I’m pretty happy but Zoey the Cool Cat is not excited. She did, however, approve this post:

Me: “Zoey the Cool Cat, will you approve this post?”

ZCC: “Sure,” she says as she continues to gaze out the window with her tail swishing back and forth at 100 mph.

Me: “ZCC, I need your approval.”

ZCC: “Just publish it and leave me alone! I’m busy stalking birds on the other side of this darn glass.”

I'm Zoey the Cool Cat, and I approve this post

  1. I love the conversation with the cat. lol

  2. Zoey’s tale tells its own story! Violets flowers look lovely

  3. Sorry TAIL not tale!

  4. There was a time, a brief time about a hundred years ago, when I had great success with African Violets. That time passed, unfortunately, and now I have little opportunity to enjoy their beauty, so I thank you for giving me that chance. As to Zooey, I positively love her and her opinions, being as much cat as they are and so similar to what I get from my Twiggy and Lily here at home.

  5. pretty flower and cute conversation…lol :)

  6. Sounds like a cats tale to me but if Zoey ever needs a new Tail I have just the place for you to take her, see link below…

  7. i thought you might like this blog http://beingjulz.com/ she’s an african violet lady.

  8. I think Zoey’s tail swishing means she’s annoyed, but then, I guess you already know that. :)

    • She’s annoyed with the glass because it prevents her from getting to the mourning doves, hummingbirds, house finches……… Those big, fat mourning doves really drive her crazy.

      • She’s 100% indoors?

        • She was 100% when I got her four years ago. However, I like to go out to my back patio and sit, read, garden, watch the sun go down………… She would sit at the screen door and howl, so for the last year or so I’ve been letting her on the patio but training her to stay only in certain areas, like on chairs or the bench. I don’t want her digging around in the garden, chasing falling pine needles or flying bugs and birds, and all the things that cats like to do. She is becoming accustomed to simply lying on a seat cushion and enjoying the warm sunshine. So I guess she’s 97.2891847284482101% indoor now.

  9. Cool, your flowers, your cat, ya’lls conversation, and you! (the ya’lls is to allow a Texas savoring, remembering, or rejoicing cause you are no longer here!)

  10. LOL George and Stevie have the same attitude toward me, no respect :P HAHA! Give her a hug for me :D

  11. OOOOooooo…very cool blossoms! Great job to you and your little violet plant. Love the pic of Zoe being so pointedly disinterested….a little jealous of the new beauty in town perhaps? ;)

  12. oops! that’s Z-O-E-Y. I know that….I hope she will approve my spelling correction.
