Gizmo's World - One Handsome Stud!!!

I know all the female felines (except Nala) would love me because I am soooo handsome. Here I am in one of my best poses - just showing off my impressive black stripes. What a stud I am!!!

Nala's World - I'm Going To Be Physically Sick!!

Oh my God!!!! I feel positively feverish!!! I am so weak and don't feel like climbing down from this "soft, cushiony seat" that Gizmo told me about. I've seen him lounge on this thing a few times. I don't know what it is, but I guess the humans use it for something. I may lay here forever!!!!

Kitty Quote of the Month - June

Sheer Beauty

A cat is beautiful at a distance - near-to he is
an inexhaustible matter for wonder: the
patterning of his eyes, the elaborations
of his ears, the beautiful precision of his
nostrils, the elaborate whorls of his face fur,
the elegance of his bones, the delicacy of his
sinews, the efficiency of his paws, the separate
aliveness of his tail. His mouth is incredibly
clean, incredibly pink.
His teeth are precision made. The roof is
rippled, his tongue rasped.
Everything he does is a perfection.

Gizmo's World - Why Can't I Come Back In???

Uh-Oh!!! Kathy won't let me back inside. I didn't do anything wrong to deserve this. Pleasssse....let me in...I am very hungry...and have to use the bathroom!!

Kathy's Journal - From The Animal Shelter

I really enjoy volunteering at the Cumberland Valley Animal Shelter and wanted to share some pics I took there recently. The top pic shows my daughter, Melissa, and one of the cats in the animal bonding room. The bonding room is really set up nice, complete with cat and dog toys. The middle pic is Melissa with one of the dogs in a outdoor dog pen. Whenever someone wants to take a dog out for a walk or share bonding time, the shelter has these pens outside that are fenced off from other dogs that may be outside. The pens are great to let the dog run around and let off some energy. The other pic is of me and another dog that was there at the time. The dogs and cats love the "human attention".

Kitty Quote of The Month - May

Who Owns Who?


I'd like to think I owned the cat.
That condescends to share my flat;
I give him of my rationed food
And cater to his every mood.
I'd like to think he'd go to seed
If I weren't there to meet his need,
And yet the fact is plain to see -
The pesky, doggone cat owns me!

Nala's World -- The Cat That Licks the Hand

As you can see, I have found a perfect time to lick Kathy's hand while she types on her blog. My favorite licking time is at night while she is watching TV or after she retires to her bed. I admit it.....I have a hand licking habit...I'm an addict...I can't help myself!!!! Everybody think it's down right weird. I can't have Gizmo find this out...I would be sooo embarrassed and humiliated.

Gizmo's World -- Yummy, Yummy in the Tummy!!

Here I am in Kathy's kitchen. I found something much more scrumptious than Nala's stale loaf of bread. These lemon poppy-seed muffins look totally awesome!! I think I'll have to sample one before Kathy comes back into the kitchen. (bottom photo) She already thinks that I am a pig!!!-------I just had a taste.....yummy, yummy...I'm in kitty heaven!!! (top photo). She also makes blueberry, chocolate chip and corn muffins. I'll just have to sample them all. Even us felines can have a sweet tooth!!

Nala's World -- A Snack in Kathy's Kitchen

Here I am in Kathy's kitchen. How can I get a morsel of that delicious bread??? It looks sooo much more appetizing than the same old cat food that we have to eat every day. I would gladly give up being household queen if I could have a chunk of that everyday!!! Humans eat it all the time with butter -- why can't us felines have it too...and the butter???

Gizmo's World -- I Have Claimed Possession of the Bathroom Window!!

No more peeking under the stupid curtains anymore!!! I finally fought for and taken over the bathroom window from Nala. It's a great place to check out the bird feeder in the backyard. I can easily jump on the counter, hop over the sink, and gaze out the window. Can't wait until the weather gets warmer...Kathy will open up the window and I can jump up, relax and bask in the sunshine.
