Memories of CalvinWe understood each other perfectly, butwe never made any fuss about it; when Ispoke his name and snapped my fingers, hecame to me, when I returned home at night, he was pretty sure to be waiting forme near the gate, and would rise andsaunter along the walk, as if his being therewas purely accidental - so shy was hecommonly of showing feeling. There wasone thing he never did - he

Nala's World - Nothing Like The Smell of Clean Laundry!!!

2009-06-25T13:45:00.000-04:00

This definitely makes a most comfy bed for today. As I mentioned in one of Kathy's older posts, she positively hates my hair on the clothing...oh well...she'll get over it. I just hope she doesn't decide to throw another full basket on top of me...oh my god!!!...I'll get suffocated!!!

Kathy's Journal - It's A Synchronized Kitty Pose

2009-06-23T22:34:00.000-04:00

It's better than synchronized swimming...it's better than synchronized diving...it's called "let's do a synchronized pose for the camera"!!! I must admit I do have them trained rather well, don't you think???

Nala's World - Is It A Statue or Is It Alive???

2009-06-14T20:01:00.001-04:00

No, this is not a picture of a cat statue under a table. ITS ME, OF COURSE!!! I do believe I would make a lovely table ornament if I were not a living, breathing feline. I guess they made this table just for us kitties to sit under.

Gizmo's World - Suppertime In Kathy's Kitchen!

2009-06-11T13:38:00.001-04:00

I heard the dinner bell, jumped off the chair and here I am....gawking at all this delicious human food!!! I see roast beef, pasta and corn. I don't need that thing sitting there next to the food (I think Kathy calls it a fork). I'll just use my paw and dig in!! Ummmmmm Good!!

Kathy's Journal - Get The Popcorn, Have A Seat.....It's Fight Night

2009-06-10T15:37:00.000-04:00

I was lucky to get a ringside seat for this one!!! Gizmo and Nala going at it...throwing punches...batting the paws! Fortunately, there was no hair loss. They will never learn to get along and be feline friends. Here is the summary (blow by blow by rounds):Round 1: pretty even contest, both came out punchingRound 2: Gizmo really let Nala have a good swipe of the paw - no injuryRound 3: Nala's

Gizmo's World - One Handsome Stud!!!

2009-06-09T20:59:00.000-04:00

I know all the female felines (except Nala) would love me because I am soooo handsome. Here I am in one of my best poses - just showing off my impressive black stripes. What a stud I am!!!

Nala's World - I'm Going To Be Physically Sick!!

2009-06-08T20:19:00.000-04:00

Oh my God!!!! I feel positively feverish!!! I am so weak and don't feel like climbing down from this "soft, cushiony seat" that Gizmo told me about. I've seen him lounge on this thing a few times. I don't know what it is, but I guess the humans use it for something. I may lay here forever!!!!

Sheer BeautyA cat is beautiful at a distance - near-to he isan inexhaustible matter for wonder: thepatterning of his eyes, the elaborations of his ears, the beautiful precision of hisnostrils, the elaborate whorls of his face fur,the elegance of his bones, the delicacy of hissinews, the efficiency of his paws, the separatealiveness of his tail. His mouth is incrediblyclean, incredibly pink.His

Gizmo's World - Why Can't I Come Back In???

2009-05-22T19:22:00.000-04:00

Uh-Oh!!! Kathy won't let me back inside. I didn't do anything wrong to deserve this. Pleasssse....let me in...I am very hungry...and have to use the bathroom!!

Kathy's Journal - From The Animal Shelter

2009-05-22T13:33:00.001-04:00

I really enjoy volunteering at the Cumberland Valley Animal Shelter and wanted to share some pics I took there recently. The top pic shows my daughter, Melissa, and one of the cats in the animal bonding room. The bonding room is really set up nice, complete with cat and dog toys. The middle pic is Melissa with one of the dogs in a outdoor dog pen. Whenever someone wants to take a dog out for a

Who Owns Who?I'd like to think I owned the cat.That condescends to share my flat;I give him of my rationed foodAnd cater to his every mood.I'd like to think he'd go to seedIf I weren't there to meet his need,And yet the fact is plain to see -The pesky, doggone cat owns me!Ruth M. Outwater

Nala's World -- The Cat That Licks the Hand

2009-04-30T15:00:00.002-04:00

As you can see, I have found a perfect time to lick Kathy's hand while she types on her blog. My favorite licking time is at night while she is watching TV or after she retires to her bed. I admit it.....I have a hand licking habit...I'm an addict...I can't help myself!!!! Everybody think it's down right weird. I can't have Gizmo find this out...I would be sooo embarrassed and humiliated.

