Yes or No

That's what my poor old MH kept asking me in this morning an I kept telling her no, but then she finally said yes and went away and I was a wee bit very sad.

So, to make sense of all that. My MH had to go to Stromness in this afternoon but when we all got up this morning it was very, very cold and snow showers kept arriving on my little island and when the old dear saw these she said to me and my DH 'should I go or not?' and he said it was up to her to decide while I was shouting inside my adorable little self 'NO!!! Stay with me'


Then the snow stopped and the sun comed out but it was still very cold and the old dear finally decided that she would go to Stromness after all and told me to look after my house and my DH and oft she went. Sigh. We had a good afternoon but as soon as I heard the door opening I raced into the kitchen to see my MH coming back to me and I got a great big cuddle which made me very happy and I haven't left her side since. Hee hee

I was outside quite a lot but just for little times because it was so cold, but not as cold as peoples in America are having. I don't think I would like that and I hope that if any of my friends who read all about me live in America that they are OK. I will keep my paws crossed for you.


My humans are going shopping tomorrow so I have to be left in my house all by myself so I won't have any news for you but I hope you are all OK.

More Snow

But still not enough to let me have a really good play in it. There were little showers with snow in them and my grass turned all white but then the rain comed on and tooked all the snow away again and then some more snow arrived again. And it went like that for nearly all of the day.

I went outside quite a lot but just for very little times 'cos it was so cold. Like really, really, REALLY cold and I was frightened my adorable little feets would get stucked to the ground so I had to keep moving very fast and that made me a wee bit tired.

My DH has finished pulling the wallpaper off the walls and he said he might put new stuff on at the weekend but he needs a wee rest first and if the weather is not too bad, him and my MH might go shopping on Friday but the old dear says she is only going if it's not too slidey outside 'cos she doesn't want to fall down. Especially if I'm not there to help her up again!

I was nearly a little bit cross in this afternoon 'cos my MH was on her Wii machine and I was having a very lovely snooze and then suddenly I was grabbed so that she could get me weighed and that wakened me right up! I was not very happy but my little Wii Mii was really pleased with me 'cos I haven't put on any weight at all.

I am still purr-fect! But we all knew that, didn't we?

More Snow...

... but still not as much as I would like. The grass in my garden was a wee bit white but there wasn't enough snow for me to roll on or play in or do anything in really. Well, I could do a couple of things but I do not wish to be indelicate as they may be children reading this. Hee hee

I gobbled up my breakfast and shot out the window to have a wee play and my MH told me that I made her laugh 'cos when she looked out of the window and saw me standing on the grass, she said I was shaking my little back paws 'cos they were cold and she said I did look a wee bit funny. We both reckon I need boots but we say that every year when the frost and snow come, sure we do?

My humans were a bit busy as my DH is still pulling the wallpaper off the bathroom walls but he is nearly finished, and my MH was doing some housework s0 I was a wee bit neglected although I did get some cuddles when I complained about being ignored.


Oh yes, I know which buttons to press!

A Normal Monday

I have had a good day. It has been a normal day, and this little puss likes normal. I got a very pleasant surprise when I wakened up in this morning 'cos my garden was all white with snow. Yippee! As soon as my breakfast had filled up my adorable little tummy, I was off outside, but not for very long I'm afraid 'cos it was freezing cold. Like FREEZING!

I ran about for a wee while --- I had to keep moving in case I frozed to the ground, and that would have been tragic, sure it would? Even when I tried to get back in my window I had a wee bit of trouble 'cos there was a great big bit of ice all along my window sill but my MH saw this and knocked it all off so that I could get back in safely and not coldly, if you see what I mean.

My little weather man friend wasn't on my television tonight but he told his friend to tell me that there might be lots of snow on my little island tomorrow and I am just so excited. In fact, I think I will go to sleep now so that I will waken up very early in the tomorrow morning and I can be out playing in the snow even before the little birdies are wakened up. A brilliant plan, eh. Just one wee problem


Can I waken the Boss? Hmmmmmm :-))

Confused Puss

Sometimes I just do not understand my humans at all and this weekend has been one of those times. Remember I told you that last weekend some of friends comed to my house and tooked away our Rayburn stove and my MH was ok with that? Well, our kitchen is now a wee bit different but the week was just a normal one until yesterday when my DH started pulling all the paper off the bathroom walls.


