Sweet little Mollie Little, so tiny yet so fierce.
Good golly, Miss Mollie!
Big scary kitten! Everybody RUN!
*running* Aaaa…run away run away…
is this a kitten or a porcupine???
she looks almost exactly like a cat we had when I was little (a *long* time ago, back when dirt was rocks and Moby Dick was a minnow). her name was “little bit”, btw, and she had a litter of kittens, of which we kept two–”little buddy” (who looked just like his mom) and “chester” (a tuxedo, who was it by a car as a kitten and had a pin in his leg that made him limp–hence the name).
What a pretty arched-back bottle-brush furrball! Can she come play outside with my cats?
Great description “bottle-brush” for her tail! That’s exactly what it looks like!
Man, that cat looks cool!

Sorry, did not realize my posting was old news. It got posted yesterday by someone after I logged off. G’day, TDK’ers.
this kind of news is so important it’s absolutely fine to post it more than once
Don’t apologize Laura in Chi. We’re all in different time zones here. I wasn’t aware of the updates until I read your comment. It’s 10:00a.m. in California here. Sometimes we’re the last to hear of these things. lol
I love how fierce kittens try to be! She’s a beauty with her perfect tabby markings and beautiful M. Anyone bringing croissants today? I’ve made Vanilla Latte’s
No, but here’s my crustless spinach quiche, fresh out of the garden! Instead of crusts, the quiche is nestled in a base of mozzarella cheese. Mmm-mmm! (Sorry folks, I left the recipe at home).
I made pancakes and bacon! It’s a regular potluck this morning
I’ve got strawberries fresh from the garden !!!
Wow! Latte, Quiche, strawberries, pancakes and bacon…what can I bring?? I know! Champagne and orange juice for MIMOSAS! and those neat disposable plastic glasses…
Mimosas—fantastic
I like champagne and V8 too. I call it a poinsettia.
OOOOOOOooooo…. I’ll have to try that !!! Sounds yummy
Around here a poinsettia is champagne and cranberry juice!
Hmm, that sounds good too.
Spicy V8?
Speaking of V8, I just read in Allure Magazine that you can pour V8 over your hair and leave it on for 15 minutes to enhance hair color that is red or reddish-brown (natural or colored hair).
Spicy V8 and Skky Vodka, throw in a celery stalk -> Instant Bloody Mary (good for camping trips or breakfast)
You guys are making my mouth water and I am not even hungry.
Please post it tomorr though. I have company coming next weekend and it sounds perfect!!!!!
Ginny go home, do not pass go, do not collect two hundred dollars and bring back that recipe - please post it tomorrow. Spinach is my favorite veggie and then asperagus which I bought both when I was shopping Tuesday. The asperagus fianally got under two dollars.
the farmer’s market in my town opens on Saturday. I’m so excited
I will definitely have to post my recipe for shrimp/asparagus/onion/Swiss cheese quiche!
Yes you do.
Oh please bring it soon, I love spinach and so does my son. His new wife would love a good recipe
Agreed. For such small things they try to seem so huge and fierce. What a beauty she is!
I’ve got the scones!
Mmmm-scones! Any orange-cranberry? Those are my favorite!
Who brought the clotted cream?
OOhhhhhhh!!! I love scones!! Thanks Jennifer! I missed lunch again today dag-nabit! Little did I know that I would get back to the office to find a buffet on TDK! A girl could get pudgy around here!
Love this little kit…they crack me up when they puff themselves up. I know that they intend for this to have the opposite effect on observers…but it always leaves me in stitches!
I bought almond filled and chocolate filled croissants from a wonderful french bakery in San Francisco yesterday which I picked up fresh on my way home from an interview. I am willing to share.
Did the croissants actually make it home? tee hee
I have the coffee and Baileys!!!
I brought fresh bagels to go with the coffee and Bailey’s! Yumm!!
By the way, this little beauty is almost as pretty as my Georgie Butt!
HM, where did you get Baileys? , haven’t had one since I left B’klyn,N.Y. upstate we have great bagles (dunkin donuts) but I don’t think they ever heard of baileys love them.“ and the kitty is cute to!
I have the mimosas and a blender for a Ramos Fizz, if anyone wants one.
STOP it you guys…I’m literally salivating here at work! LOL! I’m leaving in a minute to go to grandparent’s day at my granddaughters grade school and then going with my daughter to the OB for an ultrasound .. hope to see whether grandbaby #2 is girl or boy…either way, I’ll be thrilled… SEE YOU tomorrow! Love you guys…save me some of those mimosa’s in case I stop by later tonight!
I’ll bite–what’s a Ramos Fizz?
Never heard of it,either, but am way curious. And Ginny, I want that quiche recipe! Please?
Ramos Fizz is a blended gin drink.. Gin, orange juice, whole egg, ice, powdered sugar…all blended and served with nutmeg on top… Kind of like a gin milkshake… really yummy for brunch….
