Thursday's Purrs: Pip

"Looking for a companion with a bit of moxie? Look no further!

I'm an outgoing sort of girl, if I do say so myself. I've been told I have a rather *ahem* "bold" personality. But that's a good thing ... right? I think it's good to have an opinion about things, don't you?

No waffling around the issues for me, no sir! For instance, I'll tell you straight out when I want company.

(Okay, confession time: I am a real people pers-- ahh, um, cat. I love it when I'm the center of your attention! 

Not that I'm, like, clingy or anything. A girl needs her down time too - and I'll let you know that as well.)


Being a girlcat of impeccable taste, I love staying well-coiffed.

(You don't mind multitasking during this interview, do you? Could you grab that brush over there and ...?) 
Ooooh yessss. I do love a good brushing session!

I'm pretty accomplished at playing coy, too. (see Exhibit A, below)


You do know that black goes with everything in your wardrobe, right?
Might you be interested in a girl with loads of personality and excellent fashion sense?

If so, come on out - let's chat!

Housepanther purrs,
Pip" 



Pip's available at the Main Campus of KC Pet Project. Come meet her today!

Maxwell's Tau Day Discussion #Fail

Maxwell: Hullo, Mister Mousie.
Did you know today is Tau Day?

That's math-speak for two Pi.

You know, 2π ? As in 2 x 3.14?

 
... are you listening?


Now, as I was saying, we Tauists feel the more superior number isn't Pi, which is 3.14.

It's clearly Tau, or 6.28.

And since Pi Day is celebrated on 3/14, for obvious reasons we chose 6/28 for Tau Day.

6/28 for 6.28 ... get it?


Now, if you'll just bear with me a moment Mister Mousie,
I'll elucidate on exactly why Tau is a far more logical and elegant representation ---


Hey, wait ....
Where are you going? I was just getting started!

poor Maxie ....

Tonkinese Trouble

(we join our story, already in progress)

Maxwell: you called me a what?!?
Allie: Oh Brat, you really shouldn't have ....



Maxwell: *growls* Somekitty needs to learn you some manners, boy.
*cue scruffing action*


Allie: If I were you, I'd apologize, Brat.
He can hold that scruff all day if he has to.

Faraday: Awright. AWRIIIIGHT.
I'm SORRY already.
Leggo, Maxie!



(moments later)
Faraday: #sorrynotsorry



Maxwell: I HEARD that.

A Faux Paw Scandal?

The Huffington Paw dished this little tidbit today, as a certain feline fashionista famously eschews her fave color ~ on National Pink Day, no less!

Huffington Paw scoops news that ALlie has abandoned her signature PINK


Does the shade that lies somewhere between red and violet no longer grace the runways?
Is the famed pastel no longer deemed dernier cri? 

Or*gasp* thanks to Time Magazine, is somekitty having an existential fashion crisis? 




You, gentle reader, be the judge.
We admit to being a bit too stunned for calm, rational thought at the moment. ;-)

Thursday's Purrs: Mickey

"Have you ever heard the saying that big things come in small packages?
I've been told that might apply to me."

Me, sitting for my Olan Mills photo. How glam!

(I've also been told that they should have taken my photo sitting next to a quarter for size comparison, but that might be stretching the truth just a bit. I mean, I'm not THAT tiny ...)

I may look the size of a kitten but I'm really 3 years old - fully grown!

Ready for my closeup Mister De Mille!

The folks around here say I have a gorgeous dilute calico coat as soft as can be, and dreamy green eyes. I'll let you be the judge of that!

I admit I'm a tiny bit shy at first, and I'll probably never be the life of the party, but I warm up to people quickly, honest.

And I do love to snuggle. Chin scritches are my favorite! And at three years, I'm still pretty energetic but without all that crazy kitten action.

(um, I may still have the zoomies on occasion, but I promise they won't last overly long)

Might you be interested in a Pocket Cat? I think I'm just the right size to fit that bill - and I'd love to find a human I can call my own.

Won't you come meet me, soon?

Petite Purrs,
Mickey"

Thursday's (Superhero) Purrs

"We hear superheroes are all the rage these days - with characters like Captain America and Doctor Strange coming out with their own movies and everything." 


"We prefer to think of ourselves as the more behind-the-scenes, mild-mannered heroes. But hey, it's nice to know our brethren (and wonder women...and wonder womencats) are so appreciated!



"Yup, we're just two superkitties keepin' it on the DL, doing our heroic thing at times when no one's the wiser.

You know, like handing out purrs of comfort when needed. Maybe even a headbutt or a few well-placed biscuits. Those kind of subtle superhero actions we cats are known for."


"It's okay if our heroics go unremarked for the most part. After all, we have to protect our secret identities and stuff.

But you see, we're in need of a new secret lair. Our old one - well, you'll understand if we need to keep some superhero info hush-hush and all - right?"



"Might you have a home we could call ours? We promise to always fight for truth, justice and catnip. Cross our paws.

Yours in disguise,

Mr. Wonderful and Mr. Fantastic"

Have you checked out the latest superhero movie this summer?
Take a look - you can learn all about these mild-mannered, larger than life felines right here:



These super cats are both available at the Main Campus of KC Pet Project. Come meet these guys today!

BirdTV Woes

Allie: Oh dear. It looks like our BirdTV channel's on the fritz.


Maxwell: What do you mean, exactly, by "fritz"? Like, bad reception or something?


Allie: No, as in "there are no birds here". None. Not a one.


Faraday: Well, what are you going to do about it, Allie?


Allie: What do I know about premium channel repair, brat?
Maybe it'll just self-correct or something, if I sit here long enough.


Maxwell: Uhh ... I don't think it works that way, Allie.


Faraday: That's it. I'm calling the plumber.


Maxwell: Dood. The plumber? Don't you mean the cable guy?
Faraday: You say potato ....

Knitting in Public, Anyone?

Maxwell: So Saturday's Knit in Public Day again, I see.


And in examining this pile of knitting, it would appear that no progress has been made since I first investigated in 2015.


Hrm. Perhaps forcing it into the public eye might shame someone into advancing the project?


Or I suppose I might try my paw at it again.
Let's see, was it 'fang one, perl two'?


Or maybe I'll just sit this one out. Those sharp pointy ends look as dangerous as my fangs fang.

Hold on a sec....
Is this one of those dangerous Contact Sports?
