Pictures From Kitty of Cats. Or of Cats, by Kitty.



To get things straight, first of all, we need to be clear, or there will be NO end of confusion. Kitty, who is also called Cat, and who is also Boss's assistant and one of my BFF's (Yes. I can say BFF if I want to. Sometimes I do. If I want to. I mean, if I feel like it. So there) She also runs Neverwear, which is very, very cool. As you know. If you don't, I have handily linked it. If you do, you should check back and see the new THINGS she has lying around the shop.

My Bengals also are called, at times, Cat or Kitty. So to keep things straight, we will call the Person Cat/Kitty "Kitty who is also Boss's Assistant" for short. And the Bengals can be Cats or Kitties.

Are we good?



Kitty who is also Boss's Assistant is a photographer, among other things, and she was the one who took the pictures today. You can tell, they're in focus, framed nicely, kind of tell a story....

Like these first three. I call them Super Model Mim.



Cat was born for the camera (and remember this is not Kitty who is also Boss's Assistant, but my kitty who is a Bengal Cat. We talked about this. Follow along.)

She likes being up high. With Monsters. I can understand that.

(Kitty who is also Boss's Assistant is here all week. Expect more pictures. This makes me happy)



I got the Carnivorous Plant Wallpaper samples today. This is bad. It's even cooler looking at it for real than it was on the web. Bad news, if you recall exactly how much it was going to cost to paper the room. Am thinking quite seriously about doing one wall. The rest could be painted to kind of GO with it. And I could see it every time I went upstairs. It would make me happy. I would go with the green, after consulting with my colour expert. (Who is also my Boss and has really fine colour tastes. I've never gotten into trouble taking his advice. On anything)



The Royals, King Lear the Huge and Little Queen Mab, pictured here looking like Laser Demons on their Real Faux Fur Throw, love Kitty who is also Boss's Assistant. Lear especially. He is pretty scared of anyone else, except for Spooky Teen who cleans my Spooky House, but he really seems to connect with Kitty who is also Boss's Assistant.

And she with him. This also makes me happy.

She would take him home in her luggage in a second. Mab too. If Selena Kyle and Batman wouldn't object. And if the Treehouse she lives in wasn't kind of open, allowing for Kitties to walk about outside from time to time. And if she wasn't on the road so much. And have other people around.

But other than that, she IS the only person I've ever found who could love Lear like he needs to be loved. Or rather, who Lear could love like he needs to.



Lear is really special. Like Venus. He knows more than he says, and remembers things we have forgotten.

He listened to the stories, the ones told late, in secret places. He worries at times, still. Maybe because he listened so closely.

He has moments tho, when he is almost a cat, sort of. He head butts me in the morning, and walks up and down the bed, making his strange snuffling sounds. He tells me he is glad I am awake again. He suggests I could get up and make breakfast. At night he sits on the side of the tub and talks about how nice it is that I bathe with steak every night, while Queen Mab slinks about, glad simply her eyes are made of the green jewels.

Once in a while he Purrs.

And smiles.

This makes me happiest of all.

And finally (Edited to add) Just got this from Kitty who is also Bosses Assistant, Of Selena Kyle, a kitten for I met at the Shelter, who fell in love with Kitty, and she with her, and went off to live in LA with Kitty (and Batman). KNEW she was pretty darn special. Both of them.



Love and Cats of All Sorts,
Lorraine

  1. Lovely lovely tales of Cats and Kitty and other deep and secret late night tellings. Lear will worry some, but he looks so happy.

    And first....how unusual!

  3. Dear Lorraine who is not a cat or kitty, but is boss's assistant. Thank you for a lovely post.

  4. Ooh, love the green Carnivorous Plant Wallpaper! Also love the pics of cats, especially the glowing eyes.

  5. Lear looks so calm and happy...and oh how I wish I could cuddle him because he looks totally cuddle-able there.

    ReplyDelete
  6. Thank you!

