For Ilanna

Cat as Counter Appliance

Cat as Slinky or Cat as Inchworm

One kitten takes up three stairs.

Ilanna said...: It's SLINKY SLInKY the most incredible toy... it's slinky it's slinky fun for girls and for boys!!

(not sure if that's the exact song - but close enough.) It's amazing to me how animals can somehow multiply the space the occupy to take up more room than physics should rightly allow.

Great shot mary! (and thanks for my morning crack. :) ); 10:11 AM
minijaxter said...: mary that cat is the cutest.

i am so glad you were able to find him.

hugs; 12:42 PM
mary bishop said...: I had to laugh when he was taking up three stairs as if he were a slinky!

Slinkies never stayed in shape for me, I'd play with them once or twice and they'd be pulled apart and wouldn't work anymore...; 12:43 PM
mary bishop said...: Thanks Mini...who knew I would find the cat of my dreams even though he's much fresher than the cat of my dreams...!; 12:43 PM

I'm developing an odd hobby as I visit your blog. I'm actually getting a kick out of tracking down the text the spam is using.
God is my life that empty?; 5:04 AM
mary bishop said...: Gavin, if you think your life is empty, I'm kind of happy to get some spam as I don't get many visitors!

I personally hate those word verifications - most of the letters on my computer keyboard have rubbed off (thanks Dell) and the only way I can use it is to fall back into my old rote typing ways...to type out ZZYZEYJJI just to say a quick hi, it takes me an hour!; 7:35 AM
Anonymous said...: Hi MB!!

It made me SAD to hear you say you don't get many visitors!!

I visit your blog EVERY day, but I don't always have anything to say, and I bet others visit frequently too!! Your blog is always interesting to read!

Anyway, the kitty pix are very cute, and I can see why you enjoy him.

Hope all is well with you!

I get to see Sammy this Sat nite......can't wait!!!

Love,
