Me-ow-my-oh!

Me-usings and Me-emories

19 February 2015 - I haven't turned blue...yet, but I do not care at all for the next twenty-four hours' forecast.  I have said it before, but the truth can't be overstated:  I am a Florida cat.  We enjoy lolling in 95+ degree weather, but Santa and his reindeer can keep this arctic stuff.  I can tell my peeps are of a like mind:  their fingers and their noggins are the only things exposed to this abominable weather.  And speaking of, I truly hope, with paws crossed, that this is the closest I will ever get to a snowman.

18 February 2015 - If I wasn't supposed to investigate, then the peep should not have left the bag, open and inviting, on the bed.  You would have done the same thing, so no finger-wagging.  My nose automatically picks up alien smells, and my experience tells me that different could mean trouble. I would not forgive myself if I ignored my instincts and the thing actually turned out to be dangerous.  So without thought to my own safety, I checked the contents...this time we are safe.

17 February 2015 - Without a remote control, I have to change windows to get different channels on CAT TV.  Here is my version of Kit at Nite, where reception depends upon having good low-light perception.  Occasionally the peeps stumble over me in the dark, so I am guessing that they simply can't see well under those dimly-lit conditions.  But I can, and the cast of characters that parade past my screen is varied and entertaining.  So each evening,  just before the shorter peep turns in, I find myself checking out the show.  Sometimes it is a hoot...literally.

16 February 2015 - Today one of my peep's peeps posted the twelve signs of cat ownership...which is not implying that we are mere possessions but rather the possessors.  One of the items stated that "any window is now CAT TV".  I do enjoy my big-screen television, especially in the spring when all the nitwit beeps fight their reflections.  This time of year my perch is also a good deal warmer than outdoors.  However if it truly were CAT TV, shouldn't it come with a remote control?  There are times when I really would like to change the channel.

15 February 2015 - Cats and chocolate are a bad combination, so I was not expecting a heart-shaped box of candy.  However I had hoped for some small token of appreciation, but the day began and ended like so many others <sigh>.  Fortunately my self-worth is not predicated upon peep admiration.  My ancestors came down out of the trees long before theirs did.  I am still king of all that I survey...even so it is lonely at the top.

13 February 2015 - Cats are natural hunters, and even a house-bound life doesn't change our predisposition to stalk, to pounce, to slay.  Nothing focuses our attention and dilates our pupils like a quiver of movement.  It doesn't matter if the cause is a mole excavating its tunnel or a peep hand darting beneath the covers, we are engaged, claws ready to rake and reveal.  When we are in the heat of battle, we are blood-thirsty, so be forewarned.  Don't attempt a head pat or a belly rub until the wildness passes.

12 February 2015 - Who doesn't among us have some issues with body image?  If one ignores, for the moment, the curved tail, I can admit a passing resemblance in this picture to an eggplant.  But I would make a lousy parmigiana dish.  Besides it is discourteous to sneak up on a body, although from the slant of my ears I am aware of the peep's presence.  No, I prefer a frontal approach, so that the assailant can be watched and so that I can put my best foot forward.