I was sleeping on my couch and my MH was in her wee gym but when I heard a noise in my bathroom I decided to wander in and see what the old boy was doing and oh, my dear friends, when I saw the state of the place, I nearly fainted clean away! It was full of little bits of paper that one were earlier on the wall and the walls had no paper on them any more. My first thought was what the Boss was going to say and my second thought was what was she going to do to my DH!

I must say I was a bit worried when I heard her coming back inside my house but I followed her into the bathroom and was flabbergasted to see her smiling and telling him he had done a good job. Well, my flabber has never been so gasted but as usual the old dear explained it all to me.


She told me that she knows when I am worried or upset 'cos I put on a sad face and that makes her unhappy too so it seems that they have decided to put new wallpaper on my bathroom and my kitchen so all the old stuff has to come off first and that was the old boy's job. Phew!


I might need to lie down in a darkened room soon. Hee hee

Guess What?

It is nearly bed time and this adorable little puss hasn’t been outside all day! Now, those of you who know me well will know that this is an unusual occurrence and will probably want to know why. And of course I shall explain.

We all got up quite early in this morning because my humans wanted to go to Stromness to buy wallpaper for our bathroom and kitchen which means there is going to be more work being done in my house. Well, it wasn’t a very nice morning ‘cos it was a bit windy and wet and although my little head wanted me to go outside, my adorable little legs wouldn’t take me. Hee hee

And because of this naughty, not nice weather, my dear old MH couldn’t leave the window open for me. Big sigh. I sleeped for most of the time they were away and then I ran to meet them when they comed back to me again and I did consider going out but when I got to the door, the wind was even worse so I very quickly ran back into my living room and asked my MH to play with me and my toys which she did......for a long, long time. And it was brilliant!

The weather has just got worse so I have spent the evening on my MH’s knee and whether I ever get out tonight or not remains to be seen.

Happy

..Not me really, although I am nearly always happy, but today the happy one in my house in my MH 'cos the Sky man comed this morning to fix our television and that made my humans, but particularly my MH, very happy indeed.

A few weeks ago when we had that very bad wind our Sky box stopped working and that wasn't good at all but then my MH told me the Sky man was coming and we just had to be patient. When she told me at first I was a wee bit confused 'cos I thought there was a man coming from the sky and I was a wee bit scared too but then she explained and that was OK. And when the sky man comed in this morning, he was a very nice man so we are all happy.

There was another tiny drop of snow today but not enough to get excited by. My MH had to go to Stromness so it was just me and my DH in my house in this afternoon and we were fine, but I was very happy when she comed home again and I got big cuddles which made me very contented.


So we are all happy in my house tonight and I hope you are happy too.

Snow!

When we all got up in this morning it was so dark that I thought my humans had made a big mistake and wakened me up in the middle of my night time, but when I heard them talking about my DH going to the Cat Shop, I knew that it was the right time. But why was it so dark? We had to put the lights on in my living room and we never need to do that. And then I found out 'cos it started to snow!


Yippee! I was so excited. I couldn't drag myself away from the window as I watched it coming straight down onto the ground. Just little bits of snow at the beginning but then bigger and bigger bits and it was then I decided I needed to go out and feel this snow on my adorable little body. And I LOVED it millions!

When I comed back in I was a black and white speckled puss with rather cold feets, but I was very happy. But then the rain comed on and the snow all disappeared again and I was a wee bit sad again. My MH told me not to be sad 'cos she was sure there will be lots more snow sometime soon, so I will just need to be a patient puss.

But, oh, I can hardly wait!

Not Much News

I have decided that there is not too much news from me in the winter 'cos I am a wee bit lazy. It is too cold for me to be out playing for a long time and lots of my animal friends are in the barns so I don't have much company outside, but in the summer it is a lot different and sometimes my MH complains that she hardly sees me 'cos I am outside nearly all of the time.

