Up on the roooooooof...

Yesterday Lucy had an adventure onto the back door porch roof, it was a big jump up there from the window sil, espically for such a little cat, but she made it! Then she wandered round in circles a few times before looking into the window at myself and my Mum sitting at the table, she had 'help me' written on her face, she was stuck!
So I had to drag a chair to the window, stand with one foot on there, one on the window sil, hanging out of the window, in my pj's and slippers and then I scooped her down, much to the amusement of both my Mum and Eddie, who was watching too.

Day of Adventures!

The cats have been out properly today for the first time, they have been out in the yard before, but today we let them out into the backs to wander free. We would have let them do this a couple of weeks ago but we didn't know how they would be with the fireworks, so we kept them in until they had finished.
Lucy doesn't seem to be very interested in anything that lies beyond the walls of the yard, but Eddie did have a wander, a few houses down, either way and had a chat to the cat we call Hitler, due to his markings looking like a small tache and side parted hair.
I'm thinking that neither of the cats will be the ones that wander very far or go missing for days, I hope not anyway, the house is so empty when they aren't here, I miss their silly antics! Today Stu had to do the washing up earlier than he wanted to as Lucy wouldn't stop licking the bowl and saucepan he had made his chicken soup in! I'm starting to think that she is part labrador, as she seems to like to eat anything at all, she was trying to munch our chinese takeaway a few nights ago, and quite likes the crumbs of anything she can get hold of! Silly cat!

Birthday!

Today was my birthday and I think Lucy has enjoyed it even more than I have! She has been introduced to bubbles for the first time and didn't quite know what to make of them as she couldn't attack them, or eat them! She was so sweet watching them fall and then looking confused, head on one side, when they popped. Eddie seemed to enjoy watching them, but doesn't get that excited about them, he's old and sophisticated at the grand age of two!


Lucy also had lots of fun with the wrapping paper, attacking it and climbing about in the pile. Stu says she was 'helping' him to wrap the presents up too, so I'm quite impressed they didn't get ripped open in the intervening days in the study.

Recycled playthings

Today I decided to create a small cat house for 'the kids' out of a box, its a beautiful creation I have to say (ha ha ha ha, if you could just see it!) To encourage the little balls of fluffy joy I have sprayed the inside of the box with the catnip spray, however currently both cats are asleep on our bed! To be honest I say our bed, when really it's only ours between the hours of 11pm-8am, any other time it is the cats domain and I am forced to sleep at daft angles across the bed so as not to disturb them! *sigh*

In other recycled toys news, the other week I put a couple of rice grains into a kinder egg plastic toy shell thingi, and it still remains one of Lucy's favorite toys! The house is full of damn cat toys and what does she like to play with, the thing I made randomly for free! Just like kids, you buy them a wonderfully expensive exciting gift and what do they do? Play with the box of course! Ahhh well in the days of skintness that are upon us at the moment, I'm quite happy the cats are amused by simple things!

Oh Hai!

Today I have been in bed all day as my back has been sore, but of course I haven't been alone! I came up with an invention, so I drew it out on some paper which wasn't all that easy thanks to the 'help' that came in the form of a small fluffy body. Lucy decided that it would be fun to eat the end of the pencil I was drawing with, so I had to give up said pencil and start to use another! I'm being bullied by cats!
