The passing of a friend

Very sadly, Puddin, The tailless one passed away during the night of 17th-18th December 2009.

He passed away quietly and has left very tearful friends.

Rest quietly my friend.

potato wedge

not a very clear picture, I'm afraid, but this is a delicacy called "potato wedge". it tastes good, slightly crunchy but not too hard for an old cat with teeth missing and best of all, I chased it all round the kitchen, out into the hall and back again before settling down to eat it - you can get your claws really in to it and give it a good flip to travel further.

supper time treats

two exciting things for supper today.
first, the youngest staff member had a visitor who left some pasta and tomatoes. 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.
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.

spooky cat

Have I missed Halloween?

sometimes the staff are sooooo stupid, I have to show them how to switch the fire on!

a good day

It's been a good sort of day. Staff went shopping this morning and brought some cheese and onion crisps which I made them share. THEN, we had chicken drumsticks for dinner with lots of lovely bits for me. Yum, yum.

presents from Wales

the staff have been off gallivanting again but at least this time they've brought me a present - a packet of salt and vinegar crisps, all the way from Wales. How generous is that? -not very, normally people buy cat toys or something cool. I really love them though - crisps, not my staff.
