MONDAY MORNING MEWSINGS...

This Monday morning brings with it a recipe for the perfume of fall.

Add the warmth of orange and yellow leaves, a dash of crispness in the air and a drop or two of rain.
Mix with the whisper of a breeze and the gradually darkening skies
to create the fragrance that is the essence of Autumn
A scent we will wear for the next several months.


A great first step by CEO of Starbucks and home town guy; Howard Shultz.

Hair balls and sticky paws vs. kitty kisses and fuzzy hugs...

Today is the International Day of Peace.

Fuzzy hugs to John Lennon for : "Imagine all the people living life in peace. You may say I'm a dreamer but I'm not the only one..."
In the spirit of the day I'd like to say I am keeping my paws crossed that Syria will follow through with it's commitment to destroy it's chemical weapons. And giving a tentative fuzzy hug to Iran's president for leaving the impression that they will not pursue the making of nuclear weapons.


Kitty kisses to www.allpetsconsidered.com for getting back to us about my favorite furry mousies! They are called Boca Rats and you can order them through the above web site.

Two sticky paws to this whole budget/shutting down the government /debt ceiling debacle! Come on congress get it together or let the cat's take charge. VOTE: CAT'S FOR CONGRESS! It's already gone to the dogs.

A sticky paw and a flip of my tail to Steven Colbert and the Colbert Report.
As much as I love the show, he just may have inadvertently given the "Colbert bump"
to a blatantly racist company that sells inappropriately named and marketed ammunition.
They will probably get more attention now. ( I had a hard time deciding whether I should add to the attention, that is why I am not mentioning names ).

But then a fuzzy hug to Steven Colbert for having the New York subway kittens and the person who adopted them on his show.

A fuzzy hug and kitty kisses to two daughters of former presidents who have grown up to become model global citizens! Cheers to Chelsea Clinton and Caroline Kennedy!


A big kitty kiss if you still write letters by hand. Come on use those opposable thumbs!
Hand written letters are becoming a thing of the past, today most of us use email and text or tweet our way through the day.
I say cursive rules! So write someone a letter. Lick an envelope, stick a stamp and give a boost to the post office.
Think of all the famous letters throughout history.
Who will you write a letter to?


Have a great weekend!

So many guns...

I can not help but wonder why it is we feel we need all these guns. What are we so afraid of?
Guns are for war and the military, for law enforcement... why do ordinary everyday people need guns?
I get it...it's a scary world out there but maybe we should stop and do some thinking about where all these guns are taking us.
It seems that every time there is the beginning of a discussion, everybody starts pointing fingers and the discussion gets lost in all the chaos.
Some would argue that to own any amount of guns is a constitutional right, I guess it's all in your interpretation. Personally I don't think this is what the framers had in mind. We live in a democracy which means we get to debate these issues. So lets debate not accuse, not slander, not bully. Lets talk...more importantly, lets listen.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

MONDAY MORNING MEWSINGS (musings)...

 

Sometimes it's hard to get started on Monday mornings. It means the week is starting all over again and I suppose you could look at it as... Oh man, it's Monday! Somehow I have to make it through another whole week!
On the other hand you could look at it as... Wow, I have another week in which to do great and wonderful things!

Are you a glass half full or a glass half empty kind of cat lover?

Hair Balls and Sticky Paws vs. Kitty Kisses and Fuzzy Hugs

As I leave for the week end here are some of the things that are on my mind and on my list of things to do:

A fuzzy hug to Voyager for staying up in space for 35+ years when it was only supposed to be up there for 5! Considering your iPhone has way more technical abilities, that's awesome!

A big fuzzy hug to the New York city subway kittens.

A sticky paw to Iowa for making it legal to register for a gun even if you are blind. Really? Wouldn't a service dog be a lot more cuddly?

A fuzzy hug to Billie Jean King for being a great female role model and being an American Master
subject on PBS.

A big hair ball to the flooding in Colorado. We hope the rain stops soon.


A big fuzzy hug to all the cat people out there in the blogosphere who have been so kind and helpful!

A sticky paw to marketing that squishes Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas together making us all feel rushed and less able to enjoy the festivities. There have been Halloween decorations up since September 1st!

Fuzzy hugs to Cat-Man-Doo Dried Bonito Flakes! They are soooo yummy!

And kitty kisses to my favorite fur mousies ( not sure who makes them but I'm checking into it... )

I think I'll stay right here until Friday the thirteenth is over...

Just a late addition to today's post:
