K, so where has me Da Lat been? No Internet for way too long dudes. Anyway, I'm back with an ADSL connection, so hopefully no one will take this from me anytime soon.....:-)
Right, so I see I ended my last post on lunch..... all the way back in January, SO much has happened since then. But before I continue with my recent history, let me get to that “In Da Beginning” story I been promising ya’ll.
It all started way back before I made my grand entrance to this planet. I was hanging around in a warehouse type joint…. K, warehouse doesn’t actually describe it, cause it was really a beautiful place, lots of stuff to do, plenty tuna to eat, loads of sleepy places to nap in the sun. Just a very happy, content place, really.
There were the times we would meet with “The Creator Dude” He ROCKS by the way. See, I wasn’t really a cat with a body yet; I was a creation waiting to be created, if that makes any sense. We would all hang out and visit with The Creator every so often, did I mention He is DA BEST!!! Gotta love Him. Anyway, we Lat’s would love to hang out with Him, the times we spent with Him were SOOOOO cool. He was our big Dad, and still is actually, but as wonderful as these times were, it was the ’pre-destined throne encounters’ that us Lats really looked forward to the most.
As our places on earth became available, so we were called forward to meet with Creator Dad, and usually shortly after these meetings, depending on the decision reached by each creature, we would either go back to our existence as is, or we would go to the “great house of creation, preparation and training” Hectic! I know! It is all so official sounding, but that’s the way things are run around there. On time, everything having a place and a place for everything, lot’s of order I suppose you could say. It’s all because of the character of Creator Dude actually. His Character is in everything to such an extent that it IS everything. He IS, so therefore everything else IS. Hope that makes sense….
Anyway, back to da BIG meeting. So, I guess I don’t need to tell ya’ll that me Latster also had a predestined meeting of me own. Yup, it was FABULOUS!! I remember, I, like every other creature was so excited about my big day… I know it sounds really dorky, but I promise you dudes, it really wasn’t. This was, and still IS A VERY BIG DEAL!!!
So my day arrived in all it’s glory. Plenty pomp and ceremony, as The Creator likes. He is BIG on that type of thing. I think it comes from Him being The King of Kings and The Lord of Lords, not to mention the fact that He is God of the WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOLLLLLEEE Universe… see I told you he rocks with CAPS!!! Anyway, He and His whole kingdom are very royal and all. I mean it’s not that I have a problem with it, it was actually quite normal to me Lat, and everyone else that lives there, but trying to describe it to you guys on this earth is a little more difficult since there just ain’t the same honor and respect for such things on earth, and even the medieval times don’t come close to representing what The Universe God pulls off on an average day. Anyway, I’m sure you get da picture so far.
So, back to THE day. I remember being hectically excited; I mean I had met The Creator before, but always in the capacity of Dad and Friend, never as King of Kings and Creator of the Universe and ALLLLLLLLLLLL things. It was a little intimidating to little Latster, I must just tell ya. I mean this is THE dude that made EEEEEEEEEEEVVVVVVVVERYTHING!!!!! His very presence has the potential to create things. Thankfully he has a rule; only if you open your mouth and speak it will it be created. Weeeellll, that’s not entirely true, if you open your mouth and speak what you believe in your heart that is. But for Him, he doesn’t need to work on the believing in the heart side of things, so it is only what comes out of His mouth he needs to keep a check on….. WHA HA HA… K so I make him sound like he has trouble with self control…. Nahh! He doesn’t, NOT AT ALL. But it is funny to watch him when he pretends to be having trouble with it… He used to have fun with us and speak something and it would be created and then he would go “OOPS! Did I just do that” WE were like Huh? You mean to tell us you didn’t mean to do that… then he would pack out laughing and say something along the lines of “GOT YA!”
Anyway, I will say He LOVES creating, some days it seems He just can’t help himself, he IS creation, every time he opens His mouth he is making new stuff…..it’s hard to even find descriptive words to explain His Majesty to you. He is sooooooo HUGE yet will bring himself down to the level of the smallest of his creation to make sure that the nitty gritty is operating and running smoothly…. WHAT A DUDE. “DUDE OF ALL DUDES” is what we used to call him at worship times. This is Lat lingo for LORD OF LORDS, KING OF KINGS, BOSS OF BOSSES, CREATOR OF CREATORS in other words there just ain’t NOBODY above Him.
K, I know I keep on getting to DA Big moment and then get all distracted on how FANTABULISTIC da Creator is… sorry bout dat, it’s just that He truly is MAMMA MIA brilliant!!!
Right, so my BEEEEEEG DAY arrived. I was escorted to MY GODIE’s Throne. It was a huge ceremonial moment. Once I had made my way to where he was sitting and bowed before him in reverential fear honor and the utmost respect, my Godie welcomed me and motioned for me to come closer to Him. Then he hoisted me upon his knee and scratched my chin a little… Wait, hold on! I need to clear something up here, as I write this I can hear you all shouting “HUH? That sounds so contradictory Lat?”. One moment I’m bowing in reverential fear, the next I’m getting my chinny win scratched by this HUGE GOD! Guys, I don’t know how to explain the relationship. It is like you have this knowledge of Him in all spheres. You meet Him in the throne room as Ruler and King of all things and you can’t help yourself, bowing is the only natural thing to do, but then He picks you up and holds you close and tenderly like a good Papa should and you can’t help but melt in those same large arms and chest that you were bowing before a moment ago. You can’t help but once again just submit yourself to a scratch, a hug, or a tickle on the belly. Anyway, just felt the need to clear that aspect up.
