One Eye on the Future

Napoleon Bonapart e once famously declared, "A n army lives on its stomach." So with the Fren ch, so with the cats in our house.  Observe Rachel, otherwise known as "Miss Hoover 2014". Then, there is Ray, who is completely without shame.  He works M o mKatt during treat time in the morning as single-mindedl y as a bloodhound sniffing qua il. Truth is, we ALL jockey for position in the mornings, as you can see here.  I, Selina, am on the left, Ray is propp ed against the cabinet door and Rachel is just above the dish washer - still vac uuming "bits".  MOL  There is, however, one exception. Yes, Morticia.  Al ways the lady.  Always the poised.  Always the ... Wait a minute!  Are you kidding me?  She works M omKatt LIKE A BOSS !  She cries so pitifully at our AM feedings that DadKatt can hear her all the way down the hall into their bedroom and starts laughing! Do n't let that innocent look fo...

Editor ial Comment That In No Way Imping es On The "Wordless" Concept Of "Wordless Wednes day" :    Note that Selina keeps her "Cats of the CB" calendar quite near her on the kitchen counter so she can easily see which one of her blogging friends is the "daily kitty" from Pink Bed, all during 2014.  Yesterday, her sweet f rie nd, Katie Isabella , was the Calendar Girl!  Isn't she beauti ful ? Well, yes, they BOTH are beautiful, you are correct!!! 

Doo dee doo dee doo ... Oh HAI everybody !  It's me, Man Ray (but you can call me Ray ... or you can call me Jay ... or you can call me RJ ... but you doesn't hasta call me Johnson.) Do you get that refer ence ?  I don't.  MomKatt said it was funny, though.  She said some of you might get it. ANYWAY ...  Here I am this morning.  What am I doing, you might ask (aside from the obvious which is sitting on the dinin g room table)?  Well, I am waiting patiently for MomKatt to fix her breakfast.  And bring it right here - to this very spot - at the table.  'Cause you know what I do then?  I try to filch it! It's not that I d on't want MomKatt to eat - I do!  If she doesn't eat, the n she'll be come weak and feeble and won't be able to give us our gooshy f ood and other tasty snacks. Howeve r, if she doesn't want me or Rachel to attempt said food "filching", she ought not to fix foods that smell so good!  In the ...

Meowlo Pe e ps! MomKatt & I decided to wax nostal gic in our post today and look back at some memorable (well, to us, anyway) pictures of all of us Carter Clowder Kitties in 2 013 ... yeah, yeah, I'll include The Kittens (who have become known as "The Twins" or "The Terrible Twosome" already). Obviously, the "big news" at our hous e la st year was MomKatt's first fostering gig.  W hich, after about three months, turned into the classic "well-it-started -as-a-fo ster-situation-but-she's-become-attached-now -they-ain't-going -nowhere" ! Believe it ?   This was Man Ray in June: And this is Man Ray today: He's come out of his shell and is no w a loving and gentle kitty, eager to give very soft nose nudges to MomKatt's fingertips and have his chin gently scratched immediately afterward.  Ray is DEFINITELY MomKatt's boy and she finds it so h ard to believe this is the same kit ten that she had to TEAC...

Oh Hai! Yeah, I'm in the 'fridge, getting all the goodies out for New Year's Eve with the pawrents!  They're staying home (finally!) to celebrate with us kitties - and probably go to bed by ... oh ... 10:30 PM or so.  MOL.  MomKatt gets sleepy after 8:30 PM if you look at her wrong. I just wanted to wish all my blogging buddies a Happy New Year and thank you for reading my blog in 2013.  Especially I want to thank you for your support of Ray & Rachel (and they say thank you, too). I promise you ... we WILL be back in 2014.  No, really! Happy New Year to all! Purrz! Selina, MomKatt Laura, DadKatt Gary & the Carter Clowder

From all of us:  Morticia Ray and Rachel Sasha Peppers  Oliver and Boudicca We want to wish you all a very joyous 2013 holiday season and thank you for being such loyal followers of my blog. We'll be back on more in 2014.   We love you all!  Be safe! Purrz, Selina, MomKatt Laura, DadKatt Gary and the Carter Clowder

Mornin' peeps! Here I am, in a box.  Aren't I ridiculously cute and appealing? And, for tho se of you wondering how Ray and Rachel are faring, here are a couple of pictures MomKatt took yesterday while cleaning out her closet in her office.  She was taking a break and they were being "disgustingly cute" ...  and gettin' their Sunday easy on pretty well, actually.  And from the front (Ray is on the left, Rachel is on the right sitting up): I tell ya, in reference to how you never see one of those kittens without the other somewhere in close proximity, DadKatt said this morning, "They are their own 'pack'!"  MomKatt laughed, but he is right.  They always travel together and they are the only two, aside from Peppers and Morticia (sometimes), who sleep together in the same bed. Hope everyone had a great weekend.  Won't be long now before Mom&DadKatt's Xmas "stay -cation" starts (5: 00 PM on Fri., Dec. 20 until ...
