Kitty is my able and loyal assitant here in the IT department of Kittyland, but when the work (?) is all done, and if the sun is warm, it's time for a little  snooze...

          Kitty, the blog animal         March 15, 2008

I am going to guess that Kitty would rather stay home and dream about it, but if she were a dog I'm sure we would be spending this weekend having a good romp on our beloved  Mount Tamalpais...

          Kitty, the blog animal         March 14, 2008

Yes folks, that's Kitty, and on the left is her  fiddle...
Her favorite tune? -- Oh, Get Me Some Food...

          Kitty, the blog animal         March 13, 2008

This morning I didn't have any new photos of Kitty, so I went looking through the files for something interesting...   I found this old shot of her wearing her colorful  eyeglasses...   But then I couldn't think of anything half-witty or cute to write about her...   And now it's four hours later and I still can't think of anything to write, so folks, I'm afraid I'm going to have to just leave it at this...

          Kitty, the blog animal         March 12, 2008

Yes Kitty, that  fast water  does kind of look like cat fur, now doesn't it...

          Kitty, the blog animal         March 11, 2008

In Kitty's world, a  sunrise,  is just as good as a sunset...   Both make a great excuse to go take a colorful nap...

          Kitty, the blog animal         March 10, 2008

If Kitty were made of metal she could get  rusty,  and if she were made of wood she could get dry-rot -- or God forbid -- even termites...   But fortunately Kitty is made of that indestructable material called love...

          Kitty, the blog animal         March 9, 2008

There is the outside world, and then there is Kittyland -- where just a casual glance is confirmation that our  love transcends all...

          Kitty, the blog animal         March 8, 2008

Kitty is familiar with the vast forests of tall weeds we have around here at Kittyland, but I'm pretty sure she has never seen a real  forest  with weeds quite this tall...

          Kitty, the blog animal         March 7, 2008

When I got home from my nature hike yesterday I showed Kitty how creatures that live in-the-wild have to round-up their own  lunch...

          Kitty, the blog animal         March 6, 2008

Some day I'm going to have to take Kitty along with me on one of my nature  walks...   I could show her ferns with multitudes of "ears"...

          Kitty, the blog animal         March 5, 2008

Kitty got her vacation photos back from the drug-store, and most of them aren't half bad...   But LORD, spare me from a grueling slide-show -- I might have to arrange it so there's just  nobody home...

          Kitty, the blog animal         March 4, 2008

Now, I'm pretty sure they don't make hot-dog  mustard  out of the yellow mustard that grows around here this time of year, but if the Food Channel ever needs an eyewitness report, Kitty is ready and standing by...

          Kitty, the blog animal         March 3, 2008

Kitty is rather shy and sometimes likes to stay in the  in the shadows,  but there is no way darkness can obscure our love...

          Kitty, the blog animal         March 2, 2008

The  rays of the sun  are as warm and illuminating as Kitty's love...

          Kitty, the blog animal         March 1, 2008

Kitty has been thinking about it, and with all due respect to  Rodin's The Thinker,  I think she has decided to just stay home and mull it over...

          Kitty, the blog animal         February 29, 2008

Kitty sent me a  postcard...   I think she was trying to tell me that she misses her corn...

          Kitty, the blog animal         February 28, 2008

Honestly, I have never seen anyone have so much trouble with  arrows... I suppose it's because of her cavalier attitude about the abstract concept of following direction...

          Kitty, the blog animal         February 27, 2008

No Kitty, don't bother trying to book a flight...   There is just no way the T.S.A. is going to let you board a  jet airplane  with such sharp claws...

          Kitty, the blog animal         February 26, 2008

If I knew Kitty was actually going anyplace, I would have given her a crash-course about  arrows...

          Kitty, the blog animal         February 25, 2008

I've been wondering where she came up with a stamp, but Kitty sent me a pretty  postcard  all the way from the Golden Gate Bridge...

          Kitty, the blog animal         February 24, 2008

I was under the impression that Kitty was going to make her journey on her own four feet -- I had no idea she was going to take the car...   I suppose I should have told her what  red lights  are all about...

