And A Gooder Tuesday

Oh, I am a very happy puss just now. Mind you, I am usually a happy puss so there's no change there, really. Remember I told you that I might go out to play again last night? Well, I did. I had a long sleep after my dinner and then I sat on my MH's knee after she had her shower. I like that lots 'cos she puts on her big furry dressing gown and it is so cosy and soft on my adorable little body and I just LOVE it millions!

We sat together for a while and then the old dear decided it was bed time, so I went with her to make sure she got to sleep OK and as soon as she put the light out, I found my DH and asked him to let me out which he did. I had brilliant fun hunting in all the dark and then as soon as I was a bit tired, I asked to be let in again and jumped on to my bed and had a brilliant sleep with my MH. So it was a super night.

Today was good fun too 'cos I helped the old dear change the sheets and duvet covers and that is a game I love playing. It is just brilliant fun for me and for her too. Then it was big surprise time when my friend S. came to see me and I got lots and lots of cuddles while I snuggled up to her and gave her some of my very bestest purrs which she liked.

I'm afraid I was a wee bit naughty when she was here but it made her and my MH laugh a lot so it couldn't have been too bad. I was on the window sill and I asked to be let out of the window. My MH got up and opened the window for me but I scooted in behind the curtain and didn't go out but as soon as she sat down, I asked again and this time my friend S. said she would try and I am sure you can all guess what I did? Yep, I toddled out like the good, adorable puss I am!

They both chuckled at me and called me a rascal, but I know they love me really!

A Good Monday

I have had a super day. A very good day indeed and, since it is only after dinner time, I will have more good times before I need to go to sleep, so that is most agreeable.

I wakened up this morning and listened, but there was no wind so I knew I would be outside a lot. I ate up all my breakfast and then I was off out into the outside to see what was happening and I got back in time to have my little drink of milk. The rest of my Monday morning was just the usual. I helped my MH with her housework and her exercises but then I got a big surprise when she asked me if I wanted to go outside with her.

Yippee! I was standing at the door before she had even finished asking me. We had good fun just wandering about my garden but then the rain came on and we had to go inside again, but it had been good and I am hoping we will do it again tomorrow.

I made my MH smile 'cos at one time today, she came to look for me and when she called my name, I was down exploring at the big shed, but when I heard her, I started to run really fast and jumped straight through the fence to get beside her and she smiled at me and told my DH I was like a little racehorse which made me smile inside too.

I am resting just now but as soon as I have gathered up all my energy again, then I will head out and see what is happening in the dark time on my little island. I am quite excited.

Better At Last

We have had a much better day today 'cos at last, the naughty wind has started to behave itself and it isn't blowing as hard as it has been, plus we all had an extra hour in our beds because for some reason, my humans decided to put all the clocks back and I am a wee bit worried in case they get into trouble or even miss the boat, but they seem happy with it, so I shall try not to worry too much.

I was a wee bit sleepy this morning 'cos me and my MH had been up through the night and then when we went back to bed, I put my adorable little self on top of her and we had a wee whispered chat in the darkness and I like these times 'cos they are very special.

My MH was very happy today because the better weather meant that she could get out to go to the Hall with all the other peoples and she liked that. I had to be left in my house all on my own but I didn't mind too much 'cos I was happy that my MH was away out. And they comed back to me soon so that was very fine.

You will see that the old dear finally tooked a new picture of me which I hope you will like. I think I look quite fetching! I hope we have a good day tomorrow 'cos I am looking forward to being out for a long time.

A Question

How can this adorable little puss be a bit sad and a lot happy at the same time? Shall I explain? OK, here goes. As I told you yesterday, my humans were hoping to go to the Halloween party in the Hall last night and yours truly was to be left all alone. Sigh.

BUT, the weather was awful with lots and lots of big naughty winds blowing all over my little island and my MH decided that her new knee wouldn’t like it so they decided to stay at home with me. I was very, very happy, but then I saw how upset the old dear was and I was a wee bit sad. See?

I tried to make her a bit happier with lots of cuddles and I think it helped, but then I made her worried ‘cos I kept going away out in the wind and she doesn’t like when I do that. And then to make it a lot worse, I went out at bedtime and didn’t come back until one o’clock in this morning and she was REALLY worried, but as usual I was very fine.

The naughty wind is still blowing but it hasn’t kept me in and I have made my humans really busy opening and closing the window for me. I haven’t told them yet, but I am intending having another late night.

Sorry, MH.

Lots of Wind

It has been very windy on my little island today so, although I did get outside quite a few times, I didn’t stay out very long ‘cos the naughty wind was trying to blow me away, but I stucked my adorable little claws into the ground and refused to go. So there!

