Traveling House

Another zoo picture. A turtle. A big turtle. A huge turtle. 'D' said that the turtle moves really, really slow. He told me some story about a turtle and a hare ... yadda yadda yadda ... and the turtle won. I gather that there was a moral of the story, but during 'D's telling of the tale, I began watching a bug crawl across the floor - and .... well .... I sort of lost interest in the story and after he finished telling it - I had no idea what the moral of the story was.

Besides, if I had to carry around my house on my back, I think I would move rather slow myself.

Maybe that was the moral of the story. People who carry around houses .. move really, really slow.

Bats Man

Another zoo picture 'D' showed me. 'D' called these creatures Bats. Kinda scary looking don't you think? 'D' said that they were big, almost as large as me. I wonder what it would be like to fly. I think it would be fun. Would be a lot easier to catch birdies that way.

I can just see myself gliding around the air, checking out the people below who would be as small as ants.

And, having a little mean streak in me, I would probably fly about some human that I didn't like and I'd ...... well ...... if you think it's nasty when a birdie drops a present ... just imagine what it would be like it a kitty dropped one!

We' Off To See The Lizard .....

Another picture of 'D&D's zoo trip. 'D' decided to show me a few other pictures that he took at the zoo. I liked this one. So regal looking this lizard. 'D' said that the lizard was larger than me. I can only image! If I ran into this one, I think I would beat feet the other way, and not look back. 'D' says that the lizard eats flies. Then he said 'yuck'.

Oh foolish foolish little man. Little does he know that I have eaten a fly or two or three in my lifetime. And I lick him with the same mouth that I ate the fly with.

So now when I lick him, I laugh and grin. He think's I'm being 'cute', but the reality is I'm laughing at him because he now has fly juice on him!

Grrrrrrrrr

Ohhhh what a cute kitty cat. Actually I think it's a Bobcat. 'D&D' went to the zoo and snapped a lot of pictures. Of course they only showed me the ones of the 'wild cats'. I really would like to see all of them. You know, I don't think I'd like living in a zoo. I mean, people come by and see you, stare at you, and take pictures of you. I would think that would be annoying. But you do have a place to live, and all the food you could eat. You can live outside, or in one of the 'wildcat' shelters they have.

Hmmmmmm. I guess a zoo is like living in this house with 'D&D'. People do come by and see me, and stare at me, and take my picture. I do have a place to live, and all the food I want to eat. The only difference is that I live only inside - not outside.

The only question is .... who is the zookeeper ..... me or 'D&D'.

I think all us know the answer to that question (big kitty grin).

Yawn

Yawn. I'm one sleepy kitty. I did do some serious napping today. 'D' calls it 'sawing logs'. 'D' says that I make little noises when I sleep. Hmpf! He should talk. Sounds like he is using a chain saw when he sleeps. How can such a horrible noise come out of such a little nose!

Anyone have suggestions about how to make 'D' stop snoring?

Upside Down ... boy you turn me.

Ok guys. Humans may think this it is a good thing .... being a cat. Well, let me tell you it does have it drawbacks.

Like having someone taking your picture while you are trying to nap. So, you would look up to see what all the fuss is about - and 'click' someone takes your picture.

Can you guess what I am really thinking in this photo that 'D' took?

I am thinking to myself ' I can see inside your nose'.

A Bee in 'D's flower garden

'D' was outside taking pictures of his flower garden; and snapped this shot of a bee feeding on one of his flowers.

I like the color of the bee. Black and yellow. But he (or she) looks a little mean. I have chased a bee or two around the house, but nothing like this one. I don't know if it's a Bumble Bee or a Carpenter Bee.

It's a stinging bee - that's all I know. I will be sure to stay away from it's hind end if I ever come across one. Hmmmm, but I wonder if it could sting me through my pretty, white fur. I know my pretty pink nose, ears, and paws would be targets for sure.

'D' says that the bees will not harm you if you do not bother them. 'D' is outside, dead-heading flowers, weeding, etc with these bees flying all about him - and he doesn't get sting.

But I'm a cat. I like to play with things. Crawling things, flying things, .... just things in general. It's in my nature. So ... yeah I would get stung in the paw for sure. I'm thankful that this particular bee is outside; and not inside. Because, there we be no way I will sit still for a moment if this bee was inside the house. I would chase it, jump for it, swat at it - and then I would get into trouble (meaning stung). Even the word sounds painful.

Time for a kitty poem.

'The Bee' By Keldan

Pretty yellow and black thing buzzing about.
Making it's circles in the air.
And there goes 'D' running and yelling,
thinking it's in his hair.
I smile my smile and grin my grin
watching this comedy of man.
'D' trips on the rake and falls to the ground
and lands on his aching can.

The End

The lesson: The bee always wins!

What A Handsome One!

Wow! I must say, I do look very handsome!
I would like to thank 'WW' for taking this wonderful picture of me! Oh what pretty eyes I have!

Everyone loves my eyes! One blue eye and one amber eye.

I was posing for 'WW. The truth be known, I am not a ham! I just happen to be very photogenic!

I could be a model. Actually I am a model. I am the model of a perfect kitty (just do not ask 'D&D' because I am sure they would dissagree).
