Basically My Mummy's been doing research, listening to and talking over bits of plot and story line, just offering a sounding board so to speak as well as needing to be on cheerleader duties when it's all seemed too much to ever accomplish... Anyway Julia's labour are here and in print at long last! :)<br /><br /><a id="link_1" href="http://pics.livejournal.com/jacqamoe/pic/00007a01/"><img src="http://pics.livejournal.com/jacqamoe/pic/00007a01/s320x240" border="0" height="240" width="152" /></a><br /><br />'Dawn of Darkness' is just the beginning of a planned 10 book series, with the 2nd book 'Curse of Night' being published in just a few weeks time. In fact book 3 is well on it's way to being publishable, while book 4 is about half written at present. So no need to worry about reading one book only to find you have ages and ages to wait until book 2 hits the shelves! Being a feline with an avid (if not obsessive) reader as their Mummy that was my greatest worry (after all she lays still and let's me get really comfy when engrossed in a good book), hence the fact that Julia is well ahead on her writing schedule and can keep this pace up too, her feline assistant Patches makes sure of this, by sharpening her claws on Julia's chair if she doesn't type fast enough! ;)<br /><br />There will be an Official website up within a few weeks too, thanks to the good folk at Red Dragon IT and My Mummy putting in a good deal of time and effort to it.<br /><br />Sorry if I've been away so long... But it's a hard life being the prototype for a whole new fantasy feline species! Oh yes, me and all of Abyssinian kind will be there larger than life in this series, starting from book 3 where one of us shows himself for the first time. Though never fear we'll be back in more detail in book 4 and on through the rest of the series! :)<br /><br />I hope you all love these books as much as I do, and find your humans willing to read them for hours at a time, giving you plenty of lap time!<br /><br />They are currently available from Amazon.co.uk as well as Arima Publishing, plus any book store can order them in for you! :)Ramseshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08601449746425084307noreply@blogger.com23tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6446863448069165075.post-39952580408545509752010-07-14T10:49:00.004+00:002010-07-14T10:58:57.274+00:00Training the next generation...<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjT0xab7Yha4bXLFnorbA67W2_uIco2V8L_aFawvJFUHpm1M4Zu04Lcoe8NfkEIF3Z3jbAMWcy9LzzCuirr9YANXhQeBssdFurORrBmjbR09DcfAq-qKd2ASHz5X59y2hMW2AEJ-FTWEpY/s1600/Day+2+-+Girl+2+at+th+milk+bar.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjT0xab7Yha4bXLFnorbA67W2_uIco2V8L_aFawvJFUHpm1M4Zu04Lcoe8NfkEIF3Z3jbAMWcy9LzzCuirr9YANXhQeBssdFurORrBmjbR09DcfAq-qKd2ASHz5X59y2hMW2AEJ-FTWEpY/s320/Day+2+-+Girl+2+at+th+milk+bar.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5493712846953101826" border="0" /></a>Here you can see one of my new little nieces at the 'milk bar' partaking of some primo 'Mother's Milk'.

She might have to stay a few weeks with him to make sure she comes home with a good belly full of kittens, but that's the plan. This will mean I have to spend more of my time on 'Uncle Duty', though I will at least have more room on the bed at night! ;) When Setra eventually has her own kittens I will be promoted to 'Great Uncle', this is 'cause I is just so darn good at being an Uncle, I'm sure... :DRamseshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08601449746425084307noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6446863448069165075.post-10749435210999674792010-07-08T11:54:00.004+00:002010-07-08T12:03:15.384+00:00I is an Uncle!Here are Isis' latest kittens, they smell good and are very clean, 'cause I helped Isis clean them off after they arrived at breakfast time on Tuesday morning!

