Ho Hum

What a day I have had! The weather has been awful with. Big naughty gale shouting at me and bringing rain and sleet as well. BUT I still went out to play. It needed all my intrepidness but I did it and I am afraid I worried my MH, but a puss has to do these things.

And besides, there are no seats for me in my house 'cos my friends N. and M. came to help my humans to take all the furniture out of my living room and tomorrow the new carpet is coming and then everything will be back to normal again and I for one will be very happy.

I have some pictures for you but my MH says she will show you them tomorrow as she is still a wee bit very busy and she is sure you understand.

I hope I will have much more news for you tomorrow, but I am quite well and I hope you are well too.

Still Busy

My house is in a big bit of a mess and all the things from my living room are away in boxes except for all the big bits of furniture and my MH said that tomorrow some of our friends are coming to help us take all those chairs and tables and couch and television out of my living room and I have no idea where they are going 'cos all the other rooms are nearly filled up already.

Normally I would be very worried about all of this, but my MH sat with me yesterday and explained it all so I am quite happy. My only little problem is where I am going to sit tomorrow if we have no chairs. I am certainly not sitting on the floor! I have never done that and I don't intend to start now! Hee hee

My poor old DH has a bigger problem than me 'cos my MH says he is not getting to stand on the new carpet unless he is wearing his slippers and he doesn't like slippers, so I shall be very interested to see what happens. I think he will wear slippers! It is much easier to agree with the Boss and I think he knows that. I did hear her mention that I might be getting slippers for my adorable little feets too although she accepts that I keep them clean. Maybe I could teach my DH what to do? Is that making a funny picture in your head?

I don't know if I will be able to write to you tomorrow 'cos we are all going to be busy, but I will try. It is still windy on my island and there has been lots and lots of rain.In fact, at one time it was raining so hard that we couldn't hear my television and my MH turned it way up high and then when the rain went off, the sound nearly hurt all our lugs!

I have still been able to get out to play lots of times and when I come back in I am usually cold, so I just stand on the chair until my MH lifts me up and cuddles me until I am warm again and I just love that.

I think I shall have to have a rest now 'cos I may not get much peace tomorrow with lots going on in my house and it will be the same on Monday when some men that I don't know yet come to put down the new carpet and then I shall a lot of sniffing to do. I hope that I like it, but even if I don't, I shall just pretend that I do.

I am just that kind of puss! Adorable!!!

Upheaval in my house

And I am not happy. Well, that's a wee bit of a lie 'cos there are so many boxes around that I am having great fun jumping in and out of them and as a very special surprise, I had a visit from my bestest friend S. today 'cos she wanted to help my MH. I think maybe I should explain what is happening in my house. I only found out yesterday night so I can tell you.

We are getting a new carpet in my living room! When I saw all the ornaments and things going into boxes I though that maybe we were leaving my beloved little island and I was very, very sad, but my MH sat me on her knee last night and said that we had to have a new carpet but we weren't going anywhere, and that made me happy.

So, it has been a busy day in my house with my humans and my friend S. putting all our lovely things into boxes and my DH shifting bits of furniture and me watching from the back of anything that didn't move! Just as I was getting a bit fed up, my DH appeared with more empty boxes and I had more good fun jumping in and out of them all. Now I am a wee bit tired so I am having a rest on my couch while it is still in my living room 'cos I am not very sure where it is going to be tomorrow! Hee hee.

Not a Good Thursday

We were all up very early this morning and the first thing that I noticed was that it was still dark, but I was undaunted and as I gobbled up my breakfast I was all prepared to put on my intrepid suit and go out into the wind and the rain. My MH opened the window and I was off! So far so good. I had a wee play and watched as the sky got lighter and was quite prepared to spend my day just nipping in and out at will. But it was not to be. Oh dear me no. I was tricked!

