(veiled) threat thursday

back on mancat monday, my best frend, skeezix, asked if i'd gotten any action yet. yup, i had. right after mom snapped that picture, i heard an outside kitty jump up on the barbecue grill. the grill sits on the hard floor outside where the green machine lives, next to the window behind my dad's head when he sits in "his" chair.

always ready to rush into action, i took the shortest path between two points (floor to window). i learned some new words for the "don't say" list. it's not MY fault his head makes such a good springboard!

right after mom put the camera down--frustrated 'cause i couldn't maul, er, greet the outside kitty--i lashed my tail an' it smacked dad upside the head all the way to his nose. so he grabbed it . . . an' PUT THE BITEY ON IT! then HE learned some KITTY-words that are on the "don't say" list!! dang--i only put the tiniest of holes in his head, an' he fought back wif a whole mouthfulla teeth. not fair! they keep their bedroom door closed, so i couldn't even poop on his pillow! that's ok; you know what khan said about revenge. *kitty-smirk*

(meower mom sez: no cats were harmed in the episode described above. they only think they were.)

dona nobis pacem


ABOU BEN ADHEM
Abou Ben Adhem (may his tribe increase!)
Awoke one night from a deep dream of peace,
And saw, within the moonlight of his room,
Making it rich and like a lily in bloom,
An Angel writing in a book of gold:--
Exceeding peace had made Ben Adhem bold,
And to the Presence in the room he said,
"What writest thou?" The Vision raised its head,
Answered, "The names of those who love the Lord."
"And is mine one?" said Abou. "Nay, not so,"
Replied the Angel. Abou spoke more low,
But cheerly still; and said, "I pray thee, then,
Write me as one that loves his fellow men."
The Angel wrote, and vanished. The next night
It came again, with a great wakening light,
And showed the names whom love of God had blessed,
And lo! Ben Adhem's name led all the rest.

this pome was written in the 1800s by Mr. Leigh Hunt. to 'splain it to us, first mom said that not efurryone believes in a g*d like mr. hunt did. but those who do, believe that g*d is love. an' most of those who don't believe in g*d believe in love, so it seems to our little kitty-brains that it comes to the same thing. an' love is a pretty good thing to have!

so that makes us think that if we would share that love wif efurryone on earth, then we would be blessed wif peace, 'cause those who love each ofurr unnerstand each ofurr, mostly. an' when we unnerstand each ofurr, we don't get mad at each ofurr or hurt each ofurr.

an' we know this won't work completely until efurryone loves efurryone that they don't already love--cats 'n' woofies 'n' beans 'n' all living things--even the ones we think are unloveable. so we're gonna start lovin' efurryone more.

if YOU, dear reader, do that, too, and pass it on to ofurrs, we'll have a pretty good start on PEACE ON EARTH!!

we send you love and kitty kisses!!! --the meowers

peaceful sunday

you prolly know (unless you've been napping constantly since a couple of weeks ago) that wednesday, june 6 is peace globe day. if you have been napping, go see miss mimi or our furry own skeezix for specific instructions on how to create an' display your own peace globe.

heck, you can make a dozen, if ya want. just send the finished product to miss mimi, so she can put in the gallery, an' remember to put yours in a post on the 6th an' call that post "dona nobis pacem". you kin blog about it if you want, or just let your artistry speak with silent eloquence.

even the woofies are getting in on the act. forest dogs haf sent their contribution in. they seem like pretty nice woofies who play tag an' chase just like kitties do! you should check out the videos on their bloggie--they haf a wonderful forest to run an' play in.
