Smelly Cat

Jimmy is a naughty lad!!

Keeps spraying in the house, even though he's been 'done'. I caught him at it yesterday. Little sod....it oinks!!

So, mop, bucket, steamer and cleaning stuff has been in use today.

Ack!

If he carries on shall have to resort to kitty pants. lol.

Anyway, Junior has been playing her Smelly Cat dvd all day.... with a few choice lyric changes. Bless.

The Great Escape

Popeye has defeated Bro in the Garden Room Saga, again.

Bro spent a week renovating and reinforcing said GR. Replaced rickety door with wood and lots of bolts. It was secure. Popeye Proof!! Hah!!!!

This morning, I went down and let the mogs into the GR where they luxuriate, sunbathe and peep at the birds, etc.

Half an hour later, Junior asks why it is so quiet? Ooooooh!!!!! She goes into GR and finds not a mog. Turns out Popeye has nudged out one of the unreinforced and previously sound panes and led his feline comrades out a la Great Escape!!

Little Barstard!! lol

Took us an hour to 'Round 'em up'. Funnily enough, Pops was the first one that Junior caught!!

Garden Room has, once again, indoor metal grilles over the windows. Classy!!

It's a Cat's Life

Aah...this white stuff called snow....plays havoc with our lot!

Jimmy is the only mog who 'goes out'. This means exiting via the garden room/lean-to greenhouse contraption door. That's okay dokey most days....but not when the roof is laden with melting snow which is prone to sliding off whenever one opens or closes this 'door'. lol... Jimmy now getting to be an expert at dodging mini avalanches! He may be an 'old lad' but he can still shift when he needs to! lol

The other mogs are lined up on the window sills at the mo.....the ones with radiators beneath:o) Bums warming nicely:o The 'Hyperactive Lot' - Popeye, Olive, Bart, Tinks, Henry and Ringo - sleep downstairs on a night. They can partay all they want there. The better behaved ones sleep upstairs...usually on my bed or some warm corner. Come morning, the Lounge lot are raring to get up here for fuss...and my bed .....to lay their weary, party animal heads on. lol The 'Upstairs Lot' usually head towards the garden room....to look out and 'ooh and ahh' at all the birds. It's COLD in there...it's a bit like a cat run/pen..some is open to the elements. A bit Brrrrrrrrr!:o)

The love of LooLoo

I have been ill of late. Knackered would be a good description.

Joints have played up, as per usual.

I couldn't get out of bed. Bones too heavy to move. It is not nice and very irritating... not being able to get up or even get to the loo on time!!

I have read up on my condition and it does not make for happy reading. I have to see the quack...quickly and perhaps sort out a will.....

Anyway....there was I.....sat on dining chair at the side of the bath..trying to get bones warmed up. Legs in hot water. You see..no way could I manouvre bod into the bath and out again!!! lol So next best thing is to dangle feet into water and hope ankle joints come back to life.

So, LooLoo jumps up on my knee. She is the most delicate looking of the mogs. A slight little soul. She demands beings petted....stroked. So, I do, even though my hand was twice the size as usual. Ten mins later I am fed up..worn out. Nope...Miss L demands more....so I stroke her more and more. This goes on for AGES. See...Miss L knows that I need to exercise the old joints so what could be better that stroking her? lol

The other cats have a knowing look, too. Been keeping my body warm, as I have been bed bound. I honestly felt like my bones were made of ice and bones were about to break. They would not leave me. Maybe they felt bad, too? They certainly 'talked' to me...especially Muppet of all mogs!! She's been tucked up near me all the while, which is unusually brave of her:o)) xx Even the dog has been clingy.

So, today I feel better and the mogs and dog are being spoiled rotten. Tuna is on sale at the local shop. 2 tins for a quid! Woo hoo!!

Next door neighbour is fighting the big C. Fought it 5 times and won. It's back....no 6. I pray neighbour will see this round off, too. Could not meet a nicer person. Life is not fair sometimes, is it?

Anyway...Thank you, my babies for looking out for me:o)) xx

Today, two days later the swelling is down to near normal.

Our Babies

Sprawled out on the bed

Henry, Tinks, LooLoo, Bart and Ringo










Snoozing kitten bundle. Amazing how they are all so different ...and from a Calico. x

Wee baby Bart with Olive's leg! lol

Warm Arse

Ah.....we have plenty of mogs in this house:o)

Muppet is one of 'The Old Ladies'. A right old feline.......but gives us a run for our money:o)

She's a sweet, little old thing. But, a wiley old sod.

Anyway, I think she's cool, She knows the best places to warm her feline arse.

The top of TV is good :o))...even if you are only ever watching dvd's.

What am I going to do with you, Dear Dog?

Water trough outside garden room. Covered with metal sheet, which sometimes 'slips' off.

Water trough has been frozen of late, due to snow and freezing weather.

Dog goes in and out via back door of garden room into garden.

Dog barks to come in when she is ready:o)

When barking, dog sometimes sits on top of metal sheet which is covering water trough.....you know where this is going!!!

No more frozen water trough, due to thaw.

Dog not too bright today:o)

Wet dog! lol