I like being outside but I don't like being lonely so I am happier inside with my humans in the winter time and we had great fun again today when I helped my MH change the beds. Oh, my dear friends, you know it is my very favouritist game and my MH says she couldn't do it without me. I think that might be a wee exaggeration though, but we do have great fun and I get lots of cuddles and tickles and that makes me very, very happy indeed.


I am now having my snooze on my chair before I go out to play later on and then when I come in again, I will sit on my MH's knee when she has on her furry dressing gown and I just love that millions 'cos it is lovely and cosy and I am oh so very comfortable there.

I can hardly wait!

Squeak's Monday

I wakened up when my DH's alarm went off in this morning and watched as he got himself ready to go to the Cat Shop and then when he was ready, me and my MH got up. I had had a very good sleep and I was feeling full of beans so I bounded over to the window to see what the weather was doing, and I was very happy when I saw that it was quite a good day 'cos that meant that I could get out to play if I wanted to.

I ate up my breakfast and then asked my MH to please let me out, which she did, but I was back home again to purr cheerio to my DH as he went away to catch the boat and then I sat with the old dear and we worked out what our day was going to be like.

She told me she needed to do some hoovering and dusting, so I decided the bestest place for me was outside and so I tooked my adorable little self out into the field to have a chat with the sheeps that are there. There is a little sheep that wasn't feeling very well so I had a wee chat with it till the nice farmer man next door comed to see it, nd it was then that I decided to go home again and by this time the vacuum cleaner was all finished so my house was nice and quiet an I asked the old dear for a cuddle which I got and so I was very happy indeed.

So, that was my day really. In an out for little whiles and then inside for a seat with my MH and then we were all ready to see my DH when he comed home again. I have had my dinner and now I am lying on my chair on top of my MH's fleece and I am having a lovely sleep.


I will be here for a while and then I will have a couple more trips out before bedtime and I shall go and se the little sick sheep to see if she is a bit better now. I hope she is.

More of the Same

We have just had a normal Sunday in my house and that has suited me just fine. The weather wasn't too bad until after tea time when it started to rain and be a wee bit windy, but before that it was just cold so I was able to get out to play a couple of times.

I was a wee bit miffed when I was inside though, 'cos my MH was doing some more of her cat picture--which is nearly finished, by the way-- and usually when she is finished she sits on my couch and then I sit on her knee, but today she had lots of paperwork to do which meant there wasn't as much time for me as I wanted, but it is OK now 'cos I am in my usual spot as she is writing this to you and I am very happy indeed.


I don't have a lot of news for you 'cos I have been resting more than playing but I am a very happy little puss.

Peace and Quiet

I have had a very peaceful day with no hammering or banging and everything in my house has just been very normal, thank you very much! I had a good long sleep and some lovely dreams about hunting and chasing and I was in a very good humour when I wakened up.

There was a wee bit of excitement in my house in this afternoon when my DH catched another little mouse. He has discovered a little hole and he thinks it was left behind by the men that put in our oil and all the little mouses have founded it and have been coming into my kitchen and annoying me and my humans.

It has been a good day on my little island although a tad chilly for this adorable little Squeak but I have been out playing for quite a long time and I liked it lots. There are some sheeps in the field in front of my house so I have lots of company now when I go out, and that makes me very happy indeed.

So, this half of my weekend has been good and I hope the next half will be good too.

Dear Oh Dear

I don't know what my humans are up to at all, but the noise in my kitchen today has been awful and I have a little headache. I shall explain.


Remember I told you a wee while ago that we got all our 'lectric heaters taken away and oil ones put in and then my humans painted all my house? And then we had a little bit of peace and I thought everything was just fine... until today!

