So YOU want a little melody with your coffee - do you??

Well Hello MY Darlings!

I've been UP for hours....I expect you are if you are reading this.  Like most felines your humans provide you with plenty of entertainment at all hours of the day (they remind you of mice sometimes don't they).   Just when she thinks I am quietly sleeping or dreaming, I am actually thinking up clever plans.   

As an actress, I often try the raw material at home, then develop the scenes at the theatre which provides for entertainment between sets. This one is called "So YOU want a little melody with your coffee -- DO YOU".

Let me entertain you....with my singing!!!!

 How about some drama in your face? 

Humans are either morning or not ..take mine -- she is NOT.. LOL!!!

There is my human shuffling in and out of her slippers. One eye opened.... absent minded, reaching out for the on switch of the coffee maker.  Diva with elliptical saucers, intent to make contact with her human whose eyes resemble slits like light trying to penetrate an open doorway in the darkness.  

Diva sits for a moment, strategy's her plan of attack!!!  “We know you aren’t a morning person are we human.   Well, I love to play with you like a mouse, are you ready…are you”. “Let the show begin”.

You think the clock radio is loud, you haven’t heard anything yet.   Diva runs into her Cat Cave, just enough room to stretch her body to its’ full length.  Standing on her perfect paws, she starts to practice her operatic scales…(Meow, meeeeooooow, meeeooooooo).   

The glass beaker shatters in the bathroom!
Pitter -patter to human feet scurrying (tripping over her feet) to effect damage control. The voice is raspy more like scorched grass, not quite a fire breathing dragon...only I can do that. "Diva another broken glass, smashed on the floor. I don't have an unlimited supply...not as if I have a prop disposal at your beck and call." “You know I can’t abide plastic”.  

Again, Diva in full force shatters the air with another orchestral performance.   The gentle gurgle, gurgle is no competition.  Turning her head human looks annoyed.  Diva sits threshold of the kitchen doorway in different and defiant, plonks down taking ownership of the space.  “Well human, you know what I want M I L K, M I L K”.

How long do I HAVE TO WAIT!!!

“Ok, OK you are so persistent, you don’t give us and play those psychological games, tugging at my heart strings, and I suppose you think I’m a marsh-mellow”.   “Well, human if the shoe fits, remember what I do for a living a psychology, I have been studying you for years”.  

“Alright you win again, if this means peace and quiet the MILK is on this way”.

Diva spins in delight watching the reward cascading as a waterfall into the dish, eyes gleaming in triumphant victory. 

 Looking back several times Diva trots to her breakfast nook in the living room while the sun rays add a gentle glow to her abode.  Almost filling her nose Diva dives in lapping the milk splashing her whiskers as waves to a kayak.    

 Jumping on her favorite table she sleeps in the sunlight dreaming and thinking of more plots for her human.   Kittens, don't forget to take notes..........!!!!

Think I'm sleeping? NO just plotting my next DRAMA!

 Well, MY Darlings!  Remember to be creative with your humans they are like a three legged stool. Subject to be unbalanced in the morning and easily pursuaded.......LOL.

The Thrill of the Chase

Hello MY Darlings!
We all know the expression "what a day makes" after the snow storm yesterday............

Reminds me of  that song by Dinah Washington and Tony Bennett.
It goes like this "What a difference a day made
Twenty-four little hours
Brought the sun and the flowers
Where there used to be rain".  As you know I love music, it makes me purr, my whiskers twitch and I just want to 'wiggle and giggle' and tap my paws.  Another piece of music I enjoy is the the Rukalta - "Song To The Moon" Rusalka - Song to the Moon I've been know to get me misty eyed!  Ah the moon, now we'll have to wait for a 'full' one --(looks up)...an other article awaits LOL.

The Thrill of the Chase - YUMM

My understudy is meeting me at the theatre for EARLY REHEARSALS.....has me up early practicing our lines! We had to set up a scene.  Naturally as in writing, you need to SHOW not TELL. As in acting you must look for 'truth, sincerity' in order to CAPTURE your AUDIENCE....well, I'm more interested in the FOOD.

YOU said FIND YOUR MARK

Here are a few of the THRILL episodes (before morning COFFEE, my understudy has been working too hard -- have to NATTER AND CHATTER to her about that!)!

 Well what are is MY SCRIPT...   I demand it now.........


Comedians are all over the place......I haven't had MY COFFEE OR BREAKFAST....(that in in MY contract) where is the director....oh you say EXECUTIVE HOURS......................................must be nice........................!

OK make it difficult now we are BLACK AND WHITE!

You think acting is easy.............WELL DARLING.....it has its challenges as does CATCHING FOOD!

 Well sooner or later the Understudy has to arrive?

(Day dreaming..)               

NOT ANOTHER TAKE....

Purr-haps she has my coffee and toasted bagel with smoked salmon (licking lips)

Ah SAVOR THE FLAVOR!

My lady in waiting .....arrived missed the BUS! Saved by the day!

Hint: The thrill of the ride is sometimes getting their with PATIENCE!
