It has been a very stressful time for us here, weatherwitch was very poorly & had to be taken to her parents so H from the carers group came out to feed us for a few days, since we like her it wasn't too bad. She also made a huge fuss of us but it just wasn't weatherwitch :-(

It was fantastic to see weatherwitch home again on Sunday, Rosie & I fought for space on her lap & chest, Susie talked non-stop, mind we all did. weatherwitch cried when she saw us so I think she missed us too.

However the next day she found that we had been neglecting our duties, it seems we should have been defending the house from marauders. Instead somehow, mice got into the airing cupboard & ate the spare loo rolls. Opps ...

There I was completely hidden under the sofas throw, getting ready to pounce on weatherwitch as a game, when she walks past and grabs my tail! However did she know I was there for goodness sake? I was completely hidden!

It must be magic, damnit you can't trick a witch it seems :-(

Tilly was here earlier and managed to sort out the bits from the outhouse. I love investigating things like this, it's great fun, it's my way of helping out with the sorting :-)

I just love this cat gym from Go-Cat, it's fantastic. I love playing with the mouse and sitting on the scratchpad. Rosie sits on the scratch pad and occasionally plays with the dangly feathers. As for Susie she considers herself too old for such frivoulous behaviour. But she watches although she claims she doesn't. See? Look into the middle at the top and you can see her eyes reflecting from the bathroom doorway as she peers round but pretends not too. That's sneaky :-/

weatherwitch has finally remembered to come online so I thought I would make her check out my blog. Ok, mine and my siblings blog.



Bast, I am a really handsome fella ;-)

Cor! We did well yesterday, weatherwitch got us some new toys & I've had great fun with them. I love the long dangly ones & do great acrobats to try & catch it, (she says they're called Tail Ticklers, long stick toys with a dangly furry tail & feathers at the top), Tobacco has had great fun with toy springs which he's chased full speed across the room, but we've all been fascinated by the CyPurr Mouse. Even though Susie looked at it in disdain I'm sure she liked it really. This silver mouse is activated when we hit it then it talks to us, spins about & it's eyes flash. Tobacco has learnt to run past & hit it as he charges past, needless to say he kept doing that all evening as I was trying to sleep to recover from a days hard playing. Boys & their toys hey? Seems even feline boys like their electronic toys too *sigh*

I don't know, weatherwitch puts out fat balls for the birds to eat which keeps us all greatly entertained and then these fat little blighters come along and steal the bird food for themselves. I sat watching this fella for ages as he pulled all kinds of acrobatic stunts infront of me. I suppose he was looking for applause but he didn't get any from me. Mind he did get verbal abuse from weatherwitch when she saw what he was up seconds after this photo was taken. You can see what was what over on her journal here. She was not amused.




I was. lmao

weatherwitch had the carers review yesterday which meant Grandma Whiskas was there, the carer boss & the carer lady H who is really lovely and we all like her :-)

I said hello to everyone, then settled down onto the sofa by weatherwitch, cuddling up to her. All was well til I let rip with a completely silent but totally deadly fart. Once the smell hit me, I legged it over weatherwitch and carried on past Grandma Whiskas. Judging from the stifled noises from them both, followed by exchanged looks as they blamed me for the foul odour I gather the smell carried on with me.

If they hadn't have choked for fresh air then laughed then no-one else in the room would have known, but no, by their very actions H realised what I had done as well so I was left in pure embarrassment. Mind, given that the awful smell had stayed behind it serves them right doesn't it?!

A handsome cat like me should be allowed to fart in the peace, quiet and comfort of his own home without risk of shame or mortification :-(

You've heard of the saying raining cats & dogs? Well it's raining cats & cats out there. Despite strong winds & heavy rain both Susie & Rosie proved to me that they are totally insane & both went out into the most dreadful weather around two hours ago whilst I on the other hand have been taking it nice & easy relaxing in luxury.

They have only just come back & they are soaking wet. Daft blighters.
Look at them, both drenched & looking like drowned rats. I even left my nice warm place to investigate Rosie as I couldn't believe how wet she was. Then weatherwitch dried her with the towel & Rosies long fur went all frizzy as usual :-D

As for Susie, well, you've never heard such vile & foul language. Anyone would think weatherwitch was trying to murder her not dry her. What a racket, & she got her eyes well cleaned too as she suffers with awful summer allergies & the rain had helped that too whereas she fights weatherwitch when she tried to clean them.

