(Not-So) Wordless Wednesday


Why hello, Kitties. So nice of you to drop by today. The King's a little lonely here in his sunpuddles now that his Human has returned to day hunting.

Still, he manages to entertain himself, and today he has a little old-fashioned riddle for his Furiends and their Humans. These riddles are little poems that pose a question, and here is the one I found for you today:

                                              A lonely king behind a white wall
                                              Though so small but stronger than all
                                              I can't go anywhere though I always move
                                             You do the thinking and I have to prove


So, Kitties, I ask you: What Am I? 
Answer tomorrow ~


P.S.  Thanks, Star, for my 6th and final star! XOXO

Lonely and getting too arty-farty in your sun puddle, King Spitty dude. However your portaits today are most handsome and you appear to have been de-tabbied.
Now this sort of thing really taxes our Ă„iti as she takes everything so literally and cannot see the trees for the wood! But we have, we think, sorted it out. All we had to do was lick our lips lots and ponder hard to get our teefs into it, and then we think we we have licked that darn riddle into shape. Personally we'd rather be giving our furs a good tongue-lashing but it would be very rude not to oblige you with a response - be a bit like showing a bottom of disrespect only from our mouths.

We hope you will likewise join in with our little challenge on today's blog!

Well, we have know clue and the Mom's not any help, either. She's plumb fizzled out from getting the new digs ready. But the ladeez think you're looking very sultry today, Spitster. xoxoxo

Angel Prancer Pie said...

Dood, this is driving the Mommy mad. She thinks she might have the answer but doesn't know if she should say. We would hate for her to have a slip of the tongue and ruin it fur everybody else. Happy Wednesday! xoxo

Summer at sparklecat.com said...

I have NO clue! And don't ask my human - she is lousy at riddles. BTW, the calendar is on its way to you!

Sweet Purrfections said...

We have no clue and our mom is no help since her brain is frazzled after working on a map for over 2 hours for work only to have it disappear!

Catio Tales said...

Why King Spitty thank you for your two entries to my bloggie comp. May we ask who is talking to whom in your captions ? Is it Pekka saying shut up or Jaava? And who should make the samich ? This will help us decide whether your entry should be considered worth.
You do realise the prize is a Magic FIshie and the one we sent you before left you traumatised and claiming it was trying to kill you. We are pleased your therapy has clearly worked and you are willing to try again!!

Andrea and the Celestial Kitties said...

Oooo I love that kind of riddle! I'm gonna think on it! I wanna say grand father clock, but I know that cant be right!

We gave you back a star award Spitty!

And I have to say, ok, now I see a little bit of extra fluffiness in your cheeks, but it looks so good on you!

Star says: Oh Spitty! Look at your silky furs in that sunshine! And your handsome face! I feel the need to come over and groom your cheeks and ears and nose...

Angel Simba said...

Oh, Spitty, from that riddle we KNOW you have been licking your furs to make them so beeyoootifull.

Gee, I am as good at solving that as I am on finding Chey on Friday!

If you could hear me humming, it would be Jeopardy. (And Alex saying, "Oh, I'm sorry, William. That's incorrect.")

Seville at Nerissa's Life said...

Misaki @ misadventuresofMisaki said...

I'm not very good at riddles. I was going to say a chess piece, but the king can move so that can't be right:-(

Anyway, you look lovely in the sun spitty!

KarenMcG said...

We like you in your sun spot! You sure look comfy. Sorry you're lonely.

Cat and DOG Chat With Caren said...

A piece from a game of chess?

Cathy Keisha said...

You're an indoor cat who moves around the house but can't get out of it. Either that or the brain.

Mr. Black said...

Okay, we had a guess and scrolled down, trying not to look at anyone's guess, but then we were wondering why we were doing that because we had our guess already.
We got all the way to the end and noticed that Caren and Cody had the same guess as we did (ah, great minds think alike).

The white king on a chess board. Always stuck there. The Queen has more moves than he does. He is behind his white wall of pawns.

Colehaus Cats said...

Riddles, oh fiddles, our Mom says while scratching her head. But the Dad says it's a chess piece, the king! Concats on your final star! Purrs...from the riddlers at Colehauscats.com

Shaggy and Scout said...

We hasn't a clue. Well, actually you gave a clue (the riddle) but we can't figure it out. Of course it will be something obvious when you reveal the answer and then mom will say "well, duh!" She's a mental incompetent.

Mark's Mews (Marley, Lori, Loki, and Binq) said...

We know, but we're not going to say (cuz we cheated). So we'll just sit here and lick our furs smooth; mebbe lap up some water...

ANGEL ABBYGRACE said...

Oh dear Spitty we are horrible at solving riddles. We need a BIG clue (like with the answer). All of us lovely lady cats would adore keeping your company in your sunpuddle.

GLOGIRLY said...

I would be happy to join you in that sun puddle, Spitty!
You needn't be lonely. xoxoxo

...love the poem!
; ) Katie

Kjelle Bus aka Charlie Rascal said...

You are the chess piece THE KING ( the white one:).
Enjoy your napping in the sunpuddle !

CATachresis said...

Hey bud, is Charlie Rascal right? The white king on the chess board?? Otherwise haven't a clue!! You are looking very smug if I might be so bold!! >^,,^<

meowmeowmans said...

We think the answer is a tongue (with the white wall being teeth). And if you need some company in that sunpuddle, just let us know, okay?

white king? i don't fink so...but i has to admit that i don know xactly...but what would a chess king have to prove? that's the key word, if fink...ugh...(*wraking tiny walnut-sized brain*)..erg...um, what gets proved? yeast is proofed...proof read...geometry proofs...uh...ouch. i fink i pulled a muscle in my head.
huh. stumped. I like the tongue answer too but still not sure how the tongue 'proves' anything. can't wait to find out!

The Island Cats said...

That sun looks good on you, Spitty. You should take a nice long nap, then you won't realize that you're alone.

As for your riddle...the mom is USELESS when it comes to those things.

Tamago said...

What a fun! I love riddles. Though...I have no idea what it is!
Is it roach? It's quite strong with shocking appearance and guaranteed to survive atomic bomb. And it may be thinking it's a king!
I hope you don't feel so lonely, Spitty because you are never alone :-)

Kat said...

Spitty you are so handsome!
We love riddles, they always keep us busy!

Cat Tee Mission said...

I'm crap at riddles! But I'd love to soak up that sun with you!! :)

Anonymous said...

Spitty, I am thinkin' there is too much education hanging around your house...I'm thinking it has something to with not being able to park your car in San Francisco...heh...heh...sometimes I crack myself up...
