Just the Right Size: Gratuitous Kitteh Monday
http://www.justtherightsize.net/2015/08/gratuitous-kitteh-monday_10.html
Monday, August 10, 2015. Chaz is our official water kitteh around here. He's fascinated by all things that contain water: showers, sinks, toilets. He doesn't drink out of the toilet, mind you, he just likes to watch the water. We tried to use one of those kitteh watering fountains once and he was so enamored with it that he kept knocking it over, spilling the water everywhere. Silly kitteh, looks like he went on a bender and had a rough night, huh? Too much nip. :-). Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Monday, August 31, 2015. He keeps trying, but Miss Thang still gives him the business when Leo tries to play with her. She is taking her own sweet time on being nice. She will tolerate him being around her, and will even let him eat out of her bowl, but if he tries to play, she is sure to give him a solid bop on the head with her paw and some choice words. Also, I can't get over how long his tail is! Wednesday, August 26, 2015. Recipe source: Garden Guru from The Cooking Forum. 1 tsp baking powder. Mix f...