There is always lots for me to do in my house and me and my MH played on our bed while she was watching her knee do all its exercises and we had really good fun. That was before I upset her a little when I made her open the door for me three times and didn’t go out on any of them. She finally asked my DH to do it ‘cos I don’t argue as much with him. I just know my MH never gets angry with me although she did call me a ‘wee monkey’ today. But she was smiling when she said it.

My humans are hoping to go to the Halloween Party tonight but the old dear isn’t sure if she should take her knee out in all this wind. We shall see and I will let you know tomorrow.

And Still Happy...

... but I still don't have any new photographs for you 'cos I have either been outside having lots of fun or sleeping to recover so maybe I will be able to pose for you tomorrow.

I'm afraid my MH was a bit worried about me this morning 'cos I only had a wee nibble at my breakfast then went straight to bed and slept till nearly dinner time. She did two lots of exercises and I didn't even help so she was a little bit concerned, but then I suddenly wakened up and asked to go out to play and I was out for a long time before I decided I was hungry and came home to gobble up all my dinner, so the old dear was a lot happier.

She does worry about me but I am a very well little puss. I was just a little bit tired this morning and I have promised to help her with her last lot of exercises.

I know she will like that lots.

Much Happier

I am a much happier puss today because my little weather man friend heard that I wasn't happy with what he was doing with my weather and he made it a bit better for me. It wasn't as good as I would have really wanted, but it was a tad better and it meant that I could get outside for long times lots of times and that made me a much happier little Squeak. So, thank you weather man.

There was also lots of fun while I was inside 'cos as well as helping my MH with her exercises, I played with her too and that was brilliant. We were on our bed watching her leg do all its hard work and when it was finished, my MH wrapped me up in my blanket and tickled me lots and I pretended I was oh so fierce and tried to escape and it was just magic. I just have to be very careful what I am doing with my adorable little claws 'cos I don't want to hurt her, but she understands.

We are all watching football tonight and then I shall head outside again if the weather is still not too bad. I really need my wander round about my patch before bedtime 'cos that always helps me sleep well. And that means my MH sleeps well too.

Result!

Harumph!

I am fed up with this rotten weather! There, I have said it. I have tried to be patient and I have waited and waited for the rain to go off so that I can get out to do what an adorable little puss such as I NEEDS to do, but eventually I just went outside and managed to find a little spot that wasn't too wet so I was a little bit happier.

I wasn't fed up when I was inside 'cos there was lots for me to do. My MH was a wee bit busy doing her exercises and she was making some cards too, so naturally I had to supervise and make sure everything was done properly. I did get a little bit too close at one point and my adorable little paws nearly got covered in some of her glue and if she hadn't told me not to get too near, I might have been stuck to the desk for ever! Oh deary me, that would have been just terrible. I would never have been able to play in my garden or cuddle up to my MH again, so that was a very narrow escape. Phew!

I have just one little complaint and that is that the old dear isn't putting me in her camera and all the photos she is showing you are old ones, so I have asked if she will take some new ones of yours truly and she says she will try tomorrow but if she has to use her stick, then it is hard for her to take photographs, but she says she will try very hard.

Just for me!

A Soggy Monday

It never stopped raining for the en-tire day! Oh dear, I was not a happy puss at all. I tried to go out about three or four times today but got as far as the door and turned back--- very quickly! I even tried at the window but it was just as bad there so I stayed on my window sill and stared out at the rain and was not happy.

After a while, I decided that I was fed up being a chicken instead of a brave, adorable puss cat and I asked for the window to be opened again, and this time I flew out into the outside and into the rain. I managed to find some shelter under one of our bushes but I didn't stay out too long 'cos I knew my MH would be worrying about me and she needed me as well, so that was my reason for just staying out for a little, little while. It had nothing at all to do with me not liking being wet.

Mind you, the best bit about being wet, is getting cuddled dry when I go home again, so if it is still raining when I have had my after dinner nap, I might try heading outside again. I shall consider that option as I sleep!

A Funny Sunday

It was just me and the Boss in my house today 'cos my DH had to go to Stromness so we were all up a wee bit earlier than normal on a Sunday so that he could catch the boat and we had to say 'cheerio' to him. When he had gone away, me and my MH sat on my couch for a chat and then she stroked my adorable little lugs while she watched Jessica solving all the murders again. I am not too keen on the Jessica programme but I love sitting with my MH while she is watching it.