Gizmo's World -- Yummy, Yummy in the Tummy!!

2009-04-29T20:57:00.000-04:00

Here I am in Kathy's kitchen. I found something much more scrumptious than Nala's stale loaf of bread. These lemon poppy-seed muffins look totally awesome!! I think I'll have to sample one before Kathy comes back into the kitchen. (bottom photo) She already thinks that I am a pig!!!-------I just had a taste.....yummy, yummy...I'm in kitty heaven!!! (top photo). She also makes blueberry, chocolate

Nala's World -- A Snack in Kathy's Kitchen

2009-04-28T20:45:00.002-04:00

Here I am in Kathy's kitchen. How can I get a morsel of that delicious bread??? It looks sooo much more appetizing than the same old cat food that we have to eat every day. I would gladly give up being household queen if I could have a chunk of that everyday!!! Humans eat it all the time with butter -- why can't us felines have it too...and the butter???

Gizmo's World -- I Have Claimed Possession of the Bathroom Window!!

2009-04-20T13:33:00.000-04:00

No more peeking under the stupid curtains anymore!!! I finally fought for and taken over the bathroom window from Nala. It's a great place to check out the bird feeder in the backyard. I can easily jump on the counter, hop over the sink, and gaze out the window. Can't wait until the weather gets warmer...Kathy will open up the window and I can jump up, relax and bask in the sunshine.

Nala's World: The Queen On Her Throne!!

2009-04-18T16:13:00.000-04:00

It's a lovely, extremely comfortable patio chair...but who is sitting in this chair...hmmmm??? NO,IT'S NOT A STATUE OF A CAT...NO, IT'S NOT A STUFFED ANIMAL CAT...IT'S ME, OF COURSE!!! I decided to take my Saturday afternoon nap on the screened porch. Gizmo usually naps on the chair on my left. We each have our very own assigned porch chair. Aside from napping, this porch is great for checking

Gizmo's World - What Do You Want????

2009-04-15T09:00:00.001-04:00

I am putting my paw down!! Nala will not push me around anymore!! This window is MINE!!! No more peeking up inside window curtains anymore!!! Nala can have the bathroom window when she wants to gaze out at the stars.

Nala's World -- It's Great To Be Beautiful!!!

2009-04-14T19:27:00.000-04:00

One more terrific pose for the camera. I have many favorite places where I like to relax and sleep. Kathy's clothes drawer is sooo soft and comfortable. I know she doesn't like it when I shed on her clothes, but she'll get over it. I must say this pic definitely shows off my feline beauty...don't you think??? Can't fix perfection!!!

Kathy's Journal - Good News From The Animal Shelter

2009-04-14T14:05:00.000-04:00

I spent some time at the animal shelter this past weekend. I found out some really wonderful news!!! Many of the cats and dogs (even the black/white rabbit) had been adopted this past week. The beautiful white female -- Polly (pictured in one of my earlier posts) was one of the cats adopted. I had a feeling that she wouldn't be there long. Everytime I was there, she usually attracted interest

Gizmo's World - What Am I Sitting On???

2009-04-13T18:52:00.001-04:00

I absolutely love this "cushiony" little seat they have in the bathroom. I don't have any idea why it's in here. Probably something they just use for decoration. I'll never understand the mind of humans.....and they think us felines are a mystery....

Kathy's Journal - Here's Some Pics of Fantastic Felines Waiting for Adoption

2009-04-04T15:08:00.000-04:00

I had some free time today and so I decided to go to the animal shelter and spend some time with some great feline friends:Guiseppe, is the gray and white 2 year old male. He was one of the big males that the shelter has. We had some fun in the bonding room today. He was quite the explorer. I had trouble getting a good picture of him because he wouldn't stay still long enough. A very playful and

Nala's World - Why Must I Share the Spotlight With Gizmo???

2009-04-04T09:00:00.002-04:00

Kathy always wants to take pics of Gizmo and I together. I ABSOLUTELY HATE IT!!!! As you can see for yourself in these pics, Gizmo feels the same way. We keep telling Kathy that we don't like taking these stupid pics together. But, she insists that this is good bonding time for us. Yeah, right!!! I would like nothing more than to scratch Gizmo's eyes out. I am too scared to think what Gizmo
