Camie’s Kitties is our Sunday Guest Star

boys-001Well I had a number of cats know exactly where I was, even before they came out with this week’s geography lesson. Camie’s Kitties were the first to let me know.

You are next to one of a pair of sphinxes that stand near Parliament in London, England. Between the two statues is an obelisk called “Cleopatra’s Needle.”

Tavi, Cody, Camie and Miss Jade

Eric and Flynn were able to verify that they got the correct answer. Siena and Chilli and the Taylor Cats agree that Tavi, Cody, Camie and Miss Jade were correct. Yao-lin goes there, but unfortunately he was not there the day I was lost, else I am sure he would have led me to a fine eatery. Milo and Alfie were thrilled to recognize where I was.

Fat Eric said:

Darn, I knew this one but as usual I am too late and someone else has already got it!

You were in London and you didn’t come to visit me, Chey? I am deeply hurt!

Alas, Eric if I had know you were so close I would have come by but I got myself lost and I just could not read the writing on that Sphinx. Had my human known everyone better, she probably would have asked to meet some of the London Cat bloggers. I know we were invited down to Yao-lin’s to meet him, but the humans didn’t have that much time (imagine!)

Molly, Shadow and Troo said,

Drat! We’s too late!! *sigh* The mom said when she was in London she saws them, furry impassive but not as much so when theres a Chey kitteh sittin on dem.

And yes, I am sure it was not nearly such a nice site without me.

Now, as I get lost so often, Skeezix is working on making us all better at geography. He has a great lesson here and it just happens, oddly enough to be about the sphinx that stands were I am… he did that last week too.. I wonder how he does that?

Cheysuli Part of the Catwalk of Fame

catwalk-of-fameCheysuli finally gets the recognition she deserves with this star for the Hollywood Catwalk of Fame.

“I am so honored,” Cheysuli told reporters.  “It’s finally happened.  I have my own star!”

While rumors abound that the former presidential candidate is getting large enough that she should have been awarded a black hole instead, Cheysuli seems to shrug off the negative publicity.

Such a fine looking statue. I wonder where she comes from? For that matter, do I know where I am? Drats! I got lost AGAIN?! I can’t believe it.

Thankful Thursday

img_5938aI am thankful for the variety of beds around the house so that I can lounge around. It is really the most wonderful thing.

I am fortunate that Gemini  was the correct guesser or the right visitor on Latte’s blog and I won this great bed!  I love it.  In fact, I am often found there.

We’d just like to have a shout out for more good thoughts and purrs for Miz Pet of the Bengal Brats.  Her meeting on Monday could have gone better.   Any cherky comments would no doubt be much appreciated!

We’d also like good thoughts for our Woman. Her practice has been slow and usually it picks up in February.  Even the chiropractic office has been slow this week, so we are hoping a lot of purrs will make people in North Bend ill enough to go see them…

Cheysuli Possibly Suffers from Sleeping Sickness

img_6071aFormer Presidential Candidate Cheysuli has been seen snoozing by the fireplace at all hours.  Rumors abound that she has some sort of Sleeping Sickness.  They say she rarely gets up to move.  Food has to be brought to her and put under her nose.

Other sources say that she happily gets up and chases Gemini whenever she likes, still those in the know point to how many times we see her in that same old bed.

“You’d think she’d at least change position a bit more so that we’d know she actually does move,” said one skeptic.  “I mean does she have people feeding her right there?”

Cheysuli actually commented on this, “I wish,” said the former presidential candidate.

While she is not getting any skinnier, most reports suggest that she does actually move now and then before she flops back down in front of the fire.  “Besides,” said her servant, “I’d leave the fire on all the time.  When it’s not on, she naps in her OTHER bed…”

Gemini Gets a Hand

img_6052aI am just a little bit disgusted by the hand that I am smelling. It does not smell nearly enough like me as it should. Why should I want to smell some human person when it could smell like me?

