Well, Mom was out watching that vermin film, Ratatouille--and she loved it. Hard to imagine a rat that cooks, and people admire it? Whatever. She was late finishing the Roundup, but here it is. If you were left out, let her know and she'll put you in. We had quite a big gathering, 32 submissions in all! Thanks to everyone who took part.
Now enjoy the pretty kitties who took part in WCB.
John at Scamperdude.com examines how good cooks and cat appreciation seem to go hand in hand. And he features an absolutely adorable little foster kitten. Prepare to say "Awwwww"
Over at Jelly Pizza Queen Taboo reclines on her flowered throne, thinking about global warming and the big concert this weekend, no doubt! Maybe she wonders if No Doubt is playing.
The Jenny Craig people may want to contact Kitikata-san at Kititkata-san's Blog. She has lost so much weight on her diet, she surely deserves a television commerical.
At Chat Katze, in Montego Bay, Jamaica (yes, you read that right) they are out walking in paradise. Don't you wish you were there?
At Lucky and Charmed Wyatt and Egbert will have nothing to do with geneology, but they will make sure that everything gets a good dusting of cat hair!
Over at A Byootaful Life Kate shares pictures of Puddy when she was a mere slip of a cat, before those troublesome pounds settled in. Actually, puddy looks pretty svelte to me now!
Kashim and Othello at Paulchen's Foodblog are balancing taking care of their mom, (she has a my-grins) and having fun. Hmm, which will win out?
Harmon at Cooking With Kate has a very snazzy summer haircut. And he is getting plenty of cuddling from his mom Kate. Looking good Harmon!
Fabulous news over at Miss Ellie's Page. Two special kitties, Cassidy and Shelby, have been adopted together, after a year spent at the shelter. Great work is being done there!
Watch out puzzles! You're not safe around Sophia at Diva Kitty and The Fluffies. She will lay down on you. Be afraid, be very afraid.
Over at Music And Cats Sasha and Sergei are curled up being lazybones, and making biscuits (trust me on this). Go see for yourself
Fridolin and Maruschka are looking mighty glamorous over at Rosa's Yummy Yums. I wish I could get Sundance to pose like that with me, but I fear it will never happen.
The wonderfully kind Boo_licious at Masak-Masak is probably the most popular woman with cats in her town. Two adorable stray kitties visit her home for food and affection, and provide beautiful subjects for a photo op.
Lovely Pia at The World According To Pia writes a heartfelt post about the loss and continuing presence of a beloved cat that has passed on. She speaks for all of us about accepting the loss of their companionship.
Stuart, the marvelous Angry Cat returns to Belly Timber, sparking ruminations on many things, including climate change and life's priorities. Nice seeing you again Stuart!
Poor Gree at House Of The (Mostly) Black Cats is being pestered by the flashy box. Yes, it's a pain to be so cute and have people trying to take you picture!
At CatSynth.Com, Amar and Luna are coping with the terrible heat, and Luna looks quite beautiful. Heat obviously brings out the best in her!
Warning! Don't have liquid in your mouth when you look at Skeezix over at Jon Bon Skeezix's Scratching Post. If you do, you just might spew it all over your computer as you laugh!
Oh dear! The normally amiable Kamikaze at I Got Two Shoes has suddenly been transformed into a demon--and you'll never never guess why. So, go his and Jenn's site and see his evil twin! Come back sweet Kami!
Over at Anne's Food, the adorable Glinda is celebrated. She's just a kitten disquised in a grown up body! With an adorable face.
Lots of excitement over at Marie The Defender, because Marie got a special package in the mail and Donny wants it too.
Even though Dragonheart at Dragonheart's Domain doesn't go out much, he has an excellant way to amuse himself.
There's much excitement over at From A Cat's Perspective, Samantha and Tigger have a lot of news to share with everyone.
Parker at Perfectly Parker gets interviewed! And siblings try to have their say too.
I loved looking at the beautiful slide show of China Cat and Willow at Sammawow. It looks like Tinkerbell left magic dust over there for them! Very pretty.
I was so happy to visit Cuisine Guylaine, where there are so many beautiful pictures of kitties. I don't speak French, but beautiful cats don't need translation!
Uh-oh, Rocky at Artsy Catsy is losing out on serious cuddling time because his humans are cuddling feral kitties and farm animals!
Head over to Chuy's Place to see what the new campaign slogan is!
Well, it's lizard hunting over at Creole Cafe where Coca and Mysri love to bring their trophies home to mom!
Little Jan Brady (great name) at Restaurant Widow has learned all kinds of cool things to do! And is getting bigger and bigger too.
Fun time going on at Momma Grace And Company. The crew have themselves a new climbing toy!
And then there's me, still battling the heat! Things are a bit cooler, but still hot! Chill everyone!
Great Round Up Upsie!
and lots of nice kitties too!

Dear Upsie and Sher,
What a wonderful round-up. You did an excellent job and had a lot of pictures and write-ups. Thank you for all your hard work. Still a scorcher here in the East. Even the house cats are hot. Stay cool. Sounds like going to the movie is the right thing to do. So glad you loved Ratatouille.

Sweet round up Sher. I wish my cats would hold still enough for me to photograph them. It'll never happen though.
I've been trying to email you at your Yahoo e-dress but it keeps getting returned to me.

Awesome round-up! I'm staying away from your Ratatouille post until I can see it myself.

Hi Upsie. Another great round up. Sure wish I owned a cat to be able to participate with everyone! Thought I would drop by and tell you I've given Sher and you an award on my blog :o)
