June closes - graduations - proms - and Pasqua turns 9 (months)!

Hello Dear Readers,
We are surprised at how quickly time passes. Here it is June 23rd already. Our last full week of the month of June. From our window we see lots of prom and graduation festivities. School is out for all the neighborhood kids, and the start of summer is here!

Our cousin, Emma, graduated high school this week with all of her friends and classmates. We are so happy for her as she ends one chapter, and embarks on her next educational journey at the end of the summer. Education is our most powerful tool we can use to change the world! Congratulations to all of the graduates!

Also this week, we celebrated Pasqua as he turned 9 months old on the 17th.

He likes the boxes his gifts come in more than the gifts. I know a lot of you are thinking "typical kitty"! 😼

I share two photos of me since I shared two photos of my lil brother. I am a very blessed kitty, with a mamma who loves me unconditionally. Blessed to be able to live in a warm, safe, love-filled home, to have as many treats as I would like, to always have a bowl full of crunchy cereal, and another filled with fresh water. Yum! I guess I can add to my list of blessings the little Pasqua kitty, too. 😼


We had a good week. Filled with naps, snacks. playing, and snuggling mamma. We hope you all had a good week, too, and that your summer is off to a purrfect start.

As you enter the summer months, remember to list your blessings - we believe if you focus on them you will be blessed with even more!

Purr & Paw,
-Stivali.

Happy Father's Day

Without our dads, we wouldn't be here.
We don't know who our dads are and neither of us really remember our momcat either.
We were both stranded, runts of litters it is called, and we are grateful we were found, and then brought to our human mamma to live in a safe forever home.
Can we tell her happy father's day - when she is both mother and father to us?
I think so. She deserves the blessings and our gratitude.

Our human mamma has a very special dad we call Nonno. He comes and visits us all of the time and most times, I hide, some times I hiss - he is very funny because he will hiss back. He just wants love, but I don't like to give it freely. I let Pasqua do that. Nonno will hang out with Pasqua, pet him and love on him... while I hide. He is a good grandfather to us. We are very blessed.

To all the readers out there who are dads - we wish you a very Happy Father's Day. ❤

Pasqua has plenty of silly positions.
Have a wonderful week, Everyone!

Cuteness Overload - Paws Please and Take it In. . .

Thank you, Readers, for your support and for your votes for our sweet Pasqua in the two contests he was placed in. The results of the Catster's Purrrific Contest are in. Check out all the winners here.

We are happy for all of the winners but sad our lil boy did not make the final cut. 🙀

He's still pretty cute don't you think?:
I mean, it is okay if you think I am cuter, but I did not place in any contests at all. What? 🙀 I know. Incredulous! 
This was a very busy week for us here. Lots of napping, eating, playing, and telling Mamma we love her. What? You don't believe me? Check me out here: Chatting with Mamma
See? I tell her I love her.

"Chip's" chirp is still the cutest thing ever but we have been unable to capture it perfectly yet to share it with all of you. We appreciate you staying tuned! 😻

Enjoy the rest of your week and we hope it's filled with delicious cat nip or the like.

Purr & Paw.

Do you know Larry the Cat?

Apparently there is a famous cat named Larry in London. He is known as Number10cat, as he lives on 10 Downing Street and is employed by the Cabinet Office. I am totally serious! 😼
He is more famous than our sweet Stray Cat and mamma's soon-to-be-famous picture book creation, SuperCat Kismet © (just wait! You'll love him!).

Before I digress on what mamma is working on, let me share with you Larry's twitter account if you want to follow him: https://twitter.com/Number10cat

Mamma is on there, too, if you did not know: https://twitter.com/suntawrites

Anyhow, Larry the Cat is pictured during President Trump's UK visit (thank you TIME Magazine for the photos):

Talk about the cutest photo bomber ever!

We were very impressed. ❤

I can't post this blog without including some cute photos of us getting along well. Mamma still is trying to video us doing all the cute things we do, but has had very little success. So, since I cannot share a video with you this week, I will share these - they are all too adorable to pick just one:



If any of you artists / illustrators out there are looking for some freelance work, my ma would like to hire someone to help her with her SuperCat © vision and perfecting him to a whimsical and endearing cat. Please leave a comment or privately message her on Instagram or Facebook if you are interested.

Thank you, and have a terrific week.

Purr & Paw,
-Stivali.
