Yep – “Mom’s Lap Monday” or MLM …. Why? Well because that’s where I intend to spend as much of my day as my Mom will let me. I am TRULY getting the most out of having my parents back from their trip – I’m playing “poor pitiful me” to the MAX…..and it’s working…..double bacon yesterday and Saturday for one thing but for another my Mom has been “available” to me for cuddles almost all weekend. WOO HOO!
When we weren’t cuddling, we were working on loading up photos for my Sam-O-Ween costume contest AND visiting the Cat Scouts site to keep up with what’s going on there. We’ve come to the conclusion that there are some badges that we will never earn……..like “Fishery” – the only chance I have of getting THAT one would be if Mom bought me a pet goldfish I could watch! Then there’s “Swimming” – I don’t DO water – period – even accidentally unless you could splashing in puddles and that does NOT count. Sigh. Oh well…..I can make my mark in other ways right?
Now, please remember that tomorrow is Tuesday Teaser (visible after 6AM Eastern Standard Time)……..AND, it’s a “GUEST TEASER” this week!! Not only that but I have yet ANOTHER Guest Teaser for next week. How fun is that? So stay tuned! Speaking of Teasers…..I thought it would be fun to run a few Teasers from the past by you…..just to remind you that Teasers are ANYWHERE and EVERYWHERE……Enjoy!
And that’s not ALL of them…………………..amazing isn’t it? We’ve been around the world together on Tuesdays haven’t we?! Did you remember where the photos were from? I bet you remembered SOME of them!!!!
Have a Great MLM (if you can get away with it!)
and BE PURRRRRPARED (like a Scout) for TEASER TUESDAY!

I have seen several kitty scouts who have earned badges just my looking at stuff on the computer – maybe you could get your human to pull up a butterfly shot on her computer and snap you looking at it??? As for water – I’m worried about THAT one. YUCK.
