It’s really hard work being a kitten. You have to sit up and pose for crazy photographers making strange noises trying to grab and hold your attention.
 

You have to attack stuff and kill things, or at least pretend to. You have to steal socks and carry them around all afternoon.

Q-tips, too. Have any idea how difficult it is to find those?
 

It ain’t easy being smarter than humans.

And face it, it’s tough being the prettiest.

Not to mention what being doted on, cuddled and kissed all day long does to you.

Yup, growing up ain’t easy.

    Bodhi

    Meet Bodhi, our 12-week-old British Shorthair, and the latest addition to our family. Not sure why but I envisioned a timid, shy kitten wandering the house, anxiously hiding in corners while crying out for his mom and siblings. Should’ve known we’d end up with a tiny fur-ball who confidently zooms all over the house, simply ruling the place. He took over my favourite spot on the couch and demands attention,…

Its function is to level water by pumping high water from one area (polder) to…

          Filed under: Expressions,food related,Home,life — Tags: , , — Kay @ 8:55 am

          You can buy produce out of season these days. At supermarkets you can get most fruits and vegetables all-year round. Yuck. Watery and flavorless strawberries in March. Asparagus in December. So wrong. Even restaurants use ingredients that really shouldn’t be available. Not only do you sacrifice a lot of flavour, but it’s also crazy expensive to buy out-of-season produce. So what vegetables are in season for April?   Beets Cauliflower…
