An Aroma

2012-02-10T09:10:00.000Z

Mum is in the kitchen

I've heard the oven door!

I'll just sit here very quietly for a while

and see if it's something beginning with C and ending in HEN

It would be a shame for it to go to waste!

Air Mail

2012-02-09T08:52:00.000Z

The post lady came to call

and there was a package for us

Mum said I could open it

and there was a delicious smell

it made me behave all silly

which is very unusual for me - can you see my tongue?

Mum says:

the parcel was wrapped in sealed plastic and I couldn't smell anything but Lucy was behaving as though it was nip.

What do you think it was???

Lucy has gone to her tabby cat club

I'm staying home with Mum

Having a photo shoot without having to share the camera.

Ears on Alert

2012-02-06T08:46:00.000Z

I want to hide in my tunnel

but I'm worried I might miss something important

like the sound of lunch

so my ears are on full alert.

Sunbeam Surfing

The Snoopervisor

2012-01-28T09:05:00.000Z

Toasty Toesies

2012-01-24T08:47:00.001Z

It has been very cold here so I got Mum to move my chaise scratcher

right up close to the radiator

Mum says she doesn't know how I can lay there as it is too hot for her

but I'm just getting my toes all toasty warm.

Hannah's Clean Paw

2012-01-23T09:05:00.000Z

The sun is shining so

I decided to have a leisurely bath

and had a good nibble in my furs in case there were any little crumbs hiding

but there was nothing there so I soon got it clean

only three more to go now!

Options

2012-01-21T09:20:00.000Z

(Sighs) ......

Yes Mum I know I could be inside my sleeping bag

but I fancied a change

so I'm trying different options

The Mystery of the Missing Chickhen

2012-01-20T08:49:00.000Z

Agafur Hannah is in charge of this worrying investigation and is the most senior CSI

(Cat Safety Investigator)

in the area.

She is ably assisted by her right paw assistant

Sergeant Lucy Christie

They are searching for an evil thief who steals chickhen

out of the mouths of kittens and their Mummy cats.

This purrpetrator must be apprehended quickly and we will pay a reward for any information or clues

leading us to apprehending the culprit or culprits.

The only clue we have a present is this

trail of Dreamies which were stolen at the same time as the chickhen.

We are hoping for a quick arrest and have a pair of handcuffs

at the ready to restrain the culprit when caught

If you have any information regarding this case we promise no informers names will be mentioned,

but we need to get this purrpetrator in kitty jail quickly

When apprehended the guilty thief will be put on stinky litter tray duties without gloves and nose pegs whilst awaiting the judges verdict.

Now all of you remember to be careful out there because you don't know who is lurking and ready for mischief.

Our Nippy Pillow

2012-01-17T08:41:00.000Z

Mum gave me our nippy pillow this morning

and that first sniff was delicious

and I gave it a great big hug

before giving it the bitey

and a great big

bunny kicking session

It's a Kind of Magic

2012-01-16T08:53:00.000Z

Last week Mum got me the silvervine leaves out of hiding

and I started rolling over the floor in anticipation

and I rolled over

and over to get good sniffs

it's magic!!

btw the last picture is of a big dried leaf not a giant crawly insect

Mums!!!!!!!!!!!!

Help

2012-01-14T09:07:00.000Z

Mum

Is Anybody there?

Can anyone hear me??

I'm begging you whoever you are

Please get me down from here

The Shapely Leg

2012-01-13T09:01:00.000Z

I'm going to take my time and have a lovely relaxing bath

and I'm starting with my face

and now my ruff

now I'm onto my left front leg

have you noticed how shapely it is?

now please go away as I may be sometime

getting it just purrfect.

Thankful Thursday

2012-01-12T08:49:00.001Z

I am thankful

that Hannah can't squeeze in here with me

cos it means

all to myself

and no-one to moan at me if I wriggle about.

