I'm Tired

I have been such a busy pussy cat today and now I am  very tired  and I am enjoying a little rest on my couch before I go out to play later on---if I have the energy.

                     

Now, I know you will be wondering what I have been up to that has made me so tired, but when I tell you, it probably won't sound a lot, but to a little animal like me, it is------ a big lot!

I wakened very early this morning---about six o'clock and I was full of energy, so I very gently wakened my MH and asked her to please give me a wee feed 'cos I wanted to go outside, and, being a very obedient MH, she did just that. I think she works on a battery in the morning 'cos her eyes don't open and she goes straight to my cupboard, opens my packet of food and puts it in my dish and then goes straight back to bed and she does it all like a robot, not like my MH at all. It does make me giggle, but she never sees me!

It was a good morning so I stayed out for a long, long time and I ran in the long grass  and chased everything I could see and I even imagined I was chasing and killing great big fierce animals and it was just the brilliantest fun ever. Even the little birdies stopped and watched me and I think they like seeing what I was doing.

When I went back in, my humans were up and it was my REAL MH who was there and I heard them mentioning the awful lawn mower word. It appears that it is that time of year again when the lawn mower needs to be out, but I was in such a good mood this morning that I didn't want anything to spoil it, so I  did my little rain dance. Well, it has been quite a while since I did this, and I must be a bit rusty 'cos I missed out a few steps and I didn't make rain, but I did make a lot of mist and that made the grass wet so the lawn mower stayed in the shed. Yippee! I apologise to everyone living in Orkney and Shetland 'cos I seem to have been a bit over enthusiastic with my dance and my little weather man friend said on the news tonight that it had been very foggy all over Orkney and Shetland. Oops! I don't think I should tell him it was me, eh?

I stayed out all afternoon and played and hunted and ran and jumped and I have just had a fantastic time, but when I came home for my dinner, I suddenly got tired and I had to have a big long snooze.

The mist has finally gone and the sun is shining so after I am well and truly rested I shall go outside again and my MH says she will leave the window open for me to come home whenever I feel like it.

Oh I am such a happy and such a lucky pussy cat. I am sure I will have a magic evening and I will keep all the birdies and mouses amused for hours and hours.

Cuddle Time

My MH was away to Kirkwall today and as usual left me and my DH a big list of things to do which we completed to perfection!

I was in and out of my house a lot today 'cos I have been looking at new hiding places for the summer so I needed to do quite a lot of research and that involved finding the right spot, lying down on it and working out if I could see everything that I wanted to see. I think this project will take a few days, but I have the time and the patience. Just part of the package that is 'Squeak'.

I was outside when the Boss arrived home, so I jumped in through my living room window and raced through to the kitchen just in time to see her come through the door. I got a great big cuddle and a tummy tickle and I gave her my special purr which she loves.

Now 'cos my MH had to be up early and 'cos she had to walk a lot today, she was tired when she came home and her wee legs were sore so she decided to have  a rest before our dinner and I went with her and cuddled right up close to her and purred till she went to sleep and she loved that.

                                 

Later on, I went out to play and I was out for a long, long time and my humans were a wee bit anxious about me especially as it was raining, so my DH was sent out to look for me and just as he was searching, my MH looked out of the window and saw me lying under my pampas grass all nice and dry and cosy.  Pity she hadn't done this before she sent the poor old soul out in the rain!

Then came one of the best bits of my day 'cos my MH went on to her computer and there was a message for me from all my paw-pals and I got really excited when she was telling me all about these pussy cats----and there are LOTS of them---- who live very, very far away, but write to me and let me know what they get up to.

I love hearing all about them and they like my stories too, so I am a very happy pussy cat tonight, and I hope you are happy too.

Not Doing Much

I have been quite happily just doing very little today and my humans have been the same.

We did a wee bit of tidying up in our greenhouse and I helped my DH water our peppers but there is still nothing for me to play with yet. I am looking forward to getting my tomatoes and mushrooms. I will tell you as soon as they arrive.

I made sure my DH was OK and then I took my MH into the gym where she did some walking on her big machine and I did a lot of sniffing. I played with my own special bit of pampas grass, but I have taken all the feathers off it, so I suppose it is now just a pampas stick! Hee hee.

 Later on, we played on the grass when she was finished her walking and I ran round my garden showing off a wee bit and then I had a wee rest and a big think. I was just wondering what mischief I could get up to without getting into too much trouble and my MH says you can almost hear my wheels turning in this picture.

                               

Question. Where are my wheels? I have looked and looked but I can't see any. I shall have to admit defeat and ask the wise one! Hee hee :))

My friend S. came to see me again and I liked that 'cos she always lifts me up and tickles me, but I made her laugh when I sniffed at all her fingers 'cos I could smell her pussy cat. I sniffed for a long time and I wouldn't let her get her hand back until I was well and truly finished. She nearly couldn't drink her coffee or eat her cake and those of you who know my friend will know that you take your life in your hands if you come between her and cake or chocolate, so I suppose I am quite lucky to be able to tell you my story.

I am sure I will have lots more to tell you soon.

