Deletehaha we agree, synchronized sleeping should be an event. We could get many under that tent
ReplyDeleteShocking news indeed! Selfies are not Selfies? I'm with you on the synchronized napping and hope it commences soon here. With a new cat in the house, everybody is sleeping with one eye and both ears wide open...

Shock! Horror! I cannot believe the terrible news that we haven't been taking our own selfies. Are you sure this is correct and not some troublemaker spreading rumours?
ReplyDeleteWell, I have a confession to make. Sister Sascha helps me with my selfies.
ReplyDeletePseudo selfies??? I's shocked!
ReplyDeleteWe are great at S.S.T. and can even do it with five cats purrticipating. We would love to join our friends at a Board Mtg. Let us know what you find out about those possible faux selfies on our blog hop. It sounds like we may have a scandal on our paws. Terrific issue of the Times! XOCK, Lily Olivia, Mauricio, Misty May, Giulietta, Fiona, Astrid, Lisbeth and Calista Jo
ReplyDeleteAustin riveting issue of the T.T.! I will admit, when I am feeling crabby I 'might' force Mom to push the button for me on my camera because I am being a bit of a Divo (male diva). Ralphie and I would sign up for syncronized napping! Also anything beautiful Katie Isabella wants, we agree with!
ReplyDeleteMarty
If Katie needs a co-hostess, mes would bes happy to helps! And mes most admit, me has my human so wrapped around my paw, Mes often gets her to takes my selfies, its the thumb thing...
ReplyDeleteOh yes, Sychonized Napping should bes an event! Though mes must say, yous would NEVER EVER sees mes and Jo Jo pawticipating!
Also, our local restaurant (yes..the village of Midway DOES has one, is called the Bored Room Bistro, tagline the place for Bored Meetings!
Loves yous Austin
Kisses

