  • stinky goodness

    You’ve all left me speechless!

    I had no idea stinky goodness was so scarce.

    By all means, come when you can. I can use all the human’s bowls to share.

    I wonder why I get it so much? Is it because I’m so toothless, or because I refuse to eat anything else. (You would find it hard to beleive, but I can be quite stubborn.)

  • a pic of My Cupboard

    These are mine, all mine.

  • trim

    Heh. The tom got his hair cut off. It used to be longer than my bellyhair. Now it’s as short as the hair on my nose. As he slips to sleap, I sneak up above his pillow and sniff it. It smells funny too. All non-cat-musky.

  • news flash

    Cats get interviewed.One is a tuxedo for Tux fans.

  • stretch, yawn

    No tree in here, unlike some lucky cats.

    I guess I’ll just nonchalantly sharpen a claw or few on this convenient, vertical human leg.

  • something moved me

    She looked so alone, the tom away for the evening. The jane has been sitting still a long time reading more of her papery internet. Her feet are white as cooling eggs. Perhaps owing to my dream where I leapt after the seagull and pursued her with my own wings, I settled down around the white nest of toes, warming them with my own stomach.

  • sports hunting

    The tom threw something for me. It sounded like kibble, bounced like kibble, looked like kibble, but smelled stale. Must be a cat toy to chase around.

  • listen won’t you?

    They don’t get me. I’m not being unclear here. How can they forget the routine? I walk circles trying to spell it out in their own language, voweling around their legs and still they can’t read the writing on the floor. *sigh*

    Sparkle’s advice for January gives me some comfort. I jsut can’t seem to get myself across. Knowing I’m not along in my frustration helps. See, Sparkles explains,

    Dear Mad Meower,
    I completely understand your frustration. And to be honest, I doubt I have a solution that will satisfy you. You see, humans are not that bright when it comes to learning other languages. There are hundreds of different human languages in existence and most people only speak one. And from what I gather, even those who speak the same language often have a hard time understanding each other. So you probably can’t expect your human to spend a lot of time and effort trying to learn Cat. The stupid thing is that Cat is fairly easy to speak – one just needs to learn a limited amount of vowels, be observant and use some body language. It’s really much easier to learn than most human languages.

  • turned out to be a sound idea

    The tom was working on his computer. I decided to sneak up on him circuitously. I hopped up on chair and put my front feet up on a desk but do yuo know, it spoiled the game. It made a sound. I tested again with my front right foot. It made a softer sound the softer I touched it. I gingerly got up and walked across it, making my way to tom who was now changing colors, laughing.

    Do you have a funny table like this?
