The Further Adventures of Miss Kitten

It’s been snowing here in Gothenburg pretty much non-stop since November, more than making up for the snowless winters of previous years. I woke up this morning to discover that my balcony was nearly filled up with snow, and this left me wondering if I should be worried about a possible collapse. All the trains coming [...]

I keep hearing from my American friends and family how much it sucks to live in America right now and how horrible President Obama is, but I just wanted to make it clear that it’s so much worse over here.
Tomorrow I’ll have to go and see my neurologist and it will be cost me a [...]

Talk about a cat fight getting seriously out of hand…
The article doesn’t go into a lot of detail so I’m left wondering what the girl said or did to provoke her cousin into almost strangling her to death…with her (the victim’s) own bikini top, no less! The fact that the cousin nearly achieved what [...]

I must first thank my hosts Mark Base and his girlfriend Erika for their gracious hospitality during my stay with them. I must also acknowledge that I can’t take credit for title of this update. About a week ago Mark posted a Facebook event announcement under the same title. In fact he’s the one who [...]

Another Waffle Day in the Kitten household has come and gone. The actual day isn’t until the 25th, but since that’s my busiest day at work we decided to celebrate a couple days early. Waffle Day is traditionally celebrated on March 25th every year, and by celebrate I mean eat enough waffles so that it’s [...]

I thought spring had surely arrived last week after a few plus temperature days where it was so sunny I had to dig my sunglasses out of the bottom of my purse.  It was also so warm outside I had to remove my cashmere scarf and open up my coat.
No such luck. It’s been coming [...]

It finally snowed today! It’s too dark to take pictures so here’s another form of proof. Weather Pixie and her little Weather Kitty are pleased, but their feet are probably freezing.
She usually puts on a coat and boots with the weather gets this cold, but for some reason she’s still wearing a crop top [...]

I can’t understand why this Swedish Jackass wannabe’s girlfriend wasn’t impressed by this stunt.
Failed party trick lands Swedish man in burn unit
A Swedish man’s attempt to impress his girlfriend on Friday night backfired, putting him in the hospital with serious burn injuries and facing allegations of endangering the public.
The woman told police in Västervik [...]

Guess what he told me? He said, “Girl, you’ve got strep throat and need penicillin!”
Loyal readers of my blog and Facebook friends are probably all aware that I’ve been very ill lately. I had a terrible cold the second week of October, and now barely a month later I caught what I thought at [...]

A recent discussion topic on The Local forum inspired me to whip up a batch of the popular but somewhat controversial Swedish confection shown above. They were originally called negerbollar (negro balls) but for obvious reasons most people and most cookbooks these days prefer to call them by the decidedly less offensive (although boring) name: [...]
