Squeak-amint



Here is my latest hiding place. I am resting in the wee clump of mint at the front of my house and I am smelling beautiful!

It has been a glorious day today with warm sunshine and we have all been in the garden all day just playing and resting and I have just loved it. When I got a wee bit too hot, I just found a shaded corner and had a wee cool down, and the best place I found was in the mint, so that's where I stayed and of course, I had to have my picture taken.

I got lots of pictures taken as I was chasing flies and my humans were laughing at the shapes I got into 'cos I was running on my back legs and trying to catch flies with my front paws and my humans said it did look funny. Perhaps it did.

I hope it is warm tomorrow!

Sabotage!



I have finally worked out how to stop the dreaded lawn mower. Sit in the grass box when the boss isn't looking! It worked a treat.

It hasn't been a great day weather-wise, but the humans are going on holiday soon and they decided to cut the grass as it was quite dry. So I went out to supervise as usual, and also to complain. I still do not like that mower, but I came up with a cunning plan which was to sit inside the grass box when my DH had taken it off for a minute, and it worked perfectly until my MH rattled my dinner dish and then I was inside like a flash and my DH finished cutting the grass. But I have learned a lesson for the future.

My humans are going away for a few weeks and I am being left at home, but my friend A. is coming to stay with me and my MH's two friends are appointed as tummy-ticklers so I shall not be neglected. I just hope A. is a quick learner. The humans were just beginning to get things right and I am afraid that their training will need to begin again when they come back, but I need to work on A. first. Ho hum!

I shall let you know how I get on.

Still Snoozing



I went out late last night and I played in the dark and I just LOVED it. I think I am going to be a night time puss-cat 'cos I didn't come home till two o'clock in the morning.

Although my MH goes to bed early, my DH does not and so he stayed up and waited for me to come home 'cos if he leaves the window open when the light is on, then my house gets filled with moths and daddy-long-legs and other stuff that my MH does not like, so he had to open the window for me. I had a wee feed and then nipped into bed and had a sleep.

However, my MH had to go away on the boat this morning, so I wakened quite early to help her with the breakfast and I was still a wee bit sleepy, so I just went outside for a wee while, and when she came back at dinner time, we both had a wee snooze and now we are both fine again.

I think I might go outside again tonight, but maybe I will come home a wee bit earlier. I shall see how I feel!

Monday Blues



I have had quite a varied weekend between one thing and another and now I am a wee bit tired and as it is raining outside, I have decided to have a lazy day.

I had a wee while out in my garden and my MH took my picture through the glass, so that is today's picture for you,

Then I did a wee bit of farm work with my DH. When I say farm work, I just went with him to see that he did everything right. The nice farmer next door---the one with the big shed with the open door and lots of places for kittens to explore---has put his mummy cows and baby cows in the field opposite my house and when he does that, my humans keep them supplied with water and so I have to go with them. After I did that, I curled up on my favourite chair and snoozed.

If it dries up tonight I might go out exploring. I shall see how I feel later.

At One With Nature



I have been out taking in all the fresh air today and some of my little people friends came over to see me.

I watched them from a distance 'cos I am not used to children yet so I watched them from under my bed---just in case!

But when they went away again, I went outside and played on my grass with the flies and the daisies and it was good fun. I don't have many pictures to choose from today but I am sure you will like this one---I think I look rather lovely in it!

Nothin' Doing



I am not doing very much at all today 'cos it is very windy and quite wet. I nipped outside for a wee while, but have decided that I will just curl up in my favourite chair and dream of hunting and stuff.

I had my fish last night and it was DE-LIC-IOUS! I just got a wee bit but I am sure I could have eaten a whole lot more, but the humans did that, and they enjoyed it too. There is more in the freezer so roll on the next fish day.

I think fish is going to be my favourite meal. Maybe I could go down to the beach and catch my own?

Now there's a thought!

Another Fishy Tale




Remember I told you that I had tasted REAL fish? Well, I hadn't seen it till it was on my dinner plate and I just know that it tasted wonderful, but yesterday night I got a BIG surprise 'cos I saw it!!

My daddy human's friend had been out fishing in his little boat and he brought me back some fish. It was all for me, he said, although I will give my humans some -----maybe!

There is some mackerel and a pollock, I think, but I haven't learned all the names of the fishes yet, so it might not be that. Anyway, it was put in the sink in my utility room and of course, I had to go and have a look, and boy was I surprised. It looks very different when it's not on my plate. My DH cut it all up and put some in the fridge for dinner tonight so I can't wait.

I have decided that I am staying indoors this afternoon, in case they start to eat it without me, and in order to pass the time, I am having a snooze. I keep opening one perfect little eye to look at the clock, but it is still not nearly dinner time.

What a long time to wait. I can hardly sleep for excitement!
