Don't Stop MEOW - Waffles Channels His Inner Freddie Mercury to Celebrate the Oscars

WAFFLES:  ♫♩ Don't stop ME-OWWWW! I'm havin' a good time! ♫♩

KATIE:  Waffles, what on EARTH are you doing? And more importantly, what on earth are you WEARING???

WAFFLES:  I'm havin' a good time, Boss! Tonight's the Oscar Meyer Awards and I'm rooting for Freddie! And bologna.

KATIE:  It's not the Oscar MEYER awards, Waffles. It's the Oscars. 

WAFFLES:  That's what I said, Boss. So where's the bologna?

KATIE:  There's no bologna.

WAFFLES:  Whaddaya mean, Boss? Oscar with no bologna is just– 

KATIE:  The Oscars.

Paws Crossed for Bohemian Rhapsody

Glogirly has been more than a little obsessed with the Freddie Mercury and Queen biopic ever since it landed in theaters last November. It's rare for a movie to sneak it's way into her heart and mind and stay there so permanently. She's been a long time fan of some of Queen's greatest hits but had no idea the portrayal of the band and their incredible frontman would stay with her like this. 

Every morning when Glogirly wakes up, she has a song playing in her head. She's woken up like this for as long as she can remember. Since she saw the movie, every morning she now hears Queen. The song that plays in her head more than any other is Somebody To Love. In case you're curious, she never gets tired of it.

She knew from the opening scene, where the camera pans past Freddie Mercury's cats eating from their sterling silver bowls, that she was in for something special. And that Freddie was something special too. Our good friend and fellow Bohemian Rhapsody fangirl, Ingrid King, wrote a FASCINATING article (here) about the movie cats and their trainer. 

Bohemain Rhapsody and Rami Malek, who so magnificently portrayed Freddie, have already scooped up an armful of awards. As we're writing this blog post, the Oscars are just a few hours away and they're up for five more awards. 

Oscars and Golden Globes usually don't mean much to us. We like to watch what we like to watch. But that doesn't mean we don't have a bunch of fingers and paws crossed tonight for Bohemian Rhapsody. 

Valentines Shocker - The Waffles & Katie KISS

Golden, CO
February 13, 2019

Shock waves out of the sleepy mountain town of Golden, Colorado today. Two supposed rival cats caught on camera in what can only be described as a most embarrassing and compromising position. According to an anonymous source, the lip-locking felines have been identified as Waffles and Katie of the GLOGIRLY cat blog.

The photographer behind the salacious shot is rumored to have sold exclusive rights to the photo for a figure in excess of 25 cents. 

Katie, the tuxedo cat pictured above, originally argued the "misleading and horrifying snapshot" was a result of someone's mad Photoshop skills, however the authenticity of the image has been confirmed and the photograph deemed untouched. 

Katie now claims the viral photo is "nothing more than a bad camera angle." 

A VERY bad angle indeed.

Waffles, (pictured above in a press photo provided by his agent), has admitted he is the orange tabby shown only with his back to the camera in the controversial shot. He's wasted no time sharing the KISS photo on social media. Meanwhile, women across the globe and clowders of female cats are left shocked and heartbroken.

"NOOOO, say it isn't so, Waffles!" 

-Princess Floofenfluff, Lubbock, TX


"But I thought I was his girlfriend!" 

-Chris, Kansas City, MO


"YOU TWO-TIMING #%&*@!!" 

-Pancake, Savannah, GA


"But...but what was all that one in elebenty billion talk???"

-Tutu, Fargo, ND

The complicated and often contemptuous relationship between Waffles and Katie is no secret to fans of their blog. According to legal experts, a single picture like the one published on the Enquirer today, exposing the two cats in a blatant public display of affection, could not only permanently tarnish their reputations but take down the entire GLOGIRLY empire with a single swipe of the paw.

Happy Early Valentines Day!

The Paw Touch that Rocked the World

Two years ago this week, the paw touch that sent our world and our blog spinning hit the interwebs. It's as shocking today as it was then.

WAFFLES:  So Boss. We've been together now for about elebenty seven years.

KATIE:  Actually, it 2 years, 8 months, 21 days, 6 hours and 11 minutes.

WAFFLES:  That's what I said. Elebenty seven years.

KATIE:  Fine. Elebenty whatever. So just how long are you planning on keeping your paw there? Because for the record, mine was here first. And yours is encroaching.

