Wordless Wednesday: The King Takes His Royal Nap

Cousin Aggie in My Tent

A few short weeks ago, my Human purchased this enchanting tent for me at PetSmart. It is made of a beautiful green suede-y fabric, has an enticing dangly-toy and a soft-as-soft-can-be matching green plaid pillow. It is, in fact, the Cadillac of kitteh tents!

So why, you may ask yourselves, is it not King Spitty's little face you see peering out from inside the cozy tent?

King Spitty will not leave you in suspense, my furriends. The sad troof is, King Spitty did not like or trust this Cadillac of tents. It was too green, too suede-y, too soft and waaaaaaay too cozy.

It has recently been removed to Casa Aggie and Wally. Last weekend, Aggie's dad snapped this picture as proof positive that Aggie, at least, has succumbed to the Siren Song of that soft plaid pillow. Wally has not yet been sighted enjoying a snooze inside. Purrsunally, I think Aggie probably wants it all for herself.

Women.

Versatile Blogger Award

Versatile Blogger Award 

A few weeks ago, Nellie gave me this excellent award! Thanks, Nellie! I was furry excited and I wanted to post it right away, but You-Know-Who has been slacking off something shocking in recent weeks. 

These are the VBA rules:

• Thank the person who gave you this award. That’s common courtesy.
• Include a link to their blog. That’s also common courtesy — if you can figure out how to do it.
• Next, select 15 blogs/bloggers that you’ve recently discovered or follow regularly. (Nellie says: Pick blogs or bloggers that are excellent!)
• Nominate those 15 bloggers for the Versatile Blogger Award.
• Finally, tell the person who nominated you 7 things about yourself.

I don't think I can manage fifteen (wow--15!), but here are a fantastic five:

The Beautiful Katie Isabella

The Lovely Ms. Stella (& her new "housemates")

Karen & Her Busy Boys

The Wonderful Whisppy

Lovable Leo and Star at Celestial Kitties

Now for my Seven Things

1.  I am small for a ManCat but the Human says I am unbelievably strong. If I don't wanna do it, it ain't gonna be happening.

2.  I'm a super picky eater. I can make the Human almost weep in frustration by refusing to eat if the food isn't exactly what I want, and exactly what I want is a closely-held royal secret that changes from week to week, or even day to day.

3. I have four favorite places to sleep: On either level of my tower, on the back of the comfy chair in the front window, in my brown cuppy bed, and most of all in my tiny tent in the dining room. I am safe from anything in my Tiny Tent.

4. Making it hard for the Human to get a good picture is my favorite hobby. 

5. I am not a snuggly kitty, but often I do follow the Human from room to room--hey! that's not permission to be all grabby-hands with me!

6.  I am a very Good Boy. Mostly, I do not scratch the furniture (I love my scratching post!), and I am not a clumsy-oaf of a kitty who breaks stuff.

7.  I am really enjoying being King. Thanks again, Glogirly!

You're Going to Work?

Today? It's not enough that you 'bandon me all the other days? Now you have to go work on Sunday? Don't be so sure I'll be here waiting for you, like a Good Boy, when you get around to coming home.

Something to See Here?

Nope. Nothing doin' in these parts worth staying awake for!

Kitties: We have been a little remiss in visiting recently, NOT because King Spitty does not want to visit his subjects furriends, but because the Accreditation (she always thinks of it with a capital A) of her school is approaching in early March, and she is in charge of it. It is a hideous and horrendous process involving the endless conducting of meetings and writing of reports, and weeping and wailing and gnashing of teef.  Even *I* feel a twinge of sympathy. But only a twinge.

My Shadow

I have a little shadow that goes in and out with me,
And what can be the use of him is more than I can see.
He is very, very like me from the heels up to the head;
And I see him jump before me, when I jump into my bed.
--Robert Louis Stevenson

Talk to the (Clean) PAW

'cause King Spitty ain't listening.
If you like, and you are very, very brave, you may place a small smooch on my furry footie.