Oh well maybe next year when we have another Aby living with us! :D<br /><br />In the meantime I have found a box of teddy's that still haven't been unpacked, so I think I shall go and sleep with them, seeing as My Mummy has a mug of coffee on the go and is therefore unlikely to help provide me with an even more enticing afternoon nap spot... ;)Ramseshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08601449746425084307noreply@blogger.com9tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6446863448069165075.post-86995654166349321822010-06-29T11:08:00.004+00:002010-06-29T11:24:40.494+00:00I've gotted a fishy pond!Once more My Mummy has been busy and keeping me from the computer... However this has been due to my Grandpur going back to Calgary, My Mummy's bestest friend Auntie Gina visiting to fuss me lots, and also because Daddy has been digging out a big hole in the garden which has now become a great big fishy pond for me to sit in the run and look at. :)<br /><br />I have made My Mummy take some photos of it, but someone has walked off with her camera download lead and so she can't help me share them with you right now... As you can no doubt understand this has made her a little grumpy, so I've had to fur her lots to help her stay calm! Oh yes, with the nice weather we've been having furring My Mummy has getting easier and easier... I furred my Auntie Gina lots too! :) So I gather that the furminator is coming out this afternoon! :( I work long and hard to get all these furs and in a matter of minutes they'll be all goned... In fact My Mummy has told all of us that we're getting a good grooming this afternoon, so that Isis is not too hot and furry when she has her kittens later this week or over the weekend. Yes, I shall be an Uncle once more! :) What is nice here is that there is lots of room for all of us and the kittens too, however this means that I will have to walk more to do my Uncle patrol thingy for Isis and the kittens... I shall soon be a lean, clean, purring machine! ;)<br /><br />Talking of having visitors, I hear that there is a good chance that we shall have visitors from France here in the New Year! :) I sure hope they bring Tigmut'hep some Matatabi with them, as he's not been able to find any more as yet, which is of course tragic... To make himself feel better over this, he has taken to licking the honeysuckle wood that My Mummy bought us back from Canada, as well as snorting his Valerian scented fish and giving his catnip cigar a good kicking - all of which seem to be taking his mind off of his urge to over groom himself and give himself a 'Brazilian' as My Mummy puts it! ;) It's good to know that he's finally coming to his senses, even if he needs to remain half stoned to do so... :)Ramseshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08601449746425084307noreply@blogger.com9tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6446863448069165075.post-3372547397573306982010-06-16T13:35:00.003+00:002010-06-16T14:03:43.109+00:00Kinda sorta back...Hi everykitty, we have been mega busy in the past few months - plus My Mummy has been mega lazy! ;) We have sold our old house and moved to my new one, I know it's mine you know 'cause My Cat Run is here and so is My Mummy and My Food! On top of this there is lots of My Smell here and I've been mega busy rubbing everything else that's here to make sure everykitty knows it's all mine too... :)<br /><br />Part of the mega busy that wasn't to do with house selling, buying and moving, has been to do with My Mummy taking far too much time to help get My Nana's next book get itself edited and ready for print. When I've complained about the 97 squillion hours she's spent doing this sort of stuff, she's promised me extra chickens when it starts selling... Well you all know what a sucker I am for My Mummy and promises of chickens! I guess I shall forgive her once the chickens start rolling in, if not sooner, depending on the number and quality of the belly rubs I get from My Mummy... ;)<br /><br />Talking about My Nana's books, while much of their content is sadly not about the yummy taste of chickens, some of the series contains some amazing characters that are based almost entirely on me, my sister Isis and niece Setra! My Mummy tells me that you have to read the first 2 books in the series to get to those though, which reminds me to flex my claws next time My Nana pets me. I mean what about me is not first and foremost in her mind, morning, noon and night?! ;) The first book is Dawn of Darkness by Julia Caesar published Sept 2010, by Arima publishing, with the next book due out the following month, so you will at least get to the good bit about My 'Mist Cats' by KissMouse time! :)Ramseshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08601449746425084307noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6446863448069165075.post-3106651183973548362010-01-25T11:11:00.003+00:002010-01-25T11:24:25.809+00:00Monday's Mews!Just so that all of you know, other than being a very busy time of late for My Mummy - what with her marrying Daddy and having Grandpur living with us, while he deals with a load of health issues, it seems my sister, Isis, is pregnant yet again! <br /><br />Mummy says this is because Isis went on her honeymoon for her with a lovely looking Aussi Aby mancat called Speedy, and while this was a mixed blessing, seeing as Speedy had a heart attack out of the blue and passed away... Well it seems that he and my 'sis, had themselves a very good time before that and subsequently Isis is now decidedly rugby ball shaped and getting more so each day! ;)<br /><br />The kittens are due a few days after Setra's 1st Birthday on Feb 16th, so she will be a grown up ladycat before she becomes half-sister to a new litter of siblings. However shortly after the kittens are born, My Mummy has to go into hospital for a 3rd attempt at getting her knee fixed so that it doesn't keep going out of joint... This means I will have to be on special Uncle duties as well as spending much of my time nursing Mummy better. Daddy says he'll take a few days off work to help out too, and D'boy is practicing his cooking skills so that he can do the dinners for a few days - well it'll save d'family from Daddy's cooking, so we'z purring that he does good dinners, just like My Mummy makes! :)Ramseshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08601449746425084307noreply@blogger.com8tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6446863448069165075.post-25380827670404818582009-11-17T10:03:00.003+00:002009-11-17T10:17:38.905+00:00Tattle Tail TuesdayWell do I ever have lots to tell you all... ;) Oh yes there is so much going on around here right now, including everyone being home sick and ever so willing to let my snuggle with them in bed! :) As you might have gathered this is the best possible news for a kitty like me... ;)<br /><br />The other news is as long as everyone is over this 'stinkin cold' fast enough, little Setra will make her début as an adult at the Supreme on Saturday! However My Mummy still has to make up some show curtains for her cage and do a few other bits, apparently this will happen when her head stops 'feeling like it's about to 'splode big time' - I guess this is sensible as curtains with 'sploded Mummy head all over then would look mega yucky!<br /><br />The next big news is that Grandpur is coming to stay with us for lots of months, all the way from Canada where my lovely Marie lives. In fact her Mom has met my Grandpur so I will be sure to give him lots of sniffing so I can be sure to pick up a hint of 'My Lovely' on him! :) The day after he arrives D'Boy has a big birthday - I guess this makes him old enough to enter the next show class or something... Anyway My Mummy, Daddy and Grandpur are taking him out for a very posh dinner that might - I am therefore living in hope of a duck filled kitty bag! ;)<br /><br />Lastly there's to be a bit of a celebration on Dec 5th, when My Mummy marries My Daddy - which is not at all fair as I wanted to marry My Mummy! However, if she does have to marry anyone other than me, I guess My Daddy is ok... He does at least make room for me to snuggle up to My Mummy in bed every night! :) Just as long as he doesn't forget his place in household and try and assert any form of male dominance over me or Tigmut'hep things will be just fine... ;) <br /><br />So as you can see we're very busy here for now, so do please excuse us all... For now I had better get back to snoopervising My Mummy making up bobbing lace flowers for her bouquet! :)Ramseshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08601449746425084307noreply@blogger.com14tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6446863448069165075.post-2881102483006315592009-10-21T14:12:00.003+00:002009-10-21T14:42:46.981+00:00Wednesday Whining...Well even if we did get yummy treats last Wednesday on My Mummy's Birthday, this one saw us starved for 90 squillion hours and then dragged off to the vets for a dental... How come us boys had to suffer and those lucky girls gotted to stay at home?! It's not fair Mummy, they'ze got stinky breath too, I knows 'cause I've occasionally kissed them both... However it's me and Tigmut'hep that's been manhandled and traumatized!<br /><br />I'll have you know that Hubert (the vet) stole one of my teeths and 3 of Tigs teeth too, so iffen I see him wearing one of those necklaces with teeth on it, I'z going to have mine back thank you very much! Oh and what's this about having to take meds for 10 days now? Oh well at least I only have to take meds once a day, where as Tigmut'hep has to suffer one in the morning and one at night for 10 days... At least I have something to feel smug about! ;) Well that and I only hadded to have 1 tooth out and had almost no yucky stuff that needed scraping off... :)Ramseshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08601449746425084307noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6446863448069165075.post-31401413329925708242009-10-07T14:54:00.005+00:002009-10-07T15:20:53.694+00:00Why we've been away Wednesday...There are many reasons why I have not really blogged for months now, much has been to do with the fact that I have needed some pretty intense love and care from My Mummy in order to struggle back to a reasonable level of health. Even though I'm on meds still, I gather that I should be much better in just another week or two. I've gained some of the weight I lost which triggered this health scare off and am getting lots and lots of 'Mummy Love' and snuggles!<br /><br />However during this scary time my Grammy who had been battling cancer got really sick, it came as such a huge shock to My Mummy as she had been doing really well and the primary cancer had started to shrink quite a bit and some of the secondaries had almost disappeared! Sadly it was a very short lived up swing in her health, followed by a serious and sudden down turn that left her fighting for her life at the Tom Baker Cancer Centre in Calgary. So My Mummy gotted a brand new passsport and a booked a flight within 36 hrs of hearing this news, but sadly Grammy passed away at 8:16pm on Sept 21st, whereas My Mummy arrived in Calgary at 3:25pm on Sept 22nd. It seems to My Mummy that Grammy wanted her to remember only the good times when she had been fit and healthy, letting go of her fight just 2 hrs after she heard that My Mummy was coming over. Poor Grandpur as distraught at loosing Grammy as they had been together over 60 yrs and married for nearly a full 59.5 yrs when she passed...