Thinking Thursday...

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 Miss Peach teach them all good manners, so they'll be welcome at tea parties, while making sure they read Daisy's 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 (Yau-lin for example), so that they appreciate all the love they get and learn to train their humans well!

All this thinking has me exhausted, I think I had better go for a nap now! ;)

Totally Beastly Tuesday...

Well in my brotherly effort to stop Isis moaning herself daft I decided to attempt a little late night frog bothering in the run with her... Low and behold we caught ourselves a silly little suicidal froggy in no time and feeling really proud of ourselves bough it in to show Dad! No sooner had he seen it he was on his feet and off to get a paper towel - it seems that Dad wanted my frog all for himself, so quick as you like I popped the wiggling froggy into my mouth and scooted under the big TV table. Well I don't know about you lot, but I find it hard to keep a fidgeting froggy in my mouth for long, so I let it hop out and got out of Dad's way really fast! But did this stop Dad and his paper towel from wanting to get to my froggy, oh no... In fact he called My Mummy to come and help catch my froggy! :( So after Dad having to half get under the TV table while My Mummy talked nice to me, he got my froggy in the towel and took it back outside to the pond! He seemed surprised to see that the froggy was unhurt, well had he bothered to ask I could have told him that I only wanted to play with it and get 'sis interested in something new... So that was the end of my frog bothering for the evening! :(

Anyway I went on to have lots of fusses from Mummy and a really good snuggle in bed with her even though it's very hot here, so she at least was forgiven - especially when she gave me my morning brushing in the bath, oh how I love to squirm around in the bath while being brushed good and hard - it's just the best way to start the day! :) Way too soon the brushing was over and Mummy was back to getting herself ready for the day ahead, but in the after glow of a good brushing I didn't notice that she'd turned the shower on until it was way too late and I was already in the bath getting myself very wet indeed! :( Oh the indignity of it all... There is sit looking more like a red hedgehog than a cat, suddenly thankful for the hot weather as my coat dries off. The only upside to all this is that Isis has stopped moaning about wanting a mancat, but I do wish it wasn't because she's too busy giggling at me to think of anything else... ;) One small mercy is that Mummy didn't get her camera out to record this moment of deep distress for posterity!

Thinking Thursday

I've been thinking again and I must say I'm very happy that Isis has found herself a nice Mancat at long last! One who's understanding about her desire for kittens too, so she can have the best of both worlds... A sweet natured Mancat to flirt with and call her own as well as still being able to enjoy the life of a Queen, with her occasional eer professional eer relationships that result in Isis coming home all happy and pregnant! :)

The other thing I've been thinking about is the fact that we've not had enough summer fun treats recently! While I understand that Mummy's trying to keep an eye on my weight after my attempts at eating for 4 during Isis pregnancy, a Mancat still needs his summer time treats or he might fade away... ;) So I've been helping My Mummy think and gather that she'll be making us some chicken stock and catnip jelly that we can snack on when it's warm - how cool is that?! :)

This got me to thinking about how much I love My Mummy, which resulted in her noticing my claws were a little sharp and I was decididly furry! :S Yep, I had a pawdicure, a light bath and a good grooming - all under a goodly degree of protest I might add... Oh well I still love My Mummy, 'cause I got to sleep in my best cuddle spot all night with her 'cause apparently I small really nice now! :)

Thoroughly Embarrassed Thursday...

Oh dear goodness what has my little 'sis been telly you all...?! Plus all those photos of me playing the part of her good "'ickle baby kitten", when I'm really a very manly type of Mancat! It's as bad as Tigmut'hep and his teddy bears, 'n seeing him snuggled up with them always makes me laugh myself silly...

How will I ever show my face again now you've seen me playing baby games... Will My Marie love and respect me still?! :( The only real plus is, I know my furs are all nice and clean. Oh and I'm very well rested! :) Plus I'm aloud a bigger share of the afternoon cat milk if I stay in character! ;) Well a Mancat's gotta do what a Mancat's gotta do... It's not my fault I still like cat milk, it's all creamy and tasty and makes my insides feel all good. Mummy says I smile when I've had my cat milk for the day and she's right, I do, 'cause it makes me feel so good and it's so tasty! :)

Oh well back to playing with Isis, I guess... Please 'sis can we play with mousey this time?! I'm sure mousey needs carrying round the house then tucking up in bed in your tent - at least let me keep a little of my dignity today please...

ManCat Monday!

Well being that it's ManCat Monday, I though it about time that I took this grooming thing in paw and gave Isis a dose of her own medicine! ;) It was funny to see how she reacted, now the boot is on the other hind paw...

Anyway she's now clean behind her ears and I'm getting a little of the respect I deserve! :)

My latest beauty secret...

Well it seems that not only am I getting buff since we got our lovely sun room to play in and climb about in, but since Isis moved in my fur's become a LOT softer and silkier! :)

It seems it's all down to the incredible conditioning quality of Isis drool... ;) The more she grooms me the softer and silkier my fur seems to get (the more I squerm too though, cause she doesn't half tickle!) Mummy's so impressed with the change in my coat that she thinks she'll have to get Isis to groom any kitten or cat she decides to show eventually! That'll keep her tongue busy for sure, and might give me some peace for once...! ;)

Anyway it's sunny so I think I'll go work out in the sun room for a bit, gotta keep myself nice and buff for my Sweety the lovely Marie! :)

A thorough cleaning on Thursday

It seems my sweet little sister Isis has got it into her head that I'm not capable of cleaning myself and that she needs to clean me all over on a daily basis! Well any of you who have a sister like this will know the complete indignaty of it all...

I mean does she really think I can't look after myself, or is it that she likes to torment and torture me?! Honestly have you ever had to try and keep still while someone is licking your back foot you'll know what I mean?! Especially when she gets between the pads, it's enough to make you squeal and squerm!

Then there's the washing of my face and the cleaning out of my ears, does it really take that long to get one ear clean?! Trying to keep still while her hot raspy tongue pokes around inside an ear is utter torment and should be saved as a form of discipline for naughty kittens! ;) It seems I'm just a convenient target for her tongue and general grooming obsession until she has kittens of her own. The only trouble is are they going to be the first litter of Abyssinians that could pass for Sphinx cats?! ;)