    Sally, he's NOT cuddly. He is many things, but cuddly isn't on that List. He's better tho than a year and a half ago, when Kitty and I went to Chicago and brought him home.

    And that's what's important.

  8. I'm glad all the kitties are happy. And, that Mim has lots of monsters to play with.

    I'm still sick. Still the sickness I had two months ago. When I was looking on WebMD, the only sickness I could find with all my symptoms was TB.

    Looks like I'm going back to the doctor tomorrow!

    Also, Serious Black is helping me type tonight by trying to eat my computer cord.

  11. That is such a lovely post. It made me smile to no end. Love you girls...and cats and kitties! The wallpaper totally rocks on purpose.

    ReplyDelete
  12. Mim really is a rock star in those pictures, and Mab and Lear look regal.

    I mentioned to a friend on LJ that Kitty takes good pictures when she posted a picture of her, her husband, and Boss from C2E2 that Kitty took for her.

    Work has been sucking my soul, had 18 hours of OT last week and am well on my way to at least 15 this week. Bleh!!

  13. Just added a video to the post!!!

    Yes, there is more!

    ReplyDelete
  14. The lovely OSS put pictures of the corsets on the last thread, but I'm here now, so I'll say Thanks, Linda!! You both look fine!

    ReplyDelete
  15. Photos and video and Cat and Kitty and Kitties and assistants and other assistants....

    It's all so confusing!

    Nice photos of the kitties, Kitty. I would like to try to make friends with Lear. Right now though, I have a large cat draped across my chest and an enormous dog on my feet. I'm very... warm. And also completely unable to move.

    ReplyDelete
  16. And.....


    Tick.

    (I seem to have forgotten how to post. Time for bed.)

    ReplyDelete
  17. If you come here, Mistress, you may visit with Lear. Time he made some more friends. With Fiends.

    (Pretty witty I am)

  18. I love reading your posts, Quiche. I haven't commented as much as I used to, but I always read them.

    Love the wallpaper...

    ReplyDelete
  19. I think this cartoon is about Serious Black!

  20. Mim does seem to be enjoying her photoshoot, especially in that last one. Many thanks to Kitty who is also Boss's Assistant.

    Yes, that wallpaper wants to be green. Definitely green.

    Wendy, I hope to return to good health soon. That sounds so awful.

    Thanks, Siri! *blush*

    I'm off to try this sleeping at night thing. Hasn't been working too well lately. Mighty inconvenient when one has a day job.

    ReplyDelete
  21. Ahem, that's Wendy, I hope *you* return to good health soon.

    ReplyDelete
  22. Too tired to say anything of worth but that was a poetic past, that was. With lovely pictures.

    ReplyDelete
  23. I saw that cartoon from Marjorie earlier today! Loved it and way too true.

    Miss you Ticia! Good to know you are about.

    Wendy, I love it every time you write "Serious Black" No idea why. Just love that name.

    I want to sleep too. Thinking soon, tho feeling decedent like a second hot tub..

    ReplyDelete
  24. I think I have been remiss in posting Serious Black picture updates, in which he looks Serious and sometimes also has laser eyes.

    I also have new New Orleans pictures. I have never been happier. Although, I don't think I have ever been so sick for so long.

    I had guests the weekend before last, and Serious was in heaven, because he could choose between sleeping with four different people! So, he alternated between cuddling with each of us all night long.

  25. Beautiful pictures as always, Ms. Kitty. Thank you! Of course, thank you, too, Ms. Fabulous for posting pictures of such stunningly beautiful models. :)

    I don't think I've mentioned it, but Linda and Ani both look zaftig in corsets. :)

    ReplyDelete
  26. Kitties! Kitties everywhere! I want to hug them all.
    And Kali-Minou (which would be my own name for Selena): She is just too cute as well.
    Total kitty overload.
    I need some tea.

    ReplyDelete
  27. Beautiful pictures of beatiful kitties!
    (tick & run)

  28. Ms. Fabulous, Ms. Fabulous, the world needs to know, how do you keep your youthful complexion?

    I bathe with steak every night



    Lovely post, lovely pics, great way to start a Tuesday.

