More Play Time

I was able to get out to play for a lot longer today 'cos it wasn't raining too much. To be honest I was glad to get out of my house for a while 'cos I don't know what is happening to my humans, but they seem to have caught some kind of cleaning bug. Well, it's more my MH's bug and my DH just does as she tells him ----sometimes!

So, the vacuum cleaner was racing round the house and the steamer was spitting its way round my kitchen and my porch so yours truly decided to head off into the garden where the only noise was the chirping of the birdies which was lovely and I liked it very much so I stayed outside until I knew that all the work would be done and then I jumped back in the window and my house was all quiet again.

By this time my MH needed a wee rest and she was sitting on my couch, so I just nipped up on her knee and we sat there for a long time while she stroked me and talked to me and you all know how happy that makes me.

The rest of my day passed nice and quietly and I had a long afternoon snooze and two or three little trips outside to see what the birdies were doing and also to sharpen my little claws. I have a scratching post in my house but I prefer the bits of wood in front of my house and I use those as often as I can, but as you know,it all depends on the weather. Today was a good-ish day, so I scratched and scratched and scratched, and it was ever so good. My little claws are now perfect. Naturally!

When I went inside again I decided to play with some of my toys and after a lot of deliberation I picked my little mouse and I played with that for a long time. I love that little mouse 'cos I can lift it up and walk about with it and although this picture is a wee bit dark, I wanted you to see my little mouse. I 'specially wanted my friend J. to see it 'cos it was her that sended it to me through the post and I just love it loads.

So there we are. Not too bad a day after all and on top of it all, my MH has told me that she isn't doing any housework at all tomorrow and all her time will be for me. Yippee!

Well...

...although the weather was not completely to my liking, I still managed to go out for a couple of play times while my MH was playing with her vacuum cleaner.

Those of you who know me will know that Monday chez Squeak is cleaning day and unless I want polished, dusted or hoovered, I have got to keep on the move and the safest place is generally in my greenhouse with my DH but being Monday, he was away to the Cat Shop and the greenhouse was all shut up, so I just took my rest in the pampas grass until I heard silence in my house and I knew it was safe to go in.

While I was out, I had a quick word with my lady cow friends but I still haven't asked if there are any little baby cows due soon. It just didn't seem the right time, but I will. I had a good wee play in the field, but as I was feeling a tad cold I decided to go home and ask my MH for a cuddle and as usual, she was only too happy to oblige.

Me and the old dear sat on my couch for a long time and then she decided that she needed some fresh air and would I like to go outside with her? Well, although I wasn't too fussed, I knew she would be very disappointed if I didn't go with her, so oft we both went, but oh my dear friends, it was very cold so I stuck my adorable little nose outside the door and then scooted back inside again, making my MH laugh at me. Mind you, she didn't stay out much longer either! I did hear her telling my friend S. that she is going to take her little legs into her gym tomorrow, so I shall go there and help her---I think!

I still had a lot of energy left so I did one of what my MH calls my 'daft runs' which means I want to play and I disappeared at break-neck speed into my bedroom and the old dear came in after me, but a lot slower that me! We played for a long time and she wrapped me up in my blanket and then pretended she couldn't see me, but I knew she could and I wagged my little tail for her to prove I was there.

Oh we did have such good fun and we told my DH all about it when he came back home again and it made him smile too.

Sleepy Sunday

We have all had a very lazy day today and we have all liked it very much. My humans have been working quite hard for a long time so it is good that the work is all finished and that they can have a rest. It is also very good that now they have lots more time for me because although I didn't get completely ignored, I didn't get as many cuddles as usual and definitely not as many as I wanted, but normal service had been well and truly restored.

I must tell you about a very special time that me and my MH had in the middle of the night. She needed to get up and it was still dark so it was sleeping time but hen she came back to bed she decided that we would have a wee chat before she went to sleep again. I snuggled in beside her as close, as close as I could possibly get, In fact, it took me quite a few trips round the bed before I finally found the right spot and I lay down and let my MH cuddle me. She talked to me for a while in a wee whisper 'cos she didn't want to waken my DH who was snoring away quite happily and I guess she could have been singing with her guitar and he wouldn't have wakened! But it was nice to have a whisper as it made it feel special and my MH told me she loved me millions and I was so, so happy. Oh, I loved it and I hope she does it again---soon!

Today is a special day for my friend S. 'cos it is her birthday. She didn't come to see me but my MH tooked her a birthday card and before she stucked down the envelope, I purred into it and she gave it to S. It is a kind of pussy cat version of 'Happy Birthday' and I hope she likes it.

So, that has been my day. Not very exciting but a very good one just the same and I have been happy and I hope you have been happy too.

A Super Saturday

For the first day for as long as I can remember, my humans were not working in my house and I for one was delighted! I know they have to work hard to keep the place clean and tidy for yours truly, but I was in danger of being neglected and it was making me rather cross, but it all stopped just in time and normal service is well and truly restored! Phew.

