Tanks A Lot

Posted by on Jan 26, 2023 | 20 comments

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...

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...

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...

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. Take a break today, whenever you can, and see a whole new world about which we knew nothing. Wish I could swim....

This is all I want to do in January! ***** FIRST OF ALL. Reverence and thanks to Martin Luther King, a hero of our time. He is still direly needed in tbis unequal world. ***** Hey, what about this idea? Aside from the galette de roi (king’s cake) that is made on Epiphany and is dee-licious, why don’t we just ban January, and be done with the...

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...

Well, today is gym day and I am starting out with getting my muscles warmed up and stretched out, “lengthened” I suppose it would be said in today’s language. I am  “lengthening” this morning for 15 minutes before “video-ing”. May I register a peeve?  Gift is not a verb. Transparent used to be for sexy over or...

  That amazing anthro was really onto something! And he LOVED HIS CATS. His passion for problem-solving extended to his pets, too. A widely shared anecdote tells how he found a typically left-field solution to a seemingly simple problem: his two cats’ constant requests to be let in and out of his study. He is said to have cut two cat shaped holes –...

Well, that Loonypics is pretty snappy with its many choices for spiffing up our photos. Once again, Miss Ellen’s suggestion was how we found it. We are feeling “dreamy” today…. And now TA DA!!!!!
