OK, so it wasn't a "Bad" weekend as such, but I didn't get enough Mummy time and am therefore suffering from a lack of snuggles... It seems My Mummy felt she needed to go help Dad and D'boy tidy up Dad's Mum's Garden, which meant I had to go one whole night without My Mummy cuddling me! :( I know it's utterly horrific treatment and I think I might have to take strategic action, but for now I'm working out exactly what form that might take as I hear My Mummy's going to be abandoning me for another 50 squillion hours to go to "Fizzy-O" midweek. What exactly is "Fizzy-O" for a start and why can't they do it without My Mummy being there?! Surely they should understand I'm a cat with needs and one of those is constant access to My Mummy!
Mummy keeps telling me it's not going to take a long time and it's going to help her left shoulder that hasn't worked properly in about 12 months now... Honestly I don't see a problem with the shoulder myself, I mean she can still snuggle and fuss me - so what's all this about seriously restricted range of movement and a need for "Fizzy-O" and then a cortisone injection? The last I heard cortisone's what they used to try and stop Tigmut'hep over grooming his belly, I'm sure I'd have noticed if My Mummy was over grooming her own belly too! ;) So why all the fuss and bother? Really what they need to do is put her on complete bed rest with hot feline therapy sessions and by that I don't mean my naughty little sister burrowing her way down the bed in the middle of the night to lick My Mummy's arms before crawling off to sleep by Dad's legs... Oh no I mean my snuggling in My Mummy's arms for hours on end - I mean surely there's nothing else out there that couold possibly make her feel as good as that?! ;)

Mancat and Manflu Monday
It seems that D'boy has responded well to our treatment, My Mummy's on the mend if still unwell but Dad seems to still have raging manflu really badly... So badly so in fact that My Mummy is going to have to take him to the vets in a bit. The thing is we're a little concerned that due to his advanced years (he's well over 20 yrs old now you know) and the serious condition he's in - well you know what we're worrying about...! :( I mean he's a good Dad and has over the years become quite expert in giving belly rubs and general fusses, so we'd kinda like to keep him. Honestly when he's not suffering from manflu he seems fit and healthy, so paws crossed the vet will think he's worth the effort too! ;) Oh and My Mummy seems to like Dad as well, so I'm sure she'll put in a good word for him with the vet... :)
Other than that Mummy fed me the bestest chicken ever this weekend and it seems all the family have clubed together to buy us cats some nice new beds and pillows to match! Oh yes, Tigmut'hep has a soft and comfy new single bed that he likes to share with D'boy, while Isis and I have a brand new memory foam double bed sized matress arriving later in the week, though we already have some very nice new soft fluffy pillows to share with My Mummy and Dad... We're both very excited about the imminant arrival of the new matress as it's supposed to mold to our bodies and kind of cradle us as we sleep! It took ages for Dad and My Mummy to find just the right one for us, so I hope they got it right - after all a cat likes to be very comfy when it sleeps! :)

Mancat Monday
Well since we're all very environmentally minded cats here, but also very refined and well mannered on the whole (Tigmut'hep being the exception), we decided to tell you all a little about the wonderful environmentally friendly products we use here! :)
Firstly there's our lovely cat litter Cats Best ÖkoPlus it makes unpleasant indoor odours a thing of the past, as they are be trapped within it's organic fibres. The fibre itself comes from untreated domestic fir and spruce wood, which accumulates naturally in the environmental cycle. Using this wood is a help to maintaining healthy forests.