Is there going to be another cat Olympics? We have a contenter for pole vaulting. And we say yes to open door policy at all times.
ReplyDeleteOh no! How did you figure out that our selfies are staged? I am so ashamed.
ReplyDeleteWell Austin this is appawling...and here even the sheep follow along..yes sheep..who would think sheep follow MOL...we are also for an open door policy..complete transparency in the home..what are they hiding??? we get locked..yes locked into Al-Catraz every night..know why?? well Pickles could open the door..awesome..she would leap up and let us all go free range..well Mum put a stop to that and got Dad to out a lock on the door! not only closed...but LOCKED! all because we play nascar all night or do the moon walk on the blind rails..or rip the couch or jump all over the beds..sheesh..please let us get ths out there MOL paw pats Dinnermintz xxxx
ReplyDeleteWow, I'm shocked about the selfies scoop! :-0
ReplyDeleteUhoh........caught in the act......even though I have extra toes I've not mastered the clicky/flashy box and YES, I am guilty as charged of having Mom do my selfies. Should I call them "Mommies" from now on????? Sign me up for the convention - it's high time we get together and sleep - I mean - tackle the business of the Union!
ReplyDeleteHugs, Sammy
SelfiesGate! I would like to put the NUCAT badge on my blog(you know, because I post so often there) but I don't have a cat... Just a Suds Bunny! I think you won The Teaser, Mr. Austin!
ReplyDeleteMiss Pix, you are an honorary kitty, so you are welcome to take the badge!! :))) I can't believe I might have won that this week!!! :D xx
DeleteWe're also shocked about the selfies - but our concern is that we didn't even know what selfie means. Mom said it means that she's taking a nice picture of us. Is this against common law? Do give wrong information to dependent "persons"?
ReplyDeleteWe feel more and more abused. Thank you for your support in the taking vs stealing issue! And thank you for NUCAT - we will join as soon as Mom lets us. (Can she deny us to join?????)
MOL Tessa and Kajsa, I reckon she has no choice!! You have the power ;-)
Deletedood....therez a lot oh board meetings at de food serviss gurls place oh employ....like everee day.... sew her sayz !!!! ♥♥♥
ReplyDeletePosed selfies? Hmmm....
ReplyDeleteWeez just luv yous newspaper Austin. And me needs to get mommy off hers hiney and put up meez NUCAT badge. She always blames it on furgettin'. MOL Me wuld luv to attend da convention, so who be da committee leader? Sumwhere we musta missed sumfin'. Weez didn't know there was any elections. Have a gweat day.
ReplyDeleteLuv ya'
Dezi and Lexi
I myself cannot believe that any cat worth his fur would bow to having his human snap his selfie. I mean really. Most times we have to explain what we are doing to those without feline insight and keep pointing at the little clock thingie explaining over and over what a "timer" is.
ReplyDeleteWe are already practicing for the SST contest but wonder if it will allow our Dad to be the object we lay on. Understandably this may be a problem due to his tiny aged bladder but we are open to suggested solutions. We are with KI
Timmy T
PS we are proud to display NUCAT on our Blog!
ReplyDeletePosed selfies? Say it isn't so! We vote for no closed doors!
ReplyDeleteThat’s why I never cottoned to the selfies. I was on to them from the start but now they have these apps that trick cats into taking their own pics. Great new issue. Where do I subscribe? MOL!
ReplyDeleteI am SHOCKED and HORRIFIED at the story that these selfies may not be all that they seem. I'm glad you've exposed this scam. It's time the world woke up and smelled the roses.
ReplyDeleteAustin I feel so secure knowing you are on top of all this madness!!
ReplyDeleteWe have NuCat badge on our side bar!!
Hugs madi your bfff
Wow, that selfies story could turn out to be quite the scandal!
ReplyDeleteWHAT DO YOU MEAN, THE SELFIES AREN'T REALLY SELFIES?!? A scandal is on our paws for sure!
ReplyDeleteAnd thank you for sharing our grievance about the doors -- we really hope everyone can get behind this and we can work together for a change!!!
Thank you, President Austin!!!
Rita definitely wants to throw in her support for the no doors campaign! She is very upset with the Momma because the Momma keeps closing the door to the guest bedroom! And even though Rita has the run of the house and can sleep on 1 of 3 dog beds, or the Momma & Daddy's bed or 1 of 2 sofas, she REALLY wants to sleep on the guest bed!
ReplyDeleteRita I think you should be made honorary kitty! Your support for the open doors policy and deep understanding of napping protocol is exemplary! ;)
DeletePresident Austin, thank you for the mention of my suggestion. I would further say that we might allocate a bit of time after naps of corse, to elect officials to whom we may take our grievances. They in turn will collect these grievances from all concerned and pool them with others in varied locations throughout the CB and tunnel them over to you... our beloved President.
ReplyDeleteFurthermore, these local officials shall be called NUCAT Stewards. And the cats will all of them vote with a kibble of their own for authenticity for the cat of their choice to represent them.
Timmy Tomcat''s dad and the tiny aged bladder cracked my mom up so much she about betrayed her OWN tiny aged bladder!
Yours in Trust, I remain
Sincerely Yours
Queen Kathryn Isabella
Queen Kathryn Isabella, I can see you have a thorough knowledge of Union procedure and practice. I feel that subject to the usual bribes and ...errr ..... enticements you should be made Steward in Charge of Grievances and Kibble Authenticity. However, each NUCAT member has to register their kibble of choice before the deadline whenever that is.
DeleteTimmy Tomcat's dad's little problem should possibly be on the agenda too! Reduction of napping choices is of serious concern.
Humbly yours
Austin Towers
President of NUCAT
Please know that course was accidentally mistyped. I shall speak to my mom about that grievous error (and embarrassing one).
ReplyDeleteJust had to say Austin that a Flat you would be great! We could co-ordin-late your USA visits until time to head to Cat Scout Headquarters in November.
ReplyDeletePS hope to see you at the birthdays this Sunday and at the Carnival at Cat Scouts my furend
Timmy
The NUCAT News is a great development. Anf anything that Katie Isabella says is just FINE with me!!
ReplyDeleteMommy sez she gets to attend a LOT of Board Meetings *giggle*
ReplyDeleteYour newsletter is very interesting! I love the article about the bogus selfies!

Posed selfies? Oh come on who would do that...not little old me, wink, wink.
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful weekend...
Noodle and crew
who me? Ask Mom to snap the photo? You'd believe that of me? (notice I am not denying it).
ReplyDeleteAustin, We are deeply embarrassed to admit We have only just seen this post. Mummy thinks there is something wrong with the Computer Thingy, so She doesn't have it on 99 hours a day the way she used to, and sometimes We miss things! Also, sometimes, pages don't come up or take hours and hours to do so, and so Mummy, who is not blessed with the Patience of a Cat, gives up in despair and switches off!
ReplyDeleteAnyway, to get to the point - furrst, thank you for promoting our SST Olympic Campaign!
Secondly - we are shocked and horrified at what you have discovered about the "Selfies". (Seriously, though - isn't that what Staff are for? Besides opening tins, serving meals, cleaning up after Us, and taking dictation?)
Thirdly - count Us in for the Convention. Although perhaps the name should be changed to IUCAT - INTERNATIONAL Union of Cats (mol).
Finally - Shana Tova from Jerusalem!!!
IUCAT! Yes!! I agree with the J-Cats!
