Today Is A Double Celebration Day For Me

Today is a double celebration day for me. 
First of all it's Halloween, a very special night for a Witches Familiar.

I'm intending to go out and about on the town, well district, tonight so I thought it best if I spent the day sleeping, just so I wouldn't be too tired tonight. I want to go out and harvest the atmosphere of this incredibly important day see if I can soak up some of that Halloween magic.

My peace was disturbed by a very excited River, coming up first of all to wish me a very loud HAPPY HALLOWEEN right in my ear and just when I thought she'd forgotten she came running back and giving me the biggest kiss and cuddle wished me a happy 2 years today joining the family, before chasing me like a mad thing all over the house.

I didn't mind I feel so lucky having the family I have, even my daddies remembered this morning I got the biggest pile of Dreamies and Dentabites I could ever think possible as well as the longest cuddle.

Indeed today is a very lucky day for me.

She Couldn't Look Anymore Guilty If She Tried

Daddy's up and about early, tidying and things. The only trouble is when he's in this clean up mood everything gets turned upside down and he's forgotten to replace my breakfast bowl.

Ah now I see why he's not replaced it, forethought because little legs can jump surprisingly high and little mouths can eat surprisingly quick, he's rescued it for me for later. And as for River...


...she couldn't look any more guilty if she tried!

Shhh, Don't Tell Them

I was just mooching around the house wondering what I was going to do today when I heard Daddy tell River to get her things together, they were going out.
When I heard that I got very excited. I don't always let on but whenever they go out...

...I grab River's toys and have the time of my life but shhh, don't tell them, I don't want them to think I'm just a big softy at heart!

Get Off My Tongue!

I've just tried one of River's new food things, they are special things to help her stop itching.

URGH!

I have no idea why she loves them so much they are horrible.

URGH. Get off my tongue!

What A Mystery!

I'm not sure what Mogsie is up to but he's been back and forth across the road at least half a dozen time this afternoon. Over to E's old house, up the side of next doors house, it;s like he's looking for something.

I called out a hello to him to try and see if I could engage him in conversation, he spotted me nodded and carried on searching and scratching.

What a mystery!

I think I need to get out a bit more myself, stop getting so involved in everyone else's business.

The Mind Boggles

I really don't get it...


...River's fascination with toilet rolls. All the toys she's spoilt with and a toilet roll is her favourite. The mind boggles.

Rocket Powered

I have no idea what's in this new food that River's on but I think it's rocket powered.

There's no stopping her today, every time I walk into the room there she is no matter what she was doing before jumping at me and running around like a whirling dervish.

I think I'm going to have to be getting me some of what she's on. But first I think I'll just duck upstairs out of her way, let the buzz calm down a bit.

A Pretty Normal Saturday Morning Apart From One Thing.

It's a beautiful morning which makes a change after the rather dreary weather that's been plaguing us this past week.

Everyone is pretty much asleep, Daddy is upstairs he's been working very hard recently, and River although she managed to drag herself downstairs is asleep on the chair while my other Daddy is pottering in the kitchen. A pretty normal Saturday morning then except for one thing.

I've just had a catty powers thought. I call it a catty powers one because it came out of no where, the catty instinct is kicking in.

I've been sitting in the sun just daydreaming when it came to me almost as if I was talking to myself. Why have I not noticed before that things are strange around here. I mean things seem to start to happen and then just suddenly stop for no reason.

Sofia and mean for one, I've not seen her for ages she just comes get my heart all a fluttering and then disappears again.

Flash and Foxy and their threats. Not that long ago I was on high alert for an attack and then nothing.

Theo. I've still not managed to tell him what happened when I met up with Purlean, he keeps on disappearing from radar.

Why?

That's what I keep asking myself now I've thought about it, why? These things seem connected in someway, hey even I seem to have almost forgotten that Greego The Pixie is still asleep upstairs and I have no idea why it keeps on slipping from the front of my mind.

Somehow these things seem connected, I just don't know how. I think I may go and try and find Ginger Cat he was going to help recruit a third Witches Familiar to join me and Theo in forming a new Coven of 3 to try and help Greego but even he seems to have dropped of the planet along with Doublay.

DOUBLAY! Oh my I'd forgotten about him as well, he's disappeared to.

Hang on the more I think about it the more I'm sure. I think Catworld is under some sort of spell.

Behind The Ears!

Finally Daddy is sorting out River's knots, they keep on getting caught in my claws when we're playing and I don't want to hurt her.

Behind the ears! BEHIND THE EARS! Make sure you get that bit yeah that's right.


Much better.


And not a moment too soon.

Let's go!

The Beginning, The Beginning Of The Waterfall Of Gold

I've seen it what I think is the beginning, the beginning of the Waterfall of Gold.

It's legendary around here a time of magic potential.

I say potential because yes although every year the tree starts to change it's breath around this time,  you don't always get blessed by the waterfall. It has to magically drift and land on you and there's only a couple of days grace in that, it's only then and then only you've been blessed by the Waterfall of Gold. I could do with a bit of magic's luck.

I'm keeping a close eye on it, I want to see when an opportunity presents.

That Backfired!

Ha, ha! To good an opportunity to miss, a sleepy River, an unseen David-Shiro and a dusting of mischievousness.


Ooh she recovered a bit quicker than I thought.


I need to act fast, this is not what I was planning.


Oh no she's not stopping, that backfired!


Arghhhhh!

Their Wonderful Beauty

These candles that Daddy keeps on buying and very lovely smelling, I've never really taken the time before to appreciate their wonderful beauty.


