Tuesday - The Intelligence of The Cat

     Earlier in the day, I and a number of other keyboard jockeys, on a private forum we have been hosting/posting/chattering on for years, were discussing, debating, and generally dissing the intelligence of this and that high muckity-muck, and other such highbrow types that attend the 'elite class' schools, and come away with the 'tude that they are above, and are wiser than, those who did the scholarship routine in a more down to earth 'everyman's' school.  These people ofttimes be in positions of high responsibility, ie: politics and other such ..... and feel they are the only ones with the intelligence to handle the particular job they hold down.  (No offense intended if you feel you fit in that category.  We know you can't help it.  We know dad wanted you to go there, or possibly the head of the house, Mom!)  

     Somewhere down the line it dawned on this old 'scholarship recipient' that the true genius comes in a hell of a lot smaller packages than the individuals we were speaking of .....

     Here, for everyone's edification and general information, is one of the True intellects, and confirmed rulers of the present day world in deep contemplation of one of our major problems the 'wise one' humons haven't been able to solve. 

He's working on the problem at hand, concentrating in both the German and the English languages,  Of course, when the solution to  the major problem is arrived at, this little genius will disclose his simple and most straightforward solution in his OWN language, Catish, which, to this day, NONE of these 'leaders and shakers' of the world have been able to understand.    

 

     I'm sure all this has made some of you wonder, "What is going on here?  What is this crazy old Man talking about?
     Actually, I'm talking about one of 6 little cats that rule my world daily, and, I might add, with a firm paw.  They are wise beyond the human contemplation.  They know when their beans are hungry, they know when their beans are sleepy, they know when their beans want to wake up and go into the kitchen and prepare food for them, open the doors for them, clean the windows for them so they can watch Bird TV, make a lap for them ..... Why is it they know all this when WE don't?  What school did they go to?  Do they look down their noses at those with 'less' intelligence and learning than they?  
     Just a few thoughts for everyone to mull around and consider the next time they start talking about the 'leaders and shakers of the world!'

      Just look at this intelligent little guy.  He's always considering the problems of the world, the faults of the beings that populate all corners of the world, and, at the same time solving the problems his brofurs and sisfurs have to contend with while caring for, raising and training a couple of  'lesser beings', namely the Large One and the Small One.
     Is not this a prime example of the upper echelon of 'Intelligent Beings' of the world?  Lets face it!  Cat is King!  Cat is our superior, our leader, our teacher.  
     Just a few thoughts here ....
     
     Now, a brief note for all: Buddy Bear's Cats' World's Page on FaceBook has been cancelled, as has my account, Roy York Sr.  Buddy will confine his and his clowdermates appearances on the interwebs to this Blog, House Panthers Blog, and an occasional guest appearance on KnightOwl's Roost Blog.   Buddy's Web Site is still on line and open to public view.    
     We're sorry to leave the popular social networks, but we've run into too many unsavory types, namely those who thrive on spamming, slamming, and general disruption.  I'm too old for that crap, so I'm staying where I am, where my friends are, and where I can make a few comments off the top of my head without someone going ballistic and reading words into what I post.    
     Sorry, for the lengthy note, but there it is.  End of note.
     Buddy and the girls and boys will try to continue in a timely manner here.  I'll not make promises I can't keep, but knowing the Bear, we'll be around more often now.  
     Y'all come see us when you can, and everyone take care, be safe, stay warm and dry, look to the care and protection of the little outsiders during these bad winter days ahead.

Here's wishing each and everyone visiting here a verry Merry Christmas.
Should you not be one to celebrate the Christmas Holiday,
then here's to much Holiday happiness in any form or fashion you choose.
Have a great rest of the year, and don't forget to hug your pets.
~Lisa and Roy Sr,
 and Buddy Bear, MikiCato, Tegar, Rowdy, Ms Princes and Ms Smokey~

Wordless Wednesday - Who's that Lurkin behind that chair?

Tuesday - The Tongue Tells the Tale

     

     Hi!  Large One here.  This morning the furrballs are all sleeping in, and I, for some unknown, senseless reason, am wide awake wondering about the why and wherefore of the situation.  So, while my muddled brain is coming alive, I'll tend to Buddy Bear's duties for the day.  

     I came into the computer room just a bit ago to check the weather and read the morning headlines when I noticed the computer turned off.  I turn it off at night and the cats will turn it on in the morning to see the pictures from 'Cat of the Day', 'The daily Kitten', and 'I Can Has Cheeseburger'.  Well, it was still off.  Thinking that a bit strange, I looked and noticed nothing was posted (again) for the Blogs and for the FaceBook Page.  So with camera in hand I turned my chair 180°, poked Buddy in the belly and asked why his work hadn't been done.

     Old ManCat was slow in coming up this time.  Here's what I caught ......  

 Took more than one poke to get this old Purrpot

going this morning.

The Bear woke up with food on his mind.    

His dream meal must have been a feast I'm thinkin.

Looks like he's regretting waking up from that one.

Methinks the question will NOT be answered by this old fellow,

at least not now.

     So now you know, we humans are not the only ones that oversleep from time to time.  No, nor are we the only ones that sleep on the job, and take a cat nap when the boss isn't looking, but DANG, things are getting bad when the BOSS Cat is guilty of all of those habits as well.  

     Guess I'll have to get out my alarm clock and start doing the Blogs and stuff again myself.  I know if I set the clock and leave it in here for the cats they'll just wake up, run in the bedroom and wake ME up.    

     

Visit Buddy Bear and the Mouskateers on

Buddy's FaceBook Page,

and see MikiCato when he posts each Thursday

on the House Panthers Blog.

Wherever, y'all come see us when you can! 

As always, I feel loved. 

Later .....
