Lonely Puss

I have been on my own today 'cos both my humans had to go off the island, and I can't go with them, so I was just a bit sad. My DH went to the Cat Shop and my MH had to go to Kirkwall to see the dentist, so I was in charge of my house.

The weather was quite good, so the window was left open for me and I did go out to play a few times until the rain came on and I just curled up on my couch and waited for them to come home again. My MH was first home and after she had cuddled me, she told me all about her day and then we put away all the messages---and there was a lot. It took me a long time, although I must admit, I would stop every now and then and play with my little green ball and the old dear had to do them herself!

We had a good night last night 'cos me and both my humans were out in the dark while they watched the Northern Lights which were quite beautiful. There were millions of stars shining on me and the sky was shimmering with white and red and green and the old folk thought it was wonderful.

I just thought it was wonderful that we were all outside in the dark and after I tried to watch the sky, I decided that I was happier running across the grass and jumping up and down off my little wall and that made my humans laugh a lot.

I wonder if the Northern Lights will come back tonight? I hope so.

Just a normal day...

.. for me and my humans, and we have all been just a wee bit busy. I like when we are all together in my house 'cos there is always lots for me to do which makes me very happy.

There was of course, one great big cloud on my little horizon and that was in the form of the vacuum cleaner which made its usual Thursday appearance, but at one point I thought all my Christmases had arrived 'cos my DH took it outside and I thought "Yippee. He is throwing it away!" But he didn't :-(

He was just taking the horrid thing out 'cos The Boss had asked him to empty it and clean all the filters and it was so dusty, it looked like my DH was in the middle of a sand storm. Poor old thing!

My afternoon was just a sort of normal one, with sleeps, wee plays with my MH and my toys, a wee seat on my window sill and another wee sleep. Oh sometimes it is a very hard life! Hee hee

I found my little green ball again and I made my humans laugh out loud as I ran with it and jumped with it and slid around my kitchen. We have a kind of linoleum on my kitchen floor instead of carpet, and if I am going really fast, I skid when I am going round corners and my adorable little back legs go like the hammers to try and keep me from falling over and I know I look really funny when that happens, but it makes me a wee bit tired.

There is an advert on my television that has a wee girl on a bike and a kitten in the basket on the front and they are both singing and it is brilliant, so the old dear has decided she is going to try and teach me to sing and I have told her that I will sing when she gets a bike!

I don't think the world is ready for that!

A Blushing Puss

Now, you all know that modesty is one of my more attractive traits. My MH says I take it after her 'cos she always says that modesty is her best feature!!

However, I got a message from my friend B. who lives in Canada and she told me that I was the cutest pussy cat ever! My MH read the message out to me, and I must admit, that I did blush a little, but when I thought about it, I couldn't really argue with her, could I? I am simply adorable.

I have had another good day, but sadly, the weather on my little island hasn't been good and I have not been out very much --- just wee quick runs round my garden but I went out to feed the birdies with my MH and we played on the grass for a minute or two and I ran as fast as my adorable little legs would go,before we both went indoors again.

I played with my MH and then I sat on my widow sill and just waited until the birdies came for their dinner 'cos I like to watch them having a wee feed. First of all, the little sparrows came and when they were all filled up, they flied away and the starlings came and finished it all up.

My MH took this picture of one of the starlings so that you could see how lovely they all are.

I hope you like my little birdie friend.

Still Good

We are still all very happy. The weather is nice and bright but still a wee bit cold, so my MH hasn't been outside much, but I go into my garden and when I decide to go indoors, I sit on her knee and tell her all that is happening, so she isn't missing anything.

Another new thing that she has been doing is having a wee snooze on my couch in the afternoon and so that she sleeps the very bestest that she can, I lie on her tummy and purr till she is sound and then I sit beside her till she wakes up or until I am hungry. Whichever one comes first!! Well, a pussy cat gets hungry with all this nursing and caring stuff.

We had a wee fun time this morning which I want to tell you about. Me and my MH had got up. I had eaten all my breakfast and I was waiting for her to finish her cereal so that I could get the last wee drop of milk as usual, and then oft I went, but my MH didn't know where.

