Whenever you observe an animal closely, you feel as if a human being sitting inside were making fun of you. by: Elias Canetti, The Human Province
I often feel this way in Madi's presence...she often looks at me as if she is saying have you lost your mind....
Answers to yesterday's question:
1. Madi snoopervising meal preparation. She has decided to be the first feline to have her own cooking show. Every night when I start supper, she comes running from where ever she might be to sit right on the counter. She watches every move I make with great interest. She never tries to come over or get in the way. Madi loves to be where the action is!!
Madi here: Mom moves like lightning when she cooks. I get lots of good neck exercise.

2. The green stick was given to me at Starbucks. They called it a 'spill stick'. It fits into the lid of to go Venti coffee to go to keep the coffee from splashing out when driving. FYI: It works!!!
Ms. Liz from Caribou Crackers was the first to correctly guess this one!!

Boy was I wrong! I understand the comment about a humnan hiding in there...Mistaya does that to me when she looks at me with a look that yells...Don't you understand what I am trying to say to you?? Can't you read my lips or see what my eyes are saying to you??? She is just too smart! Hugs, Gail
ReplyDeleteWe kinda like the idea of Madi having her own cookery programme - we hope it isn't all fish though.
ReplyDeleteWe must try the green stick with the coffee!

Hi Mom & Madi,
ReplyDeleteI love that quote, it is so true. If we could understand cat language who knows what we would learn and more importantly would we want to know.
Madi, you would make a great hostess for a cooking show. Just no fried mouse please.
You really got us on the stick. I rarely go through the drive-thru at Starbucks. My favorite one is inside a mall.

You sures dat wasn't a shoe hor? Hehehehe! Okays, maybe not.
ReplyDeleteHow come Madi gets to sit on da counter? Dat not fairs...I don't gets to do dat while mum cooks. Wait a minute...her don't cook.
Can I comes to your house and sit on your counter?
Puddles
What a little lady you are, maddie!! I mean, not to touch a thing while sitting on the counter! Not even my kids manage that!
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to tune into you cooking show!
YAY!!! I got it right!!! only because I get one every time I go to Starbucks...hehehehe
ReplyDeleteSo what's cookin today Madi??
Wow! Your own cooking show! I am impressed! I never (hardly ever) go to Starbucks, so never knew about that stick!
ReplyDeleteA cooking show for Madi! That's a great idea! Mama can't believe she didn't guess the spill stick - she's a coffee junkie.
ReplyDeleteYour pal, Pip
"Cookin' with Madi" sounds like a grreat show!
ReplyDeleteMom never goes to da Starbucks fur her coffees, but maybe she should start cuz she is ALWAYS spilling it in da car. :)

Well, I'm not surprised that I wasn't right about the paperweight thing, but am about the swizzle - er - spill stick. I should have asked my human brother, I guess. He's the only one here who goes to Starbucks. Looking forward to Madi's cooking show.
ReplyDeletelotsa licks, Lola
Madi! I snoopervise my mom when she's cooking, too! But, um, I can't say that I don't get in the way. I mean, she might drop something that I'd have to clean up so I have to be close by - REALLY close by.
ReplyDeleteOh, and mom luvs those spill sticks, too. She just doesn't know why it took so long for Starbucks to come up with 'em!

P.S. from Mayzie's Mom - When I was born, my mom had a '66 Mustang. The Mustang didn't last long after I came along either. She's never said anything about the seat but once, when I was only a couple of months old, she put my carrier (with me in it) on the trunk while she got something out of the car. She came back to find that my carrier (with me in it) had slid down off the trunk and landed upside down on the pavement. Luckily I was well strapped in and the carrier protected me in the fall. She said I was unhurt but looked VERY surprised!
My momma loves da Food Network......and I thinks Madi would be purrfect addition to their lineup!
ReplyDeleteHer could be da Next Food Network Star!.....or would her prefer to be da Next Iron Chef?!?!

I often wish I could do a "Vulcan Mind Meld" like Mr. Spock could do on Star Trek, with my dog Raider!
ReplyDeleteWhat is that mind thinking?!
We might be frightened what a diva thinks! LOL
"30 minute meals with Madi"! :)
Madi must get whiplash watching you cook.
ReplyDeleteWe must not have that fancy of Starbucks around here. We's just country folk.
We have lots of snoopervisors at our home! You won't be getting a double chin Madi!!!
ReplyDeleteI've never been to a Starbuck's, can you believe it? I don't drink coffee....but love to smell Hubby's brewing each morning.
ReplyDeleteMadi should write a cookbook!
We'll be watching for the beautiful Madi's cooking show!!!!!!!!! xxxxxxxx
ReplyDeleteHi Madi and Mom,
ReplyDeleteI have never been to a Starbucks either!!! I don't drink coffee unless it is very cold and there is no tea in the house!! I never have really liked it!! So I couldn't have known what it was!
Yes, back to the diet !!
XXOO, Bambi & Fern
Mom only hits up Starbucks one time a year and that day is Black Friday. She MUST get her Peppermint Mocha Latte. It's one of her quirky traditions. We love to be where the action is too. We're always in the kitchen when mom's getting foods ready (she's a klutz and drops stuff) but dad thinks it's a ploy...we don't care either way...we get NOMS!
ReplyDeleteYou are very good Madi to just sit and watch, and to not touch.
ReplyDeleteAre you sure it isn't a toothpick?
ReplyDeleteCookin With Madi sounds like a good name for a show on Food Network!

I've been doing a little blog hopping this evening and I'm glad I did, because I found Miss Madi, who is a very beautiful and thoroughly charming human owner. I am servant to four cats, myself. They are Becky, Gina, Rachael and the lone male in the household, Leon. It's so much fun to find a new blog that you just know you are going to like.
ReplyDeleteMadi, we would watch your cooking show if you had one!!
ReplyDeleteHi, Madi!
ReplyDeleteI'd love to see you in a cooking show!
I do the same everytime my grandma goes to the kitchen. I can't go on the counter but she always feels my whiskers on her ankles!
Kisses and hugs
Lorenza
