Visiting Rights (some years ago…)

What’s a guest?                 Oh, THIS guest! Well, you know I’m a pretty singular sort of kitty and certainly not used to doggies at all, although they do intrigue me.  It’s just that I think I should have read some advice columns on how to be a good hostess to other creatures.  Like this...

                  Uh, I think this speaks for itself.  It’s my “comfort zone”, haha. Mama didn’t want to wake me to do my blog. Hey, a day off every now and then is IMPORTANT to a hard-working kitty, right? A demain…😻...

Light In The Piaz-io

Posted by on Dec 13, 2021 | 24 comments

  I’m just about to head under the bed…just practicing my snooze. Well, not exactly a piazza, but a patio!  Mama strung some fairy lights the other night and surprised us, inspired by Christiane, our neighbor up the street who decorated a whole tree on the rue with ornaments and lights. In our little town there are small trees 🌲 dotting the landscape...

NO, NO, mama, do NOT show me a calendar. Please! I can’t look! I have not done ANYTHING for Christmas and I mean that seriously, I have done ZILCH! No shopping. No wrapping. No ribboning, whatever that is. NO CALENDARS, please! (Mama keeps flashing that calendar at me…) Maybe this’ll work.   CATURDAY ART – A FRIEND’S KITTY...

Sofa So Good

It’s a clear fact: I love my little private-couch-which-I-have-taken-over-as-my-OWN. It is a world unto itself… Morning core exercises…I moved too fast for mama to focus. Typical. Full pike sleep position. Practicing for Snooze Olympics. You see now why this is my very own personal perch? Whose foot is that anyway? Whoever that is had...

Home Alone or Gullible’s Travels

Posted by on Dec 8, 2021 | 24 comments

Well, actually, I am NOT home alone but it rhymed.  And I was “persuaded” to take previou trips with mama and papa because of my gullible nature. I am SOOOO glad NOT BEING OUT THERE ON THE COLD WINTER MEDITERRANEAN  SEA LOOKING OUT OF A PORTHOLE!!  Which did happen in the distant past, once or twice. No way, Jose. Gone are the days. THANK...

Plum Good

Posted by on Dec 7, 2021 | 18 comments

Uh, oh, did I remember the plums? Well, probably no one will make these, but mama makes them every year and soaks each one in a bit of brandy and gives them away to friends during the holidays. A sort of old-timey English touch. It’s not the Dickens to make one. You’ll see… And they keep in the freezer for another year. YAY. Mama makes...

  Well, you know, they may not be from F.A.O. Schwartz, but they’re mine. Sometimes you just have to take a break from toyland…maybe skip our house, Santa… By the way, I tried to respond to My Kentucky Cats and cannot. There seems to be no site, even though we get a gmail notice. Strange....

A Long Goodbye

A Long Goodbye

Posted by on Dec 5, 2021 | 30 comments

Well, I wanted to tell you about mama’s mama.  She died, as you know, during holidays, and mama grieved for almost a year. Papa was getting a little worried as mama worked through this sad event, but there is a happy ending. One night mama had a dream. There was a (red-old-timey) phone booth, remember them? And the phone was ringing and mama went to...

With apologies to Mr. Bergman, I wish to share with you my feelings toward this cold and clammy winter!     Hey, this may be a stretch, but who wouldn’t do a raspberry in a TRAVEL BOX (don’t worry, we’re staying put). And both Ingmar and I certainly have the right to our artistic license with respect to berries! And of course,...

HAIL, SANTA!  Got any mail from France lately? Well, we are trying to find the name of the film…ah, ha found it: 1. My favorite holiday film is _It’s A Wonderful Life with Jimmy Stewart, but not everyone’s cup of tea… 2. My favorite Christmas song is  Oh, Come, Oh, Come Emmanuel and mama loves it, too for its minor chords. But Good...

  Well, I was having this staring competition with mama, when out of the blue, mama started singing softly to me in a lyrical voice, whatever that is. (You, too, can sing along to Braham’s sweet tune…): “Lullaby, and good night, time for kitties to slumber, and I just want to say, you can rest on my duvet! Close your eyes, dream a little, and I’ll...

Bird bonked…but it sure was good! 1. I find it easy to choose a gift for _anyone, it’s such fun! 2. I find it difficult to choose a gift for _okay, okay, papa, he never wants or needs anything except snuggling so I guess I can wrap that up!_ 3. Now that I’ve _lost a few grams_, I can _chow down on whatever strange bird leftovers are in...
