Easter Parade

Queen Diva: "Happy Easter"

 Hello MY Darlings:

 Happy Easter, Happy Spring. What a weekend.....the parade of cats!

 I gave my human the weekend off, so I could party in peace.

 Well, I continue to assert my power and authority over MY kingdom despite the distractions of the "Roaming Knight Sammy". 

He was placed on patrol duty (it give him something to do, and males like that sort of thing -- especially if they think damsels are in need it. -3). 

We do have to humour them don't we!  It gives me time to quaff sardines and steal his food (smirking roaring with laughter). 

Wading into the archives of MY "Princess" photo's to show Sammy how the parade is orchestrated.    I was watching Downton Abbey, the Dowager Countess, Lady of Grantham is my favorite character. MEOW!

A very cool lady, commanding and definitely knows what she wants. She must have been reading my blog?

Little Princess starts the Easter Parade

 I still maintain the upper hand, although "Sammy" struts by and ignores me when I 'hiss' with authority, his eyes tell it all "I couldn't care less, I'm the Alpha male baby". 

Wanna be: KING Sammy!

 

 Well, the way I see it he has to earn merit points or "kudos".  I throw it  back "Did I give you permission to SPEAK, WALK or GET CLOSE, did I, did I?

MY Staff know the unwritten RULES.

I want that BALL!

 

 He is a very good hunter and very agile, he wears his face very well. As a method actor, I recognize this.  It is like he has the shutters down?  This is just to throw you off course.  MY human often uses the metaphor of a 'three legged stool'. 

The WAITING game

 I decided to ravenously  consume MY breakfast, MY staff feed me early as I sip on my warm milk.  Nature has given me keen olfactory senses, I sniff the air pointing my nose left and right.  I pick up his earthy rugged pheromone (from Greek φέρω phero "to bear"), In nature bees have this too, mind you I never get that close to them!!! 

Is this a staring out party?

Do I get more rashers (bacon) for this?

As I was getting a little hungry, I ordered him to patrol the outer perimeter of the domain.

So I guess the games begin?

"Anything You Can Do, I CAN DO BETTER"!

Hey Queenie..."NO you Can't"

Diva  remembers her role in "Annie Get Your Gun" by Irving Berlin!

The song is a spirit duet, with one male singer and one female singer attempting to outdo each other in increasingly complex tasks.

During the song, they argue playfully about who can, for example, sing softer, sing higher, sing sweeter, and hold a note for longer, and boast of their abilities and accomplishments, such as opening safes and living on bread and cheese, although Annie always seems to counter Frank's argument. Neither can "bake a pie," though.

Not unless it's 'fish pie'

Two can play the GAME

I MIGHT save you the Crumbs if YOU are LUCKY!

Mr. Sammy usually comes back far too late.  I leave him mini morsels (no more than a cat sneeze - ha ha)

Well, I like to be prepared for anything --- "Improv and Intuition" are MY key traits along with hunting.  To celebrate a friends birthday we saw "Hunger Games" last week. The lead female character "Katniss" (rhymes with 'hiss' was awesome).  I suggest we need more strong female roles in Media and TV.

Well MY Darlings my middle name is "Xena"

Well, MY Darlings we had some lovely sardines after our exciting day, washed down with warm milk...


Happy Easter...........Happy Spring!

The Concession

 

I love to have the LAST word

Hello MY Darlings:

Well, it has been quite an interesting adventure thus far. “Mr. Arrival” and I are adjusting to our paws and vocal exchanges. 

 I continue to maintain supremacy over my kingdom, matching his baritone meows with my guttural she bear.  Despite the challenges of positioning, I am holding my own.  As with any new relationship feline or human there often needs to be some ‘give and take’.

 

Well Diva, want a challenge send it MY way! 

I am learning that “Mr. Arrival” is very intelligent. He waltzes around and continues to parade his sleek, athletic deportment with the air of cavalier. Much revered in the 

He is awesome!

Theatrical circles. He is tall, brown tabby, with striking silver markings on his body.  Emerald green eyes sparkle from debonair face with distinctive coppery nose and cheeks.  

Diva is in for a RIDE - meow!

Of course MY dears we are equally matched in that regard, I have caught him glancing at me from a distance. I prance by showing off my alabaster neck and white paws, turning slightly so he can see the tri-coloured fur which I call ‘the coat of many colours’ 

I think he is a super cat...never seen any Divo leap with such ease.

I feel EYES peering at me?

He has found himself a perch in what we call the ‘cheap seats’ in the theatre.  It is way up in the rafters, purrfect for the skier or hunting types. I feel like I"m being WATCHED!! 

I do the runway poses, pivot and turn my head in a coy fashion!  Then run like mad before he hisses! I'll I stalk him. Walk by and hiss back.....! Got cha!!!

This morning, did my best Audrey Hepburn walk, coiled my body ....then jumped over him...he didn't know what happened. This expression was worth it..lol

 

Now and again, I sneak over to his food station to see if he has left me any ‘olive branch’ offerings. 

The dish was completely clean….. I do think he is figuring me out!!

I ate his food - lol

Well, I'll chase circles around YOU

!

I think I would like to get to know him more...his name is

"Sammy" 

he is awesome!

 

Ciao MY Darlings.....I'll be writing more about this..............