Another good brunch drink is a mojito…. rum, lime and mint…. over ice.
Ok - I want in on the virtual breakfast, everything sounds wonderful! Mimosas are my favorite. I’ll bring my version: strawberry champagne with a dash of orange/pineapple juice.
ooh it all sounds so good. I want everything!
Betinna, I think you are thinking of bialies, wonderful little onion rolls. I’m from Brooklyn origionally, and remember them well. We were talking about Bailey’s Irish Creme, a wonderful flavored liquor.
Amazingly they did, Dee.
OMG! Chocolate-filled croissants & Coffee & Baileys. I’m in Breakfast heaven! Yummmmmmmmmm
I have fresh baked bread - still warm, soft and crumbly inside, crusty outside
Oh - and butter 
And this is my priority today? Food, then cute kittens??? I blame this cold I’m trying to shake!
What a very goreous little fuzzy thing - they are so cue when they’re trying to be all tuff (just seemed more appropriate (mis)spelling than tough!)
Am-Smokey’s mum,
Hi ! I love fresh baked bread also and pie crust. When my mom used to make pie crusts, we would bake any of the leftover strips to eat on. We could hardly wait for them to get done. My dad loved them as much as we did!
We would save him some, just barely! lol
ooooh pie crust *starts drooling* Love that too! And somehow I always but always seem to end up with more pastry than the dish needs… odd that
There is an incredible restaurant in downtown Brenham, TX called (appropriately enough) “Must Be Heaven.” They sell fantastic soups and sandwiches, and offer some 2 dozen hand-dipped flavors of Blue Bell Ice Cream (whose home, BTW, is in Brenham), but their quiches and dessert pies are TO DIE FOR because of the crust they make in-house. It is the first and only pie crust I have ever met that would make a snack by itself–in fact, I always save it for last because it is SO light, SO flaky and SO delicious! Ooooh, right now I’m drooling like Linus does when he’s purring and getting scritched!
Don’t believe me? Here’s the web page:
http://www.mustbeheaven.com/brenham.htm
The photo of the guy on the phone is in another location, but all the rest of the pix are from Brenham. BTW, I have been to the Bryan locale, but it doesn’t hold a candle to Brenham!
Best trick I’ve found to making pastry light and flaky is to kep everything ice cold - so water in the fridge, butter/fat chopped up with the flour and chucked int he freezer for 10 minutes or so. Then make quickly! I usually rest it in the fridge too.
I’m not much of a cook but I want to bring something Finnish: Carelian pies with egg butter, milk and lots of coffee. And for dessert a lingon pie and a blue berry pie. Hope you like them.
I LOVE lingonberries! I’m sure they make a great pie!
I am soooooooooo hungry right now!!!!!
I’ll have a bailey’s and coffee please with a croissant. Have to run in a minute to retreive the daughter child to take her to the Dr. Have a great day!
Here you are! I love lingon pie, it’s not too sweet.
And this time: 0 calories.
*passes out coffee and Baileys to everyone*
Don’t drink too much guys. Some of us have to work.
A BIG Thanks to Karin & HM
I just got back from a VERY LONG meeting! is there any coffee and Bailey’s left? pleasssee!
**begging**
Here you are! Care for a Mimosa or two?
There is plenty of Bailey’s left. (I have a whole case of it, Georgie’s mama). *Shares with georgie’s mama*
My pleasure Susie. Chocolate croissants all flaky with lovely chocolate inside with a nice cup of coffee is heaven on earth. At least as long as the croissant lasts. Enjoy everyone.
Hey miu- What in the world is a ‘lingon’???????????
A lingonberry. It is a sour berry, a lot like cranberry. It goes well with meat dishes but is even better in sweet desserts and pies.
The IKEA store in Houston has a wonderful Swedish cafeteria. You can get lingonberry punch from the soda fountain there. YUM!
Lingonberry punch? Sounds good, I must taste that.
I’m looking for a recipe for canning Dilly Beans if anyone has one.
Google Dilly Beans Recipes…..think you will find what you are looking for…..Good Luck!!
Rik-Tik-Tikki-Tikki-Tchk! FUZZ!
No cobras in this garden!
Aww so cute, she looks like our late Tigger.
Tigger. As in T I double guh err? Hint - Winnie The Pooh’s friend.
Thats 1 cool cat!!! how little is she now i wonder??? prbably huge seeming to cowardly dogs
When I lived in GA, my next door neighbor had a cat that would stalk dogs! She would crouch in wait behind a tree next to the road and when an unsuspecting dog passed by, she would dart out and attack.
She was the terror of the neighborhood until the day she didn’t see the second dog. She pounced at the first only to find that the hunter had suddenly become the hunted. She darted up a tree, only to discover too late that the tree she had chosen had a “double trunk”–one that splits just off the ground. The left side of her went up one side and the right side of her went up the other! Just out of reach of the dogs, she found she could go no further up, she could not go down because of the dogs, and she could not move her whole body to either side without falling! Before we could stop ROFL and bail her out, the dogs lost interest and left, but psychokitty had already learned her lesson and never stalked dogs again.
