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.

catching the last of the sun

been having a busy life lately, so I'm making the most of the end of summer's sun and catching up on some beauty sleep.

Puddin the Magnificent!

I don't like Joanna Lumley very much. She doesn't understand cats. She says we cannot be trained and makes it sound like we run around out of control.

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.

They don't want me to sit on laps unless invited - I don't by agreement.

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.

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.

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?

They don't want me to yow for food every five minutes - but hey even I have to draw the line somewhere!

tomatoes

It seems the staff have been keeping things from me. They had something for their dinner today and it looked very tasty."NO" they said "you won't like it, it's not cat food. It's pasta and tomatoes"
A little visitor left some ( a waste, I think) so I persuaded them to let me try - and its delicious. They've been deliberately keeping this from me for years!

Lessons

Been trying to learn a new trick today from my butler. He was trying to help me learn the correct sound of a cat on a motorway..... meeeeeeeeeooooooooow, but I struggle with the doppler effect. Meow.

a busy life

sometimes life is just soooo hard for a cat.

make sure to have a little "down time" every day

excellent day

an excellent day today - food-wise, at least. the youngest member of staff had tinned salmon at lunch - there's always a delicious tin to clean after this. THEN, the staff had roast chicken for dinner and remembered to give me the best bit - nice crispy skin. yum, yum.