<br /><br />On a lighter note while in Calgary, My Mummy had an afternoon with My Marie's Mom and Evie their Blurpy. My Mummy helped Marie's Mom introduce Evie to the apparent joys of Apple Sauce and then Evie gave my Grandpur hugs and a big smile which made him laugh and smile for the first time in days. So it seems that My Maire's family have really helped Grandpur and bought him a little joy when he had been so sad for days and days. That certainly shows the power of the Blogsphere Cats! :)<br /><br />Other than that My Mummy has been good and done lots more studying and got another A+, she now only has the Module she's working on and one more to do to end the course! She's also helped us review a few more cat products for 'Your Cat' magazine, though the Litter Kwitter was a bit of a disaster... ;)<br /><br />Now to my favourite cause:<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhsDcaArGS5v-svlIUiryRhHhOgpbLvI5Q3M9b96lX3fEryYHO9KAl3-lLf7Hn3JdbxbhNz_JB5rCS26FiQ6WXn6qCkaubCxclU3LquLUAkeYj1zkxm3R4zxeLvfDd_Ee3ypVAf6eZ0D_o/s1600-h/34589001.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 269px; height: 411px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhsDcaArGS5v-svlIUiryRhHhOgpbLvI5Q3M9b96lX3fEryYHO9KAl3-lLf7Hn3JdbxbhNz_JB5rCS26FiQ6WXn6qCkaubCxclU3LquLUAkeYj1zkxm3R4zxeLvfDd_Ee3ypVAf6eZ0D_o/s320/34589001.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5389877072149041618" border="0" /></a>Ramseshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08601449746425084307noreply@blogger.com10tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6446863448069165075.post-19589280551110426182009-07-16T09:52:00.003+00:002009-07-16T10:13:50.365+00:00Thinking Thursday...Ramses here, just popping in to let you know that I'm still on the meds, but doing ok and getting lots of love from My Mummy as usual... :)<br /><br />However our lovely kitty sitter Unca' Pete's kitty Jordan is a desperately sick girl and is currently having a biopsy to see if what the Vets suspect is correct as she has suddenly developed a lump in her abdomen and is off her food and being sick... All here at Lovelynx are purring for her as you can imagine and Unca' Pete too as he is so worried for her and is suspecting the worst! :( Since Auntie Gina has cracked her ankle bone and can't walk far, she can't come see Unca' Pete this weekend, so My Mummy is going her level best to fill in for her and give Unca' Pete a shoulder to cry on as needed. It makes me so cross that some people don't understand how real kitty lovers bond with their kitties and suffer real worry, sadness and profound grief when they are sick or worse as in Jordan's case... At least My Mummy is not one of those people - well she wouldn't be My Mummy if she was! ;)<br /><br />Since there is nothing any of us can do but purr like crazy for Jordan, My Mummy is doing something positive (with our help of course) as you will see from the new link banners we are all flying for the Scottish Wildcat Association on our bloggy pages. Please take the time to learn more about these wonderful wild cousins of ours, as they are really <span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">Endangered</span> and need our help and support if they have a chance of survival! There are only about 400 of them still in the wild and a few more in a captive breeding program, where they are hoping to have kittens that can be released back into the wilds from soon. They can be found on FB, Twitter and all sorts of other Internet places now, as the campaign to bring more public awareness of their plight starts to take shape. Since My Mummy is a Feline Studies student and has actually worked hands on with a part bred Wildcat and a number of other Wild Cats over the years she is probably going to be one of the contributing writers to their up coming newsletter too.

I have in fact gained a little over 500g's back in the past few weeks and My Mummy informs me I am once more her cuddly little bundle of purry love! :) <br /><br />Hubert the vet man says he is very pleased with my progress and that he thinks there is a good chance that the worry is now over and I will be a healthy and happy boy from now on, although he told My Mummy that she should keep in a supply of the nasty gloopy stuff that makes my tummy feel better once My Mummy has forced me to swallow some of it, just to be on the safe side. But that with my recent rapid return to normal weight it shows that the bug was caught before it could permanently damage my insides and for this I should smother My Mummy in fur regularly! :) You see if she hadn't been so alert this problem could have become major and one that even a good vet might not catch to start with, as it's not that common...<br /><br />So I will take my Mummy furring seriously and hope that my tummy is at last under control and won't cause me any more ouchies or sudden weight loss. However if it does both the vet and My Mummy know what to do to make it all better fast! :)Ramseshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08601449746425084307noreply@blogger.com15tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6446863448069165075.post-54979430802364697832009-05-19T13:22:00.003+00:002009-05-19T13:37:35.222+00:00Triumphant Tuesday! :)Well it's certainly a triumph of sorts as today I finished the last of my auntibiotics, so no more nasty pills getting shoved down my throat for at least a bit now! :) However I'm still having to take this stuff to help stop the tummy upset and to make the good little bugs grow back in my belly again... It's a little less yuck than taking pills, but only a little less!