Gwampa is 69 years old, and despite the fact that he is vewy intelligent and has a post graduate degree, he has until recently steadfastly refused to learn how to do much with a computer. This despite the fact that Mommy has been online for ten years now and has been willing to teach Gwampa how to do email and how to navigate the Internet. Mommy gave up trying to gently hint at Gwampa about his needing to learn how to use a computer, about six months ago. WELL!! This was tantamount to Unintentional Reverse Psychology, because... NOW GWAMPA WANTS TO USE MOMMY'S COMPUTER!!! ***EEK!!! Shrieks emanating fwom Maggie and Mommy's computer* We know Gwampa, and we know him well enough that he is slow to try trendy new things like being online but once he gives in, he will be using our computer ALL THE TIME! We won't like it if we can't use our computer whenever we want! Please send up prayers and good thoughts that Santa will bwing us another computer this winter!

And what if Gwampa starts reading my blog? Or Mommy's blog? Oh my! Gwampa is not only a research chemist, he is a technical editor and he will be telling us how to write better, which we guess could be a good thing.

Be careful with your humans, kittehs. They are unpwedictable critters. You never know when they are going to want to borrow your computer and not let you have it back when you want to use it!!

Gwampa will pwobably turn into a Computer Nerd. Well, I will just sit on his lap while he uses the computer and enjoy surfing the 'net and sending email... and shopping for Gourmet Gerbil Juice and Imported French Chipmunk Champagne with him. This way I won't have to hide what I've already ordered online with Gwampa's credit cards...

Dear Kitty Fans,

My mommy caught wind of the fact that Xanga now works with the offline blog editor Windows Live Writer, and she sez that this will make it easier for her, er, I mean MOI to blog on a more regular basis. Let me entertain you! My mommy, er, I mean I spent a little while this afternoon typing up some Vewy Interesting Cat Quotations to share with the Wonderful and Wacky World of Xanga on a daily basis. I am sorry, but these are quotes ABOUT cats, not by cats. We cats are a species unto ourselves (what in the Sam Hill does THAT mean?! I heard someone who was allegedly vewy smart and learned say that once and I don't know what it means, but it sounds good! Ha ha HA!).

I digress. We kitties are a cute but sneaky bunch, and we don't allow ourselves to be quoted on the Internet. Our words would be misconstrued and misunderstood at every turn. This, of course, is assuming that any of you mere humans are intelligent enough to speak and comprehend Advanced Kitty-ese. When some of you drink Dr. Pepper combined with eating Double Chocolate Butter Rum Melt in Your Mouth Brownies in vast quantities, you are capable of thinking in a manner similar to a cat on a Catnip Trip to the Moon. What I meantersay is that during those kind of moments (when the caffeine, the polyethylene glycol, the chocolate, the rum, and the sugar provide a synergistic effect similar to Catnip use in the superior species of felines), you are capable of thinking and speaking in Kitty-ese. Buuuuuuuuuuuut, it's still not quite enough (by far!) to help you understand completely the extraordinarily superior Feline Humor. In other words, Cat Jokes are totally wasted on you mere humans. But, we love you anyway!

Back to the original intent of this blog entry: Please stay tuned for Cat Quotations! Mommy and I think you Kitty Fans will quite enjoy the ever so droll and amusing quotes and the pretty and/or comical graphics. And, from time to time, I will share recipes for Charcoal Grilled Chipmunks, as well as enlighten you about the finer points of spoiling your Supreme Kitty Masters. Also, there will be pictures from I Can Has Cheezburger.

Have a Happy Weekend!
