  1. My brother Mole learns to operate a forklift at a logging mill. The O'Brien Police gave him the green light, he claims. http://bit.ly/2cWaKX
  2. Have you ever seen a wolf poo.. okay, I can say it, (deep breath)..a wolf pooping in public? Wolves these days, tsk tsk. http://bit.ly/JG5Vj
  3. Not quite Apollo 11. (July 16th is coming up!) Just another Douglas A-4E Skyhawk and Aero Spacelines 377MG Mini Guppy http://bit.ly/a8JdJ
  4. Bound For Glory. A kitty (moi, KingLaksa) aboard a freight train (seriously!) sans guitar. Mole following close behind. http://bit.ly/19p8Td
  5. Melt alert! A MOTORBOAT splashed by. A seagull flew by. I'd say it's a LITTLE unnatural for cats to be chilling on Bainbridge car ferry.
  6. Too lazy to use Motion X GPS. For KingLaksa coordinates, google Cross Country Kitties. Be sure to leave comments, guys. Codeword Matodai...
  7. Someday I'll make my Cross Country Kitty music video on YouTube and you won't yell at me for shedding http://bit.ly/150rWj you will anyway:(
  8. I'm conducting counter-ratatouille operations. Mom may have nearly fainted in Istanbul (imam bayildi!) but I'm definitely a karniyarik boy..
  9. Pet Airways pawssengers? Indignity! No way I'm boarding the airplane cooped up with these idiots. Can I be the pawilot? http://bit.ly/YkT7Y

  11. Mommy says, given enough time and patience, I can become a purring lapcat. She may be right! In the meantime, here's Maker Faire CatClawBot!
  12. Mr. insecure rain cloud sculpts nasty babies like me, quite a handful, but crocs & sharks don't faze Mr. stork, unruffled like Mole wink wink

  17. You named me Laksa because it sounded like Laika? Excuse me, I'm not a girl, I don't bark... All right, yes I was a stray. YES I'M STRESSED.
  18. Watching "Tremors" on Encore Mystery channel. I could kill those giant graboid worm creatures in, like, 10 seconds. Stop rolling your eyes!
  19. MoleTheStupid, I mean @MoleTheWise, I repeat. *Sigh*. Salamanders are not insects. Dolphins are not fish. And you are a cat, not a cougar!
  20. @MoletheWise is denigrating the Cross Country Kitties blog. Mom has nothing to do with it. My brother has brought me nothing but trouble.
  21. Back into the bathroom sink to sulk. They were just eggs, okay? Sheesh, they were lousy EMPTY shells, okay? I'll MAKE YOU new Prague eggs...
  22. Driving around, saw a street cat. Our eyes met. It opened a burger box, and bit into the bun. There was no meat left in it. It looked away.

  38. Mole is meditating now. Is that yoga? He says it's better than sitting around doing nothing. http://tinyurl.com/8jzlvf
  39. New year's resolutions. 1) Humans shall not witness clumsy head-bonking during abortive fly-catching missions. 2) Guppy is not a water fly.
  40. My pet peeve? Lapdogs! Yours, too? Yes, yes... go ahead and ban lapdogs in cars. Have you heard of any anti-lapcat bills? I rest my case.
  41. Dreaming of Pablo Picasso's Figures on a Beach. I think I need another figure to complete the picture. http://tinyurl.com/74spp7
  42. Left me shivering in the car for THREE hours and came back smiling? If it's called The Curious Case of Benjamin Kitten, I might understand.
  43. 12 days of Christmas. Please skip drummers, pipers, lords, ladies, maids and golden rings... the rest, yum.
  44. Divots on Molé? What divots. I don't see any divots. Mole, did you pull out your own hair? This stuff on my paw? What stuff? Oh, it's, um...