My day just carried on as normal with me nipping outside lots of times and managing to nip back in again before the rain comed on. And of course there were the exercises! My MH told me she has to do them for lots of weeks yet, but she said they are helping her new knee so that is good. She also told me that it helps her when I am beside her and that made me happy.

In the afternoon my DH comed back and he told us all about his day which had been a good one for him, so that was good. So, although it has been a funny, different Sunday, it has still been a very good one and I hope your Sunday has been good too.

Just Another Saturday

... but, as you all know, I like Saturdays and this one was a good one for me. I nipped outside as soon as I had finished my breakfast and I had a good look round my patch to make sure there were no naughty doggies or pussy cats who shouldn't have been there and as soon as I was satisfied that it was all clear, I nipped back in just in time for my little drop of milk. I do love my wee drop of milk.

The rest of my day was just kind of normal for just now which was resting and then lying on my bed beside my MH while she made her new knee do all its exercises. Can I tell you a wee secret? When my humans are sleeping, I find a wee corner in my house and I do my MH's exercises to make my adorable little legs stronger so that I can chase any unwanted visitors to my garden!

I got a lovely surprise when my friend S. comed to see us and I got lots of lovely strokes and cuddles from her which I just loved.

So, I have had a lovely Saturday.

Still No News

But no news is good news, sure it is? I have had a very good day just doing pussy cat things and things to help my MH although one time I made her do her ‘oof’ sound even louder ‘cos I landed rather heavily right on her tummy but once she got her breath back we had a good wee giggle, although she might have been still gasping for breath! Hee hee

I got a wee bit of a shock this afternoon when one of our friends arrived at my house with a DOG!! Not allowed, I purred very loudly, but the doggie stayed out while I stayed in and glowered at it from my window sill.

Apart from that, my day has been a good one and I hope you have had a good day too.

Not Much News

It has been another quiet day in my house and it is kind of quiet on my little island too, so there isn't very much news for me to tell you, I'm afraid.

We all had a quiet morning and as usual my MH spent lots of times doing her exercises---with me at her side of course. While she is counting, she strokes my adorable little body and I like that lots so I purr for her and she likes THAT lots!

My DH went away to the pier to get all our messages and when he comed home, him and me played with the string off the box which was really good fun.

So, although things are lots quieter, I am still having lots of fun and I am still a very happy little Squeak.

A Much Quieter House

We didn’t have any visitors today except for the peoples that brought my MH’s new washing machine up to my house from the pier and put it into my utility room so that my DH can plug it in and let her do some more washing. The old boy was at the Cat Shop so she will need to wait until tomorrow.

The weather wasn’t too bad so I was in and out lots of times but every time I comed home, my MH gave me a big cuddle. She was particularly happy when I popped in the window after my DH went away in his car ‘cos she is always frightened now that I have decided to explore his engine again, but I think I have learned my lesson there!

We just spent the day doing little bits of work and of course the old dear had lots of exercises to do with her knee so I had to do lots of encouraging purrs which always makes her happy.

I am snoozing on my couch now while my DH is watching football but he is not happy ‘cos his team is not winning yet and he is sighing a lot. Oh dear. I have a feeling he is going to be tutting lots more and my purrs are not going to help.

Oh deary me!

What a Night!

There were eight other peoples in my house tonight! So, with my two humans there were ten knees for me to sit on. It was brilliant and I was very happy, but to be honest, I spent the most of my time on my MH’s knee ‘cos that is the bestest.

Now, I know you will want to know why my house was so busy. Well, all those peoples needed to have a meeting and because my MH can’t take her new knee out to play yet, they all comed here and I for one was very happy. I had a very good day up till then ‘cos I was outside lots of times. The weather was quite good for most of the day so it was good fun outside and I did lots of hunting and playing.

There was lots for me to do inside ‘cos my MH needs me to help her do all her knee exercises. I lie on the bed beside her and purr while she works hard and she told me that makes her very happy. So that makes ME happy too.

A VERY Blowy Monday

I thought yesterday was blowy but today was even worse. I heard my humans talking about somebody called Ophelia who was bringing wind and rain with her. I didn’t see her, but the wind and the rain were certainly here!

It was a fine morning and after my breakfast I went outside for a long time and I stayed out so long that I didn’t get to say cheerio to my DH before he went away to the Cat Shop and I think that made him a wee bit sad, but I was having lots of good fun.

I spent the rest of my day nipping in and out but it was a bit windy and sometimes it was very wet, so I didn’t stay out too long and then spent the rest of the day sleeping on my lots of beds until I got a big surprise when my friend S. comed to see me. She said she was here to see how my MH was, but I knew she was really here to see me.

