Up and Down and Up Again

That's what I have been today.

We all got up quite early this morning---well, early for these old dears!--- and I had my breakfast and then sat on my MH's knee while she had hers and as usual, I finished the milk of her cereal and I was very happy 'cos I thought we were all going to be together all day, and then I saw that they were getting ready to go out and I became a wee bit sad.

I am a people pussy cat and I love it the bestest when my humans are both here in my house with me and I get a wee bit sad when they have to go away and leave me, and my MH said that she gets a wee bit sad too when she leaves me, so we were both sad.

But then, just after a short time and just about half a sleep, my door opened and my humans had come back to me, and I got a great big surprise that made me very happy 'cos I thought they were going to be away for a long time.

In fact, I was so happy that I bounced all over my living room playing with my wee green ball and jumping on and off my couch and that made my humans laugh a lot, so we were all very happy again. So you see, I have had quite a good day after all.

When my humans were out, my MH had to take one of her guitars with her and when she came back, she put the case down on my kitchen floor and when she took her guitar out, I went in, and I loved it. It is all furry inside and so cosy and warm. I think I might ask her if I can get it for my bed in the winter, but I think she might say 'no'. :-(

        

She was telling my DH that she wants Santa Claus to bring her a new instrument called a 'guitalele' which is like her little ukulele but has got six strings like one of her guitars. The other guitar has twelve strings and that's our favourite one. My DH listened very carefully and he said he would speak to Santa Claus, so I am having a think now about what he can ask for me.

I can't decide whether I want something to play with or maybe something to go inside this adorable little tummy---or maybe both if that's not too greedy.

But I am sure it isn't. :-))

A Quiet Day

 That's what I have had 'cos my humans have been away to Kirkwall to do some shopping. I was OK though, as you know I would be and I did get rather excited when they came home 'cos they were carrying a ginormous box and my MH said I hadn't to look as it was my birthday present and it had to be kept as a surprise until the 15th of December.

Like a good puss, I promised, but I kept my paws crossed, so that doesn't count, does it?  I watched very carefully where my MH put it so I may have a wee sniff at it when the humans are sleeping. Oh I am so excited! How will I wait all those hundreds of days until I am four? I don't think I can do it! How many sleeps is that?

 During the day, I had a long rest until my humans came home and  they played with me for a while and gave me lots of cuddles and then I had a sleep on my couch and dreamed of birthday presents and treats.

            

I will go out to play later on and I will have a long chat to all the little mouses and maybe they will tell me how to open a big parcel without my humans knowing anything about it.

Any ideas please will be gratefully received! Did I tell you I was excited?

As Promised.....

...... I have been the centre of my MH's universe. Which is just as it should be, I hear you yell.

We all had a long sleep 'cos we didn't have very much to do today and my poor old MH was a wee bit tired after doing all the dishes with S. so she needed a wee rest.

We watched a couple of programmes that we had missed on Friday night and then we had a wee girlie chat about Strictly 'cos that is our favourite programme just now and then I sat on her knee while she showed me all the photographs of the Harvest Home which was on Friday night, and I liked watching them 'cos I could see lots of my human friends on my MH's computer screen and I gave her a special purr for doing that.

I had a wee rest while she went out to post the mail and then she played with me when she came home and at one point I was playing with two toys at the same time! Wow! I think I am getting cleverer and cleverer every day!

I went outside for a quick play but it is a bit cold today and I really wanted to be with my MH so I didn't stay out too long. She gave me my dinner and I am going to have a quick snooze on my couch now before the dancing comes on again. I wonder who will be going home tonight?

I hope you have had a good weekend and that you have been happy doing whatever you have had to do, 'cos I know I have been a very happy little pussy cat and it would make me even happier if I knowed that all my friends were happy too.

No News

I don't have any news for you today 'cos I was all on my own last night after my humans went away to a party in our Hall.

We had a visitor to my house first and she thought I was just wonderful. She is a cat person and knows wonderful when she sees it.

They all went away out and didn't come back in until I was sleeping but I did manage to get up and run to greet them and I got some special cuddles before the humans toddled off to bed.

Today was quite a busy one 'cos my friend S. came up to help my MH do the dishes from last night's party and as there wasn't much for yours truly to do, I just stayed in my little bed until they were finished and then I toddled through and S. was so pleased to see me and lifted me up to give me  a big cuddle so I was very happy.

My MH has told me that she has nothing to do tomorrow and I shall be the centre of her universe, so I am going to spend the rest of tonight thinking up all the things I want her to do  and all the games I want to play, and I know she will do that 'cos she always keeps her word.

I make sure of that!!

            

Back to normal again

All warm and cosy and happy, happy, happy. Even the rain hasn't made me angry. I have just stayed in my house with my MH 'cos my DH is away to the Cats shop.

