3-D CATS: ON HATS AND QUIRKS!

Each of the 3-D Cats has a special quirk (in addition to wearing hats, that is).

Here Dante is sporting a tweed plaid flatcap in tones of teal and orange.  These same tones are picked up in his bright plaid bowtie.  At the moment, though, he's not so interested in fashion as he is in the prospect of coaxing this bird to come for supPURR.


Even if he succeeds, the dinner conversation may be rather problematic.  You see Dante tends to get into squabbles with pigeons -- mostly over whether they're called pigeons or squabs.   In the end, though, it's all semantics as they are, actually, one and the same.

"I may be a pigeon but I ain't fallin' for anyfing dis character has ta say!" states the canny bird.

Dylan, too, is wearing a tweed flatcap in herringbone teal with a coordinating teal, black and white bowtie.  He's on the lookout for a pesky chipmunk who has been after his nuts.  Dylan has been hoarding acorns while labouring under the delusion that they are actually small containers filled with corn.

But then Dylan's always been kind of a corny guy and this just proves it!

I don't know about you, but I'm definitely on Chippie's side!

Go, Chippie, go! 

Domino is fascinating in her fuschia fascinator and flapper necklace with purple gems.  She's also wearing a deep purple bracelet and carrying a handbag with that same amethyst glow.

Domino is standing beside one of the last remaining flowers in the back garden.  She is comiserating with it about the impending cold weather.  This is her last hurrah before her favourite flower fades into oblivion.

At least Domino is helping her flowered friend to go out in a blaze of PURRple glory!

DYLAN PAWNDERS GREEN!

Dylan's passing time on the deck bench while contemplating "Fall".

 "Fall is wen leafs fall on the ground", says he profoundly.  "But dey changes colour before dey duz it."

"All I kin fink is dat it reely mus' NOT be easy bein' green!"

"We second, third, fourth and fifth, that one!"

WORDLESS WEDNESDAY WITH DOMINO: THE SPITFIRE!

3-D CATS IN HATS ON THANSKGIVING!

Today is Canadian Thanksgiving Day and the 3-Ds are celebrating by wearing special Thanksgiving hats.

 Dante is wearing a pilgrim turkey on his head with one leg dangling either side of his head.  He has coordinated this with a bowtie replete with fall colours.

Dante is actually trying to CATmouflage himself as a turkey, so he can follow that juicy fellow strutting several steps ahead without alarming him .  He just can't wait to "gobble" him up!

The turkey, however, has his own slant on Thanksgiving, which is especially fine for those who want to 'pig out' in true fashion!

Dylan is wearing a golden baseball cap decorated with a little comic turkey.  His bowtie, too, meshes with the autumn colours all around him.

Dylan was far away when he caught a faint scent of a heavenly aroma.  He followed his nose to find a turkey feast ready and waiting for him.  "I jus' loves street food!" he declares happily.

"Let's par-tay!"

Finally, Domino is celebrating by wearing her woollen pumpkin cap.  It keeps her ears nice and warm, but also make her think of the pumpkin pie that's waiting for her at home.

She likes things that are a little sweet and spicy -- just like her!  Her favourite part, though, is the whipped cream.  "I milks it fur all it's worf", says she.

"Yoo jus' can't beat a dessert dat hops rite to it, can yoo?"

WORDLESS WEDNESDAY: DYLAN'S COMPLETELY FALLEN FOR FALL!

DOMINO & DANTE: PUT UP OR SHUT UP!

When it comes to Domino and Dante, size really doesn't matter.  She is a mere 6.5 pounds and he a whopping 24!

Dante was just standing on the front patio when Domino returned from her walk-about after sprinting all the way home.

Still full of beans and feeling a little aggressive, Domino approaches Dante.  "Wot's up yoo big lunk?" asks she.

 "Nuffin much" replies Dante, at which point Domino inches closer towards him.

And then, out of nowhere, Domino begins to raise the paw of doom.  Dante's obviously feeling a little apprehensive about where there is going.

 And with reason, because the paw of doom is escalating into ...

 ...a full blown attack!!!

Although there was ultimately no connection with that mighty swipe and Dante's defensive reaction, Dante submits.  "I surrenders", says Dante as he bows his head to the victor.

 "I'm glad yoo noes yoor place", declares the vanquisher.  "Now I doan hasta beat yoo up!"

"Whew!" says Dante in relief.

The moral of the story is:  "Giving in isn't the same as giving up.  Sometimes you just have to know when to let go before things get even worse."

3-D CATS IN HATS DETECTIVES

Today the 3-Ds are 'literally' wearing the hats of famous fictional detectives.

Dante is the legendary Sherlock Holmes with his tweed cap, bowtie (with bowtie pattern) and wooden pipe. He's on watch for anything untoward and uses his pipe to create a smokescreen for his undercover explorations.  His senses are finely honed so there's not much he does not PURRceive.  

Especially with those high-powered binoculars of his!

Dylan is the world-renowned moustachioed detective Hercule PURRot.  He is sporting a jaunty black and tan checked fedora and the obligatory bowtie.  With his monocle he keeps a sharp eye out for all things nefarious, whether it be day ...

... or it be night!

And sweet little Domino is the diminutive 'Miss Marple' (Agatha Christie's famous snoopPURR) in her brown felt and feathered cloche hat and matching bow.  She's at your door and has brought her valise, so you better let her in -- especially if you want your mystery solved!

 Here's Miss Marple hard at work doing what she does best, i.e., snooping!

  Nothing is PURRivate when Miss Marple's around.
