Yippee!

My little weather man friend was right again. We have snow! Lots of snow and I am very, very happy. We got a big surprise last night when my MH looked out of the window and saw that my garden was all white and I scooted outside to make sure it was snow---and it was! Oh, brilliant.

I finally did manage to sleep but as soon as I wakened up in this morning, I ran to my window to make sure the snow was still there and it was. Oh, my dear friend, I was just the happiest little puss in the en-tire world! Are you reading between the lines that I quite like the snow? Hee hee

My DH went away to the Cat Shop although I think he would have preferred to stay home in the warm, but he had to go and oft he went leaving me and the old dear to spend the day doing what we liked. She did some housework and some of her big picture which is coming along quite nicely, and then she played with me 'cos although I was outside quite a lot, my trips were very short 'cos it was cold! Like freezing and just a tad too cold for my liking.

But I needed to have my adorable little feets in the snow, so I nipped in and out lots of times, ran around for a little bit and then nipped back in again or a warm-me-up cuddle.

My day could not get any better. I hope you like the adorable little paw print I left on my window sill. I think it looks beautiful.

Excitement

I am an excited little Squeak 'cos when I was watching my little weather man friend on my television tonight, he told me that there might be some snow on my little island. In fact, there might be a lot of snow and that makes me a very happy little puss 'cos I just LOVE the snow! I don't even mind when my adorable little feets get cold 'cos I love the soft feeling when I jump in the snow. Oh I can't wait. I don't think I will sleep tonight but please don't tell my MH I said that or I am in trouble.

We have all had a good day. W didn't do very much although the vacuum cleaner and the dusters were out again but there were lots of cuddle times and play times for me so that just suited me fine. There's not a lot of news but my friend J. sended me a message on my MH's computer and once we have written this to you, she is going to let me see what my friend has sended me. That makes me excited too.

I must admit that I am an easily excited little puss and I just love it when I can play with my humans or when any of my friends come to my house and make a fuss of me. In fact, sometimes when my MH is talking to my friend S. on the phone she can hear me purring if I am sitting on my MH's knee and she knows I am a happy puss.

I hope if you have got snow that you like it as much as me and that it is making you happy.

Lonely Puss

Well, in spite of me asking--nay, pleading -- with my little weather man friend to send a wee gale that would keep my humans at home with me, I was left all alone today because there was no wind, so oft they went on the boat and leaved me in my house all alone. Sigh

I did manage out to play for a little while before they left, but the window had to be closed, so I was in my house all day till they comed back to me and then I got lots of cuddles and a wee while in my garden.

So, you will have worked out that I don't have any news for you except that my little weather man friend told me on my television tonight that there is going to be a lot of snow next week and it has to be VERY cold, so I don't think I shall be staying out too long.

On the other paw, I do love the snow, so maybe if I jump in it and run about very quickly I won't get too cold. I shall have to give this problem some very serious consideration, but as soon as I know, you will know too. OK?

Another Sunday

I had a very good sleep last night and I sleeped the whole night, which meant my dear old MH was very pleased with me when we wakened up this morning so that was a very good start to my day. And it just got better.

As usual, my humans didn't do any housework and apart from my MH going out for a little while, there was plenty of time for me. I played lots and lots with bits of paper, with my little mouse and with my ball and I made my humans smile lots when I played all by myself and pretended that my little mouse was a big fierce monster and I killed it dead---lots and lots of times. Brilliant fun!

I was outside quite a few times but still just for little times 'cos it is very cold. I won't be going out through tomorrow day time 'cos both my humans are going to Stromness and it is too cold to leave the window open for me, but to be honest, I am quite happy staying in the warm.

I can always go ut to play when they come home to me so that will be very fine.

A Much Better Puss

I realised when I wakened up in this morning that I had better be a very good puss 'cos I wasn't terribly sure if the old dear had forgived me for what I did through the last night. So, I got up very quietly and just nibbled at my biscuits until my MH was up and ready to feed me with proper food.

But I needn't have worried 'cos she still loved me just as much as ever and wasn't angry any more so I was a very relieved little Squeak. Our weather is still quite good although a bit cold, but not enough to keep me inside and I have been out to play quite a lot and I have liked that very much. I do love when I can get outside. I love all the sniffs and sounds and watching the little birdies especially when I know that when I go home again, there is always a big cuddle waiting for me and, if I want, my humans will play with me.

