Meowmuh discovered a long white box leaning on the front door yesterday. The gift card on the front of the box said: "Thank you for being such a good mommy to us. Love, Gracee, Inkee, Sophee & Spirit." How did we cats send her flowers? Well, we'll tell you. Our Auntie Laurel did one of those things that only hoomans can do.

Today is Cinco de Mayo? So soon? Frankly, I haven't recovered from last year's Cinco de Mayo. When we went out last year, I ordered the largest Cadillac Margarita. They must've put an extra shot of something in there cause, I swear, that drink made my ears spin. I had to hang on to my whiskers--seriously.

These are two siblings.They're multi-colored like me but they only have two colors. I have THREE! The sister on the left knows how to 'bump-paw'. She does a high-five to her hooman's fist. Very cool. Her hooman says she's real smart. NEWS FLASH:  so are we, ALL of us. Well, maybe me more than the others.  Calicos are supposed to be smarter, everyone knows that. Right?

This guy is big. He's a Golden Doodle, whatever that is. But, most important, he's a Certified Therapy Dog. He graduated from the year long course. Now, as soon as his vest is on, he knows he is going to 'work.' He'll become something other than 'just a dog.' He was trained to put his chin & paw on the patients he visits.

Don't you just love this guy? He's multi-colored like me - I'm the calico in my family so I have three colors--orange, white & black.  This handsome dude has a T-shirt on so I can't tell if he has three colors or just two. Either way, he's handsome & he got lots of pets & scratches from Meowmuh. Meowmuh was there giving 'them' her attention & we were here

Do you see this? It's a big, wet dripping thing -- Meowmuh says it's a parasol. But it's mysterious & intriguing if you know what I mean. I can hide on one side, reach under with my paw, & -- like magic -- I'm inside it, reaching under to the side where I think I was before. Betcha' the other critters that live here will never find me. This is too much fun! You oughta' try it.

What is this big thing? Why is it so wet?  Meowmuh shook it real hard just outside the door as she came home. Then she opened it into this real big thing inside the house & set it here on the landing. She said she doesn't use this big thing very much anymore because it rarely rains where we live -- in Southern California. So her having this out is special. I'm investigating it.

How did I celebrate International Women's Day? I curled up in Meowmuh's office chair, turned on the computer & googled 'International Women's Day.' Know what? Russian women observed their first 'International Women's Day' in 1913. In the next year, European women held rallies to protest the war.

It's my turn to try the SleepyPod. It’s sooo comfy. I'm grooming before my catnap when I'll curl up in a little ball. It'll be like sleeping on a cloud. I've never slept on a cloud but you know what I mean. It is softer than Meowmuh's Temper-something. Meowmuh says, as with anything new, we should take our time getting used to it. We didn't need time, treats or catnip.

You're not gonna' believe this. You gotta' watch.  Click on the video below:  SOPHEE SHOWS HER OLYMPIC APTITUDE. If you can't see the video, click on the Title:  SOPHEE SHOWS HER OLYMPIC APTITUDE and my video will pop upl  Watch me turn in a Gold Medal Performance on the Tower Tracks. I practice, I focus &, you'll have to admit, I'm fast. We love the Olympics at our house.
