Going Round in Circles

That's what I have been doing today. It is still very windy on my little island and there has been a lot of rain too, so it has not been a good day for this little puss.

I did manage to get outside for a little play last night but between you and me, dear friends, it wasn't very pleasant and I didn't really enjoy it, so I decided that I would be warmer and happier snuggled up beside my MH in our little bed. Two minutes later that's just where I was and five minutes later we were both snoring. Oh, Bliss!

It wasn't much better this morning, but a puss has to do what a puss has to do and although I have a litter tray, I need the fresh air in these adorable little lungs and so I asked if I could please go out the window and the old dear duly obliged. Well, my take off point was just outside my living room window, but my landing point was nearly on Hoy! Boy, that wind was strong and I was nearly flying, but I landed safely and very quickly headed back to shelter under this big plant where I was safe from the wind.

I didn't stay out long and managed to jump back up on the window sill while the wind was breathing in, and I have been watching out of my window all day for it to have a wee rest. Every now and then I would go out of my door, have a wee sniff at the air and then run round my house and go in through the window and I did this quite a lot of times, so I really have been going round in circles.

I think the wind has to go away somewhere else later on tonight so I am looking forward to getting outside for a longer time, but it will just depend on when it stops blowing on me.

Windy, windy, windy

Well, he is not often wrong, but my little weather man friend was very right again when he said it would be windy on my little island today. We have been in my house nearly all day 'cos it has been so wet and windy. My DH went out to finish bringing in all our little ornaments, but he wasn't able to go to the Cat shop in case the boat wouldn't bring him home in the afternoon, and my MH hasn't been outside at all. She is frightened she gets blowed over 'cos that happened to her last week and she landed on the grass but she didn't hurt herself. She just got a bit of a fright.

I slept for most of the afternoon, but I made my MH laugh a lot when I got up 'cos I ran about my living room asking her to play with me and I haven't done that for a long time. Fortunately, she remembered what to do so we played for a long time on my carpet and I used up some of my energy, but I am hoping that I will be able to go outside for a long play later on.

I have a lot of energy that needs using up and I did try to venture out a couple of times this evening. I am afraid I was beginning to upset the old dear 'cos when she was making the dinner, I kept asking her to open the door for me, so she had to stop what she was doing and go to the door, but when she opened it I just sniffed at the wind and ran back into my living room. Well, after the third---or maybe the fourth---time, she sort of helped me out with a very gentle push, but by the time she had got the door shut and had moved to the cooker, I was back at the window asking to be let in again---quickly!

So I haven't had nearly enough exercise and if I don't get out later on, I won't be able to sleep, and if I can't sleep I am afraid my MH won't be sleeping either and that is not good news at all.

Please, little weather man friend, turn the wind down a wee bit. Just for me --- and my MH. Pretty please :-))

Still Climbing

Oh, I just love being up high, and I did some more climbing this morning while my MH was hanging her washing up on the pulley in my utility room. I knew it would be fine with the old dear, 'cos I can't do too much damage there.

We have lots of wee basket type things which stack up quite high and my humans keep big envelopes and jiffy bags in them and that sits up beside the freezer on top of a wee filing cabinet, so it is quite high. So, in order to reach it, I jump up on the little freezer, then up another jump on top of the big freezer and then a great big jump to the top of the little basket and there I sit and look down on the world. I do like up there and it is nice and soft on top of the jiffy bags, but I have to be careful that I don't stretch over to the pulley or my MH will wheech me right up to the ceiling and I don't think I would like to be that high.

Remember I told you that I was watching the little birdies yesterday? Well, I did it again today and my MH tooked this picture of me watching them from my window sill and as we were watching, we saw two little birdies having a wee argument and that made us both smile so I asked my MH to let you see it in the hope that it will make you smile too.

My friend S. came to see me today and she gave me a special cuddle 'cos she was pleased to see me and I gave her a special purr 'cos I was pleased to see her . When she went away, I went out into my garden for a while and I helped my DH bring in all our little ornaments because my little weather man friend says it is going to be very windy on my island and we didn't want all the little ornaments to blow away. My humans don't like it when all the nice little things have to go inside 'cos it means that the summer is over and the winter is getting very near.

However, I am a very intrepid little puss as you know, and I shall be going out to wander around my estate no matter what the weather is doing, but I will try and come home at a decent hour and not upset the old folk too much! Sometimes my kindness and goodness and adorableness just takes my breath away!

I have just had another look at this photograph and it looks as though I am doing something I shouldn't be, but I am just sitting on a little stone. Honest. Hee hee

Mountaineering Moggy

Guess who that is? Yes! Me, Squeak.

Remember I told you yesterday that I had perfected a flying leap from the middle of the step ladders into the the lovely soft towels and I sat there all soft and cuddly just like them? Well, today I was still feeling very fit and I gave another one of my death-defying leaps, but this time it was a vertical jump from a standing position and I landed on top of my living room cabinet where I sat with the ornaments and I was just as beautiful, delicate and adorable as them. Oops, my modesty is showing again! Hee hee

My MH wasn't best pleased with me, but she just left me there until I was ready to come down under my own steam. I think she has accepted that if she lets me do that, then I don't break anything. Maybe I should have taken the cake out of its tin!! Sorry DH.

