A meerkat ……?

….. or a mere cat?



nom de plume - eat a large feather in French


PS from the Staff.  Austin is always nagging requesting that we go to visit all our lovely blogging friends every minute of every day, but as there are so many super interesting blogs now, he sometimes gets waylaid and has to be dragged away kicking and screaming to do much less interesting things like eating and napping. So if we don't always leave a comment, it's not because we don't love and appreciate every single one of you, but that real life sometimes gets in the way .. and don't forget Austin has to get all his beauty sleep and build his strength up so he is ready for THE VALENTINE'S BALL next week!!!! xx

Definitely a meerkat. No cat is a mere cat. Now if you will excuse us we are off to find a french feather to nom on.

We agree a Meerkat. Good job Austin. We sure don't want you to be too tired for you Valentine's ball. Did you eat the whole plume, Austin?? You are going to have a mighty big tickley tummy ache. Have a good evening.

Cat Chat With Caren And Cody said...

this was one of my most favorite posts EVER! Too funny!
We totally understand about commenting. We do our best and there are many we read and DO comment on and many we read and don't. Sometimes there just isn't enough time or we have nothing to say! Imagine THAT!

dood...if ewe haza de keyz...we haz de cash.....letz take thiz car for a spin N see what kinda trubull we can all get inta....

Bernadette said...

We think...that if you were to have meerkats on top of your car where you live, we either need to be seriously worried about global warming or you got some whopping good nip and you need to share.

Our human never gets around to all the blogs we'd like to visit, and she won't get us our own Kindle (even though we already are a kindle) so we could operate it with our paws. We're asking for one for our birthday.

Katie http://myminipetpig.com/ said...

Ha, we love it! That sure was a meerkat-like pose. And we understand on not visiting, it's so hard for us to get around to everything lately too!

Oink oink,
Katie and Coccolino the mini pig

Misaki @ misadventuresofMisaki said...

Julia Williams said...

Marilia said...

Layla ( Cat Wisdom 101) said...

Ha, close but no cigar for whatever Austin was angling for. We are impressed with his agility and magnificat form.

Julie Flanders said...

Hahaha. What was Austin after here?
I can only imagine how handsome Austin will be for the Valentine's Ball. See you then! :)

Cathy Keisha said...

Austin is no mere cat, that's for sure. I second that emotion about visiting. It's a lot to do every day. I need time to play with TW.

Maxwell, Faraday and Allie said...

Dood, ya need to tell your mom there's no such thing as a MERE cat. MOL!

We love nomming de plumes in our Da Bird - if only the plume would fly for us more often *looks meaningfully at mommy*

savannahspawtracks.com said...

oh Austin...no problem with the visits, we have just given up. Mom and I do what we can. we try to visit and comment on everyone who visits and comments for me...but even that is overwhelming sometimes. We think we will be much better once we get to April 1...my First Blogiversary...after that...we will only post 3x's a week...whew! THen we can VISIT lots more YEA!!!

Spitty-the-Kitty said...

Meercat! Oh Austin, my Human totally unnerstands--she sometimes gets all caught up in non-cat-blog things (can you even believe that??) and then she does not help me visit like she should. Some days I can't do a THING with her. Sigh.

~*Connie*~ said...

There is no such thing as a mere cat..

Deb Barnes said...

A mere cat... hmrpf... as if...

The J-Cats said...

Oh, Austin, there are no "mere" cats - only "mere-acle cats" (mol).

What's that you say about a Valentine's Day Ball? Where? Can I come? Will you dance with me? I love dancing.And I would really, really love to dance with a handsome mancat such as yourself.

Willow said...

Austin got to agree you are much more than a mere cat. After all you are a linguistic expert for the blogosphere.

Kajetana N said...

Its good that you are a mere cat! LOL

Mumsys Kitty Korner said...

I hardly think your cat could ever be a "mere" cat! Austin is too incredible to be anything but mere!

Texas, a Cat in New York said...

"eat a large feather in French"

MOL! MOL! MOL! MOL! MOL! MOL! MOL!

Excellent!

We completely understand about life and other impawtant activities such as eating and napping. In fact, we are a tiny bit late commenting, as you can see :-/

Lots of purrs
