I'm fine

As you can see, I'm still fine. The day with the smallest entertainers went surprisingly well. The lady of the house and the big one had managed to get two babysitters for the smallest ones. One was called the grandmother and the other was called Netflix. With the combination of these two, I even had some quality alone time during the day! I guess this week will be OK after all!

Whaaat??

What did you say? You claim the smallest entertainers are on holiday the whole week?? I don't get my alone time at all this week?? How come you didn't consult me on this at all?? I NEED my alone time, desperately! I guess I need to find some hiding places asap...

The Daily Cat review: Apple vs Samsung

I've been watching for a while now the "playful" argumenting between the lady of the house and the big one (you can read more about my staff here ) about which is a better smartphone, her Apple Iphone or his Samsung. My god it's getting boring! She is a true Apple fanatic, whereas he thinks his Samsung is the only possible choice. I was getting really tired of the conversations, so I thought I should bring in my opinion on the table.

 

There. I think the Apple charger cable tastes much better than the boring Samsung. The Apple version had a nice white chewy texture, and it didn't give in too easily. I had to work on it on a couple of different spots, until I reached the metal inside. The Samsung cable? I wouldn't touch that stuff even with a stick. So, I have to agree with the lady of the house, Apple is the best choice.

So big one, there you have it, the lady of the house rules. But I guess you knew it already...

Welcome new friends!

Oh how I'm delighted to see new visitors here and receive comments from you! Thank you and feel very welcome here! It was getting a bit boring meowing by myself, this is much nicer. Thank you also for the many good advice, I am very new here and don't yet know all the tech stuff. To be honest, the lady of the house isn't helping much either, although she considers herself "quite handy " with computers. Yeah right... But luckily there are many more experienced feline friends out there!

 

I have tried to add some new features according to your advice, but I'm not sure if they all are quite right yet. I removed the word verification, my e-mail is on the profile info (there must be a better way to do it, I just couldn't figure out how), and some kind of follow me button should be there. Just let me know if there are some other useful stuff to be added or changed around here.

 

I'm feeling quite technical already, see the picture how hard I'm concentrating on this stuff!

 

See you!

How Carlos The Cat got his name

After reading the interesting story behind Kitty Korner's fellow cats and how they got their names, I thought I might as well share the origins of my rather exotic name.

I was adopted from a good friend of the lady of the house, who has some cats on her own. Her cat had some kittens, and they were looking for a new home. The names of my mom and sibling were quite grand and aristocratic. That's why the lady of the house thought that my name should be a bit different and exotic than the traditional cat names there usually are around here. My whole staff were pondering the name issue, and it seemed to be a very difficult task.

As I am a black and handsome boy, the lady of the house came to think some exotic latin names. She googled lists of spanish names to get some inspiration. Finally the smallest of the staff wrote all the suggested names on paper:

After that, they started picking out the names they didn't like. Finally, the result was clear. I became Carlos.

I have to say I'm very pleased with my name. I think it goes well with my handsome looks and my lovely and sociable character. The lady of the house thinks also that I'm a bit like a latin gigolo, and I don't argue with that. I'm quite a catch and I know it. I even used to take naps in the drawer where the lady of the house stores her bra, that's how gigolo I am! Well, nowadays I'm not granted entrance to the walk-in-closet, since you know, the peeing on the clothes happened... But anyways, Carlos The Cat is the man.


Well, to be brutally honest, I might not be the gigolo or the macho I've been just telling you. The lady of the house pointed out that I have been neutered....Yes. I'm fine with that, allthough it upset me a bit when I realised what had happened. But she tells me it was all for my best, and I have to believe her. So, now you know.

Take a trip down memory lane

Fellow cats, today I happend to find some old pictures of me when I was a tiny fuzzy furball of a cat, a small kitten. Nawwwww.... Oh how nostalgic I got all of a sudden.  Time flies so fast my friends, and still these pictures feel like they were taken yesterday. Look at the pictures, just how cute a kitten can get:

 

Look at those innocent baby blue eyes and that soft and fuzzy kitten fur...Naaawwww...

 

 

The Evil PicMonkey

I have to warn you fellow cats, that never let your staff get introduced with a photo editing tool called PicMonkey. Just don't allow that to happen. The lady of the house has unfortunately found it,  and she edits all kinds of stupid and false pictures of me. See:

Look what she has done! This picture has nothing to do with reality. First of all, there aren't spiders hanging from our ceiling, and my eyes aren't red. Also, if there were spiders like that, I most certainly wouldn't be scared of them. Never. This picture is manipulated, it gives a totally twisted picture of me.

So never let your staff play with that evil program, it won't end well I'll tell you... It won't end well...
