This was supposed to be MY blog, with my essays, reviews and commentaries…but needless to say, Kao has taken things over. Are the views and opinions expressed in this blog mine…or hers?
It is entirely a matter for you.

Kao’s Corner

Greetings, Humans

I’m Kao

Feed me.

Ok fine, I’ll introduce myself

My name is pronounced “cow,” but I am smaller and smarter. I am a female Maine Coon, and because of my natural beauty and superior intellect, I am the target of my human’s camera, all too often.

I appreciate that other humans find me cute, or adorable, but I prefer “regal.” What an insult when they call me silly…

I like people food (especially pizza), but I will accept even the most pathetic of offerings. Thankfully that guy I live with is generous with treats (I prefer Greenies, so if you visit, bring some).

Since I ended up with that guy, it’s been my job to keep him on point, in order that the #1 priority is dealt with…and that is ME.

I hope you enjoy your visit here, and do come back often for more top-shelf opinions from me, and whatever nonsense he wants to write about…

Now, donate here to Kao’s treat fund to keep her happy (please help keep her from unleashing those murder mittens on my woodwork!)

Surgery, Removals, Visions and Additions

I have had to keep a close watch on the human in recent days. His ramblings in this blog will give you a semblence of an idea of what I have had to put up with the past few days.

His health is of concern, and I’ve been standing by to ensure he gets his ass out of bed sometime along, and also to move about.

And where is my thanks for the offering I left in the living room floor?

Updates, Writings, Possibilities…

The human is once again in a form of recovery after whatever they allegedly did last weekend…thankfully a visit from the Pizza Guy was in order, or I would have left more than that mouse in the middle of the living room floor…carry on.

My watchings, reviews, and the next great work…

In which the human will again attempt to cram several subject ideas into one blog…he is not completely single-minded. I must work on him, regarding my treats more often.

“We were about two miles outside Palmyra, when the caffeine started to kick in…”

In which my human disappears and allow me quiet time in my domain…for once.

Legends, Dead Ones, and the Ones We Need to Kill

In which my human writes about various issues, his new book, and whatever he’s been doing with his phone recently…at least he’s not pointing it at ME all the time.

“The Legend of the Black Swan,” Setting Arisa Free, and Other Things…

In which my human discusses his new book, one which he has labored over for times beyond counting. Let’s just say years. Congratulations, human…now feed me.
