Moxie Belle
Location: Atlanta, Georgia, USA
Here is Belle at nine weeks. She is such a diva, I had to add Moxie to her name. I did this after I saw her smack my 14 pound maine coon. She only weighs two pounds. She looks very sweet in this picture, and she is that, but she also always wants to get her own way.
What a stunner!

Oh, I am curiuos as a cat. Forgive my audacity. Is there a TDK cookbook? How does one get this?
val
she looks like my old cat that died named coco
What an adorable sweet faced kitten! She’s precious.
I was so glad Bo found a forever home that I looked up another sweet kitty who has been through the ringer and desperately needs a good home. If I were closer or traveled up there I would take him in myself because his story touched me and I think of him often
Unfortunately for me he lives in Ky. I was wondering if anyone else here who lives closer to him could check him out and maybe give him a forever home.
His name is Sugar. http://www.catster.com/cats/501531
Please check him out and spread the word WONDERFUL PEOPLE.
Sugar is beautiful. What a rough life for such a loving kitty. I hope someone in the TDK family can rescue this baby.
Made me cry to look at him and read his story. I can’t understand cruelity to animals I wish I could give them all a home. I hope he finds a good home he would love someone in a really special way
I saw him before. What a dollbaby! We’ve taken in any number of special needs kitties, especially ones with eye concerns. Once you start the routine it becomes a daily habit that you don’t even think about. I hope sugar finds someone to give him lots of sugar!
Dibs on the fuzzbutt!
*scoops up and put in jacket*
Hey Instinct, Share. This is one absolutely adorable kitten.
Belle, c’est belle! What a gorgeous kitty.
She is such a cutie! Love the calico fuzz! ^..^
Oh that’s the calico personality to a T!!
Moxie works. Girl Power!
Hey Sharon! Thanks for making me Auntie to Bo! Looking forward to hearing all about him. I am told he is a total love bug! I’m so happy for both of you!
This cutie has tortitude
Aunties have to buy presents and keep gum in their purse.
We’re told that if you stop petting him he will put his paw on you telling you not to stop.
I can do that!
Email me with your addy I would love to send him a pressie!
evangeline.love at yahoo dot com
mombot 46 at aol dot com for mommy and Tasktraining at spinfinder dot com for daddy Paul
such a good auntie!
But being his auntie means you ARE the present!
What a sweet looking Southern Belle!
We have Moxie Fest up here (well, in Maine) every year to celebrate the yummy (it’s an aquired taste, it has quite a bite at the end) beverage called Moxie. I’m pretty sure it’s regional.
And this little girl could lead the Moxie Parade!
We saw a special on that! On the food network, I think. Cool!
Hi Jennifer! An acquired taste is needed for drinking Moxie! I never cared for it so much as a kid growing up in Maine but my dad use to love it! As I got older and had lived away from home for a while once I got back to living in Maine I started drinking it more! Now that I live in Canada I can’t find it up here of course so when I go down to Maine on personal business I always buy some and bring it home with me!! My sister and I both enjoy it as a matter of fact and when she lived in Virginia up until a few months ago she also bought a small supply to take back with her too!!! I don’t believe I have ever found it past Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont myself but it might also be available in Massachusetts!! Now that my dad is gone I enjoy a glass for him frequently! Have a good weekend and Happy Easter!
**OK, everyone can talk about “American Idol” right here**
Let the griping begin…
You know what Instinct? This is a perfect example of voting gone wrong. I can think of a few other examples but I don’t want to start a war between our countries
I don’t even watch it
I just saw a bit of it yesterday and I knew that today the lines would burning with “why is so-and-so still there”
Good riddance, Gina. I couldn’t get past the screeching previously and the tongue thing. She had absoluely no concept of the depth of emotion in the song “Smile.” I won’t miss her.
I’m beginning to understand Sanjaya, which scares me. No, he can’t carry a tune in a bucket, but neither can I, so I can’t condemn him for that. He is, however, a showman. Watching him Tues. night, I realized that he knows his continued presence there is an anomaly, and now, he’s just out to have fun for as long as it lasts. That’s what the dance with Paula was all about. I think he just wants to be able to say, when it’s all over, that he made the most of it and has no regrets.
Isn’t that what life is all about?
Your concept of life is very astute (sp).
Sanjaya is sweet in a very anoying way he is like a cute little puppy that just won’t go away.
sanjaya is the weidest guy ever and hes from my state! what a mohack
I agree Gina wrecked “Smilel” I was wincing throughout her performance. Having said that I still Sanjaya has no business being there. Hello?? You can’t condemn him for not being able to carry a tune? Last time I checked it is a singing competition. If I want to learn life lessons I will watch Oprah.
True, I have the good sense not to enter a singing competition, but who was responsible for sending Sanjaya to Hollywood? Randy, Paula, AND Simon! They have no one to blame but themselves.
