Gizmo's World - A trip to the local watering hole!

Rub-a-dub dub, just relaxin' in the tub!!! Not really. It's my very own watering hole! I know Nala knows about it. I saw the little sneak in the tub just last week. Kathy has caught me red-handed in the tub on a occasion. To my relief, she makes nothing of it: "Oh, look at Gizmo, isn't he cute!" Maybe I could persuade Kathy to fill the tub up with water and lots of bubbles and throw Nala in it. Kathy would say, "Oh look at Nala, she looks like a large, wet rat!!!" That'll show her. Maybe Nala will think twice before using my watering hole without asking first.

Nala's World ...I want a pity party!!

I'm sooo depressed!!! Gizmo and I held vigil last night in the kitchen looking for that elusive critter that we think is sneaking out from the cabinets. I am completely exhausted, besides being depressed. I gave up precious lounging time to sit and stare at kitchen cabinets all night. I need to get a life!!! I am jealous. I know Gizmo has already killed two mice in the garage. I desperately need to show my dominance in Kathy's house. I can't let Gizmo win!!! It's the battle of the sexes --- and the "little adorable lady kitty" (that's me) will prevail!!

Gizmo's World

It's a great day!! I am so proud of myself. I ruined Nala's bonding time with Kathy while she worked on her blog. I saw her up on the desk licking her hand while she typed and just making a complete nuisance of herself. I showed her!!! I got rid of her and now.... I am relaxing comfortably here on the desk while my tail gracefully swishes back and forth on her computer keyboard. What a life!!! Gotta go...I heard Nala coming...time to pounce!!!!

Nala's World

I always know when Kathy sits down and works on her blog. I love to jump up on her desk, lick her hand while she types and, of course, I can't forget to walk across the computer keyboard. There's always a picture of me on her blog (I am considered to be very adorable and better looking than Gizmo!!). Maybe she'll teach me how to type my name. Oh boy! Here comes Gizmo! He just pushed me off the desk. He needs to learn some manners for sure!

Kitty Quote of the Month - March

THE CAT AND THE MOON

The cat went here and there
And the moon spun round like a top
And the nearest kin of the moon,
The creeping cat, looked up
Black Minnaloushe stared at the moon,
For, wander and wail as he would,
The pure cold light in the sky
Troubled his animal blood
Minnaloushe runs in the grass
Lifting his delicate feet.
Do you dance, Minnaloushe, do you dance?
When two close kindred meet,
What better than call a dance?
Maybe the moon may learn,
Tired of that courtly fashion
A new dance turn.
Minnaloushe creeps through the grass
From moonlit place to place,
The sacred moon overhead
has taken a new phase.
Does Minnaloushe know that his pupils
Will pass from change to change,
And that from round to crescent,
From crescent to round they range?
Minnaloushe creeps through the grass
Alone, important and wise,
And lifts to the changing moon
his changing eyes.

W. B. Yeats (1865-1939)

LIfe....According to Gizmo (the continuing saga)

Nala needs to get a life. Kathy won't yell at me...she likes me more than Nala. After all, I am the first-born and I pride myself as the household mice killer. Nala needs to know her place in the pecking order. I rule!!! Till next time...

Gizmo

Nala's World (sequel to Life According to.....Nala)

Gizmo has been a real nuisance as usual. He doesn't take kindly to sharing Kathy's
bed. I like to climb up when Kathy goes to bed each night. I get kinda comfortable then...lo and behold Gizmo makes his grand entrance and plops up on the bed and, in short order, kicks me off!!! Is that rude or what???? Kathy needs to teach him some manners or I will!!! He thinks he owns the house. What nerve!!! It's got to be a male macho thing. It's time for a crash course in "Putting Gizmo in his Place 101".
Til next time.....

Nala

I have to introduce myself......I am Nala!!!

I am NOT a happy camper!!! I seem to feel this way most of the time. I was adopted from a local pet store in the summer of 2005. When I first came home, I wouldn't even let Kathy or Melissa touch me. It took almost a year before I finally warmed up to them. I still don't like to be picked up and held-- I tend to squirm around alot and get frazzled. It's possible I may have been abused as a kitten -- will never know for sure, I don't remember.

I am Gizmo..king of the household!!

Just let me sleep!!! I am "Mr. Sociable" and "Mr. Chatterbox" tabby. Nala and I have almost completely opposite personalities. You usually know when I am around...don't know when to shut up!!. Melissa and Kathy can easily pick me up and throw me over their shoulder with no problem. I loves to knead on Kathy's stomach (I now it's weird, but I sooo love to do it!!).

Life... According to Nala (Okay, people I'm finally speaking my mind!!)

I have to tell you that I love to sit and stare at Kathy. When she decides to chill out for the evening and watch TV that's when I do my "staring routine". I can see her looking at me from the corner of her eyes. I know that she thinks I am the "little demon", but I just look that way sometimes. My face is quite adorable. Gizmo hasn't figured me out yet. I always keep him guessing -- performing my little "angel/devil act". I'll be all nice, give him a few good licks then.....WHAM!!...I spring into attack mode. He doesn't even see it coming. He gets all frazzled and I end up chasing him all over the house. I absolutely love it!!!
