Friday Advice: Room mates 4

Reflective Diva!
Hello MY Darlings:



The interest in room mates, continues to create a strong following.

Personalities often play out, weaving in and out like a ball of string trying to be unraveled!  It's enough to make you shake your head and whiskers!!
"A" type feline personality


Take the other day, it was normal in the kingdom, everyone was getting along (the strong personalities were behaving themselves - for once).
Optics 101



A certain male knight was exhibiting restlessness (pacing, running around the room, frolicking like a drunk foal with springtime fever).

You've got to be kidding!



His body language reveled all, head down, watching his target, prancing and poking at the ME.  "Do you want to play, do ya, do ya, come on, come on...catch me, catch me....I'm just seeing how I can tease you............".
 


The Royal Hiss shatters the airwaves


(With a deadpan expression)

Are you ignoring me.....OK I'll poke you and sniff you....see how you like it, I'm teasing you - do you know it, do ya"
I've got you under MY Spell



I think he's always acts silly (attention seeking behavior a.s.b.) around dinner time.  A rumbling stirs from within...the Royal hiss of warning...(eyes rolling  to the ceiling --what is it with this guy, didn't he get enough mice last night on the hunting patrol)?

In defense mode, blazing MY front claws...flat and square showing MY authority. Revealing, my talons like a hawk. Eyes pierced the morning light.. glaring as a fire breathing dragon, "are you ready for me darling, are you, can you take it can you".  The Royal hiss shattering the airwaves, he jumped as a scolded cat..... on all three. (Muttering he echoes.)  I'd rather concede than fight. 
Feline relationships 101


Before personalities clash like a tambourine's, getting out hand. I grab my trusty 'water pistol' changing the optics. "Come closer, closer, that's it....I see your golden eyes.......(the spray bottle spewing out an umbrella of cold water) stunning the rivalled opponent knocking Mr. Knight off his horse!!



He asked for it - -great spray bottle - lol
OK I did pinch his food, once.


He runs was down the hall across the moat muttering in dulcet tones growling

Whaaaat happened!!
 (Stunned, bewildered) "Oh my gosh, what nerve...she did that to meeee. I love to tease you like a BIG brother".
 


I'll be  BACK
Cats hate getting their face wet.....especially if by surprise.  (Diva laughing....) Not as effective as the pie in the face but close) LOL!    (Wry smile) 'You haven't seen the last of me YET'.

The last word is MINE
  (Haughty grin...) The last word is MINE. Remember --Sr. Knight, I have the ace in my paws.

My gamekeeper knows all the mice hideouts, I maintain supply and demand list.

Darlings, remember to stay true to your OWN voice, always demand respect! Have fun and play fair!!! :)

Salon Style -Celebrating Family Day - February 20th 2012

Hello My Darlings!   Calling all Diva's and Divo's:


Sundays I always love.  It can be a quiet day to reflect, run errands,
go to Church, hob nob with a celeb.... or simply chase mice...better yet lounge!!!

Musing about Feb 20, 2012
I started musing on the subjects of friends, families and gatherings. February 20th is 'Family Day'. My human explained. " In Ontario, Saskatchewan and Alberta (introduced in 1990 to allow workers to spend more time with their families) the holiday of "Family Day" is observed on the third Monday in February. One of the reasons for introducing Family Day was that there was a long period when there were no holidays from New Year's Day until Good Friday....well Diva what do you want to do?".  Gatherings can happen when they are centered around holidays too.  Tomorrow is also "Presidents Day" in America.  Special wishes go to all my feline and canine friends there - woo hoo!

I'm all for this.  Keeping in touch with my friends is SO IMPORTANT....a change for a party!! Woo hoo.Think of how busy the dog parks will be tomorrow. 

Giving the social circles I like to travel with...the French have got it right:  "Salons, commonly associated with French literary and philosophical movements of the 17th and 18th centuries, were carried on until quite recently, in urban settings, among like-minded people".

Réunion de dames, Abraham Bosse, 17th century.
  
A salon is a gathering of people (humans) under the roof of an inspiring host, held partly to amuse one another and partly to refine taste and increase their knowledge of the participants through conversation. A man called Horace , "either to please or to educate" ("aut delectare aut prodesse est"). 


I never refuse an offering of milk
 This was my favorite place to play, lingering with delightful  friends and conversation. Our tummies filled with smoked salmon and organic milk.       The gently breezes, tickled my whiskers as I fell into restful slumber.


Guild Hall Summer 2011
Coffee with Aunt Joan
Toulouse and Aunt Nina

Aunt Ness - In the MUSE
Who knows you might meet a Celeb
 Where, what or how you gather doesn't matter...................the importance is to connect and share! 

So Darlings:  Your mission is this 1) Pick up the phone 2) Write a letter   3) Arrange a Salon  4) Practice the art of meow conversations!

Have a smashing good time, any time is a change for a Salon..................see you next time.

Sous Chef Experience - Diva Knows Best

Hello My Darlings!

I had the experience of a Sous Chef in my kitchen:

Sous Chef:  sous-chef (s sh f , s -sh f ). n. pl. sous-chefs (-sh fs , -sh f ). The chef who is second in authority in a restaurant or kitchen, ranking below the head chef. 
 (Diva's have the LAST word on this)

First hand experience is best when it comes to the kitchen! This is what you need to know:


 Rule #1 - be attentive to sounds!
A . The opening of the fridge door; B. dishes being cleared from the drainer - getting ready for cooking;
C. "zip gagunk' is the opening of the tin of food; D. gastronomic odors of chicken, fish, or asparagus - ding-dong breakfast, lunch or dinner IS in the making;  E. 'tap, tap, tap' noise of fork hitting saucer means my meal is about to be served; F. the sound of the coffee grinder - coffee segues to the promise of M I L K.

You might want to share this with your canine friends - LOL :)

Happy foraging and eating..............until next time
