SATURDAY ... LOTS OF EVERYTHINGS

Today is International Selfie Day.  

Mine Mommy told me to pose pretty.  So I did ~ I think I did.

But I had to ask her, "how is it a selfie if you're taking the picture?"

As often happens, she just kind of mumbled an answer which I didn't understand,

so that's that.  I think she does that intentionally when there is no logical answer.

Meow, hu-moms!

Then she spent some time "playing" with my picture doing what she

calls her art stuff, so we could use it for ~

She told me she played so much with the art that she

forgot how she did it, with all due respect to Athena and Miss Marie at

CATURDAY ART

And then I told her

I'm not a "critter", I'm a cat, with all due respect to Miss Eileen at

SATURDAY'S CRITTERS

And then we argued some more about what a selfie is ... after

all this nonsense, it was settled with my getting a few treats and

both of us taking an afternoon nap, especially cause it is way

too hot to go out and do anything and the hots are like everywhere

so let's just not even talk about the hots ...

 

SUMMER SOLSTICE

 

A BOX IS NOT "JUST A BOX" ~

~ if it's got a cat in it 

~ and if it's got a cat in it with lots of crunchied-up paper in it, too!

 

IT'S GETTING HARDER AND ~

 ~ and harder to stay awake ~

Early morning, Tuesday.  

Time to do June's blog post ...
I sit on one side of our small table.  

Sometimes used for meals.
Most often used for working on the laptop.

I hear movement, look around, look down.
June sits.  Opposite me.

Under the other chair.

EVERY DAY IS A NEW DAY

Every day we awake to a new day. 

Today we will place paws together that for many,
so many who are facing much,

this day will be a better day, a good day.

Please place your paws together for our friends,

The J-Cats, Purr-sonally Speaking.

You can visit them here, to share your support.

 

CATechisms

 CATechisms by John Delaney

In the author's own words ~ "ostensibly about a specific cat, this book has higher hopes - that all cat lovers, and pet owners, will find here some of their own love for these remarkable beings that inherit our homes and hearts."

Many books tell us stories of cats, share their photos, art, with humor or share the writers own relationship of the unique bond between man and animal.

John Delaney's CATechisms, a collection of his poems accompanied by the images that inspired them, will become a must-read for all pet persons.  He assured us that Ramen has given his paw of approval.
