Windows

While I wait for Backup to backup my hard drive over on the iMac, I decided to use the MacBook. Where I decided to play with Windows which had been wonky ever since I upgraded Parallels. It worked. Then Parallels indicated it had an update which I downloaded. Now it's hanging on installing the update. Guess it's force quit time. And hope I can get Windows to work again... properly. Then I get to update that. Wonder what service pack it's up to now.

Ah! Spring

It's spring and the first flowers have sprung, first one bloomed three days ago but there were more today. Weather was beautiful thou warm, 90 degrees out. And where was Meowza? Inside taking it easy. He did his roll in the dirt when I came home, no camera in hand, then went promptly inside to dirty up the sofa.

Changed It Back

Changed it back to what it was before except changed text colors and fonts just to be a little different. And work with the background. It's so easy to do might as well.

Happy St. Patty's Day

A little Meowza for your holiday fun. What? You were maybe expecting a leprechaun? He's close enough I suppose although he doesn't have a pot of gold hidden somewhere among his furs. Meowza is capable of much mischief thou.

Site Stuff

Messed with the site yesterday. Changed the background and text colors for St Patty's Day. Also added labels on the side, rearranged stuff and added Google translate. Even translates into Hebrew. Cool. Has more languages than the translate widget I have on my WordPress blog. That's one for Blogger.

Fashion Friday: My New Red Dress

Red is definitely her color, she being the famous Daisy the Curly Cat. Fashion Friday is the highlight of my week. Daisy always looks so cute dressed up.

Even when she's crabilated.

So it's a dog dress, probably don't make cat clothes cause most cats would shred theirs.

Now an enterprising soul could sew up some clothes without the offending dog tag. She might like that.

Finally Friday Nibbling

That should be enough grass there for Meowza to nibble on, still plenty of dirt for him. He rolled in it while I was taking out the trash then came in right after all covered in dirt and twigs. Just what I wanted but, as the cats have soiled the sofa, it's time to wash the slipcovers again. They don't take long especially Meowza.

Easy Like Sunday Evening

Here's Meowza after he took his usual roll in the dirt. Only caught the tail end of it cause the camera was slow. I've since recharged the batteries.

I'll have to do something special for him Wednesday cause that's his birthday. He'll be five.

Space, the final frontier

This has to be the most original entry in the Space theme for Photo Hunters. LOL. I have caught the kitties doing it outside and Bazel doing it in the kitchen sink but never together. That's got to be a first.

Caturday Cece

Here's Cece hanging by the front door. Note, he has personalized the mat with his furs.

Brilliant Aloysius

The solution to our falling economy: Cats. Hadn't thought of it before but they are perfect. No?

Easy Like Sunday Afternoon

Cece rolled in it again, proof is on his back side. One of these days, I'll get a tummy shot.

Caturday

Cece enjoyed his Temptations today. It's such a beautiful day too for kitty pics.

Happy Valentine's Day

Meowza has another valentine for Sally. I do think that boy is in love.

Salome's Valentine for Meowza

I came across this - Skeezix the Cat's 3rd Annual VD Contest: Salome's Valentine for Meowza. Almost didn't check the contest but as Meowza was wanting my help making a valentine for Salome (he has no Photoshop skills), I decided to get some inspiration from people far more talented than I am. Now he is positively over the moon as he got one from her.

Guessing Game

Lux has a guessing game and a really cute pic of him. Note how intensely he studies the object, great expression, love the tooth.

Weird

The kitty festivals, BKCFoC CotC WCB, get relatively few links each week, currently running around 10 or so, yet Mister Linky over at the Cat Blogosphere gets lots, somewhere between 30 and 60 on average per day. How do we increase carnival participation?

BKCFOC #80-Are You Ready For Some Football?

There's a clue in this title - BKCFOC #80-Are You Ready For Some Football? but don't worry, it's kitty filled goodness. Great festival. And regards the football, remembers our Cardinals who won! Yay! My kid will be most happy bout that.

Cat Food

On the Animal Rescue Site, it states, "You've given the value of .6 bowls of food to rescued animals." I've given one bowl of food to Cece. Does that count?

Background Image

Messing around with a background image cause I can.

Hijacked

Grrr, tried to post at mindofmog.net but got redirected to another site. Tried to load site, got redirected to that same site. Site's been hijacked. Note the other blogs all still work. Arrggg, I've lost my blog. I did fire off an urgent support request to Dreamhost to see if it can be fixed.

Update: Dreamhost fixed it, said it was a severe misconfiguration in Apache which they corrected and apologized for. Their mistake. Obviously someone was asleep at the wheel there.

Megan Monster: New Years Fires or how not to start the new year off. Teens saved the day, Megan has a great extended family.

Happy New Year

May you all have a happy holiday and a great 2009. Me, I’m having a quiet holiday at home with the kitties. Changed colors cause I can in solidarity with Israel seeing as it is at war with Hamas. Hope Israel crushes Hamas.

New Stuff

Added couple page elements, now to figure them out, place them where I want. Got to see what Blogger can do now.

Going Violette

I was pleasantly surprised how easy it is to change colors in some themes. Accordingly, colors and theme have been changed in memory of little Violette Noelle - "Sprout" - Monty Q's baby bean whose brief life touched many in the Cat Blogosphere. Our prayers are with her family.

Locked Out

Some Blogger blogs have been locked out as they got flagged as splogs but aren't. Or is it just a Blogger glitch? As quoted on Instapundit:

Many of us are ready to switch to WordPress. I wonder how long it will take before Blogger gets their act together and fixes the problem!

Switching to WordPress is a good idea IMHO. I did long ago.

I blog at mindofmog

I don't actually post here much as this is not the main blog. Hmmm, testing. OK, add pic, it comes out on top. This be Meowza.