She knowed I was in the house 'cos the windows and the door were still closed, so she decided to have a look for me and when she found me, she had a great big grin on her face 'cos I looked even more adorabler than ever and she said her heart melted when she looked at me.

We have a spare bedroom and this morning the sun was streaming in the window, so I took myself onto the bed. Now, on top of the bed is a lovely blanket that my MH's mummy made before I was Squeak and as I like being under the covers,I snuggled under it and lay with my adorable little head sticking out to catch all the sunshine that was coming in, and oh dear reader, I was so, so comfortable.

When my MH saw me, she laughed and at that point I wakened up and had a glorious ginormous stretch which I enjoyed and then my MH asked me to pose for her, so you could see just how relaxed I was looking today.

I hope you are relaxed too.

A Crackin' Day

I have an absolutely crackin' day today and I have been outside lots and lots of times and you know that always makes me very happy.

Everything is still getting done in my house, but it is getting done a lot slower and my MH keeps having wee seats in between jobs, so I watch what she is doing and then when she is sitting, I sit on her knee or on the couch beside her and we have a wee girlie one-to-one. I have so much to tell her when I have been outside, but sometimes I just like to sit and think while she strokes my adorable little lugs.

My DH was outside a lot too, so I was very busy helping him and although I was a wee bit cold, I was so happy to be out and not getting rained on or snowed on or blowed away!

Me and my MH played with my toys and I was able to run round and round my living room while she sat on the floor and waited for me to 'swing' past her, so we had very good fun. Then I noticed that my DH had put some food out for the birdies, so I assumed my position on my window sill and just waited for all the little fliers to arrive at the birdie feeder, which they did! As usual, I was a very good little Squeak and didn't chase them until I thought they were all full up.

Now, my poor old MH thinks that I am leaving the little birdies until they have had a good feed so that they aren't hungry any more, but the REAL reason is that IF they are full up, and IF I could ever catch one, there would be more for me to eat!! See?

Oh I am awful, but totally, totally adorable!

Busy Sunday!

Now, those of you who follow me will know that this is an odd statement for me to make 'cos usually me and my humans are very quiet on a Sunday, but today was different.

We didn't get up too early 'cos it is a wee bit blowy and I knew I wouldn't want to go out too much, so I left the humans to sleep and they were very pleased with me. My needs are simple--an endless supply of my favourite food; lots of water; plenty of company and the undying devotion of my humans. Simples!!

I helped my MH with a few wee jobs, but to be honest I wasn't in the best of moods and even when I got visitors, I still didn't sparkle as I usually do and I kept trying to tell the old dear what the matter was, but I think something must have been wrong with her Squeak aerial 'cos she wasn't doing what I wanted, and that was to change my dinner!

The 'stuff' in my dish didn't appeal to my palate today, so I asked her a few times to change it, but I wasn't getting through until my friend S. came to see me and suddenly the light went on in my MH's brain and she jumped up, went into the kitchen and gave me a fresh plate of dinner which I scoffed down and then burped--delicately, of course--in appreciation.

I don't know what kept her so long. Maybe I shall have to resume her training? I shall give that some thought.

Happy Squeak

We have all had another good day and I am a happy pussy cat again. We haven't done very much but we have all done wee bits and pieces and my MH was able to play with me which always puts a smile on my face. You just can't see it!

I was sitting on my living room window sill this afternoon while my humans were chattering and my MH noticed that I was making odd squeaking and growling noises, so she got up to see what was annoying this adorable little puss, and there, in the field in front of my house was a big seagull just sitting there, and right away my MH knew I wanted out to play with said birdie.

She was going to open then window for me 'cos she knows I don't have any chance of catching a birdie---even if I wanted to!--- but then she noticed that Mr. Seagull had a sore leg, so she didn't let me out, and yours truly was not best pleased.

A while later, my DH went into the garden to cut off some flowers 'cos my MH had read that some flowers and plants can hurt adorable pusscats. They can hurt ones that are not just as adorable too, so the head gardener was sent out to make it safe. As soon as I saw him outside, I was right there beside him and he was very pleased.

He thought I was out to keep him company, but I was really looking for the birdie! I didn't tell him that though.

I don't want to upset him.
