REMARKS FROM THE ZOOLATRY GIRLS

REMARKS FROM THE ZOOLATRY GIRLS

MAGGY: I'm happy to go on a little break.  You know I don't like my
pikshur taken anyways.  And I've enough vanity that I often do not
like the pictures she does show of me.  So, break time is fine by me!

ZOEY:  But why?  C'mon, ZH... you know I'm a show-off and
I love my blog.  I don't want to be gone.  I'm going to whine,
and meow, and squeak until we come back again.
That'll teach you! And besides, I want that polka-dot suitcase!

THE ZOOLATRY HUMAN: Stop being fussybutts, you two.
We've got some other kitties bloggie work to do,
and we want to work on Cat Talk Time stuff,
and just so everyone knows ... in September
there's some FUN EVENTS coming up for The Cat Blogosphere
and we need to get some things ready for those ...
so ... see you in September!
Oh, and Zoey... you know the polka dot suitcase belongs to
Maggy, so stop with the sibling stuff.

NO COMMENTS TODAY

What? No post! No picture!
No, sorry, Zoey... No comments today either, please. 
We be wordless (almost) today.
 But I don't understand.

Well, you see Zo...

so we are setting aside
today ONLY for visiting everyone else. 

So nokitty and nowoo has to visit us today,
and nokitty and nowoo

 ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
But before we leave, we'd like to also say that we are
keeping paws crossed that all will be well for
Sammy, Andy and Shelley ... and for ALL our friends who
are facing hard times.

MOL TO US ~ and for LOVELY MISS PEACH

Hi, Zoey here ~ I've never thought my ZH was particularly good with "words".  Most often she speaks for us through "pik-shurs".  Now, don't tell anyone, but did you know, she even had to email a friend not too long ago and ask, "what does MOL mean?"  I mean talk about Embarrassment with a Capital E.  So Maggy 'n me figured if we asked all our friends for their favorite, their special and unusual "cat talk", well, maybe she'd learn something!  Maybe.  And then I had a really good thought.  I'm going to put all the "cat talk" words in a basket and I'll either pick my favorites, or if we can figure out the "vote thingy" we'll let everyone vote for their favorites.  And I'll have the ZH make special "pik-shurs" for the top three vote-getters, or winners! So, tell us yours ... go ahead, you can MOL, cause now we know what it means!
______________________________________________________________
Sometimes, when you plan to have a happy and fun filled day,
sad things happen that you didn't plan for.  Today is that kind of day.
So, so many years ago when we first became cat bloggers, we met the beautiful
and wonderful and loving Miss Peach.  She lived in the cozy cottage with her
mom Karla and her Lap-Daddy.  We have shared many good times
with all of them.  And now we share the sadness of their hearts.
Farewell to Miss Peach, you are forever loved.

CAT TALK TIME

Cats are very expressive.  And in our years of pet blogging, we've found that their humans are very expressive, too!  So we're putting out a challenge to one and all, just a furry-fun event, for Tuesday August 23 ~ on your blog, just post your favorite, clever, old, new, unusual, humorous cat talk.  We were recently introduced to some new cat talk ~ "whisker humps".  Of course, there's "tail wags", and "chin scritches" and so many more.  And when it comes to the humans, well ... we've heard beans, and bipeds, and food purrsons.  And let's not forget the famous MOL.  So, that's the Cat Talk Time Challenge ~ get wordy, creatively wordy ~ and if you can show a photo that goes with your "talk", that's even better!  No prizes, no awards, just a wholelotta fun.  [P.S. if you have time to stop in here at Zoolatry, and leave a comment with your cat talk time words, Maggy and Zoey are thinking of picking their top three favorites and challenging the ZH to create a "photoart picture" of each.  MOL, she might even create a Cat Blogosphere Pictionary! P.P.S. the woo-ing ones are always welcome to join in.)

THANKFUL THURSDAY

 I will be very thankful if there's lots of shrimp lefty-overs in this bag! 
I hope there's some Poots Sauce, too ...
cause I do love Poots with my shrimp.
Below: the ZH found some old pictures of me
when I indulge in a bit too much
shrimp 'n' Poots.

EASY LIKE SUNDAY ~ NOT!

In light of some early morning commotion
overheard and seen on the back porch,
the Zoolatry Human is predicting that this will not be an easy Sunday.

PHOTO HUNT: ONE

I am ONE of two kitties who run this blog.
I am ONE very special kitty.
I am very special in many ways.
ONE way I am special
is because I have ONE cute snaggle toof.

BOOKENDS

Remarks by the ZH:
(1) I sure hope that tail does a bit of dusting up there, one less chore for me today.
(2) If I could sleep like that, life would be purrfect.
(3) If I had one more of these, I'd have a nice pair of bookends.
P.S.  with apawlogies to our friends Sage and Fizz.  We'd intended to post
pictures of them for Friends Friday, but the ZH has "lost" the pictures... maybe
they're in one of those closets she was cleaning ... we'll just have to look harder
and maybe we can show them for the next FF.

THANKFUL THURSDAY

I've noticed that when the little "grand-kitty" is here,
he always manages to find some new toys.  You know I love toys!
I think that's because he has thumbs and they work quite well now
and he can open closet doors.  I don't have thumbs!
Sometimes there are treasures hiding in the closets. 
This morning he found this ball. 
I mean this really, really B-I-G ball. 
I'll be thankful when he goes home and I can have a chance to play
with this really, really B-I-G ball!

WEDNESDAY WHEELS

While on break, the ZH decided to do some "clean up closet" time.  She found this stroller, and this walker.  Generations apart, mmm!  Time for a yard sale, or off to charity.  But wait!  Look here.  Two cats appear to be interested.  Speaking of interested,
interesting that the young and silly cat chose the stroller while
the older and more mature cat found the walker to be just right.

A CAT BASKET

If I went around the house, I would likely see one or two baskets in every room.
Some are large.  Some are medium.  Some are small.
Some are empty.  Some are full.
This is a small basket, but it is full.
I really can't quite figure out how Zoey managed to stuff her fluffy and fairly
large butt into this rather small basket.
Guess it's just proof that where there's a will there's a way ...

PHOTO HUNT: PAINTED

THE ADVENTURES OF ZOEY-PAWS SAWYER
"with a wink and a tail-wag to Mark Twain"
Once upon a time, in the 1800s, I lived in a little village called St. Petersburg,
in Missouri, on the banks of the Mississippi River.
My cousin was named MagCat Sawyer, and she was known to be the
village "bad cat".  At times, I could be mischievous too.
Once when MagCat was especially naughty, our
Aunt PollyPurrs said she had to whitewash the fence as her punishment.
But instead, MagCat got together with her really wicked whiskered
friend, HuckFurrocious Finn.  They stole an old dinghy and drifted away
down river in search of feline adventures.
I didn't want MagCat to be in more trouble whenever she came home,
so I went off to Aunt PollyPurrs house to whitewash her fence.
_________________________________
Purrhaps I got a bit carried away that day.
But then I am a colorful cat.
And I prefer a colorfully painted fence!

I do hope Aunt PollyPurrs won't punish me ...
