Tigmut'hep's Sulky Sunday... Party Planning! :)

My housemate is sulking again... It seems he actually took the time to write a blog himself and no one has visited it, so he's taken himself off to the boy's room and is currently sulking in the middle of a large pile of teddy bears! Typical I guess, but he's not much fun to be around right now...

Anyway Isis and I have been ignoring him and playing in the run, while My Mummy, Dad and the boy do stuff in the garden... My Mummy sowed lots of poppy seed as an act of Rememberance, while Dad and the boy cut the grass and planted some assorted spring bulbs and snowdrops... They're all tired after last night, so I think I might be lucky and get My Mummy to go to bed early tonight - more snuggle time for me! :) Though I think I'd better make sure she doesn't fall to sleep before feeding me! ;)

The boy had fun being a Mascot last night and My Mummy took a few photos of him and the Ice Hockey team for us all to look at... They're out again next weekend taking him to see Bill Bailey, who I've seen on DVD - he's very funny so I guess they'll all have a good time... But we're a little annoyed that we can't go with them, so are throwing a party here while they're out! ;) What My Mummy doesn't know won't hurt her... :)

Now we've got plenty of premo 'nip on hand, a large amount of cat crunchies and oodles of tasty meat, including some venison (aka vishus deer), oh and Isis is even unbottling a little of her catmilk supply for all to share! So all we need are more cats to come over while My Mummy and family are out to enjoy themselves... Of course My Marie will be here from Calgary and no doubt Tigmut'hep will invite his beloved Bonnie up from Cornwall - the more the merrier is my motto! :)

Just let me know how many cats are interested and I'll make sure we have adequate food bowls and other supplies! Oh boy will My Mummy wonder what's hit her when she looks at the kitty litter boxes when they get back here Sunday morning! ;)

Saturday Excitement...

It seems that My Mummy and Isis are a little excited this morning as they got a card through the post to say that the paperwork for our own Breeder Prefix is now with the Secretary and being looked at. This means they'll be checking to see if any of the possible names My Mummy and Dad have put down are already in use or too close to a name that's already in use. My Mummy's pretty sure she's come up with a name no one is using, but they have to check never the less to see if it's ever been registered - even if it's not in use now. So Isis has her paws crossed that Mummy gets the name she really wants, or at least her second choice if not... :)

The boy is also all excited as he's skating out with the local professional Ice Hockey team tonight as their Mascot! :) He's got a friend coming along to the game with Mummy and Dad too, so it's a big deal to him and he's rather bouncy... That's why I'm keeping my distance from him, I don't like people who move too fast - they make me nervous! Since I want to keep clear of all these excited people, I've decided to have a little excitement of my own and will be transporting myself over to My Marie's in a bit for a long snuggle session as she's feeling all cold and chilly today, since it snowed in Calgary last night!

Finking Friday! :)

Well I'z had lots to fink about this week especially about The Cats Realm challenge of taking a photo of one of your people all dressed up funny! Well since we have to get My Mummy to take all the photos round here, we couldn't very well dress her up and get a photo as well, so I'z made an executive type decision and decided to get My Mummy to photograph the boy when he's dressed up for a BBC Children In Need fund raiser next Friday! That way we'z get a funny photo, but it's for a very good cause too... :) It seems it's not only furry children here that need help, care, love and adoption... I've found it rather interesting to look into so I fink I'll try and explain it a bit for those of you who don't yet know about it all!

Each year since 1980, the BBC has set aside one night of programming on BBC One, to show events aimed at raising money for charities working with children here in the UK. The BBC coverage also extends across the BBC's other television channels and national and local radio channels. A mascot called 'Pudsey', a teddy bear (and therefore close to Tigmut'hep's heart) with a bandage over one eye, was introduced in 1985 and has become a regular feature. Though I hear that they've redesigned the logo this year, but I have yet to see it... Children in Need is a registered charity and you get to see lots of serious TV News People and the like makes themselves look very silly, so all us cats like it lots and spend the evening watching it with My Mummy, Dad and the boy! :)

The boy does something each year to help raise money, one year it was a sponsored ice skate where he skated well over 100 laps of the rink, another year it was collection teddy bears to go to the local hospital's children's ward (this one kind of upset Tigmut'hep, he just hates to see a teddy he can't snuggle with). This year he's dressing up as one of his hero's and taking part in some fun raising events - he's going as a scientist or doctor I think as My Mummy said she couldn't make him a proper astronaut costume! ;)

Thank goodness it's working Thursday!

