Me, Me, Me - I miaowed, and after all that nonsense about "Cats don't eat pasta" and "you won't like it", they handed it over. well, I'm not actually sure about the pasta. the tomatoey stuff was very nice but the pasta was slippery and difficult to chew.<br />secondly, the older staff had sweet chilli chicken. they always leave the best bit of chicken, which, as anybody knows, is the skin but today's was especially nice - crunchy and full of flavour. I also got the bones to clean up, as usual, but they accidentally got left with me over-night, so I've crunched them up completely.maryomhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18265044617480788043noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2381832040089846346.post-39033112690701801452009-11-22T06:19:00.000-08:002009-11-22T06:20:50.029-08:00spooky cat<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_am_VRrvam6k/SwlIljnKY-I/AAAAAAAAAiM/HZ1dS171DIg/s1600/DSCF3631.JPG"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 314px; height: 320px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_am_VRrvam6k/SwlIljnKY-I/AAAAAAAAAiM/HZ1dS171DIg/s320/DSCF3631.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5406932637686850530" border="0" /></a><br />Have I missed Halloween?maryomhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18265044617480788043noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2381832040089846346.post-12836820110340455582009-11-21T07:30:00.000-08:002009-11-21T07:32:51.160-08:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_am_VRrvam6k/SwgH9e3bjlI/AAAAAAAAAh4/oFx7t5BrZhs/s1600/DSCF4138.JPG"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 219px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_am_VRrvam6k/SwgH9e3bjlI/AAAAAAAAAh4/oFx7t5BrZhs/s320/DSCF4138.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5406580105497251410" border="0" /></a><br />sometimes the staff are sooooo stupid, I have to show them how to switch the fire on!maryomhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18265044617480788043noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2381832040089846346.post-22727174890025802912009-11-02T14:51:00.000-08:002009-11-02T14:54:14.948-08:00a good dayIt's been a good sort of day.

She doesn't understand cats. She says we cannot be trained and makes it sound like we run around out of control.<br /><br />I am The Tailless One because of a road accident which took away at least one of my lives and the vet wanted to take away the rest. My staff stood by me and I live today in harmony with them.<br /><br />They don't want me to sit on laps unless invited - I don't by agreement.<br /><br />They don't want me to sit on furniture - I don't by agreement although we do agree I may use a chair to get to my favourite spot on the window sill.<br /><br />They don't want me to go upstairs - I don't by agreement although I will sit half way up when that horrid machine that makes all that noise and eats my hair from the carpet comes out and this is by concession.<br /><br />They don't want me to bite people anymore - I don't by agreement and if I very occasionally forget I am reminded of our agreement and stop it again. I was a stray and survived by biting so surely the odd indiscretion can be forgiven?<br /><br />They don't want me to yow for food every five minutes - but hey even I have to draw the line somewhere!The Molehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15087495241495649718noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2381832040089846346.post-43246890476595990472009-08-13T15:46:00.000-07:002009-08-13T16:00:27.715-07:00tomatoes<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_am_VRrvam6k/SoSaoFZF_nI/AAAAAAAAAO0/-CACg4kvxSM/s1600-h/DSCF3336.JPG"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_am_VRrvam6k/SoSaoFZF_nI/AAAAAAAAAO0/-CACg4kvxSM/s320/DSCF3336.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5369586669165346418" border="0" /></a><br />It seems the staff have been keeping things from me.
