maybe it's lacking something

Even me, I used to say, once seeing many friends posting lots of pet stuff (or, in "real" life, talking SO MUCH about it), that, in fact, it's time to make a baby! That they, actually, need a child... 

Well, who would'a guessed... now it's my time to do the SAME thing! Probably, it is exactly that: my maternal instinct sprouting, the nature speaking up! - after all, I want to have children. Furthermore, I'm old enough to. Yes, indeed, my biological clock may be already ringing...

Considering all love and affection I have on our kitty, I'm pretty sure I'm gonna be a great mommy! (and so does my husand - a father! By the way, he is very gaga about everything concerning her too!)

Althought all wish of being a mother soon, it's not possible by now. Thus, we play with the cat - who have received the whole attention just for her.

Make the most of this moment, Lis! In a while, you'll have a little brother or sister. Or both.

it's all dominated!

Ok, I admit I'm a simple begginer in all this 'cat thing'... That's not to say, though, I simply can't be surprised about the quantity of cat stuff we can find online. It's amazing!

Well, recently, I had a little sample of the wide/colossal love people have for felines watching You Must Love Cats on DVD. I was simply terrified about this fascination.

I needed to say that, then write about it. After all, it IS (really) something! Believe me. Pope resignation, Valentine's Day, Star Wars caracthers, and so on... From current events to very specific fetishs, all kind of stuff you can imagine, it DOES exist linked to cats!

adorable homely world

As "people who lives in glass houses shouldn't throw stones", now, that I have my kitty and I cherish her as I thought I'd never be able to do... I got very excited with all this universe and get into the its spirit: Lis has now her own facebook profile, where she posts everything about her life, preferences etc. It's funny, at least. On the other hand, I frankly haven't wanted to bombard friends (or those who are not sooooo close) with photos and infos about my pussy! (oooops... our! mine and my husband's.)

I own I hate to see some parents (of babies or pets), nonsense, that start to publish only issues and pictures about their children or animals (or both!). They don't take "semancol", otherwise, they'll know that there is life beyond 'family'. I understand their great sentiments (because I have them too!), but moderation is commendable. Sometimes, it's ok, enjoyable, but always(!) - everyday, besides 'nothing else'... it's OVER! Please, recognize it. It sucks.

So, not to bother my audience, I decided to create a new account in order to put just these (cute for some, but hateful for others) content. Furthermore, of course who doesn't appreciate it (at all) wont be invited to became a friend. Thus, we can expose entirely our huge affection for Lis, without disturb anybody not (so) interessed.    

I strongly feel I did the right thing.

Em nome da moral e dos bons costumes, meu luxo aqui é fantasia!

Em francês, eu bem diria "Je cherche des bons costumes"... Em inglês, 'proper costumes' que nada tem a ver com 'morality'. Afinal, a gente ousa no figurino e na alegria!

Pobre gata... Miau!

tueurs en série!

Pas les hommes, mais les chats! 

C'est leur nature. Oui, oui... Le saviez-vous?!

Sous leur air innocent, les chats sont de redoutables tueurs en série qui trucident chaque année des milliards d'oiseaux et de mammifères aux États-Unis, ce qui en fait la première cause de mortalité liée aux activités humaines pour la faune sauvage, estime une étude publiée  récemment (Fonte: AFP).

Donc, attention, animaux! (pas seulement aux États-Unis, mas partout le monde...) Ici, chez nous compris, car on a une prometteuse chasseuse qui est tout temps à regarder la fenêtre: Lis!

la bilingue

Oui, la notre minette l'est:

- Lis, viens ici.

[elle arrive]

- Faz miminho, faz...

[et elle se met à rouler par terre]

- Minha mimosa! Tiens! (des gâteries pour chats)

[elle mange en me regardant] 

- Qui est la plus belle de touts les chats?!

- Miau! [comme je le comprends, ou "Meow" - comme les francophones l'entendent...] 

Et c'est comme ça que se passe le notre harmonieux quotidien félin 'franco-luso'  à Montréal... une ville particulièrement bilingue ♥

happiness

In spite of The Grand Finale of Saltimbanco, among all other great gifts received in this Christmas, the best one was Lis. Without a doubt! 

It came antecipated, in November, and has surpassed all expectations by now. Fortunately.

Top top!

therefore

Smitten, we wish a Merry Christmas for everybody.

never more alone

Illustration by Yasmine

Having a pet, I don't know what is privacy anymore!

Simple personal actions as going to the toilet, for example, are followed by the kitty. CLOSELY.

These are its pros and cons: cute while attached.

For whom mewing is music to the ears, good. The perfect company!

Ever.

Esse é o amor de Lis bela.

exorcising ghosts

Spreaded wings against bother! 
(ou, o pulo da gata... )

Care and sweetness prevail, aim higher in heart.

Nothing better than a a new love to replace an old one.

Bye!

Bizarre.

on the other hand...

Nothing. For good or ill.

Comme peut être simple (et, en même temps, majestueux) le combustible du bonheur, de la joie:

Des câlins avec les pattes, des frôlements sinueux, le miaulement naïf en demandant pour jouer, des regardes qui finissent pour un doux clin d'œil, le ronronner qui n'arrête pas, l'envie de faire dodo ensemble, collée, un 'me suit partout'... 

Tout ça veut dire 'Je t'aime' en "miaowais".
