Hola kitties! Didja get everything you wanted under the tree? I didn't. It's appropriate that this is bloopers and fail week since my Christmas was a fail. The sisal on my cat tree hasn't been replaced and all I got for Christmas was underwear. OK, the cat definition of underwear. I got a new litter box. Woohoo! And a Fancy Feast advent calendar full of noms. I also got a nip nanner that was supposed to go into the Secret Paws' package but arrived separated from the cardboard packaging. Plus there was a silvervine fish toy that TW found when she was looking for something in her dresser. The packing slip said it was ordered from Nip & Bones in 2012.
Hola kitties! Here's wishing all of you and your humans have a purrfect Christmas.
This Santa has been in the family hunnerts of years! It was handmade and TW had to add all new cotton to his beard and outfit. Rudolph, hiding in the background, sings and dances to "Move Like Jagger" which has nada to do with Christmas. It will tell you how old Rudy is if that was popular when he was born.
Hola kitties! Time is tight so let's get the festivities started. It's been awhile since I've done a Facebook meme so let's start there. A human friend posted this one meant especially for cats so I decided to put my two million cents in. This should be easy peasy but maybe a bit too easy. I'm sure y'all already know all these facts about moi. Tell your human typist to take a break from thinking about elections and crony virus and help you do it too!
Hola kitties! Qué pasa? I got a rare treat the other day that harkened back to my ghetto kitteh days! The peeps have fast food a couple of times a year when they happen to be on the "avenue." Not 5th Avenue. The other avenue near us. This was my lucky day. They seldom bring it home but cos of 'rona, they ate it at home. Of course I jumped on the table when I smelled that bad-for-you goodness.
Hola kitties! Did you all get your fill of the evil turkey burd? I know I did. By the time the peeps brought out the last bag to make turkey sammiches Monday, I had no innerest at all. That said, I'll move on to my topic for today. I've gotten several requests to tell the story of the peeps getting their refrigerator down the wind-y stairs; so since I do it all for my readers and fans, I'll share the story. Pop remembers most of it. As usual, TW is a bit hazy.
Hola kitties! How was your turkey day? Did you score any of the tender, juicy meat? I hope those veggie humans at least bought some turkey breast slices for their carnivore cats except if they're from Trout Towne. My peeps don't eat cow but for my Gotcha Day every year they buy me one slice of roast of beef. Oops, I got off topic. I'll bet you'd like to read about TW's, er, new hobby …
Hola kitties! Next week is Turkey Day and Shopping Day. Are you ready? I'm starting my deep clean washing routine early this year. One needs to be clean for the holidays or they'll pass you right by. You know what they say: clean body, clean mind. OK, so I only possess one of those. Trust me I'm not thinking clean thoughts in this lead image when I caught TW filming my bath.
Hola kitties! I've been remiss on posting flashbacks so I'll post one today to make it up to you. Today's flashback is from March 2014; back when life was simpler for our peeps. Even though I have my tummy showing and despite the post title, I am not looking to be tickled.
Hola kitties! Since I posted Wednesday, today will be a short one with simply fill-ins and art. TW is messing with my meals though. I'm now getting gut rot for breakfast instead of lunch. Then I get half a can of FF for lunch. I guess I shouldn't complaint as long as I get my four squares a day and don't get shorted. In this image I have the airplane ears and such but I'm not stressed over food. You'll have to read on.
Hola kitty brothers and sisters! We are again participating in the annual BlogBlast 4 Peace. This is the 14th year for one of my favorite blogging events. I've been doing my part since 2011. Mimi Lenox, the founder, wanted to know what would happen if the entire blogosphere posted about world peace on the same day using the same title—Dona Nobis Pacem. It hasn't changed the world—yet—but it's provided some creative and wonderful images of peace. Our 2020 theme for Blog4Peace is Peace in the Time of Quarantine. Our peace movement continues even when humanity is upside down. It is now when peace should take center stage and all signs are looking in the opposite direction.
Hola kitties. I like to keep informed on what the neighbors are up to. Y'all know about Bunhead, the Hippies (Pink Shoelaces/Bushy Head), BBQ Bob and the Doobies. There's one house I haven't told you about and for good reason. It's the Haunted House! OoooooOOO! (Make sure you hover and read the secret messages! I'm telling a story here!)
Hola kitties! Are you getting all kinds of ready for Halloween? This one shouldn't be as scary since a lot of communities, including our condo community, have banned treat or treating. I knew there had to be a positive to come out of this pandemic.
