Kitty Quote of the Month - July

Memories of Calvin

We understood each other perfectly, but
we never made any fuss about it; when I
spoke his name and snapped my fingers, he
came to me, when I returned home at
night, he was pretty sure to be waiting for
me near the gate, and would rise and
saunter along the walk, as if his being there
was purely accidental - so shy was he
commonly of showing feeling. There was
one thing he never did - he never rushed
through an open doorway.
He never forgot his dignity. If he had asked
to have the door opened; and was eager to
go out, he always went out deliberately; I
can see him now, standing on the sill,
looking about at the sky as if he was
thinking whether it was worthwhile to take
an umbrella, until he was near having
his tail shut in.

Charles Dudley Warner

Nala's World - Nothing Like The Smell of Clean Laundry!!!

This definitely makes a most comfy bed for today. As I mentioned in one of Kathy's older posts, she positively hates my hair on the clothing...oh well...she'll get over it. I just hope she doesn't decide to throw another full basket on top of me...oh my god!!!...I'll get suffocated!!!

Kathy's Journal - It's A Synchronized Kitty Pose

It's better than synchronized swimming...it's better than synchronized diving...it's called "let's do a synchronized pose for the camera"!!! I must admit I do have them trained rather well, don't you think???

Nala's World - Is It A Statue or Is It Alive???

No, this is not a picture of a cat statue under a table. ITS ME, OF COURSE!!! I do believe I would make a lovely table ornament if I were not a living, breathing feline. I guess they made this table just for us kitties to sit under.

Gizmo's World - Suppertime In Kathy's Kitchen!

I heard the dinner bell, jumped off the chair and here I am....gawking at all this delicious human food!!! I see roast beef, pasta and corn. I don't need that thing sitting there next to the food (I think Kathy calls it a fork). I'll just use my paw and dig in!! Ummmmmm Good!!

Kathy's Journal - Get The Popcorn, Have A Seat.....It's Fight Night

I was lucky to get a ringside seat for this one!!! Gizmo and Nala going at it...throwing punches...batting the paws! Fortunately, there was no hair loss. They will never learn to get along and be feline friends. Here is the summary (blow by blow by rounds):

Round 1: pretty even contest, both came out punching
Round 2: Gizmo really let Nala have a good swipe of the paw - no injury
Round 3: Nala's temper came through - she really let Gizmo have it - no injury
Round 4: both got bored and tired of the whole episode - the end!

Gizmo's World - One Handsome Stud!!!

I know all the female felines (except Nala) would love me because I am soooo handsome. Here I am in one of my best poses - just showing off my impressive black stripes. What a stud I am!!!

Nala's World - I'm Going To Be Physically Sick!!

Oh my God!!!! I feel positively feverish!!! I am so weak and don't feel like climbing down from this "soft, cushiony seat" that Gizmo told me about. I've seen him lounge on this thing a few times. I don't know what it is, but I guess the humans use it for something. I may lay here forever!!!!

Kitty Quote of the Month - June

Sheer Beauty

A cat is beautiful at a distance - near-to he is
an inexhaustible matter for wonder: the
patterning of his eyes, the elaborations
of his ears, the beautiful precision of his
nostrils, the elaborate whorls of his face fur,
the elegance of his bones, the delicacy of his
sinews, the efficiency of his paws, the separate
aliveness of his tail. His mouth is incredibly
clean, incredibly pink.
His teeth are precision made. The roof is
rippled, his tongue rasped.
Everything he does is a perfection.

Pam Brown, b. 1928

Gizmo's World - Why Can't I Come Back In???

Uh-Oh!!! Kathy won't let me back inside. I didn't do anything wrong to deserve this. Pleasssse....let me in...I am very hungry...and have to use the bathroom!!
