Ellie says it's impawtent to keep your toes and tummy well groomed.....Lick, lick....slurp, slurp....Why do I get the feeling I'm being watched????

Maru is having his catnip tea time. Maru’s Catnip Tea Time, originally appeard on LoveMeow.com

Friends, Quill here. I have to tell you I'm a little worried. Mr Tail seems to be, er, thinning at the tip. Even as a kitten, Mr Tail has been a problem.From the start he liked to photo bomb.He was getting so full and lush, I really thought he was going to demand his own blog. He was even in cahoots with Mom to try to get his own Twitter feed.In fuller days...Lately I've noticed he has been far less sassy. I think he might be ::Whispers:: balding.Hey Greyson? Does Mr Tail look a little thin to you?Um, er, no. Lemme look. You know, this picture may explain a lot...

Sometimes, it's very hard to choose between two different desires. The struggle can be intense. Who knows which way to go??Like today. Mom came home early, and I reallllly wanted some snorgle time. I get very enthusiastic about it; often twirling allaround her, purring up a storm. I feel it's impawtant to show your hoomin you love them,otherwise they get sad and mopey. Makes them hard to live with.But today... oh my Ceiling Cat... today she let me start onmy very special snorgling and then - furrriends, she pulled out the clippersand GAVE ME A MANICURE!Held me in confinement and everthing. It was awful.Only I wasn't done with the snorgling. I came back to her almost immediately after she let me go - actually, I escaped, I'm quite agile - for more snorgle time.Didn't feel quite right about it but.... what's a kitteh to do?Run or snorgle?

So it's me today because William got all busy visiting with his little lizard friend who stopped by on our balcony. Then Russell scared her off and William got all mad. Then my mom got a call and dinner was way late and William got all cranky over that. So here I am.
