Noll Sends Best Wishes for the New Year

Noll's Christmas Recap ......

I saw old Saint Nick.

He was gone in a wink,

leaving toys in our stockings.

I thought: Think, Think, Think!

And in that very moment,

the jolly old elf

gave me the answer

I'd thought to myself.

(Really!  It's as if Santa can read your mind!!)

^^^^^^^^^

NOW STASH AWAY,

STASH AWAY,

(I swear that's what he ordered MOI to do!)

STASH AWAY ALL!

With my booty secure,

and catnip intact,

I can now settle down

for a long winter's nap!

=^..^=

Thanks, Santa!!!

 

Noll's "Night Before Christmas"

Twas the night before Christmas,

And all through the house,

Not a creature was stirring,

Not even a mouse.

(That's because we are such excellent mousers!!!!)

Ahem,

The stockings were hung

By the kibble with care,

In hopes that St. Nicholas,

Soon would be there.

(However, the probability of such a visit is

highly unlikely considering our recent naughty behavior!)

.....to be continued

Merry Christmas to all!

Noll Sends Happy Gotcha Day Greetings to Tiggy

Of course, I WAS gotted before my brother Tiggy (who proved a difficult kitten to catch).  You might say I paved the way for the phenomenon that was to become known as "The Babies."  Yes, to this day, even though we are senior felines, we are still collectively known as "The Babies" and collectively called - to breakfast or dinner or when we get out of hand- Babies!  With an emphasis on the ! mark ;)

Happy Gotcha Day to my Partner in Crime. 

Have some of my fresh nip.

(Just don't hog it all!!!!!)

Noll on the Common Place

"I would rather have a thousand little moments, a thousand little moments harboring some small delight, than one enormous moment to mark my life".....Noll


Behold! Some of life's little moments: fleeting, common place.  They exist all around us, waiting to be embraced.

A flying Tiggy! 

 Upward, he lauched like a spring. 

Ginger cat on invisible wings!!!

Sometimes,

the perfect pausing spot

to sneak a peak

is the one you pass by every day.

Whenever the afternoon sun

shines on me,

it is as if it shines on me

 for the very first time!

No matter the season,

invite visions of sugar plums

 into your dreams

each and every day :)

 

Noll's Gotcha Day Remembered!

Happy Remembrance!

Today is the day I was gotted.

Today is a day dedicated to chance:

Happy chance.

Today, I look out on the wild world

a world where I was once a traveler forlorn.

Forlorn no more!

My heart rejoices

in being found

by the one I call My Own.

And it rejoices in the friends I have found

in this blogging world;

where hearts are big and full of love.

Noll Performs "La danse"

Act I

The coy tail

quietly 

peeks out from the silky drapes.

Gently sweeping,

swaying, searching,

sighing:

"Must I forever dance alone?" 

Act II

"What happy chance!"

exclaims the tail.

"Come hither, sweetest-little-paw.

For I am loney and needs claim you

as my dancing partner."

Act III

"Alas, and tally ho!"

laments the tail,

"Like snow melting in the warming sun,

my sweetest-little-paw did run!

Vanished into thin air!"

"Alone again,"

Intoned the tail

"Or maybe not!!

For I FEEL a MOST curious stare."

Noll's Unexpected Thing

Twas the day after Thanksgiving,

 and what should appear

before my wondering eyes

and attentive ears?

A cascade of green leaves

shaped like hearts!

I sniffed & I nibbled.

My nose turned bright pink.

Fresh catnip is best

when it comes unexpected!

That's what I think!

=^..^=

Noll Wishes You a Happy Thanksgiving

To all our friends,

Near and far....

Happy Thanksgiving &

May God Bless You.

Noll Kind of Quotes Shakespeare...

Perchance to dream.

Perchance

to find that perfect shrub

upon which

to lavish my attention.

Ah!

Yes!

There's the rub.

Noll Rids the World of Danger Once Again!

A furry-striped snake

undulated under the plate.

I touched it once

to determine its ferocity!

I watched that cunning snake;

And knew

it would create havoc

if left uncontained!

So with precision,

I captured

a most dangerous prey!

-------

All danger is passed...

Enjoy your weekend.

=^..^=

Noll in the Command Chair

Oh what a rare photo!

Moi sitting on the quartermaster's computer chair....

See that striped blanket?

That was the blanket used by the original Simba

(We are talking over 30 years ago!)

Simba used to sit on it.

Now, My Own sits on it.

She calls it "continuity."

I calls it "scratchy!"

Noll's Thankful Thursday

I'm thankful for the little things

rustling in the lily leaves.

I'm thankful for the flutterflies

that light upon the nip.

I'm thankful for our VETERANS

who serve on land, and air and ship.

Noll Beholds the Power of Mancat!

"In the land of Mordor,

In the shadow of Mount Doom!"

(Oh wait....wrong story line...)

"In the Land of Mancat,

In the shadow of Mount Zoom!"

'Squeaker,
The White Lord,'
has but to reach out his paw
to make the lady cats swoon!!"

(PSSSST! NOT YOU Squeak! -
 The lady cats are supposed to swoon.)

"And into his mancatliness
The White Lord poured out his will
to dominate all others!

For felines are so easily seduced....
BY CATNIP!"
(WAIT, that's not right.....)

"For felines are so easily seduced
by power!!!

BEHOLD...

The Power of Mancat!!!

There is none who can contend with it

Noll's Trolls

This dreary morning,

much to my chagrin,

I founded my nip patch

had founded been 

by a trio of trolls

on their way to Halloween!

Pumpkin,

Witch,

Frankenstein,

nibbling on the catnip MINE!

Big glassy-eyed they were

with grins from ear to ear.

I bended down my little head

to hear what I might hear:

Said the green one to

his travelers two:

"Tis comfy here,

I likes the smell

the taste is mighty fine.

Let's rest a spell,

takes all we wants

amidst this herb divine."

Said Pumpkin to

his travelers two,

"What's yours is yours,

is MINE!"

To which Witch replied

with a wave of her broom,

"No room. No room.

NO ROOM!"

With their greed apparent,

and my nip at stake

I sprung into action

I launched MY debate!

I pounced on the lot

Giving each a good swat

Howling

"SORRY YOU'RE LEAVING SO SOON!"

(Happy Halloween 

from Noll 

who trolls for Trolls 

wherever he strolls.)

Noll's Random Acts of Color

In October,

the sky is

an abstract canvas

of color and cloud.

Among the white asters,

golden butterflies
dance a beguine.

And every tree

turns over

a new leaf.
