Kitties!

::meow::
The Baby here.
Do you see me?
Ta Daa!!! Here I am!
I was hunting lizards in the Lantana.
Come with me on down to the other end of the yard, I want to show you what Daddy did earlier this week.
He put in a Fall vegetable garden!
Here in the desert it's possible to get a second crop of veggies, so Daddy planted kale, butter lettuce, tomatoes, purple bell peppers...and catnip, of course. This is the first year he's tried this...he and Mommy are excited to see what's gonna grow--Mommy is dreaming about fresh organic salads already.
I think everything is growing pretty well.
Now I have other, more important Catly things to do!
Like nap under the arborvitae while Mommy has a cuppa joe and reads her book.
But first, I need some pets...
Kitties, we have an announcement: Mommy is OFF WORK for the next sixteen days, and she has declared a sporadic blogcation! We said it was OK, just this one time...possibly we were bribed just a tiny bit by the thought of all the extra lap and play time. (Not that they'd ever admit to it--ed) Mommy will be zipping down to Tucson to see Shadow and the Grandpawrents, so expect a post or two from the Remote Catio...and who knows what else...with our Mommy anything could happen!
In the meanwhile we'll be lurking around here and there, and back in business by October 14, if not before--see ya then!
Happy Monday!
XX The Baby XX
Hang on, hang on - something doesn't add up. Mommy is of work, and this is when she says she'll have a blogcation. Err, no, we don't think so! What is it with these illogical humans?
ReplyDeleteWell, we hope there's loads of lap time and play and garden supervision for you in it. And of course a visit to Shadow is most important.
We love the idea of an autumn crop of veggies and 'nip. Here we are fast approaching winter. Pöh.
1. Did you leave a "deposit" in the garden?
ReplyDelete2. Whaddya mean blogcation???
3. Be sure to get filthy before you go inside. (we like a dirty girl)
4. Tell Mom to have a great time!
Good thing your daddy planted some catnip in the fall garden!
ReplyDeleteI know thirteen kitties that are going to be spoiled rotten--okay, make that fourteen--while your mommy is off work ;)
That is a great garden Baby. Thanks for showing it to us. We here have no garden of our own, only a corridor for our mommy to plant flowers. We hope your mommy has a good time visiting your grandpawrents.
ReplyDeleteTell your mommy to have fun and enjoy her vacation.
ReplyDeleteI would kill the male person if he planted another garden....
Can I tell you a really embarrassing secret about my human? She is such a terrible gardner, not to mention really lazy, that she has actually considered HIRING a crew to put in a vegetable garden and tend to it at our house! There is a service that does just that right in our neighborhood, so I guess my human is not the only lame/ lazy one. She really wants fresh kale.
ReplyDeleteBTW, you kitties are EASY - I would never let my human take a blogcation for such an easy bribe.
Enjoy your outdoor time. Garden looks lovely. Hope your Mummy has a great time. :)
ReplyDeleteDon't be too irresistibly naughty during your blogcation that your peep has to blog anyhow. Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteHope you found a little pet to play with , The Baby :)
ReplyDeleteSounds grreat that your mom-person are going to have a sixteen day´s off work time !
XOXO
I predict a little color. Yes, indeedy! Enjoy your blogcation!
ReplyDeleteA second crop of veggies is terrific! We'd need a greenhouse for that here. :-)
ReplyDeleteTell your mom to have a fabulous vacation!
If you pee on the plants they will grow faster!
ReplyDeleteThe REAL Maple Syrup Mob xxxxx
Pee Ess, we are not allowed near the seedlings in the window because Mummy and Daddy don't want them to grow too fast.
Ooo, a second garden, lucky you! And we are glad to hear you will soon be spoiled, I mean, treated like you should be while your mom is off.
ReplyDeleteBABY WHATEVER YOU DO.....DO NOT LET JOHNNY IN THE GARDEN HE MIGHT EAT ALL THE PRODUCE..
ReplyDeleteHUGS MADI YOUR BFFF AND HAPPY VACAY TO MOM
jealous of:
ReplyDelete1) second garden (as our weather has become decidedly fall like)
2) mom's vacation.
weird that daddy would plant stuffs in your outdoors litter box, kinda gross actually but humans are weird like that.
ReplyDeleteThat is a great fall garden we bet you will have lots of organic veggies, now we just wonder if um er you fertilizer it organically for them Baby?? Hope your Mom enjoys her blogocation! Have a safe trip and we'll see you when you get back.
ReplyDeleteKnow your Mommy will enjoy her blogcation, but we will miss all of you, but we will get to see Shadow!
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to watching your garden grow, especially the nip.

