Cats on Tuesday 2007-12-11 11:53:00 This past Tuesday
I posted that Anela was apprehensive about the weather, and as it turned out, she was a BETTER weather forecaster than the professionals who said there would only be gusty conditions. Instead Maui experienced without a doubt the worst storm in at least 50 years!There was a power outage island-wide with some folks being without power for four days. Flooding and never-ending rain went on for nearly a week, and trees downed on roadways kept many people from going to work. Schools were closed. And during this time, Anela wisely stayed in HER bedroom and didn't even come down to eat her breakfast on some days.Now that the sun has returned, Anela is sleeping in her favorite sun-bathing spots, and she's a happy cat again.
Cats On Tuesday 2007-12-04 15:29:00 The weather has been bewildering and unsettling for Anela lately. First, there was rain for several days which wasn't to her liking. Now it's very sunny & windy, and she keeps looking out the window with apprehension. The radio news says to tie everything down outside because for the next two days it's going to be very gusty. I told Anela to be careful and try not to get blown away like in the Wizard of Oz.I took this photo of her today on the stairs leading up to what she thinks is HER bedroom. Actually, it's our gym, art studio, and guest bedroom, but she has a different opinion. It's very challenging to get a shot of Anela looking at the camera because she's really camera shy, so this one little close-up took me many attempts. Read more:Tuesday
Cats On Tuesday 2008-03-11 14:49:00 If you've noticed that I haven't updated this blog in awhile, it's because I've had a BAD case of Spring Fever and have found myself avoiding the computer for the most part. However, Queenie (better known as Anela The Boss Lady) told me I couldn't forget HER day--the Cats on Tuesday
day created by Gattina! So here I am posting again on COT despite the fact that I'm eager to be outside on Maui on another gorgeous Spring day!Many of our cats have it sooo good. They have delicious food and treats given to them....they sleep most of the time when they're not having fun playing with toys or other cats...zero taxes or bills to pay....and they have devoted cat slaves at their beck and call. Cats aren't expected to guard your property like dogs., and they have zero obligations or duties. All cats
Health and Second Chances 2008-03-15 13:56:00 When I became seriously ill in 2007 and nearly checked out, I became too weak to exercise or move around a lot--so I spent more time on the computer doing health research.During this time period, I subscribed to many medical and alternative doctors and health publications on the Net--so much so that my two email boxes are full every day! I can't begin to read all of them, and at this point there is a huge backlog of information because my health has (mostly) returned. I'm active again and thus not spending as much time on the computer.During this intense health research period of my life, I was also forwarded health information from friends about products, news, healing groups, healers of all kind, and procedures. Having always considered myself a health-oriented person, I was shocked to d Read more:Health

Cats On Tuesday--Time For a Close-Up 2008-03-18 12:35:00 Anela here. Time for me to have my say again in a post on Cats on Tuesday
!I've noticed my Lady hasn't shown any recent close-up photos of me, and so today I posed for her so you can see I'm maintaining myself quite well. Do I look like an old cat? Seriously???My secrets for remaining youthful are lots of exercise, beauty rest, plentiful treats, good head scratches from my Lady, and attentive service from my Number One Cat Slave. Every now and then I like it raw, so I go catch myself a bird, gecko, or mouse. I don't bring them inside anymore because I learned my Lady doesn't like it when I do this. She used to give me a disgusted look whenever I left feathers hanging around. So I finally caught-on when I saw THAT look and the vacuum cleaner taking all the feathers away.I've overheard my La Read more:Close
Cats On Tuesday--Celebrity Cats 2008-05-06 15:58:00 I've returned from my long journey several weeks ago, but it's taken me some time to catch-up again to my blog routine. One of the places I visited was the Hemingway Home in Key West Florida, and one of the funniest things was watching the celebrated Hemingway cats get photographed by tourists from all over the world, and the cats just kept sleeping and acting as if they didn't even notice!Of course, these aren't the original cats owned by Hemingway, but the cat tradition lives on, and these celebrity cats are very well taken care of it seems. They even have their own cat houses in the backyard. The last photo is a painting of the original Hemingway cats on the wall of the old Hemingway House which you can tour." Ernest Hemingway was given a six-toed cat by a ship's Read more:Tuesday

