Summer flower girls

It has been so warm this summer that we’ve been having our breakfast in the garden. Mummy puts mine on a wooden table and she has her cereal and fruit juice.

I like eating mine in the garden rather than on the kitchen floor.

There are lots of flowers in our garden and when I saw the lovely flower head band that Cara wore during her flower dance at the Eisteddford, I wanted a flower head band too to look as beautiful as Cara.

So I looked round the garden and chose my flowers.

Do you like my flower headband?

Now I’m going to learn to dance.

First I stretch to warm up. Do you do this too Cara?

Then I do a little twirl with my head on one side. Seeing this photo reminds me to keep my tongue in!

Then I do a complete twist until I’m nearly up-side-down and arms in a pretty position. This might be a bit complicated for you Cara. But perhaps you could practice it until you’re as good as me!

Pretty in pink

Someone said I was looking like an untidy scruff! 

What… me?

Just because I do a lot of rolling on the bricks

and sitting on the compost heap!

I like to roll on the bricks and sit on the compost heap (which is lovely and warm).

So, one day, Siân and Roy took me to the beauty parlour which looked exactly like the Vets where I sometimes have injections and teeth out.

 

Blow me, it was the Vets! I was a bit miserable to start with and  you can see me here looking worried.

But Bryony, the fur-dresser, was so sweet and gentle that today I had a lovely time.

Bryony found a lot of loose fur that was making me look untidy.

She combed my fur to make it look smooth and neat. Bryony said I looked like a princess now that my long fur was looking so silky. I like Bryony.

Roy and Siân agreed with her and paid her a lot of money for my new fur-do.

I think Bryony has made me look so beautiful that I feel like a princess.

Siân has made me a crown to make me look like a princess. Do you think this makes me look like a princess?

….. and I also tried a pink bow to make me look like a pretty pussy.

I hope I go back to the fur-dressers to see Bryony again. I might get another bow and perhaps a medal as well!

I hope you all like my new fur-do.

Is it Christmas yet?

I’ve tried to be very good all year but I don’t think it’s worked!
Oh dear, no-one seems to notice it’s Christmas morning!

My Christmas lights have been wrapped around my day-time house (the cold frame in the garden) for weeks!  Can you see me through the shiny lights? I’m being good aren’t I?

Do you think that Father Christmas will see that I’m trying to be a little angel?

I think it’s worked!

…. a special Christmas brekkie – of Turkey and Rabbit – delicious! Not interested in the biscuits today! Thank you Santa John.

Boy, do I need a sleep now!

Hope that Cara, Anna, Amelie, Bea, Freya and Seb all had a lovely Christmas pressie from Father Christmas as nice as mine.

Summer in my garden

I love playing around in my garden, especially when it's lovely and sunny. I like to do all sorts of things such as snoozing (the best thing), cleaning (very important when you have such long and beautiful fur like me!), chasing (a bit tiring) and most of all I like rolling and rolling until I’m dizzy.

Snoozing – in my cold frame, but only when it's cold and wet as it's too hot when it's sunny. Sian has made me a window to look out of – can you see the shape she’s made it? Who does that remind you of?
Peek-a-boo – can you see me through my cat window?

Here I am cleaning myself. I need to do this to keep my long fur looking beautiful and tidy.

I like to chase things in my garden as long as I don't have to move very far or very fast. Here you can see me playing with a moving piece of grass. Great fun until I get bored with it. Click the arrow to see the video of me playing.

But my favourite thing to do is to do rolly pollys, sometimes on the grass and sometimes on the bricks.

I like to roll and roll and roll......and stretch and stretch ......and roll again - until I get quite dizzy!

Click the arrow to see me rolling and rolling on the grass.

If you like rolling, try it on your grass too like me - it's great fun.

Enjoy your summer holidays in Cardiff, Surrey and your winter holiday in Queenstown!

May the sun shine in Somerset too so I can do lots more snoozing, cleaning, playing and rolling..................

Pretending

Freya and Bea both need nurses. Freya has her leg in a beautiful pink plaster and Bea has been poorly in hospital.

Today I have put on my nurse’s uniform and become a nurse for Freya and Bea.

Do you like my bright red cross? This means I’m a nurse.

Do you like my clean white bib?  I licked it and licked it until it was a white as snow. I’m a very clean cat, just like a nurse.

I’ll make you better Bea so you can go home from hospital to Pipnut.

I hope your leg is better soon Freya. I haven’t really broken my leg but I thought your leg looked so colourful, I wanted to have a pink leg too.

I think it looks almost as lovely as your leg - but it is a bit tight! Is your pink plaster tight?

It is also a bit itchy. Is your pink leg itchy?

I think that everyone will want a pink leg now.

Would you like a pink leg too Bea?

I expect you have some lovely big stitches on your tummy.

I would like some of those too.

So I streched myself out as much as I could and asked Mummy to draw some stitches on my tummy.

They are only pretend stitches.

How many stitches did you have Bea?

Did you have more than me?

Were they bigger?

Do you like mine?

Now I have a plaster and some stitches.

Oh dear – now I can’t open my chocolate bunnies and it’s Easter Sunday today! 

HELP!!!!

Lots of St Valentine purrs from me to all my fans

I had such a lovely sleep last night that I’m truely exhausted this morning – as you can see, I need to relax so my fur grows even longer to keep me looking beautiful.

I expect you will understand that it took a lot of energy to pose for this photo and to write these words.

But I wanted to send you all some St Valentine purrs from my lovely warm window sill.  I hope you think I look adorable surrounded by this pretty red heart.

Special purrs to Pipp-nut the hamster (affectinately called Pippi) in Surrey, Jack the cat (affectionately called Mog) in Cardiff and Bunny the rabbit in Queenstown.

I’m going to go back to sleep now. Writing this blog has been sooooooo exhausting. I think it will take me all day to recover! Bye bye, sleep tight.

Christmas knitting

I decided that I would knit some scarves to give to my friends for Christmas.

It is nearly Chrismas so I looked at all the fluffy wools that Mummy Sian had in her basket …and chose these lovely colours – that remind me of something.

Do you think that these are the most beautiful colours in the world?

When I stroke the balls of wool they remind me of my furry coat which makes me the most beautiful cat in the world don’t you think? Jack, you are the second most beautiful cat in the world of course.

Oh dear, these bendy knitting needles are so difficult to hold in my big furry paws.

I smiled sweetly at Mummy and asked her to do some knitting for me. She said she would as long as I wiped my mouth first as I had just had my tea!

So I licked my mouth and now I’m so proud of my knitting. Two furry scarves are now finished. Can you see them hanging on the chair – they are so beautiful I think they look just like me! I love rubbing against them to feel their soft fluffiness.

It’s very tiring to do so much knitting you know. I think I’ll take a rest for a while. My eyes are slowly closing.

Putting my head up-side-down helps me to sleep and look at my furry scarves at the same time.

Now to have a proper sleep on my window sill and dream of Father Christmas.

If I close my eyes very tight tonight, do you think that Father Christmas will come and visit again? Looking forward to the morning.

I hope he comes to visit you as I know how good you’ve been.
