Welcome to My New Digs
This is my new summer digs. Can you see me coming in the cat door? I have my blanky, and my scratching pad in the house. This is my little room for when it is raining or night time, and I have a little cat door that lets me out into my own private run.
I also have these shelves up real high, with a bed on them for me to sleep on!!
Good last photo of me mum!
The cattery is real nice, and out in the country side. There is also a huge big run that I can go in once I have been here a couple of days, and mingle with the other prisoners.
Mum had no trouble catching me this time. I howled for half an hour, til the car came and then settled down.
I waited til we started in the Gorge, a narrow twisty part of the road where you can't stop to do a big "code brown" in my PTU. It was stinky, windows were down, and luckily mum had taken some kitchen paper towels and water to clean up, and big uncle had a big spray can of linx. Mum says I was a bit too hot and car sick, that she might pay for me to fly back home. Still, it was close to five hours of twisty roads, and the furtherest I has ever travelled.
Mum says home seems empty now, but she will only be here for a couple more days, then off to her house sitting job.
Smooches to everybuddy.

Friday Fit Club - Off to the Fat Farm
Well, by this time tomorrow I will be at the fat farm. Tonight is the last night to snuggle with my mum and sleep on my camping bed.
Big Uncle and Miss Belle arrived safely, and mum took them out to dinner to a sushi train, which was fun and very filling.
Tomorrow morning, they will come and pick us up and we will head off on our journey. We will try and take some photos and mum will post for me when she gets back.
So, have a good weekend everybuddy.

Thanks to everybuddy for checking in with us.
Smooches

Last Tuesday
Somebuddy asked me if this was the only place I have lived in, it is, it is where mum bought me off as a 8 week old kitten cat. But I will go where my mum goes, and she hopes I am not too annoyed at being in the cattery, but it was the safest option.
So, it is my last Tuesday in my house, and on Saturday I am off on my adventure at the fat farm.

Mums camping room
Dis is where my mum is sleeping, on the mattress on the floor. Can you see what she is using as a bedside table - that's right boys and girls, it's my PTU.
Now we haven't left yet, and will keep blogging for a while, but mum might have to take a Christmas/Jan break, but up til then it is business as usual.

Camping Room
Dis is my camping bed, my mum stole my mattress, so that she could sleep on it. She piled up some quilts, so that I could just about peek through the window. In the room, there is this, and an old dresser and my scratching pad. That is it!!!
Mum says, I has to enjoy it, cos next week I am off to fat camp!!! I have to go to a cattery (a four hour drive away), cos mum is house and dog sitting til we move into our new house. You won't get to see photos of it til we move in at the end of January.

Moving Day
Moving Day has happened. Our movers were good, they were early, the company had said they would be here between 10.30am and 11.30, and were here at 10am. Luckily mums besties came and helped her our and were super awesome. Everything mum owned was on the truck by 11.10 am and now it is locked up in the storage.
I went and hid under the house, but came in once everybody was gone. It happened so fast, and was so busy, that mum failed to pull out the camera, but actually she didn't know where she put the camera.
So after a trip to the dump, mum collapsed on the couch and then vacumned the floors, and is now catching up on Masterchef Australia, while planning her canned spagetti toasted sandwich for tea. Or will she go and get a kebab? It is hard now the toaster and the microwave are gone.

Friday Fit Club - How Your Trousers Doing?
It is time for Friday fit club - do you like the new poster we did? Mum did it instead of packing -she stayed up late and made it and is glad it is not a picture of her on it. She is sure I am looking slimmer already!
Mum says her trousers are too tight though, and after tomorrow, the movers will come and mum can get back on track. She has fallen off the salad wagon, but says from next week she will be back into it. She has bought some museli and yoghurt and will do better for breakfasts though. Small changes make all the difference, and it went on slowly, so slowly it has to come off.
Anyway, thanks we know some of our friends are on our Friday Fit Club team, we hope things are going well for you and you are coping with trying to make healthier choices.

Scary Sucky Monster
Hahaha, if you loooked closely at the photos, you would see that this end of the scary sucky monster is not plugged into the other one. That is because it was turned off, and mum bought a cheap one that keeps falling apart, causing her to swear.
She is almost done packing, and the house looks crazy. Things are all over the place, and mum is glad this does not happen every year. Mum would love to be a minimalist and have not much stuff, but I don't think that is going to happen anytime soon. However she has got rid of heaps!! Books, clothes, old furniture and lots of bits of paper.
Mum thinks it will be a late night tonight, and then a very late night tomorrow. However, she can collapse and relax on Saturday night, on the garden chairs and one single mattress that will be left in the house. We told you we would be camping, we are going to be camping at home!! Got to go - have to keep mum on her toes.

Countdown
Dis is my bed, mum calls it the spare bed, but it is now gone, broken down and packed up and I now don't have anything to sit on in the sun. Mum has more or less cleaned out the spare room, and now has two days to finish the lounge, kitchen and bedroom, and the movers will be here on Saturday ready or not.
Then we are camping for a week or so - just me and mum, a spare mattress and the outdoor chairs. That is mums week to clean after work.
Sounds like great summer fun doesn't it?

Clean Out
I have been good and helping my mum get sorted out. She dropped some stuff off at the Salvation Army store today, and thinks that once she gets settled into the new place, she is going to do another clean out, as she thinks she has packed at least 15 cushions away, and for one girl and a cat, that is far too many.
If your mum (and or dad) had a clean out - what would they get rid of? What's lurking in the cupboards?

Friday Fit Club
Staying home alone was good for me, mum was sure that I looked slimmer when she got home. She left me lots of biscuits and water, but no temptations. Hiding out in the garden is good too, as it keeps me active, looking for the perfect shady spot to laze the day away.
This week mum did her first weigh in - and she weighs too much, she wants to see the scale go down. She doesn't believe in diets as such, but is trying to eat healthier. She has been making lots of salads like this one, and eating more!! More you say, well more vegetables and fruit to fill you up. She doesn't eat much processed stuff or takeaways anyway, and is trying to not eat as much pasta, rice or bread.
Packing boxes, chucking out stuff and moving things around is her main focus at the moment, and that is keeping mum moving, and giving me lots of boxes to sit in. Eat less and move more is the trick we think!
***My vet said I had to lose 10% of my body weight by April, so mum is joining me in an effort to be healthier. We're not about the crazy or obsessive fad or diets, we're just making little changes slowly.
