Momo's journal

My slow coach SS only manages to cough up less than half the amount of words required in the time I have been away.


Looks like I have to be at the mercy of friends and sissies until she finishes that last chapter and mops up her thesis.

I had a great time in Italy with Opus and Roscoe .........

.....but their mom had to leave for a business trip, so we all went to Sassy's for a few days. We had a slumber party....

We also worked a bit on the CCSI casting. Sassy said we weren't allowed to go anywhere until work was done. Here we are, hard at work..........

Next stop...

Yay, we will be visiting Asta, my sissy, in the Big Apple!

Winter has come to the south! Snow has been reported in inland towns and on the mountains. Sydney is soggy from persistant rain in the last 2 weeks. It's windy, cold and wet. Poor SS, poor me!

Off to Italy

We left for Italy last night in the Flying Bus in the pouring rain. I'll be visiting with the boys, Opus and Roscoe, for the next week! Please visit us at their home to see what we are up to. Today they have some hints as to how to be a greener pet to honour Earth Day.

One of those hints may land you in serious trouble with your neighbour(s) but it's fun though! I would love to do it!

See you all in Italy!

An invitation came and I'm OFF

Those lovely Italian boys, Opus and Roscoe, sent this invitation to me:


How can a kitty possibly refuse such an invitation!
I am OFF, ciao SS! The table is turned, I am abandoning you rather than the other way around. Power to the kitty!!!!!


Enjoy writing your thesis in cold, grey, wet Sydney while I head off to sunny Italy to enjoy good food and company. Listen, I want that thesis DONE when I get back, d'you hear! I need to visit my friends and update them about my Italian trip.

A big thankyou to Criz for this award....


That's what friends are for and we at the CB are particularly good at giving support and sharing good and bad times. Get well soon, Criz! in trun I would like to dedicate this to ALL the kitties and furries who kindly came to visit when I was sick recently. This is to thankyou for all the healing purrs and support.

Sukie has given me this lovely rose


Thankyou so much! I would like to give it to my friends at the Topcatrules, my sissies Asta, Momo-dog and Sassy, to Opus and Roscoe, and to my sweetheart Socks and his sisters for their friendship and support for me.

Efurrykitty, please support the CCSI in its third episode - The Missing Mummy Caper, to be aired in May.


Casting call is out at Sassy's. Please visit her for more details. Anyone who is interested in behind-the-scene work such as graphics is most welcome to contact her too. Good scripts are always needed to keep CCSI going, so get those literary brain cells working!

Temporary farewell

UPDATE..
Great news - Papa Jonathan has rescued Mama Jessica and she is HOME!!!!


Others.....Ahem.....

Picture is better than a thousand words*, but if you need explaining, go to see what those Italian kitties and Karl have to say about this. Good thing Opus had the presence of mind not to dump Emil and Sassy into the garbage tip as well.

*perhaps SS can put lot of kitty pictures in and wouldn't have to do any more on that thesis of hers. Just a thought. It would certainly be a whole lot more entertaining than petrography and multivariate analyses.


After the party......

Need I say more?

On this note I have to bid a temporary farewell to my friends as my SS will be very busy in the next 2 weeks over her thesis.


She will not be able to help me blog or visit much. I shall be thinking of you all and will be missing you. Please don't forget me but leave encouraging messages here for my SS. I will be back!!!
Purrrrrrs to all!

Blogoversary Party Time!

This is the day - first Blogoversary of the Cat Realm. And we are all here to help celebrate in a unique Lizard BBQ.

Going back a little bit in time, I had a long way to come from the land down under but the Italian boys, Opus and Roscoe came to pick me up in their Flying Van. Roscoe and I had such fun time playing games while Opus took the wheel as we flew across the Atlantic Pond.

On the way we also picked up Sassy and the cake from her barn in the Heartland of America and Asta from New York City, arriving bright and early at Karl's....

We actually arrived a day earlier to practice our routines and do some busking to earn our keep as you saw from my last post. It was an exhausting day so before the others arrived we took the opportunity to rest up a bit

Then everyone came. This is the group photo of all 36 of us - Karl's family, Ruis's whole family from the Netherlands, Charlie, Charlotte and me from Sydney, Momo and Pinot from Toronto, Opus and Roscoe from Italy, Jan's Funny Farm contingent, Sassy, Asta, Riley, Socks and his sisters Scylla and Charybdis.

BBQ time!

While the lizards were being grilled, we relaxed in the pool, drinking and savouring salmon sushi, sashimi and snacks. Charlotte and Riley volunteered to guard the blogoversary cake that Sassy brought all the way from the mid west....

Then it's ENTERTAINMENT TIME.........we present the number one kitty Mariachi group LOS GATOS seen here with guest artists Momo and Socks, and the dancer Charybdis

And the party goes on....more photos and action in Karl's blog and those of the participants listed above.

Busking for Temptations

As you may know Karl is going to celebrate his first blogoversary with a Lizard BBQ party on April 15. We, his friends, are all going along to the party, of course. While we are there we decide to do some busking to help with paying for our Temptations. There is no point doing it after the party since we will be all blotto and not fit to perform, so we do it before the party. All photos by Sassy except the last.

This is us, all ready to perform....

l. to r. Back row: Mystery, Ruis, Karl, Emil, Roscoe
Front row: Me, Sassy, Mrs Oz, Opus, Asta

Busking in town....

Please all come to Karl's party tomorrow. We will also have photos posted in our blogs.

Up, Up and Away...

After the Doll House was put away, Pye decided to go kite flying. I was definitely up to it. And UP was the right word to use too....