Two of our friends comed to my house and I was all excited thinking it would be cuddle time for me or even play time, but oh dear me, I was so very wrong 'cos they started hammering and banging and taking out the Rayburn cooker from my kitchen and what worried me even more was that my humans were happy with them doing that while I was all worried and a wee bit upset! My MH saw that I was not happy and so she explained that everything was fine and they were going to make my kitchen all nice again. Different, but nice, so I was a lot happier then.


The afternoon was noisy and messy but by teatime it was all finished and me and my humans are back to normal now with me on my MH's lap and my adorable little head on her laptop sending lots of lovely thoughts to you! I hope we all have a very good weekend.

What A Night!

Well, I might have been lonely all during yesterday day time, but there were LOTS of peoples in my house in the night time and I loved every single second of it all!

My MH had a meeting in my house and another five peoples came and they all think I am the bestest pussy cat ever--- and rightly so, I hear you yell. I got lots of cuddles and one of them found one of my toys and played with me for a long time but then I am afraid I sort of disrupted my MH's meeting when I decided to explore the inside of a carrier bag that one of them brought.

It was lying under my couch so it tooked me quite a while to get it out from there and then get it turned round to just the way I wanted it and then I tooked my adorable little self into the inside of it and sat looking out at everybody who by this time had stopped listening and even my MH had stopped what she was doing and everybody was watching me! I was adorable!


That was unanimous. Yippee!

More Cold

.…. and the snow is getting closer according to my little weather man friend. I keep looking out of my window for it but it hasn't come to me yet. Maybe tomorrow.

I have had a good day anyway being in and out a few times and I even went into the gym with my MH for a little while. I did a lot of sniffing and exploring while she made her little legs do a lot of exercises on her bike and her treadmill and then I had to make sure they got her home safely 'cos they were a wee bit tired after all that! Hee hee

We had some visitors to my house today and we all had a chat and I got some special cuddles which made me very happy but then I heard my MH telling them that she has to go to Kirkwall tomorrow and as my DH will be at the Cat Shop, I will be all alone in my house and that made me a wee bit not so happy but I know they will make a ginormous fuss of me when they come back to me.


And that will make me VERY happy indeed!

A Cold Day

Oh, it has been so cold on my little island. My poor old DH had to go away to the Cat Shop and he was very freezing cold when he comed back home to me tonight. My little weather man friend told me it might snow soon and it is cold enough says my humans so I am getting a wee bit excited.


I haven't seen an awful lot of snow 'cos it doesn't always come to my island but when it does I am happy 'cos I love playing in it when it is nice and soft and makes a crispy sound when I walk on it and then when my adorable little feets get too cold, I go inside and my MH cuddles them warm again and that is just the magicest feeling in the world.

I got a wee surprise today when my friend S. comed to see me in this afternoon. She was supposed to come yesterday but it was very wet and windy and she decided not to come out and I was a wee bit very disappointed but then I was really surprised when she comed into my house today and I got a great big cuddle which I just loved.


So, I have had another good day and I am now snoozing on my chair on top of my MH's fleece and I am as cosy as a little pie. A very adorable little pie, of course!

More of the same

Meaning I have had a good day but I haven't done very much at all. It hasn't been a very good day on my little island with wind and rain and at one point there was hail too so it was too cold for this adorable little puss to be outside for too long.


I shouldn't really complain though 'cos I saw on my television that in some places the snow has covered people's houses! Now, I love the snow and I like going out to play in it, but I would not like it to cover my house, thank you very much. How would I get out to play? And how would we feed all my little birdie friends? No, if we get some snow, I just want enough so that I can run in it and roll in it please.

I helped my MH with her pussycat picture and I am liking it very much. It has lots of lovely colours, but I am a wee bit worried she might want me to be the same colours as her picture. I think I will need to hide if I see her with the paint pots!

Not a lot of news

There's not very much happening on my little island just now but everything is fine just the same. It was wet and windy today so I didn't go out much at all. Instead, I stayed in my house and played with my MH which was very lovely.

Both my humans were with me today and because it was Saturday they didn't need to do any work so my house was nice and peaceful and my MH had lots of seats on my couch and that meant that I had lots of seats on her knee which makes me a very happy little Squeak.

