Blogaversary (but I forgot!)

Apparently, it was January 5, 2008 that I first posted to this blog. So, HAPPY BLOGAVERSARY TO ME! Yay!

Cat Purrezident Elections

Bhu is very confused about this election. He LUVS Sweet Praline and agrees that compulsory pampering is, indeed, a good thing for all kittehs! But he also thinks that Maggy's platform is a good one. Sweet P has all the experience, whereas Maggy is much younger and less experienced, although she has caught our eye with her Floof-atude!

P.S. Bhu is hoping the winner will consider him for the Ambassadorship to France. He is purracticing his furrench right now!

Whiskas!

Stalker Bhu

Bhu likes to get in this box and watch me while I'm at the computer. He likes hiding behind the paper and then all I can see are his little blue eyes.
Whatcha doin' Bhu?
"Me iz watchin U. Waitz fer U to getz up from chair an then me POUNCEZ! Catch U!"
Pretty exciting! Don't you get bored watching me? I mean, I hardly move except for my hands.
"U getz up more, me pouncez more. No move, me nap."

Today I am very unhappy, worrying about retirement, employment, health, lack of wealth, and about the schlep I have become. I've gone beyond being angry about my circumstances to utter self-loathing. And now I must do laundry, go to grocery store, and try to find a healthier food for Bhu.

A brief commentary about the plane landing on the Hudson River: YAY Gray Hair Pilot!! He had only a few seconds to make a decision (crash here, crash there, possibly land here) and he chose to make a rescue possible. YAY New Jersey transit ferry captains who were on the scene first, followed rapidly by all the little tugs, who started the rescue immediately. Never underestimate the capacity for Heroism that lurks in the hearts of Noo Yawkas and Joisey guys! Proud of you! xxoo Patty

Flying Bhu!

Wow, Bhu! That looks very athletic!
"Me iz praktising flying so me can ketch boids. Me writz to Hepper guy an axs if he can maekz wings fer me."
That's very ambitious. I like your scientific approach to the problem of catching birds. But I LIKE birds, Bhu. They are pretty and they sing and they catch bugs that eat my plants.
"Hmmm. Me eatz yer plants, too. Will boids catch ME?"
Not if you stay inside.
"Then me iz praktising showing mai belleh for Kitty Bellys blog."
Nice!

Evidence!

Bhu, the angel hair begonia and the orchid. He nibbles on both. Here he is trying to look nonchalant. "Me iz lookin outsidez at boids." Yeah, right.

Happy Noo Yeerz Effurrybuddy!

Goma, Minna, Annabelle, Zuzu, Muddy, Myst, Sweet Praline, Maggie, Zoey, Billie and all our Floof & Furr furrends! We hopez U haz lotsa LUV an' fancee feest in 2009! xxoo Patty, Bhu and Sabryin

Hepper WAVE!

"Wai U movez me from mommie's bed? Me waz SLEEPINGZ!"
"Waitz! Wat's dis? Feelz purrrrrrrr-fect!"
"Fanks mommie! Me LUVS dis!"
Bhu hopes your mommie gets one for you: Hepper!

The Creek Cats Got MeMe!

Sixth folder, sixth photo: very bad camera work, but a lovely memory. Sabryin is holding Bhu next to a vase that was made especially for me by Jane Moore of Jerome, AZ(see link in sidebar). That's Bhu's image on the vase. It was my birthday some years ago. I love this vase because it is very heavy and Bhu cannot knock it over.

Now I'm supposed to tag others to do the same. Let's see, who will I choose?

On Infamy Day We Make the Beds

It's "Infamy Day" and we are making the beds. Bhu loves the fluttering sheets and jumps so high to "catch" them in flight! It doesn't matter where he is in the house, when he hears the crisp sheets snapping, he flies into the room and catapults onto the bed, stubby claws poised for the "capture."

"They iz bats or boids in therez!"

I don't think so, Bhu. Do you think they are still under there hiding?

"They iz quietz. Maybe hiding, uh-huh. Maybe me takez nap."
Well, but I have to make the bed, Bhu, so you're gonna have to move your big butt outta here for a minute.
"zzzzzzzzzzzz." xxooo Patty

More Geek Romance

My husband won't play Scrabble with me unless it's online. Bhu sez "U Beans is goofy. Me is waiting for fanzy feestz."

Snow Ho Ho!

First, we got snow! Second, my gouty foot is less swollen and less painful. Third, I decided to get my crochet hand back and started this scarf last night. I ran out of yarn, so I plan to make a run to JoAnn's to see if they still have it (yes, I bought it two years ago -- isn't that always the way?). Bhu showed only minor interest in the yarn, but as you can see, he owns all things.
"Fanks, mom, for mai nice new butt rug!"

xxoo Patty

Got Gout

I told my dawtah I would send her a picture of my gouty foot and she went "EWWW!" So, I've chosen to show you instead, lucky people!! Personally, I think my little feet are kewt, but not the one with gout. It's horrible! I have this stabbing pain every 60 seconds or so and I don't have any shoes that are two different sizes, so it's a bit of a dilemma. We were gonna go out for dinner, but THAT's not gonna happen (unless it's a beach party, of course; but what are the chances of THAT in November?). Happy Anniversary, Sabryin! Love You! xxoo P
