Odd! Very Odd!!

There are some srange happenings on my little island today and some of these strange things are even in my house. When I asked my MH what it was all about, she said it had something to do with halloween and I kind of remember it from last year 'cos my two humans went out looking very odd indeed. Much odder than they usually look! I think I may have some scarey pictures for you tomorrow.

All has been well today but I have been left on my own quite a lot 'cos my DH is in Stromness and my MH had lots to do in the Hall getting it ready for the party tonight. but when she came home, she gave me lots of cuddles and I sat on her knee for a long time until we decided to play with my little ball and as you can see, today's picture is an action shot of yours truly.

I think I will be having a very quiet night tonight 'cos they are both going out, but my MH promised me that I could sit on her knee when she came home and she would tell me all about it, so I will look forward to that.

I really like sitting on her knee.

More Normal

Today was a more normal day with not too bad weather which meant that yours truly could get in and out a lot and that's what yours truly likes.

Me and my MH played a lot with all of my toys and we even went back into the gym and I played in the grass box again and got more grass on my little paws before I settled down on the chair and had a snooze while my MH did her exercises.

Then she had to do her ironing and I played in the basin in the sink while she did that. She always puts a wee drop of water in the basin for me and I can paddle in it and play in it and I love doing that, so I had good fun.

My friend Button lives right on the sea shore and she has been near REAL water, but I live a bit further away, so I haven't been down to the beach, and I don't think I want to be.

There are seals in the sea around my little island and they might think that I am so adorable that they want to take me to seal-land and try to come and get me, but I don't want to leave my house and my humans so I think I might just stick to playing with the water in my sink or on the bird bath outside my house.

It might be a whole lot safer.

Play Time

I had great fun last night playing with all my toys. My DH put my new mouse on a stick with long string and we played with it for hours and hours. I jumped on chairs and played with it on my rocking chair and it was beautiful.

It was also a good afternnon 'cos my friend S. came up to my house to play on my Wii with my MH and they were so funny. They did ski-ing and golf and tight rope walking and I was lying on my couch laughing until my little sides were sore, but I didn't let them see me.

I was able to go outside and I hunted for a long time and I even brought in a wee mouse but my DH wouldn't let it inside my house, so it went away again.

We were up very early this morning but my MH was quite happy 'cos this is the last of her VERY early mornings so the poor old dear won't need to go out in the dark too often which is good.

I played outside until she came home and then after she did her housework, we had a wee snooze together and we were both very happy.

Helpful Puss

That's what I was last night. My MH said she got more exercise last night when she was trying to watch the television that she did when she was on her treadmill.

As you know, the weather hasn't been very good here and I was in nearly all day so that by night time, I was so full of energy that my DH said my wee batteries were right off the scale. I was bouncing across my living room hitting as much of the furniture as I could when I passed and my poor humans were exhausted trying to keep up with me. Well, they aren't as young or as fit as what I am!

Anyway,in the evening I decided that enough was enough and I asked to be let out of the window, so my MH got up, let me out and heaved a sigh of relief. It was such a big sigh, it nearly blowed me over to Stromness. Hee hee :))

However. It was raining hard, so after I has stayed out a wee while and got thoroughly soaked, I jumped back up onto my window sill and asked to be let in again, and my dear old MH had to get up again. I just stood there and gave her my best cat smile and she dried me off with paper tissues. I sat on her knee until I was all cosy and dry and then I decided that I would give outside another try, and I am afraid my dear friends that I did this lots of times---out of the window, played and got wet, in the window, got dried had a seat on a knee and then out again. My poor humans were jiggered and I did feel sorry for them----nearly!

I am resting today and this is what I look like this afternoon, but I have a feeling I know what is coming later on this evening. And I think my humans know too!

I wonder if somebody could invent a pussycat treadmill, or a cage like a hamster's, but I think I would still prefer to be outside with all my little animal friends. Even if it does mean getting wet.

And I know my humans don't mind looking after me----I think!

Still awful

This weather is dreadful. We have rain and sleet and strong winds, so it is definitely not a day for little pussy cats to go outside, so I have been resting.

Becuse it is Saturday, my humans have been resting as well, although my MH had to go into the gym to get rid if her Thornton's toffee, but I just stayed in the house 'cos I was so very warm and comfortable. I watched my DH as he made the dinner for tonight, but there was nothing for me although I am hoping there might be some later on.

I had a snooze while my MH was getting her breath back and then we played games 'cos I needed to get rid of all of my energy. I tried it this morning about half past seven and I was hoping that my MH might play with me, but she said 'no'

She said a lot of other words but the general idea of it all was that she wasn't playing, but was going back to bed.

If I don't go out tonight, I shall play with her later, but I know I have to wait until after the dancing programme, whch suits me just fine 'cos it is my very favourite programe.

I hope you have something you like watching this weekend.

Horrid! Horrid! Horrid!

It has been a terrible day today and I have not been able to get out much at all.

My MH has to go out very early on a Monday and Friday but only for a wee while, so she gave me something to eat and I asked to go out. She opened the door expecting me to turn back, but I took off down my path as fast as my little legs could take me, 'cos it was cold and windy.

She tried to get me back into my house before she left, but I didn't want to go home, so 'cos she didn't want me to be out in that awful weather, she left my living room window open. As she passed the big shed I waved out to her car and she knew I was Ok, but when she got home there was snow on my window sill and my little sheep skin rug was wet and she had to put it in the tumble drier.

Now, I hear a sharp intake of breath all over the world when I mention a sheep skin rug, but it is not the skin of one of my sheeps. My MH got it as a present a lot of years ago, so that's OK.

I didn't go out after that. Instead I stayed on the back of my couch watching my MH doing her Wii exercises and this is why! You can see it is not nice.

But as usual, when I gave my MH the signal, she played with me and we had very good fun until my DH came home from Stromness where he was helping in the Cat shop and then I lay back on my couch while he told us what he had been doing all day.

I might go out later on if these snow showers stop, but it will depend on the weather. The Hoy Hills behind my house are all covered with snow and my MH says they are like Christmas puddings with icing sugar on them. Maybe she will take a picture of them for you one day.

I shall ask her.

Just Thinking

It has not been a very nice day today, so I haven't been out much at all. Even my MH didn't go to her wee gym, so she will need to go two times tomorrow! You see, she just bought a whole lot of Thornton's toffee and she just loves it, but she reckons she needs to cycle about two miles for every bit she eats. Poor old dear. I may never see her again!!

I went out for a wee while and I made my DH shake his head 'cos I came inside to use my litter tray and he couldn't understand why, but my MH knows me so well and she told him that I don't like getting my adorable little bottom wet and when it has been raining there is no dry grass for me to do what I have to do. So he just shooked his head again.

Now, if he shakes his head at a wee 'normal' thing like that, can you imagine what he will be like when he hears about my sheeps on the roof idea? And that's where the thinking bit of my day has come in. I spoke to some of the sheeps and they said I would need to make sure there was lots of grass on my roof before they would even consider moving, so it is kind of looking like this idea isn't going to work, but I shall keep trying. Also the sheeps belong to the nice farmer next door and he might not be too happy if he has to keep climbing onto my roof to talk to them. Just a thought!

I have been watching the birdies today as they having been having a feed and that's what today's picture is. My humans make sure they have enough to eat and I don't disturb them 'cos I don't want them to be hungry.

But I was a wee but naughty and I bringed in a baby mouse and my MH wasn't too happy with me and my DH had to put it out again, but apart from that I have been quite perfect as usual---not to mention modest!
