I like a little Einstein with my cat

 

 

That Albert seems to have had quite the sense of humor.

At my house, there is a cat, a Real Cat. Two of them. Here's one:

Friday Cat Blogging: Love

I did this for a challenge at Collage Obsession. The word was love, and these photos – which I've posted before, I think – are what came to mind:

Cousin Sue's Little Bibs

 

This little sweetie hissed the minute she saw me. In three days she maybe let me touch her twice. But as you can see, she is devoted to her chosen human.

It's National Tie Day

 

I must admit I've never understood ties. A few are beautiful, but many are ... strange. And what's their function, really? To announce that you belong to some obscure club?

The worst was the period when professional woman began copying men's wardrobe -- much of which is appealing -- but, ties?

So I don't really get this celebration of an accessory that seems best suited to strangling its wearer. But it did give me an excuse to make this silly photo.

Oh, wait. It's not National Tie Day. It's National PIE Day. Now that's something to celebrate.

Never mind.

Go look at cats instead:

• Carnival of the Cats goes up every Sunday
  
  • The 358th edition, 1/23, is up at Meowsings of an Opinionated Pussycat

Sweet Belle

 

Ah, she looks so innocent, doesn't she?

Don't be fooled.

And visit:

• Carnival of the Cats goes up every Sunday
  
  • The 356th edition, 1/9, is up at Billy SweetFeets
  • The 357th edition, 1/16, will be at iMeowza

Enjoy.

More About Belle

 

Belle thinks that toileting is a collective exercise. Every time I go to the bathroom, so does she.

Have you ever been sitting quietly, minding your own business (so to speak) when a cat popped up between your thighs?

She loves to do this. It can be a bit unsettling for folks I've forgotten to warn.

I've heard shrieks.

 

Go enjoy:

  • The 355th edition, 1/2, is up at Nikita and Elvira
  • The 356th edition, 1/9, will be at Billy SweetFeets