We had good fun together and she gave me lots of cuddles which we both really enjoyed. I like it lots when she comes to see me. And she likes it too.

A Blowy Sunday

I am really quite pleased with my adorable little self 'cos although it hasn't been a very good day, I wrapped myself up in my intrepidness and headed outside into the not very nice weather.

I have to do this 'cos I am a brave puss but all the time I am outside, my poor old MH worries about me and she is always very pleased to see me back inside with her. And, she also need me to help her with her exercises in case she forgets how to count! Hee hee. She told my DH that as well as her knee getting stronger, she is getting strong tummy muscles with yours truly landing on them. She still does the 'oof' sound but I know she really likes it when I am beside her.

There isn't very much news for you today 'cos my house has been quite quiet but we have all had a very good day and me and the Boss are now on my couch watching the dancing which we both like and I am now on my rightful position which is on her knee although I am very careful to put my adorable little body on top of her good knee and not her stitched up one and she is very grateful for that.

More brownie points for me!!

I Like Saturdays....

... and this one was a good Saturday for me although I nearly upset my DH but I will tell you about that later. Me and my MH were up first this morning and we sat on my couch and had one of our little chats which I love.

We had a few of these through the night when she had to get up and when we got back to bed, I put my adorable little body on her chest and she stroked me as she whispered that she loved me millions and that made me purr very loudly with lots of happiness. When she was having her breakfast I got my little drop of milk and then I went outside for what was the first of my many exploring trips which I liked even though it was a wee bit cold.

In the afternoon time I helped my MH with her exercises and yes, I’m afraid I did jump on her again but she was ok with it so maybe I will keep doing that. So, what did I do to annoy my DH? Well, it was more what I didn’t do I’m afraid. My humans were getting their dinner and I thought I might go out to play so I politely asked for the door to be opened which my DH did, but I s’pose you can guess what I did? Yep, I decided not to go out and he was a tad annoyed especially as I asked again as soon as he sat down. Oops!

I saw the look on his face and decided that I had better go out. So I did - - - and I liked it!

More ‘oof’ sounds

I am so busy concentrating on not landing on my MH’s new knee, that I keep landing on bits that make her do that funny noise and to be honest, it always makes me giggle a wee bit. But we won’t tell the old dear that, will we?

We have all had a good day but as I feared, the vacuum cleaner was out and it tooked my DH all over my house while the Boss supervised. I did get out to play a lot but it was a bit cold on my little island, so I had lots of short trips. AND, I had lots of trips to my door just deciding whether or not to try to go out and my MH was getting just a tad annoyed ‘cos the wind was blowing on her too and she just wanted me to make up my mind.

Which I did. Eventually!!

An Uneventful Day...

...but a good day just the same. I did go out to play lots of times but I had a good look round before I went outside in case that very naughty puss had comed back into my territory, but it wasn’t there, so I was able to enjoy myself without having to fight for it!

It is still lovely and quiet in my house although I did hear the old dear asking my DH if he would take the vacuum cleaner out tomorrow, so it won’t be as quiet then. However, I have had lots of quiet days so one busy one will be ok by me.

I’m afraid I have been making my MH do a lot of her ‘ooff’ noises again ‘cos sometimes when she is lying on her bed making her new knee do all its exercises, I sort of leap from the doorway and sort of land on her tummy and that’s when she makes that funny noise.

I think she likes it really!

What a Day!

I have been in a fight! I will let that sink in for a minute before I explain. It was just me and my MH in my house today ‘cos my DH had gone away to the Cat Shop and I knew I had to look after her very specially and so I made a ginormous decision to stay in and take very good care of her. So far so good.

There I was, just looking out of my window minding my own business when I noticed another pussy cat in my garden. NO WAY!! I wasn’t going to let that happen, so I flew out of my window as fast as my little birdie friends and I pounced on this unwanted visitor and chased it away.

There was a little bit of a fight and an awful lot of squealing and squawking and I’m afraid I gave my MH a great big fright. She tried to see what was happening but she was so slow on her sticks that me and the enemy were well gone by the time she got even near the window. She hobbled out the door to see if she could find me and then got more worried when she didn’t see me, so she went back inside and just waited for me to come home.

It took me rather a long time ‘cos I had to make sure my patch was secure and I know that made my MH even more worried and I am really sorry about that, but a puss has to do these things and I know she understands.

A Better Day

It has been a wet day but I have been in and out lots of times and I have enjoyed it. It is a bit quiet in my house just now ‘cos my MH can’t do much housework until her new knee knows how to do it, so there hasn’t been any vacuum cleaner out for a wee while. However, I did hear her mentioning to my DH that maybe he could do some hoovering later on. I didn’t hear his answer!

