Sleepy Squeak

I have been and an out a lot today, but I am afraid that the weather spoiled my plans as well as my MH's. The old dear got up this morning with me and we were both delighted to see the sun was shining, so as we were having our breakfast, we worked out what we would do with the day. My list was very short----PLAY, but my MH's was a bit longer and involved the washing machine and the lawn mower. I was OK with that, 'cos I can keep well out of the mower's way, but I still get to play outside with my humans, so there is an advantage to getting the grass cut.

So, the washing machine was gurgling away quite happy, the sun was still shining so the old dear nipped into back door of the gym and brought out the lawn mower and I sat on the path and waited for her to finish. Well, the poor old thing got round one bit of the grass three times when a great big black cloud appeared and suddenly dropped all its rain on her---and me! Oh dear, we were not best pleased at all and the lawn mower had to get taken back into its wee house, while we had to go indoors and get dried again. Shame.

After a while the rain went off, but by this time the grass was too wet to cut, so it will need to wait till another day. Yippee! I was able to get out to play a lot of times and at one point I was out so long that my humans were worried about me, but just as they were going to come and look for me, I jumped in the window, and that made them happy again.

It looks as though it might be quite a nice evening, so I will have my after dinner nap and then I shall see what the outside is like and I may take my adorable little self out into the fields to see how all my little animal friends are keeping.

My little life might not sound very exciting, but it makes me very happy and I am now into a very lovely routine which involves sleeping, playing, talking to sheeps and cows, feeding and getting lots and lots of cuddles and tummy tickles, so I am quite happy with contentment rather than a lot of excitement.

I hope you are happy too.

Playtime

....for this little puss. I stayed out very late last night as I was having such good fun and the weather was being good so the window could be left open for me. At one point the rain came on, so I went home for a wee while and snuggled up beside my MH who was snoring her little head off, but after I had a little cat nap, I went out again for another big long play and when my MH wakened up this morning, she couldn't find me and looked all over the house and finally she saw me sound asleep on the ottoman on top of her big furry dressing gown. Oh, I was so comfortable.

Me and my humans have been in and out a lot today and I have also had lots of seats on my MH's knee 'cos she didn't go out too much although we did go into the gym for a while and I sat on the chair and watched her doing all her exercises. I heard her telling my friend S. that she might cut the grass tomorrow, so I can watch her while she runs all over the garden with the lawn mower. It doesn't frighten me any more, although I don't get too close to it, in case I get an unwanted hair cut. And that would never do!

We have all had our dinner and I am having my early evening rest while my humans are watching my television, but I shall be heading outside in a wee while to do my usual evening visits.

Oh I do like being a pussy cat!

A Happy Day

Me and my MH have been quite happy on our own today as my DH was at the Cat shop and 'cos my MH didn't have much work to do, she had plenty of time to play with me and that just makes me the happiest little puss ever.

We had a long sit on my couch when we got up and decided what we were going to do with our day and then, since the weather was so good, we went for a walk round the garden and I ran and played on the grass and my MH threw bits of pampas grass up in the air for me to jump up and catch and then I killed them dead! Oh,I did have very good fun.

The sun had made my path lovely and warm so I have lots of rolls on it today and I do like this little picture of me 'cos you can see my little shadow as well and my adorable little wagger is there too.

I have been in the field having a chat to the little baby cows and that was good fun as well and my MH is so pleased with herself that she managed to get these two pictures of me as I dived through my fence. I just love these pictures and I hope you do too.

I am resting now 'cos I know I will be staying out very late tonight. The weather is still good and I have lots of sheeps and cows to talk to and I know that I will be able to stay out as long as I want 'cos my humans can leave the window open for me.

I do love the summer nights and I hope we have lots and lots of them.

Normal service.....

.... has been resumed Chez Squeak, I am very pleased to tell you. My MH was very busy yesterday 'cos she and my friend S. were organising a games night in our wee Hall to raise some money for the Lifeboats 'cos they help the peoples on my little island sometimes and they wanted to say 'thank you'.

So this meant that this adorable little puss cat was a wee bit neglected yesterday 'cos my MH was out nearly all day, and both my humans were out all night so I was all alone. However, I was promised some undivided attention today and that has made me very happy again and I have had a very good time today.

It started off with me and my MH changing the beds and I played one of my very favourite games hiding under the duvet while she pretended to look for me. I just love that game and we play it lots while my DH just shakes his head at us! Then a wee while later, we went into the garden while she hanged out her washing and I climbed all the poles and ran round and round until I was quite tired so I went inside with my MH.

