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.

I could not believe my eyes!

The postman delivered the letters through our letter box yesterday. I saw a little heap on the door mat. I can’t pick them up as my paws are too big and fluffy.

Mummy Sian gathered the letters up and said “Ooh - there’s a postcard for you Callie. Look, here it is.”

I jumped up onto the back of the sette so I could look at it and saw there was a very pretty picture at the top and and a drawing at the bottom of a very beautiful cat. That must surely be me! I can see my pretty ears and my handsome furry tail, so yes, that’s me!

On the other side of the postcard there is a picture of a very strange ginger coloured animal.

Do you think could be me? Surely not! It looks a very funny animal to me.

I’ve seen dogs on a lead with their owners as they pass my house. But I’ve never seen one with such a funny face and long neck. Is that why he has to wear his hat over his nose?

I wonder if could it be a giraffe?

Or perhaps it’s a galloping horse that Daddy Roy likes watching on TV as he shouts lots of numbers and funny words.

I wonder who it’s from? Mummy turned the postcard over so I could read the words.

I’m pretty clever but I needed to ask Mummy to help with some of the words. The most important words I can see is my name at the top – ‘dear Callie’ (oh how lovely that someone calls me ‘dear’).

The other important words are on the bottom which say ‘luv from Anna’ and then a whole row of kisses – how many can I count? at least 8 I think (I had to count on all my paws – twice) and then a whole row of hearts. This means that Anna loves me ooooooo how lovely. I love you too Anna.

I hope you didn’t tell that big ginger creature you loved him as well as me Anna - I would be very jealous.

Thank you for sending me my very own postcard – my first, very own postcard. I’m glad you had a lovely holiday by the seaside with Cara.

Summer days

We don’t have to go to school, do we Jack because we’re cats? But Cara, Anna, Amelie and Bea will be starting school soon. Freya, Sebastian, Jowan and Tristan will go to school when they are older.

I wish I could go to school but I don’t think I’m clever enough. Are you a clever cat, Jack?

I like to think a lot, but I can’t do any writing like Cara, Anna, Amelie and Bea, who are really clever. I sit in the garden and look around and just think. I like to sit in different places to have a different sort of think. Here I am sitting on the wall looking out at the garden – having a think.

I sometimes sit in the compost heap and think . . . thoughts! I don’t know what I think about. Do you?

Sometimes I sit in the shade if it is hot – and think about not being hot.

Sometimes I like to hide in a hidey sort of place behind the plants in the garden. Can you see me hiding . . . .and thinking?

Sometimes I think in the greenhouse if it is raining. I think about the rain and watch the tomatoes and cucumbers growing bigger.

I think that’s enough thinking for now. I can feel my eyelids are closing. I’ll do more thinking tomorrow – it is very tiring to think all the time! I’m so pleased I don’t have to go to school as well.

I’m on holiday!

I’m so happy to be in my garden. Roy and Sian have gone to Cornwall to see Uncle John so I’m home alone.

Aunty Charlotte from next door (Moley’s mum) is looking after me. Mummy (Sian) made me promise to be a good cat while she was away.

Last time Aunty Charlotte looked after me I wouldn’t come in at night and she had to come twice to get me safely indoors!  But I love being in my garden

So I promised to be good this time.

Well, a little bit good!

I like to play in the garden. I can roll this way and then the other way

I can leap into the air

…and stand on my head…

….. I try to catch flies….

…and walk on tippee toes…..

I can climb up a wall!

…. and slide down a slope…

…and best of all… curl up asleep…..

And no-one can see me…. except you!

A lovely letter from Cara and Anna

I was so excited – my very first letter ever – and it was from some of my favourite people – Cara and Anna who live in Cardiff with Jack the cat.

Cara’s name is in yellow and Anna’s in pink at the bottom of my letter

In the envelope was also a beautiful drawing which shows us all, Cara, Anna, their Mummy and Daddy, Sian and Roy and biggest and the most important of all in the very middle – me!

I am having a really long look at if from my favourite chair. My mummy is pointing out my very own portrait in the middle. Cara and Anna have coloured my beautiful fur colour perfectly. Don’t I look beautiful?

Thank you for such a lovely letter and drawing.

Thank you – I love you!

Kiss, purr, kiss, purr to you both – can you see my pink tongue is making a kiss to you both?