So, my day has been a very good one and I have liked it lots. I hope your day has been a good one too.

Well....

...I have never been nearer to being Squeak soup than I was in the dark time through last night and of course I shall tell you why. For some reason I was very restless and couldn’t sleep and when I can’t sleep I don’t like it when my MH is sleeping without me, so I wakened her up a lot of times and she was a little bit cross with me.

We had been up a few times and when we went back to bed, she asked me to please go to sleep and if I couldn’t then would I be a good puss and just lie nice and quiet.

Well, I tried. Honest I tried, but I failed! I plonked my adorable little self up on to the dressing table and I played my game of pinging the little light cord against the mirror ‘cos I like listening to the little clinking noise it makes and it did that a few times - - - except for the last time.

I went to hit the switch, but one of my claws got stuck in it and when I pulled hard to get away, it banged really hard - - - and noisily!! - - against the mirror at the same time switching on the light! Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear. My poor old MH sat right up in her little bed ‘cos she thought we had been hit by lightning. Oops. But then she saw it was me and she was angry. Like soup pot angry and it tooked me a long, long time to be forgived.

I just spent the rest of the night time lying very, very still. Oh yes, I do know when to stop being naughty, but I think I nearly got it wrong last night. .....Nearly! Hee hee

Still Good

My little weather man friend has sended me another good day and I like that. It is still a wee bit cold for me, but at least it is dry and there was no wind at all so I have been an outside puss for most of the day. My MH was doing some of her housework so I was quite happy to be in my garden and not beside the vacuum cleaner and the dusters.

I nipped in every so often just to see how things were and to get a wee cuddle and one time, when the old dear was having a rest, I asked her to play with me and she did just that! I was playing with the toys that my DH brought home for me yesterday and I made my humans laugh 'cos just as the old boy was saying that my little ball was too big to go under the unit, I managed to push it right in and he had to get a big stick to get it out again! My MH said she thinks I do things like that on purpose. Moi?!!

There is a picture which shows me just getting ready to push the little ball and I hope it will make you smile too.

A Brilliant Day

This has been one of my bestest days for a long, long time. I wakened up quite early 'cos I needed to help my DH get ready for the Cat Shop. Well, that's MY story. The real reason is that whoever is up first feeds me and today it was him, so I had to be in the kitchen to remind him. See?

So, anyway, I ate up all my breakfast and then headed straight outside as it was an absolutely beautiful morning with some sunshine and no wind and just the day that suits me purr-fectly. Oh, I was very happy indeed and I purred very loudly to my MH when I popped back in the window just in time for my milk. An excellent start to my day.

And it just got better 'cos the weather was so good that my MH could leave the window open for me to come and go just as I wanted. And one time when I popped back in, the old dear was changing the beds, so we were able to play one of my very favouritst games and that made me very happy indeed.

In the afternoon, we both went into the gym but I was able to play outside while the old dear was on her treadmill and her bike and then my day got the bestest ever when my DH comed home because he brought me lots of little treats for my tummy as well as a little red ball and a mouse for me to play with and I love them both MILLIONS!

I don't think I will sleep much tonight 'cos I am so excited. It feels as though it is like Christmas again and I am happy. So very, very happy!

A Better Tuesday

Everything was better today. Both my humans were at home with me and the weather was much better, so I was a big lot happier. I had been up through the night time with my MH and had had a wee nibble at my biscuits so I wasn't hungry when I got up for good, and went straight outside when the old dear was ready to open the door for me. I wandered about my garden and comed back in just in time for my little drink of milk then I went outside again.

I just spent my day doing much the same. In for a cuddle, a wee feed and a snooze and then out to play for a while, so it has been a good day. Not a very exciting day, but it has made me a happy puss just the same and that's all that really matters, sure it is?

I hope you have had a good day too.

Miserable Monday

The weather was miserable and so was I ‘cos my humans were both away from home and I was left all alone. My MH did think about leaving the window open for me but it was too wet and cold, so I was closed in all by myself.

