I was vary nerviss yesterday cuz it was time for my Purrforminse Review for my werk at Catster. Yoo never know win they'll deeside to say, "Sorry, this just izn't werking owt." But mine wint mostly okay:

Yoo'll notice that DGTR has grone a beerd. He has lots of dark manly wiskers now. Even more dark manly wiskers than Mr TF and the FL put together! So I need to figyer owt how to grow dark manly wiskers. Anybuddy got any sugjestions?

I saw Guido last nite!

I think most of yoo know that one of my vary best frends is Guido the Italian Kitty. (His name is purrnownst "GWEE-doe." I dunno why he spells it the way he duz. He livs in San Fransisko, and he's vary famous. He's bin on teevee with da grate Chuk Woolery. He's a working cat, just like me; he's an Animul Asssted Therupy cat. That's him in the pikcher above, and I'm sittin in his Morgan Bed -- Morgan made me a Morgan bed ixzaktly like it, but in pink!

Well, on Friday we got to go to San Fransisko to hang with Guido and his roommates Yolo and Baci. Baci's a geezer like Rocky so she naps a lot, but Yolo is yung and fun like me.

Thare were sum ladeez thare, too. Not just Guido's mom hoo did the cookin, but Chai Latte's mom and Luci's mom. Thare Catsters. Luci's mom brot catnip cigars and cat dansers fur us and Guido's mom gave us peecock fethers. (Peecock fethers are ginormous fethers that almost reech to the seeling.) The ladeez drank lots of happy joose and got reely lowd. Heer's a pikcher of the ladeez: frum L to R: Chai Latte, Little Bit and Sugar's mom, me, Guido's mom and Guido, and Luci's mom. The FL was thare too, but she had to take the pikcher!

Mostly, me and Guido and Yolo played with the good catnip cigars and covered owr eers win the ladeez talked too lowd. It was a lot of fun! I'm lucky the FL takes me to fun nites owt on the town. Thank yoo, Guido and Guido's mom fur a grate time!

The Thing About the Hat

Heer is a seekrit beehind-the-seens tip: don't moosh da ears! I hate to ware hats win they moosh my ears, so the Food Lady cuts out ear holes for me in the sides of the hat so it's cumfterbul. And she puts velkro ties behind the ear holes so the hat will stay on my hed... and sinse the ties go beehind the ears and under my chin, yoo can't see 'em. It's all smoke and mirrers, fokes.

My Muther's Milk Outtake

Heer is anuther outtake frum my St Patrik's Day shoot. It was taken neer the end of the sesshun after, frankly, I'd had a littul too much Muther's Milk. Muther's Milk makes it hard to stand up strate, and can be dizasteruss if yer playing a game of darts at the pub or trying to find the litter box. And then, of korse, at sum point yoo need to herl.

So if yer takin' yer St Paddy's day pikcher this weekend, remember to drink the Muther's Milk AFTER yoo got yer shot, not before.

And by the way, over at The Cat's Meow I'll be feechering cats in St Patrik's Day attire next Toozday. Click heer for deetales on how to enter !

On Sundays I git to sleep in with Mr Tasty Face. He is vary cuddly, and it is owr "Speshul Time."

Later in the day, I had to poze fur my St Pawtrick's Day foto. Mr TF helped me poze and make shur I didn't have poop on my ears or gunk in my eyes. He's a vary good stylist.

Tripper came up wile we were takin' pikchers, but I didn't git scairt or anything cuz I had a job to do and I was gonna do it! Win Trip saw whut I was warin', he wint and hid under the dek. Probly cuz he was imberrist abowt running arownd NOOD!

So it was a good day, with lots of one-on-one time with Mr TF.

Geograffy Lessin

Jeter, I shur hope yoo can take notes faster this week than yoo did last week. This week, we're going to travel to Arjenteena and Chilly. I think Chilly got its name frum both being a cold place and being shaped like a Chili.

Thare's a place in Chilly that's also in Arjenteena called the Beagle Channel. No, it's not a dog network on cable, it is a waterway called a strait wich is crooked not strate (see? geograffy is HARD) . It seperates the islands of the Tierra del Fwaygo Arkipellugo. Its eastern porshun is part of the border between Chilly and Arjenteena, but the western part is completely within Chilly. Heer is a map:

The Beagle Channel is about 150 miles long and is about three miles wide at its narrowest point. To the west the Darwin Sound connects it to the Pacific Ocean. The biggest settlement on the channel is Ushuaia in Argentina followed by Pwerto Williams in Chile, and thare both at the bottum of South America. That's a kold place. Cats hoo live thare definitly need heated cat cups to sleep in. And that's why Chey needs sumbuddy to find her beefore she freezes her tale off.

Ushuaia is the place in the pikcher above. It is the capital of the Argentine provinse of Tierra del Fwaygo and the southernmost city in the world. That meens I wood have to drive a cupple of days STRATE in the bloo masheen to git thare.

The Beagle Channel was named after Charles Darwin's bote wich went thare between 1826 and 1830. I don't know why anybuddy wood wunt to name a bote after a dog, tho. Charles Darwin shood have saled on the HMS Skeezix.

Ooops. My Tighty Whities Arn't So Whitey Anymore

Well, beefore I shipt off my Tighty Whities to Daisy, I deesided to ware them arownd so they'd git my smell all over them. But win I took them off today, I notist that thare was a littul dab of poo on them -- and a littul more of my smell on them than I reely intended. It's reely so small yoo can barely see it. Mao sez thare skid marks, but I don't think they are, cuz I never put my tighty whities in the driveway ware a car cood run over them. So I tride to wash them, but no matter how hard I likked them, the poo stayed on my tighty whities. Then Mao sed I had Krap Breth. Duz anybuddy owt thare know how to git the poo off of underpants? (Oh, and by the way, pleeze don't rat me owt to Daisy becuz that wood be vary imberrissin'.) Wood it be okay just to send 'em to Daisy like this? Cuz as I sed, yoo can hardly see the little spot of poo.
