Saturday: Cat's Bill of Rights #1

I, Madi, have certain inalienable feline rights...that are not being observed.

I heard Mom reading them from "Chicken Soup for the Soul: Loving our Cats".

I insisted that these rights be posted on Saturdays until they have all been listed and properly observed.

"I have the right to observe and comment on any and all bathroom behavior and....

Further I have the right to be highly offended by any closed door
And FYI this door doesn't completely close so I push it with my nose and walk right in.
When I do this, a cool breeze follows me and whomever is in the shower squeals M A D I....

Then I leave...oh and I don't know how to close the door.
That is so much fun.

Signed,

Madi
NOTE FROM MOM AND MADI: My humans sis and her hubby will be coming to see us on Sunday.....THIS TIME...they will be bring Harley (cat) with them. Harley has been feeling less than PURRfect lately. His vet wants to have some tests run that can only be done at the Special Vet Hospital in Cary on Tuesday morning. I haven't seen Harley in nearly 3 years (he does NOT travel well so he stays home)...Mom has all her fingers, toes, arms, legs and eyes crossed that I behave myself while Harley is here and that I am the PURRfect Hostess. Time will tell....keep all your paws crossed for me.
Maybe Mom can get some pictures of us together....

Pot Luck Friday #7: A 'round' Raleigh

Ohhhh you caught me with my head down...I apologize but I'm a little dizzy

from going a 'round'. You'll never believe what Mom has cooking in the Pot today.

Keep reading and you'll see why I'm dizzy.

Raleigh has a number buildings with very interesting shapes.

Today we are featuring this very round bank.

Mom and Dad watched with amazement as this round building was erected...then imagine our surprise when we found out it was going to be new branch of First Citizen Bank. We certainly didn't expect this design from such an old and established bank.

They have very pretty landscaping. Lots of Crepe Myrtles line the side walk

and these pretty Lantanas are nestled on either side of the front door.

This branch of Frist Citizens is located in the newly revitalized North Hills Area of Raleigh.

I tried to find some information on why this particular 1st Citizens branch was built round....

There did not seem to be a reason. I suspect it was just to fit in with the modern surroundings.

The Madi Bunch

Mom we need to talk....

Madi: Mom please sit down

Mom: I'm sittin', what s'up?

Madi: This is not about what s'up, it is about what is down

Mom: I'm all ears....

Madi: Do you see what I see in this picture right there at my paw?

Mom: Evidently I do not, I don't have cat eyes.

Madi: I see trash right here on the rug

Mom: Well that is where Dad and I come and go a lot. It has been so humid everything

sticks to our feet.

Madi: UNACCEPTABLE...my Diva buttocks sit here nearly every day on

squirrel patrol and bird watching. My Diva buttocks cannot, I repeat, cannot

have trash on them. There will be demerits!!!

Mom: Madi I'm very very sorry. What can I do to rectify this mistake?

Madi: Extra food works for me

Mom: Why doesn't that surprise me? Extra kibble coming right up.