          Kitty, the blog animal         February 23, 2008

Well, I'm not sure if Kitty knows the difference between "fur" and "far", but if I get a postcard from  Mexico  I'll know she made it all that way...

          Kitty, the blog animal         February 22, 2008

It's just a game we play, but Kitty will beleive anything I tell her...   No Kitty, we don't actually put  mustard  on REAL dogs...

          Kitty, the blog animal         February 21, 2008

Well folks, I pulled this photo up out of the archives and thought for sure I would be able to come up with something to say about it -- but I seem to be stuck...   Perhaps I should give Kitty a pencil and pad of paper and ask her for help...

          Kitty, the blog animal         February 20, 2008

Well, I finally gave Kitty permission to submit her application in the search for America's next  top model...   I'm pretty sure Kitty can teach Tyra and Janice some brand-new moves...

          Kitty, the blog animal         February 19, 2008

We don't like a lot of extraneous noise around here at Kittyland, so I'm glad Kitty keeps things quiet by communicating with  semaphore flags  instead of regular old noisey morse code... . ...

          Kitty, the blog animal         February 18, 2008

And as we all know,  fur  is a long way away...

          Kitty, the blog animal         February 17, 2008

As some of you folks know, I am a card carrying hermit...   Somehow Kitty got a card too -- it's nice having her  around 

          Kitty, the blog animal         February 16, 2008

Yes Kitty, it's a well ventilated space, and I suppose bigger is better -- but I think that  cat door  might be just a little bit too large...

          Kitty, the blog animal         February 15, 2008

Kitty leads a fairly sheltered life, so I suppose that most everything she doesn't understand is nothing more than  turbulence...

          Kitty, the blog animal         February 14, 2008

Sorry ladies, there is only one  heart  in my life, and her name is Kitty...

          Kitty, the blog animal         February 13, 2008

As Kitty would probably tell you, there is both a powerful science and a skillful art behind a world filled with  curves...

          Kitty, the blog animal         February 12, 2008

Judging from the  color of her eyes,  Kitty is a lover of sunsets, just like everybody else...

          Kitty, the blog animal         February 11, 2008

Occasionally, but not a lot, Kitty is totally  awake and alert...

          Kitty, the blog animal         February 10, 2008

Well, it was a very  pretty sunset,  but when I got home Kitty showed me some very pretty colors of her own...

          Kitty, the blog animal         February 9, 2008

Well, the competition was stiff, but the  beauty contest  has been held and the results are in -- Kitty wins by a whisker...

          Kitty, the blog animal         February 8, 2008

Well, it's white and not red, green, or yellow -- so I'm kind of lost as what action to take...   Believe it or not, Kitty has recently started emitting a pulsating  spot of light...

          Kitty, the blog animal         February 7, 2008

Dear Kitty,

Until Tica's recent Kitty Blog Fame, she had been earning her keep quite nicely here.

She offered invaluable advice on cookery, washing-up, Hoovering, laundry, shopping... even fashion. (It's all about spots, apparently.)

But, her speciality was bed-changing. I doubt I will ever again see a cat take such an enthusiastic attitude to a task, as Tica did to bed-changing.

However, Tica is living proof that fame changes everything - and rarely for the better.

Now that she's a supermodel, this little Madam has raided my stash of (very classy) tiaras and nail varnish.

These days, she's good for nothing other than purring, posing, reclining... It's a veritable burlesque fest!

Try as I might, I cannot convince her that there's only enough room for one princess around here.

Have a heart and wish me luck with my delectable delinquent...

And by the way, everyone is cordially invited to e-mail me if you've got a story and/or a photo of your cat...   I think Kitty is agreeable to sharing the spotlight...

          Kitty, the blog animal         February 6, 2008

Kitty doesn't pay too much attention to politics, but she usually keeps  one ear raised  just in case...

          Kitty, the blog animal         February 5, 2008

Kitty seems to have the act of just  being  pretty well figured out...

          Kitty, the blog animal         February 4, 2008

I'm not exactly sure which Kitty prefers -- getting sideways or getting horizontal...   But there is little doubt that her favorite chair here at Kittyland is my lap...

          Kitty, the blog animal         February 3, 2008

I never quite know who to call when Kitty's normally placid  pattern  goes all whacky-whonky...   Fiddling with her knobs never seems to fix the problem...   The cable company is of no help whatsoever...

          Kitty, the blog animal         February 2, 2008

Sport's Fever is the diagnosis, and Kitty has been busy getting ready for the big game on Sunday...   Somehow I'm going to have to find a way to explain to her that it is no longer  baseball season...

          Kitty, the blog animal         February 1, 2008

Dont know why theres no sun up in the sky
Stormy weather
Since my man and I aint together,
Keeps rainin all the time

Life is bare, gloom and misry everywhere
Stormy weather
Just cant get my poorself together,
Im weary all the time
So weary all the time
When he went away the blues walked in and met me.
If he stays away old rockin chair will get me.

All I do is pray the lord above will let me walk in the sun once more.
Cant go on, evry thing I had is gone
Stormy weather

Since my man and I aint together,
Keeps rainin all the time.

Kitty might whisk she was the cat on the  Whiskas bag,  but she may need some additional training about whisk end of the bag is up...

          Kitty, the blog animal         January 30, 2008

We've been going buggy...   The persistent rain is keeping us indoors and cabin-fever has started to set in...

          Kitty, the blog animal         January 29, 2008

It definitely another language, but recently I've been looking deeply into Kitty's eyes, and I seem to be picking up some sort of  colorful signal...

          Kitty, the blog animal         January 28, 2008

My better judgement tells me that I'm better off following the official county roadsigns, and not those  triangular shaped arrows  on the top of Kitty's pointy little head...

          Kitty, the blog animal         January 27, 2008

Thanks goes to  Tica's Mom  for sending in another great shot.

-----------------------------------------------

Dear Kitty,

Exciting breaking news from England:

A full moon, an open window, a naughty cat and a hidden camera has inevitably lead to yet more revelations...

Tica Jumped Over the Moon!

I can't sat exactly how she got up so high...   It appears those splendid ears have a greater purpose - other than just listening to stuff.

Best regards,

Helen in England!

PS

Thanks very much for Tica's current fame: She's been prowling around in a tiara for most of the day. 

I fear the fame might have gone to her head, but we will deal with it...

          Kitty, the blog animal         January 26, 2008

Our little four-footed forecaster has been known to issue some rather creative  weather reports...   Silence, combined with a cold-stare means bad weather is already here...

          Kitty, the blog animal         January 25, 2008

When it rains  Kitty and I lay around and read the funny pages together...

          Kitty, the blog animal         January 24, 2008

Helen from England sent this photo of her stunningly beautiful Bengal by the name of Tica...   Now, non-cat lovers just wouldn't understand -- but yes, just like Kitty,  Tica can fly...
-----------------------------------
Here is a picture of my cat, Tica.

I had long-suspected that she can fly, so I installed a hidden camera...

It is astonishing what this little hooligan gets up to, while I'm at the shops.

Most people think the worst their cats get up to in secret is walking on the dining table, singing, "We're on the table! We're on the table!"

Tica and I know otherwise.

Anyway, It's going to be a full moon here tonight... Very enticing to a naughty cat - especially when the window's "accidentally" been left ajar.

The secret camera is fired up and ready to go. Watch this space...

          Kitty, the blog animal         January 23, 2008

Kitty and I live on the west coast, and while winter is probably much more severe where you and your cat live,  cabin fever  has definitely arrived at Kittyland...  Keeping Kitty entertained is no easy task...   Kitty cheats at cards, and is notorious for making up her own rules to board games...

          Kitty, the blog animal         January 22, 2008

And while  sunlight  is currently a rare commodity around here at Kittyland, Kitty has the amazing ability to retain her warmth -- which is something I'm pretty certain the Energizer Bunny isn't able to do...

          Kitty, the blog animal         January 21, 2008

Kitty absolutely hates it when I do, but I love to pull  Kitty's ears...

          Kitty, the blog animal         January 20, 2008

Yes, this is Kitty,  my little friend...   And right now, as usual, she is fast-asleep on my lap -- making typing as difficult as possible...