I did have plenty to eat and drink so I was fine on that score, but I was lonely ‘cos I am at my happiest when my humans are with me. However, I did have lots of fun with them when they comed back and my MH played with me as often as I wanted.

After my dinner, I just snuggled up on her lap with my adorable little head on her shoulder and I snoozed while she stroked me. It was beautiful and it made me very happy indeed.

But I don’t have any news for you except to tell you that I am very well and now I am happy.

A Super Sunday

Oh, my dear friends, at last I have some good weather news for you. I had sunshine on my little island today! Not warm like in the summer time sunshine, but bright sunshine just the same which meant it wasn't raining and even the wind had gone away and there was hardly a breeze. I was so very happy to be able to get outside for as long as I wanted without having to worry about the awful weather. I liked it MILLIONS!

So, you will understand that I have had a very good day and my MH was happy too 'cos it meant that she could get on with doing her picture while I was outside doing puss cat things and not driving her crackers banging on the wind chimes to get her attention. She did play with me when I comed home though so we have both had lots of fun.

She went out for a while with her friend so I just stayed in my garden till she comed back to me and then we played together again. Then I got a big surprise when my friend S. comed to see me. I must admit that I told her I had been a little bit annoyed at my MH and she said she would have a word with the old dear for me.

I shall wait and see if there is any improvement although I did hear today that both my humans are going to be away from the island tomorrow, so I am to be abandoned again! Sigh. I just hope the weather is good so that the window can be left open for me.

I shall tell you tomorrow.

Fun Day

I have had good fun today. We didn't get up too early and when I got up I raced to the window to see what my weather was doing and it was very fine indeed. Yep, it was still cold, but still fine for me, so I just headed straight out to see what was happening on my little island. I stayed out quite a long time but, as usual, managed to time it perfectly to get my little drop of milk just as my MH finished her breakfast.

My humans didn't have much to do today although my MH did some of her big picture, but I think she must have listened to what I told her yesterday and she made sure that there was plenty of time for me and we played together lots which always makes me a very happy puss.

So, my Saturday has been a good one with lots of trips outside and lots of plays with my MH, and today I have no complaints at all. I hope you have had a good day too.

A Much Better Day

We have all had a very good day. The weather was fine---just a bit cold still, but dry and not too windy, so I have been able to get out to play lots of times which has suited me fine because I have been a tad peeved lately and I shall tell you why.

You know my MH is doing a new bead picture? Well, I am very happy for her BUT I am also jealous 'cos it is taking up lots of her time and I feel that some of that time should be for me. See? I know, I know, I am being a silly puss 'cos she always stops and talks to me or cuddles me whenever I ask but I can't help feeling a little bit jealous of this great big picture and all those little beads.

Where am I now, I can hear you ask. Well, I am in my usual position which is on her knee on my couch with my adorable little head on her laptop while she is typing this story to you, so I am not being neglected. I am just being silly and I will ty to be better. I promise.

We did have some good fun together and I even went into the gym with her today and while her little legs were working hard, I played on my grass and ran about for a while before going back inside to see if she was OK-- and she was!

So, that has been my day. Not a bad one at all, but I really must try to be a better puss.

A Bit Better

I have been watching the scales but my little Wi Mi says I am still very fine. I am just a tad concerned because the weather has been so bad that I can't get out to play as much as I want and I am not getting the exercise I need to stay purr-fect. My MH says she will do her very bestest to make sure that she plays with me lots so that I shall stay like I am.

There was not as much wind today but it is still too cold for my liking and still a tad breezy, so I have been inside lots. I watched my MH as she did little bits of housework and waited patiently till my DH comed home with our messages 'cos then it was string time and we played lots and lots.

Then it was time for me and the old dear to play on top of my bed and she wrapped me up and tickled me and I loved it, but I did my usual and falled asleep again! Oh dear.

So, again, I don't have lots of news but we are all very well ad I hope you are too.

Windy!

What a day it has been! My little weather man friend was right when he told me that there was going to be a great big wind today. It was a really bad one and all the little boats stayed in the harbour so all the humans on my island had to stay at home. I like it when my humans are with me and we have had a good day.