Well! I ask you!!!!???? A blogcation! This is an outrage! Humans are so darn lazy! Wait! No! That's us kitties for 20 hours of every day!
ReplyDeleteBaby, did you christen the nip?
Very cool to have a double garden if that is what you could call it.
ReplyDeleteAnd keep the Mom working the pets.
The help can get very lax if you do not keep a firm paw on them

ReplyDeleteThat garden is going to produce some yummy greens for everybody! Tell your Mama to have a fun and relaxing vacation :)
ReplyDeletethe critters in the cottage xo
Are you really on a blogcation or are you writing your novel, "Hunting lizards in the Lantana"?
ReplyDeleteWhat a fantastic trip to the garden. You have lots of plants to visit, planters to climb and stuff to rub on. I wish I were allowed out free. I have to wear a harness and it sometimes freaks me out.
ReplyDeleteYour mommy and daddy are going to have some very yummy fresh salads. It looks like the tall plant has a pepper shaped cat toy on it that needs to be whapped.
ReplyDeleteYou can hide real good. That garden looks so nice. I wish I had one indoors like that.
ReplyDeleteMy Human has been SOOOO unreliable about helping me visit. It's a disgrace, especially since you are looking so fetching, The Baby. You are kind of clean though--could you get a little FD for me?
ReplyDeleteThe Baby you are Queen there in the Garden and what great duties you preform. Enjoy a good R n R with Mom and the lounge cats.
ReplyDeleteYour veggie garden looks fantastic! Fresh organic salad sounds great. And of course fresh catnip :-)
ReplyDeleteI hope your mom will enjoy vacation and blogcation!
You hunt for lizards? Are those anythin' like snakes? My sister Constance and my dad are real snakers.
ReplyDeletePurrs,
Nissy
Our mom kind of neglected her veggie garden this summer. And then lo and behold, a big fall crop of ARUGULA AND CHARD!! Now she's very busy trying chard recipes, because that chard is MAMMOTH.
ReplyDeleteWe hope your mom has a good blogcation. Our mom seems to take them and not tell anyone she's away. She is very unreliable, but she's very good at taking care of US, which is the most impawtant thing!
MOWZERS - KALE! Our mommy's officially jealous. Our garden is winding down and it was especially plentiful with tomatoes this year - hey, if you plant basil, you could have a great italian thingy going there with your tomatoes :-)
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your blog-caytion!!
We hope you are all enjoyin a wunnerful calm blogcation!
ReplyDeleteIsn't she back yet???!!!!
ReplyDeleteHow are you kids holding up without your mommy? We could not survive that long!
ReplyDeleteP.S. We wanted to thank you for your kind thoughts when PQ went to the Bridge. It's getting a little easier for us each day.
Hasn´t it gone 16 day´s soon ?!
ReplyDeleteI miss you <3
XOXO
ENjoy your vay-cay!
ReplyDeleteImagine, planting veggies in the fall! While I'm out madly covering tomatoes in hoping of getting another week out of them before the frost prevails...
YOu guys OK? Haven't heard from you in two weeks! Purrs.
ReplyDeleteSigh, Miss you! XOX T.
ReplyDeletemiss you.. the 14th can't come soon enough
ReplyDeleteWe are having Lounge Kat withdrawal. We hope you're having a great blogcation. We miss you!