OK, you are right about that. I have no idea why the judges accepted him
I can’t believe I’m commenting on this show…Sanjaya is every wannabe who ever tuned in — that’s his appeal. His cast iron self-esteem is what makes him attractive. The audience members who swoon for him see themselves in him. They’re not listening to his voice so much as watching him strut. Plus, there’s the “kill the system” vote being actively organized online.
In the end, I won’t be at all surprised to learn that Simon Cowell (who won’t “leave” the show because — hello? — he literally owns it) was in on the Sanjaya schitck from before we ever heard of the kid. This has been the best thing that ever happened to their ratings, and it’s still a month until sweeps start. Even Keith Olbermann, who claims to be mystified by this phenomenon, has given an almost daily block of time to “wondering” why the show has gone so “wrong”. Simon Cowell is laughing all the way to the bank.
And we can be sure that Sanjaya WILL have a successful career, bolstered both by better sound production than he gets on that stage (think of all the marginal singers already enjoying multi-million dollar contracts on that basis) and by the American conflation of celebrity with talent. He’s a storyline, not a person, and he’ll long be famous for being famous.
I’m just glad I’ve never had to watch more than the few seconds of the show that Olbermann inflicts on us while we’re waiting for a special comment.
Now, back to that adorable kitten (in another comment
– she deserves her own).
You watch Olbermann too? Everything he says about American Idol is exactly how I feel about it.
I don’t really care that Sanjaya is still there–it DOES bother me, though, that better singers are being sent home just so he can stay. The sparks (no pun intended, Jordin!) will really fly if he remains and Melinda, LaKisha, or Jordin go home instead.
Of course I watch Olbermann — he has the fastest rising ratings in cable news for a reason! I just wish he did Friday Cat Blogging.
Meanwhile, O’Reilly’s still so clueless he can’t even find the door. (Let’s see who gets that reference…)
I watch the show once in a while when my husband must watch it and I have to say I think the lady name Lakisha has the best voice of them all. She is the lady with several kids if I am correct and is the only African American on the show now?
His Colbert Report visit, when he tried to leave??
YUP
I’m not bugged by Sanjaya much at all. He at least has personality and a gimmick with the hair. I am sick that Haley is still on when she is an even worse singer. She is just there cause of the legs!
There are three African American girls left on the show. They’re all very good, too.
why are we talking a bout amiacan idol? this is the daily kitten!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Because we can Diane. You don’t have to read the post if you don’t want to
dianes my moms name im Elisabeth and im 11 how old r u and im homeschooled its 8.00 in wa rite now and this is the daily kitten
I never watch but I heard Bon Jovi will be coaching and I am so there.
Let me know when they have Joan Jett on and then I MIGHT be interested. Otherwise I’ll stick with Dirty Jobs and Battlestar Galactica
Joan Rocks!!!! Saw her open for Robert Plant and she had the audience in the palm of her hand. I’d follow her anywhere!
Love her cover of “Bad Reputation” that is the new theme for “American Chopper.” I live to see that shot of Mikey with the Imperial German helmet, riding the Vespa!
It’s on Youtube! Love Mikey. I’ll put him in my backpack to take home.
My department head got mad when I put a homemade “Mikey for President” flyer on top of the picture of George Strait that inhabited our hallway until the Houston Rodeo was over!
BTW, I still have that flyer in my classroom. Mikey rocks!
Mikey does rock, but I am still trying to figure out what he DOES at OCC (besides making the ‘wheel of blame’ and models of the space shuttle)
i hate amiacan copper its the dummest show ever and they call it the learning canle
Then don’t watch it Diane, simple as that isn’t it
agian my named elisabeth and im 11 and my mom dose’n let me whach the show so stop picking on me
Bon Jovi? Coaching what? Not vocals….the guy sounds like a drowning pig when he sings. And yes, I’ve heard what a drowning pig sounds like.
So curiousity has gotten the better of me… how in the world did you hear a drowning pig? Please do tell haha!
My parents used to send me to ‘the country’ during the summer. My uncle had every animal you can imagine. One day, one of the pigs was drunk (they do that from time to time when the crap they eat starts to ferment - they get drunker than Cooter Brown), wandered down to the swimming hole, fell in a drowned. He hollered like the devil was after him.
That’s weird. I grew up on a farm in Alabama - I never once saw a drunken pig hahaha! Sorry that the poor thing had to drown though.
I was bummed too. He was no longer fit to make pork chops out of when that happened.
HM where are you originally from? I haven’t heard anyone outside of central Alabama say “Drunker than Cooter Brown” Even in Kentucky they look at me funny when I say that! I always KNEW I liked you!
I was born in England.
Raised in Montana, Alaska, Colorado, Washington State, Pennsylvania, Louisiana, North Cackalacky, Texas and Florida.
I moved to California (from Texas) when I was about 25 and came BACK to Texas when I was 34, and have been here every since.
