A Diamante Necklace

I've not been able to sneak away all weekend. The one quiet moment I was having was when I enjoying a little of the breeze yesterday morning just chilling watching a butterfly who dropped by to say Hi...



When River decided to follow me again, it took her ages to see what I was watching as I kept on putting her off the scent by looking in different directions, well I may as well make the best of the situation that I could.

When WHS came in River went mad and I decided that was my exit call I was till pretty tired so went upstairs to dream the afternoon away.

A hullabaloo woke me up and I decided to come down see what all the fuss was about. Ah River's doing her party piece again. 

I must admit she's doing very well, I can remember when she could barely make the sofa seat and now here she is bounding around like a Whirling Dervish. I'm impressed I'll admit, not as good as us cats of course but impressive all the same.

These days I prefer more gentile past times and have really enjoyed tootsie time this week with Daddy and some much loved time on the floor without having to watch my back with three of them to keep an eye on River's whereabouts I could play easy.

I decided to do a runner when I saw River on the table and the scissors in Daddies hand, I know I won't get a haircut but sometimes you can just never tell with those two when they're in Spa treatment mode I could end up with a diamante necklace.

Ah How Lovely

Ah how lovely, the sun is shining, River is asleep with Disappears upstairs and Stay Daddy is playing tootsie with me, a perfect start to the day.

Sparring Partners

Well that was a good sleep, I could do with some more but I'm also feeling hungry and I must keep my stamina up.

George looks so lost with his sparring partner out of action, I bet he can't wait until Mogsie is back to normal. Yeah him and the rest of us.

Up All Night

Well I've been up all night and there's been no sign of Foxy, I think it may be the rain that's kept him away. I must admit I was a bit apprehensive in case he did turn up, I know we've only on watch to monitor his movements but the adrenaline that's in me when I think of what he's done is not a nice feeling and I know what I'm like I hate injustice it makes me rear up and that is not what's needed at the moment.

I think I'll just chill myself out up her in the Peace Garden before I go in and get some sleep, if I don't I know I won't be able to drop off.

Time To Step It Up

It's my turn on night shift tonight so I spent most of the day asleep so that I would be alert later. I got up when Stay Daddy went to go find Disappears he can be noisy at times, not exactly light of foot when he's in a rush.

I jumped up in the window to get myself an update from the lighter Naughty Twin who was on night watch last night. I don't know how she does it up all night and all day as still looks as fresh as a daisy.

Yes there had been some disturbances around although minor and the food we'd left out had been taken, so I guess that confirms Foxy is now coming most nights. Daddy said he'd spotted him on Monday night but by the time I went to look he'd run up the road, presumably to terrorise some other cats around here as well.

Spit and Sarah where also taking in the last of the evening light, Sarah engrossed in her dinner, Spit nodded over a you OK. I nodded back in the affirmative. This has knocked us all a bit for six he's not looking quite as relaxed and carefree as he has been since defecting from the New Cat Crew, I think it's time to step it up, we need this nonsense with that scoundrel to come to an end.

After George's Revelation

After George's revelation I've been keeping a bit of a low profile staying pretty much with Stay Daddy wherever he went. It's not that I'm scared but I am cautious, there's no point in putting myself in too much peril but I also don't want to give in to bullies either.

Daddy finally finished work and came down stairs so I thought I'd join him. Foxy hasn't as far as I'm aware been spotted in late afternoon and I did need to get a bit of fresh air and as River was out in the garden I felt it was the perfect circumstance to go out and have a bit of a look around see if there was any Fox signs around.

Of course I had to do a bit of a runner from River who wanted to play chase, it's not her fault I'm not in the mood but maybe she's not so silly after all as although she did chase me all the way up when I got to the back she seemed to back of from her usual habit of jumping up at me if there was the slightest chance she could get near. 

I didn't see anything but I am keeping me eyes peeled, I think I'll hang around see if Craig is around with any news.

The Word On The Street

Just as we were going to be last night Daddy said

Who's that out there?

