New Duvet

Mums new duvet cover got my seal of approval.


She spent at least an hour in the shop on Saturday choosing. It is not often they are on sale and sometimes it is super hard to find one that she will like, and I will like to sleep on.

Yes Gandalf, Grayson and Whitey, we have two duvets on the bed, and a quilt and a big mink fleece blanket. Our house is old and wooden and cold in winter, so we need lots of things to snuggle under. Well mum snuggles under, I am a topcat as I sleep on top of the covers.

Under the Covers

When I helps my mum make the bed, I like to slide between her two duvets.

This makes a little tent for me to hide in.

I wish she would leave the camera behind though.

Weekend

Today is the weekend, but my mum had to go to work. She still managed to get some washing done, and the dishes. Ohhhhhhhhh and my fave thing, changing the sheets, and then the duvets. Duvets are hard work, but mum loves to climb under the clean bedding on a Saturday night.

Mum did a few big photo shoots during the week, so if you see lots of photos that look like they were taken on the same day, they probably were. Mum says this one shows my happy tail. It is hard for her to get a picture of me looking at the flashy box, as I likes to look away from it, as it is sooo annoying. That is why she reckons she has to take lots of snapshots.

My Friday Friend

My Friday Friend is back!! That's right, some of these Fridays we want to introduce you to a new friend we have met blogging. We have noticed that some bloggers have retired, and new ones are popping up all over the place.

Our new friend Jill lives at http://justmejill.blogspot.com/, and comes from Wichita, KS in the US. She is a mom, and lives with her hubby, kids, cats and a woofie. She paints these fabulous pictures, which you can buy off Ebay, and finds time to help rescue cats and dogs locally.

We hope you can find some time to visit our new friend, admire her super pictures and say hello.

Have a great weekend everybuddy!!

PS my mum says she feels fine and is looking forward to a Saturday lie in tomorrow.

Payday

Today is mums payday. So she stocked up on the fancy feast for me. Our country is full of the swine flu at the moment, and mum is scared that she might get sick and not have enough cat food or toilet paper. There is enough chocolate, mum has a stash specially hidden.

Mum got the wee sniffles back this morning, and hopes that it gets better overnight, as cold and flus are sneaky like that. Poorly one day, fine the next.

Stay healthy everybuddy.

I am always sleeping

We got lots more sleep last night, thanks for purring for us. As you can see the fleece is pulled up, cause it is brass monkeys weather again. The tv is rubbish tonight, I think the choice is between Axmen and reruns, so mum will be heating up the bed early and turning in with her book.

Hope you all have somewhere cosy to spend the night.

A Restless Night

Last night, mum tossed and turned and only went to sleep at about 2am. Which is hard when she had to wake up at 6.30 am.


That is why I look rough, and put myself to sleep at 7pm as I am exhausted. No night patrols night, just a good 11 hour catnap.

Mum won't be far from bed either. She is just going to do the dishes and get her stuff ready for tomorrow.

Sweet dreams everybuddy.

Sticking out your tongue competiton - here is my entry

My friends at http://rockycreekscottieadventures.blogspot.com/ are having a competion for sticking out your tongue photos. This photo makes my mum smile, even thinking about it makes her giggle.

Have a great week everybuddy.

Ray of Light

You can see the tiny ray of light that has come onto the spare room bed. This means the sun is slowly moving around. Of course it is not very warm at all, but soon the rays will get bigger and warmer. Mum is now hoping that she will finally get some sun on her washing line out the back. Might be a few weeks away mum.

We hope you made your beans go outside and get some vitamin D wherever they live this weekend, and make sure they wear their sunblock.

Smooches

Did you guess right?

This is my bird!! I caught him! Now he is deaded though.

Mum says thank you for putting the dead bird on the bed beside her while she was sleeping. It was a lovely present, and I got a pat on the head and told I was a good girl.

Then she scooped him up on the dustpan and flung him over the neighbours fence, sorry neighbours!!

What a waste! That was one tasty looking bird - I tell you!!

Friday Surprise - Can you guess?

The other night, my mum went to bed to read her book. That means she spent one minute reading and then she went snoozing. So I decided to bring her a present, on her bed, just for her?

Can you guess what it was?

Come back tomorrow and see!!

Have a lovely weekend everybuddy.

Bed Positions

This is the number TWO sleeping position. At the foot of the bed, hanging on by a few claws in case her majesty kicks me accidently off the bed.


This is the favoured number ONE bed position, as close to the pillows as possible.

Sadly it is usually only vacant between the hours of 8am and 10pm.

Then it is mine, all mine!!

Wordless Wednesday - Bird Show

Just a touch of marg

Mum learnt on tv3 last night that some of the birds need a little bit of fat to give them energy in the winter. So we added a bit of marg to our bread today. Sorry birds, but we don't do butter so we hope you are ok with the yellow stuff.

I found it particularly yummy, and taste tested it myself first.

Yup, I will give it the poppyQ seal of approval. That is some tasty stale bread and marg - you lucky lucky birds.

Please join us tomorrow for wordless wednesday, and I will show you what happened to the bread!

Minkfest Monday?

When the skies are cloudy and cold, and we know we are lucky as we don't get snow here where we live. This picture is from the end of last week, when there were some lovely red sunsets, that made the houses above us look like they were on fire.


You need your mum to put the new polar fleece mink blankie on the bed, the one that is almost the same colour as you. We know it is mancat Monday, but maybe it should be minkfest Monday instead? Mum says it is the perfect thing to snuggle under and read her book on a chilly night.

More of the Same

It was very dark here today, so we had a lazy one. Me and mum slept in real late, and mum read her book and I helped the washing dry.

Our weather forecast is for wet and dark all the rest of the week. Hurry up spring, we need some sun and some hots.

Helping

I'll help you make the bed, after I have a snooze. Please don't move the duvet, I like it just the way it is.

If I am a good girl, mum will drag me around the bed and she will play with me while she puts all of the sheets on.

Remembering a Cat Who Loved Boxes

Last week was the hugely popular First International Cat in Boxes day, here in the cat blogosphere. Well before me, mum had a special beautiful girl called Puss. One day in the summer, Puss decided she would sleep outside in the front porch. First she slept on the door mat, them mum put a cardboard box with a polar fleece blanket out there so she would keep warm as she was an old girl.

As the months went on, mum had to replace the cardboard box with a special plastic cat bed. It had a pillow in it, covered with a towel and a polarfleece, and Puss loved sleeping out there, rain or shine.

Unfortunately mums computer crashed and lost all of her old photos, so she only has this small photo from her cellphone, done with about 10 pixels.

That Puss, she was a funny girl. She loved potato chips, loved strangers, loved her cat biscuits and mum loved her!! She hopes she is sitting in her box at the bridge smiling down at us.

Have a great weekend everybuddy.

Happy Bday AllieBelle!

Happy 13th birthday dear AllieBelle. Thanks for making us smile all year, for coming to stay with us and keeping my feet warm on the bed and playing with my feather stick and ribbons. We love you sweet girl, and know that you are going to have great fun as a teenager.



We hope that you will not think it too uncool to talk to your old aunty and come and visit her and her cat every now and then.



Big smoocheroonies from us both.



Aunt Ju and Poppy Q
