What kind of cat mum are you?

When mum was on holiday she got talking to her friends. They all had a cat at some stage. Half said their cats could sit on any bed or chair they liked. Half said they could only sit on special areas of a couch or bed, and would tell them off for sitting on an area that wasn't allowed.

Me, I am allowed to sit anywhere I like. Me and my mum share the house!

What kind of pet mum are you:

• Sit/sleep anywhere or
• Special places only

We would like to know what kind you are - please leave us a note in the comments.

• Thems the same colour as me!

Why yes, it the fabulous team of Gandalf & Grayson

This is them out in their garden, don't they look good against the green grass?

This is Grayson posing next to a lamp. He is grey too but more floofie than me. He looks like a grey lion sitting like this.

More scenic holiday snaps

Mum stayed on the street next to this river.


She went for a walk in this park, note the kiwi autumn colours.


She walked by this river,


and up the hill to sit and look at this view. At the bottom of this hill is a stream that is heated by the underground geothermal currents, so it is like having a hot spa bath, without paying any heating bills.

Where my mum went

This is where my mum was on holiday. It is called Lake Taupo and is in the middle of the north island in New Zealand (yes our two main islands are called the north island and south island!!).

These are some mountains nearby, as it is a very volcanic area, the lake being an old crater. It has lots of trout in the lake, and is a great area for tramping, cycling and having adventures.

Don't let the blue skies fool you, it was icy cold this morning, and snow had fallen overnight on the hills just outside town.

My kitty spa isn't quite as scenic.

Shout out for Stormy

This is a shout out to my lovely London Meezer friend Storm , or as I likes to call her Stormy.
Stormy just had a great 12th gotcha day that she shared with her brother Castle (or bruvva in London speak).
Stormy has just found out that her Lymphoma has come back again. We all prayed it was a pooh, stuck in the pooh shute, but instead it was a silly mass stuck on her bowel. We knows though that Stormy is getting lots of love from her mum, Castle, her super vets and all of her friends on the cat blogosphere. Storm I am going to purr and purr for you buddy.

You just lie in the spring sunbeams and relax sweet girl.

Hello my lovelies. I am back from the kitty spa, and my mum is back from her holiday. I got a good report card from the spa, it said:

• Cute and quiet
• Ideal weight
• Eats food at own pace and gets on with the neighbours

So, I'm going to explore around the house and check out the smells. I'll try and check up on all of you in the next couple of days. It's good to be home!

Poppy Anzac Day

Today is Anzac day in New Zealand and Australia. These are the poppies the beans wear to show their support.

93 years ago at dawn, on the 25th of April 1915, New Zealand and Australian troops were sent to Gallipoli, a rough and ruggered part of the coast, to attack the Turkish troops and try to capture an important shipping route through the Dardenelles. Many casulties were suffered on all sides and on this day we remember all who went to fight for us.

My mum has been to visit the battlefields and graveyards that dot the coast at Gallipoli, it was hard to read the headstones of boys of 16 and 17 who died so far from home. If you want an idea of what it was like there, there is a movie from the 1980s with Mel Gibson (back when he was cute, and not so much of a drinker), that captures the time pretty well.

In Gallipoli there is a large memorial that faces out onto the beautiful sea below, carved onto it are some wonderful words that say:

Those heroes that shed their blood and lost their lives… you are now lying in the soil of a friendly country. Therefore rest in peace. There is no difference between the Johnnies and the Mehmets where they lie side by side here in this country of ours… You the mothers who sent their sons from far away countries, wipe away your tears. Your sons are now lying in our bosom and are in peace. Having lost their lives on this land they have become our sons as well.
—Mustafa Kemal

Thankful Thursday

Today mum says we should say thanks:

• Thanks to mums nice friends at work who gave her flowers.
• Thanks to our friend Mach at http://machcats-3stooges.blogspot.com/ who is going to help her pussy cats have a blog. Yeah Mach!!
• Thanks to all the men and women who have fought under the New Zealand flag. Tomorrow is Friday, and is ANZAC day, which is a very important day for New Zealanders and Australians (isn't it Pablo ?). This is the only day we are allowed to say we love Australians, so it is very important!!

Thank you also to all our awesome blogging friends. You make all of our days brighter.