WAFFLES:  Uh, but when a boy cat and a girl cat go out for elebenty seven years –

KATIE:  Go OUT???

WAFFLES:  Yeah, Boss. You know. Like going study and stuff.

KATIE:  You mean going 'steady'? We are NOT going steady, Waffles. 

WAFFLES:  Does that mean we're not going to the first base thing?

KATIE:  What, you mean like baseball?

About Today's SHOCKING Photos

You should have heard Glogirly squealing after she shot these photos this past weekend.

Katie and Waffles HOLDING HANDS??? 

Call CNN!
Call Entertainment Tonight!
Call Jackson Galaxy!

Waffles is fascinated with Katie. He SO wants to engage. After breakfast, Katie trotted over to one of her favorite hang out spots - her big soft pillow by the sliding glass doors. It's one of the few spots Waffles usually lets her be. Until today.

He walked up to her, sat down just at the edge of her pillow and started meowing. Long, extended meows. Slowly he reached out with his right paw towards her. He carefully set it down right on top of her paw and then laid it on the pillow next to hers.

Then came the stare down.

This was one of those moments Glogirly would pay just about any amount of money to be able to read their minds.

And in case you're wondering...

These are actual, untouched photographs. NO photoshop trickery was used. For real.

Final Residential Cat Debate: Katie v. Waffles

MODERATOR:  Welcome to the final 2016 Residential Cat Debate. The political pundits have been buzzing since the last cat debate with viewer polls indicating Katie overwhelmingly outperformed the furry orange showman. Her prowess and preparation clearly paid off. Despite Waffles' lack of experience and polish, he continues to charm crowds with his off the cuff meows, quips and improvisational song lyrics.

We're ready for a spirited discussion between two cats with strikingly different viewpoints and opinions. We kindly ask that you refrain from cheering, chortling or heckling. 

WAFFLES:  Who, me??

MODERATOR:  Except for right now as we welcome cats, Katie and Waffles.

WAFFLES:  Woot! Woooot! *unintelligible chortling* ...The crowd goes wild! Yesssss!

KATIE:  Seriously, Waffles. Cheering for yourself???

WAFFLES:  Wait! I'm not ready. I have to get my scratcher, um.. I mean my podium ready. Where's the snacks? Aren't there supposed to be snacks?

KATIE:  Waffles, get back to your podium. This one's mine.

WAFFLES:  Does your podium have snacks? Because mine doesn't. Aren't we supposed to have snacks?

KATIE:  Waffles, forget the snacks. The readers want to hear us discuss the issues. 

WAFFLES:  Hey, Mister Moderator Guy, I have an issue that needs to be discussed. My podium doesn't have snacks. 

WAFFLES:  Doesn't this thing work? Hellooo, can anyone hear me? Hey, where'd the moderator guy go? 

KATIE:  Something tells me he's not coming back. 

And...

...there you have it. The debate has ended before it even got started. Despite the lack of thoughtful discussion, tomorrow's polls will likely show that Katie won while Waffles tweets about the lack of snacks. 

Democat, Republicat, Independcat...

No matter which side of the litter box you lean towards, we bet you'll be glad when this election cycle is over.

WAFFLES:  Which side of the litter box do you lean towards, Boss?

KATIE:  MY side, Waffles.

Waffles & His Silly Love Songs #WafflesWednesday

When I need you,

I just close my eyes and I'm with you.

And all that I so want to give you,

it's only a drumstick away...

About Today's Photos

Today's photos are a flashback to our feline family vacation we took last year to the North Shore of Lake Superior in northern Minnesota.

Waffles and Katie were right at home in our rented townhouse by the lake. Lots of napping, sunpuddle bathing and of course... singing. That last photo of Waffles singing always cracks Glogirly up. With his upper lip pushed just a little bit up on top and his eyes scrunched closed, he reminds her of what a singer would look like at the most climatic part of their song. Or what Gloman looks like when he's playing the air guitar.

Waffles Tries Out His Pick Up Lines

WAFFLES:  Hey Boss, you come here often? 

KATIE:  Seriously? You're going to use that line on me?

WAFFLES:  Ok. How about this - can I get your digits so we can FaceTime? 

KATIE:  Waffles, you're already in my face ALL the time. The last thing I need to do is FaceTime you. And mitts off my digits.

WAFFLES:  Snapchat?

KATIE:  Waffles...

WAFFLES:  Man, picking up chicks is hard.

KATIE:  Waffles, you've got a lot to learn about girl cats.