The smell almost puts you in a trance. When River invited me out to play I happily trotted over.


Not too sure what's going on here, I'm so chilled, I think I have definitely been put under some sort of a spell.


It must be a spell I'm transfixed by my ball and I never am. Think I should keep away from candle sniffing, bit overcome by the perfume. Trippy!

Some Very Strong Words

If I'm not plagued by flies trying to wind me up I'm plagued by bee's and now the bee's seem to have disappeared for the time being I'm being plagued by daddy long legs.

This one thinks it's funny to poke fun at me through the window, he thinks just because there's a plane of glass between us that he can buzz up and down laughing at me.

Well I tell you I shall be remembering his face and the next time I see him outside we are going to be having some very strong words!

Driving me nuts he is.

We just got busted, getting a bit too into it.


And were made to stop.

But nothing stops a cat for long, especially when his blood is pumping.


Curl around, curl around surprise move.

I Can See Her Over There Plotting And Planning Away

I don't know what's come over River today she's soooooo full of energy.
Daddy has had to pick her up and put her next to him just to give me enough time to eat my breakfast in peace.


I can see her over there plotting and planning away! And I'm ready...

Now Where Do I Begin?

Now where do I begin?

Shaking With Anticipation

Things have returned to normal with River so my mind finds itself back on the current issue, Flash and his threats.

I've been trying to catch Mogsie but I've not seen him about, I need to fill him in on what happened in the garden the other day.

I must say River has been invaluable help in helping me keep an eye out. Anyone comes nears she nearly always barks and let's us know.

She's so intent on the job she's almost shaking with anticipation.

Sun Chill - Flash Do One!

Just enjoying the sun chill and today nothing and no one and I mean no one is going to spoil my good mood. 

Flash, do one!


And This...And This

And this...and this is becoming a bit of a habit!

The Genie From The Lamp

There I was all asleep, calming myself down after Flash's threats this morning when all of a sudden Daddy jumped up, phone in hand and ran over to River, flipped her over put her on the floor and started rubbing her belly like he was trying to free the genie from the lamp.

That got my curiosity so I decided to listen in to his phone call to my other Daddy. Now I know they kept it from River but when she went in for all those operations recently they discovered a tumor. They tried to keep it cool but I could see it was worrying them but now confirmation, it's all OK nothing to worry about.

It's such a relief for all of us, I think I'll let them get on with the belly rubs without disturbing them, she deserves it.

Sixth Sense

Wishful thinking is a good thing but sometimes it can lead us down a path of fantasy, and that's where I think I became a bit relaxed and didn't expect what's just happened.

I was downstairs on the table amid the bric-a-brac eating my dentastix when an eerie feeling came over me. I don't know why but I guess that's the magic of being a cat our sixth sense is heightened above that of the usual person.

Looking out the window, the dew glistening on the grass reflecting diamonds of light into my eyes I was temporarily blinded but there out of the edge of my sight I defiantly saw something moving in the garden just past where the washing was hanging.

The fir on my back stood to attention, ears straining to catch the slightest unexpected sound the soft crunch of slightly frozen grass bending alerted me to an intruder.

I knew it wasn't River mucking around I can hear her upstairs snoring and Daddy was pottering about up there. Moving to get a better position out of the sunlights glare every fibre in my body froze as there creeping under the washing I saw him, Flash making his way slowly up the garden towards the backdoor.

I jumped down and moved as silently as I could towards the door, pausing just out of sight on the inside. A slight knock on the door flap, luckily it was locked and couldn't be moved. Another tap of a nose from the other side before a voice began to whisper through the gap,

"Period of mourning over, I know you are there listening little cat and I meant what I said, I WANT THE BURIED TREASURES!" Each word punctuated with venom.

A slight giggle followed, my heart pounding I moved from one foot to another to edge just a millimetre closer but still remaining out of sight.

"TOMORROW!" A final bang on the door flap and he was off.

I must go find Mogsie, this was to close to home for comfort.

The Bionic Woman!

Is there no where safe now that I can get to without River being able to?

There I was catching the last rays of the day on the chair when all of a sudden, scrap, scrap, urgh, up crawled a puffing River.

I don't know what they did to her when she had her operations but she's come back like The Bionic Woman!

How Lovely

How lovely. 

I just spotted River looking a bit lost out of the window so jumped up next to her to keep me company.

In the next instant she pushed me down to settle and invited me to cuddle up and have a little snooze.

It's the best cuddle. Ahhhhhhh.

My Best Doggie Friend

Today is River's birthday.

Of course as soon as I heard her downstairs I went to give her a kiss and say Happy birthday.







Of course I hung around with her at points during the day when she was in but I really enjoyed being left alone with my thoughts about my darling friend to, so many memories.
As soon as I came here she welcomed me with open arms and a licky tongue. It's nothing new it's pure River. No one she comes across she doesn't instantly view as a friend and let it be known. Her loving nature helped me to settle in with my new family, so much goodness pumping from her heart all around can do nothing less than instill trust and love and a feeling of belonging and being wanted.

When I missed my mummy when I was very little River stepped in offering up milk less comfort and a warm coat to snuggle up with.

Rarely turning down a game no matter how tired she might be, rough and tumble in a softly loving way, hide and seek with cheek. Endless hours of exercise. Oh how we laugh.

And oh how scared we were recently when she had to go in for her operations, I know more serious than our daddies let on, breath held waiting for the phone call from the doctors to say she was OK, tears of relief danced down our faces when daddy smiled at me phone at ear.

Happy birthday my best doggie friend, my darling little River what would we ever do without you.