Cats On Tuesday 2008-05-20 14:08:00 Anela is once again happy as we've settled back into our routines, and so I don't have much of excitement to share with you about her. Life is GOOD!However, I'd love to share this cool item I discovered online. It's for refined, discriminating cats such as Anela, aka Queenie. I think I might possibly have found a way for her to get interested in my blogging and computer world which she has always Read more:Tuesday

R Cows Making Us Mad? 2008-06-25 13:30:00 I've been following the Mad Cow controversy for a long time, and my suggestion to be safe on the safe side is to eat grass-fed beef. Here's a link to a great website where you can order online:

Cats On Tuesday--When Anela Was A Baby 2008-06-23 21:12:00
Recently I received a card in the mail from Basha who was the human who had adopted Anela as a baby. Basha then brought Anela to me with a giant bow around her, and even though I hadn't planned on adopting another cat, Anela was so tiny and cute and adorable, how could I refuse?
Now I've been owned by Anela for way too many years to count.
The top photo with Anela and a beer bottle was the o Read more:Tuesday
Cats On Tuesday--Cat Yoga 2008-07-07 22:04:00 Anela here: for all my cat friends, please observe my hatha yoga position. This one is great for us old cats as we need a really good stretch to keep ourselves limber and youthful. Stretch your front legs over your head, hold, and breathe through your pain while envisioning Temptation Treats.Once you're finished with this stretching exercise, take a relaxing sun bath. The Vitamin D is extremely g Read more:Tuesday
Cats On Tuesday--Anela Sees The Invisible World 2008-06-30 21:20:00 Don't you love it how your cat(s) alert you to energies--or perhaps ghosts or other invisible beings--visiting your home? Recently Anela pointed out the visit of one of these to our home, and she made sure my partner and I noticed where her eyes were going!She followed this 'energy' around our home with her gaze, and we watched her and said, "Oh yeh!

Cats On Tuesday--Anela Scores 2008-07-22 13:33:00 Anela Here: Today was my lucky day! Ya see, my Numero Uno Cat Slave was half-awake, and when he was giving me my morning Temptations treats, he also gave me guppy food!So I thought to myself, "Why not give this guppy food a try! It smells good, and every day the guppies gobble it up!"And ya know what--I liked it too! Now I'm gonna demand BOTH because that's the kind of cat I am--I know what I want Read more:Tuesday
Cats On Tuesday--Sunny Summers 2008-07-15 13:26:00 Anela here: Summertime is my favorite season on Maui, and here's the reason why: less rain! I dislike the rain because it keeps me indoors, and since I love to lounge around outdoors and take sunbaths, rain is a total bummer.I've never liked water, and lucky for me, my cat slaves don't bathe me. They let me take care of that myself. So sometimes I'll run through the sprinklers just for a quickie r Read more:Tuesday

Cats On Tuesday--Anela Awaits The Party 2008-08-05 12:22:00 Anela Here: I'm very excited because my Cat Slaves are throwing a BIG party, and I LUVS parties. This gives me the opportunity to sniff people up on my territory which feels comfortable to me. And this saves me the time to go looking for people to give more MORE attention.My Numero Duo Cat Slave has been moving everything around in preparation for this party, and she barely gives me any attention Read more:Tuesday

Cats On Tuesday--Anela Yearns 2008-07-29 15:19:00 Anela Here: It's MY day again today--Cats On Tuesday
! My Cat Slave hasn't taken any recent photos of me because she's been too busy preparing for the arrival of yet another Cat Slave to temporarily live with us. I like this incoming Cat Slave as she knows just how to pet me, plus she likes to spend time with me telling me how wonderful I am.While awaiting her arrival, I pester my other Cat Slave t
Cats On Tuesday--Anela Poses 2008-08-26 12:38:00 Normally when I approach Anela with my camera, she doesn't much care to have her picture taken, and she either gives me a disgusted look or bends her head down to avert the camera lens or runs away.For today's Cat On Tuesday
, my plan was to photograph Anela napping on her favorite double dragon rug.However, the moment I snuck-up on her with my camera in hand, her eyes opened ever so slightly, and
Cats On Tuesday--Anela Sez Phooey On Football Parties 2008-08-12 19:43:00 Anela Here: As you may recall from my last post, I was looking forward to the Big Party my slaves were throwing so that I'd get more attention! Well, lemme tell ya: I stayed away until the party was over. My Cat Tribe wasn't there in human form!Cats know their slaves...err, the human race. When people come around who are 'cat-people', cats gravitate to them. The signal goes out over the Cat-Dar! N Read more:Tuesday
