One Eye on the Future

Part of MomKatt's plan to draw me out of the shell I'd kinda crawled into because of Boudicca's shenanigans was to renew my love of my teaser.  Well, this was the PURRFECT strategy - 'cause I LOVE my teaser, as you will see!  We have started having play sessions every morning while MomKatt has breakfast, and sometimes for a few minutes after, and every evening after we've all eaten our gooshy fud. NOW ... before you meow anything, don't be dissin' my stubby teaser (whose name, it won't surprise you, is Stubby Teaser).  (Actually, I stole him from Morticia, so blame her for his shabby appearance.  She's rough on teasers.)  I know he's stubby and chewed on and ... well, he's been around the block SEVERAL times.  As Harrison Ford said in "Raiders", "It ain't the years, honey, it's the mileage!" But I love my teaser just as he is, even if MomKatt says a trip to Petco's going to soon be in order 'cause ...

LONGPAW ... *cues Charles Bronson playing a harmonica* My origin is a mystery, as is my past. But my future is clear.  No hooman ankle is safe from my reach, no running feline immune from being tripped while in mid-flight from the litterbox ... or to the food bowl. Young or old, rich or poor, big or small, long-haired or short-haired:  sooner or later, my paw will find you. And you will never, EVER be the same again. You can run, but you can't hide from ... LONGPAW! *whispers aside*  Was that OK?  Was I dramatic enough?  Do you think Animal Planet will consider my proposal for a feline cop show based on this premise? Maybe if I include a video of me tripping Livia ... or Peppers ...  PURRS! Selina (trying out her new nickname)

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...