<br /><br />I have certainly stopped loosing weight, however Mummy has yet to weigh me to see if I've started gaining back a little of the kilo that I lost while sick - yep that's a whole 8-9 week old kitten's worth of weight, so far too much for a usually fit, healthy and athletically built mancat to loose suddenly like I did... Now it's just a case of paws crossed that the auntibiotics have killed off the nasty bugs in my belly and that over the next week or two I can wean off of the yucky gloop that is supposed to help me regrow good belly bugs without a relaps. If there is a relaps then it will confirm My Mummy's worse nightmares and I will have to take a treatment that is highly risky, so paws crossed that I'm actually over it and I will be feeling myself in a couple more weeks! :)Ramseshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08601449746425084307noreply@blogger.com13tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6446863448069165075.post-57880038282220696342009-05-06T15:34:00.003+00:002009-05-06T15:48:43.960+00:00Waaa... WednesdayRight now I'm kind of a sick boy and having to take a lot of auntiebiotics (the auntie no one likes, as I see it), so for now I won't be around much as My Mummy is having to concentrate rather a lot of time and attention on me to get me better once more. The good thing is that I'm only 6 yrs old and pretty healthy, and My Mummy seems to have caught this before any real internal damage was done (paws crossed), so I have a reasonable chance of a full recovery. However she is all too aware that cats can and do die of this problem as it's very hard to catch, ID and cure - I guess it's lucky for me that My Mummy is very vigelent (not much sneaks by her), even if it does mean being pinned down and forced to take auntiebiotics a few times a day! That's the bit I hate, but My Mummy is doing her level best to make up to me by giving me only the bestest, yummiest chickens to eat and I can sleep on her bed all I want too! :) <br /><br />One minute I was my normal self, the next I was one sick kitty... I gather I even have to try and gain some weight, once I'm better as it was a sudden weight loss that triggered My Mummy to realise I was masking the fact that I was sick from her. I've now had the lecture about naughty boys hiding things from their Mummy's always getting found out anyway 'cause Mummy's have special senses! Hubert the vet was impressed too as he thinks he'd have missed it himself had My Mummy not bought it to his attention. Well there you have yet one more reason why she's My Mummy, she just knows me far too well to miss even something as subtle as this parasitic gut infection...Ramseshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08601449746425084307noreply@blogger.com12tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6446863448069165075.post-26097789669727706482009-05-04T10:55:00.004+00:002009-05-04T11:03:24.424+00:00Mancat Monday<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5ZTTU3jD1NFO151S5-fMkhauXJRtLVd7ivoSXNjMNfUOvR9NTnI6vhpVGIC6_K_G0jitCbtj_ZtUZ0nRVHuI_utAnrd6rent8b5vJ5izBH7xEhEN78JoLiRa5u7ARdkb6wt1DzeW_B6E/s1600-h/Ramses+on+guard.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 285px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5ZTTU3jD1NFO151S5-fMkhauXJRtLVd7ivoSXNjMNfUOvR9NTnI6vhpVGIC6_K_G0jitCbtj_ZtUZ0nRVHuI_utAnrd6rent8b5vJ5izBH7xEhEN78JoLiRa5u7ARdkb6wt1DzeW_B6E/s320/Ramses+on+guard.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5331922680996459602" border="0" /></a>Oh wow how can I thank you all for the lovely wishes - especially the ones that included cuddles and chicken! :) I got the bestest and longest cuddles with My Mummy and Daddy last night following a good filling up on prime, tender, juicy, chicken! They even let me watch what *I* wanted for as long as *I* wanted, so we all stayed up 'till nearly 2am looking at Cheezburger! ;) I was cuddled up between My Mummy and Daddy in bed, with the laptop in front of me keeping me all nice and warm too - utter bliss... Now to make things even better My Mummy is roasting me a whole chicken today as it is a Bank Holiday, though I think I shall share it with everyone as I'm in such a good mood. I must say this being 6 years old is rather good so far! :)Ramseshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08601449746425084307noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6446863448069165075.post-44142139021785505752009-05-03T15:02:00.003+00:002009-05-03T15:09:20.929+00:00Happy Birthday to me! :)Oh yes today I get stuffed full of yummy chicken as I turn 6 years old! :) Only because I'm a kind Uncle and they'd complain will I share my chicken with the kittens too... ;) Ok, because they'd put the bitey on my tail and be generally beastly if they were left out!