WAFFLES: So what am I supposed to say? 

KATIE: Well, you should say nice things. Compliment her. Tell her you like her fur... 

WAFFLES:  Ok. I like your fur.

KATIE:  Waffles, you need to romance it. "I love your furs... how do you keep them so silky-soft?" 

WAFFLES:  Thanks, Boss. I lick them everyday. 

KATIE:  No Waffles, you're supposed to ask ME how I keep MY fur so soft. 

WAFFLES:  But I already know. You lick yours like elebenty billion times a day. That's why you cough up all those nasty hairballs that Glogirly steps in and–

KATIE: Waffles... if you want to impress the ladies, do NOT bring up hairballs. Ok, let's try this again. Just say, "Hello, my name is Waffles. What's your name?"

WAFFLES:  Got it. HELLO, MY NAME IS WAFFLES! 

KATIE:  Take it down a notch, Waffles. A little lower.

WAFFLES:  *low voice* Hello, my name is Waffles.''

About Today's Photos
Glogirly has taken pictures of Waffles at the kitchen counter before. She's taken pictures of Katie at the kitchen counter too. But getting BOTH Katie and Waffles at the kitchen counter together is a rarity.

It was about 4:45pm. Katie and Waffles were getting ready to get ready for dinner. Glogirly was emptying the dishwasher when she looked up and saw what you see in that first photo. She's learned to always keep her camera close so she grabbed it and started shooting. There was plenty of grumbling about the light too. Something about bright daylight from the windows behind and harsh light above from the kitchen pendants.

Katie and Waffles didn't care. They didn't even care that they were sitting just inches apart. All they cared about was that it was now 4:59pm and dinner was about to be late. 

The Ball in the Toy Goes Round and Round ♩♫

WAFFLES:  *looks both ways* I don't see the Boss, do you? 

WAFFLES:  I'm just going to give this ball a little whap. She'll never know.

KATIE:  Right behind you, Waffles.

WAFFLES:  I was just admiring your spinny-ball toy, Boss. 

KATIE:  Yeah, I think you were doing a little more than admiring, Waffles.

WAFFLES:  I didn't touch it, Boss. I swear.

KATIE:  Then why is there orange fur on the ball? 

WAFFLES:  I don't see any orange fur. 

KATIE:  Somedays all I see is orange.

About Today's Photos

Glogirly got on a cleaning and organization kick this past weekend. Long story short, she unearthed countless cat toys that have gone missing over the years, including a very special one. Katie's turbo ball scratcher, a.k.a the spinny-ball toy. You could say it's almost an antique, but don't tell Katie that. It was one of her very first toys from when she was a tiny kitten. 

She LOVED it. Even as a little kitten-tot she could get that ball speeding around the track in a blur.

When Glogirly discovered the long lost toy buried deep beneath the guest bed, she pulled it out and set it on the floor. Waffles of course was right on top of it, checking it out and teaching himself how to play. 

When Katie heard the sound of the ball something amazing happened. Something that literally has never happened before.

Katie came running and leaped into the action. She took command of the toy while Waffles just sat back all dazed and confused. What had just happened? Usually timid when it comes to toys, and certainly not a gamer who enjoys playing with her orange housemate, Katie engaged not only with the toy but with Waffles too. For a few minutes they were actually playing together. 

AND, we have photographic proof. 

Either we're nearing the apocalypse or we should all go out and buy lottery tickets. 

Theory of Invisibility #WafflesWednesday

WAFFLES:  I'm practicing my invisible super powers. Whenever I'm inside my Cat Ball, no one can see me. Glogirly can't find me, the Boss is all "Where's Waffles???" Ok, so the Boss never actually said, "Where's Waffles."

WAFFLES:  Of course my theory of invisibility needs a little bit of work, what with my 15" tail and all.

KATIE:  So Waffles, about that theory of yours...

WAFFLES:  I'm not really here, Boss. You just think you can see me.

KATIE:  You mean like I think I can whap you? 

WAFFLES:  I guess my whole invisibility thing needs a little work.

WAFFLES:  Can you see me now?

About Today's Photos

There's just something about Waffles and enclosed spaces. Bags, boxes, cubbies and Cat Balls. He just loves exploring, hiding and playing when he thinks no one can see him. It really IS like he thinks he's invisible. One of his favorite spots is inside his Cat Ball. We reviewed the Cat Ball a couple of years ago and love it just as much today as we did then.
