Happy New (food) Year

This picture says it all.
I like my new food.

It's to help me w/hairballs. If you've never had a cat...you probably don't want to know what those are. I hope this food helps! Speaking of food, here's your next book to check out.

Belial's Best Book: Fast Food Nation, by Eric Schlosser. Many of my human's students say that American food is unhealthy. They're right; on the whole it is. Read this book for an interesting exposé on how it got that way. (ISBN#: 0060838582)

Weather: A mild storm just passed.
Looks like clear (but cold!) skies
for the New Year celebrations tonight.

A Cat's Life...in Japan

Check this out!

Can't say that I'm pampered as much on this side of the Pacific, BUT! I did get some tuna in my bowl for Christmas.

Weather: More of the same. Chilly at night. Warm in the day.

Congratulations

I heard from my human Cindy that her students graduated yesterday. What does THAT mean? She seems conflicted: both happy and sad. Maybe I should graduate, too?

Nah, I'll just take a nap as is par for the course.

Also, she told me a student requested that I start a book club. I think it's a great idea because I know I'll be doing lots of reading w/Cindy during her winter break. So, here's the first of "Belial's Best Book of the Week."

Belial's Best Book: How the Grinch Stole Christmas, by Dr. Seuss. This is a classic holiday tale about a Scrooge-like character who messes up "the big day" for all the Whos in Whoville. DON'T BOTHER w/the Jim Carrey movie version; the book is true magic. (ISBN: 9780394800790)

Weather: Cold, cold, cold at night.
I seek refuge under the bed covers most nights
to soak up my humans' warmth.

Trip or Treat

I just overheard my male human talking on the phone to my lady human: she's going to Target.

I hope she buys me something good. I DON'T want a stupid Santa cat hat like she bought me last year.

Please bring me something of the tuna variety!

Weather: Nice and cool. My winter coat is working out just fine.

NOT cats and dogs

This week we've had two storms come through. Right now it's sprinkling outside. I hope it clears up because I want some sun!

I was thinking of buying my human Cindy this umbrella for Christmas 'cause it's really cute. When it rains and she carries it, she can always remember my thoughtfulness. Guess I need to go check amazon.com!

Weather: Rain. Not cats and dogs, but just drizzly.
