Winning...

I got a feeling, tonight's going to be a good good night...8 PM.

Quoting CNN

"A historic $640 million jackpot is up for grabs Friday as the Mega Millions lottery is living up to its name.

The multistate jackpot has grown to become the largest ever offered that could be won by an individual(cat or dog). It has captivated the nation, has caused long lines at convenience stores and has many dreaming of creative ways to quit their jobs if they get the lucky numbers."

I'm gonna be one rich kitty and will buy me a country full of mice and little birds and little ponds of fish. Stay tuned folks!

Sunday Update - Let's just say  "things didn't go as planned, i'm still here" :(

Palanquin Bearers

Here's a real palanquin

and here's mine

A broken laundry basket! Serves the purpose though, mum n dad take me on a luxurious ride around the house.

A beautiful poem to go with the post


Palanquin Bearers

Lightly, O lightly we bear her along,
She sways like a flower in the wind of our song;
She skims like a bird on the foam of a stream,
She floats like a laugh from the lips of a dream.
Gaily, O gaily we glide and we sing,
We bear her along like a pearl on a string.

Softly, O softly we bear her along,
She hangs like a star in the dew of our song;
She springs like a beam on the brow of the tide,
She falls like a tear from the eyes of a bride.
Lightly, O lightly we glide and we sing,
We bear her along like a pearl on a string.

Segundo aniversario!!

Yes, its been two years to the day since I arrived here under the name 'Idyllwild' and got re-assigned as Kobe.
A shout out to my caretakers - the nice people at the Escondido Humane Society

Its been a fun ride and no major complaints except I wish i got here after daddy learnt to play the guitar :)
Just kidding...

Not too thrilled about my anniversary picture

No Catatouille at our place!

Couple of days back, my folks were discussing that their Italian friends were coming over for the evening.
I ran as fast I could and hid in the closet for the next several hours. My parents thought it was strange behavior and that I was being rude to our guests.

Trust me, there's a good reason for my reservations. Couple of years back, this was all over the news. Celebrity Italian Chef, 'Beppe' Bigazzi was fired from a TV show for mentioning a cat recipe, yeah you heard it, a Cat recipe on the air!!

IMHO, pasta and cat don't pair well :)

Had a rough weekend
