We tried to do a Halloween card one year in which we dressed all the cats up in costumes. This was the year Panda Bear was a clown.






























Panda Bear even made friends with the very shy, skittish, and semi-feral Samoa, who we lost back in 2015.

Mom has this really annoying thing that she does. She walks around the house looking for one of us Furry Bambinos, while calling out “Who wants a hug?”
That’s our cue to vamos, hide, and make ourselves scarce.
If she finds one of us, she grabs us, picks us up, and given a human style hug. Blech!
Mom, we are cats. We do not want to be hugged. Petted, scritched, told how beyootifull we are, YES. Hugged, NO! You are destroying my image as a Big Man Cat!
If you do it again, I am calling the ASPCA.

I feel sorry for Meerkat and Padre!
As you regular readers know, I only has one eye. I had an infection as a young kitty and they removed my right eye. It’s okay, though. It was just an extra one as far as I can tell.
I can jump to high places. I can catch and deadify mousies in the dark.
I can get into “things I’m not supposed to”.
I can play Thundering Herd of Elephants with Meerkat and Padre.
I can chase and catch birdies on a string.
I can be a pirate! I’m fast and agile and nothing stops me from exploring!
And I can catch moths with my paws!
Poor Meerkat and Padre need two eyes to do all that! How untalented of them. Guess that’s why I’m so special!
Gramma sent me a really great cartoon recently. It’s from a comix called “Mutts”. Maybe you have it in your newspaper. If not, you can go to their website and see the comix. Daddy says something about “copy rite infrringment” if we post it here. So, go read the Mutt’s cartoon.
Hooray for one-eyed kitties like me! We’re super great and don’t have any extra parts!
We were tagged by Bear and Shadow, and are hard at work on our “7 Useful Things” Meme. We will post it this weekend!

there he is just sitting on missus human’s lap and purring like his life depended on it. and the way he took to the presents she brought! i for one am not as easily bought. here’s my idea of a cool cat toy:
between my brother and big grey cat, i don’t know who is the worse lackey. they follow missus human around from room to room and then (gasp!) sit in her lap. have they no pride? they worship mister human in the same manner.
big grey cat meets the humans every time they come in through the front door. in fact, now that i remember it, when the missus human opened the door to our dorm room at the boarding school, my brother immediately jumped into missus human’s arms and turned on the purr-motor. i guess i should have seen this coming.
you won’t catch me fawning all over the humans like my brother and big grey cat. i will continue to resist the humans’ attempts to turn me into a groveling, kowtowing lap cat. i am kitten, hear me roar!