Keeping Fit

2012-01-10T08:53:00.000Z

To be mentally prepared for your fitness regime

do focus your mind before starting your warm up exercises

be mentally ready to attack at a moment's notice

and do remember bunny kicks are great exercise

Mouse abuse

2012-01-09T08:48:00.001Z

There's nothing like telling your mousie

that trying to run off

doesn't mean that

he's not going to get

a really good bunny kicking.

I'm watching YOU

2012-01-07T08:37:00.000Z

The Sleeping Bag

2012-01-06T08:30:00.000Z

This looks interesting

Is it empty?

I'll just investigate

No-one's looking

so I think I'll get comfy

and relax

and watch the feet passing by

Mum's New Year Resolution

2012-01-05T09:08:00.000Z

Yes Mum I know

I'm in your sleeping spot

but I don't want to move

cos I'm all toasty and warm - you know how it is when you get really cosy

Why don't you take the cold side of the bed?

The Birdies

2012-01-02T08:37:00.000Z

Mum can we come in now please

it's very cold and windy out here

but our PR exercise is done and

we've wished the birdies a Happy New Year

but they declined our invitation to come inside and get warm.

Happy New Year

2012-01-01T08:54:00.000Z

We would like to wish

all our friends

A HAPPY NEW YEAR

with good health and happiness.

New Years Eve 2011

Friday Fun

2011-12-30T09:06:00.000Z

I love my wave

I don't like Lucy to play with it

cos it's mine

all mine!!

I love to whap the pompom on the spring

and keep hoping that one day

(whispers) I will bop Lucy on the nose with it

shhhhh - don't tell anyone but I like to cuddle it too!

Thankful Thursday

2011-12-29T08:47:00.000Z

I am thankful for

a sunbeam to lay in while I take a bath

and for our Mum who lets us sleep on her

while she reads or watches TV

and for all our friends who sent us Christmas cards

and to Auntie Lupie (Bin)

who sent us this nippy pillow and

for my tunnel

which is my favourite toy

Sleepy Hannah

2011-12-28T08:31:00.000Z

We've had a great Christmas

and some lovely presents

but now it's time to sleep it off

ready for New Years Eve
.

Music to your Ears

2011-12-27T09:00:00.000Z

Yes Mum we did have some lovely presents

but isn't the sound of crinkly wrapping paper

like music to your ears?

and the bonus is its shredability!

Our Christmas Wish

2011-12-25T09:05:00.000Z

We would like to wish you all a fun and happy day filled with love and laughter.

as you can see we are relaxing

with a sniff of nip before

having our lunch

We wish all cats in need of furever homes will have their prayers answered early next year.

HAPPY CHRISTMAS TO YOU ALL

Happy Christmas

2011-12-24T08:58:00.000Z

This Christmas Eve we hope all our furrends get

a visit from Father Christmas with gifts to fill their stockings

and we hope all our furrends have a wonderful holiday with their families

HAPPY CHRISTMAS TO YOU ALL

BTW Our Secret Paws parcel arrived this morning all the way from America - Mum had to get out of bed and we meowed cos it's a wonder the delivery man didn't run away in fright!! To get her own back on us she's making us wait until tomorrow to open it. Rats!!

Cold Paws

2011-12-20T08:58:00.000Z

It was very icy here first thing this morning

and it was too cold for mum to venture out without umpteen layers

so she sent me outside

to see if I slipped over and landed on my bottom

Well of course I didn't I'm a cat

and if I had I wouldn't have showed all of you!!

No Mum

2011-12-19T08:24:00.000Z

Just because I am feeling much better Mum

it doesn't mean you can follow me round

with the flashy box

I'm Shy

2011-12-17T09:21:00.000Z

I'm feeling silly and hiding my face and

I'm sorry I've been silly because you're all my friends and I love you.

I was just so frightened but I am starting to be a little bit braver day by day.

Our 2nd Gotcha Day

2011-12-16T08:43:00.000Z

It is 2 years today since Mum rescued us from the R.S.P.C.A where she had fallen in love with us

(actually we hypnotised her when we saw her cos we thought she looked a soft touch!!)

This is our very first picture

napping on our gizzy quilt.

Mum says Lucy looks a bit scared here

but Hannah was always

her relaxed self.