I did manage out for one very quick trip but by the time my poor old MH had sat down again, I was back at the window demanding to be let it. Well, it was really cold and very, very windy and definitely not a day for an adorable little puss like me to be outside for long.

I played with my MH and watched as she did her picture and then my DH was doing something with our oven, so I had a good look inside with him while he was kneeling down on the floor. I know not to go near said oven when it is hot, but it wasn't on at the time so I knew I was safe. It did satisfy my curiosity, though 'cos I had a good long look.

So, although it has been a not good day outside, it has been very fine inside my house and as the wind is finally getting a wee bit not as fierce, I think I may venture out later.

I do need to use up all this energy!

Much Quieter

That's what my day has been. A lot quieter today with not so many visitors but it still has been a good day. I have been very lazy though and haven't done very much at all so there isn't very much news for you.

It was just me and my MH in my house as the old boy decided to go to Kirkwall and get some things that we all needed so me and my MH had a very lazy day and she did some more of her picture. She said it is going to take her a long time but she is happy doing it and I am happy watching her.

It is still very cold here. so I was quite happy to spend most of my day inside and we just waited till my DH comed home and he told us what he had been doing. He was a lot busier than we were! My little weather man friend told us that there is going to be another big gale tomorrow and all the boats are staying off the sea so my DH won't be able to go to the Shop tomorrow and will stay home with me.

So, that's all my news and I am sorry there isn't more, but maybe tomorrow. I hope so.

What a Day!

I have been a very busy puss today 'cos there have been lots of peoples in my house to sing happy birthday to my MH and that made us very happy. So, you will have worked out that today is my dear MH's birthday and I have gived her lots and lots of birthday purrs and cuddles.

My DH went away to the Cat Shop as usual and then after we had had a wee chat, the old dear started to do some of her housework but every now and then she had to stop when some of the visitors comed in with her birthday card and a wee chat. It was good and we all liked it lots.

And that was the day really, but it was a very good one. My MH even managed to do some more of her picture and then when my DH comed home again, she played with me in our bedroom, so we have both had a very good day indeed.

It is a shame it's not her birthday every day. Hee hee

My Sunday....

.... has been a good one and I have done lots of things which I have liked. I had a couple of quite long trips outside while the rain was away some place else and when it was on my little island, I was inside my house with both my humans.

We all had a very lazy day and my MH thinked about going into her little gym, but it was a bit cold for the old dear, so she decided to stay in with me and that made me happy although I think maybe her little legs weren't too pleased!

She sat at the table for a long time doing her picture and, as usual, I patiently sat and watched her and waited till she was finished so that she would play with me. I am afraid she tooked a bit longer than I wanted, so I had to ask her very loudly 'cos I was a bit bored. So, how did I ask? Well, I nipped up onto my window sill and hit the chimes which are hanging there and they make a lovely sound so the old dear knows I want something. Now, when I say they make a lovely sound---they do the first time I thump them and maybe even the second time is OK, but after that I know it is a tad annoying and so in order to get some peace and quiet, the old dear stops what she is doing, and tends to my every need. And that is just how it should be!

I got a wee bit excited when my MH found a bit of string for me and we played with that for a long time and then we played with my toys and my bit of crumpled up paper which I can play paw-ball with and chase it all over my house.

So, all of that made up for the times when I was a wee bit fed up and playing with my MH made me a very happy puss indeed.

Soggy Saturday

You may have guessed from that heading that it has been wet. Like VERY wet. It started off being quite a good Saturday but then every now and then the rain came on really hard and really noisy against my windows, so I had to time my out times very carefully or I might have been a soaked puss. And that is a definite no, no!

My MH did some more of her picture while I watched her from the back of my couch. I like watching her and all the little crystals shine at me and I like watching them too so I was very content, and then we got a visitor and she stroked me and made a fuss of me and that made me a very happy puss.

I had a few trips out and managed not to get wet but I did get cold and needed a big warm up cuddle when I went back home. Which I got, of course. Later in the afternoon, me and my MH played lots of games and now I am on her knee beside her laptop while she is trying to write this for you.

So, my Saturday has been good and I hope yours has been too.

Friday Fun

It has been another good day Chez Squeak and I have had a very fine time indeed. It is still very cold and there was a tiny wee drop of snow, but nothing too exciting.

