The Old Ladies

Spooky and Muppet are our 'old ladies':o)

They're about 11 and very different characters, even though they're sisters. We've had them from being kittens.

Spooky the tuxedo type, is very vocal and outgoing......with a blummin annoying miaow...she's good with the old decibels and repeats!! She loves cuddling up....for ages:o)))

Muppet is shy and still won't come willingly to me when I call her.....only on her terms...which is usually to either cuddle up or hide behind me when the others play chase. She's a proper, shy semi-feral and so loves hidey holes, like the cat carrier she's pictured in.

Anyway, they have been lording it in my bedroom for weeks. Safe haven from the other mogs when they get too hyper..... and those nasty outsiders who like picking off and shooting animals just for the hell of it!! Muppet's wound has healed up and she ain't ever going to be allowed roam out again. But, a super, dooper cat run is going to be built for the mogs so they can go 'outside' and be safe.

So, last night. Me....suffering with stiff board like joints and a REALLY painful stiff neck..finds the old ladies in kitten mode. Hop, skipping and jumping all over the place. Play fighting, trilling away....just like the younger lot:o) They are happy.

Then they conked out......for AGES!!! Sleep:o) lol

And, my joints feel much better, along with neck. My girlies made Mummy better! lol

THE MOGS

Bart-Ginger and white boy. Big lad, little meow:o) Snoozing partner of Tinks. Very cuddly. Always looks scruffy. Olive's first born:o)
Henry VIII- Black and white. A cute, active fellow who loves Cilla. One half of the Chuckle Brothers. Eighth kitten in the house, hence the 'title'. lol Olive's no 4, after Meg's 4.
Honey Pot- Black, big round eyes. Well trained by Junior. Besotted with one another. She is Megan's daughter and quite titchy.
Jimmy - Tuxedo and getting on a big. Bit large around the waistline. He is Mother's cat but he has to live with us. Lives a life of luxury, thanks to Mother. Likes tuna and sleep:o) Very quiet gentleman who is no trouble at all:o) Junior's charge.
LooLoo- Black fluffy. Expert at balancing on dining chairs or anything beam like. A delicate little soul.. She is my pick from Olive's first litter (but we kept them all..how could we choose?) She has the tiniest of miaows but is steely in determination when it comes to fussing her. She won't let you stop with the fussing and stroking until she says so!! Olive's second born.
Megan- Grumpy of late. Entitled to it. One of the matriarchs. Junior's No 1 cat. She came to us via my brother, who rescued her, together with Popeye and Olive when they were 6 weeks old.
Muppet- Feral and elderly. Still gives us a run for our money!! She just HATES being inside.
Olive- Sweet, tri coloured, fluffy. She lets me sleep in my own bed! A dedicated mum. A bit potty and her waistline seems to be expanding to Garfield proportions, even though she runs around alot. Had her from a 6 week old. She was attacked by a dog when she was 12 weeks old and had to have her jaw and palate wired up. Thought we were going to lose her, but she's a brave little thing. There's just something special about her. She's my favourite because of what she's gone through. A bit naughty, though. She takes great delight in tormenting Spooky and Muppet, who just don't want to play!!
Popeye-Daddyo:o) Sweet natured and loyal. Black shiny coat. Very strong...he can headbut a heavy dog crate to escape outside!! I often wake up to find him snoozing beside me. All protective:o) He came here at 6 weeks of age and now is a handsome lad.
Ringo- Talkative Felix lookalike. Sweet. Likes his own bed and is the other half of the Chuckle Brothers. He has an almost Siamese miaow. Has soulful, beautiful eyes. When he decides to give you a cuddle, he plonks himself on you and won't budge!! lol He is Olive's no 5.
Spooky-Muppet's sister. Very talkative and cantankerous! You can hear her up the road!! She likes to pad on your knee.....ow!!!
Tinkabelle-brindle coloured. Sweet, slender and trills for England! Snoozing partner of Bart. She is absolutely hyper!! Loves looking out of the window. She, Bart and Olive are the fly catchers and can often be heard jumping up against the garden room windows in attempts to catch the little creatures...which are, unfortunately, usually on the other side of the glass! lol Olive's No 3.