<br /><br />All in all it's a wonderful day, the rain they'd predicted has not come and so I've had lots of time to play in the run and sun my belly fluffs, though there seems to be a big Bengal or Tabby Bengal mix tom cat who turned up in our garden today and stopped to drink from Tigmut'hep's froggy pond which caused some upset. Mummy says she'll ask the vet who owns this cat as he's never been seen locally before and is therefore probably new as he could cause serious trouble if he ever got hold of my sister Isis or for that matter little Setra when she's older! More to the point he's likely to spray and make everywhere all smelly... :( Not like the way I made my house smell when I was a Stud, oh no I smelt wonderful! :)Ramseshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08601449746425084307noreply@blogger.com19tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6446863448069165075.post-56005372794887332562009-04-10T11:36:00.003+00:002009-04-10T11:54:01.408+00:00Fantastic Friday!Wow, not only do I have D'boy home (which means My Mummy stays in even more of the time), but Daddy is now off for 10 days from work! :) Oh what bliss, I got tummy rubs in bed this morning and a lazy morning snuggle with Daddy and Mummy! Isis and the kittens joined in for a bit too to make it extra special - luckily none of the kittens desire "My Spot" on the bed, so it really was wonderful... :)<br /><br />We've now all had a "Big Breakfast" and the kittens are resting in their portable pen downstairs while D'Boy tries to earn himself some more pocket money by vacuuming the upstairs under My Mummy's supervision, while Daddy does downstairs. Luckily it's not raining 'cause Tigmut'hep can cower in the cat run as he's a big scardy cat at times, although he seems not to mind the new upstairs vacuum cleaner too much at all. In fact none of us really mind it that much, unlike the little "Sofa Sucker" that is soooo noisy! :( <br /><br />So I guess I'll make the most of this time and might not be around here that much for about a week. However during that time the kittens will be going for their first shots at Hubert the vets as well as us all getting a visit from Enta's potential family - I sure hope this means Mummy'll cook us some chicken so we can be handfed by the visitors. You know I'm really starting to enjoy having visitors like that for some reason! ;)Ramseshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08601449746425084307noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6446863448069165075.post-1488177993372864512009-04-03T08:59:00.015+00:002009-04-03T10:38:51.280+00:00Funny Friday Fotos...<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiEa9UXl6pS9cp1OOcQQnjDXceQ2dQNg8yQPO2JkpZX0ntFoF_257XMCjmXMU3qjG4o4Tqrrgq8dup46m23JC8C03KCIPVohx0qHmHKJ3phZAXvl5DEba_QXfTbyjSMUIkPPxGYAgsLGm4/s1600-h/Day+46+-+Ramses+watching+Enta+and+Setra+play.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 391px; height: 290px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiEa9UXl6pS9cp1OOcQQnjDXceQ2dQNg8yQPO2JkpZX0ntFoF_257XMCjmXMU3qjG4o4Tqrrgq8dup46m23JC8C03KCIPVohx0qHmHKJ3phZAXvl5DEba_QXfTbyjSMUIkPPxGYAgsLGm4/s400/Day+46+-+Ramses+watching+Enta+and+Setra+play.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5320408385272589554" border="0" /></a>OK girls this will be a clean round, 1 knock-out or 1 submission is all you need...

I sure hope they get it fixed for her soon as it's been going on now for about 18 months and I'm really suffering because of it! I mean what cat can cope with a reduction in the length and quality of their cuddle time due to pain caused to their Mummy during it?!<br /><br />Other than that I've been thinking about the kittens and all the lovely chicken that Boy and BG are now eating a few times a day... I have tried to just turn up in the kitten pen when it was chicken time, looking all cute and kitten like, but sadly it seems My Mummy recognizes me instantly and I'm told to get to the back of the queue! Though I hear that the kittens will be trying turkey in the next few days, so maybe my tactics will work better on that?! It's always worth a try... ;) LG has yet to start on solids, so I'd be doing My Mummy a favour eating up any left overs surely... :)<br /><br />In the meantime I think I shall have a nap with Isis on My Mummy's bed and keep an eye on the little kittens, just in case I've missed a potential chicken feeding time! It's pretty comical to watch them playing with the little wire ball with the mousie inside that Mummy gave them this morning to keep them happy, they've been enjoying trying to get their little paws on the mousie inside! :)Ramseshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08601449746425084307noreply@blogger.com9tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6446863448069165075.post-77068011553889270572009-03-12T11:40:00.006+00:002009-03-12T12:12:34.250+00:00Thinking Thursday...<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi9J64IjK5oLBO4uJDT6xNmZIxa7H6e7PATkNQlfShm9yEad4EibWQP8ozxZvNqMngzsIhqdtEB-CoUeRVkTR0fakoCWFFidx13Cy6vfbQzgDBO09jgUNrPgvGkL_OvOPNo9KODQu5VX0s/s1600-h/Day+22+-+Isis+entertains+the+littens.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 255px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi9J64IjK5oLBO4uJDT6xNmZIxa7H6e7PATkNQlfShm9yEad4EibWQP8ozxZvNqMngzsIhqdtEB-CoUeRVkTR0fakoCWFFidx13Cy6vfbQzgDBO09jgUNrPgvGkL_OvOPNo9KODQu5VX0s/s320/Day+22+-+Isis+entertains+the+littens.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5312264873869905298" border="0" /></a>This week I've been thinking that it's getting far more entertaining to watch the kittens all day... Oh yes they are starting to play with toys and do interesting things! They still smell kind of nice too, so I give them all a good sniffing over most days, I've even ventured so far as to give one of the little girls a wash behind her ears! ;) I guess it won't be long before they're all running round the house with the rest of us, playing games like "Herd of Thundering Elephants" - I mean it's important that these little ones get a properly rounded education. I guess that means having <a href="http://misspeachsmeowz.blogspot.com/">Miss Peach</a> teach them all good manners, so they'll be welcome at tea parties, while making sure they read <a href="http://daisythecurlycat.blogspot.com/">Daisy's</a> fashion advice and take lessons from Isis in modelling and investigating stuff, just in case they'd like to have a go at investigative reporting later in life! I expect I should show them how badly some cats suffer too (<a href="http://www.yao-lin-yao-lin.blogspot.com/">Yau-lin</a> for example), so that they appreciate all the love they get and learn to train their humans well!