Happy Saturday from this cat lady! I got a text from Rosie and her petsitter warning me that I should not even think about bringing home a cat from this trip. LOL! I guess she got wind of my latest Hawaii mission: to befriend kitties at the beach!
I’ve met cats before on beaches on Kauai; they just live at the beach, eating scraps and living off the land and the goodness of strangers. I’ve yet to hang out with any beach kitties on Oahu, though, and I’m hoping that will change on this trip. 🙂
How are things on your end of to the keyboard? I hope that your Saturday has been calm and peaceful so far.

We’ve stayed in Poipu Kauai several times. There used to be a café in Koloa called Tom Cat’s (or something like that, it looks like it’s gone now). They used to have cats prowling around the patio out back and they’d come inside. They knew a cat lady when they saw one (who might just accidentally on purpose drop a bit of tuna). It was my favorite place to grab lunch.
I can’t get over how calm the ocean is where you are. It looks like the perfect family beach!
I immediately thought of The Soft Lawn from Imaginary Authors when you mentioned tennis-themed fragrances! I have a discovery set from them and the opening notes definitely remind me of popping open a new can of tennis balls. Then it gets very green and grassy. I’ve never worn it on skin, but I find it interesting. Along with other notes, it includes “fresh tennis balls” and “clay court.” So funny!
Falling into the Sea is probably my favorite from them, and I love the name.
Speaking of Barbie, I went to see it yesterday and it was really great. It exceeded my expectations.
Great acting and a great script plus it was just a lot of fun.
Oh man there was a cute little adoptable 13 week old black kitten in a big catio type thing in the lobby when I picked Mabel up from daycare Friday (daycare is part of the vet clinic we go to, they also have grooming and rehab) and I got to pat her and she was so sweet but Jiji would kill me for bringing home a cat.