Although Momma was worried I would not like my furminator, as I am not always pleased to be brushed, I am quite liking it. I make her furminate me daily. I hate it when I miss the furmination time too. I did one night. I was so upset, I hacked up a hairball.

Anyway, it rained all afternoon here so I snoozed in front of the fire as soon as Momma had it going. No one calls me a fat cat even though I am all puffy. In fact, Momma worries that I do not weigh enough. However she says she is always watching me eat but rarely sees Cheysuli eat so she does not understand why Chey is fat and I am thin.

I think I must have a better metabolism, don’t you?  Still I think it is very poor timing to have Fat Tuesday when it should be Fat Meezer Monday…

Cheysuli Shut Out of Awards

img_6032aOnce again, former Presidential Candidate and socialite Cheysuli has been passed over by the Academy. While not a starlet in her own right, many in the high social circles that Cheysuli frequents are regularly invited to the awards. Not the former Candidate.

“It’s probably specist,” said one insider.

“I think it’s just that they are distancing themselves from her. She did run for president and she lost. Hollywood can’t abide a loser,” said another.

“Umm…maybe they don’t allow cats where they give the awards?” Suggested one blonde socialite who was invited. Fortunately there were no Cheysuli supporters nor were the Pooses for Peace represented there so she was unharmed. It has been requested that newspapers and magazines with hold her name so she is not harmed by over zealous anti-specist reformers.

Cheysuli remains unavailable for comment. Further rumors suggest that she is over eating again and that it’s this wide spread rejection that is causing her to do so. Until she gives a statement, we won’t know for sure

Sunday Guest Star

Jeter is Excited about Being Sunday Guest Star

Well no one was getting it but Jeter Harris with a little help from a friend… finally guess where I was!

ah … mais oui … yer in da old harbor towers uv la roche in western france. dere ar three medieval towers heer: the Tower de la Lanterne wich used to be a prison; the Tower de la Chaîne, which held the chain that stretched across the harbor; and the St Nicolas Tower. I don’t know why the towers don’t match.
dat’z it.
dat’z ware u ar.
yerz–jh
pee ess … hoo sed “jersey?” harharhar! i’m laffin an laffin!

In his next comment he did add that it was actually La Rochelle in France. Skeezix offers some nice history here!

Fortunately the timing was very good, else I’d have had to say Derby was the most correct cat, saying:

Mum says it is NOT Windsor Castle, she has been their and said it doesn’t fit. So we know where you are NOT, but not where you ARE.

Many cats thought I was in Ireland, Scotland or perhaps at Windsor Castle. I was actually in the Western Part of France. This grainy photo image was another of the Woman’s photos from her trek through the history of the Loire Valley in 1984. She was there because Cardinal Richelieu (remember him from the Dumas books?) was one of the architects (she thinks but he may have had something else to do with it) of one of the towers. She remembers the story of the chain tower well but lots of other stuff was lost in her memory, along with most of the French that she was required to speak (it was a French Class that went to France in January). Anyway off the coast there is a lovely island with a lovely lighthouse but she can’t remember why they went there too.

Oddly, she has not forgotten what great food she had or the nice wines. She does remember they were building the glass pyramid at the Louvre or refurbishing or something when she was there because she did not get to see it (very disappointing after it was so famous from the Da Vinci Code). She was, however in the old Roman Church that Brown mentions in his book. She did not get photos of that (which may have stumped even Skeezix!)

Fiona Bun Needs Purrs

468720848_3e7489a138Fiona Bun is sick. I am quite distressed by this as I have become terribly fond of Sophia’s buns.

Why don’t you go over  to Fiona‘s try and cherk her up and talk her into a poop or two?

Find Chey Friday

towers

Well at least here I am not right at the water’s edge for a change but I think that there is water just beyond those towers. You know, I am getting really tired of always hanging around the water. Doesn’t anyone travel to mountains any more? Well at least I’m not practically in the water this time!
