I'M FREE !!!

And I'm feeling just fine!!!
Another visit to the vet
to finally rid me of these metallic stitches
so my life can go back to normal,
at last.
This feels so good!!
I did make a scene at the vet
as the procedure was not very well explained to me,
& TICKLEBEAR got a bit upset with me,
but once we got home,
he gave me a treat anyway.
I guess I didn't do so bad...
or someone's feeling a bit guilty here?!?
If only my fur could now grow back,
nobody will be able to tell
and it'll be our little secret...
Purrrrrring!!

FREE

something to reflect my mood today.
Purrrrrring!!

EEEEWWWW!!! (& THEN SOME...)

HE licked my paw!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
EEEEEW!!!!!!!
Hissssssing!!!!!

GUESS WHO CAME FOR DINNER ?!?

Last friday,
TICKLEBEAR kept teasing me,
saying we'd have company that evening.
We did indeed,
as he returned from work accompanied by Auntie Lucrecia!!
Yeah!!!

But I should hold the power of my charms in check
as I obviously remained the whole evening long
the center of attention.
Having my own two private paparazzi,
I indulged them
as I know I am just that irresistible...

And my generosity toward them paid off,
as I earned a cuddle with TICKLEBEAR,
though I would think I'm entitled to this anyway.
This was a fine evening
and I hope Auntie Lucrecia will soon return.
Purrrrrring!!

WTF happened here?!?

Considering myself a beauty queen,
I just can't believe what I'm seeing here.
Thank you, Auntie Lucrecia,
for this beautiful picture...
I'll remember this one for a long time!!!
Hissssssing!!

INVISIBLE?!?

I'm a SUPERCAT,
with a very special power:
invisibility!!!
Now you see me,
now you don't!!

And since we're speaking of invisibility,
a little song by Alison Moyet.
Is it just me
or is it ironic
that she should be talking of invisibility?!?
Considering she's pretty hard to miss...
Love the song anyway!!
Purrrrrring!!

THERE'S NO PLACE LIKE HOME!!!

Well,
that was an adventure alright!!
When I got to the vet yesterday afternoon,
I was "welcomed" with an injection,
(talk about a welcome...),
then I was left in a small space with a grid,
not much of a view,
& my neighbors were rather noisy.
I wasn't thrilled with the accomodations,
if you want to know the truth.
I missed my home with TICKLEBEAR!!!
Later on,
the vet took me & set me on a table,
& the rest is pretty fuzzy.
But when I came around,
I just felt weird inside,
& my paws also felt strange.
OH MY GOD!!!
My claws are gone!!!
And I got some metallic threads on my belly.
What happened to me?
Should I be calling 9-1-1?
Or my lawyer?
I felt pretty lonely all night,
& the day that followed was a long one.
But come evening,
I was pleasantly surprised to see TICKLEBEAR appear,
and he seemed as delighted to see me as I was.
That's a relief
as I was afraid he might have left me.
He picked me up gently & put me in the carrier,
promising the worse was over
& we were going home.
Best news I've had in a while.
When we got home,
he served me my favorite dish,
some trout!!
It was great to find myself again on familiar grounds,
with my toys & my plushy furniture,
& someone to look over me.
There's no place like home!!!
Purrrrrring!!

SO I'M OFF!!!

There's nothing wrong with me,

I'm feeling just fine,

& yet,

TICKLEBEAR is taking me to the vet...again!!!

Didn't we just go last week?!?

I don't know what's going on,

but he's been starving me (literally)

since midnight last night.

& he also said to pack up for an overnight stay.

Is he pushing me away?!?

He's been odd lately...

I don't know what he's up to,

but I'll see this as an adventure

& just go with the flow.

I'll tell you all about it

upon my return.

Bye for now!!!

Purrrrrring!!

TWO IS COMPANY, THREE IS A CROWD...

This looks like quite a handful

but it is fortunately only a photoshop job.

clever though...

Purrrrrring!!

ODD COUPLE

A rare family portrait of TICKLEBEAR & I.
Am I not the prettier one?!?
Say "yes" or DIE!!!!!
Purrrrrring!!!

NOW, THAT'S QUITE THE ULTIMATUM!!!

WHAT'S ON THE MENU?

Hold the dressing!!

Purrrrrring!!

POSTCARD

TICKLEBEAR has received another picture of some cats unknown to me.
We've had that issue before,
but I now know these are auntie Linoue's cats...
so, I'll let it go.
It looks like they have much room to explore
as Twiggy & Goliath are allowed to go into the wild.
it's not the case here for me,
as my world ends rather abruptly
with the patio door...
Hissssssing!!

GOOD MORNING!!!

I indulged TICKLEBEAR & his camera this morning,
for some glamour shots.

Am i not the cutest thing you've ever seen?!?
Come on!!!
Admit it!!

Purrrrrr!!

A BASKET CASE?

He's driving me nuts,

& I'm pretty sure he does it on purpose,

turning me into a basket case....

Darn you, TICKLEBEAR!!!

Hisssssssing!!

KATZ & the CITY

The Cat Piano,
by the People's Republic of Animation.
A cat, a storyteller & a typewritter.
Sounds familiar?!?
A great story well produced.
Purrrrrrr!!

AN ESTHER WILLIAMS MOMENT (REDUX)

I almost forgot to mention the morning's event:

Bath No 2 !!!

Yes, yes!!

I took another leap in the bathtub this morning,

much to TICKLEBEAR's surprise...

& annoyance,

as he caught up with me with a towel

only after I had run pretty much all over the place,

including the dining room chairs...

OOPS!!!

But I feel so silky right now.

Purrrrrring!!

THE SCENT OF A MAN...

I was dozing off after catching up on my reading

of the latest issues of various magazines...

... when TICKLEBEAR showed up with the camera,
appearing in a playful mood.

Maybe I got a little too cozy with the guy,
because one whiff of his armpit sent me to sleep...
oh boy!!!
Purrrrrring!!

UNE SOURIS WHAT ?!?

You have to understand

I'm indulging someone here...

Apparently,

this evokes childhood memories for TICKLEBEAR...

The things a gal has to go through

just because we share a computer...

Still,

a cute song,

about a green mouse...

Purrrrrr!!
