What Well-Dressed Crazy Cat Ladies Are Wearing...

Lookit' that cute mug!

Today Mommy will leave our little corner of O Hi O for Columbus and the excitement that is BlogPaws! She's going to be wearing me (and a little of my furs) on her shirt. She promises lots of photos and a few Twitters too!

Tattle Tail Tuesday - C.C.L.

It is no secret to anyone who knows my Mommy that she holds the feline population very close to her heart. As a result, many friends and family frequently give the gift of "kitty" to her on special occasions. Since my Mommy is a squillion years old, she has a vast collection of kitty (and doggy) holiday ornaments. Because of these cherished gifts, we have our very own tree. The main tree is in the foyer and our tree is in the living room decorated with kitty and doggie goodness. You are invited to biggify for extra oohs and aahs if you are like-minded. Anyway, there is a tattle tail point to this long story...

Last week, there was a holiday fair where Mommy works. One big table was chock-full of kitty and doggie stuff. So you can guess where Mommy was - she was mooning over all of the potential goodies that Santa might bring us if we are good...ahem...

Anyway, unbeknownst to Mommy, there was a news photographer shooting photos for a story about the fair. She later walked up to Mommy and asked her about the festivities. Mommy, being the good employee, waxed on about the charity that this fair will benefit, how much it is needed, etc., etc. AND at the end she mentioned that the kitty toy she was eyeing up might be enjoyed by moi!
So...do you think that the news photographer put Mommy's photo in the paper and quoted her on the charity and how much good it was doing the community? OR did she put Mommy's photo in the paper quoting her saying "oooh, my cat would LOVE this toy"? If you guessed the cat toy quote, you win!

Later that evening, Daddy read the newspaper article and said, "well ...if there was ever any doubt in town that you are a C.C.L. (crazy cat lady), it's gone now." It was not long after that comment that Daddy got a little bop on the head. Hee-Hee!!
Tattle Tail Smoochies,

It's The Desktop Meme!

That handsome, sweet-talking, rakish tabby Tripper the Psycho Stray Cat (Holy cats, that's a mouthful!) tagged me for the Desktop Meme that is going around. Me and Mommy tried to follow the directions and pressed the key we were supposed to press (Print scrn key). Nothing. Nada. Zippo. Mommy tried to do this BEFORE she had coffee and we thought that was why we couldn't figure it out. So she left to go and hunt and told me she would try to do it with her work computer. Yep, you guessed it, she still couldn't get it right. So after she said some of the words on the bad word list, she just snapped a photo of her desktop at work. See me? I am her background at work! She also has about a squillion photos of me and my sibs as her screensaver. She can look at us all day at her hunting place. She also has the Bad Cats Page A Day Calendar. Do you see the wooden squirrel on her desk with the flag? Can you read the flag? Can you guess what Mommy does for a living? I'm not supposed to give out that type of information 'cause Mommy says it's T.M.I. for the innernets - don't worry Mommy, my lips are sealed!

But anyhow, here are the rules!

Upon receiving this tag, immediately perform a screen capture of your desktop. It is best that no icons be deleted before the screen capture so as to add to the element of fun. Here’s how you can do a screen capture:

1.Go to your desktop and press the Print Scrn key (located on the right side of the F12 key).

2.Open a graphics program (like Picture Manager, Paint, or Photoshop) and doing a Paste(CTRL + V). If you wish, you can “edit” the image before saving it.

3.Post the picture on your blog. You can also give a short explanation on the look of your desktop if you want. You can explain why you prefer such a look or why it is full of icons. Things like that.

4.Tag five of your friends and ask them to give you a Free View of their desktops as well.

I am not tagging anyone, 'cause I think I am the last kitty to do this, but - if you haven't done it yet - TAG! You are it!

5.Add your name to the list of Free Viewers with a link pointing directly to your Desktop Free View post to promote it to succeeding participants.
