Where are you right now? Are you where if you faint, you will land safely?
It’s just that I haven’t posted in too long and, really, I have nothing especially significant to say for myself or for the boys, particularly.
I mean, things are pretty much situation-normal here.
Like, they’re still bouncing each others’ heads off the floor.
From time to time.
So.
Actually stuff has happened, but I’m too tired right now to tell you about it. I will, probably over the weekend.
So.
Are you getting the sense that I’m filling up band-width with blather? To avoid getting to something?
You’d be right.
I have a picture for you that might cause you to lose consciousness.
Sudden blood rush to the head. Like that.
So are you ready? Are you in a safe space? Soft landing?
OK. Here it is. Without further ado.
I mean, I’m not going to write any more words about this.
I’m just going to put up the picture.
Oh-KAY awready.
Here it is.
catself 
I am pole-axed at your incredibly cute cat picture. <:-D
Have they been studying your header? !! Wowsers!
So nice to see you here. I'm pretty sure just stopping in, with no words, would be quite nice for us. I, for one, have missed you.
Awww, that pic of you and Bugsy, of the horrible gray butt and shoulders. …
Oh Lahgitana. You are priceless. I’m so enjoying this comment. That is amazing about the header, isn’t it. Bugsy gives, there — and receives here. Round and round the merry-go-round turns, goes the carousel. Joni Mitchell again! And thank you for the encouragement about the no words. Inspires me to another post, possibly very soon. Wow, horrible gray Bugsy. You have been reading! I am moved, I tell you!
Your expressed, in those several posts about Bugsy going walkabout–under the house!!– very well the part of you that was furious with him for doing that! Bad kitty! I laughed every time I encountered that: horrible gray [fill in the body part], but I absolutely understood!
One time, on the 2400-mile drive from the Pacific Northwest to Alaska, my other kitty Ticker, went walkabout at a rest stop in the middle of flippin’ nowhere Yukon Territories! When I found HER horrible stripey butt, she had been sitting under a huge leaf, not 5 feet from me. Oh how hard I tried to keep the fearful fury out of my voice as I quietly walked through the vegetation, softly saying her name IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FREAKIN NOWHERE OF YUKON TERRITORIES!!!
Oh yes–what the others say. Apparently we are so taken with your cats that we want pictures. We like you fine, but pics of cats bouncing heads off floors or “all brokeback mouser”? No contest! We’ll fill in the captions, even! >:-D
Oooo, ooo, did you see that Deirdre is collecting stories for Cat Theatre?! I believe you qualify! nice kitty bad kitty! http://wp.me/P14ggD-gB HEY everybody else–YOU go too and leave a link!!
forgot to mention: I love how the colors sorta remained the same in the two headers. Awwww…. spooky. Otherworldly really….
Oh lord Lahgitana. How your comment brings it all back. Sheesh. These kitties. They give me heart attacks. Yukon Territory. That’s a lotta ground to cover, like.
It is weird, the similarity, isn’t it. I mean, the whole living room has walls the same color, and B&F were on the east wall in Top Shelf and B&B were on the north wall in Crate Bed — but still. Your point! Like Bugsy did absorb some of Fangie’s sweetness, there. Well — Bugsy has plenty of his own. But this particular face . . . . Eerie, as you say.
That. is awesome! What a sweet sweet picture. I think when you’re ready, that should be your new header.
You know, Andrea, I had the same thought about the header. But I am so not ready, as you intuit.
Perhaps a photo mosaic or collage? Of cats and toys and Shiva Mousies, oh my!?
You can have more than one header, and it will swap between them randomly
We share the same template and you know how it looks on my blog. No need to ever put Fang entirely aside.
Well yes, Oldcat! Great idea! And isn’t it odd, but I never noticed we use the same theme. So does littlemaio, too. That’s interesting, never to have noticed that until now. It’s funny the way our personalities fill the space and make each one so different.
Let me see about the swapping headers. I like that idea. And I love what you say, it sounds like a little poem: NO NEED TO EVER PUT FANG ENTIRELY ASIDE. Will never never happen. Wasn’t it you, Oldcat, who said something about a cat-sized hole in the heart? I can go on living with that hole, but it will never be filled.
