Suspicious

A Wizard cat...
A Magic cape...
A bunch of dried herbs...
 
I wouldn't eat those apples if I were you...

The Wizard's Cat

Long before the days of Harry Potter, a little girl had a magic cape.  Made of luxurious blue-black velvet and studded with gold velvet stars, it had the power to transform the wearer into fairy tale beings: a gypsy and fortune teller, a queen and maker of poison apples, a sleeping princess, and a wizard mouse to name just a few.
 
Eventually the little girl grew up and the magic cape went to live with some other little girls.  It was played with until the edges frayed and washed until the black velvet faded to midnight blue although the stars glimmered as brightly as ever.  Finally those little girls grew up too.
 
But still the cape had some magic left in the seams and it flew back to the grown up girl who first owned it.  As soon as it came into her house, it was immediately claimed by a furry little girl.
 
 
 I think dis is my color!

Go away Naja, dis is mine!

Be afraid, be very afraid!

Oh boy, sumfing decent to scratch at last!

Birthday Girls

HAPPY BIRTHDAY NAJA AND PRISHE
 
Do you think they cared that the 'cake' was just the same old catfood they get every day?
 
 
Not a chance!
 
 
Ever the lady, Naja chews her food before swallowing...
 
But Miss Greedalox has already inhaled hers.....
 
and then licks the carpet in case there are crumbs.

Water Baby

Prishe has recently developed a fixation with playing in the water bowl.  She dips her paw in the water and tries to catch the ripples.  She shakes her paw out, slinging water everywhere, and then tries to catch the beads of water on on the floor.  She has managed to turn over or empty all of the water from the bowls as she plays this fascinating game.  
On Saturday, Jellicle was hand washing some delicate fabrics in a tub on the kitchen counter.  Leaving the clothes to soak a bit, she left the room.   A few minutes later, loud thumps and bangs drew her back to the kitchen.  There sat Prishe, in a pool of sudsy water that she had sloshed out of the tub, trying to get the taste of TIDE off of her tongue.  
Prishe left the laundry alone after that but that gave Jellicle an idea!  To distract Prishe from her obsession with the water bowl, Jellicle placed a shallow tub of water on the kitchen floor so the Water Baby could play to her heart's content.
Naja: Look at dis big bowl of water!
Prishe:  Watch dis Naj, put your right paw in.
Prishe:  Put your left paw out!
Prishe:  Turn yourself around and shake it all about!
Naja:  But I dun wanna get my paws wet! Water is for drinking!
Prishe: Look dis funny fish swimming in the water!
Prishe pulls the toys out of the water and carries them off to the kitty room.

It is a good thing Jellicle doesn't have an aquarium!

The Kitteh Guide to Home Decor

Today's topic:
Accessories!
 
Accessories are a great way to add a pop of color to a neutral room.
 
Color: Can either contrast or compliment Kitteh fur.

Clever use of pattern can do both!
 
Height:  Some designers advise varying the height of objects to create interest.
Kittehs advise that objects that are too small will be knocked onto the floor.
 
Function:  Good design is a marriage of both function and form.
Any object can be decorative but not everything makes a good bed!
 
Comfort:  An very important aspect of function.
 When choosing accessories ask yourself if the Kitteh will find it comfortable.
 
Good design doesn't always have to be practical; Art should always strive for a higher purpose...
such as providing hours of Kitteh entertainment!