The fibre itself comes from untreated domestic fir and spruce wood, which accumulates naturally in the environmental cycle. Using this wood is a help to maintaining healthy forests. 
ÖkoPlus is currently the only clumping litter that is both compostable and biodegradable and because it is made from organic fibre, it is much lighter and easier to handle than comparable mineral litter. This in turn saves on transport costs and makes ÖkoPlus a truly environmentally friendly litter. What's more it's also velvety soft on the paws and darn good for digging around in! :) The other thing that's good is that because it clumps so well it lasts about 3 times as long as any other wood or paper pulp based cat litter (apparently this saves money, which can be spent on cat food and 'nip!), oh and it doesn't track too much and isn't all dusty and horrid either...
I think you'll all agree this is far better than a photo of one of us using the litter box! ;)
Our next environmentally sound product of choice here has just gotta be Bozita cat meat, it's just so darn yummy for a start and comes in easy to open and recyclable Tetra Packages, so it's also light weight and easy to store beacuse of it's shape. The other benifits that Bozita provides a perfectly balanced diet for your pet's entire life cycle. 
This food is made exclusively from 93% fresh lean Swedish meat - which means it's antibiotic and hormone free and none of the chickens have been battery farmed or had their beaks clipped! There are no artificial colours, flavourings or preservatives, no nasty sugar in it, is wheat gluten free, while containing a high level of taurine to look after our eyes and reproductive systems (ok that last benifit is a bit lost on Tigmut'hep and myself, but it's great for Isis). It also contains a natural betaglucan they call Macrogard® to help keep us fit and healthy as it boosts our immune systems. Oh and did I mention that it's incredibally tasty or that the Terta packs are made to reseal between meals?! It comes in a whole host of tasty flavours too, like reindeer which is Tigmut'hep's fave!
Again don't you think this is so much better than a photo of Tigs with his face in a big bowl of food?! ;)
Though not wishing to dissapoint anycat, here's a shot of Tigmut'hep after a heavy night on the 'nip! All our 'nip is organically grown by My Mummy and harvested at it's peak, carefully dried and snorted in abundance by our housemate and self confessed addict...

Mancat Monday Moan...
Yes, I feel I have the right to moan this Mancat Monday... Not only has My Mummy been preoccupied with DIY of late and kept me from writing my bloggy, but Dad managed to paint me all white yesterday afternoon! Oh yes I got a large patch of white gloss paint all down one side of me and my face! :( While I adore the pretty white furs of My Marie and find Lux's furs also very attractive in a Mancatly sort of way, I just don't want any myself... So there I was all white and very cross with Dad and who came to my rescue when Dad suggested I get a bath and fast, yes it was My Mummy! :)
It seems that she'd worked out fast that since the paint was nearly dry she could probably get most of it off with my lovely sctitchy brush! :) Well you all know that I love to be brushed, so what had once looked like a complete disaster and seemed to be about to be compounded by the horrors of the bath, could in fact be sorted by having My Mummy give me a darn good brushing and then grudgingly letting her carefully rub the remaining paint off my face furs.
So after a good deal of brushing and quite some careful rubbing of the fur around my face that got painted I am pretty much back to normal and looking mighty gorgeous. While there is a little incresed lightness where the paint once was a few more brushing sessions and I'll be good as new. See Dad I didn't need a nasty bath and I no longer need to put a contract out on you! ;)