However, she wasn't excited by

our first snow - (rather chilly on the paws and the bum!!)

one year later

and you can see

that Lucy clearly wasn't either!

our best time is spent in the sunshine on top of the fence watching the neighbours,

sitting on top of the roof

or relaxing in a garden chair

taking the air

or watching birdies

and we love snuggling together

We are so happy to have met you all and to have made so many wonderful friends here .

Now that's enough slush Mum

Where are the nipitinis?

Drinks all round for our friends.

.
Unfortunately Lucy is still scared of her own shadow and has stopped eating again and Mum is so worried about her. Does anyone have any suggestions?
.

Bright Eyes

Christmas Wishes ~ from us, to you

2011-12-10T09:11:00.000Z

Ann has done us a wonderful Christmas Card

If you would like one for your blog or side bar please take the size that suits you best.

Nippy Knees

2011-12-09T08:25:00.000Z

Mum put some silvervine in a bag with our new pillow to make it extra super dooper

but managed to drop some on her knee

It's the brownish mark near Hannah's chin

Mum kept saying ouchie as Hannah got a bit over excited and dug her claws into her leg

I was far more gentle

and only rested my paw there

before rubbing my head there too.

No Modesty

2011-12-08T08:53:00.000Z

The pictures of the girls and their new nippy pillow were taken a couple of weeks ago - we were waiting for Lucy to feel a little better before we posted them. She has emerged from the wardrobe at long last but is still quite unsettled and we pray she is beginning to come out of her 'black hole'

Lucky's Mum, our Auntie Lupie sent us a new nip pillow

of course I had to be the first to inhale

it was very sniffable

of course my sisfur had to poke her nose in!

and have a sniff too - and then she started kicking her legs up in the air!

She has no modesty!

Would anyone like a second hand sisfur?

Wordy and Sleepy Wednesday

2011-12-07T08:52:00.001Z

.
If you would like to take a Christmas Card from our sidebar please help yourselves - Mum apologises for not helping us to send them out individually but she is rather stressed and looking after Lucy.
.
We would also like to thank everyone who has sent us lovely comments and love to her.

Sun Puddle and Message

2011-12-06T09:15:00.000Z

It is furry cold here with night frosts so I've taken advantage of the sun today

to get some warm rays

and enjoy this comfy seat

and maybe

I might manage a nap

Lucy would like to thank everyone for their lovely messages to her on her recent problems, we hope she will soon be back to her usual cheeky ways but unfortunately her (Mum thinks) human attacker has done a lot of mental damage. We are going round very quietly and making sure we talk quietly to her on the level which usually means crawling on the floor and trying to coax her to eat one mouthful at a time. We are very sad as she is such recluse now and spends most of her time hiding. We just want our old Lucy back.
.
We have lived here over 30 years and all our cats have come and gone as they pleased - there is a row of houses at the back of us and they fence hop and go through those gardens and go into a lovely big grassy area where all the local cats congregate - this is where they went when Lucy was attacked - we can only think some new people must have moved in with very nasty minds. We don't live in a city or a town but a large village where you think there is safety.
.
Please pray for her.

Spoil Sport

2011-12-05T08:26:00.000Z

I'm feeling a bit naughty today

and dangerous to know!

I'm getting ready to whap this spring at Lucy

She's such a spoil sport.

I'll get her later.

Beam me up Scottie

2011-12-03T08:52:00.001Z

Well a girl can dream - can't she?

BTW Silvervine is like nip but stronger.

A Sunny Start

2011-12-02T10:31:00.000Z

before the cloud creeps back in

In fact it's turning chilly again now

I've discovered it doesn't taste so good

I hope so

We are delighted you like our Christmas Header - we love it too. The very talented Ann of Zoology was kind enough to design and make it for us.

Monday Moanings

2011-11-28T08:29:00.000Z

You're right Hannah

Mum's shut the door and you know what that means

YES!!

We'll have to use the tradesman's entrance

What a cheek!

Who's turn is it to push this darn flap?

