A Strange Monday

So. The alarm went off as usual on a Monday morning. My DH got up and got ready to go to the Cat Shop and then me and my MH got up. My MH was looking out of the window and she saw the Hamnavoe sailing into Stromness but she didn't see the Graemsay sailing out as it should have been and just as she was mentioning this to my DH he got a message on his phone to say that the boat was broke and couldn't come to get him! Oh dear, he was not a happy DH 'cos he couldn't get to the shop. Shame. However, my MH found him lots of little jobs to do which made him a wee bit less not happy.

I have had a very quiet day and have been sleeping lots but I have enjoyed my day. It was a bit cool and there was some rain but it didn't keep me in and I was happy getting out to explore and wander whenever I needed to and I only got wet once. I really don't mind getting wet 'cos it always means that one of my humans dries me off and then cuddles me and you know how much I like that.

I was a bit annoyed at the old dear last night 'cos I was lying on her knee watching Poldark and enjoying a little rest, when she snuck up behind me and put the awful wormer stuff on me again. To be honest, I didn't really notice until I smelled it and then I scooted under my couch but, as the old dear mentioned, it was a tad too late then.

Oh, I hate when she is right! Hee hee

Nearly Normal...

.... but not quite. Well, the old dears went away to the Halloween party last night all dressed up as a scary witch and wizard and it was not a pretty sight as you will see for yourself. So if you are of a nervous disposition, read all about me tomorrow and miss out today's!

It was a fine night so the window was left open for me to get out to play whenever I wanted, and to be honest, they weren't away too long and when they comed home again I was able to sit beside my MH while she told me about all the people who were dressed up as silly as they were, so at least it is not just my humans who do these things.

I had a wee unexpected adventure through the night. My MH had to get up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom and then she put out a wee biscuit for me. Now, normally I just follow her around but when I didn't appear, she went looking for me and couldn't fine me anywhere. I must add that she didn't have her glasses on, although I don't think that would have made any difference at all. She looked all over the house then she called out of the window. She opened the door and called for me but I didn't appear. She was a wee bit worried and didn't know what she was going to do 'cos she was still a bit tired and wanted to go back to sleep but was too worried about what had happened to yours truly, but then she went back into the bathroom for something and who was sitting in the middle of the floor? Yes, me, Squeak! The silly old MH hadn't seen me going into the bathroom with her, didn't know I was there and shut me in! Doh!

I decided I wanted to go out so she left the window open for me and I went out into the night which was as black as me--without the white bits!--and I had good fun before I nipped back into my bed for a snooze.

Today was a good day so I was out a lot. My humans were away out for the afternoon 'cos the lifeboat peoples came to my little island for a visit and when my MH came home she told me that she had been for a sail on the lifeboat, but my DH missed it. Oh dear, not a happy DH!

So we have had a good day and as it is still a very fine night, I shall be heading outside again as soon as I have finished this little nap and I am looking forward to that. I hope you have had a good weekend too.

Bah Humbug!

Can you say 'bah humbug' for Halloween, I wonder? But being a pussy cat, I can say anything I like.

I was having a very good day and because it was Saturday we were all at home together. Somebody phoned my house very early in this morning, so after my MH had answered the phone, she gave me something to eat and then decided it was still too early to get up, so we snuggled up for another sleep together until it was the proper time to get up.

Me and the old dear watched her television programme. You know the one where the lady solves all the murders that the police haven't a clue about? Somebody says something to her every week and she says 'Of course. NOW I know who the killer is' and me and the old dear have a wee chuckle, but my MH loves that programme and I get to sit on her knee while it is on, so I ain't complaining!

I was in and out a few times and generally having good fun until I saw my DH disappear into our loft and then come back again with all the Halloween stuff and I knew I wasn't going to be watching Strictly tonight. Boo!

There is a party in the Hall and my MH plays all the games with the little childrens but pusscats aren't allowed so I shall have to be very patient until they come back to me again and then I get lots of attention while they tell me all about it.

And of course I shall give you all the news tomorrow.OK?

