So Lazy

We have all been very lazy this Sunday and we are all liking it. Both my humans are feeling a bit better now and my MH has her own voice back but my DH is still coughing an awful lot and sometimes my adorable wee head gets sore listening to him, but I know the old soul can't help it. He thinks he might go to the Cat Shop tomorrow so me and my MH will get peace. Oh goody!

We didn't get up too early and I did have a wee wander round my garden but I didn't really see anything very interesting so I just went back inside and sat on the sink while my MH did a wee bit of her ironing and we had a good old chat which we both liked.

I was still feeling a bit tired so I went and lay on my bed while my humans watched the football and then I sat on my MH's knee for a while before we had a play with some of my toys and that was very good fun too.

I didn't see my friend S. today 'cos she has visitors but my MH told me that she might come on to my computer and talk to us and that would be good. Did you know that one of my MH's friends who lives in Australia has seen me on her computer? I am not sure how I got there but I was in a living room in Sydney, so there. I wonder where else I could go to show more people just how adorable I am.

I liked Strictly last night and we will be watching again tonight to see who has to go home. I still haven't made up my mind who is my favourite so I shall have to start paying more attention and make a big decision. I think me and my MH will have a chat and maybe with my friend S. when she arrives on my computer.

I am getting quite excited at the thought of it all and naturally I will tell you all about it.

So...

Do you remember that I told you yesterday that I was to be the centre of my MH's universe today 'cos I had been left all on my own last night? Well, the old dear kept her word. I sort of made sure she did by asking her to play with me lots of times, which she did, but then we both had a great big surprise 'cos we got visitors and I loved it.

One of my MH's former pupils was back on the island and she wanted to see me and she brought her two baby humans with her so that we could all have a wee look at them. There was a little girl and she is about two and there was a baby boy who is just months old so he really wasn't very interesting although I did have a sniff at him when his mummy put him on the floor. I was rather lucky 'cos I sniffed his hair and not the other end and my MH told me I was a very wise puss!

The little girl was more fun and she wanted to play with me and my MH told me she was very proud of me 'cos I was very gentle and I let the little girl stroke me and touch me and she loved me very much, so that is another gold star for yours truly! I even had a seat in the little boy's carry cot. He wasn't in it at the time so I decided I would like to see what it would feel like to be a human baby and I jumped in but it sort of tipped over so I jumped out again and that made everybody laugh. We all had good fun, but my house was nice and quiet again when they all went away and I had to have a little snooze to recover from all my adoration.

As you can see, I have had a good day and the best bit is just about to happen as I am sitting on my MH's knee and we are patiently waiting for Strictly to come on again.

I hope you have had a good Saturday too and that Sunday will be a super duper day for you.

Friday Again...

... and still nothing very much to report. Me and my MH were up before seven o'clock again this morning and yours truly stuck my adorable little nose out of the door, but as soon as it got rained on, I was back on my couch again!

My DH is feeling a wee bit better today and my MH isn't sounding as croaky as she did yesterday so I think that my nursing has paid off and I am sure that by tomorrow they will be back to normal again, although they have just told me that they are going out partying again tonight, and I am not best pleased!

It was my friend M.'s birthday last Sunday and she is having a big party tonight in the Hall and everybody on the island is going, but not us animals. Why do we never get invited? My party manners are very good and I would keep them amused with all my adorable little antics. Sigh!

However, my dear old MH has promised that I will have her undivided attention ALL weekend, so I shall spend this evening making a long list of all the things that I want her and me to do and I shall present it to her tonight when she comes home to me.

You see, she will be feeling guilty then and will promise me anything at all! Oh, am I a clever little puss or what?

Just another day

And a very quiet day for us all. My DH has stayed in his little bed all day 'cos he isn't feeling very well and my MH has the funniest voice you have ever heard. It is all deep and husky and croaky and I think it sounds really funny but I didn't tell her that 'cos she says it is a wee bit sore when she tries to talk, so I have been very kind to her.

She told me that whenever she gets a cold it makes her voice go all funny so I think maybe that's what is wrong, but she got some medicine on the boat so hopefully it will be better soon. She wanted to phone my friend P. and H. in Germany but that will need to wait till she sounds better, but she asked me to tell them that she will phone soon.