Mancat Monday Meme - Fridge Meme
It seems that Isis and I have been tagged by our wonderful friend Yao-Lin from his special island home for the Fridge Meme!
Here are the rules:
A fun and simple MEME for the hot summer. Show us a photo of the front of your Cold Box (Fridge) and tell us about at least one thing on it and one thing you keep inside of it! Tag your friends and remember to stay COOL!
Firstly this is the Fridge, apparently it is the place to put "everything that hasn't for a home or that Mummy needs to be reminded off" Sadly neither Isis nor myself found a message reading "Feed the Cats!" on it, though luckily for us she seems to remember that bit anyway... ;)
Next comes the freezer where D'Boy and Dad work out what's "Cool and what's Not!" It seems all things Dr. Who are pretty darn cool! ;)
This is the "Bunny Boiler" - I'm not sure what My Mummy keeps giggling about when she talks about it, even Dad and D'boy laugh - I guess it's some sort of "bean joke". Anyway if things aren't cool enough for the "Cool Wall" on the freezer, or if there's a lack of room on it, they come here. That's D'Boy's artwork with added dino magnets for fun...
This is My Mummy's special note pad for leaving Dad messages, I think the message at the top is designed to remind him not to argue but just do what My Mummy tells him to do! ;)
This is my favourite saying on the Fridge, it's so true. Isis likes this one best too, but is still looking for one that tells her that putting the bitey on Mummy's toes will get her all she wants! ;) I gather My Mummy would disagree with Isis view on this...
Because he insisted I'm also adding Tigmut'hep's favourite saying on the fridge... Sadly he thinks because the photo on it is of a black cat who looks quite a lot like him it means we should all worship him! This of cause makes Isis slightly interesting ideas on getting her own way seem compleatly sane in comparison! ;)
Lastly this is a rather sweet photo of me on the fridge, please note that Tigmut'hep is bossing me around in it as usual... He's always got to have the final word it seems! ;)
Oh and as you all know our fridge is full of yummy catnip jelly and turkey chunks in jelly too that Mummy made us late last week! Sadly we have nearly eaten all the turkey chunks in jelly, but we have plenty of 'nip jelly still left to have as a cool lunchtime snack or to add to our meals to make sure that Tigmut'hep take on enough fluid in the hotter weather - the silly boy doesn't seem to like drinking much and sometimes makes himself unwell because of it... Luckily we all get to eat the 'nip jelly though! :)

Mancat Monday
Today I'm being a wonderful Mancat and am letting my housemate and fellow Mancat Tigmut'hep have the blog time as it's his 8th Birthday and he's all excited by his new toys and food! ;) I must say the food is great and it's nice of My Mummy to get enough for all of us to share in the treat... :) Though Tigmut'hep might try remembering the sharing rule when looking at his new toys! ;)

Mancat Monday
What a week I've had here, what with My Mummy spending a lot of her time getting D'boy ready for his trip to the Isle of Wight (aka Yao-lin's Island) this week. I'll be quiet here without him and thank goodness My Mummy will not have to get out of bed at 5:30am again all week! I do so hate it when she wakes me at that time and it's not just because she needs an extra fussing... ;)
The thing I'm a little moody about this week is that My Mummy's got to have a big needle put in her ouchy shoulder on Wednesday morning and after that she's not allowed to do much with that arm for 48 hrs... This means no left handed belly rubs and no sleeping under her arm between her and Dad all night! :( I'm sure I shall wither from neglect during this time of no left handed fussing as I like left handed fussing better than right... I'm not sure if she can cope either! :( I know she needs to rub my belly with her left hand to get to sleep at night for a start... I'm sure the Dr's have it all wrong and fussing with her left hand should be allowed, after all I'm not sure she knows how to do it with her right hand! :S The fear and worry is almost too much for me, I shall have to go for a lay down on her bed until the moment passes...
Oh and my other fear is that Dad can't open a stinky goodness pouch properly! He certainly can't cook properly and so My Mummy is being forced to stock the house with things he can feed them on without poisoning them or burning the house down trying to do... No joking Dad once cooked a frozen pizza with the wrapper still on it! My Mummy might starve and so might I while her shoulder and arm are out of action... No wonder D'boy has left home while this is going on! I mean Yao-lin's slave is a better cook than my Dad and you all know how much he suffers as a result of her cooking! Oh woe is me, I shall soon look like a hard done by and skinny meezer and I may well wind up with food poisoning just like Baby Mao did! :(

Belated Mancat Monday
Well this is the last picture of Isis son's all together. From left to right, you can see Django, Dandy and Dizzy. It's certainly a little quieter around here with out Dizzy, but Mummy's been busy with paperwork so I guess she's pleased it's quieter so she can get it all done... Just today and 2 more full days here and Django goes to his new home too. It'll be a lot quieter after that I bet! This is defiantly a good thing as Mummy's explained to me that I have to babysit Delta and Dandy on Saturday with some help from Tigmut'hep... Yer right Mummy Tigmut'hep probably needs more babysitting than the kittens do! Honestly you'd think she'd know that by now... ;)
My sweet friend Storm, (the most beautiful Siamese cat in the World) has given me a lovely award and called me handsome too! Yes, I bet you can all see that I'm still blushing in this photo of me helping Mummy make the bed this morning... ;)
You see she's got a new bedspread and it needs a lot of attention to make it just right and I'm the mancat for the job as you all know! I'm a bed specialist and can kneed and burrow with the best of them... ;)