We were all at home all day and my MH didn't even go into the gym 'cos she decided that her little legs needed a wee rest, so I helped her do that by sitting on my couch with her while we had one of our girlie chats which we both like lots. She did a wee bit of housework and I just wandered round my house after her and waited for a cuddle or a play with one of my toys.

We played lots of times together and one time she was using a carrier bag on top of our bed and I decided I had to have a serious explore and my MH tooked these pictures which I am sure will make you smile.

Later in the afternoon I sat on the back of my couch and watched the old dear as she started to work on her bead picture. She told me and my DH that there were over twenty five thousand little crystals that she has to stick on so I think I will be a very old puss by the time she is finished. I can't even imagine that number and I still don't know how my MH worked it all out. I shall have to ask her one day.

I haven't been outside too much and when I did go out, it was just for a little time and then I scooted back inside again and there was always a cuddle waiting for me. It always makes getting frozed worthwhile!

Fun Time

Weather report first. Wet and cold--bitterly cold but no snow. Apart from that, I have had a very good day. Both of my humans have been at home except for the little time my DH had to go to the pier to go and collect our messages and then it was string time. Oh, I do like string time. We played for a long time and I just loved it MILLIONS!

After that, it was time for a seat on my couch with my MH before we both went into the gym. She has been asking me all week to go with her and I have always said 'no' but I feeled sorry for her today, so I went out with her and stayed till she was finished and she liked that lots.

Later in the afternoon we played my favourite 'under-the-blanket' game and again we had brilliant fun till I did the usual and falled asleep and my MH just left me to have a good snooze but every now and then she would come and give me a wee cuddle and that was just brilliant.

So, I have had a very good day just doing all the things that I love the very bestest, and I hope you have had a very good day too doing all the things that you like.

A Very Quiet Day

It has been a very cold day today. In fact, there was even a little bit of snow but not enough to even make my path white before it all went away again. I watched it from my kitchen window but I decided it was too cold for me to be outside.

I have had a good day anyway. My DH went away to the Cat Shop and I sat with my MH on the couch until she was finished her breakfast and I got my little drink of milk then I decided to have my first little snooze of the day. I'm afraid I had lots of snoozes today because to be honest, I didn't really want to go out to get frozed, so I was very happy in my house just snoozing and dreaming of warm summer times.

My MH went away into the gym and let her little legs do some exercises and then we sat on my couch again when she comed home and just waited for my DH to come back from the Cat Shop and then we listened while he told us all about his day.

I am having my after dinner snooze and thinking about whether or not I shall have a turn out before bed time, but I think I probably will 'cos it always helps me to sleep better!

More Fun

I am having lots of fun just now. Lots of fun in my house and outside as well 'cos the weather is still quite good. It is freezing cold so when I do go out I just stay out for little times and then I go back in to where it is cosy and then I play some more.

Sometimes I play all by myself which makes my humans smile and then sometimes I ask my MH to play with me and we have lots of good fun. I love the game where she wraps me up in my blanket and tickles me and every time we play that game, I end up falling asleep while the old dear strokes me and I have a long snooze under the blanket and I like that lots.

There was a doggy in my house again! The doggy's human needed to talk to my MH and so the doggy stayed in my porch. So although I knew it was there, I didn't really see it. I don't know what I would do if I did see it but I am sure I would be very polite.

That's just the kind of puss I am :-))

It is Still Good

I am really liking this weather and I am so very, very happy that I decided not to do this hibernating thingy 'cos I would have missed all this lovely weather. OK, it is still cold outside, but I have been sunbathing inside!

I know that might sound funny to you, but as I was wandering through my house today to see where the old dear was working, I discovered that the sun was shining through the spare room window right on to one of my beds. So, I nipped up onto the bed and settled down in the middle of the sunny spot and just sort of cooked for a while. But oh my dear friends, it was just brilliant. I was a cosy as a little pie. And so very, very happy. I think I was even purring in my sleep!

My MH comed and found me after a while and when she stroked my adorable little tummy she laughed at how warm I was and she told me I was a very clever puss---but I already knowed that. Didn't I?