Practising

I am still doing my ladder training just in case I get the call from the Fire Brigade to say they would love to have a pussy cat mascot.

Because the weather is back to being not very nice again, my DH brought the ladder back inside and put it in my big cupboard, so I have been running up and down it until my adorable little paws are quite sore. I will soon have as many muscles on my little legs as my MH does! The poor old dear is still doing her exercises and some of them mean that she has to lift her leg off the bed and hold it in mid-air for what seems forever, and I don't think I helped much when I tried to sit on the leg as it was dangling just above the bed. I did think my MH spoke to me in a very funny voice as she told me to get off! I was only trying to help. :(

We went into the gym for a while and again I had a good wee giggle 'cos just as we turned the corner at the house, the wind saw us coming and blowed really, really hard and my MH took off over the grass at a great speed of knots, I can tell you. I stayed where I was 'cos I am a bit nearer the ground than she is and I have four little feets where she only has two and that makes a great big difference. But oh boy, she did look funny, but I made sure she didn't see me smiling. That would have been unkind! :))))

When she had finished we played on the grass 'cos the wind was away tormenting somebody else but it was quite cold, so after I had posed for this picture, I went back inside to play on my ladder and then to have a snooze on my couch.

                                    

I like my weekends and I hope you like yours too.

Down to Earth

I have had a fairly normal day today and my four little feets have stayed firmly on the ground 'cos my DH has moved the ladder, so I can only climb up the clothes poles.

When I was telling all my little mouse friends about me being up the ladder, I had a brilliant idea. Mind you, I think ALL my ideas are brilliant! Anyway, I am going to write to the fire station in Stromness to see if they want a pussycat mascot and I could climb ladders every day! Isn't that brilliant? I might even get a wee uniform and a hat with space for my adorable little lugs to stick through. I can picture it already and oh dear reader, I do look rather fetching.

It was just me and my MH in my house today 'cos my DH was away helping out at the Cat's shop, so we did lots of things together which we both like. We didn't go into the gym but we did the rest of her exercises and then we played for a while in the garden and I sat on the benches 'cos I still like them.
I ran round and round and I pounced on all the daisies and pretended I was hunting and I had a simply brilliant time.

                                

 

 

Then I went for a wee snooze and wakened up when my friend came in to see me and I went and sat on her knee and gave her a special purr. I tried to tell her about my fireman idea but she doesn't understand me like my MH does so I gave up. My MH will tell her if it all works out and I see no reason at all why it shouldn't.

Do you?

Highs and Lows

That's what my day has had---highs and lows. Lots of highs and just a teeny weeny low, so it has been another good day for this puss.

The 'low' came at the start of my day so I had plenty of time to recover and oh boy, how I recovered. Magic! If you are sitting comfortably, then I shall tell you all about it.

I was sitting on the table at my kitchen window this morning just wondering what I was going to do with my dear little self, when I noticed my MH creeping up on me and nodding to my DH, but I am afraid I was too slow and I got 'de-wormed'! The awful stuff got put on the back of my little neck before I could escape, so I shall have to learn to be a lot quicker in future.

A wee  while later, my DH said he was going outside to fix the roof on our greenhouse, so I gave him a wee while to himself and then I wandered out to see what he was doing. He wasn't there, but his ladder was! It was all alone leaning against our greenhouse. So, what would any normal, but adorable pussycat do in these circumstances?

                                     

This is how high up I was!

Yep. You got it in one! I looked to the right---no-one there. I looked to the left---no-one there, so I shot up the ladder and jumped onto the roof. Boy, it was brilliant. I had never been up there before and the view was brilliant plus there were millions of new smells for me to sniff at so I was in my glory.

I wandered all over the roof just watching and sniffing and purring and then I heard my DH coming back up his ladder, so I ran back to say hello to him, but I forgot that he didn't know I was up there and when he reached the top of his ladder and saw me on the roof saying 'Hello DH!' he nearly falled back off his ladder. Oops, sorry DH.

He carried me down the ladder----I think he was pretending he was a fireman :))---- and went and told my MH what I had been up to (literally) and we all had a laugh and 'cos I was still buzzing with excitement, I climbed up on my clothes poles and sat thinking for a long, long time.

                  

So, I have had a brilliant day and I will have lots to tell the little mouses when I go out to play tonight.

I wonder where the ladder is? Hee hee

Not Much News

 I have been a very lazy puss today and have not done very much at all.

My DH was away to the Cats shop in Stromness where he was working very hard. Well, that's what he was telling us a wee while ago! Me and my MH just listen  and agree with him.

My MH was out for nearly the whole day and just came back to see me for a short while, so I have been left on my own a lot today. I am OK when I am on my own 'cos I have my games that I can play with if I want, but I generally just have a snooze till one of my humans comes home and then we have a play together. That's the best kind of play for me 'cos I just love company.

                                

The weather is still quite windy and my dear old MH told me that she nearly got blowed off her little feets when she was out today. Oh, that is a shame. I gave her a special cuddle when she told me that and I purred extra loud so she liked that.

So, because I don't have much news at all for you today, I have sent you two pictures of yours truly which I hope you will like. I think I look beautiful, but then, I am just a wee bit biased!