Oh boy what a relief that the internet is working again and the silly HayDSL line isn't playing silly whatnots any more, the nice people at our HighSP worked hard to get it all nice and fixed up for me yesterday! It seems they too don't like hearing a kitty cry over her need to talk to her furriends and show pretty pictures to her fave cute young Mancat! ;) So here I am! :)

It's hard to believe I'm almost 10.5 months old now! I feel rather grown up when I think about it even, though I do still have time to work on my rather extensive Birthday list! ;)

For a start, I really do need some new mousie's as they keep vanishing! Mummy says it has something to do with my putting them under furniture, but I think someone's eating 'em... I also think I could do with a nice new blankie for my bed, but can't decide on what colour I'd like bestest. I mean I know some colours look nicer against my furs than others, but it's very difficult to work out what's the very bestest one for me... Maybe I should look into getting some sort of fashion consultation and get my colours done, cause I'm not sure I could cope if the new blankie didn't compliment my furs in the bestest possible way! ;)

It's hard being a refined girlycat and learn all these things, it makes my little head spin at times - or maybe that's just the 'nip fumes coming off of Tigmut'hep?! ;)

Wednesday Whining

I'm whining 'cause our High S P has been playing silly wassanames and not letting us kitties get on line for the past few days... This has left us all feeling a little stressed and grumpy as we've missed all our lovely kitty friends and Isis has missed her chance to flirt with Napoleon! Since she's being unbearable I'll let her blog tomorrow, or my life will not be worth living and my ears will be the cleanest for miles around! ;)

ManCat Monday...

Well the day started off with a bit of a bang... The boy (while attempting to be helpful) managed to break one of My Mummy's fancy metal curtain tiebacks in the lounge! :( This just added to My Mummy's already dreadful morning in which Dad had hogged the bathroom, the boy had over slept and My Mummy came down to breakfast late to find a sink full of dishes Dad said he's wash last night... Anyway after My Mummy'd fed us breakfast and managed to get herself a large mug of that tea stuff she so loves in the morning, we all got together and decided we'd better help improve her day! :)

So after My Mummy'd run the boy to school, Dad to work ('cause his work car is in the shop) and gone to a shop that sells those fancy metal curtain tiebacks and found some that would replace the now broken set, we pounced into action! Oh yes, Tigmut'hep and I can cooperate when the well being of My Mummy is at stake... :) We set about snoopervising her removal of the broken tiebacks and replacing them with the new ones! Never before had My Mummy seen us work so well together making sure every aspect of the job was fully snoopervised! Heck, we even decided it was about time Isis learnt about snoopervision... ;) After all we wouldn't want her doing it all wrong!

First of all we ran out into the cat run and snoopervised My Mummy hunting down the drill, screwdriver etc. We called her instructions at the top of our voices, until at last she found the various places where Dad had stashed the tools... Then we all raced into the lounge to make sure My Mummy did the job right! Tigmut'hep took charge of snoopervising the removal of the old tiebacks, Isis decided she better start with something small and snoopervised the screws My Mummy had to remove. She even chased them under the edge of the sofa to stop them escaping while My Mummy broke the new tiebacks out of their packaging! ;) I being the smartest cat by far decided it was my duty to snoopervise the drill and screwdriver, though My Mummy got herself all excited when I sat on them to save them from moving from where she'd put them down! Honestly sometimes My Mummy does get a bit hysterical over the silliest things... ;)

But in the end with lots of cooperative snoopervision from us all My Mummy triumphed and she yet again has curtains that tie back put of the way during the daytime! Purrsonally I'z very proud of our efforts, I'm not sure My Mummy could have coped with such a big job without us... I'm therefore feeling very ManCatly and macho right now! :) I'z proud of my little 'sis too, cause she did a magnificent job of snoopervising, especially considering it was her first attempt! Tigmut'hep did well too and ignored his baser instincts for once and did a great job of snoopervision rather than "bopping" me and Isis on the head - as My Mummy says "Wonders Never Cease!" ;)

Now I think it's time for a well earned nap... :)

Finking Friday...

I'z been finking over breakfast that there are some forms of stinky goodness that I prefer to others... Recently Mummy has introduced some that have yummy eggy stuff in them along with meat, Isis and I often have some of that for our breakfast now! No need to call us twice if soufflé is on the menu... :)

I finks I like the chicken one bestest, but then that brings a whole new meaning to the chicken and eggy question... I mean what to eat first the chicken or the eggy?! ;) The beefy one is good too, but I never knew that cows laid eggys! I've heard that fish eggys look like the frog eggys we get in the pond, but the fish and eggy ones taste a lot better than that frog eggy stuff looks! ;)

Mummy's changed Tigmut'hep's Rx food from the Walthams chicken and beef pouches to Hills c/d as he'd been leaving quite a bit of his food and trying to scoff mine mostly! The good think is I fink Tigmut'hep likes the new food better as he's not trying to scoff my food as often as he used to! :) In fact he 's now eating almost all of his own food before he so much as sticks his nose anywhere other than into his own bowl! As you can no doubt imagine this is very good news for Isis and myself as we get to eat our food in peace for the most part... Ok so we all sound like a small herd of piggies at a trough according to Mummy, but that's kind of peaceful if you asks me! ;)

The bestest thing is that Tigmut'hep seems to be almost nice since Mummy changed his food. He's grumping less, pushing us around less, playing with us more in a nice way (not his usual way of playing "bop" in which he brains me and runs off) and even sharing My Mummy nicely at fuss time! Who'd have finked that feedin' him new stuff would lead to such a miraculous transformation of character! :) Now I just need to know what form of feline psychotropic drug they're slipping into this food... ;) The good thing is I fink it's legal and Mummy's got a large supply of it in for him... Looks like he might not be such a miserable, grouchy, bossy, lardarse, niphead as I had thought after all! ;)
