I was talking to Craig about this dilemma last night, and when the conversation wrapped up, I went in search of the cats.
I found Charlene sitting on the rug in the guest room. She was mid-bath, and she paused when I entered the room.
With my hands at my hips, I leaned over her and said "I need some content! Can't you guys do something interesting?"
Without missing a beat, Bean hopped to her feet began heaving, and two seconds later she produced a hairball on the rug and right at my feet. She gave me a look that said "That's all I got," and licked her lips.
It wasn't exactly what I was looking for, but I thanked Bean for her effort, and went to the kitchen for a roll of paper towels.
Don't worry, I won't be sharing any photos of the "content" she produced.
How 'bout just a picture of our lovely, slightly cross-eyed girl.
Careful what you ask for!
ReplyDeleteBe careful with what you wished for. Personally, I am in heaven just looking at Bean and Wylla.
ReplyDeleteWow whee the Queen Charlene Butterbean on the first day of april, all is right in the world she looks so regal and happy..It is in the 70's and sunny out this way we are not far in Vancouver Washington when we went to Skagit county to La Conner for some daffy and tulip fun and fresh fish at the waterfront low and behold there was a lady walking her sweet kitteh cat on a leash, everyone knew this beauty and she looked just like your Queen it was early morning before big crowds she owns a business there and she is the shop we made sure to stop by and pet the other Queen of that village, what a beautiful cat and so well behaved I thought of Charlene Butterbean as we whizzed by Tacoma and all you do for the IBKC! Smooches to the Queen and also for Princess Wylla Stout..If we ever get some time I would love to visit where you live in Tacoma and bring a donation for this wonderful IKBC in person it would be wonderful have a gorgeous weekend! Ciao!XXX()()()()XXXX()()()()

Please don't make yourself crazy by trying to find content for 5 days! I love all your posts but would definitely not mind at all if you didn't post every day. We want you to love doing this and not burn out! I think all your blog readers would understand. :o)
ReplyDeleteI agree with Deb. This site is one of my daily pleasures but we would definitely not want you to burn out! Soon enough there will be more itty bitties to provide lots of daily cute :)
DeleteWell done, Charlene. Well done. Enjoy this sunny day.
ReplyDeletePersonally I love the strolls down Memory Lane of past kittens. But I snorted when I read this. Yep, you asked for "content" and Charlene delivered!
ReplyDeleteI am still feeling the bliss of yesterday's "forgotten" treasures. I'm doling them out one by one to cheer up my 89-year-old mother - with great results.
ReplyDeletePixel has become so considerate about heaving... she'll do a little of it to get my attention. And then gives me JUST enough time to run for a paper towel to put down and then she does her business. So considerate!
ReplyDeleteLet's send a shout out to alumni to give us updates then ;)
ReplyDeleteWe are in autumn and thank goodness the kittens have slowed a bit here. My cat pleasures have recently tripled with my neighbour cat finally condescending go talk to me and discovering I'm a dab hand with a brush, and my 80 Y/o Mum adopting a lanky tabby boy who had need of a forever home but was being overlooked because the kittens were cute
Seconding the alum updates. I'd love to see pictures and hear how they have their humans totally wrapped around their paws.
DeleteI'd love a post or two about your crafty endeavors!! But also agree with the people above, don't wear yourself out!!
ReplyDeleteTrust Miss Charlene to raise an appropriate "Reply" to your question!
ReplyDeleteSo giving and considerate, Queen Bean is. XD Have you asked Wylla?
ReplyDeleteThe cat always gets the last word... or hairball. Bean is so helpful!
ReplyDeleteCharlene is so helpful! you asked and she provided! what a sweetie!
ReplyDeleteYou asked...and received.
ReplyDeleteThanks for not sharing her "content" - I get enough at my own home. A suggestion for kitten-less blogging - "guest kittens". You could have readers send a picture and little bio about a cat/kitten they are currently fostering. With readers all over the country it could even facilitate an adoption. Of course there would have to be a Bean or Wylla update first but it might help our need for a kitten fix.
ReplyDeleteCute idea!
DeleteThat's what Charlene thinks of content on demand requests. Lol.
ReplyDeleteTHanks for the post! A pic of Charlene is always worth the time. (as for hairballs, we got those already, so thanks for leaving that out ;)
ReplyDeleteThank you Bean for being so faithful and responsive. You are truly appreciated !!!
ReplyDeleteI , personally , loves updates on your former fosterkitties . 'Before and now ' pictures are almost my favourite content on your page . Maybe you could get some new updates ?
ReplyDeleteNow, that's what I call production. Way to go, Charlene. LG approves (I just hope he isn't inspired to do likewise). :-)
ReplyDeleteI am so very VERY grateful for your blog! It's some of the happiest funnest stuff there is on the internet! One suggestion I would have - maybe share some of your solutions to common foster problems -- like, how to introduce solid foods, how to bathe and dry a baby kitten without it getting cold, how to persuade a teeny kitten to suck a bottle when they don't like it -- etc.? I know some of the problems would be more family friendly than others :-) but I would love to benefit as a foster from your huge experience, and it would be fascinating to all!