So, although not very much is happening, I am still getting lots of cuddles and lots of exercise but inside my house where it is dry and cosy. So that will do me very fine indeed.

More Good

I have had another good day. It has been cold but that hasn't bothered me at all and I have been outside lots of times-----just for little whiles 'cos I am not too happy being cold but as you know, and there is always a brilliant warming up cuddle waiting for me when I decide to come home.

Both my humans were at home with me today and they just went out for a little time so that was very fine by me and when they comed home again my MH did some more of her picture and this time it is a multi coloured pussy cat and of course we will show it to you when she is finished. While she was doing this, I plonked my adorable little self on the back of my couch and watched her and she talked to me all the time which was brilliant.

After she was finished, she asked me if I wanted to go into the gym with her but I was too cosy and comfortable on the back of my couch so I said 'no thank you' and I just waited till she comed back again and then I gave her a big hug which made her very happy indeed.


So, it has been a very good day for all of us.

A Good Day

I have had a much better Thursday than my Wednesday 'cos yesterday I was left all alone while my MH went away to Kirkwall with her friend and my DH went to the Cat Shop. It wasn't windy but it was too cold for the old dear to leave the window open for me so I had no choice but to stay inside my house until they comed home to me.

I just rested and had a few wee nibbles at my biscuits and just waited very patiently until I heard my door opening and then I ran into the kitchen and waited---not so patiently---until I got a cuddle and then I was happy.

I sat and watched as my humans put away all their messages and then as soon as my MH sat on the couch, I jumped up onto her knee and couried in for more cuddles which I just loved. So my night time was much gooder than my day time and today has been good too 'cos both my humans have been at home with me and although they both had some work to do, there was lots of time for me.

And me and the old dear had the very bestest of fun when we changed all the beds and she really appreciated all my help, so that made me very happy indeed. Yes, a very good day. I hope you like my MH's bead picture of an owl. I think it is lovely.

Wowee!

What a wind that was yesterday and yesterday night! It was awful. Nearly the worsest wind I have ever seen and my poor old MH was very frightened 'cos she could see our living room windows were shaking like they have never shaked before. I did feel sorry for the old dear and I decided to go outside and ask the naughty wind to go away please.


I thought this might have helped but I am afraid it only maked her more worried 'cos she was frightened that something would happen to me. But it didn't and I was very ok. She did have to shout very loudly to get me in 'cos the wind was screaming so much I couldn't hear anything. But then she stucked her head outside and I scooted inside as quickly as possible. And then I got my cuddle!

I'm afraid I did this three or four times before I went to bed and my poor old MH was getting very worried but then the wind got a wee bit quieter and she was happy again. And so was me! I don't like it very much when it is roaring at me but sometimes I just have to go outside and last night was one of those nights.


Today has been better and when my humans went outside to have a look to see what the wind did, they were happy 'cos there was no damage so we were lucky again I am very pleased to say.


The old dear is going to Kirkwall tomorrow with her friend and my DH is going to the cat shop so yours truly will be all alone in my house but I shall just rest until my humans come back home to me and then it will be cuddle and play time.

Yippee!

A Nocturnal Adventure

What a day it has been! My little weather man friend was oh so right when he said there was going to be very bad wind on my little island. It has blowed all day and bits of my house have shooked and I didn't like it at all.

But I need to start at the beginning. I was having a very good sleep when my MH decided that she needed to get up so I had to get up with her and after I had a wee feed I thought I might like a wander round my garden and so I headed for the door. It was then that the old dear told me it was just half past two o'clock in this morning but I still wanted out and then when she thought that I might be stuck in all day, she decided to open the door and let me out. Yippee. I did promise not to be too long.... and I wasn't.

As soon as I arrived home again, we went to bed and snuggled up for a good sleep and when we wakened up again the wind was howling so me and my MH were happy that I had got out for a little while. My DH didn't get to the Cat Shop and my MH just did her normal housework but she didn't go outside. She played on her Wii for a while and I watched her while I was lying on my couch.