My MH called for me and I went inside and sat with her for a wee while as she told me that they had to go and leave me for the WHOLE day! Not a happy puss, I can tell you. However, I had worked out that if I nipped out when they opened the door, they couldn't go away and leave me 'cos it was too blowy to leave the window open and they would never leave me outside in the wind and the rain. So I sat and waited patiently at the inside door just waiting for them to open the outside door and then I was going to scoot into my garden. But,--- and I am almost too embarrassed to tell you this. My DH put down some wee treats for me and as I was busy devouring them, they nipped away leaving me inside, all alone and a wee bit sad. But quite full up. Hee hee

I sat on the window sill and had a few naps while I waited for them to come back but then I got a wee bit concerned 'cos it was getting dark and they still weren't home. My living room was dark and I didn't know how to put the lights on so I just had to sit there and worry until I suddenly heard the door open and all the lights were on and my humans were back to me. Oh happy happy Squeak.

I ran into the kitchen purring my hellos and my MH lifted me up and gave me the biggest cuddle I have ever had and I liked it millions. She told me she had missed me but knew I would be safe in my house until they both came back home again. And of course I was. I was just a bit lonely, 'cos I don't like it when I am here on my own, but it doesn't happen very often.

And today was a special day for my MH so I understand and I am trying to help her feel a bit better and she says she loves me for that----naturally!

A Good Day

Me and my MH have had a good day but my poor old DH has a rotten cold and has been coughing and sneezing so he didn't go to the Cat Shop, but he is feeling a bit better now.

The weather on my little island still isn't brilliant but I have still managed to get out to play as often as I want. I go out lots of times, but I don't stay out as long as I do in the summer 'cos it is a wee bit cold for me, so I just nip home to get warm and a cuddle and it was during one of these trips in that I discovered my humans had got me a wee new mouse toy which I liked playing with. As you can see!

I got another wee surprise 'cos for some reason my MH was a wee bit tired this afternoon and she decided to have a snooze on my couch and I snuggled under the blanket beside her and my DH said we were both snoring very loudly! But we were both very comfortable.

I do enjoy my little snooze, but if it is with my MH, then it is even better.

More Wind

It was raining a lot today and the wind was shouting at me again, but I still nipped outside after my breakfast and when I came back in I was not best pleased 'cos I noticed that my MH had her 'town clothes' on which meant she was going away to leave me. Sigh!

I jumped up on her knee and had my little drop of milk and I settled down for a little nap. I wasn't really sleepy, but I figured that if I was asleep, she wouldn't have the heart to waken me and so she would miss the boat and not leave me. Crafty, eh? But while she was stroking my adorable little lugs she told me she was going to get her haircut and she would be home at dinner time, so that made me happier and I let her go. I am just the goodest puss in this world. My MH tells me that all the time so it must be true.

I looked after my DH and we had a wee chat and before I knew it, the old dear was back in my kitchen lifting me up for a great big cuddle and I was so very happy. I sat with her for a while and then we played with some of my toys which was good fun and then it was time to go outside again.

My timing wasn't great, I'm afraid and as soon as I went outside the rain came pouring down and I got a wee bit soaking wet again. I scooted under the pampas grass and I had to wait there until the rain went off before I got back in the house where I stood on the chair until I got dried off and then I was happy again.

I will probably go out later and no doubt I will get a wee bit soaking wet again but as long as I get dried with some tissues and then a cuddle I don't mind at all. I think 'intrepid' might be my middle name. Squeak 'Intrepid' Mathieson-- a nice ring to that, methinks!

Just Another Monday

But a very good Monday just the same and I have liked it a lot. We were all up quite early 'cos my DH was going to the Cat Shop and my MH was in a hurry to play with her vacuum cleaner and I was desperate to get out to see what kind of day it was. It was a bit very wet and there was a wee wind, but that meant nothing at all to this intrepid little puss, so I went out and had a wander all round my favourite places before heading back inside to get my little drop of milk. I am always surprised at how well I can time this and I hardly ever miss a wee drink which is great.

The weather got a bit worser in the afternoon so I just lay on the back of my couch and helped my MH to do her puzzles and read her book when she had finished all her work. I even got some real stew when she was making the dinner and I liked that.

Just before my DH came home I asked my MH if she would play with me and she did and she let me choose which toys I wanted to play with. I had a wee think while she waited patiently and then I picked one out and she helped me to have some really good fun.

I had to have a rest until dinner time and then I went outside again for a long time and now I am snoozing on one of my favourite chairs until I have saved up enough energy to hit the fields again.

So you see, just another Monday but a good day for this adorable little puss.
