Kim, Pumpkin and Pickles are blogging at Dragonlane. We would love it if you could come and visit.

After a short spell of poor health, we're sorry to report that Pearl passed away today. She will be missed.

Something Real

I'm sorry to report that things aren't going very well for me health-wise. But my brother Pumpy gave me a complete bath this morning and he even washed my eyes.

Royal Canin Fudz Gets Boring

I've gone off my fudz again. I definitely didn't eat Waltham's Feline Urinary Diet fudz. YUCK. Of late I've switched to Royal Canin fudz and that was OK for awhile but -- come on -- who wants to eat the same thing every day? I wants some junk fudz like what Pumpy and the dog eats. I'm stressing the lap lady out and she even had to call Royal Canin to get suggestions as to how I might like their fudz better but the only thing they said was that their fudz is made especially palatable for kitties and that I have to eat it and I can't have the junk fudz. I beg to differ, Royal Canin. Your fudz is boring and not fatty enough.

Stop with the Grooming Already!

Pumpy is over-grooming himself again. As you know, it irritates me because he disrupts my sleep when he moves around too much on the sofa and we fought about it again today.

Sometimes I almost prefer the dog.

Strategies

So my BFFB (Bean Friend For Breakfast) has left a treat for moi. (Red Arrow). Trouble is my favorite route to my milky delight (A) is blocked. Chair the wrong way. The direct jump (B) is blocked by the adverse projection of the spoon. The route via sofa, windowsill and through the curtains (C) is just too far and not cool!



My solution was elegant (if I do say so myself). Sofa, wait for Bean to move arm, jump over lap and laptop and voila!

A total eclipse of the sun

I've discovered that the sun disappears from the dining room window at about 10:55 A.M. and it reappears in the living room window at approximately 1:15 in the afternoon. Therefore, I surmise, there is an eclipse at our house. During this time I have been known to run from one window to the other in an attempt to find more sunbeams. When I can't find them, I fall asleep on the sofa next to Pumpy.
