Six months with stripes

This past Sunday marked six months with the kittens and I am filled with much love and gratefulness that this amazing duo entered my life. Losing my pup Andi has made me very aware of how precious these relationships with our animals are. A friend recently coined it in a piece of mixed-media art she gave me as a "limited time offer." It's a phrase so overused, it become meaningless until you place it in a different context. There is not a day that goes by that I am not thankful for happiness these tabbies have brought me. Happy six months to my sweet babies.

In honor of our half year together, I am reposting some cat Haiku poems that have circulating on the Internet for years. I don't know who to attribute them to, but appreciate this person immensely for getting it just right.

Cat Haikus

You never feed me.
Perhaps I'll sleep on your face.
That will sure show you.
-
You must scratch me there!
Yes, above my tail!
Behold, elevator butt.
-
The rule for today
Touch my tail, I bite your hand.
New rule tomorrow.
-
In deep sleep hear sound
cat vomit hairball somewhere
will find in morning.
-
Grace personified.
I leap into the window.
I meant to do that.
-
Blur of motion, then-
silence, me, a paper bag.
What is so funny?
-
The mighty hunter
Returns with gifts of plump birds-
your foot just squashed one.
-
You're always typing.
Well, let's see you ignore my
sitting on your hands.
-
My small cardboard box.
You cannot see me if I
can just hide my head.
-
Terrible battle.
I fought for hours. Come and see!
What's a 'term paper'?
-
Small brave carnivores
Kill pine cones and mosquitoes
Fear vacuum cleaner
-
I want to be close
to you. Can I fit my head
inside your armpit?
-
Oh no! Big One
has been trapped by newspaper!
Cat to the rescue!
-
Humans are so strange.
Mine lies still in bed, then screams
My claws are not that sharp.
-
Cats meow out of angst
"Thumbs! If only we had thumbs!
We could break so much!"
-
We're almost equals
I purr to show I love you
Want to smell my butt?

Happy Birthday Audrey Rose!

Audrey Rose Georges turned one year old today. Her mom, Angela, made this wonderful invitation for the occasion and has done an excellent job of documenting Audrey from a positive pregnancy test to her most recent milestone, taking her first steps, through her blog, My Daily Struggle . This is one well-documented and adored kid and I hope Angela and Papa Tim congratulate themselves on 12 months of excellent hard work. Audrey is a little superstar.

"It's too close for comfort, this heat has got right out of hand"

Does anyone remember the video for this song. It was so stupid. The Banarama girls were being followed by a trucker and they threw some banana peels on his windshield -- like that would stop him. Any other '80s fans out there remember any more details? I still loved the group and still love the song. I actually have this single on vinyl -- just like the picture. Tomorrow will be a beast. Today the air conditioning was like the Little Engine that Could except this little engine never made it over the hill. The dog pants all the time like she can never quite catch her breath and outside it is just nasty. Even at midnight tonight it was still 85 degrees and a super sauna outside. I have an elaborate system of fans set up in the bedroom and it helps. Andi even has her own fan and she sleeps jacked up right next to it. To add insult to injury, K called me at work frantic last night, "THERE IS A POSSUM IN THE BASEMENT!" If that exclamation doesn't typify the deep south I d...
