Kandinsky Sunday - I'm ok.

Since people read about my mortal moving away and leaving me behind I have been getting a lot of emails asking about how I feel about it. I got to say I am ok. I like being here. I have two other cats to fight, I mean play with, a miniature imitation of a dog to harass, a big forest to explore, all the food I could ever want and every morning the mortal's mother gives me treats. Yeah, they call me Mafafo and make fun of my weight but I know that deep inside they love me. And the mortal comes to visit very very often. I'm doing ok.

Kandinsky Sunday - Look who's back?

Yes, believe it or not that is Audrey on Luna's back. Turns out the dog of the house had kidnapped her and Luna saved her. Luna is used to having dogs on her back. Don't ask.

Emergency Kandinsky Sunday on Thursday

This is a disaster! My best friend is gone! Today I was looking for Audrey all over the house and I couldn't find her. I asked The Mortal's mother and she told me she had to throw her away!! And why? Because the sorry excuse for a dog that lives in this house decided to get sick on my poor Audrey. This is the last picture I have of her.

I remember when the Mortal brought Audrey home. When she took her out of the bag I got all scared but soon we got to be friends when I realized that she would let me bite her.

We would play games all the time like the time I choked her on the door knob

or when I tried to put my collar on her.

She always wanted to be around me even when I was tired of her.

She made the big trip to Maryland with me.

Audrey, you'll be missed.

Kandinsky Sunday - Poster Cat

The other day The Mortal came home with these stamps.
They are promoting the adoption of pets in animal shelters. I was a cat in an animal shelter when I allowed The Mortal to take me to her house and live with me. What better Poster Cat than myself for this campaign. I mean, with my beauty and all...

Kandinsky Sunday - Party?

There was a party at the house. It was no fun. People stomping on the floor, kids pulling my tail and a stripped jacket girl holding me hostage. I'm sure the Mortal will give you all the details soon.

Kandinsky Sunday - The OTHERS

Unfortunately, I'm not the only furry cute feline in this world. I'm not even the only one in this house. There is only one of them I get along with. His name is Luna. We play around and sit on the window sill together. But I think Luna is just friendly to anyone. He even lets the dog sniff his butt. That dog is very confused. But that is for another blog post. Luna is a pretty cool cat but he does have a strange habit. Every other morning The Mortal wakes up and can't find one of her slippers.
We all know where the slipper is.

I wouldn't mind if all the felines in this world were like Luna. But unfortunately, that is not the case. There are other felines of the bitchy kind. Case in point, Artemis.


She has the habit of getting into impossibly small boxes and eat tape and ribbons. That habit has gotten her into trouble in the past. Maybe all the tape and ribbons in her stomach is what makes her so unfriendly.

This weekend The Mortal is not here. She sent me a text (yes, I'm a techy cat, I have a cell phone) and she told me that she was spending the weekend with these two specimens.


This makes me very nervous.
What is this world coming to?

Kandinsky Sunday - Strreeechh...

Let's see how much more I can stretch on the bed so that The Mortal can't fit on the bed tonight.

Kandinsky Sunday - What's in a name?

People always ask me where did I get such a strange name. For all of you that are uncultured enough not to know who Kandinsky is, let me educate you. Wassily Kandinsky was a Russian painter in the late 1800's early 1900s. He was one of the first abstract painters. He painted this

At the time I decided to live with The Mortal, she was living in an artist community and thought I should have an artist name. Also the tip of my tail looks like I just dipped it in a bucket of paint.

There, I hope that is the end of the questions. I have more important things to do with my life.

Kandinsky Sunday - Flat

Maybe if I lay flat enough she will stop thinking that I am fat.

Kandinsky Sunday - Gimme!

Valentine's Day came and the mortal got a box of chocolates in the mail from some guy I have never met. I am starting to not like this guy already. First, the mortal spends all her time on the phone instead of petting me when I demand it. Second, she doesn't let me lay on the laptop like I always like to do (hmmm... it is so warm!) and she tells me that it is because he can't see her. Is he inside the laptop? Can you send mail from there? And third, she is not letting me have any of the chocolates. She says I'm too fat and I need to loose weight. Well, if we were not living in the North Pole at the moment, I could got out and run around chasing birds.

Just gimme some chocolates greedy woman!

Kandinsky Sunday - I'm just big-boned!

