Mostly whimsy and drivel of no consequence. And CHEESE.

Sleepy Beatrice
My cat, BeBe (that’s “Ms. Beatrice Gatto”to BMG Music Services, thank you very much), grew up with the companionship of her uncle, Bagheera (he was usually referred to as “Kitten” which made BeBe “Small Kitten” when she joined the household). She has been lacking his company for a number of months now and is lonely for feline companionship.* Since she can be a little bit of a diva, I thought it best that she be introduced to a younger cat (so she could boss it around to her hearts content).* So I picked up wee Fiona last week at the Humane Society.
Wee Fiona
Unfortunately, she has a respiratory infection and must be in QUARANTINE (I believe that QUARANTINE is a foreboding word that should always be spelled with all caps). She’s had the appropriate meds, and even when she could only breathe in a most snorfly manner (that’s the technical veterinary term) she frolicked about like there was no tomorrow. This made it VERY difficult to get a photo, especially on a camera phone. But here she is blurrily frolicking.
Peeking
Pouncing
Preparing to Scratch
Sideways
Walking About
Yes, I saved the best for last. This amazing kitten, a mere two months old, can WALK! She’s a leaping, sauntering, frolicking prodigy. I am so proud.

Cute! If I ever run across a bald cat as cute as this one, I may need to adopt it. (I hate cat hair; thus the “bald” preference.)

We just got a new cat too! We started to call her Señor Pooglins, but it wasn’t sticking, so now we’re calling her Agnes for the time being. She’s a bit of a poo menace. She fooled us into thinking that she was litter box trained, and then we woke up to li’l logs rolling around on our bed sheets. Agnes of God she ain’t. Agnes of Satan is more like it.

Though they look quite delicious IMHO these cats aren’t yet fat enough for eating. I’d wait at least a couple more months.
Cat stir-fry can be excellent. Usually I keep things simple and simply sprinkle the meat with garlic, salt and pepper. Stirring in some paprika and adding chopped bell peppers can bring some much-needed color.
If you have any personal tips on how to prepare a good cat casserole or baked dish I’d definitely be interested.
