I guess you’d call me a homecoming queen, haha. THEY won’t be here until Monday but it gives me time to clean up my our garden and get some roses...

I think this is what is called ‘having good jeans’…. 1. Being adorable and allowing big snuggles during my life__ is was a quality of mine that I am (still!) proud of. (Mama did this one.) 2.Impatience sometimes __ is a quality of mine I would like to change. A LOT. 3. Though I find __anthros who talk about themselves for hours boring,...

MY bed is so comfy! I’d better sleep fast before THEY return… Well, I like the sound of that phrase in Latin and since mama and papa are wandering around Caesar-land, I thought it would be fun to say “thank you” in Caesar-chat, haha. Who knew? But I am thankful that THEY are headed back soon, even if I have to give up MY big bed and...

My last week of run-of-the-house-with-no-interruptions! Well, a photo speaks a thousand words, non? Here are a few scenes from Rome where mama snaps some weird fun photos of the locals…kids spraying each other white on end-of-term-day at the school parking lot out our window, a pots and pans sculpture at a local museum, a sweet little place for two...

Well, here’s a doozy! (Like this weird photo…) Since some of you cannot get the Washington Post links, mama found this one that tells all about Max, a college-attending kitty with a degree in…well…you’ll see. What a guy! Wish we kitties could all wander around universities and get smarter. But wait, do we kitties get any smarter than the smarts we...
