Useless!

Not posted in ages, I took the tab off my toolbar thinking I would still remember to blog, but no, out of sight out of mind I guess, anyway, what's the news?
Well, it seems that Eddie isn't all that happy with any other cats on his turf, there have been staring matches with his nemesis 'the hitler cat', and rooftop meowing scenes with 'ginger cat'. Ginger cat seems to quite like Lucy though, a couple of times she has come back to the house in rather a good mood, so its looking like romance is in the air! Such a shame she has been 'done', I would love to have little fluffy kittens running about, but then again it would be heartbreaking to give them away :(
In toy news, it seems that even though both cats have beds full of toys, they much prefer to play with a kinder egg plastic shell with biscuits in, a plastic drinking straw and Lucy has developed a love for my high heel foot cushions, to the point where I can't leave them in the shoes, I have to hide them from her or they go missing and I have to hunt all over the house!
I think the christmas tree maybe going up this weekend, that should be fun, I can see Lucy trying to climb it, not to mention the excitement all that tinsle will bring! At least it will be a source of many a LOLcat photo!

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!