Guess What

2011-11-26T08:55:00.000Z

Mum insisted we both go outside

and get some fresh air

to clear our heads and get our paws safely back on the ground

Fragrant Fun

2011-11-25T08:54:00.000Z

What's all this?

It's dried leaves!

but they smell sooo good

what's this? a stick?

this smells delightful too

I must meow I feel furry relaxed

and the room is going round and round

I'll just keep hold of this stick and take a short nap

See you all later

Dancing on the Ceiling

2011-11-24T08:31:00.000Z

What's this?

it smells good

I feel all silly and giggly

and rather "spaced out"

I'm sure there's something dancing on the ceiling - or is it me?

maybe I need to rest for a while

and get my head together

See you later furrends.

Every Cloud

2011-11-23T08:48:00.000Z

Lucy is over at the Tabby Club today for their first meeting.

I thought hard and decided that every cloud

It's open house so any cat wanting a sniff is welcome

Is it the sound of dinner being prepared?

I'd better go and investigate

cos I'd hate to miss anything!

Guess What

2011-11-17T08:40:00.000Z

A parcel came for us at the weekend

and it smelled delicious

it came from far away

and our meanie mum hasn't let us have the goodies yet

2011-11-16T08:43:00.000Z

Taking the air

2011-11-15T09:18:00.000Z

It is very windy here

so I'm holding onto the fence very tightly

I don't want to get blown away

cos Lucy might eat my dinner.

As If

2011-11-14T08:28:00.000Z

We are just sittimg here as you do minding your own business

while staring at our neighbours garden

we alternate who is looking so she doesn't think we're being rude

Goodness - she's at the window now!

That was close - we've turned our backs now

in case she thinks we're being nosy.

As if!!

Remembrance Day

2011-11-11T08:40:00.001Z

Today marks 93 years since the end of the First World War on the 11th hour of the 11th day of the
11th month 1918.
.

So many young lives were lost in the hope of freedom for us all.

It is now a day of remembrance for all the lives lost in that war and also World War II and other wars including Bosnia, Korea and Afghanistan to name but a few. The many young lives lost for our freedom must never be forgotten.

The use of the poppy was inspired by a World War I poem

"In Flanders Fields"

They are supposed to be the first flowers to bloom on the graves of the dead soldiers in Flanders and the red signifies their blood.

We dedicate this post also to all the soldiers in the world who are now fighting for our safety.

We think of you and thank you all.

The Look Out

2011-11-07T08:31:00.000Z

I'm doing the early morning patrol

and it is a furry cold morning

there's nothing to report

except for cold toesies.

Bonfire Night

2011-11-05T08:28:00.000Z

It's Bonfire Night here when bonfires are lit to burn effigies of Guy Fawkes

who tried to blow up the English Houses of Parliament in 1605.

It will be very noisy and too dangerous for us to venture out.

Mum will lock the cat flap so we can't escape.

So we will be doing this

and this

We also hope there will not be too many LOUD BANGS

Bye

Friday Fence Patrol

2011-10-28T08:48:00.000+01:00

We thought it was a while since we'd walked down the fences at the back

so we set off to see if anything exciting was happening

Lucy led the way across the neighbours fence

and Hannah paused to nose into their garden

but then carried on to catch Lucy up

however, there was nothing new to report so she decided to return home

in case her chicken lunch was ready.

Lucy followed her a few minutes later.

No Dirty Paws here

2011-10-27T08:37:00.000+01:00

I like to do it from up here

so I don't get asked to dig holes for them to plant their spring bulbs

I don't want dirty paws.

Tuesday morning started gently for Hannah

with a gentle wash of her furs

she likes to take her time and inspect each section of furs

Monday Meows

We've not got much to report on over the weekend

Hannah snoozed on top of the sofa in the sunshine

all day on Sunday and Lucy

slept peacefully on top of the chair back

there were a couple of short breaks for noms

and then another session of zzzz and zzzz started again.

Message for Tees - get your butt back home Marg is worried about you and so is Lucy - expect a couple of good telling offs!!