If only we had had a videocam, we’d have been rich!
Hello everyone! It’s so nice to be back!!
My Kittyman now 16, in his much younger days, would chase dogs off my property! He was my barn cat and was very protective of the barn and walkway from my house to it. God help any dog that crossed that path! Saw him chase a boxer right off the property… where was the camera when I needed it?!?!?!
Hope everyone has a wonderful day!!
Reminds me of when our late cat Psycho Sammy used to keep ‘all creatures great and small’ from our house. I remember coming around the corner one day thinking that one dog was riding on the back of a German Shepherd—only to realize, as I got closer, that it was Sammy. That Psycho cat even sat in the driveway of our next-door neighbors house and wouldn’t let their kitten in the garage. Let’s just say that Sammy LITERALLLY scared the poop out of that poor kitty (I found this out when I picked her up)!
Looks like we’re not so original after all. Psycho kitty……
Too bad we humans couldn’t learn our lesson the first time.
My remark was for Ginny’s story.
Hilarious!
I haven’t had a decent camera in ages and sometimes it really annoys me. So many great moments which could have been easily captured are now faded memories.
Thanks for the visual, Ginny. I am laughing at the poor kitty’s predictament. Did she earn a nice treat for her suffering?
Something sure seems to have caught her eye!!
Very, very cute!!
See me? I’m ferocious! (NOT)
eek-a mouse
Oh what a little sweety……………Did you say you wanted to come visit me for a while???……………I thought you did. Into my pack you go. Sorry HD……………I will bring her back later after I fill her with treats and nippies!!!
But…but…but….she’s got a fiber optic tail and everything.
You’re not playing nice debsterwiz!!!!
What a little beauty she is even all puffy!!!
Aack! Fiber optic tail - that is so cute!
Ok, molly has had her fill of treats and nippies. She weighs a full pound more now (oh my goodness, what a full belly you have now) When she finishes her nap, I will bring her back, promise.
Careful, Deb–HM is considered armed and extremely dangerous when provoked!
I know but I don’t think she will hurt me and upset little molly.
I wouldn’t, and you have Mollie to thank for that
Yes, thank you Molly for visiting with me and protecting me from the big bad Huddy’s Mom. She is ready to come back now. Who wants to have her next?
Meeee. *lifts head up from floor, where passed out from Baileys and mimosas*
Take two asprin and call HM in the morning!!!
hehehehehehehe… puffed up so big! We’re all impressed! No, really, we’re giggling because we’re impressed!
Oooooh! fierce tiger in the brush!!!
What a great photo…
I am kitten hear me roar! Love it when they arch up and bounce to show them who is boss.
Sylvester is in the window making “acking” noises at a dove who is on the power lines outside my apartment. I love that noise. It always makes me smile.
In my house we call that ‘barking’. It DOES bring a smile to my face. *Hugs and scratches to Big Syl*
My baby giggles *ick ick ick LICK*
They are in such a serious trance when they “bark”!! Love it when they do that!!
We call that “breeping” in my house. Does anyone know the hicka-hicka? It’s the sound kitty makes just before upchucking. With 2 old fuzzies, the hicka-hicka happens often. Sometimes, it seems like they take turns…
Yesterday, I had the wonderful experience of hearing the following sequence of events:
hicka-hicka…hicka-hicka….SPLORK!
Badcat decided that the best place from which to let his hairball-full-o-cat-chow fly was from the TV cabinet, about 4 feet up. The SPLORK was…splorky, to say the very, very least. :::shudder:::
My Trixie “acks” when she sees birds from the deck-it is just too cute! We have a lot of trees and therefore a lot of birds.
Ferocious Mollie Little
Perched on the garden log
Ready to attack
The unlucky passing dog
Spectacular silver shading
Glinting in the sun
The sparkle in her feisty eyes
Says this girl is ready for fun
The world outside can be scary
And make one extend their claws
But in the garden it is lovely
A nice place to take a pause
Great poem, Meezer Mama.
I love that puffed out tail. Don’t mess with this kitty!
Great poem Meezer Mama!! Future Halloween Kitty in training! What absolute cuteness!!
Beautiful poem, just like all the others I have enjoyed.
thank you.
What a lovely poem for my Mollie,I can`t call her little anymore,she is a big girl,very sweet but she has the same temper as she had as a kitten.That pose she displayed in the picture,she is more than happy to show cats and dogs,who are passing our house. Thank`s for the poem,we like it very much, and as you wrote in the poem, the garden is a lovely place now when spring is here,after a cold Swedish winter. Lots of Meows from us!
Can anyone direct me to a site or brand of pet food that makes its products from ingredients within the US? I saw one once when clicking on links, but gawd only knows if I could ever find it again. The ad said something specific about US ingredients only. Thx
Laura–here is one…