However, after dinner time I decided that I wanted out again and so we tried the door 'cos the wind made it impossible to open the window. My MH was frightened it would blow away if she tried to open it and I think she was maybe right! When we opened the door the wind screamed at us, but I girded all my adorable little loins and shot out of the door and under the bench where I sat for a while until I heard my MH screaming for me to come back in.


She wasn't screaming 'cos she was angry but that's the only way I could hear her on top of the wind. It is still blowing but supposed to go away in a wee while before bedtime and me and my humans are hoping it does 'cos we have had enough thank you very much!

A Lazy Day

I have been outside playing lots of times today 'cos although it is still cold in my garden, it was dry and calm so I decided to get as much exercise as I could 'cos my MH has been complaining that my adorable little claws are getting very sharp so I need to make them better for her.

We have all been in my house today except for a little while when my DH went to the pier and my MH went to take down the Christmas tree from the waiting room, so I played in my garden until they comed home to me and then we had a wee play together before we went back inside and it was when we were inside that we all got a big , not very good, surprise 'cos my little weather man friend told us that there was going to be a very bad wind tomorrow. In fact it has to be a gale type wind that could blow me away if I go outside at the wrong time!

Oh dear. My DH was not best pleased, I can tell you 'cos it means he can't get to the Cat Shop and he is disappointed. My MH isn't happy 'cos she doesn't like the wind but at least she wasn't going any place which is just as well 'cos if it is as bad as the weather man thinks, then the boat won't be able to come to see us. Shame!

I think I will have to entertain them in my house and I will let you know how we all get on.

Still Good

…. although my Christmas tree and all my decorations are back in their box and up in the loft till next time and my house isn't just as sparkly now but it will be fine and I will get used to it again. I did try to have a wee climb up the middle of the tree once my MH had taken off all the wee baubles, but I am afraid the Boss caught me right in mid leap and with a very stern 'No, Squeak!' she ruined all my fun. Shame!

My friend S. was back in my house again today. She said it was because she forgot to give my MH something, but I know she just wanted to see me and I made her go all teary eyed when we were all sitting chatting and I cuddled up on my MH's knee and snuggled into her for a little nap and S. thought I looked so beautiful and I for one am not arguing with her. She even got annoyed with my MH when she had to put me on the couch to get up for something and my friend said she would NEVER do that to me, she would sit there forever! I shall keep that in mind.

We are all having a very lazy weekend 'cos I heard the humans saying that everything goes back to normal again on Monday so this is the end of the holiday time but it has been good and we have all had a lovely time.


I hope you have had a very good time too.

Another Good Day

I am liking this holiday time but I heard my humans saying that they are going to take down my Christmas tree and all the decorations tomorrow so I think that means that the holiday time is nearly finished and I am a wee bit sad at that.

It is very cold on my island but at least it is dry and calm so I have been able to get out to play lots of times but just for a wee while at a time and then I had to rush back home for a warm up cuddle which always makes me happy as well as warm.


I have played with my humans lots today and then I got a surprise when my friend S. comed to see us all and she brought a wee pussy cat toy for me which I have loved playing with. It is a furry mouse and it lights up when I touch it and I like it lots and lots so I am having good fun.

And talking of mouses. There was a real one in my house last night! My MH had to get up through the night time so she comed to see where I was and she got a very big surprise when she founded me 'cos I was in the kitchen looking up at the top of the units where there was a little mouse sitting on the top of the unit looking down at me. Hee hee It's not in my house any more 'cos my DH catched it and put it away outside so it won't be watching me any more.


So, my day has been another very good one.

Happy New Year

Happy New Year everyone. I hope you have all had a lovely time and me and my humans hope that 2019 will be a very good year for everyone.

I have had a very good time for most of the time. Some of the times my humans have been away out and left me alone but then lots of other times peoples have been to my house and I had lots of knees to sit on. I was a very happy puss indeed.

The weather has been quite good on my little island so I have been able to get out to play lots of times and that has been good too. So the start of my new year has been good and although I don't have very much news I am very happy indeed.


Long may it last!