Belated Mancat Monday! ;)
Oh well I was too busy to get to my blog yesterday and with the kittens getting so big Isis has given up her "Titty Tuesday" post, so I'm finally getting to my Mancat thoughts today... So I guess my first thought is; real mancats put off today what could possibly be done tomorrow if they can't be bothered to drag their furry butts out of bed! ;)
It was a good weekend though as Tigmut'hep spent most of it sleeping off the effects of too much catnip at Karl & Ruis's wedding reception! Added to that Dad's away and so I got extra Mummy snuggle time! :) She and D'boy had a number of DVD's to watch and so all us cats piled onto their laps and curled up to watch them. The thing is I gather 4 kittens on one 11 yr old's lap makes for one very hot child, so he had to have a shower before going to bed as he felt all hot and horrid! Not that I can understand why feeling hot should have anything to do with feeling horrid... ;) I think that when Tigs joined in on his lap with the kittens was the exact point at which he reached critical mass and started his nuclear meltdown below his lap blanket! I on the other paw had Mummy pretty much all to myself, although Isis was snuggled up behind Mummy's head! :)
On Sunday Mummy roasted me a chicken! :) It was very tasty and being a good cat I shared MY Chicken with all the other cats here as well as they kittens who made little piggy noises just like Isis does when they ate it! ;) It seems that it must have smelt very yummy as Mummy and D'boy had some of MY Chicken too with some vegetables and roast potatoes, but being a good cat I didn't mind too much as I got 2 large servings of chicken and so slept very soundly on Sunday night. You know I have the bestest dreams when I have a belly full of chicken! :)
Yesterday Mummy helped D'boy get himself ready for back to school today and in the evening we had our kitty sitter Unca' Pete visit us! :) He bought us gifts of kitty milk and nice smells on his trousers, as well as a good lap for the kittens to have a nap on... It seems he likes a lap full of kittens even more than D'boy does! ;)
So after a long weekend of chicken and snuggles D'boy's gone back to school, although I hear that My Mummy and Dad have to take him to his secondary school tomorrow at lunchtime for an interview or something, so I'll have all the family home for a quick lunch before taking D'boy back to school I hope! :) I think I'm actually missing Dad while he's been away... Just promise not to tell him that I love him, ok?! My Mummy can't manage to fuss my back and give me belly rubs in bed at the same time with out Dad and I do so love my combi fussing that I can't wait for him to get home tonight! :) I've saved up lots of furs to apply to his PJ's and an all excited about sniffing his trousers to see what he's been doing... Oh and I hear he may be bringing home a BIG bit of willow tree for the cat run so we can have a tree to climb in it!!!! Oh boy am I going to enjoy that! :) You see with the levels of catnip that Tigmut'hep takes he can't even climb the wire in the run, so I bet he'll make a real mess of tree climbing and I wanna watch it and then show off my skills! ;) Oh yer there's nothing quite a mancat showing off his prowess! :) Talking of a need to show off my mancatly prowess and all that, it's wonderful to have My Marie back after 6 whole weeks away...

