Yes And No

Too pooped to paw… Well, our spark for today is another take on the feeling that you have to say yes to everything and be positive and do, do, do, until you drop. It’s okay to say no.  You are not a bad person for telling the truth. Mama was asked to talk to a food group about cooking and baking in particular and how she and papa started the...

  Well, that word (fix) is not a favorite around here but once the event is over, our feral kitties will be very happy indeed. As was I. The mairie has sent out a notice that our village ferals will be sterilized and put back, when they have recovered, into their outdoor places in our little village. Some have a little house and food is always left...

Just saying hello and tinkering around actually with an appropriate name for our Tuesday blog, haha. Maybe I should name my Tuesday thoughts Tuesday Triumphs and only write about the amazing ability of kitties to be part of history. Such as in this story of Persian cat warriors… Well, I’m not at all sure that those kitties were actually 100%...

Buttering Up

Posted by on Nov 20, 2023 | 22 comments

(Hmm…planning a nap takes considerable thought…) Well, papa’s mama taught him that when you butter the edges and corners of a piece of toast, the middle will take care of itself, and around here, we love thinking about that as it applies to many other parts of life, too. Maybe taking care of the essentials, the most diffiucult part of a...

I’m waving sleepily at mama after having just be AWAKENED by an iPhone-camera-crazed-weasel who insisted on snapping pics during my beauty sleep! Enough said.

Trust

  Well, today’s spark has to do with trust. Benjamin Spock said that you must trust yourself because you know more than you think you do.
