Hairdo? Hairdon't!

My Mommeh does not normally like to show pictures of herself, but today I must insist. I am very lucky because I have naturally curly furs. But my Mommeh, she has stick-straight hair. Actually, even a stick has more body than my Mommeh's hair. Let us look. This should be funny!

Here is the hair she was borned with. Straight and wispy! Poor little Mommeh. I think the barrette was a good try here.

Sadly, she went through the 80's "big hair" phase. I think it might have been the 80's "short pants" phase, too.

This is at a party only a few years ago. Waaaaay too long, Mommeh! Um, and what are you drinking there? (In case you were wondering, the blurry-headed man is my Daddeh).

The long hair apparently led to some hair-peeled-back mugshot moments. I had mercy on my Mommeh and gave this photo a little blur.

Here, Mommeh. I will go to Taaz and give you some cute virtual hair. That is a little better. I do not know why you cannot make your hairs look like that in real life.

This is how she has been wearing her hairs for the past few years. But I have some scairty news for you...

Her hair is starting to get long again...... AAAAaaaahhhhhhh!

More Fun with Outtakes!

Since I already dressed up yesterday, today seems like a good day for some fun with our recent outtakes! These photos are exactly as they came out of the camera, except they are shrunken in size. The first image is Harley modeling the Princess crown. A loud noise startled him and his hat flew up in the air. Hahahahaha!

This is me during my pumpkin patch modeling session. I noticed an interesting smell on my hand. It was not perfume.

Harley thinks he is modeling good, but his wig is crooked!
Oopsie! I jumped up for a treat at the wrong time.

I model for treats, but Harley models for fun playtime with the Cat Dancer. He usually gets so distracted by the toy that he forgets to pose correctly.

I like to jump around a lot. But my jumping pictures are usually unplanned like this one.

Harley. Going after a toy again!

I am proud and excited to participate again this year in Mimi's Blogblast for Peace! Here is the Peace Globe I made this year.

I also got this special tee-shirt. I have to show it to you on the hanger so you can easily see the special slogan. It says "Love, Hugs, Peace." And there is even a planet earth on the front!

I have been thinking and thinking about this day, and I decided to write a poem. I hope you enjoy it!

Through Cat Eyes
Coats of brown, black, white, or tabby
they are all the same to me
Our furs long, short, plush or curly
they are just coverings you see
Purebred diva or shelter rescue
we're all one family
If a cat can make a difference,
then man can, too, surely
A world of peace and harmony
one day will come to be
~ by Daisy

Harley wanted to wear the tee-shirt and make a special picture, too. Here he is imaging a world at peace.

Can you see that my heart is filled with hope and love?

A PSA from Harley During Cold and Flu Season

Cheese, PLEASE!

You know I love my treats! So, I made a movie with me and my Mommeh sharing some delicious CHEESE! I love cheeses. Get inside my mouth, delicious treat!

Nom, nom, nom!

Professor Daisy on Foods

Hello, students! Today, let us give some thought to foods for cats. I like to think about foods. Do you?

My question for you today is what type of food do you think cats are most well-designed to eat?

A. Wholesome grains
B. Fresh fruits and Vegetables
C. Meat
D. An equal mix of all of the above

The correct answer is C! We cats are what is called "obligate carnivores." That means we are true, strict carnivores and by our genetic makeup, we were designed to eat meats. Even though we can eat other sorts of foods, we should eat meat as our main source of nutrients. And meats taste very extra-delicious, too!

Cats have strong stomach acids and a comparatively shorter digestive tract. ("Divestive tract" is a fancy way of saying your guts!) This makes for quicker digestion and minimizing the chances of harmful bacteria causing problems. Because of our shorter guts, a carnivore's diet should be concentrated and highly digestible and low in residue. We cats do not have a need for dietary carbohydrate, and are best adapted for a protein- and fat-rich diet.

What is in your food bowl? Harley and I are completely off the dry kibble now, and we love our raw meat medallions. The chicken flavor is 95% chicken, raw ground bone, turkey and liver. It is grain free, and the other 5% is fruits and vegetables. We also eat rabbit, beef, and venison flavors.

This is some stuff I learned. But I am just a curly cat, so I cannot advise you on what diet is best for you. Be sure to talk to your veterinarian if you have any questions about feline nutrition. Here is a link to an article called "The Carnivore Connection to Nutrition in Cats" if you would like to do more reading.