Mancat Monday
That's it I want a refund! What sort of weekend is it when your Mummy gets out of bed before 6am?! What's an Ice Hockey tournament anyway? It doesn't sound edible for a start, so why get up that early to catch it? At least My Mummy's spent the weekend at home with us, even if Dad and D'boy have been out all day... But I treasure my 3-4 hrs a morning snuggling in bed with My Mummy and I get told off if I start my snuggling at 1 or 2 in the morning for some reason! :( So being a really good cat (and not much liking my beauty sleep being disturbed), I've had to make do with an afternoon snuggle... But I'm telling you it's not the same and just not good enough! Mancat can't survive on a fuss mid afternoon I tell you, well this mancat can't! I need at least 3 hrs a morning of snuggling on the weekend and at least 1 hr during the week, though I do try and get more then too! ;)
So Mancat Monday has found me feeling deprived and neglected and in serious need of a snuggle... At this rate I'll be forced to cuddle up to Tigmut'hep and you know that's a last resort and the rather desperate act of an under loved mancat, don't you Mummy!
Yes I know you cooked me sirloin steak last night, but that doesn't make up for the hours of serious deprivation I have suffered, even if Yao-lin would have just loved it and is probably now a meezerly shade of green with envy, it doesn't cut it with me... Nope I want snuggles now and if you don't want to lay down and let me cover you in my lovely furs, I shall pack myself off to the Isle of Wight with D'boy in a few weeks time and see if I can get some there! :P

Mancat Monday
Well it's been rather busy here of late, what with D'boy having SAT's last week and the beans leaving us for 9 squillion hours on Saturday to go look at the Air Museum at Duxford as well as the Suffolk & Norfolk cat show... But being a good Mummy, My Mummy made it up to me by letting me snuggle in bed with her and Dad all night! :) This was so wonderful as it was rather cool and I got to burrow under the covers and rest my head on My Mummy's pillow all snuggled up in the middle of the bed... This is the purrfect spot to sleep in as you get nice and warm and you can demand fussing from either parent! :)
Mummy bought us presents home from the cat show, it seems the nice people at Applaws and Hills wanted to give us all some yummy food to eat! Though the roast pork loin My Mummy cooked for dinner yesterday was even more to my liking, especially with a little gravy added... :) Look I only got a tiny bit, I'm not *that* spoilt! ;) But it still counts and Mummy's on my good books again... Now if only I could get her to take an afternoon nap with me! ;)

Mancat Monday
Well it's a little sad this Mancat Monday as I've just found out that one of my former wives has passed away... She was I admit a good deal older than me when we had kittens together and that was nearly 4 years ago, but she was only 12 years old and although that's a good age it's not as old as many Abys I know! 
But I know her life was happy and full of the kittens she loved so very, very much... In fact dear Lou was never happier than when she had a litter of kittens to mother and love! :) I have fond memories of her and our three kittens; Caitlin, Cat Anderson and Cottontail - all of who have lovely lives and homes of their own...
I know she is missed by more than just me and My Mummy's had a lovely long talk to her beans today to pass on her condolences and talk about kittens and seeing them soon at the cat show Isis is planning to attend with My Mummy! :)

Mancat Monday
Oh what a wonderful weekend... :) Not only was it my Birthday, but with it being a long weekend and stuffed full of yummy chicken eating opportunities as well as sunny and warm weather for playing in the run, but My Mummy got me 3 new and different varieties of catnip for the run! :) Now how many Mummy's are that good to their cats?! It's official I'm keeping My Mummy! ;)
The kitten visits went well too and everyone kept telling me I was very lovely, so they've got to be very wise and intelligent people... My Mummy and Isis like them too, so 3 of the kittens have now met their new families and have their collection dates roughly sorted too. None of the kittens gets to leave home before they're 13 weeks old, so I have still got about another 5 weeks of Uncle duties! :) Then I get a holiday from kittens and lots of time to sun my tummy furs in the run...
Talking about my tummy furs I managed to snuggle with Mummy and watch TV last night for over an hour, in which she fussed my belly fluffs in the most delightful way - making sure all the chicken goodness was evenly distributed! ;) I then had a bit more snuggling between My Mummy and Dad in bed before Dad's snoring put me off and I went to hang out in the window cooling my fluffs, as it was 27C here yesterday and stayed warm all night. It's not good to let your belly fluffs get too hot for too long you know! ;)
The kitten visits went well too and everyone kept telling me I was very lovely, so they've got to be very wise and intelligent people...