So, my day was just a kind of normal one with me staying beside my DH while the old dear ran round the house with her vacuum cleaner and her dusters and when she was finished I went and sat on her knee and we had a nice time together. I did go outside once or twice and every time I come home, I jump up on the window sill then onto the leather chair at the window in my living room and it is then that my MH notices I have left lots of little paw prints on it and she has to keep washing it.

She told me she was going to knit me little boots but I told her that if I wear ANY boots, they will be real ones made specially for me, so she is thinking about it. I hope I get ones with laces 'cos whenever my MH goes anywhere she puts on her shoes and then when she comes back she has to take them off again, and I have the bestest of fun biting her laces, so if MY boots have laces I will have great fun while she ties them for me.

I think I am beginning to warm to this idea!

Just a Normal Day....

.... except for my poor old DH who wasn't feeling very well and decided to stay at home 'cos he has the cold, so when my MH went away out, I cuddled up beside him and I think I made him feel a whole lot better.

When my MH came home I sat with her for a while and we had one of our special chats and then I helped her in the study while she printed off some pictures. I like in that room 'cos there are lots of places for me to go climbing and exploring and as usual the old dear had her camera with her so she tooked these pictures to show you what I was doing. I had a brilliant afternoon and was a very happy little puss.

I was very patient and waited until she was finished and then I did my special run which means I want to play and that's just what we did. I ran all round my living room and dived from chair to chair until I was nearly puffed out, but I was very, very happy and so was my dear old MH.

It has been a good day on my little island and it is still nice, so I have a feeling that after my apres-dinner snooze, I shall go out hunting for a long time. I shall ask my humans to leave the window open and then I can come back home whenever I feel like it.

Just the perfect end to a perfect day!

Another Early Morning

for me and my MH as she had to get the early boat to take her away to Stromness to see the doctor, but she was home at lunch time to see me and my DH. We had both been fine, but I miss the old dear when she's not here and I think my DH misses her too, although he didn't tell me that. I just guessed and I usually guess right.

When she comed home I sat on her knee and she told me what she had been doing. She saw the lady nurse who tooked gallons of blood from her. I must tell you, my dear reader, I did come over a tad faint when she mentioned that bit, but I didn't let her see me throwing a wobbly and I listened again when she said she had seen these little ducks in Stromness harbour. Now, yesterday I told you about the little birdies I haven't seen, but I HAVE seen ducks 'cos they come to my little island and one day when I was down at the pier to see the V-E-T, I saw lots of black and white ducks and I liked them a lot, and these ones are quite nice too.

Later in the afternoon, I went into my garden and I sat under the bird feeder in case the little robin birdie came back, but I am afraid he didn't and I was quite disappointed. Maybe tomorrow. I shall keep watching and let you know.

When my MH was watching me out of the window, she saw two houses over in Stromness and it looked as though they were on fire but it was just the setting sun reflecting on their windows and when she told me we thought you might like to see it too.

So I hope you like these pictures today.

Monday, Monday

So, me and my MH were up in the middle of the night again and when I asked to go out to play she said 'no'! Well, I was flabbergasted. In fact, my gast has never been so flabbered because my dearest MH has never said no to me before. I did consider having a tantrum by lying on the the floor and beating the tiles with my adorable little paws, but then I had a listen and I heard the rain battering off the window, so I graciously agreed to stay home and before the old dear was inside her little motor, I was back in my little bed! Oh yes!!

I sat with her when she came home and we had a chat when my DH went away to the Cat Shop before the vacuum cleaner and the duster came out, so do you know what I did? Yep, back to my little bed until she was finished and then it was more cuddle time.

In the afternoon I got a big surprise 'cos I saw a little birdie that I had never seen before and my MH told me it was a robin and that the robin was one of her favourite birdies along with an owl and the puffins and she has seen all of those birdies, but I haven't. I have just seen the robin and I liked his little red breast so I hope I see him again.

Me and my MH had a little snooze in the afternoon and I was all snuggled up beside her and she told me that I made her smile 'cos she heard me doing a little snore and she said it was so beautiful that it nearly made her cry, but she just smiled instead. Ah bless!

We are going to be up early again tomorrow 'cos my MH has to go and see the doctor in Stromness and then she is getting her hair cut, so it will be just me and my DH till lunch time and then I shall sit with my MH while she tells me all that she has been doing and I am looking forward to that bit.

I am sure we will have a good chat and I will tell you all about it later.