I have been a sleepy puss and have just watched my MH doing her work as I lay on the back of my couch, so I am perfectly content. I am also happy 'cos my MH doesn't have webbed feets! How do I know, I hear you ask?

             

Well, last night, just before she went to sleep, I cuddled up beside her and when the walls began to shake with all her snoring---well, she had been busy through the day!--- I nipped under the covers and sneaked very, very carefully down to the bottom of the bed where her little tootsies were, and I had a good look and they are definitely human feets. Not pretty, but human, so that's another worry I can cross off my little worry book. Phew. :-))

They are going out tonight and a friend of ours is coming to stay for the night. F. is my MH's friend and plays a great big accordion and tonight is the island Harvest Home where everybody goes to the Hall to have a meal and then a dance and a wee dram or two and it is a good night.

I try to be in the kitchen when they come home again 'cos the wee drams make my DH's legs go all funny and rubbery and me and my MH have a good giggle when he tries to walk in a straight line and can't manage it. It is very funny although my DH doesn't think so. Hee hee

My MH doesn't take any wee drams so her wee legs are all right---not pretty, but all right :-))) I hope she doesn't read this, or I am in trouble!

I will tell you all about it tomorrow, but tonight I am going to be very lazy and just have a sleep until they come home again.

Worry, worry, worry

Well, just when I think my little life is sailing along quite nicely, thank you, something happens which worries this adorable little pussy cat, and it happened yesterday.

I began to think my humans had spent all our money and we had none left! Oh woe is me! Now, I hear you asking why I was thinking that. I am a very clever pussy cat 'cos I can hear all these things even when you are not in the room with me, or even the same house, or even the same COUNTRY! I think I must be a super puss.

Anyway. Why do I think that? Well, last night we all had our dinner and were sitting down for the evening. My DH was reading his Kindle and I was on my MH's knee watching our television when 'ping' our lights went off and the television went off and my little house was in darkness and my humans didn't do anything at all to make it better and that's when I got really worried. Why was my house all dark and cold and why did my MH go to bed with her jumper on over her jammies and her socks on? I hardly slept for worrying and even when I got up this morning, they still hadn't made it better and that's when I thought maybe we were too poor to have the electric on any more. Oh the shame of it all. How would I hold my adorable little head up in front of all the mouses?

But then! Oh then. I looked out of my window and I saw a man outside my window with a bright yellow coat on. It was so bright I had to rub my little eyes and he was doing something with all the wires, so I had a wee bit of hope, but then my MH went away and left me and my DH and I got worried again.

I tried to find a warm place in my house and I curled up and worried some more, but suddenly there was another 'ping' and guess what? YES!!! All my lights and television and heating came on again. Oh I was such a happy and relieved little pussy cat. It wasn't our fault at all, it was the big bad wind that broke some of the electric cables and the nice, nice man in the bright yellow coat fixed it all up again. Phew!

My DH told me that my MH was just away swimming and she was home soon and told me she had swummed fifty lengths of the pool and now I have another wee worry. I think my MH might be part duck. So tonight when she is sleeping I am going to sneak under the covers and see if she has webbed feets! I will be able to do that 'cos she won't have her socks on tonight, I hope. I will let you know.

 I am going to have a sleep now and I just want to let you know that I am back to being a very happy, contented, warm little pussy cat, so don't worry about me.

                     

More Climbing

I am afraid I am frightening the life out of my poor old MH with all my climbing escapades. I have suddenly discovered that I like being up high and I have been having a wander round my house looking to see which high bits I can reach easily. It is a very good game and one I am very good at! Is my modesty showing again?

The poor old dears are just getting used to looking for me up on top of the kitchen cupboard but their nerves are getting a wee bit frazzled with my new adventures.

For example, this afternoon, me and my MH were in our bedroom and I was sitting with her on the bed, but while she was doing things, I was having a good look around. Now, you all know that I have been up on top of the wardrobes before, talking to all my MH's soft toy animals, but today I managed to get to the top of her video cabinet which is quite high and she got a big fright.

I was sitting on her wee bedside cabinet, then I moved up on top of the hi-fi thingy, leapt from there on top of a CD cabinet and then 'spring' I was up at the ceiling again! She called for my DH to come and see me but by then I was plummeting towards the floor at a great rate of knots and he missed me. So I will have to do it again, just for him, won't I?

It has been a dreadful day on my little island with a horrible gale and my poor wee MH had to go out in it and she said she nearly got blowed away, but thankfully she got blowed back again! My DH didn't get to the Cat shop 'cos the boat didn't want to come out so he stayed home and looked after me while The Boss was out.

I went outside for a wee while, but it was too  cold and wet and windy, so I sat up on the kitchen window sill and asked to be let in, and let in I was! I played with my toys for a while and then had a wee rest and today's picture shows me telling my MH what I want to see on my television tonight. :-))