Mancat Monday
My Mummy and her human family ran away from home twice over the weekend, on Saturday they came home smelling really interesting though and carrying lots of new cat toys! So I guess forgiveness is granted... ;) It seems they attended the Abyssinian Cat Association's 22nd Annual Cat Show, which is why they smelt so darn interesting! They saw my half-sister Ch. Mikkar Little Mynx there (she's Isis sister and litter mate) as well as Isis (and Mynx) little half-brother Mikkar Ashanti Warrior. He did very well, earning himself a First in the male kitten class, as well as the Best of Breed for Aby kitten and Best in Show too! :) So to celebrate My Mummy bought us some of our fave Applaws chicken cat food, the kittens got some of their kitten food too, which they loved as much as we love our chicken! :)
On Sunday the excuse for them all running away from home again, was that of a family christening to attend... At least they came back home by lunchtime on Sunday! ;) Well I do so hate missing the chance of asking for a midday treat... :)
Today they slept in a whole 20 mins late! :( This meant I was nearly dying of starvation by the time they awoke and got around to feeding me! The kittens had also escaped and come down ready for their breakfast, so Isis and I decided to jump all over their bed and get them moving fast before we became too weak with starvation... My Mummy made me a yummy breakfast and fed the kittens too before she even had her usual mug of tea! I think this was to show her repentance for making us suffer so badly... Though this didn't stop Tigmut'hep from wailing at the top of his lungs about the mistreatment he had suffered!
It seems tonight the family are having pizza and then My Mummy's promised that we can all play with the new toys as long as we agree to play nice with the kittens too! :) I can't wait to bash the heck out of the new furry puff wand for starters, then the leather thong tipped fishing rod will be my next victim I think, or maybe the pig pink eared furry rat?! So many toys, so little time... Then I shall have a big, huge, yummy dinner and crawl into bed with My Mummy for a fussing in her new bed cover! :) The only thing is My Marie's purrty white furs will show up on this far more than they did on the old one... I think her regular teleporting over here for a snuggle on My Mummy's bed might have to change to a snuggle on the sofa in the office! ;)

Mancat Monday...
Django stalking the camera!I have been teaching the mini mancats here to stalk and play games this past week mostly, along with how to climb the sides of the cat carrier and play pen!
Dizzy avoiding photos!
Given practice from an early age every mancat can be difficult to photograph! This takes time and dedication when as a kitten you are over riding the urge to be cute and adorable... But I feel that it is worth the effort - after all they'll be able to command a far higher treat to photo ratio if they aren't too easy to photograph without those nutritions little bribes, so loved by most cats who model part-time! ;)Dandy is so far leading the way in learning these skills, though Dizzy is certainly a close second. Django on the other paw seems to give into that inner cuteness far too often for his own good... ;)
Never fear I shall train them all and soon bribes will be paid for good photo ops, my cut as their Uncle and Manager is of course 50%! :)

Mancat Monday...
Well seeing as I now have 3 young students to teach the art of being a mancat to, I have been most busy! But as you can see from the above photographic evidence I have already taught one of my little nephews how to lounge around and nap like a proper little mancat with a big full tummy! :) I'm rightfully proud of my achievements as it's none too easy to get these kittens to sit still and listen to anything that's not to do with milk, so I have devised a training system that focuses on the things they like while teaching them the essentials! I like to think of it as the "3 M's", milk, mummy and mancatliness! ;) Since the first 2 come naturally to them they already are filled with a sense of achievement and personal pride, all the better for learning about being a proper mancat! :) This of course leaves Delta's further education to my 'sis and Miss Peach - she will undoubtedly learn how to drive a mancat wild and the fine art of throwing a tea party! :)

Mancat Monday - aka The Mancat Called Uncle! ;)
My wonderful half-sister Isis and her kittens just 1-2 hrs after they were born on Sunday in the wee small hours! So mostly this Mancat has been kitten gazing and admiring his amazing sister's new mothering skills... It's a very mancat kind of thing to do and even Tigmut'hep is finding himself attracted to spending time kitten gazing! ;) So much for him being a big old grump... :)

