More about that cat tree ~
So now it's back by the window.
So now it's back by the window.
I do admit to liking it here. Daytime and nighttime.
Sunlight and warm breezes, or watching the city lights.
But, yes, meow. I'm in the middle. No top level for me, never ever.
Can't help but wonder ~ could I have been the middle
No, that's not it at all, June. There were four kitties in your clowder ...
you're just a strange little girl about some things.
Sorta like not being a liberal and not being a conservative, but hanging out
somewhere in the middle. Reminds me that I heard once upon a time, long ago,
there was a pawlitical party called the "mugwumps",
cause they sat with their mugs on one side of the fence and their wumps on the other!
Cute name, huh? Which in turn, reminds me of yet another story: when I first
moved to DC after college, in the apartment building where I lived,
a "rock band" moved in briefly and temporarily, they were called "The Mugwumps"
and performed at local venues, and practiced on our rooftop deck. The
building had young tenants, all would gather up there to party, listen to their
music ... they were John, Michelle, Denny and Cass.
" California Dreamin' " ~ do you know their real name as fame came?
What a cool story about the rock band! It's okay to not like the top level of your tree. They are all different and you have to use the level that works best for you.
ReplyDeleteMama's and the Papa's. I still like their songs even as old as I am. June you look gorgeous on your tree.
ReplyDelete#1 says she loved The Mamas and The Papas! That's a beautiful cat tree. Ryū would probably claim the top level!
ReplyDeletePurrs,
The Chans
It is your tree, so go wherever you want to on it, June. How exciting to be able to watch the pop group practice before they became the Mamas and Papas in the mid 60s!
ReplyDeleteJune, the middle is purrfect! Angel Derry preferred lower to middle perches too!
ReplyDeleteThe Mamas and the Papas? In your building! That's so cool!
Cute story, I would say I am a Mugwump too.
ReplyDeleteJune found a comfy spot in the middle!
Take care, have a wonderful day!
We think that tree is great now matter where you hang out.
ReplyDeleteYou lived in the same apartment building with the future Mamas and the Papas? And listened to them... that's an awesome memory! June, it's okay sweetie... be on whatever level makes you happy!
ReplyDeleteI am wondering if the top is scary by the window because you are looking down at how high you are.. you look great no matter which bed you choose. I know the song but can't remember the band name
ReplyDeleteJune, we know that someday, you'll ascend to that top tier...in your own good time.
ReplyDeleteOMG! You knew The Mamas & the Papas before they were famous!? How cool is that. It would be great if you somewhere had a picture of them on the rooftop. You are a silly kitty to not go on the top of your cat tree when it's in the corner, June.
ReplyDeleteOur kitties got in every part of the cat tree. Low and way up high.
ReplyDeleteThank you for joining the Wordless Wednesday Blog Hop.
Have a fabulous Wordless Wednesday. Scritches to June. ♥

Mom loved Cass Elliott and was so sad when she passed. Yesterday, mom was washing the picture window on the outside where she had to use her 4' step ladder. She hates the step that's one from the top. I really whigs her out to have to use it but if she wants to reach the top of the window..............That's how we think of you refusing to use the top bunk on your cat tree.
ReplyDeleteJune variety is the spice of life and you my sweet JUNE know how to get the most out of every nano second
ReplyDeleteHugs cecilia
OMCs forgot to say OMCs to Mom's brush with fame...loved their music
ReplyDeleteHugs cecili

ReplyDeleteall... the... leaves.... are... brown; all the leaves are brown, and the sky is gray, ~~~~~ epic song from the mamas and the papas and on my itunes list ♥♥☺☺
ReplyDeleteJune, the middle level of the tree works as well as any other and you look darling there, so, go for it! That's a cool 😎 history of the band!
ReplyDeleteJune you are so cute and that is a wonderful tree! Roary likes to be high up, you're probably more of a "ground dweller"
ReplyDeleteWow ! So you knew 'em "back when" huh ?
ReplyDeleteYou're just a quirky girl, sweet June!
ReplyDeleteSounds like fun times. XO
ReplyDeleteOMD! You for to listen to the Mamas and the Papas or free on the roof of your residence! How awesome is that!! June, the middle can be a good place to be.
ReplyDeleteSweet June, you are so cute no matter with perch you choose. I love that story about the band, WOW!
ReplyDeleteMom loved those Mamas and Papas - great music!!! Stick to the middle, June, you just can't go wrong there:)
ReplyDeleteThank you and your Mommy for the sweet birthday wishes - they mean a lot to us.
Woos - Misty and Timber
You lived in the same apartment building as the Mamas and the Papas? Wow!
ReplyDeleteJuney, maybe you like having a ceiling over you and feel safer on that middle perch?
I would guess it's harder to see out the window from the top, even if it gives a better view in the center of the room.
ReplyDeleteNice to be able to say you knew them as kids just starting out, isn't it.
i need to get a dog tree. Is dog wood a good building base?
ReplyDeleteNicew to have a choice about where to sit or nap...pick the one you love the best! ybe you love that middle level because it seems to be about the same level as the windowsill?
ReplyDeleteHow amazing that you knew and heard that band before it got to be so famous!
Every once in a while I hear a violinist on the radio, and I think, wow, I knew her when she was not even a teenager! She and I had the same teacher...she went on, and I did too, but not in the same way, LOL!
We could use more middle of the roaders these days, June. Too many extremes on both sides have made people crazy.
ReplyDeleteWhoa...the Mamas and the Papas lived in your building? How cool is that. A nice evening concert would have been very groovy. ;)
Chaplin: "Maybe the top of the cat tree is already occupied by a 'ghost cat' ― you know, like one of those 'ghost runners' in baseball when there aren't enough players on the team!"