Hola kitties! I'm always looking to do new stuff so I decided to try my paw at needlepoint/embroidery, of course with TW's close snoopervision. Those needles are sharp! *licks wounded paw* Yarn around cats can be a recipe for disaster. Have no fear; I'm not your average cat. This cat knows what to eat and what not to eat. I know when to hold 'em and know when to fold 'em. I can be trusted. I'll bet you want to hear about my allergies too before we get to our regularly-scheduled post.
Hola kitties! How was your week? I've been kinda sorta under the weather. The peeps keep threatening me with the vet. What can I say? I guess I'm just old much like the peeps. I've been laying around doing artwork lately and I have an idea for a new feature. Dunno if this will catch on or not.
Hola kitties! This Friday—or whenever we get this post out!—is a Flashback Friday flashing back to March 2010. I'll betcha anything that 2010 was a better year than this one.
Hola kitties! This is was gonna be a short post. Just some fill-ins and art, until I decided to throw in a blooper and maybe a selfie. In fact the lead image is my selfie which is pinned on my artified studio wall. This has been a busy week for the peeps where The Cat has been left alone and ignored too much. COVID test, flu shot and other things too awful to mention were being done. Now let's get to something fun now that I have TW's attention.
Hola kitties. This isn't a very religious house and we don't usually quote the Bible but we like us some blues. One of our new neighbors plays blues guitar and it's so relaxing to listen to. Last time he played, I was thinking what to write for my Remember Me Thursday post. The words God bless the cat who doesn't have a home—to paraphrase the great blues legend Billie Holliday—popped into this cat's head. Remember Me Thursday is more about the shelter cats but I like to remember my posse out on the streets. Shelter cats are down on their luck but they do have warm places to stay with food and even a bit of loving.
Hola kitties! Tuesday was my 11th Blogoversary but I don't want to dwell on that. I will dwell on the past with a Flashback Friday foto, as well as some fill-ins and artsy art.
Hola kitties! Tis the weekend! I haven't posted on the weekend in so long, I hope I get some visitors. I'm going to post some fill-ins and some art. Are you feeling it? TW sure isn't. She's been doing chores and watching the baseball game. We won, incidentally, for those who care. TW couldn't decide on a lead image between two that she made. I like this one cos this stunning warrior is about to hop up in the air to catch my prey.
Hola kitties! Has it been 19 years already—ten since I first posted these first-hand accounts—since the senseless acts of terror on September 11, 2001? These events that happened before most of us kitties were born are so important that we have to keep alive the memory of that day. This post is to honor those who gave all. This is something humans—especially American humans—need to remember. I concentrate on the World Trade Center but we can't forget those who lost their lives at the Pentagon and aboard Flight 83 who crashed in Shanksville, PA. We decided not to make this post image heavy cos it's the words that should stand out.

Hola kitties! Cats are very curious creatures. We spend copious time patrolling the 'hood by looking out the window. As some of you know, my peeps entertain themselves during these quarantine times by neighbor watching at the window also. There's been some changes around the 'hood and the peeps aren't happy. First, Bunhead doesn't live here anymore.
Hola kitties! It's a happy/sad day for the Cat Blogosphere. It's Rainbow Bridge Remembrance Day. Sad cos we remember the cats who came before and happy because we remember the cats who came before. We remember the good times and the laughs and love they brought into our homes, our hearts and our lives. I've already written about our angel cats in separate posts and all together. For this year's post, I'm remembering a Twitter pal we've never met in the fur. This post's title is a quote from one of his FB/IRL friends that I find fitting.
Hola kitties. It's that time again where I get to embarrass TW! Every month I get to show what a bad photographer TW is. You know I look forward to this even if the photos sometimes hide the stunningness of myself. You're gonna get more bang for your buck since there's no other hops. As you will see, TW likes her photos to be shaky, not stirred.
Hola kittens! Thanks to everyone who sent comforting messages and purrz on the passing of Aunt Pauline. TW tried to pass them onto Uncle Neil who needs a lot of loving.
I love my pal Summer but she wrote a somewhat misguided post this week about why humans should train their cats. Summer is a rock star among cat bloggers and her human knows everything there is to know about cats and is an expert on human/cat bonding. I hate to contradict them ever but I couldn't let this one pass. My humans don't have me trained; I have them trained. I can write the book about why humans need to be trained.