<br /><br />All this thinking has me exhausted, I think I had better go for a nap now! ;)Ramseshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08601449746425084307noreply@blogger.com11tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6446863448069165075.post-47001496182600430182009-03-05T10:39:00.007+00:002009-03-05T11:28:15.392+00:00Thankful and Thinking Thursday...<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh531hXJer9-7O-hW2RtPmXO9UWTbKTF0CUOaQW7c1Mx8cPC5WR2dun9j-RLNGCYDG8ZB8WYWQwzBv-9SbCe3bBZY9d5HcTUXJWDWmrMhi1-lFgj5MlrHS42YJ_RK3kaDuZD_gKnP8M33Y/s1600-h/toys.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 249px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh531hXJer9-7O-hW2RtPmXO9UWTbKTF0CUOaQW7c1Mx8cPC5WR2dun9j-RLNGCYDG8ZB8WYWQwzBv-9SbCe3bBZY9d5HcTUXJWDWmrMhi1-lFgj5MlrHS42YJ_RK3kaDuZD_gKnP8M33Y/s320/toys.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5309655864450742706" border="0" /></a>Well mostly I'm thinking I'm a very luck mancat this week and am very thankful to <a href="http://thepoupounette.blogspot.com/">Tama-Chan, little "Red" and Tommy</a> for making me feel this way!

As I take this responsibility seriously I had better go return to my guard duties, while also keeping Isis company. It seems she likes a little "adult cat" company as she says too much time with only kittens around makes a ladycats head go all daft - I wonder if that's what happened to My Mummy when she had D'Boy?!

So when My Mummy had the kittens out of it and in their carrier for a bit so she could clean up the "maternity ward" I decided to take my chances and find out if it really is as good as it looks. Well after a good 10 mins of intense research I can affirm that the kittens bed really isn't comfy as you might think, it is in fact far more comfy than you'd ever guess and I was very reluctant to leave it when My Mummy said I had to! It's that all over warmth, combined with slightly supportive softness that I now crave. So when ever I get a chance I'll be back in it for a quick nap... ;)Ramseshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08601449746425084307noreply@blogger.com12tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6446863448069165075.post-15764604093054231152009-02-19T09:33:00.013+00:002009-02-19T10:15:12.904+00:00Thinking and Thankful Thursday...<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZGkeoj843PQYblPinysFtRafFnO2fgXZQUFtuhuxezWLAgiZeubTeEcr1WNfFsh_ZZjBkHSwNsgN3kYhhi4T0y_URknu3xs5mqi1KsK7cyzATEs3DkTMJNALEJxKqQ4UiIegxJPNADvo/s1600-h/Ramses+visiting+Isis+and+kittens+-+Day+1.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 191px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZGkeoj843PQYblPinysFtRafFnO2fgXZQUFtuhuxezWLAgiZeubTeEcr1WNfFsh_ZZjBkHSwNsgN3kYhhi4T0y_URknu3xs5mqi1KsK7cyzATEs3DkTMJNALEJxKqQ4UiIegxJPNADvo/s320/Ramses+visiting+Isis+and+kittens+-+Day+1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5304440211609937986" border="0" /></a>Well what is there to think about or be thankful for this week other than new life in the form of <a href="http://isismeows.blogspot.com/">Isis</a> new and very wonderful 'ickel baby kittens and My Marie's gorgeous little blurpy sister Evangeline?!<br /><br />This is a photo of little Evie shortly after birth, isn't she just the sweetest little pink bundle of joy?!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOomEcget6cHS4_EA8ecOogBjmglfF2oZieRuZZ-zk15B6opk9RwTZ-gIXnVbtCiObYvtp6R84nvDcpJZdw29sZ89orCoBVha8gRD1mJ8uLIXfLgPZyas1wpdTA3wiBZie2U3WPTZTAjM/s1600-h/Evangeline.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOomEcget6cHS4_EA8ecOogBjmglfF2oZieRuZZ-zk15B6opk9RwTZ-gIXnVbtCiObYvtp6R84nvDcpJZdw29sZ89orCoBVha8gRD1mJ8uLIXfLgPZyas1wpdTA3wiBZie2U3WPTZTAjM/s320/Evangeline.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5304442196128171378" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Ok, so I'm a big soft sort of Mancat who simply adores babies and kittens not forgetting My Marie and My Mummy of course! ;)<br /><br />Now I have the added pleasure of showing you all the kittens close up! :) <a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8cJaiiYpBUymNPzJaWKyQJTPbYQhkpj43ReAwfJLxyqpTCQC9fMtTBjjtoIoTLT1ikk5VvuLz5jd-l6cTH0Y2QhoLVjz0KV64f4AkbIiEATqnv3DDSmyQiRd9Tywj3l7fiItUQbQnwMo/s1600-h/Boy+face+-+Day+1+%2812+hrs+old%29.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 284px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8cJaiiYpBUymNPzJaWKyQJTPbYQhkpj43ReAwfJLxyqpTCQC9fMtTBjjtoIoTLT1ikk5VvuLz5jd-l6cTH0Y2QhoLVjz0KV64f4AkbIiEATqnv3DDSmyQiRd9Tywj3l7fiItUQbQnwMo/s320/Boy+face+-+Day+1+%2812+hrs+old%29.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5304444440379471698" border="0" /></a>Here is my new nephew known as "Boy" at the moment, he's a feisty lad even if he has little sense of direction - what with his making it into the world bottom first! ;)<br /><br />Then came Big Girl "BG", by far the biggest of the kittens and never late for dinner - in fact she's now over 160g's at just over 60 hrs old!