Mancat Monday...
Ok, so I's a mancat and understand all about getting ladycats in the family way thanks to my time as a Stud boy... ;) So I thought I'd better find out about how kittens arrive! The thing is I'm now pretty darn confused... :S
I stayed up with Dad the other night and thought I'd ask him the big question, 'cause I just couldn't ask My Mummy all about it, I'd have turned redder than usual after all! So Dad told me all about the Stork and how he brings Momma cats' a bundle of ickle baby kittens... Now iffen I'm right, we don't get storks locally, but I've seen a juicy big heron or two! So surely that's what Dad means, he's just no ornithologist... ;) If that's the case I reckon there's good eating on one of those! :)
I'm therefore looking for a posse of mancats to help me take down this blessed Stork or Herron, this way my 'sis can have a load of kittens and we can have a darn good feast! ;) So far I've only signed Tigmut'hep up for my quest, he's providing some heavyweight lard, eer ok muscle (of the fatty variety), but I need a quick mover and someone who's knows no fear! I mean I'm not about to risk my uncommonly good looks going up against that Stork or Herron's beak, they look mighty vicious (more so that Skeezix vishus deer in fact), we also need a bit more muscle to make sure the job gets done right! I'm of course the brains of the operation and as such reserve the right to 50% of the takings... The rest of you are to receive an equal share and a little primo 'nip into the bargain! :)
All candidates considered, please apply to Ramses D'Lynx in writing before March 8th! ;)

Mancat Monday...
It seems Dad's home with manflu today... So I'z gotta compete for My Mummy's attention! Now come on Mummy, you can't zoom groom Dad, nor can you play "belly rub or bunny kick" with him... Not to mention the fact he's a walking bag of snot and contagion?! ;) I'z pretty sure his face is going to explode soon and that could be scary... Yes, that's right Mummy you want to spend your time with me, doing mancatly things like fussing me and telling me how wonderful I am! :) Oh and Mummy you can use that nasty pill giver thingy you use on us so we don't put the bitey on your fingers when being given pills, on Dad when you give him is cold and flu tabs - that way you don't have to get that close to him! After all I wouldn't want My Mummy getting sick, it'd mess with my routine for a start! ;)

Mancat Monday...
Well we'z had a busy weekend, but Dad finished off the painting of the hall, stairs and landing and now that it's stopped smellin' all bad and yuck, I'z gotta agree that he's made it look much better than it did before! :) Then again how hard is it to make something look better than it did painted "rubber duck yellow" with rose pink carpets? ;) I'z hear that we'll be getting new carpets once the kittens have grown up and left home! Now that'll be a major snoopervisory job... ;) Today d'boy home from school - it's something called a "half term", but iffen it's a half, why is there a whole boy at home?! I fink they'z all a bit muddled... You'z can't have a half a person home, they leak all over the place! ;) Anyway we'z all too tired to do that much other than snoopervise the laundry getting done and making sure each clean piece has enough furs still on them! :) It's an important job for sure... Other than that we'z all had a little play in the cat run, it's getting easier to out run Isis now that she's shaped like a rugby ball! ;) Though she's still remarkably determined to get her own back at us mancats, so mostly we're being very nice to her...
My Mummy has to get up *very* early tomorrow so I'z planning on dragging her to bed nice and early tonight! Dad's gotta go to Manchester on a train to attend a seminar for work, he won't be home till quite late so our kitty sitter Pete is coming over for dinner and My Mummy can pick up Dad when Pete goes home. It's been ages since we'z seen him and so we'll have to give him a really good sniffing, I'z sure his cat Jordan will have sent us a message via his trouser legs - she usually does. We send messages back to her that way too! :) Iffen Pete gets really lucky he can have Jordan furs on one leg and a mixture of ours on the other one... ;)