Hola kitties! How was your week? Mine was still too exciting for me. They shut off our water again all day Tuesday to replace the valve that they bandaged last week but as long as my kitchen water that I don't drink has been changed and my fountain is working, I could care less. The peeps were highly inconvenienced. The water went off at 9:30 and they usually sleep until 10 so they had to get up early to fill a few things up with water for an emergency like washing their hands and making tea. It was about a hunnert degrees all week but TW still drinks hot tea.
Hola kitties! On Tuesday Isaias came and paid us a visit. He went and he knocked down trees and wires all over town. Then he turned off our electricity for seven and a half hours. This wasn't right since we paid our bill. I think he might be related to Verona Virus. When the sun came out later in the day and the power didn't, we were treated to a trombone concert by Pink Shoelaces on the porch of the Hippie Mansion. Can you believe a trombone of all instruments! I slept through it. Then Wednesday we didn't have water cos there was a leak or something downstairs. I didn't do it.
Hola kitties! Today's Wednesday Wisdom comes on a day which is also Blogger Day. This little ghetto kitteh uses the Blogger platform. Laugh if you want but my new redesign is as cool and professional looking as most on that other more popular platforms. I march to my own drummer rather than follow the crowd. I like easy and I like free. Free and easy sounds like wisdom to me.
Hola kitties! OMC! Is it blooper day already?? Before I begin, some of you might have noticed I'm in the process of a blog redesign. Bear with me cos we still have to tweak a few things. Pretend that ugly pink is the green I use or by the time you read this it may already be green. The look of the blog is a big blooper right now. MOL! Big thanks to Balkeni Studios for the template and assistance.
Hola kitties! The "Old" in the title doesn't apply to me, thank you very much. CK is always up-to-date on those special days and today is National Tell an Old Joke Day. I'm gonna relate a story that's old and kinda corny but one I don't think I've told before. Of course it involves the peeps. That's where the OLD comes in.
Hola kitties! I've got a bunch of Wednesday Wisdom coming your way. Do any of you read Patrick McDonnell's "Mutts" comic online or in your papers? Last week he was honoring Jane Goodall's 60 years spent in Gombe. Goodall cares about all living creatures and many of her quotes deal with humans destroying the environment.
Hola kitties! How's that for a post title? Did I make you look? I hope so cos my numbers have been beyond dreadful lately. I'm testing out having a different feature every Friday. I know you want to see more pics of me and you'd better tell TW that. Photoshop has been crapping out on us so she's trying to use it less often. Our monthly meme comes courtesy of someone or another on Facebook.
Hola kitties! I know this is a strange title for this post but it will all come together. There also seems to be a pink theme to the images. Let's talk peanuts! I also get feral with my toys. Five years ago, the peeps bought me some catnip bonbons for Christmas. I went so nutz for them that the next year, they bought different flavored peanuts. I've ignored those peanuts until the past week. Suddenly it's been like "where you been all my life?"
Hola kitties! My Wednesday Wisdom is a subject near and dear to kitty hearts. This is sorta, kinda a wordy wordless Wednesday but not too wordy. This is as close to wordless as this little ghetto kitteh feels comfortable with. Climb aboard as I get into my comfort zone. *Om!*
Humans always wonder if we're comfortable when they see our heads hanging over the edge of the bed and when we're sleeping in a yoga position. We are—unless we're innerrupted.
Hola kitties! This is gonna be a great post cos it's gonna be a conglomerate of
so many different things all meshed together nicely. You want flashbacks? I have
that. Did you know today is Compliment Your Mirror Day? I did so I dug out an old photo shoot to show it. My stunningness always compliments the camera as well as the mirror. This
month is Watercolor Month so I may be painting my Caturday Art in watercolors.
I'm stunning so this post will be perfect.
Hola kitties! OMC! Is it blooper day already?? It's true! June is bloopin' out all over. With TW as my photographer, we're always ready and well armed. I'm glad you guys find bloopers so ennertaining or I'd be in trouble. Seems I'm also in trouble around here for something I didn't do.
Think Global. Act Local.
Hola kitties! No quote this week cos today is the most special of the most special days on the cat blogging calendar. It's Cat World Domination Day. This, the 24th day of June, was declared Cat World Domination Day by Sparkle Cat on her 10th birthday in 2012, several years before she went to the Rainbow Bridge. Summer is now carrying on the tradition. I've been celebrating by posting since 2013.This year I'd like to bring up a phrase that's you've all heard I'm sure. Think Global. Act Local.
