WHAT'S A GIRL TO DO ... PART 2


On July 12, when mine Mommy decided and posted we're taking a blog break, she suggested a few days.
I opined more likely a week.  Of course, wise kitty that I am, here we are,
yet about to paw into another week, meowz.

I've spent much time doing all the things I said I would do,
but a few days lost to window-watching due to some very odd sky that
appeared "out there", but y'all know about that, so no matter going on, on.
And my ears hurt somethin' awful those days.  The TV and her phone
kept blasting these LOUD "announcements" ... warnings she said,
like don't go outside.  I thought maybe aliens were coming, but no.  So
I did avoid my own spaceship [you know, that catasaurus thing] for
fear they'd might want to take it!].

There were a few more pleasant diversions - not that I understood them.
Humans excited over kicking balls around, I do that all the time.
And of course, the bad stuff, the bad man in the city next door who
just never ever stops causing Trouble with a capital T, he that fake-gold T.

Meowz.  Anyway, back on that July 12 post, she said,
"places to go, people to see, things to do, yes, things to do ..."

Well, a little of the first two.  But a wholabunch of the "THINGS TO DO".
Her really big project is still going on.  I suspect not a few more days,
maybe a week, she's taking me visiting sometimes when there's a little break.
I hope whatever this purr-ject is it's worth it.

Missing you ... meowz.

FRIDAY, JULY 17, 2026


Most mornings, June does her regular task of checking out the activity on Charles Street.

This morning, soon after sunrise [though admittedly, we did not see sunrise today], she meowed, 
"oh no, mine Mommy, I cannot see Charles Street,
I can barely see the tall buildings beyond ...
and my window, usually open ... is not really open ...
I do not understand.  Oh no, meowz."

It is probably similar where you are,
here air quality is showing extremely unhealthy at 256.
Stay indoors if you can.  If you have pets to talk outside,
be as brief as possible.

And yes, we are still "on break", so comments remain off.

WHAT'S A GIRL TO DO ...


What's a girl to do ...
mine Mommy says we're taking a few days off.

I know what that means, could even be a week, a whole week.
Oh my cat, meowz.

I'll be bored.  Guess I can nap more.  There's the blankie basket, always the closet,
my "space ship" [cattasaurus], the day bed [if'n I don't mind being stared at],
appearing for meals, of course ... window bird watching when no hots ...
what's a girl to do?

She says, "places to go, people to see, things to do ...
yes, things to do ...".

Blah, blah, blah. 
Meowz.

NATIONAL KITTEN DAY ~ KITTEN JUNE

So, why not share once-the-baby-kitten-June?
Born March 2020, the early days of the pandemic.  
Adopted October, 2020, pandemic well established.
I had just moved, new apartment in Baltimore.  The two of us would share life,
quietly together, somewhat isolated, for months to come.  
She was a shy little one, and that never changed.

She was born into the "Chowder Clowder", and named Chowder.
With a special nod to dear friends 
who, to this day, love to call her [it's allowed, smiling] Chowder!

Though we did choose to name her June, for special reasons.

The image below also shows her three kitty siblings.

She settled well into her new home, enjoying the day bed
and soon "adopting" nearly all other spaces as her own.

THANKFUL THURSDAY ~ THE BEST INTENTIONS


No, I was not about to jump on the table.

Well, I did think about having a better look at that purrty birdie ...

And yes, I did kinda sorta need a tissue for my nose ...

And then I did think I saw a crumb or two left from the donut you 
[should not] have had for your breakfast ...

But, s'riously, I never gave a really s'rious thought to jumping on the table,
and
I cannot tell a lie.

Meowz.

"I'm thankful to know, June, that you have only
the best of intentions.  Ever the good kitty girl."
