PINK PANTHER ~ MEGLIO STASERA 🇮🇹🐱🍀🇨🇦 ♥️🙏

Reminiscing at the moment...

 When M took a picture of Bat in the pink kitty cat hat and named it Pink Panther it took me back to the 1963 movie Pink Panther and Fran Jefferies singing Meglio Stasera in the Ski Chalet MIRAMONTI in Cortina D'ampezzo in the province of Belluno. 

My dad was born there as most of the Livinal family. On my mother's side, Sposaro's family comes from Genova, Naples, and Calabria. Pretty much covering a good part of Italy. Most of our family lives in northern Italy. So, because today it is what it is, I am sharing this post with everyone. A Pink Panther Gatto and this beautiful Italian song to makes things a little more cheery.🇮🇹 🐱🍀🇨🇦♥️🙏

And for Caturday, a Pink Panther who now has claimed the gothic chair for his own with the soft black velvet pillow which has you can see he almost disappears if not for his pink hat. lol 

Meglio Stasera ~ Fran Jefferies

ForbinColossus Thanks for uploading this wonderful video, brings much joy! 

The music of Henry Mancini that added the magic to the 1963 film, The Pink Panther. "Meglio Statsera" (Italian for It Had Better Be Tonight), Sung by Fran Jeffries. Lyrics by Franco Migliacci: 

Meglio stasera, che domani o mai 

Domani chi lo sa, quel che sara

Non mi dire d'aspettare

Il domani che verra

E una porta che tu chiudi

Fra me e te

Se stasera ti decidi 

A rispondermi di si, 

I domani che verrano 

Li dedico solo a te

Megglio stasera, che domani o mai 

Domani chi lo sa, quel che sara 

Nasce il giorno e il giorno muore, 

E la notte portera 

L'incertezza del domani,

Chissa, chissa

Basta un desiderio solo 

A non farti riposar,

E una pulce sul lenzuolo 

Che dormire non ti fa 

Meglio stasera, che domani o mai 

Domani chi lo sa, quel che sarra solos

Se stasera ti decidi 

A rispondermi di si, 

I domani che verrano 

Li dedico solo a te 

Megglio stasera, che domani o mai 

Domani chi lo sa, quel che sara 

English Translation (Let me know if this is wrong, please): 

Better tonight, than tomorrow or never Tomorrow who knows what will be? 

Don't tell me to wait for tomorrow to be it's a door that you're closing between you and me if you decide tonight to answer me with a yes the tomorrows that will come I'll devote them only to you. Better tonight, than tomorrow or never Tomorrow who knows what will be? The day was born and the day dies, and the night will bring the uncertainty of tomorrow Who knows, who knows? Just a single enticement can make you unrest; it's a flea on the sheet that won't let you sleep Better tonight, than tomorrow or never Tomorrow who knows what will be?

HAPPY CATURDAY & EYES OF MARCH 🌼🐱🌼🐱🌼🐱🌼 Out of My Mind

“Imagine if you could dream 75 years of time in one night.”
Maggie…’ Well, I tried to but you interrupted my dream.’

The Dream of Life - Alan Watts 

So then…

Let’s suppose that you were able, every night, to dream any dream you wanted to dream. And you could, for example, have the power within one night to dream 75 years of time. Or any length of time you wanted to have.

And you would, naturally, as you began on this adventure of dreams, fulfill all your wishes. You would have every kind of pleasure.

And after several nights of seventy-five years of total pleasure each you would say, “Well, that was pretty great! But now let’s have a surprise.”

“Let’s have a dream which isn’t under control. Where something is going to happen to me but I don’t know what it’s going to be.”

And you would dig that, and come out of that and say, “Wow, that was a close shave, wasn’t it?”

Then you would get more and more adventurous.

And you would make further and further gambles as to what you would dream.

And finally, you would dream where you are now.

A Stitch in Time Saves Nine * Please Don't Eat The Daisies 🌼🌼🌼 Happy Caturday 😻

They say a stitch in time saves nine, in other words, deal with the problem right now before it gets out of hand. I love Spring, I love flowers and, I love cats and dogs but cats destroy the flowers 🌷🌷🌷 so before they could ( although some leaves already have little teeth marks) kill the daisies I covered them under a glass dome. 😂 Now, Bat is wondering what to do with his extra special day.

Bat Bat Boo ~ Happy Caturday ! 🐈 🧡🎃🦇🧹

BaT, Bat Boo! The spooky cute, little fella that just doesn't miss a chance at keeping my company when I paint. Do you see the cat candle ring on the taper? My daughter gave it to me and I usually wear jewelry for a few days and then eventually it gets used to decorate the house. I think I like it better on the candle than on my finger. p.s. No cat was harmed to take this photo!😉 HAPPY CATURDAY !!!

Sunlight filtering through the glass of the front door painted Bat's eye. Not exactly Ziggy's lightning bolt but close enough. ⚡️🌈 Photo by M

The Spider and The Cat

A Little Caturday Fun playing with the famous poem "The Spider and The Fly" by Mary Howitt 1829


The Spider and The Cat

“Good morning, my darling love”. said the Spider to the Cat;
Don't be frightened by my skinny, spidery legs and all of that.
These hairy limbs surely will give you a tiny tickle;
When I scurry across your back, you'll be in such a pickle.
Go away, go away! said the pussycat; your not my kinda of chap:
I'm unto all your flattery and your spooky, kooky, trap.
