Life goes on.....

Since I got out of Prison things have settled down very satisfactorily. It's as if the whole business made The Assistant more contented with our lifestyle & she doesn't complain as much as she used to do.

I have also found another way to make her smile. I wait outside until she comes out with Dog Monster for his Last Walk of the Night. It's always after a radio programme in the evening - 'dumtedum' or something like that. Dog Monster usually barks as they set off. 

I then appear from a nearby garden & accompany them all the way round the block

She loves it, especially if I run alongside the Dog Monster so we're walking together

We've also got a new pod to sit in outside if she isn't around when we want to come in. It's here in a picture with the other two. It's pretty cool, don't you think?

Things can be quite harmonious although me & Thomas still have sparring matches. Shirley-who-lives-opposite laughs at us & says we're like wrestlers. 

I've been perfecting my Loaf posture. What do you think? Should I win a prize?

So, life goes on & the household is pretty happy. So long as she remembers I need lots of Dreamies & Thomas gets his chicken we co-operate. We don't wake her up early every day now as it's dark in the mornings. But we do chase up & down stairs when we think it's time for our breakfasts.

PRISON!

The Assistant is very ashamed of herself but I am going to tell you what she did. She took me to a strange place and left me there for four whole nights on my own. I was bemused to say the least.

She has apologised many times and swears she will never, ever do it again. 

I am turning it to my advantage though.

She can't do enough for me now

I have had loads of kisses and cuddles. She feels bad about it and so she should!

The Assistant and the Dog Monster went to Scotland. I don't know where that is but it's far away apparently. She thought I would be safe in the Prison and that I would be "too much trouble" for anyone else to look after. Would you believe that??

I have had the last laugh though because Thomas the Traitor, as I'm now calling him, went to stay next door with Anna and showed himself up! They thought he would be easy to look after......

You see, he looks cute doesn't he?

There were various difficulties, mainly because T the T is very stubborn and very determined and he snores!!

But the Best Bit is 

he was seen playing with, and killing, a mouse!

 Right there in the front street!! 

So now it leaves some doubt as to who has brought all the dead bodies. I was getting blamed for all of them, but not any more. 

Ha Ha Ha!

We won't be sleeping together like this again in a hurry! 

Thomas has been hissing at me since I returned. I am reminded that I was mean to him for the first day he moved here. 

I think he thought I'd gone for good and he was well and truly in with both the Assistant and Anna-next-door.

Anyway, the Assistant has learned her lesson from this. 

She didn't really enjoy her holiday and Dog Monster was very unsettled apparently. 

In some ways I have come off best but don't tell her that.

Harmony will be restored but not before I've milked it for all it's worth!

See you next time

Late Nights

Greetings once again

I thought you would like to see some photos of me looking rather good

I have to apologise for the Assistant. She says she's been rather busy recently so has failed to help with my post.

She has finally decided to do her job.....

I have been busy myself. I have a task to perform every day. 

I observe Jim & Shirley's bird feeders each morning

Jim tuts a bit at me 

They get some interesting birds on there. They seem to like watching them, as do I.

I also monitor the back fences but here I'm checking for mice.

As you can see I have a large area to cover.

I have called this post 'Late Nights' as I need to stay out late to complete all my tasks.

The Assistant saw a dead mouse in the next road recently. 

She blamed me!! 

Well, it could have been me but I'm not telling her that!

She wants me to put this photo in as she says it makes her happy

This one made her laugh when she came back & saw us waiting

This makes her happy too. Dog Monster always has to be in doesn't he

Bye for now!

A lot of rain

Even the Assistant thinks there's too much rain. She finds it a challenge to get Dog Monster out for his regular walks. On this wet morning the house is very peaceful as we all know we may as well sleep given the weather outside.

Me & Thomas are getting on just fine. I have turned my attacks on to Dog Monster but even when I jump on him he just growls a bit & moves away. He gets to go for lots of excursions.

Thomas sleeps with his paw across his face when he doesn't want to be disturbed

He & Dog Monster are very tolerant of one another. Even when DM jumps on the bed to bark at the birds Thomas doesn't move

I had a bit of an adventure the other morning. I had woken up early. She said the bright moon made it seem like morning & sent me out. I was a bit bored out there & wondered if I could jump on top of the big fence between our garden & Anna-next-door's garden. So I did it but I couldn't get down!

