Legalize it

Alright, after "altered photo scandal 2008" I'm forced to admit that I actually did NOT go to Montreal a couple of weeks ago. I didn't have anything interesting to write about so I just made it all up! Having a blog as a young feline is very demanding and I only want to provide my readers with the best and I just cracked under the pressure. But now that I've had time to reflect on my actions I've come up with a list of future topics to satiate my faithful readers.

The pressure, however, has driven me to new limits and self medication. Now, I consume a bit of catnip here and there and I don't have any problems with it. It's fairly easy to obtain. Usually in my apartment there is a bag or two just lying around. I usually don't even notice it, but sometimes I do and I just can't control myself. That is the point where I start to worry. But man this stuff is just so good. Since I've been dealing with my very public shame, I've been going to the sweet-sticky much more often than normal. My friends say that it's not addictive physiologically, but I just don't know. Should I be worried?

Step 1: find bag


Step 2: sniff bag, assess quality and age of contents


Step 3: tear that bag a new one


Step 4: remove contents


Step 5: consume contents via nose and mouth


Step 5: aww, yeah



Step 7: sit back, enjoy the ride



Repeat as necessary.

Je suis retournée!

Hi Everyone,

I'm back from my vacation and family reunion in Montreal. I had such a wonderful time and was able to eat lots of my favorite hometown dish: poutine! I've uploaded a couple of pictures of me having such a great time. If you have never been to Francophone parts of Canada, I highly recommend it. Friendly people, great springtime weather and delicious food. Also, if you love bakeries, it's the place to go!

Here's me in front of some famous building. I think it's a hotel.


And here you can see the skyline behind me. So beautiful!

I hope everyone is safe and sound. I wish you all the best.

XOXO,

Cameo


Next week: Babies, babies, babies--sort of.

Ready for a vacation!

Now that Spring is in the air I've been so busy keeping watching over the birds and squirrels that I haven't had time to post! It's been so overwhelming that I'm going on vacation again but this time just back home to Montreal to visit my friends and family. It's been a while since I've been home but this is a great time to be in Québec because the weather is pretty nice now that everything is thawing out. So it will be two weeks time before I post again, but I wanted to let you all know that I'm still here and grateful for your adoration.

Snowshoe hares and a new friend

Hi Everyone!

I want to thank everyone for their kind birthday wishes. I had a great party and enjoyed my new double-wide scratcher with capnip and a delicious tuna fish dinner.

For Easter I got to spend some time out and about exploring after the giant snowstorm we got on Friday that scared away all of the birds and squirrels. We got about 6 or 7 inches in just one night!


The snow is so cold! But after I got used to it it was really fun. I'm not a fan of the cars driving by though. They are much too loud and fast. I followed some kitty and rabbit trails around for a while but was not able to find anything today. Oh well, maybe next time.

I also made a great new friend. I'm not to sure what his name is yet, because he doesn't seem to know, but I think it was Tucker or Watson or something like that. I'm sure he'll decide soon, but in the meantime I can induct him as an honorary member of the feline order and teach him our much cooler ways. I can't wait to take him for walks.


Have a great week!

The big 0-5!

I've been waiting for this for a while-- Today, March 15th is my 5th birthday, that's 20 of your measly human years. I may go get a massage or perhaps a pedicure, but I'm hoping I get some extra special toys to replace the ones that I destroyed. This evening, I'm planning on having a few of the neighborhood cats over for some laser-chasing, Kogepan-fetching, and perhaps some pizza. Pizza, pizza, pizza! I hope everyone has a wonderful day. I can see that we are in the homestretch for Spring to arrive and I'm very excited about that. There have been a few days where the windows have been opened and the birds are slowly returning. Oh, and beware Idus Martiae.

Love,
Cameo

The Essence of Being Feline

What does it mean to be a cat?


I ask myself this all the time. It's a difficult question. Many people define cats by what they are not:

Cats don't fetch.
Cats aren't loyal.
Cats aren't happy.

And I guess some people say that cats are:

Independent
Aloof
Evil

I am Cameo and I just am. I can fetch (especially when Kogepan runs away). I can be loyal. I can also be aloof. And I can be evil. In fact, the other night, I kept knocking over the trashcan at 3 in the morning. And why? Because I felt like it! And when I got kicked out of the bedroom, I showed my dissatisfaction by scratching under the door all night. See, cats cannot be defined essentially. Every cat is as unique from every other cat as the group of cats is from dogs or people or birds. And that's why I love being Cameo.
