Tip Toe Through The Tomatoes

Summer Solstice, sun rays to lounge in and organicat vine ripened tomatoes - catzowey summer is here! So when this health conscious authoriCATive kitten selects the delicat fruits of the season, I take care to pawsatively choose the finest of the vines.



Be wise like an owl (WHO?) and check your produce PURRfectly. Don't be afraid to get in touch with your tomato - visit all sides of it from all sides.



And what to create with my vine ripens? Pots of Puttanescat red sauce,Seafood catserole, Tomato infused catnip soufle or forgot putting your paws to work have fun - big beefy tomatoes make great hockey pucks!


Ciao and Meow and wishing you terrific tomato shopping!

Lady Catterly's Love Goes Catzowey

CATSCANDALOUS is the movie theme and my smitten kitten ears perked when I heard about the new Lady Chatterly flick being released. And my wild whiskers went on point just thinking about the beautiful aristoCat heroine and the nimble not-so-Tom Kitty-dude in the flick. So what does a mighty maverick meowster do to sooth his woes? Hit the wine bottle - OR did it hit me??






If I'm going to meet the Signorina Catterly, I guess I should brush up and brush my molars but how to get this tube open??











Ah Ha, maybe I need to forego the feline formalities, after all I'm Guido The Italian Kitty. Purrhaps it is big time best if I just act naturally, you know, my paws up and my Catitude at full mast - I'll win her kitten Catterly heart and Catcapture her into my welcoming pawsatively mighty meowster paws.

A Summer tale tip for you: do your catzowey best and give someone a kitty hug!

Ciao and Meow,

Shop Till The Paws Drop

What do you do when you need a perk up? GO SHOPPING! So off I went to Union Square and being the envirocat that I am (and hope you are) I took along my own cloth shopping bag - such a blissful blue color don't you think?


Popped out my MasterCat card and PURRchased these widdle wed wocks at Neiman Meowcuss for my flower vase and had a kittenish time trying to arrange them - definitely the sales tag should say "recommended for consumers over 2 feet tall".











Mama mia and a double catzowey - shopping is pawsatively exhausticating. True blue to the saying, I shopped AND dropped (no not my blue bag, but my smitten kitten self), zeroing in for a landing on the sofa sunray. Great time to replenish my catatonic electrolytes - you know, that DNA that keeps me PURRky and on my paws. All Italians take afternoon naps, haven't you heard it's the vida di Italia! What other way of life is there????










Wishing you a blissful week!

Meowvalous Week Kicking Back The Paws

Recovering from my 1st birthday soiree, it was necessicat that I kicked back this week doing nothing, which is sort of what I normally do, but I managed to do more of nothing in a grander way. Watched Desperate Catwives from my favorite Not-Flicks CATalogue starring Eva Longtailgoria and Billy-Bob Bird. And I caught Pirates of the Caribbean - don't you think those swash buckling dudes look like the Three Mouseketeers .. I mean Musketeers? Johnny Depp has catitude that rocks my paws and has the women Purring too.

Speaking of Desperate Catwives - my new neighbor brought her diva paws over to borrow a cup of catnip. Catzowey, she could use an Extreme Makeover!


Next week I expect to be wound up again and entangled in my multitude of kitten antics.

Ciao & Meow to you,

Spectacu-Cat 1st Birthday Celebration

Life has changed drasticatically since I was adopted from the the San Fran SPCA where I began life as an inky dinky kitten. But with my Italian genes and gusto galore, I now resemble an ocelot, I'm packing on the pounds (went from 2 lbs to 12+ and still eating Pesto Pizza) and I am finally ONE year old, which only occurs once in your life. Categorically speaking I have 9 lives but I still PURRportedly turn ONE only once. So this momentous meowster occasion was deemed the time to party but catzowey, it takes some planning I found out, and it pooped me out in the end.




Flowers ordered, check the water ... no fish or PURRposterous uninvited critters in sight! Party plans can progress.










Move on over Martha Stewart and Bare Pawed Contessa - my plates are politiCATically recycled and I swear by my kitten striped seat I have sat on every plate and they can now be re-used. That's recycling at it's best!

















Birthday Rule 101: Hug your gifts and listen for any suspicious ticking noises. Not knowing what I was in store for (hey the box postmark was Oh Hi Ho), I donned my Commando-Cat jacket, a Kitty Couture gift from my beloved Kitty sitter.














This Italian kitty has gourmet whiskers and didn't want cannoli's or cake cuz I demandacatted the Planet's yummiest most delicate desert from American Cupcakes . Who wouldn't want these little cups O' cream whose logo says"lick frosting"! So I followed the bakers' orders and licked to my kittens content.




















Paula Abdul and Simon too would give my soiree a 10-Paws Up and Platinum Purrfect score until.......







I passed out at my party! Hey, this smitten kitten was zonkered, so I curled up amongst all the guests and entered a deep sleep dreaming of buttery cupcake frosting entangled in my whiskers. Now that's the PURRfect catnap.






Was the "Birthday Boy" hat really necessary?













Abundacat thanks to YOU for catributions to my 1st year - a Mighty Meowster Memorable year. You are truly the Cat's Meow!



Ciao & Meow and now on to Year 2 - woo hoo,

Jumbo Kitty Litter Box at Race Finish Line

Prolificatically speaking, everybody wears some artisticat costume to the Bay to Breakers race, a foot fest of calamities (or a paws party in the case of we 4-leggeds who trot our 4 legs a whopping 7 miles from the Bay to the Oceanside!) Ah ha, did someone say Beach??? The world's biggest kitty litter box awaits us at the finish line - catzowey woo hoo. But what to wear to this annual "Only In San Fran" event was a challenge for me as well as trying on my costume. How do I get into this thing???


Refusing to wear a blonde Paris Hilton wig to match my built-in stripes (hey she's going to have that look soon), I opted for the "Divine Diva Drag Kitten" look, and donned a whole Big Bird's worth of flamingo pink and set out for the race course.







Well, at least I was wearing my fur - look at these folks who dashed out their doors so early in the morn they forgot to get dressed!



And my pawsatively great shape and Italian tude took me to the finish line - unlike some others. Was it really necessary for this bear dude to wear a badge prouncicating "Out Of The Race"?Click on that photo and try to control your laughter. You bet your cat's eye that I hissed at him as I pounced past his passed out paws.


Stay tuned, I'm revving up for my 1st birthday party on Saturday and I won't be wearing flamingo pink.

Time With The Fat Cat Of Bubbles

We're having bubbly abundacat colorful times here in San Fran and being I reside in a place that is a tad into fashion and filled to the paws with high cat-couture, I thought it cool to have better contact with everyone - no no, not as in pawing and a-mewsing you but as in colored eye contact lenses! So here I am, just 2 mini meowster weeks before my 1st birthday, trying on turquoise contacts (absolute-a-cat sensible disposables!) to see the world in a PURRfect blue mode: a meal of Blue Fin Tuna would be yummy, or a Blue Moon - oh yah it's famous for sure and I didn't see one this week, and rest assured this mighty meowster didn't squeeze the big paws into any Blue Suede Shoes either. Do you think blue works with my yipes stripes or should I go with the Dom Perignon green? Catzowey, this is one jumbo bottle (a fantasticat Magnum they say) and maybe there's someone inside...


Helloooo? Anybody hiding in there? I can't see you....come out to play and you can be at my birthday soiree. Hellooooooooo.....
