Cerulean

I have decided that I want a new pet. My humans aren't enough. I was thinking something kind of small...Rattitude inspired me. So why not a blue hamster!!! Everyone can use a blue hamster. I just wish she talked a little more...

I may not be on here long today, would you mind offering Cerulean a strawberry for me?

Sez You?

My human is running around like crazy, so I have dodged onto the computer while I had the chance.

Okay, I have been thinking about this whole entrecard and sezwho thing. I noticed some of you are participating and was curious as to your thoughts on it. All I really know about it is that there were some technical problems with it and entrecard over the weekend? The other thing I noticed is that it seems to be a rating system?

I have not activated or brought it onto this blog basically because of the later point. I do not know about rating other cat's posts or comments. This begins to feel like competitive blogging. I just want to go along in my fashion, reading what you have to say. Sometimes I comment (if I have something good or thoughtful to say), sometimes I don't. And I am not an everyday blogger 'cause I take the weekends off and occasionally I just can't get past my human to put something up. What drew me to blogging is the idea that it is sort of like a web journal of the everyday, but one in which others are invited along for the ride. Sometimes I have brilliant days, and on others, not so...well, you get the point. I am not sure I need to be reminded that I am having an off day at those times. To me , it seems like it takes the joy out of it.

But, I am open to other points of view...

The Cold Box Meme

Back to basics and the regular stuff on my blog. Huge thank you for all the comments on my doodles last week. It has quite encouraged me!

One thing that I am soooo late with is that the good folks and cats behind Karen & Gerard Zemek's blog tagged me for the Cold Box Meme (yeah, I know, bad kitty and all that for taking this long to post it...)


Here are the directions for the cold box meme:

Show us a photo of the front of your Cold Box and tell us about at least one thing on it and one thing you keep inside of it! Tag your friends and remember to stay COOL! Here is our Cold Box!

So let's see...the above picture is our cold box. My food dish sits beside it as, does the heater, which is in storage for the season. We live in a one room cottage, so storage is at a premium (so my human tells me). When it comes to what is on the front of the cold box...nothing...but on the side of it (my feeding side) are printed out copies of old photos of my Pops (my human's father - we all miss him very much since he passed away), my Pops with my Mim (my human's mother) and a picture of my human, Mim and my human uncle.

My FAVORITE thing inside the Cold Box is my smelly goodness!!! My human refused to photograph it (IT IS NOT GROSS!!!!) and then there is something about free advertising for the pet food company...

Okay - I tag:

Cat-astrophe - Doodle Evil

The most evil thing I could think of that affects me is an empty food bowl. Food bowls should never ever be empty. There is truly nothing worse than expecting to find you bowl to be full of crunchy goodness (except in the morning when we get smelly goodness)...and it is empty. I don't care if my human just hasn't gotten around to filling it or if Killer snuck in and ate everything - EVIL, I say!!!

Catalonia - Doodle Vacation

Well, even if I'm not there (I wish I was - minus the travel issues of getting there), hello Catalonia. That sounds like a great destination for a cat, doesn't it? I actually know nothing about Spain, but I hear the catnip is plentiful there.

My Catnip -Doodle Garden

Well...I'm an indoor sort of girl so the only garden I know is the potted plants by the fireplace. They smell so good...heavenly...la...la...la...how I love my catnip!!!

I'm a little discouraged by the lack if Mr. Linky use...so I wonder if it is not working right. If you tried to leave a link yesterday and could not let me know.

Also, if you came for the art feature...the regular postings will resume next week.