There’s also some time in there when I lived in Minneapolis.
*singing*
I’ve been everywhere man
I’ve been everywhere…
The man in black…
No… Hank Snow
We heard “drunker than Cooter Brown in SC”….and I always wondered who he was…..
but I am real impressed that someone knew Hank Snow!
I live outside of Nashville TN and listen to WSM 650 AM everyday!
Yes Sharon, Bon Jovi will be on American Idol, May 2nd.
They ROCK!
I agree, Ladies! I’m a big Bon Jovi fan, too. (Sorry Huddy’s Mama, have to take the other road on this one… but you’re still the greatest! Go play with the backpack kitties during that episode!) I haven’t followed the show, but might tune in. I heard I misssed Michael Buble singing the other night… Fooey!
I AGREE WITH HM BON JOVI NEEDS A BUCKET TO CARRY A TUNE
I remember standing in the front row when they were opening for SOMEbody, I have no idea who (this HAD to be 84 or 85) and we all stood there doing the finger down the throat gesture.
But there is ONE band who has managed to beat all the odds and actually be WORSE than Bon Jovi…..
Skid Row
so true.
Skid Row might have been hyped but Sebastian Back really can sing. And he is still a cutie! I love Gilmore Girls and he just adds the bling…
Bach…bad keyboard!
Actually, my cat Sebastian is named for him.
You ARE the lady!
It is no longer a realistic competition. Howard Stern (among others) has created publicity by spear-heading a movement that encourages people to vote for American Idol’s WORST singer instead of their favorite — thus screwing things up for the most talented. I’m sure Sanj. has a group of pre-adolescent groupies as well who will vote numerous times. All of them serve to negate the votes of most of us who vote for who we believe has the most talent.
that is, if I voted….I just watch and then bitch about it later on…:-)
Ah, but it is a realistic competition as far as music goes. How many marginal singers had sucessfull careers simply because they looked good for the camera (Duran Duran anyone)
Also, how realistic is it to begin with. From the bits that I have seen at my In-Laws (they watch it) the show tells them “we want you to sing this kind of song for this episode”
Well, come on! How many of you would think that Gene Simmons would be the winner if he went on as an unknown?
It’s contrived, phoney and all about packaging. The winners seem to have to be the generic “I can sing anything” type which means really that they have no style of their own.
And like I said, I have only seen bits of this and seen it on the news (Like somehow it is real news) but that it what I got out of it
Of course you are right! I have never watched it before this year, but it has become a Tuesday night ritual for my sister and I. I do not know if the show was so contrived in its first year, but all I have to do is look at the sponsors to know that this is a “MONEY-MAKING” machine and nothing else. The individual “players” can start their own separate or off stage dramas, too, to add to the hype…. nothing is as it seems….!
As a music aficionado, I LOVE American Idol (plus the fact that I can do other things and just listen). Yes, the winner should be the ‘generic’ sing-anything-well singer. Think about it–a great voice is a great voice whether it be in a country song, rock, pop, etc. Kelly Clarkson and Carrie Underwood (esp.) are perfect examples of this. While one genre may be their speciality, American Idol gives all of the idols a chance to sing a genre that is comfortable to them. Unfortunately, Sanjaya hasn’t found any genre that he can sing (maybe he should research the Zimbabwean polka/ sign language/charade catagory!
)
ha-ha….that’s the same category I would do best in…or the tribe (South American?) that makes tongue clicking noises in their language….
I’d blow everyone else away if they just had a typing while chewing gum category. . . .
The “tongue clicking” tribe is in southern Africa. Guess you must have missed N!au in “The Gods Must be Crazy.” Great movie to watch after the 8th or 9th beer!
Do a double feature with that and “The Coca Cola Kid”
I’ve seen them both…probably after a drink or two or some other intoxicating substance…
I got hooked on two of the rock star competitions. When Tommy Lee was auditioning for his new band and they had all that excess of talent only to wind up selecting a nasty troll who sang through his nose?! Rigged-definitely!
Sorry all, I refuse to watch this. I am personally sick of contrived popular music. If there is enough money behind it, it will get radio play. Talented artists are forced into a marketable mold that some pencil pusher decided will appeal to the mainstream. This show represents everything that is wrong with the music industry. It’s more about drama and commercials than music. There are still real artists out there if you look hard enough. I consider myself quite lucky to have spent as many years in vocal training as I have and it gave me the opportunity to meet several real musicians. Unfortunately many have had to make the choice of either tying on the puppet stings or getting a conventional job in order to pay the bills.
Sorry, you didn’t even offer a penny for my thoughts, but I guess you got more than my two cents worth.
I so agree with you
I HAVE NEVER WATCHED IT AND HAVE NO PLANS TO DO SO
I agree too.
When people started complaining about this whole voting scandal regarding Sanjaya and saying “They’re turning American Idol into a laughingstock” my whole question was “Isn’t it already?”
