Its Me, Ali Z!

Hello all you Kitties and Pups!

I am a day late this week, did anyone notice?  We just have a few questions this week, so

we can start.  But first I want to tell you, I had lots of comments last week and that was nice but I just respond to questions with ? after them.  Just so you know.

Martha and Bailey, our Basset friends from Scotland, were kind enough to say I was the smartest cat they know and wanted to know if I went to university.  The answer to that, is No, I never went to university. I try to learn something new every single day, and I use all the books and computer sites I can to find things out.

Its something that almost anyone could do and I highly recommend challenging yourself to do this.  Learning can be very much fun!

Hamish the Westie wrote about one of his neighbors, a cat called MacTavish who is starting a blog.  Since she has no dogs in the house to help her out, he wants us to give her a few hints to get her started.  Hamish thinks she may be intimidated by the fact her humans are 'real' writers.  He says we can find her at http://mactavish-mactavish.blogspot.com/   Now Hamish, I was unable to get this url to work, so I wonder if they have started up or not?  As far as writing goes, just advise her to write what she knows.  Cats have ancient intelligence that no 'real' writer could touch and she will write a charming blog, I am sure with that, and with her daily doings.  Personally, I think she is Blessed not to live with a dog.  Nothing personal, Hamish!

The Thundering Herd's Rusty wrote me and said his brothers and sisters laugh at him for falling off the bed.  He says when he is asleep, he rolls over so that he falls off the bed or couch or lap or whatever.  He says further, its no big deal, and he just shakes himself, climbs back up and goes back to sleep.

Now, Rusty, I read your blog and have noticed you are called the Class Clown, and march to a bit of a different drummer.  Perhaps when this happens to you, (and I am only guessing) you are dreaming of doing something clownish to amuse your family, and  start sleep moving and fall off!  I think its OK that you do this, but I would caution you not to hit your head on anything when you fall.  In other words, before you settle down for your sleep, you check out the area for things that could hurt you.  You don't want to do any brainal damage to yourself! 

Last is Huffle Mawson , with a question and an announcement!

Huffle is sponsoring the 2010 Cat Olympics.  The category is competitive napping.  That is where you snooze and especially if you are snoozing in a forbidden spot!   You can go to her blog, just click on her name, go down a post, and read all about it.  I have joined and I hope I win something! 

Now, for Huffle's question:  How can I remind Mum to buy me Ham every week?

You might need your Dad's help on this one, Huffle, I suggest you type up a little badge that says:

BUY HUFFLE HAM , print if off, cut it out and affix it to your Mum's bag or her jacket .  Make sure it is someplace she looks everyday!  I bet then she won't be forgetting!

Thanks everyone for your questions, and we will be back on schedule next Tuesday, so be sure you put your question into a comment to this post.

Last week's Max Tour was so wonderful if you were not able to read all the posts, go to Max's blog and scroll down a bit, you will find a listing of all the posters and you can visit those you missed.  Sometimes you dogs really do know what you are doing!

Meow, meow,