Yes, the cat-shaped hole in the heart. I didn’t invent that one, it came from a CD of alternative music I got years ago, around the time I lost one of my own cats.

Awwwww, I needn’t that :-0
🙂
Wow, what a beautiful picture…
This picture is just marvelous, so sweet! Barney seems to be a reincarnated person, who brings his sweetness and wiseness. I really love your boys!
Thank you, you both. These pictures — I feel like I’m an empty vessel here! These boys just come through, for us all, right? And looloo — yes yes yes. I really do get that feeling from Barney. He is just scrumptious-wise. What a mix of attributes he brings. He amazes me.
HOW do you get your cats to do that?? The ONE time I caught Stripey and Mojo all brokeback mouser, Stripey made me swear NEVER to tell anyone EVER cos of the potential damage to his rep as a kickass kitty about town. Mojo wasn’t so hung up about it.
Honest, minlit, they just do it, all by themselves — and I’m just lucky to be on the spot for it, from time to time. And then, of course, they go right back to bouncing each others’ heads off the floor. And if anybody thinks I’m kidding, you know I’m not! I fear brain damage. Stripey knows. And Mojo’s cool.
(Brain damage can be gotten ’round. ahem!) Where’s the pic?!
You oughta know!! 🙂 And as for a pic, well, they move kinda fast . . . . Maybe — OH SLAP MY MOUTH FOR EVEN SAYING THIS — but maybe, now that I’m on the lookout for a pic, they will STOP FIGHTING. They are cats, after all. Do the opposite of what the beans want.
Nah. Not this time.
Wanna bet?
Can’t take the bet, sorry no. They’re Cats. We are Insignificant.
Prescient, dear one. Watch for the next post.
aww! so sweet! can i join in the group hug… lovely pic.
Totally. Welcome to the group. No group too big for a group hug.
What a beautiful picture! 🙂
I hope you’re doing good, Anita!
Doing so, dear Dianda. Doing so. Thank you.
Just unbelievable… And so crazy QUICK!! I want to squish their fluffy faces. 🙂
SNORT. And dang, hasn’t it been quick? Like maybe just exactly one month, ONLY. Amazing.
Awww! definitely group hug time!! ((♥))
PS Head bouncing is going to be an olympic sport in Rio!!!
My boys are in training. Rigorous training. No wait, I guess that would be “rigourous.” Hmm. WP puts a red line under that one.
It would for me too!!! We don’t put a gratuitous u in every word you know!! We’re quite picky 😉
Ah. OK. Live and lurn.
Awwwwww
Oh for pete’s sake. I wanted another little smiley-face & WP won’t let me. Says it’s duplicative. So I’ll use words, then: SMILEY-FACE. (Take that, WP.)
Puuuurfect! Just like my sickly sweet pair. Battle, battle, cuddle, cuddle. Ya gotta wonder sometimes.
I won’t mention the antics that woke me up this morning.
One can only imagine.
I do believe I posted pictures of the antic in question, months ago. It’s not nearly as amusing when performed on top of your sleeping body at 5, 7 and 8 am. Sigh.
My sympathies. Three times, huh.
Ha! Yes, My legs aren’t just their choice boudior, but the bordello, too. I should give up my comfy knee-pillow perhaps?
Sounds like a plan. Bordello. Goodness sakes. X-rated.
It IS.
I missed you (the 3 of you, to be more specific)! How can you say nothing is such a wordy way? How can you entertain me so much with so few words? I love this. And then… BAM! An AMAZING picture like that! I don’t think your preparation was enough for my heart! Ha ha! Off to the next post I go…(sorry I was late for the party…)
Any time you show up, dear Ivy, it’s a party. Saying nothing in a wordy way. My work here is done.
So sweet! Kitshka and I do that often now too =^.^=
Purrs
Love it. Only thing is, I want to dive in myself. And you can see from the next post what Bugs would have to say about that.
I can almost hear Barney saying “I TOLD you he’d give in after a while!”. LOL! That Barney really IS an old soul!
Fills my eyes with tears of happiness!
Sometimes words aren’t needed, a picture says it all. They’re so sweet and adorable 🙂
