They’re gonna’ win! I know it as sure as cats have whiskers!  Everyone knows we cats have a sixth sense. Meowmuh was all nervous. She wasn’t sure. But I’m sure. Be sure & watch my video: Sophee's Nose-to-Screen Dodger Win

Yep, it's me again. I'm what you call a 'beam-hog' -- a 'Beamer,' so to speak. I guess I'm up here most every day. I'm ALWAYS up here when someone walks in our house. It's such fun. Until Meowmuh points me out, people don't know I"m up here. If you visited us, how long would it take you to notice me up here watchin' you?

My fav spot is here on the beam between the loft & the entryway. Everyone that lives here knows that. As usual, Spirit's sound asleep. He plays hard & sleeps hard. But, most important &, as usual, he's in my way! 

OK. OK. I'll read the book about Penny. Not everyone gets a book written about them so she must be special.

What? Read a book about a dog? Me? Are you twistin' my whiskers? It's a special dog? Must be a very special dog cause Meowmuh is 'over-the-moon' in love with this book 'Priceless Penny.'  Meowmuh met the author, Lauren, at the Cat Writers' Conference in Houston.  Lauren is Priceless Penny's mom.

Sophee: Got ya!  On the run you gi-normous bully? Scared of a little girl half your size? They say I'm pretty, but I can take care of myself, know what I mean?  The proof is in the pudding, so to speak.  Inkee-Bear:  The better part of valor for a gentleman in this situation is--give it up. I'm outta' here--at least for the time being.

Sophee:  Here's that something special I promised! Warned ya'! Oh, didn't hear me? Earth to Inkee!! Get goin', get off my catwalk, get outta' my face!  Inkee-Bear:  Good grief. She's serious. She's the prettiest calico I've ever met but... Yikes. What's a gentleman to do under these circumstances?

Sophee:  You're not comin' up here.  I'm not even gonna' look at you.  Don't see you, don't hear you, you're not even there.  Inkee-Bear:   I'm not lookin' at you either. Don't see you, don't hear you, you're not even there. Trust me, when I do look at you, you'll be gone.

Yep. I'm serious. August 8 is International Cat Day! Meowmuh said so. It's to celebrate ALL cats in every country; in the entire, humungous, gy-normous world; in the whole universe; in the entire solar system!  Surely there's cats on other planets.  If they think there's hoomans on other planets, there have to be cats too. Right? Just think about it.

Testy kitten Annie wrestles with sibling Lucy in a play-fight.  This wily kitten doesn't back off or give up.  Watch her smooth move as she deploys her newest technique -- backing into the 'enemy.'  In less than 15 minutes, they are snuggled together. Yes, doggie Lucy has joined her new kitten sibling in, what is commonly known as, a 'catnap'.