          Kitty, the blog animal         January 19, 2008

As you can see here,  taking a picture  of Kitty can be problematic...   Kitty likes to be near -- and if she can't be sitting on my lap, standing at my feet seems to be the next best thing...   Oh well, I'll keep trying...

          Kitty, the blog animal         January 18, 2008

Yes, Kitty's primary responsibility is to be my little lover, but sometimes I have to share the attention -- Kitty is also an avid  lover of nature...

          Kitty, the blog animal         January 17, 2008

Occasionally we will get a  pesky fly  at Kittyland,  and although Kitty doesn't really like flies -- what she really dislikes is me swatting at them... Kitty doesn't care for violence -- she wants nothing to do with it...

          Kitty, the blog animal         January 16, 2008

My favorite cat?  Well, it's Kitty, of course...  And I suppose I'm Kitty's favorite human being as well -- it's great how these things work...

          Kitty, the blog animal         January 15, 2008

When I get home from my little adventures, Kitty will occasionally give my shoes a sniff...   If I could, I would bring her  sunshine  in my pocket...

          Kitty, the blog animal         January 14, 2008

No, Kitty never gets to go anywhere...   Not even to pretty places like Point Lobos  -- where I went yesterday...
I told her all about the splashy adventure when I got home...

          Kitty, the blog animal         January 13, 2008

Spring is a long, long way off...
But Kitty and I are both dreaming of  wildflowers...

          Kitty, the blog animal         January 12, 2008

It's kind of a stretch, but maybe there is some  family resemblance...

          Kitty, the blog animal         January 11, 2008

Kitty has placed her order for a  dry and sunny day...   We'll see what happens...

          Kitty, the blog animal         January 10, 2008

It's been so dark and gloomy at Kittyland recently that we pulled out the scrapbook yesterday to see if we could find any  memories of sunlight...

          Kitty, the blog animal         January 9, 2008

It's kind of difficult to see stars through clouds, so I had to reconstruct and illustrate the  Constellation of Kitty  pretty much from memory...

          Kitty, the blog animal         January 8, 2008

Well, it could be Kitty and clover, or it could be clover and Kitty...
It sort of all depends on the  focus...

          Kitty, the blog animal         January 7, 2008

Seriously, sometimes I don't know which is stranger -- cats, or their owners...   Karen, owner of two Marmalades, sent me these photos showing what her cats are up to these days...   Osamacat  [ left ]  is still on the trail of Bin Laden, and Red  [ right ]  wears that tin-foil hat to keep aliens from abducting him...

And by the way, everybody is cordially invited to e-mail me if you've got a story and/or a photo of your cat...   I think Kitty is agreeable to sharing the spotlight...

          Kitty, the blog animal         January 6, 2008

Well, it might be the 6th of January, but Kitty is still full of  razzle dazzle...

          Kitty, the blog animal         January 5, 2008

Kitty came home  chromed  yesterday, without much of an explanation... Hair has been serving cats well for eons so I just don't know why she has to keep up with each new fad...   Oh well, maybe next week she might be into rust...   Never a dull moment around here at Kittyland...

          Kitty, the blog animal         January 4, 2008

Kitty knows just about everything there is to know about  getting horizontal,  but I'm not sure if she would be able to identify this strange creature or not...

          Kitty, the blog animal         January 3, 2008

If sleeping or taking naps had anything to do with thinking, Kitty would have  The Thinker  beat by a mile...

          Kitty, the blog animal         January 2, 2008

Shadow's dad, Larry Mennetti, sent this great photo of Shadow  enjoying some freshly fallen snow...   Well, Larry, I hope Shadow eventually found his way inside and got warmed up...

Of course we don't have snow, but it's been cold here in California and Kitty has been spending a lot of time in front of our heater...   I can imagine that if Kitty went skiing she would be like one of those cats who finds a warm place in the lodge and never actually hits the slopes...

And by the way, everybody is cordially invited to e-mail me if you've got a story and/or a photo of your cat...   I think Kitty is agreeable to sharing the spotlight...

          Kitty, the blog animal         Happy New Year, 2008

It doesn't really take a lot to please Kitty -- she seems to be able to find spectacular entertainment  in all the remote corners of her little world...
