Mystery Blogger N’s 2013 theme: “. . .cats with an occasional tea thrown in”
This quote was one I’d never heard, but loved when the blogger posted N is for Narcissistic Cats last year.
Mystery Blogger N. “Cats are the ultimate narcissists. You can tell this by all the time they spend on personal grooming. Dogs aren’t like this. A dog’s idea of personal grooming is to roll in a dead fish.” – James Gorman
Who was it?
HINT: Sometimes you have to struggle to survive when you sip tea with this blogger. Oh and this blogger made a huge change this year.

That pretty well describes my cats. They are outdoor cats though, so they put in extra grooming time with dirt baths. I know that seems like the opposite of grooming, but it just means I don't need to give them baths. It's weird how dirt actually cleans.

I can see that I'm not going to do well with this game.

I have no idea, but enjoyed reading the post. 🙂
I love cats and tea…that's all I've got 😉
Wow. Is Alex first each and every time? I'm always a day or two late.
Hi Lee – Mistress Snark entertains us so well with her tea and cakes – what to eat and what to watch for .. it is (I hope) a great series with River (ex Laura Eno) … cheers to one and all .. Hilary
I have no clue, but I love cats and I'm a tea drinker.
Yep, my cats totally fit the "N" word. I used to have a couch to sit on. It hath been usurped.
Love the quote! My dogs have rolled in some nasty things…

Of course cats are narcissistic! If you were beautiful, regal, clever, refined, and an all around icon of purrr-fection, you'd be narcissistic too. (Yes, you would. Don't do that head shake. I can see you from in here…)
#great-hint. #lousy-guesser
I have one of those "narcissistic cats"…though he was mostly raised by a dog, he still retained enough of his cat qualities—we've given up calling him by name…he has been referred to as "his royal fat-catness" for some time now *sigh*
We had a Cat La Fong once, but His Royal Fat-Catness tops that!
I call one of mine the Royal Barge because you can barely see her tiny feet when she walks – she's like a barge floating down a river.
It has to be River. The tea gives it away
Signatures do that, give you away!
You have to struggle to survive when you sip tea with them? That sounds… problematic. I love tea! LOL
If you haven't had her special brew, you haven't lived or almost died. She's a must visit kind of blogger.
I think I know, but I cheated to find out. 🙂
How sweet you are, Joy. You peeked but didn't answer. Points to you, girl.
Good word. Cats may be Narcissistic but they are lovable too. 🙂 I haven't a clue.
More chances coming, Beverly
Oh, I've read some blogs about cats, but my brain is so tired right now I can't think of any names. 🙂

That's called Alphasoup Brain. We all get it around the letter N.
Oh, it's so nice when the smart kids sit in front of you in class! Great quotes!

I love this comment. Let them be first and then take advantage.
I do love both cats and tea but it sure ain't me
You're highly specialized, DEZ! Maybe Hollywood will do a cat and tea series for you to blog about.
Bwahahaha! I think I recognize that person! You're the bestest, Lee! Here, have some more tea. Jezebel and the cats got together and mixed up a special blend…with a pinch of catnip thrown in. 😉
Now you're talking.
I'm guessing River Fairchild, aka Laura Eno.
You guys are too shmart for me.
Laura Eno AKA River Fairchild.
A+, Elizabeth.
No guess here, Lee. Though, I'm a lot like that blogger, loving my cats and tea, too!
They do seem to go together as a package.
I was pretty sure I read that bit on someone's blog, but I can't remember where. Been too many places, I suppose.
*shrugs* Guess I need more cheese in my system. Off to reboot.

I've said this before. Stop me if you've heard it. Pass the gorgonzola.
Cats and tea. I would think it was my daughter is she had a blog.
LOL.
She was Laura Eno, wasn't she?
She's super secretive, but yes. She was.
No idea who this is, so I guess I'll have to check the comments 😀
Go on and peak!
Sorry but I have no idea who this is. Fun for those who might know him/her though.
Yep. And hope you enjoyed your Blitz Day, Natalie.
When I saw the words: struggle and tea, I immediately thought of Mistress Snark, Laura Eno!
My "rhyming brain" has fallen asleep… hope it comes to life before the challenge ends…
I understand. My this letter, my brain is non-existent for the letter N! Awk! Everything is alphabet, alphabet, alphabet! Stop!
From a lifelong dog lover recently converted to cat lady, I totally understand the self love my two kittens give themselves. Although, one of the kittens totally cleans the other.
You have at least one selfless cat, Sheri!
I don't know who this is but I want to check out their blog now.

Excellent idea.
Here goes, again. This is my third comment. Yay n'stuff. I get the sense that it may well be River Fairchild. I survived the tea, sort of.
And with that, I shall ask the wandering cat to leave my house so I can take over staring at my amazing self in the full-length mirror.
Yep and of course, your starstruckest fan,
Gary
You are on speed dial today, Gary! You're at Annalisa's, you're here, you're on Penny's fantastic blog. Did you dabble in cloning?
I have a cloned speed dial. I'm everywhere and nowhere. Actually, I enrolled in the "How to be a Lurking Ninja" workshop!
That quote! So completely true, unfortunately, =3
Cats are the purfect narcissists, aren't they?
Don't know, but love the cat picture.
I'd like to be a cat just for eyes.
I've never entered a contest I didn't lose, so won't even try.
Jumping in doesn't cost much. Really.
I have no idea who the blogger is, but I about snorted tea through my nose reading that quote. It SO hit home because we had a dog who absolutely loved going to the beach to find dead things to roll in.
And they do this why? It's a mystery.
Oh, I so know who this is…. I actually LIVED but only just, through one of her teas…
The NEW… River Fairchild formally know as Laura Erno. AKA Mistress Snark!
Good show, Michael. You probably get extra points for being among the tea survivors.
I don't know this one but I do know of narcissistic cats!
Oh yes. We all know those felines.
THIRD!!!! HOOPLA!!!!!! I am realizing I am lousy at this game …. But I do enjoy trying… that counts for more than showing up third I hope!
Third is good. Besides first place is always taken by The Ninja! Glad you're enjoying yourself.
I do not believe it. I waited until five in the morning, west coast time, so I could comment first! I shall return. Sheesh, Alex!
River Fairchild?
And here Gary and Penny sat glued to the screen just so they could be here first!
Your posting came up as the letter "M". I reloaded the page and the letter "N" showed up. And of course, who still managed to get here before me at two seconds past five in the morning, your time. Yep and yikes!
The Ninja is always lurking…
Hello lurking Ninja!
