(WHAT’S GOIN’ ON HERE, COMPUTER GODS? I’M TRYING TO WRITE MY BLOG!)

Here I am, trying to write my blog, and my little kitty paws are doing perfectly fine, dancing trippingly over the keys and blammo—no internet—-no AOL—-the TV going wacko and turning into snow and who the heck knows why?? Papa says it’s the modem and doesn’t have a clue what’s happening.

Has this ever happened to YOU? Chances are it has, if I know my kitties.

You’re minding your own business, watching a great soccer game or Game of Thrones or Homeland or a hilarious BBC comedy show and—blackout. Just like that.

Papa says, “Oh, the circuits are overloaded, its’ the weekend” or “Damn, the modem has taken a bad turn”, whatever a modem is. I think it’s that little box that shows green lights all the time—the ones I watch when I’m really, really bored with watching the oily, moving designs plus music on Rai radio TV that these anthros put on for me to feel secure when they leave me alone!

Do I care about being abandoned some days with no one to play with me in the garden and that friggin’ music going over and over when what I want is the orchestra of St. Martin in the Fields or La Traviata but they have forgotten and left on that simpy new age stuff that sends me right upstairs to my noiseless lair under the bed.

Mama always says, “We are at the mercy of our technology!” or “Our lives are spent catering to non-functioning gadgets!” And then, of course, she realizes that I, Loulou, could not write my blog without a catputer and  that the world would not know my innermost thoughts and feelings daily and then where would we be?

Relaxing in a hot tub, that’s where!!! Or on a couch, having just rolled in catnip and  dreaming of pencils and paper…