I have had lots of cuddles from the old dear and I have been helping her with her exercises and we have both liked that lots. I don’t have very much news for you ‘cos I am not doing very much, but I am quite happy doing just the little bits I need to do.

That makes me a happy little puss.

A Bit of a Wimp

I hate to admit it, but I have discovered I am not as brave as I would like to be and I shall tell you why. The nurses came to my house today to take the staples out of my MH’s new knee and as they were sitting on my couch, I decided to have a look. Oh deary, deary me, how I wished I hadn’t. After a quick look and a wee listen, I had to take my adorable little self out of the window before I made an idiot of myself. Oh dear.

The rest of my day went well and I spent it helping my MH with her exercises, then going out to play before nap time. So I had a very good day after the nurse people went away.

The night time on my little island is coming a lot earlier now so when I go outside it is dark and I like that. There are lots of little mouses outside but I haven’t managed to catch any of them yet.

Mind you, I haven’t tried very hard.

A Much Better Sunday.....

.... than last Sunday. It was OK then, but it was wet and windy and the worsest bit of all was that my MH wasn't here with me and you all know how I don't like that. I could hear her voice when she was talking to my DH but I couldn't see her and I couldn't cuddle up beside her and that made me a sad puss, but today I am a happy, happy, happy Squeak, and you all know why.

We have had a quiet day jut doing little bits of things and I am still helping the old dear do all her exercises and I know she appreciates that 'cos she strokes me while her leg is in the air and we are counting. It is really good fun although I don't think her new knee likes it as much as me! Hee hee.

We are having lots of visitors which I like 'cos it means more attention for me so really, everything is going very well for me right now, and I hope everything with you is OK too.

Super Saturday

I am very happy today. The weather has been quite good although it has been a wee bit too wet for me. BUT, being an intrepid little puss, I have been in and out lots of times and every time I comed home, my MH was waiting for me with lots of cuddles.

We have worked out that she was away from me for five days and every day I get about a hundred cuddles so she owes me lots and lots of cuddles and I intend to collect them all! I got a big surprise in the afternoon when my friend S. comed to see me and my MH and we had a good time. I went outside when she was here and when it started to rain, I nipped onto my window sill and S. let me in again and dried me.

I liked that lots so my Saturday has been very good and I hope so has yours.

A Very Contented Little Puss

All is well in my little world, and I hope everything is well with you too. We all had a very long sleep this morning even though it is not the weekend yet, but my MH was up through the night. I am not sure what for, but I think she was showing her new knee what it was like in dark time. Anyway, I had to get up with her to make sure she was OK and to get a little biscuit. I needed to be sure she had remembered our routine. And she had!

I helped her get ready and then my DH started to do some of the work that she can't do yet so I needed to watch him as well and then later in the afternoon when he was cooking, he opened the door and yours truly just sat on the mat and watched the world go by and I was very happy indeed.

My MH then decided she needed to do something on her laptop and she put it on the table rather than on her knee so when she was finished I suggested she write to you and tell you what I was doing and, as usual, she did just exactly as I had suggested.

Oh, I have trained her so, so well!

A Very Good Day

For me anyway, although the weather has not been good at all. Me and my DH are very happy that my MH got home to us when she did or she might not be home yet! It is still very windy but it hasn’t keeped me in.

I have been very busy inside as well helping the old dear do all her exercises to make her knee feel all happy and I can now count to five! One and two and three and four and five and then a big sigh. Does everybody count like that?

You will see that there is a picture of this adorable little puss for you tonight and that is at my request. I was sitting on my MH’s old knee with my head on her shoulder and I told her that you would all be needing to see me soon and whenever I am in that position, she will give me anything!

So here I am!

A Bit of News

We have all had a very good day and I am a very happy little puss but me and my MH have decided that until her new knee is all better, it will just be me on her lap, so for a little while, there will just be short messages from your very favouritist adorable little puss.

Her knee is still too sore to put her laptop on top of it. I have finally been told all about the new knee and I can tell you now, dear friends, I am very sorry I asked but I think my MH is very brave ‘cos she told me she was awake all during the operation to put the new knee in her leg!

It took three buckets of water to bring me round!!!

They are back!

Yippee! My MH and her knee are home again and I am a very happy little Squeak. I was a very good puss while she was away but some days I didn’t eat any of the dinners that my DH gave me and he got a wee bit annoyed so I gived in and ate them an he was happy.

I haven’t seen the knee yet but I have had a seat on the other one and this let me have a explore so when I find out more I will tell you.

I just wanted you to know we are all well.