But still now Rosie is happy on the dresser, Susie is hiding on top of the wardrobe & I am returning to comfort again. Hmm, should I go back to the footstool or sofa? Decisions, decisions ...

weatherwitch has been doing a bit of sewing again recently, making a few bits so I thought I'd keep her hat box of cross stitch threads nice and safe for her. I'll protect it from any marauding folk. She did panic when she saw where I was lying because she told me that I nearly gave myself an unintentional anal accupuncture treatment. Apparantly she'd left a needle tucked into the top of the box! :-O At least she removed it which is something I suppose. Bloody stitch witches *sniff*

Tilly managed to cut a huge ammount of this massive field lawn on Saturday but he ran out of energy. Whilst it's fun wading through the long grass I'd be far happier to be able to wander through easily without wondering if I'll get lost. I keep losing weatherwitch in this lot, it's ridiculous, and this is the shorter bit of the long grass left!!

There I was, enjoying a nice evening leaning against the warm radiator after the exhaustion of being out in the garden all day when weatherwitch sees me. She says how cute I look so takes a photo of me. Seconds after this I then stretch out inviting her to tickle my tummy when I lose my balance & slide in a dignified heap onto the ground. weatherwitch says it was an undignified heap, something to do with the yelp I made when I realised I was falling. But did she try & help me? Did she try & catch me to save me falling? Did she hell. She just stood there laughing. That's not nice.

Nor is making a fuss of me afterwards but still laughing :-(

weatherwitch posted the video of me peeing on the loo on YouTube at the weekend, so you can all now watch me. Self taught I am too & I'm so proud to be famous at last :-D

Ten random things about me us.

1) We love Tesco pouches food above all other brands at the moment. This will *not* last.
2) We all prefer kitten biscuits over those meant for adults or senior cat.
3) We have two cat trays & we all prefer to use the same one.
4) We love going out into the garden or the woods.
5) We love fleecy blankets & furry cushions.
6) Tobacco is scared of visitors but Rosie loves to say hello to everyone (unlike weatherwitch101! )
7) We love the open fire but to sit gazing into it rather than lying in front of it.
8) We hate the vets :-(
9) We love our Grandma Whiskas who spoils us rotten :-D
10) We often fight over who gets to share the bed with weatherwitch101!

Now we're supposed to tag 10 people to tag to do the same ten random things meme but we'll just say anyone that weatherwitch101 didn't get & wants to do it :D

weatherwitch has been sorting out the inside of the dresser for a few days nows, sorting out materials & sewing bits, it's been fascinating to watch her talking away to herself as she decides what to do with things. She had an excuse though last night as Grandma Whiskas was over so they were talking instead. But it's been even more fun to chase errant cotton reels & beads etc as they roll away in all directions. The cupboard smells great too, I know she's stored cat mint in here somewhere but I've just not been able to squeeze through everything to find it, it's so unfair :-(

Bast! It was blowing gale force winds out there yesterday, but being male I knew I was made of strong stuff so could easily cope with such piffling weather. Grandma let me out at my insistance and I ignored all her warnings of it being extremely windy out there. Sure I saw the dustbin lid go flying past yet again, plant pots go falling over but I knew I could cope with such trivalities. I went out.

I nearly got blown off my paws! I cried at the window to come in, I implored Rosie to let weatherwitch or Grandma know I was out there desperate to come in but she ignored me. Turned her back on me and walked off. Git.



They finally let me in, I had to give a wild eyed look* through the window accompanied by pathetic howling before they let me in, but I suffered, oh how I suffered out there in those strong winds.



*see here for that one as weatherwitch has fun at my expense on her lj :-( She says the pic is really funny *huh*

Today was chilly, no doubt about it, but did weatherwitch put the heating back on? Did she heck :-( So I made my protest. She'd put her washing on the radiator to dry, then said the house got too hot so she switched it off, and so I froze as the house cooled down. I decided to make my protest felt more strongly by lying on her nightie which was on the now cold radiator. One look at the pitiful expression on my face of being cold and glum, whilst I laid on the cold radiator to really show her how frozen I was and that I desperately needed heat and she gave in and switched the heating on. Yay :D

Now I know that trick works, I'm sure I'll get to use it again soon ;-)

We had a very happy halloween the other day, grandma's been over looking after weatherwitch & grandad came over for tea, plus managing to avoid all those all awful trick or treaters that their village gets. The fire was lit and it was wonderful, I definately got a halloween treat, weatherwitch lit the fire and it was so wonderfully hot, I just loved sprawling out infront of it and I lay there for ages and ages just slowly baking :-) That was purrfect, I can't wait for weatherwitch to light the fire again :-)

Bast! It's been so cold today, wet, windy, leaves finally falling off the trees but it's too damp and miserable for me to be out there chasing them. Instead I found a lovely nice warm place, and tucked myself nicely into the nice clean warm sheets in the linen shelves. I particularly chose the extra warm winter sheets to curl up in, and no-one could find me for ages. I slept for ages undisturbed until weatherwitch found me. Damn it, I was so cosy, warm and peaceful. Not to mention Tobacco didn't find me there either which was really wonderful :-)