Fantastic Friday

I have had a crackin' day. The weather was awful, but I didn't mind one tiny little bit 'cos my mood was very good and not even a gale or pouring rain could interfere with that!

It was just me and my MH in my house today 'cos my DH had to do something in Stromness and for a while I was concerned that I wouldn't have my usual string fun 'cos our box is too heavy for my MH to carry, but suddenly our door opened and there were our friends N.and M.with our boxes. Yippee!

I waited patiently until all the groceries were away and then I asked if my MH would play with me and of course she did. We played with the string and then I jumped in and out of the boxes and had the brilliantest time ever and I made the old dear laugh which I like.

We played for a while on top of my bed and then a funny thing happened. My MH had been playing with me and tickling me wrapped up in my blanket and then she lied down for a minute and we both falled asleep! I must have tired the poor old soul with all my playing.

It has been very wet, but I have been in and out lots of times but as usual when it is wet, just for little trips and I have liked it lots and lots. I will be going out again before bed time and I think the wind is getting a wee bit quieter so I might stay out for a long time.

Sorry DH!

Better

We were all in my house together today and that's just the way I like it. I am fine when I am on my own, but just not as happy as when my humans are here with me 'cos I know that if I need a feed or a drink or a cuddle, I just have to ask and it is there for me right away. Which is just as it should be, is it not?

My MH was busy with her housework so me and my DH had some time together and then he decided he would make some bolognaise sauce for the dinner so I helped him and got a wee bit of mince which I gobbled up and enjoyed.

I had a lie down for a rest and every wee while my MH would come and sit with me and give me a cuddle and as soon as I heard the vacuum cleaner getting put away I ran into the living room and just waited for my MH to come in so that I could sit on her knee. That was good fun..

I have been out playing quite a lot even though it has been a wet and windy day and one time I made my humans shake their heads 'cos they didn't understand me. I do that to my DH lots of times, but my MH usually understands me. However, today I flummoxed both of them. I went out when it was dry but the rain came on and I got soaking wet. I ran home and my DH made me all dry, but then I just walked to the door and asked to be let out again even though it was still pouring with rain.

They will never understand me!!

A Wee Bit Lonely

I knew as soon as we got up that I was going to be left on my own today 'cos my MH put on her clothes for going to the town instead of her staying at home clothes, so while I was having my breakfast, I thought up a cunning plan. I would go out and not come in again and I knew that the weather wasn't good enough to leave the window open, so the way I figured it, my DH had to go to the Cat Shop, but my MH would stay home with me. Ingenious, was it not? Well, it would have been except for the fact that it was cold, wet and windy and I had only been out ten minutes and already I was wet and cold, so I decided to give in and go home.

They both went away but before they left, my MH told me she loved me and that they would both be home soon, so I just settled down and had a snooze till they comed back again and then I ran to meet them and got a big cuddle from the old dear.

I watched as they put away all the messages and then I did my silly run into the bedroom which is a sign I want to play and of course, because my MH was feeling guilty at having abandoned me, she played with me and I loved it. We played for a long time and I was very happy.

I did manage a couple of short trips outside, but it is still a bit windy and rather cool, so I think I will probably be spending a lot of the evening on my MH's lap.

Bliss!

Not Much News

It has just been a normal day at my house today. We have all been a wee bit busy just doing all the wee things that we needed to do.

It started off with me and my MH changing the sheets and the duvet covers on my beds and we had very good fun while we were doing it. It is one of my favourite times and I just love helping her. I get lots of tickles and cuddles while I am helping her and you know how much I love that. My DH was doing bits of work in our greenhouse and we are still getting lots of lovely tomatoes which makes the old dear very happy. My DH is quite pleased with himself too, I might add.

I was happy playing outside 'cos it was a fine day although it was a bit cool, so my trips outside were lots but little if you know what I mean. My MH was busy making some more of her cards and when I was having a rest I just lay on the back of my couch and watched her and every now and then, she would stretch across and stroke my adorable little head and that made me very happy.

So, although I don't have much news for you, I have had a good day and I hope that you have had a good day too.
