Mittens' diary

I am sitting in the office and swiping the floor with my tail...this is not a sign of impatience but rather an introspection / inspirational moment...i think i found paradise...I heard someone talking about this Temple in India dedicated to rats...Hello Happinesss! This place was made for me. Do you think it might drive me nuts?...like a new drug on my brain..too much stimulation...the view of thousands of rats eating and drinking offerings...Unless this veneration would appease my hunt instinct and bring me back to this place of introspection - swiping the floor with my tail - sitting in awe!

It's election time AGAIN in the beautiful city and we are on information overload over here! Granted i don't give a flying f***k about the issues...these are my housemates concerns...however the other day a proposition came to my attention...something to do with cruelty to dogs...right there my ears got all erected if i can say! This proposition is about stopping the cruelty to dogs whose owners make them wear costums....Are you kidding this is my favorite entertainment!...and as i revealed in my last post - i've got an issue with a new neighbor's dog....so after consulting with my sidekick "Happy-Go-Lucky" we decided that campaigning against the ban would be our biggest contribution to the hood! First, let's post signs on our neighbors lawn against the proposition. Second, let's remind the neighbor - this is the land of the free! And having his doggy wearing a bat costum or even better a CAT WOMAN costum is of hight importance!!!

So it is a new year and my goal is to craft new super powers...

Do you know what i am talking about??? it means i had a cold - like most of you, right? then i thought it was over - but NOOOOO...it's whipping my ass back into my system...therefore Whiplash...you purist linguist can argue with my use of language..it does make sense to me and the result is: i'm on the carpet, breathing heavily (not for good reasons!) and my brain ain't working!!! I take it as an experiment...it is bringing me closer to my sidekick (Whiplash) who seems to be constantly on drugs so i'm on cold medicine! The world is much slower - hunting adventures are not so attractive and i feel naked (therefore i feel cold). Wow...i am talking to myself? it sounds like i am in an empty cave...my echo is catching up with me....Boy, i understand now why they ask for your I.D when you go buy that shit at the store!!

So it is December - i totally missed the harvest...and now what do i see on my front yard? Santa Clause's Reindeers...lit, animated...Ready to take off...And the WHOLE neighborhood is competing...night is not night anymore...the street looks like a take-off lane at the airport. So my nights are BUSY - (days are for sleeping)...i get to ride Santa's reindeer...This is like being at the "Happiest Place on Earth"!

But seriously, i have to get to know that species so we can bond- you know? We share the same lawns every year for a short while - they are kind of the elite - crème de la crème would say my french housemate: They've been chosen to be on that Santa's team...pretty special..they go to flying school part of the year, then it is matting season...oh boy, you don't want to be there...i don't know those antlers they freak me out, and comes the migration...so the ones ending up in my front yard are pretty lucky: warm weather, safe - no predators only friendly faces....actually the ones coming to California go to modeling school too...they just luuuve that camera, man...Every shot is a keeper...

I do!!! You know one of my house mate is French...so there's no question..i'm going to have to - how do you say - give it my sensory examination and say something intelligent like: it has notes of currant, raspberry and black currant...oh shoot...i let the cat out of the bag...

I am frivolous and mind my own business but when comes election day..i stand on my lawn, watch for foot traffic since ...my street leads to the polls...so i am for maximum voters participation...I can strut around like...well MYSELF...and take the pulse of the pedestrians. Now i am wondering...what do people get for voting???
A prize, a toy (like in the Happy Meal)??

My last adventure in my backyard consisted of climbing that tree - that i love dearly - and checking out what was alive there...and guess what? there was a nest! Now that gives me the goosebumps, my blood goes up and down and my tail is frantically guiding me to THE NEST...so as nonchalant as i can be..i approached the living quarters of Twitty bird. That's when big mama paid attention and attacked me!!! These magpie are CRRRRRAZZZZY.....she's what? the size of a chick pea compare to me but you know what??? she's got some kind of missile firing ability...oh my! i was aiming straight for the ground and even the ground was not enough to hide. I had to imitate a missile flying 2 inches from the ground! That was PART ONE!!!

Because i am a feline in demand - i was invited to a great show saturday - yes I do venture outside my pasture once in a blue moon.
That was pretty special. What does Bandaloop sound to you? No, it's not a bandana to wear around your head. I'll give you a hint...it takes very flexible bodies, climbing and dancing...you shake those 3 and you've got a great performance!