I had to shout for the Assistant who laughed at me!!

I like playing through the bannisters




Here's me looking pretty cute I think

And on the stairs

  Thanks for reading. See you next time

Sick, Poo and Complaints 

Sorry about the headline Readers & also for the delay in writing. Summer is a busy time & I have to fulfil my Cat duties. I am outside a lot.
Also, I have had a complaint about my last post! I know, it's a bit of a cheek isn't it? It's OK though, it's only from the Assistant.
Get this - she complained that I made it sound as if she's always complaining!

I gave her a nice cuddle the other night & she really liked it. She says she realises now that Thomas isn't quite the Angel she thought he was & that he is actually quite determined to get his own way & to dominate!

She still adores him though.
He's clever, always cuddling her & purring.

I'm a bit more my own person.

I haven't owned up to having a poorly tummy last week resulting in sick on the carpet, & also the runny poo. (Sorry Readers, but these are her obsessions recently). I think it may have been that frog I ate but she didn't actually see me eat it so she has no proof. I am not admitting responsibility for yesterday's stuff on the carpet & the nice rug either. She says there's "always something" & includes Dog Monster in her grumbles as he's no Angel either.

We have some harmonious times. Sometimes the evening are very peaceful when we are all together. The Assistant likes it & ceases her complaining for a bit.

Here are pictures of both of us on the railway line at the back.

Sometimes we go out together.

This is where I mostly abandon the collars. I have now got rid of  4 - or is it 5? She has bought yet another big bell for me - she just doesn't seem to realise it stops me having fun with the birds!





She keeps on having "bright ideas". The latest today is she might shut both of us cats downstairs tonight so she can get some sleep. She thinks Dog Monster would then be able to choose where he sleeps upstairs, like he used to before we arrived, & he would be more settled. He sometimes wakes her up too, it's not just us. I think Thomas has a good meow on him & might just howl all night!

Dog Monster is still very spoiled in my opinion. Here he is with Anna-next-door who comes to play most mornings. She's nice to us too although a bit overfond of Thomas if I'm honest. She still calls me "Trouble" as in "Here comes Trouble" when I appear.

Someone said this looked like yin/yang cat

Thanks for reading. For all her complaining we have the Assistant under control. She feeds us plenty & my tummy is quite big now. She says we are good in some ways, like we come in when she calls us. She loves us really.

Getting Used to Each Other

It feels as if I am always reporting how the Assistant gets annoyed with me. This time it was more with Thomas. It's her own fault. She had high ideas that Thomas was very virtuous & he managed to give that impression until yesterday when she saw something she maybe shouldn't have.

The Assistant gets excited when we are calm & peaceful together, especially in the evenings. She & Dog Monster stay in her bedroom & we now sleep as near as possible. Easy to get up & meep at her to wake up early!

       
                  Thomas was sleeping in the sun this morning.......

........so I went to bother him.











He told me to go away







So I went & found a bee to investigate

Thomas is dominating me! I let him as it's fun to have a friend. This is another occasion where I went to bother him while he was sleeping.

Can you see his tongue? He's washing my head!

I know some of you like to see the Dog Monster. Here is a picture from this morning. He is kept in by a fence now. Me & Thomas can go under to get in & out. Sometimes we jump over but Dog Monster can't.

Anyway, the thing she shouldn't have seen which caused a lot of trouble - you won't be surprised to hear that I started it by fetching a mouse. As Thomas was outside & seemed interested, I showed it to him. She had already chased me off twice & was about to again when Thomas picked up the mouse &, in no time at all, stuffed it in his mouth & ate it! The lot, no bits left. She saw it all.

He looks so cute mostly

She left us outside all afternoon! Luckily it was a nice day or I might have had to call the RSPCA, aka Anna-Next-Door, to let us back in.

Then for tea we only got a little bit of food, she said she was so mad we didn't deserve any if we ate mice. Well, I hadn't eaten that one. 

She said Thomas might be sick again. I let her blame him for any sick left around in-doors seeing as I get blamed for most everything else.

We're all friends again today. Until the next time!

Peace & Love

Love from Othello / Jason