My MH's friend M. came back to my house today to go into the gym with the old dear and they wanted me to go with them but I was so comfortable that I decided to let them go on their own and I just nipped back on to my bed to finish off my tan. Hee hee

I have had a very good rest today and I will probably have a long stay outside before bedtime because the weather is still good and there is no wind at all which suits me purr-fectly!

I am a very happy pussy cat indeed.

Happy, Happy, HAPPY!

I have had a super, duper day. A brilliant day that I have just loved. My little weather man must have listened to me last week and he has sended me some beautiful weather and that has made me and my humans very happy. We have all been outside today 'cos there has been no rain and not even a little breeze.

I played outside lots, my DH did a wee bit of work outside and my MH went for a walk to post all her letters. That was the only thing that made me a wee bit upset today 'cos she went away without me and I would have liked to go for a walk with her. It is quite a long way away and I think she was worried that I might get a fright and run away, but maybe I will go with her the next time. Please?

I have just spent my day nipping in and out and one time when I nipped in, I discovered that my friend S. was in my house and that made me happy. I gived her a big purr and that made her happy too.

So, it has been a brilliant day and we have all liked it millions. I hope your day has been a good one too.

And An Even Gooder day

I wakened up very early in this morning and as usual I listened for a little while and once I heard that it was all lovely and quiet outside with no wind and no rain, I wakened my MH and asked to be let out. It took a wee while for the old dear to get the message, but eventually I was outside in my garden and liking it very much. I stayed out a long time before I went inside for my breakfast and then my wee drop of milk.

As you know, there is no housework in my house at the weekend and so I helped my MH as she watched Jessica on my television and then I wandered through to my bedroom for a little snooze before I went back outside again. I did that lots of times and I was just the happiest little puss in the world. And then my day got even better 'cos two of my friends, M. & S. comed into my house to watch a film on my television with my MH and that meant that I had lots of knees to sit on which was just absolutely brilliant.

It was quite a long film, so I had company for nearly the whole of this afternoon and I liked that very much. When they were going home, we all noticed that it was raining but that still didn't keep me in and I had another little while outside before dinner time.

I am now snoozing but the rain has stopped, so I will probably have another while outside before bedtime, and then we will see what kind of day tomorrow will be. I hope it is a very good one for you and me.

A Much Better Day

I had a very good sleep last night which is quite surprising really 'cos I hadn't been outside at all yesterday. It was the first day of my hibernation thingy. In fact, I think it was the ONLY day of my hibernation thingy. Hee hee

I had decided that since puss cats don't normally hibernate, then I could make new rules to suit myself and the first rule was that I would still get up to get fed, and to play with my MH and to sit on visitor's knees. OK, it was rather a big first rule, but I am new to all this. So, with this I mind, I wakened up this morning, and as usual, the first thing I did was listen. I expected to hear the wind, but everything was quiet. I rubbed my adorable little lugs and listened again but still it was quiet and when I jumped up onto the window sill I saw that it wasn't raining either, so I gently wakened the old dear and asked her to please feed me and then let me out 'cos today wasn't going to be one of my hibernating days. Yippee!

And the rest of my day was spent nipping in and out lots and lots of times and although my little island was cold, it was still brilliant being able to get out to play and do pussy cat things without getting hailed on or rained on or blowed away.

I have had a super day and since the weather is still the same, I will probably be outside a few times more before bedtime. I can hardly wait, but I am very busy having a snooze just now, so fun time will need to wait till later.

A Question

If I get up and eat my dinners and play with my toys and my humans is that still hibernation? I say it is but my MH says it's not and if I really hibernate then I have to sleep until Spring time. I think if I do that my adorable little tummy might complain, so I have some serious thinking to do and I need your help.

I half hibernated today 'cos I got up and did all the things I usually do but I didn't go out 'cos it has been a really wet and windy day outside and definitely not a day for puss cats to be outside. I have been very lazy and have had lots of sleeps but I am thinking that I might need to go out before bedtime.

So, because of all that, there isn't very much news except that I played with my string today and there was a box that I jumped in and out of lots of times and I made my MH a wee bit annoyed 'cos every time she tried to take a picture of me in the box, I jumped out again. Ooops

She never got a picture, but she got lots of other ones for you which I hope you like.