Yesterday I went to a horrible place. I was awaken from my beauty sleep at 7am to go to the vet. But it wasn't just any morning. It was 16° outside! This has to be animal cruelty! Tarina, after stuffing me into the carrier bag from hell, started spinning me around like it was funny. Then they took me outside in this bitter cold, threw me in the back of the car and took me away. When I got to the vet's office, there were all these strange creatures. They all look like gigantic versions of Chubacachakalacadingdong. The funny thing was that one of them was named Cisco, just like Mr. Meany.

After the vet looked me all over (and I mean all over) and did things I don't even want to mention, she took some notes and called the mortal to come and pick me up. After I got home, the mortal read the notes. The vet had the nerve of writing that I was overweight! She wasn't brave enough to say it to my face? I'm not overweight! I'm just big-boned, dammit! How many times I am going to have to say it? What part of big-boned don't you understand?

Now the mortal wants to put me on a diet. Oh, this is going to be war...

Kandinsky Sunday - I'm just more evolved

In the photo above you can see my eating routine. I lay down in front of the food bowl, pull some food on the floor with my paw and eat it. Now some people may think that that makes me lazy. Why don't I stand up to eat like all the other cats? Well, I am not like all the other cats. I'm more evolved than all the other felines. Think about it. Do you humans like to eat standing up? I don't think so. You sit down, right? Well, I am one step ahead of all you mortals. I lay down. How else do you think I have achieved this beautiful physique?

Kandinsky Sunday - I'm sick

Even though they do not let me be an outdoor cat here, I manage to get out quite a bit. Sometimes I get caught in the rain but it is a small price to pay because it is so much more fun out there. The other day I woke up with a very sexy voice. Everyone said it was a scary voice but I know better. Artemis was giving me that special look. After a while my thought started to hurt and the mortal took me to the vet. The vet said I had Laryngitis. I'm special. How many cats you know that had had Laryngitis? She poked me and touched me all over. I wasn't really scared especially with the dogs barking outside the door. I am a brave grown up cat and I didn't even meowed once. Not even when I was in the car with Aynex driving! Ok, maybe a little.

I'm getting my regular voice back. Time to escape again as soon as they open that door.

Kandinsky Sunday - Planet of the Cats

The other day we were watching the original Planet of the Apes.

Which got me thinking...

What if...


Oh, that is a planet I want to live in!

Kandinsky Sunday - Me and Audrey

Yep, I'm a big cat now but I still play with my Audrey.

Kandinsky Sunday Returns

Yes, Yes. I had to appease the readers that keep bombarding my inbox asking me about my weekly column. I took a break from it for awhile because I have too many other obligations in my cat life. I have to lay in every corner of the house to find out where is it more comfortable to take a nap. I have to tease the dog when he is in his crate and show him who is the boss. I have to hide close to the door for hours and wait until someone comes in or out so I can escape to the outside world.

But now that I have taken one of my duties of my to-do list, I can return to my very much anticipated weekly column, Kandinsky Sunday. What is that duty I crossed off, you ask? I ended the war against one of the felines in the household. Yes, I ended the war after finding out Luna is not that bad. We are friends now.



Now there is those other two pests... I mean pets that are so annoying.

Kandinsky Sunday - Part of the Family

I have been living in Maryland for almost 10 months now. By now I can consider myself part of the family. Yeah, I'm not proud of saying that I'm related to a dog. Especially one named Chubakachalakadingdong. But the rest of the family is ok. I have wrestling matches with Luna, Artemis leaves me alone as long as I leave her alone. Mr. Meany has his hands full with the dog and he has been leaving me alone too. Aynex opens the door for me and lets me out once in awhile when no one is looking.

They must all feel like I'm part of the family too because now I have a nickname which I don't appreciate. They call me Mafafo. In English that means Fatso. That is not very nice. But isn't that what family does? I tell them all the time, I'm not FAT, I'm PHAT!

Kandinsky Sunday - Getting Fuzzy

I'm not a comics reader but everyday I have to stop and read Get Fuzzy. Here's a cat I like. Click on the image to read.


My sentiments exactly.

Kandinsky Sunday - Let me sleep, woman!

This morning I am doing the usual. Sleeping.

When all of a sudden a big flash of light wakes me from my sleep.

Oh no! She is taking pictures again.

Could someone take that camera away from her?

I just want to sleep, woman!

Kandinsky Sunday - Rabies!

A few days I was reading the paper and came across this

And then I read the description

Even though me having rabies might explain some of my lastest blog entries, I swear it is not me!! I SWEAR!