Hola Kitties. Whatcha got for me? I got some fab facts about The Cat for you, followed by fill ins and art. Dunno where these prompts came from but at some point TW put them on the desktop so I could blog about them. I reconfigured a few for a cat and left a few out cos they were stupid. These prompts are all over the place so bear with me.
Hola Kitties! I'm trying this out as a regular feature. Lemme know if you guys like it. It's just some random quotes about cats and some quotes from cats. If you're famous for any quotes, put 'em in the comments so perhaps I can quote your wisdom. I kinda like this quote even though I'm not overly religious cos there has to be some sort of deterrent to make humans do the right thing when it comes to felines.
Hola kitties! How was your week? I had such a busy week planned that I almost forgot to pencil in Feral Friday. How could I forget? Remember I told you last week TW took away my Venus Paradise pencils last week after I allegedly scribbled all over the wall? Look what she gave me—a big ol' package of Crayola pencils. Dunno if I should accept them but I did use them to color this week's art.
Hola kitties! We're at the tail end of another week but I'm not gonna show my tail. Not right now in mixed company. Not only is it Friday but it's Flashback Feral Friday! I axed the randomizer to pick a number and it decided to go way back. I'm surprised TW's photography was so good in those days.
Hola kitties! The other day when I was enjoying my window whiffies, some old humans were on Bun Head's patio. Y'all know Bun Head; the guy with the golden bun? When I saw where they were pointing, I realized they were the Burd-tv people who were looking to cancel my Burd-tv a few years ago. I hope they're not getting serious about it again. I pay for it monthly and I want my money's worth!
Hola kitties! Here we go for another month full of glorious pics of myself and epic fails. One of these days, TW will learn how to use her flashy box but it hasn't happened this month. As you can see from the title image, we have all kinds of blooper art too. I'm gonna go wash myself now since the peeps can't. We have limited water cos of the water main break.
Hola kitties! I don't need no innerduction but I've been seeing this new meme specifically for cats on Facebook and decided I'd turn it into a blog post instead. Why waste my writing talent on FB when I can do it here where hopefully more readers are going to see it. I know many of you have completed it already. It's such a popular meme even King Maximus of Aleppo completed it! I hope you learn something about The Cat.
Hola kitties! I hope you liked the extra post this week. HAH! It wasn't exactly a wordless Wednesday but a blog is a diary so I write using words. I live with some real characters, don't I? It's Flashback Friday so how about a look back to the past? Then we'll look into the future to see how I did on this week's fill-ins and end it all with some good art drawed while you wait.
Hola kitties! I'll bet you're wondering how my peeps are dealing with the quarantine. I'm gonna describe to you a day in the life of the peeps now that Pop is retired. This is what I have to put up with. With no baseball being played, the peeps call the play-by-play from the view out our window. If you read my Facebook page, you already know about the bikini-clad bathing beauties on the balcony next door in 50ºF temperatures. But there's more!
Hola kitties! Today is Straw Hat Day. The Cat Blogosphere used to make a much bigger ado over this day. Every year I'd have to virtually dress up with a straw hat. One year TW actually tried to put a real one on me. It didn't end well. She may still have the scars.
Hola kitties! Have you missed me? I know you might have gotten used to me posting every day last month. All good things must end. I got some prezzies this week. Spring is the time when a young cat's fancy turns to love. I have a boyfurrend! He's so handsome.
Hola kitties! We got through the A to Z Challenge! I hope I did a good job and you enjoyed reading it. I told TW I wanted to participate in the A to Z last October. We picked a theme and TW procrastinated until February when she seriously started looking for images. As it turned out, April was a good month for it since everyone was on lockdown. Normally June would be a better choice since a lot goes on during April. Now I'm back to my weekly Feral Friday posts.
Hola kitties! I'm participating in I've finished the Blogging A to Z Challenge! During my 10 years of blogging, I've been axed to pose with some crazy shit. Over the past month I've shared some of those pics. No cat was harmed during the taking of these photos but a human may have been harmed. I was never put in any danger or made to do anything that would hurt me. Most of these image have never been posted before. My likeness was not photoshopped into any of the pics you've seen during this challenge. Today's letter is Z.
Hola kitties! I'm participating in the Blogging A to Z Challenge! During my 10 years of blogging, I've been axed to pose with some crazy stuff. All this month I've been sharing some of those pics.

Most of these image have never been posted before. My likeness was not photoshopped into any of the pics during this challenge. Today's letter is Y.
