See the green thing?  "It's a placemat for your water bowl," our hooman told us, "and it looks like a lily pad. Cool, huh?"  Cool?  Dunno bout that. But why our water bowl has to be "placed" on a lily pad is beyond my whiskers. 

Where is it?  Oh, wait!  Now I see it!   Sometimes I let the other cats in our house have a try at it. Sophee chases the laser all the way from the end of the kitchen, through the dining room, through the living room & up the front door. Yes, she jumps way up on the door.

Sophee & I try to get our hooman to play "Laser-Pointer" whenever we can.  Sometimes we don't have to ask. She just does it.  I can hear the click when she turns it on!  Yes I can.  Even if I'm in another room!   My cat ears are super-sonic, better than my sibs, fur shure.  I race to the sound.  So, I'm warnin' ya' startin' right now.  Stay outa' my way 'til I catch this laser thing.

I can catch anything!  Yes, I can.  It takes skill, quick reflexes & determination!  And I gotta' heap-a all three!  More than any of my three sibs, that's fur darn tootin' shure.

I hear you, Spirit. Open your eyes!  It's a laser. I'm chasin' the laser. It's MY fav toy!  I know you aren't into chasin' lasers.  But I am.  So, to each his own.  No, I don't get dizzy from spinnin' in circles chasin' it.

What?!  What did you say? Did you say "LASER" or "LIZARD?"  It makes a difference, you know. What kind of a difference?  Well it's complicated. It's kinda' hard to explain. So, I won't.  Watch me next week with my flips, flops, and forward rolls. And I catch what I'm after, trust me.  And it ain't no lizard or laser.  Tune in. See ya next week.   

I love lickin' tape and anythin' plastic.  When I saw these bags -- like, wow!  I know she isn't happy with me sprawlin' on her kitchen counter but how can a guy resist plastic bags?  I also rearrange the bags, that's what I call work.  So, I'm workin' on Labor Day.  It's a Federal Holiday so I expect time-and-a-half compensation -- in treats that is. 

This patrol duty is a stressful job. But somebody's gotta do it. Best be me. I'm scannin the back yard for those pesky neighbor cats. Well, one is pretty cute. The girl one. She and her brother are look alikes. Then there's the third cat - a black cat - he looks like a mini-Inkee-Bear. We don't know if he has a home. He just sits at the end of our yard, near the wall and stares at our house.

Hey & Hi to all you fine black fella & gal felines out there!  Tomorrow, Saturday August 17, is your/our day. They call it Black Cat Appreciation Day. Did you know there are more black guy than gal cats? It's true.  Another did you know question. The Cat Fanciers' Association says there are how many breeds that list the color black as an option?  Answer:  22 that's twenty-two.
