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.

 

HAPPY MONDAY ~ HAPPY JUNE

 

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 

da tabbies o trout towne

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."

THE EARTH IS NOT ROUND

The earth is NOT round.

I am NOT round.

The earth is an ellipsoid.

The simplest definition of an ellipsoid is that it is "the 3D equivalent of an ellipse".  

The other definitions are far too complex for me, a kitty cat, to explain or share here, 
because I did not understand them at all, meowz.

And according to NOAA, the earth, as an ellipsoid, 

also has a slight bulge at the middle.

Mine Mommy says that appears to describe me quite well,
though she often says I am round and big, and too round and too big.

If you choose to comment, meowz,

I am sensitive, and words matter, kindness matters,

meowz, my roundness or ellipsoid-ness

is really a very purrsonal matter, meowz.
