Sunday Selfie: I Lubs My Carrot, Starring Spitty

This intoxicating toy was included in my Secret Paws package from Spike William, and let me tell you, Kitties, it is the best. Too bad the Human's photographic skills were not up to the standards I would like to become accustomed to, but honestly, do I look like I care?

And here's my little movie. For some reason, the Nip and the Vine make me want to clean myself. What the heck is that about? Is it just me, or do you other kitties wash yourselves when you're having a good time?

Merry Christmas to All Creatures Great & Small

We wish everyone a happy, cozy and love-filled holiday!

Sunday Selfie: Ridiculous December Sunshine

We only had it for a day or so about a week ago, but I enjoyed it to the fullest. Now the *other* blue pillow has been returned to its rightful place, and I expect company soon.

Oh Furry Red Ball

How delightfully intoxicating you are! Which might have a little something to do with the silvervine powder the Human thoughtfully sprinkled on you.

(Almost) Wordless Wednesday: You Don't Say

It seems someone(s) had a cookie-and-beer 

holiday bash by the corner of our building last night. 

Did they dunk, do you think?

Sunday Selfie: How the Song Should Be Sung

Just a Little Pillowtalk

I know you'd like to think all the pillows are belong to you, Human. But this one 

is mine to fur up as I see fit. Remember: Sharing is caring. Don't be so greedy.

Bonus: Caturday Art Version

I only added this one because I like how my TAILIO looks.

Am I What?

Drunk?


Yes, I know I have my limbs strewn about in a sloppy and undignified manner.

How could you possibly accuse  . . . hic!


All right! 

I got into the nip. Okay? Is that what you wanted to hear?

I need to nap now. We'll talk about it later.

Sunday Selfie: Won't You Be My Neighbor?

Today we have a guest on our Sunday Selfie. On Friday, the Human was standing at the stop for the N train just a block away from Chez Spittay when she noticed this dark gray beauty across the street, surveying the torn-up block from his/her very own sunny windowsill. I would like to know more about this attractive kitty. It's a challenge I will have to ponder.

She's Not All Bad

So the other day she realized I sometimes still climb to the tippy-top of the cat tree (unlike here where I am settled on the oh-so-accessible lower level).

She worried a bit about my landing on the hard wooden floor so she moved one of my favorite blue cushions to the floor. I will admit the softer landing is nicer.

Spitty is not unreasonable, you know. He will give credit where credit is due. Thanks, Human. Good job.

Rock-a-bye MousieOn the Treetop

When Spitty bites
Your tail might come off.
When claws come out,
Little Mousie will fall.
And Spitty will pounce then--
And that will be all.

Breaking News

About half an hour ago, as I rested peacefully, unsuspectingly next to her desk chair, the Human suddenly pushed said chair backwards with considerable force. Imagine her surprise as I emitted a blood-curdlingly shrill yowl of agony!

"MY TAILIO," I screamed, "MY PRECIOUS TAILIO!"

My friends, just gaze upon this evidence.These furs were trapped beneath one leg of the chair, and when it was so carelessly jerked, HALF my tailio furs were ripped right out of their rightful home.

Oh, yeah, she apologized all over the place and followed me from room to room as I sprinted from her in terror. Spitty is not having any of this "Sorry" nonsense. 

No, I'll have recompense more satisfying than "Sorry." Toonas and cream would be a start.

Sunday Selfie: I'm Predictable

Yes, a fine, sunny day will always find me spending a few restful hours in my favorite purple beddy, peering through the grimy window (yes, Human, you must wash the outsides, too), and passing silent judgment on the neighbors. It's a fine way to amuse myself while catching some rays. 

It puts me in mind of the great Alice Roosevelt Longworth, who said, “If you haven't got anything nice to say about anybody, come sit next to me.”

I'm 14-1/2

The Human does not think I can get to the top 
of my cat tree anymore.

But I can.
