One Eye on the Future

HELLO PEEPS! Today is Friday the 13th, a particularly special day for us black kitties.  I think that anyone fortunate enough to be owned by at least one Black Beauty (see?  the luck starts right here), let alone five of us (as my Mom&DadKatt are - and that counts my late sisfur, Torrie, who was also an adoption), is obligated to sing our praises on at least two days out of the year:  Halloween and any Friday the 13th that pops up (so you may actually have MORE than two days but ... you get my drift). It's high time all the silliness about us Black Beauties being unlucky stops.  Also, the witch association thing.  I mean - c'mon, peeps, it's the 21st century!  I cannot believe some people ACTUALLY still subscribe to all this nonsense which emerged from a period when most hoomans were poor, ignorant and pretty frightened of anything that smacked of "different".  (And out of respect for my readers' differing beliefs, I won't EVEN get into the me...

Meowlo, peeps! Today's entry is all about "stuff" - or rather, "stuff" about me.  Or just oddball things - this 'n that, deese 'n doze ... (mostly oddball, but I'm in there somewhere.) Fur instance ... voila, my Catster page: http://www.catster.com/cats/1184609 Or how 'bout something you don't wanna see at 3 AM? (Now, I don't know, purr-sonally, why you would NOT want to see all those kitties at 3 AM.  Maybe you wouldn't want to see them all standing on your chest at 3 AM, demanding to be fed while you're trying to sleep.  MOL)  But I thought it was amusing. Here's some more: One of MomKatt's favorite LOLCats: The Black Death:   MomKatt's favorite comic strip involving a boy & his stuffed tiger: MomKatt's favorite comic strip involving cats called "Two Lumps"):  MY favorite LOLCat:  Another favorite "Two Lumps" strip: Bored yet?  No?  Good.  Her...

Friends, Romans, fellow kitty bloggers!   I feared that I had plateaued. Recently, I discovered that, as a meaningful sparring partner, poor Pink Bed had rather lost his charms for me.  I still lay in him, on him, across him, daily asserting my dominance over his carnation-hued fuzziness and all that ... but, as far as any type of meaningful challenge to my fighting prowess, I was rapidly finding him to be SERIOUSLY lacking.  I mean, it's like Rocky Balboa taking on ... oh, I don't know ... a three-year old little girl, or a piece of wet spaghetti ...  No, to constantly improve her training, a girl must continue to challenge herself.  MomKatt's running & working out have taught me that since I've been here and, like her, I've discovered I'm really not happy when I've bested something only to discover that there seems to be nothing on the horizon more challenging to move up to. Until recently ...  Last night, I took on Feisal's old bed...

MomKatt & I are trying to learn how to do more things with this blog of mine, so we thought we'd use a YouTube link to a cool video of my gorgeous kitty pal, Sparkle, struttin' her stuff on the (very narrow!) catwalk! Sparkle , girl, you ROCK!  I hope this works! PURRS! Selina

First ... a little nomming ...  (MomKatt calls this our "hooman flesh" playtime): Then, I watched a little TV ("Foyle's War" on streaming Netflix) ... After all that, I prepped to take a nice, long Lap Nap while MomKatt read: All in all, a totally nonproductive Sunday well spent by ME! Oh! here's the "after" photo of the "hooman flesh" part of the afternoon ... Clearly, MomKatt was DELISH! Hummm ... today is DadKatt's last "stay-cation" day at home ... wonder if he tastes as good as MomKatt does?  I might just have to investigate that after he eats his lunch then falls asleep for his afternoon kip on the sofa!  (He never intends to fall asleep - or at least, what's what he claims.)  He is particularly vulnerable at these times, I have discovered. Hope everyone else had just as good a Sunday as I did! PURRS! Selina

Meowlo, peeps! Fur-st, I hope everyone had a good 4th holiday. My nutty 'rents actually went to a BASEBALL game last night - yes, OUTSIDE!  IN THE HEAT!  MomKatt said the flags at the park weren't even stirring.  They left right after the game, not even staying for the fireworks.  It was just awful, she said.  And for HER to say that, it must've been pretty bad!  But they had fun anyway, and my Aunt MaryLee came over & I met her for the first time!  I was a little shy - I let her pet me for a little bit, then I hid behind the sofa in the living room.  MOL  (I'm not playing hard to get, I AM hard to get!  MOL)  She thought I was very pretty - she met 'Ticia and Peppers, too.  (She spent the day with the 'rents.  I think beer was involved later on in the afternoon.  MOL) AND ... as of Tuesday evening, OUR AC IS WORKING!  Can you believe - that one part, the "motor blower", cost nearly $1,300!!  Not o...
