Newsletter August 2022: From the Cat's Den - As She Likes It - What I Do in Covid TIMES

 Well Hello My Feline Fans and Family:


Fireside chat with my favourite human!

I am have been enjoying my new office space, presented to me
as an escape from Covid19 we all have been in.  

Quite honestly, it's been like a warped sitcom or as I see it sideways roller-coaster.
Hang onto all paws and keep this whiskers finely tuned for the next
bumps and belly flops! LOL.

The animals came in 2 by 2!

We got my aunt Daphne to make me a custom designed brand new padded blanket
for my sleeping area on the dresser.  
You can groom, wash whiskers and curl up all in one place,
oh if humans could only do that!  

Miss B has that certain style



Well,  all my cat fans you have your own "CAT TALES" or "DOG TALES"
I heard from my bestie somewhere cruising in the Mediterranean.  Look at
those 'cool shades'...."now that runway style "Miss B".



Sheep so gently grazing:


We even got to watch 2 visiting sheep in the neighbourhood.  Talk about environmentally friendly! No loud 'brrrrrrr, brrrr, of lawn mowers to split the quiet cat napping in the cat hammock.  Mind you they are very strange looking...imagine wearing a thick wool coat in the 'heat of summer'.  Alright, that is a bit like calling the kettle black isn't it.   Being a Maine Coon myself, we know about 'thick coats' however my system is highly efficient and air-con -- my trained human looks after that.  πŸ˜… 

 

Look mum no hands - Hanging 10!
There is only one way to hang 10. Paws-a-tively easy!  I was reminded how agile my ancestor Goshi a distant        cousin from Lake St. Clair.  She always seemed to 'land on her paws' no matter the situation.   Talk about a "Retro Exercise Bike". 

There is a reason cats have long tails....a fine balancing             act wouldn't you say!!! πŸ‘

          

Mind you there is always to time laze in cat albums.





A flexible neck and careful planning 
Thank goodness I don't need scuba gear!









Did someone say "Don't try Gargling" or trying to be a "Ventriloquist".  πŸ˜†

I much prefer a stainless steel bowl myself...then you can get the whiskers clean too.


Now I wonder how this is possible to breath, but it can be done, ask Houdini or maybe the best way is to get the scuba gear ready! Standing up to eat with out a bar stool, that is kinda cool.πŸ‘πŸ˜  Mind you Maine Coon cat's being ship board cats, always have a trick up their sleeve.....LOL




 Something about "Whole Foods"




Don't you just love to get out the old joke book or look at the '
funny bone catchers' this one is my
favourite:   Do humans know what 'Whole Foods' are??

                                                                                                                                                                                        I wonder what the mice are saying  behind closed doors:
"Do you think they come with fries and all you can drink soda pop"
Day Dreaming of the next BLOG!
   
I'd like to be a fly on the wall, did some one set up the Zoom Room, where is my understudy, "Hair make-up" action -lets EAT".
 






Well, each day is an adventure, with more time to 'eat, catch mice, play, catch up on old movies, or simply sleep.   Remember to connect with your 'cat friends and dog pals, for today is "National Dog Day". May you enjoy the DOG DAZE OF SUMMER!!    See ya next time.....

Calico in Covid Times - Newsletter Spring 2021

 

Hi Everyone!  I have been a little pre-occupied with Covid times as has my human pet parent!!!  

It certainly is lovely to have her home more often, so I can take advantage of the extra care and attention, the pampering, she is always at my beck-and-call.πŸ’œπŸ’Ÿ

I certainly to feel like Queen these days!!!!πŸ’œπŸ‚½πŸ‚½

She will even grow cat grass for me, each morning, I jump onto the windowsill on my vet's fleece (it is so cozy...and wait for the sunshine to creep around. 

To bring in the bright sun!  It wonderful to take your time to wash your face and get those whiskers all shinny and clean!   

Cat grass takes time to germinate (geez), those funny looking oat grass in the black soil.  I've been told not poke or disturb them....it's just too tempting....(LOL)πŸ˜‹.  She waters it every three days, and I look for the little sprouts to appear.....sooner or later little green soots poke up. Then they become junior blades of grass (I tell her no she can't have any, for her human salad LOL).   

I actually had a visitor in the window ledge outside, a  (delicious looking) beautiful pigeon with grey body and pink markings.  Luckily she didn't see me.....as I stalked her through the glass windowpane. When she wasn't looking I would creep behind her and pounce with my big baseball paws.  Maine Coon cats have them, so it's been a valuable asset to have.  To my dismay, she flew off out of harm's way...I expect she will be back though as they also like to glean in the afternoon sun!  

Well, in these Covid times, I've been doing a lot of sleeping, playing with catnip mice, dreaming about stories to write on my blog post.  Chasing my human, sleeping on my new flannel shirt (believe me you don't want to share of move so cozy). Inspecting the dwelling where I live in the morning and before bedtime.   Yep they call me "Miss Sherlock".   (My pet parent has been reading a truly 'thrilling book, that as she says like being on a roller coaster of suspense called "Secret Sky" by J.P. Mclean - Author, a great Canadian ....check it out)!   I've often caught my pet after midnight reading, then my breakfast is really late!

Living in a busy urban city, there is lots to see and do...we have mechanical cranes in the distance, not the ones that I prefer that fly and might make a nice stew!  I'll have to speak to my cat mum about that! 

I'm a Calico Red Patch-Tabby, with infusions Calico white big tummy and white socks and paws, and a sprinkle of Maine Coon for good measure.


My new human friend Kris told me about I am likely to be a red patch tabby, as she operates  a cat rescue organization.   So much fun to learn about cat-gen-etics!! 

What are your cats doing?  Better check?  Do visit us again, for more Calico cat stories

Be cat savvy wear a mask and safe distance! 😷