Now, one of the good results from her being out all day yesterday and last night is that the poor old dear is quite tired tonight. I know that doesn't sound good, but it means that when she has been working today, she has needed lots of wee rests so she sits down, and guess what I do? Yep, I sit on her knee and let her stroke me and that makes us both extremely happy.

Our afternoon ended with a wee bit of ironing by my MH and I did a wee bit of climbing in my utility room and I ended up very high in one of the little baskets where my humans keep old padded envelopes and I was so comfortable up there that I had a great big sleep while the Boss was ironing. I will definitely go there again.

Just before dinner time I took my MH into our greenhouse to show her all the wee plants and she thought that my little pepper was just wonderful and she gave me a great big cuddle for looking after it so well.

So you can see, normal service has been well and truly resumed!

A Funny Day

Not funny laughing, but funny odd. Me and my MH were up very early this morning 'cos the old dear had to go away on the first boat to see the dentist. It wasn't anything serious, so don't worry. The tooth doctor just wanted to see her again and she got on fine.

I helped my DH in our greenhouse and my little pepper is still doing extremely well and my DH still doesn't know why! It was a lovely morning so I was outside all the time and then I saw my MH coming home again and I ran to meet her and gave her a great big purr and she lifted me up and cuddled me for a long time and it was oh so lovely.

We had a seat for a while and she told me what she had been doing and then I tooked her into the greenhouse to see my little plant and she was very impressed. She showed me these pictures she tooked this morning when she was on the way to the boat 'cos it was very calm and she though you might like to see the bit of my island that looks down Scapa Flow to Hoy and then to Flotta and the other one is of our boat that comes every day to my little island.

In the afternoon, she made some cakes for me and my DH and then she played with her lawn mower and she just got finished when the rain came on, so she was very, very pleased with her dear old self. Bless!

I sat on my MH's knee last night and we watched the programme about cats which was very good. It told the whole world just how special us pussy cats are, but it didn't give away any of our secrets which suited me just fine. I don't mind if everybody thinks we are the greatest things on four feet, but we still need to be mysterious, sure we do?

Pussy cats of the world unite, and Squeak for puss-in-chief!!

Lots of Company

My only problem today is whether to go to the field at the front of my house and talk to the sheeps, or go into the field at the back of my house and play with the mummy cows and the baby cows and now that he has a lot of company, Mr. Grumpy bull is much happier and doesn't growl all the time, so he wouldn't mind me being in the field with him and all his family.

I have had a good day and have been able to nip in and out to my little heart's content and you know that always makes for a very happy Squeak. My MH was away out with the ladies doing their crafty work so me and my DH had a quiet seat in our living room until she came home again, and she just came back in time to get her washing in off the rope before the rain started. I watched her from my porch and purred encouragement. Well, there was no point in getting my adorable little self wet, was there?

I had a seat on my MH's knee while she checked all her emails on her computer and I got a very pleasant surprise when she read out a message to me from my friend J. and there was a new paw pal for me. Oh I was so excited. I just love getting a new paw pal and J. sends me pictures of them as well so that I can see what they all look like and some are very beautiful, but I don't think they are adorable like I am. Just beautiful!

So I have had a good Monday, but I don't know if I will be going outside again tonight 'cos it has been raining quite hard and the grass will be all wet and I don't like it when it makes my little tummy wet, so I might just stay in.

There is a programme that me and my MH want to see tonight and it is all about cats and it tells the world all our secrets so I need to make sure they don't give too much away. I am not convinced it is a good idea as us cats are supposed to be mysterious and if everybody and his brother knows all about what makes us tick, then there won't be much mystery left, will there?

I shall watch and see and then decide my next move.

A Much Better Day

I have been feeling a lot better today and a lot more like my old self which means I have been going out to play again and that always makes me happy.

We all had our usual lazy Sunday just doing all the wee things that we like doing and I just dotted in and out making sure my humans were still beside me and that they were OK which they were. My MH went out for a wee while but she was soon back home beside me and then I got my usual visit from my friend S. who is always delighted to see me, and I love to see her too. And today she had a special surprise for me and my MH 'cos she brought along her little friend Sergei the meerkat to meet us. Now, just in case you are wondering, Sergei isn't REAL, he is a toy type thingy and if you watch your television you will see him lots of times. He is very cute, but not adorable, like me---naturally---but I had a wee sniff at him and I liked him and I know he liked me too.

My friend S. also gave me a message from Buttons who is her pussy cat and older and wiser than I am and Buttons told me that if the swallows annoy me again I have to catch them and eat them! I appreciate her advice, but I don't think I could do that 'cos it is just not in my nature, but if they make me angry enough then I might just do it! Buttons would be so proud of me then, wouldn't she?

It is siesta time for me now and then I shall do my usual hunting and playing later on before settling down beside my MH for a good night's sleep.