Well I am her brother and as such she should share everything with me, well ok not the labour pains, but the good food is something I'm always happy to share with anykitty! ;)Ramseshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08601449746425084307noreply@blogger.com13tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6446863448069165075.post-2246526890363422032009-02-12T08:38:00.006+00:002009-02-12T09:25:15.930+00:00Thinking Thursday....Wow, I can't believe it's Thursday again already! This last week seems to have whizzed by whilst my sister's belly has ballooned... My Mummy's now purrty sure that there'll be more than 4 kittens hidden in there this time round, I guess this is kinda good as My Mummy says I can pick the purrtiest Niece from amongst the girls Isis has this time round and she can stay with us forever and ever! :) You know there's even a chance that some of the kittens will have the same colour furs as I have, if not they'll all have the hidden ability to produce sorrel furs on their own babies when they are grown up. This means that my Niece will be able to produce purrty sorrel furs on her babies when she's old enough to be a Momma Cat, if My Mummy takes her to visit a stud who has this hidden ability too, or who has sorrel furs in the first place... So I've been thinking of all the cute little "mini me's" that might be born here sometime in the future! :)<br /><br />My next line of thought was about <a href="http://mariethedefender.blogspot.com/">My Marie</a> getting a Blurpy sister very shortly. I'm mega excited about this as My Mummy has known <a href="http://mariethedefender.blogspot.com/">My Marie's</a> Mom for 3 or more years now and she's told me that she's purtty sure that this little Blurpy is going to be one of the best loved Blurpies ever (well as well as D'Boy (even if he's a mega big Blurpy now), <a href="http://catbanter.blogspot.com/">Kimo & Sabo's</a> little Blurpy and TT's little Blurpy that she watches from over the Bridge and left with <a href="http://tt-themisadventuresofme.blogspot.com/">Jake the woofie, Truder, Molly and Shadow</a> to look after), all of you who know me will know I'm all for love! :)<br /><br />Talking of love, I had lots of it last night with My Mummy and Daddy too! So much so in fact that I came back for seconds around 4am thinking I was onto a good thing, only to get some very mixed reactions as I burrowed my way down the bed and stuck my then cold nose onto Daddy's leg... I see he still requires a little fine tuning on the training front! ;) My Mummy however mumbled something sleepily and put her arm around me for a good long cuddle session that was only upset by the rotten alarm going off and Mummy realizing that she didn't hear D'Boy's alarm go off too. It seems she had to make sure he woke up and got to school on time, so I had to give up my snuggles rights and let her get on with the day. Though I got a little snuggle from D'Boy before he left for school to help make up for it! :)<br /><br />Finally my thoughts turn to Calgary where Grammy has started just her Radiotherapy and where my beloved Marie lives. She is the only ladycat for me! :) <a href="http://mariethedefender.blogspot.com/">Marie</a> my furever Valentine... :) Oh and yesterday my half-sister (who had 6 kittens last week) <a href="http://www.merrydancercats.btinternet.co.uk/noodles_kittens.htm">Noodle's</a> housemate <a href="http://www.merrydancercats.btinternet.co.uk/indies_kittens.htm">Indie</a> gave birth to 4 beautiful blue Aby kittens and today is My Mummy's Baby Brother's Birthday today and on Saturday it's Daddy's Mummy's Birthday, so this is a lovely time of year! <br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">PS: I gather Marie's Mommy is in hospital being purrsuaded to give birth right now!!!!!</span>Ramseshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08601449746425084307noreply@blogger.com8