    Catching up from camping post, a Victoria Wood sketch that has always stuck in my mind:

    Right, you put the tent up, I'll get the water.

    I don't know how it goes up

    They're all basically the same, you've been camping enough times.

    I've never been camping, that's why this is such a thrill!

    What do you mean you've never been camping, when I met your mother did she or did she not say that as an adolescent, you were always in tents?

    Intense! I was always intense!

  29. Hee hee great rhyme Jess, and true as well! Lovely pics of the kitties by Kitty :o)

    I'm still waiting to find out whether my trip to Ireland this weekend is on or off.... sigh volcanoes are such an inconvenience.

    ReplyDelete
  30. I always knew her as Cat and so every once in a while did get confused with all the Kitty's.

    ReplyDelete
  31. I am also trying to figure out if I can make it to Paris on Friday (and then I can worry about being able to come back to Rome on the following Wednesday...)

    ReplyDelete
  32. Wonderful story and pics! *claps hands excitedly*

    It looks like so much feline fun, the Spooky House does. I almost typed Felini fun - heh.

    Wendy - you poor thing, I hope you don't have the case of Voodoos. Hope you feel better soon..

    Feel a bit jealous of Cat who is Boss's Assistant's zombified sleep. Is this something Q could bottle and sell - I'd buy it.

    ReplyDelete
  33. Such a great post. :) LOVE the paper! Sounds like a fun week ahead. I look forward to more fabulous Kitty/Cat/Kitty-Cat photos.

    ReplyDelete
  34. It's a morning of Volcano woes. Spent a long time w. Delta, who have not YET canceled tomorrows flights despite Heathrow still being closed.

    Have Boss wait listed on EVERY flight possibly going to the UK for the next five days. (No, I am not kidding.)

    Have part of a Plan going for some Open Airport/Train action.

    Ain't GOOD.

    My garbage house is done tho and sitting nicely in the backyard, waiting for it's paint job. Very nice garbage house. Now I can look out and not see garbage.

    Merry Housekeeper has a Plan for Bushes too. She told me yesterday not to worry about it since I didn't know what bushes she was talking about anyway, that she would take care of everything.

    I like that.

    Off to work shortly, with Kitty/Cat today. And a Boss who is getting sadder about missing an Amanda.

    ReplyDelete
  35. That's very sad for Boss and his lady. But you have obviously done everything even remotely possible...

    ReplyDelete
  36. Oh no, not YET I haven't done everything. He isn't THERE yet. When he IS I will have done everything.

    I will get him there. Might not be London on Thursday, but they will hook up.

    ReplyDelete
  37. awww look at princess selena holding court. so pretty.

    fingers crossed that something works out. at least the airlines are being cautious instead of just flying and having big metal birds fall out of the sky. on the flip side, i can't imagine how frustrating it is for anyone stuck because the planes are not flying.

    ReplyDelete
  38. Do they allow private plans to fly? I bet Obama is not using Airforce 1 - Boss could borrow that?

    ReplyDelete
  39. Try via Spain? (I have a negotiation meeting tomorrow with a Spanish company and they are confirming their flight from Madrid)
    And/or maybe to Paris if not London?
    (he might be able to flight later or could always take a train between Madrid and Paris)

    ReplyDelete
  40. HA! May have found a private plane cleared for take off within 6-8 hours after airspace clear.

    Yes. I am VERY good.

    ReplyDelete
  41. And I am VERY impressed.

    ReplyDelete
  42. New Post Up!

    Chartered a private jet to the UK and back, space available...

    ReplyDelete
  43. it must be the day i'm having. . . the pictures are lovely and the writing is beautiful and yet, for an unknown reason, i'm crying.

    ReplyDelete
  44. You collect folk art from Oaxaca? Is that what I see next to Mim? It looks like some of mine.

    The cats are beautiful and so are the cat tales (tails?).

    ReplyDelete
  45. Such a lovely post!

    I have been busy busy busy!
