You know what? Today is Friday! Whoo! Hoo! And not a bad start to the day, either. Plenty of sunshine, with it not too hot, nor too cold.

Hey. Want to see how I spent a good portion of my afternoon yesterday? Here.

Yep. That’s just a sliver of sunlight in my bedroom. But the best part? I didn’t have to chase it across the room. It just stayed there for quite some time, so I was able to grab a pretty good chunk of snooze.

The rest of my day? Not much to talk about. Got my Sailing Solution – and again, I was a good boy. In fact, I was so good? (How good were you?!) I was so good, FP put a little bit of cheese on top of my wet food, warmed it up and let me have at it. Yum! I luuuuve cheese. Oh, and AH let me lick his plate after he had his taco stuff. So, that was cheese, sour cream and a bit of taco spice. Double Yum!

So, I guess upon further review, yesterday was a pretty good day. I hope today is the same.

That’s a wrap for another week. Have a great Friday, a wonderful weekend and I’ll see you on Monday.

A strange thing happened to me yesterday. Well, two strange things, to be honest.

First? When it came time for me to go outside – and yes, there’s a routine in the evening so I know when it is – I came downstairs with every intention of going out. But I jumped onto my favorite bar stool, and instead of going outside? I took a nap.

Think about that. I was given every opportunity to go outside, and I declined. (but I did have a good nap, so all wasn’t lost)

Second strange thing? FP packed up her big, black box yesterday morning and I didn’t even notice. But even stranger still? AH talked her into coming home for the night, so it was like she never packed it in the first place.

Does that make any sense? No? Well, you’re reading a cat’s blog so maybe I’m asking the wrong humans on what does and does not make sense.

The rest of my day? Pretty normal, and I’ll take that. Got plenty of wetfood, and all of my medicine. And I need to tell you, while my allergy pills make me sleepy … that’s a heckuva lot better than itching all the time.

And that’s all I have today. I know. I know. Short fare. I’ll gladly refund your membership dues should you feel I’m not meeting your standards.

Have a great day, and I’ll see you tomorrow.

A couple quick links today. To get you on your way. OK? (Hey. I can rhyme anytime.)

First – and I could’ve really gone off on this one, but decided not to … for now – some clownstein in New Zealand (whereever that is) is looking to ban cats. That’s correct. Banning them. As in getting rid of them. All of them. Pet cats included. Why? Because of his freakin’, precious birds.

Just one problem, though.

New Zealanders love their felines, with one study estimating that they have the highest rate of cat ownership in the world.

Here’s the link to the story, as right now they’re looking to study the issue.

Regular readers know my position on issues such as this – who in the bleep decided YOU get to determine who stays or goes on this planet? Hmmm?

OK. Enough of that. Better stuff!

There’s a new batch of kittehs! at The Critter Room.

Apparently, these are named after a TV show – Mythbusters – and I don’t know all the details, but apparently one of the main characters on the show watches the Kitten Cam. How cool is that?

Anyway, they’re a week old and will be around for awhile. Check it out.

Lastly, I thought I’d share a pic of what it looks like outside my bedroom sniffing window right now.

Looks like it’s time for me to get outside this evening, huh? Yeah, that’s what I thought, too.

Have a great day, and I’ll see you tomorrow.

OK. It’s been awhile, but it’s Public Service Day here at Wumpus Central.

With it being spring and all that, I thought it might be a good time to share an article I came across the other day.

The tease, as they say?

During high kitten season in the spring and summer, it’s not unusual to discover a nest of unattended kittens or a single kitten seemingly abandoned by the mother. You want to help, right? Before jumping to the rescue, consider these recommendations.

I’m not going to pull the whole piece, but you really should read it all. Even I learned some things I didn’t know before.

Here’s the link. Go ahead. Read it. I’ll be here when you get back.

In other news? I got my Sailing Solution last night, and yes. I was a good cat. Oh, and I got to go outside for a bit, as well. So, a pretty routine day. And you know what? I’ll take that every time.

So, that’s it for today. I know. I know. Not much. But you should really read that link.

Have a wonderful day – and Hello to my new readers, as always – and I’ll see you tomorrow.

Feh. Monday. And it’s cloudy.

OK. That’s not the way to start the week, is it? Of course not.

Hey. It’s Monday! Whoo! Hoo! And all that warmth and sunshine we’ve had for the last couple weeks? Be gone with you! Bring back the clouds. And the rain, natch. Now, we’re talkin’.

Actually, it’s not that bad. Pretty good snoozin’ weather, if you ask me.

And how was your weekend? Good, I hope. My was fine. Didn’t get to go outside, but I didn’t ask to go out, either. And? I’ve been doing much, much better with my itching … as in I almost don’t scratch at all anymore. Yay me!

And that’s about it for today. BUT! I shall leave you with a pic.

As long-time readers know, I’ve always been a good cat. As in, I never climbed onto the counters, the bar or any of the other places where I was forbidden. However, as I’m getting up there in years? And I don’t give a rip anymore?

Yeah. It’s my house, too, peeps. Deal with it.

Have a great day, and I’ll see you tomorrow.