In order to show my appreciation of all they had done, I decided to stay in my house for a long time this morning and I sat on my MH's knee and let her stroke me and talk to me and it was just lovely. My DH was making the dinner and I got a wee bit of meat from him and I gobbled it all up which made him smile and I think I even felt my adorable little tummy smile when the meat got there. Either that or I have wind!

I was still playing with one of my bits of string as well as my little mouse so I have been getting rid of lots of my energy, but I am afraid I have developed a rather annoying habit which is making my poor old MH just a tad not too happy with me. Shall I explain? OK Here goes.

My living room has two windows in it and usually I go out the same window all the time which is the right hand side one. Sometimes, if it is cold, I just run round the house and then come back to the window and ask to be let in again, but recently I have been asking to go out the left hand window and just run outside to the other window so that by the time my MH has reached the couch, I am banging on the window to get back in again. She doesn't know why I even go out when I am in so quickly and I ain't telling!

Probably when the weather gets better I will stay out much longer, but as it is still a bit cold for me I am quite content with lots of short trips into my garden. And as there are no baby cows yet and the sheeps are all away in another field, I have more company inside with my humans, so that is the best place to be. See?

Friday Again

Which means string! Oh I love it when it is a string day. I wait very patiently while my DH carries in our boxes and then he cuts the string, puts a knot in it and throws it to me and I play with it for ages! Oh I love it and especially when I am in my kitchen 'cos we have lino on the floor and I can slide all over the place which is just sheer magic!

It has still been a good day weather-wise and me and my humans have both been outside a lot which is what I love. My DH has been tidying up all his tools and cleaning out my MH's gym 'cos there was lots of stuff dumped in there when the workmen were here and the old dear now wants to start taking her little legs for some exercise so she wants into her gym. Well, that was a job for me and my DH. I have to make sure he leaves it just as the Boss likes it and because I do her exercises with her, I know these things. She hasn't seen it yet 'cos we're not quite finished, but I know she will be happy.

I also had a perambulation with my MH when she went out to feed the birdies and we had a play on the grass when she had finished, so I have had a very busy day, but a very good day.

It is now just after dinner time and my adorable little tummy is full, so I am having a nap before I head outside again later on and I have a lot of socialising to do because the nice farmer man next door put some cows into the field opposite me house and I need to go and introduce myself. If the opportunity presents itself, I shall make discreet enquiries as to the eventuality of some baby cows for me to play with.

I don't think they will mind me asking, will they?

Still Happy

But a tad bewildered this morning. The alarm went off early and both my humans got up and I decided that they must be going on the early boat to the town, so I decided that I would be having a lonely day, but I was wrong. I was wrong, but oh so happy.

My DH went away to the pier and then brought the nurse to see my MH 'cos she has a wee sore heel and the nurse wanted to see it, so that's why we were all up at the crack of dawn, but it gave me lots more time to play and to be adored 'cos the nurse lady likes puss cats and thought I was wonderful. 'Nuff said.

My DH was still busy finishing all his jobs around my house and I was able to go outside with him lots and lots of times and that was really good fun, but then I was so excited 'cos my friend J. came to help us and he made such a fuss of me and let me help him. He even tickled my little lugs and I was a very happy little Squeak. I love my friend J.

My day just keeped getting better and better and now I am lying on my MH's knee with my adorable little head on her computer and every now and then she strokes my little lugs and tells me she loves me, so my night is pretty good too.

I hope you have had as good a day as me.

A Brilliant Day

In every single way. I have had a magic time and I have loved every minute of it. And, I have still the night time to come. Oh, I am such a happy little Squeak.

My DH went away on the boat to go to the Cat Shop and me and my MH sat on my couch and had a lovely together time. She stroked me and talked to me and told me she needed to do just a tiny bit of work, but the weather was so good that she would leave the window open for me, so I nipped outside and played in my garden and it was quite warm but it was dry and there was no wind, so it was definitely Squeak weather.

After a wee while, I heard my MH calling for me as she went out to feed the little birdies and I ran up to her as fast as I could. I just love it when she comes out to play with me and I was so excited that I ran round and round my garden and then with one of my speciality death-defying leaps, I ran right up the clothes pole and the old dear laughed out loud but she laughed even more when she saw the picture that she had taken 'cos it looks as though I didn't take my adorable little head with me. But don't worry, dear friends, it was there. Promise.

We left there and went round to the front of my house and my excitement was even more so my next trick was to throw myself right into the middle of the pampas grass and I just sat there for a long time pretending I was a tree and I was loving every single minute. And so was my MH 'cos she told me.

I needed a rest after that and just as I was sliding into a lovely sleep, my friend M. came to my house with a cream cake for her and my MH, but I only got a cuddle, but that was OK. I got another surprise later on when we got more visitors and one was my very special friend J. with his mummy and he cuddled me lots and I was very happy and glad I hadn't slept in for that.

So, that has been my day and it has been a very good one and as I said, I have still the night time to go out and play 'cos there is still no wind so my humans will be able to leave the window open for me and I can come home whenever I want to.

Just a perfect day.
