Mother-Hum

You call this purring.  But we call it mother-hum.  It is for calming, when our mothers sing it to us, and it is for calming when we sing it to ourselves.  
I know you can’t purr, you aren’t built right.   But as things get busier and you find yourself chasing the tail of the year, if you [...]

You Know What’s Nice?

Breakfast.  Particularly with meat.  But not if you have to jump up on the counter to get it.

A Very Lazy Post…

…but you knew it was bound to happen sometimes.  Think of it as a “So You Want To Be A Cat” class lab.    Enjoy!

In Which I Stalk Sun

It has moved from the floor.  That would not be so bad, but it has moved from my favorite window, too–the one with the wide wide sill that’s good for sleeping.

A Thing Worth Noting

Today it is cold.  Wet, also.  Out both doors!

 You know, I think I already knew that, somewhere in [...]

A Small Ponder

I saw a cat on a car today.  It was quite cold, and the cat’s back was humped high and round.  It struck me, passing by, that it looked like a very large snail.
 I’m not sure I can look at snails quite the same way anymore.

We Are Not Ungrateful

I am thankful for my mate, and my young ones, and all the members of my pride.  (Big Bad Kitty says I should call it that, even though there is a different name, clowder,  for we small fur people.)  I am thankful to be a Clawed One.  I am thankful for my bed, and my special [...]

I Am Very Excited About Tomorrow

I understand that a large bird will be cooked.  I am hoping it is one of the mockingbirds from the backyard.  I would prefer it raw–but cooked is nice too.