However, I think that I should keep my adorable little paws on the floor for the next few days or my next transformation might be into a pot of soup! Mind you, having said that, I think I would be a kind of soup that you have never tasted before---perfect!

It has been a lot wet on my little island, but I have still been outside quite a bit today and I sat under the bird feeder while all the little birdies were having their dinner and they weren't frightened of me, although that might have been because I was sort of hiding from them in the hope that one might fall off its perch and then I could be a very kind puss and put it back again.

And if you believe that, then the moon really is made of cheese!

If you look very closely at today's picture, and if you can tear your eyes away from yours truly, you will see my DH at the far right of the photograph when he won his teapot on Countdown long ago before I was even a twinkle in their eye. I think he is a very clever DH and maybe I will tell him that some day. Maybe!

A Better Day

We have had a better day today and my poor old MH is feeling a bit happier now, although she did have to get up in the middle of the night to go to our Post Office again, so I was out playing when it was still dark. It was a bit windy and just when I had finished playing, the rain came on very hard, so I had to run home and bang on the door to ask the old dear to let me in again. Which she did of course.

She went away, so I snuggled up beside my DH and we had another snooze till she came home again. My DH liked it when I cooried in beside him, 'cos I don't usually do that. You all know that I love my DH, but I am my MH's pussy cat and I always sit with her or cuddle up beside her, and I think I might have been neglecting the old boy a bit, so I shall have to be a bit fairer with my affections from now on. Can you believe how wise and mature I have become?

Before you answer that question, have a look at today's picture and you will see Squeak the kitten-cat and not Squeak the growed up cat! Hee hee. My MH was putting the towels away this afternoon, and I was lying on my couch, but when I heard the cupboard door opening, I rushed in to the kitchen, galloped up the step ladder, flew over my MH's head and landed with a delightful soft 'plop' on top of a pile of towels, and I stayed there just long enough for her to take this picture just for you. Adorable, is it not?

I have been in and out quite a lot today, but it has been a bit windy although it didn't last too long and I was able to go hunting through my fields and into the big shed which the nice farmer man next door has left open for me again. I just love going in to the shed and sniffing and exploring 'cos there is always something new for me to find.

I am having my little sleep now, but I shall be going there later on tonight and I intend staying out as late as I possibly can. I am sure I will have the bestest of fun.

A Dis-aster Dahling

I hope that sounded like Craig Revel Whats-is-name from Strictly, 'cos I tried very hard to get it right. Hee hee

I shouldn't laugh really 'cos it was very sad and I think I need to explain. Remember I told you my MH was making a cake yesterday? Well, she did and it smelled so very good when she tooked it out of the oven to cool, and I was a very good puss and didn't go near it at all. I just lay on my couch and sniffed lovely sniffs. But after a while, disaster struck 'cos my humans were taking the cake out of the tin and guess what happened? I can hardly bring myself to tell you, but it fell and landed with a thud on my kitchen floor and it broke. The cake, that is. Not the floor, just in case you get a bit mixed up.

Oh dear. It was so sad and my poor old MH cried 'cos she had worked so hard and was awful upset. Even my bestest cuddles and purrs didn't help and I didn't know what to do. My poor old DH was upset too, so it wasn't a very happy house last night, I'm afraid. However, things are a lot better today. The cake is still broke but my MH is feeling a wee bit happier and I have been doing my very bestest to keep her feeling good.

It has been a bit windy on my island so I have only been out for short times and my little weather man friend says it is going to be very windy tomorrow, so I think I will just stay curled up in my little bed until the naughty wind goes away again.

Maybe I will have some news for you tomorrow, but I don't have much to tell you today except I am happy and I hope you are happy too.

Another Good Day

It wasn't quite a normal Wednesday, but it was a good Wednesday and I have liked it a lot. My DH went away to the Cat Shop and I sat with my MH for a while before she had to go out too, but before she did, we had a play on my bed and she tickled me and cuddled me and told me she loved me so I purred back to her that I loved her too. Then do you know what she did? She covered me up with the blanket and left me to have a lovely sleep until she came home again, and I was so, so comfortable. I hope she does that again.

Later in the afternoon, my friend M. came over and she helped my MH to make our Christmas cake and I watched them and sniffed at all the lovely smells they were making, and just when they were finished, the nice farmer man from next door came in to see me. He said he wanted to talk to my MH, but I really knew it was me he wanted to see, so I gave him one of my special purrs and he smiled at me.

The cake is out of the oven now, but it is still very hot and I have been warned not to go near it, so I will ask the Boss to take a picture of it for tomorrow and you can see it for yourself.

I nearly got into a bit of bother this afternoon before all the baking started. When my MH came home, she sat on my couch to have her yogurt and just as she started, there was a bit of a crash in my kitchen and she came running through to find me sitting on the floor with the fruit bowl lying beside me and the oranges all over the place, plus a very squashed plum splattered on the floor and she very quickly worked out that I had been up on top of the cupboards again and on my way back down, one of my adorable little paws hit the fruit bowl and it sort of fell. Oh dear. I got a good telling off and even my 'I am so very sorry' face didn't work---but just for a little while. She soon loved me loads again!

I think I might not go mountaineering again. Well, just for tonight anyway, or until the cake is safely out of the way 'cos after all the hard work my MH has done today, it would definitely be more than my adorable little life is worth to hurt her cake!