Right so back to….. *drum roll*
THE MOMENT…..
He looked deep into my eyes and asked the question……….
Now you all wanna know the question, but me Lat needs to run along now, loads to do, so puleeez hold on for moi, I promise to bring part two to your computer screen as fast as I can. In the meantime I leave you to ponder the greatness of God Almighty!
Chow Meow!

Introductions are soooo overated....
Hi Guys
This is me The LAT! Ally Cat actually (the Greek translation for "found in an ally"), but my name has taken all kinds of different forms over the years, and the Lat part comes from my name changing to "Lally Lat", and then "Lally The Lat", and then The Lat or Latster, which are the ones I prefer, of course me Mum does the "Lala" deal which totally annoys me, especially in public, but Hey! That's what Mom’s do, right? Embarrass you in public with loads of love, affection and baby names like Lala... eish sounds like a la-la-bye....
Okay, so I was born somewhere in February in the year 2000, making me an almost 8 year old Cat. Yep C-A-T for those of you a little slow on the uptake there, and y-e-s, I have a blog, and y-e-s, I do the same as all of you do with your blogs, I express on it.
So how does a cat express? Well, you find a human willing to work with you, willing to see deeper than most, and then VOILA!! WHA HA HA! Noooo silly, I don't mean in the phsychic, hand me your palm while I channel your ass into the next world, hokey-pokey, freaky, weird way. I mean, willing to see the creation of the creator in each creature including a cat, and willing to bring it out, to express it. My human of choice, Oooops! She will kick my butt for that remark, uh hem... I mean the human that took the time to recognize my many talents would be none other than me Mum.... yep Niece. Oh and definitely me Dad, Stevo, he is way cool too and completely gets me.
See, Niece decided it would be fun to express life from the family cat's perspective and so here I am, although I feel I must categorically state that I am far more superior than just the run of the mill family cat.
So am I a mere figment of a way too wild imagination of another strange human? mmmmm.... that's up to you. Is “Steward Little” real? Do penguins really surf or tap dance? Do rats really cook in their own bistro’s? Well I should hope so, or the world would be a pretty nasty place don't ya think? Well, how real it all is depends on the humans that are willing to believe, look deeper….go deeper.... Cue jaws music….HA!!! Dudes!!! Dudes, puleeez snap out of it, you're all too serious here. I mean if Hollywood can get away with it, why can't we. So here I am imagined.....real, you decide.
So, I got an "in the beginning" story for ya all, but for now here's a little background. I live in Fourways, Johannesburg, SA with my parents, Steve (Stevo) and Denise (Niece/Da Niece), they are the best humans a Cat could ask for. We are a happy little family unit really, we live and love life, and like any family have our ups and downs, but from a cats perspective this is THE home I was assigned to, and I wouldn't swap it for all the tuna in da sea....mmmm someone mention tuna, what’s that growl... oops me stomach again.....
.... ummm... now where was I? Oh yes!
Well my interest are varied. Let’s see, I love to eat, Tuna is my favorite at the moment, I tuna everything actually, pizza's, pies. sandwiches, k, nuff talk of food. Oh and then I sleep loads too, it's very important for cats to sleep a lot, all that protein to digest. Then there is my other most favorite thing in the world. My Ducati. I LOVE riding her, she is red and polished, driving to Durbs to hang with my surfer buddies and have fish braai's (BBQ’s) on the beach is my favorite thing to do. Although I don't do water much, and think my beach bum buddies have possibly had the sea air corrode parts of their brains, I mean how else do cats do water, especially THAT MUCH at one time. You got to have slight concussion somewhere, but I do however enjoy a good fish braai (BBQ) on the sand, watching the magnificent paint job in the sky as the sun sets. I also find the ocean dudes way more chilled than our city counterparts. Gauteng is way too stressed and if I didn't have my weekly "beach bum braai breaks" I might end up as frazzled as the rest.
Anyway, back to my interests. I live in a complex (loads of houses on top of one another surrounded by a large wall, not too romantic, I know, but it’s home) at the moment, and "manage" all the cats that live here, you see I'm da boss and they are my servants... LOL just kiddin. Nah Seriously! I got a little guard shift business going here, just to make sure things keep running smoothly, you understand, no riff raff or the likes of causing trouble in my Lathood (that would be cat neighborhood to some of you that are not familiar to Lat slang).
The guys, or "The Dudes" as they like to be referred to, are all cool cats, we got a good thing going, they work hard and I sleep hard, hehehe, okay I'll stop da kidding around. They good guys, and we all work together really, for the greater good of the complex, area and hood. My other favorite pastime is movies, we Lat's rent out cinemas at the midnight shows, and onwards, usually fill up the cinema’s. My parents are usually soooo slow at seeing the latest stuff, by the time they get there I've usually seen things 10 times or more. Of course I'm very selective though, I don't just watch any ol stuff, and we all know how much "stuff" is out there. I find movies are like fine food, you need to be selective of what you subject your stomach and body to, likewise you need to be selective of what you subject your mind to, hope you kids out there are hearing me, there are PG restrictions for a reason… okay, off me soap box, nuff preaching. I am always on the look out for good stuff, you know, important stuff, deep stuff, pointful stuff, stuff with meaning, reason.... I’ll explain in another post why me The Lat has such fine taste, will also post some pics, but for now, I got to sign off, I have some business to take care of in da hood, and lunch is coming up soon.
Love ya all madly and talk again soon
