As promised, we will now begin the much anticipated discussion of the Battle of Waterloo. Please make certain that you do indeed take notes…One may become quite lost without the proper notes…whether one is a pussycat, or any other creature of a different variety. Now,…let us begin. The Battle of Waterloo was an horrendous battle. It was fought on Sunday, June the 18th, in the year 1815. The battle took place near Waterloo which is located in present day Belgium. At first, I thought that Waterloo was a bird named Loo which resided in water. How very foolish of me! However, how was I to know…I am merely a rather furry pussycat. Intelligent as I may be,…and I am indeed quite intelligent…I do not know everything! Therefore, when my Mumzy announced that we were travelling to Waterloo…I was at a complete loss…There!…I have said it! I am now done for the day…Ta-ta!

Please do forgive me for not being able to post a blog for Monday and Tuesday. I was rather quite busy. It does take one time to groom. Especially, if one is a Persian cat…which I,…indeed am! Alas, one’s fur tends to be a bother at times. As I was grooming, I caught sight of Mumzy. Out of the corner of her eye, she was quietly gazing upon my furry person. She had that…certain look. Also known as…it is time for a much needed hair cut/fur cut look. For, Mumzy has not applied my summer cut as of yet. I do believe that she was pondering the thought of a cat hair cut. Sadly, during the summer, I go through a rather humiliating transformation…Mumzy gives me an haircut…a.k.a….chops off all of my beautiful fur, and makes me look like a wet rat…Yukhhh!!! Not a good prospect,…however one ponders the thought. Yet, it is what it is. Summer is arriving, and my hair cut is unfortunately inevitable…wet rat and all.

Now, on to a more interesting subject matter. Although, I must state that everything about me…is a most interesting subject matter…Fur and all!

On Monday, Mumzy and I watched The Battle of Waterloo Movie on You Tube. It was most fascinating. It seemed to be quite correct historically. It was made by Columbia Pictures in 1970. The Director is Mr. Dino De Laurentiis, and Mr. Rod Steiger portrays the great Napoleon Bonaparte. The movie is very well made. It was a sad movie to watch. Alas, I did emphatically advise the Emperor not to go through with the Battle of Waterloo. Sadly, he did not listen. If you wish to know more…simply read my book…Cat Paws Through History, Ko-Ko the Cat Meets Napoleon Bonaparte. Please watch the movie. It will be quite educational…Ta-ta!

I simply could not bring myself to blog yesterday. My whiskers were drooping all day long. It is a condition only known to pussycats. Basically, I was not feeling bright-eyed and bushy-tailed…which I most certainly do on a daily basis. I have every intention of discussing this Battle of Waterloo matter further, yet presently I am not in the mood. However, I can tell you one thing…It was BAD!…Not a good thing!…Ta-ta!

Actually, I have a C.H.D. which stands for a Doctorate in Cat-ilosophy. However, if you wish to refer to me as Dr. Ko-Ko, that would be quite appropriate as well. Thus, let us begin our second day in the adventures of Ko-Ko the Cat and his unique blog. Overnight, as I spent many an hour purring, I had much to ponder upon. I decided that in my blog, I would share with the masses, my passions for the various matters of importance in the daily existence of my life as an extraordinary pussycat. For example, my adventures and travels, my love of history, classical music and film. The importance of etiquette in the day to day survival of man and beast, etc.

Alas, it shall be an interesting journey. Well,… let us state that it shall be quite enlightening. I shall ponder some more this evening, and perhaps tomorrow,…we shall begin…that is,…if I feel like it. After all, first and foremost, I am a pussycat. Pussycats do what they want…when they want.

Get use to it! It is…what it is.  Ta-Ta!

“Then suddenly, in the distance, he spotted the grass covered hill with a monument placed on the very top. There stood a grand statue. What was that?—He peered intensely, as his golden eyes became more owl-like and focused. My goodness! My goodness gracious! It—was a lion! Now, this was rather ridiculous, he mused, with a squint of his eyes. To think that Mumzy and Popzy had brought him all this way in order to see a statue of a lion was somewhat of a curious idea: However, they had been known to do stranger things than that. Living with them was one adventure after another: Woop-de-doo! Ko-Ko continued staring out of the window in a mesmerized manner. That lion looked quite majestic: For a lion that is, he pondered pensively. Personally, if one were to ask him, he felt that cats were more majestic, but then again, it was perhaps a matter of opinion: His own catty one.”