I looked out the window and in the darkness saw George sitting not far from our step. I didn't think too much of it, it was a warm night, but this morning I saw him again sitting out the front and asked him if he had been there all night. 

His answer was yes, he said he wanted to make sure I was OK through the night and that the word on the street was that I was next on Foxy's list.

What A Day!

What a day it's turned out to be. It started out a normal Sunday, I came downstairs early with Stay Daddy while River and Disappears had a bit of a lay in. 

I was up with Daddy in the window when I saw the lighter Naughty Twin walking by, I called out and she saw me but no signs of Foxy being over their last night as far as she knew. 

I then heard Disappears and River coming down so decided to swap places and go back upstairs for a bit of a rest. I'd just got settled when I heard the doorbell going, curiosity and the cat and all that and I ventured back and could see River going crazy at the window, outside the Daddydaddy and Daddymummy had turned up. River generally goes loopy when they come so I decided to let her get it out of her system before coming back to say Hi.

I'm not sure how long I was asleep but when I did wake things seemed a little calm so I thought I'd come down and see how things where, I like the Daddymummy she came and looked after us and we bonded, she's a very nice lady and always makes sure she includes me, River was waiting so I ran up to the table out of her way.

The Daddymummy came up I thought to see me but then she laid her hands on the table, I think she was about to have a seance or something like that and not wanting to disturb her I decided to go out and enjoy some of the afternoon sunshine, it really is a beautiful day.

It was when I went outside that I saw it, Foxy Lectar do-dah's right by the backdoor. OMG he was within a foot of the house last night.

My heart pounded a bit, it was our plan to lure him in but it's a bit different when you are confronted with the evidence that he's not only been here but so close and so disrepectful but then again what do you expect from such a scoundral!

I thought I'd go up and have a chill out in the Peace Garden and see if The Wiseman was available to give any sound advice. I didn't have time to tune in when I heard it again;

LUM

OMG what with everything that had happened with Mogsie and Foxy this past couple of weeks the LUM from the Easter Island Head had gone to the back of my head.

I would have explored things further but then River and Stay Daddy came out looking for Nadia, he must have seen the poop and realised she would be in danger if she buried herself in for the night. Mogsie had a difficult enough time with Foxy, there's no way Nadia would be able to take him on.


I went searching for any of the group but had no luck, although later on when I came back and the Daddymummy and Daddydaddy had gone I managed to catch hold of Spit and fill him in. He said he would spread the word, our plan looks like it's working, let's see what tonight brings!

Not The Best Place

Not the best place in the world to have a bathe Sarah.

Short Term Pain For Long Term Gain!

The darker Naughty Twin has just come by. He's heard from Craig via the Wood Pigeons via Ginger Cat, that the rumour on the street is that Foxy is laughing at us for being so careless with our food, leaving it lying around everywhere and that he's beginning to think he's scared us all and that maybe we are leaving him offerings.

Our master plan appears to be working but we're in this for a big pay-off, getting rid of him once and for all but we can't risk getting all excited and rushing this. We need to really make him believe that he has really scared us and that with our hero Mogsie out of action at the moment lull him into a false sense of security that the coast is clear for him to come in and take over Catworld.

Right I must save some more Dreamies to put out tonight, short term pain for long term gain!

George Has Just Licked His Lips, The Bait's Been Taken!

I'm up with Daddy in the window enjoying the sun, well pretending to enjoy the sun, what I'm really doing is keeping a watch out for any secret signs from the rest of the gang.

George is out on the other side of the road sniffing around, his role in our master plan is to check each day to see if there's been any signs of Foxy in the district from the night before, taking our bait of the food that we've left out, we've got to be very careful of the information that we put out.

Craig and the Wood Pigeons are helping us but with any plan the fewer people that know about it the better. Some of the cats around here we've found to our dismay can't be trusted and while the cat information network is a fantastic way of us being able to communicate with each other sometimes it can backfire and we don't want our plan being discovered by Flash or Chameleon.

George has just licked his lips, the bait's been taken!

Ah The Sweet Smell...

Every single time without fail that I've gone downstairs this week River has chased me through the living room, this morning was near enough the last straw, I only wanted to eat a Dreamies or two.

I should learn my lesson and just stay upstairs with Daddy. Ah the sweet smell of peace and quiet, at last!

A Dangerous Game We're Playing

The darker Naughty Twin, has just given me the nod, he's heard on the grapevine, well via Craig, that there's stirrings around news has got to Foxy that there's food all over Catworld

Now that things are moving forward I'm beginning to get nervous, it's a dangerous game we're playing, but a necessary one!

Don't Get Too Comfy

I've just spotted Spit sitting in Mogsie's place, um not too sure how I feel about that! I thought Daddy was going over their to shoo him off but he knocked on M's door and got a package, she must have taken it in for him. 

I was glad he did as he came back with information, Mogsie's cone collar is now off and he's venturing upstairs now although it is taking him a time what with his tail bandage and everything. M said that he's beginning to want to come outside which is a good sign although he's still not well enough yet. Fingers crossed he's on the mend now although they've got to take him back to the Doctors later on this week.

It's All A Part Of Our Master Plan!

Everyones up nice and early this morning laying out little titbits of food out for Foxy. The darker Naughty Twin has been given the task of co-ordinating everyone.

Spit is keeping watch out down the road and making sure some food is left over under R's car.

George is keeping a watchful eye over this side of the road and hiding food in the drain and I've been over laying out Dreamies on the garage roof's. It's all a part of our master plan!

I Can't Believe What I Was Seeing

I know River really loves Nadia but I do feel sorry for her, Daddy was only trying to give her a bathe and River kept on trying to interrupt her, drink from her bath and then, and I can't believe what I was seeing, tried to get in. 

Poor Nadia, Daddy had to move her to the table out of harms way and to let her bathe in peace.

Left Handers Day

OFGS sometimes Daddy does amaze me the things he goes on  about. He's just shouted out to me; 

Lil' you gonna wish me happy Left Handers Day Lil'?

No I'm not! Not until there's a Happy Ambidextrous Day, all us cats are you know!

 

Exactly What We Have Planned

Daddy's just shown me this photo of a cat cuddling up to a mouse, us cats are clever! Yeah that's right leading him into a false sense of security, exactly what we have planned for Foxy!

What A Pleasant Way

What a pleasant way to start the morning, the sun is shining, Daddy is hanging out the washing and even though River is out her with us she's just minding her own business.

I can see the Naughty Twin approaching I think she wants to talk about the Cat Council meeting that took place yesterday, the meeting that devised our plan to get Foxy Lectar once and for all!

The Time Is Set

The time is set for 6.

Daddy left the office window open and even though he's now downstairs with River I've decided to stay up here having a bit of a snooze when I heard my name being called. Peering out the window I spotted the lighter Naughty Twin looking in our front window, I called up to her that I was up here.

Cat Council meeting at our's at 6.

Finally it was getting late and I was beginning to think they'd forgotten!

Oh My Poor Love

Oh my poor love, Daddy has just shown me some picture of Mogsie that M sent him.

He's not a silly man Daddy, he's got strong instincts and they are obviously letting him know that I'm concerned about Mogsie and even just to see him would help to ease my mind a little. Oh my goodness he has been through the wars, at least he's on the mend now!

In The Nick Of Time

Sometimes the Daddies have perfect timing. It's a beautiful afternoon and after sleeping away most of the day I fancies a little walk about outside. Just as I was eating a little grass River turned up wanting to play or something, she's also slept away most of the day but typical as soon as I decide I want a wander around she turns up to spoil the peace. The daddies must have noticed and called her in, put her brace on her and took her out the front. Great a bit of peace and the chance to have a little walk around.

It was then that I saw George and Spit squaring up to each other. I don't know what his problem is at the moment but I think he's been pushing his luck a little, last night trying to come in mine and now today George obviously has some beef with him.

The darker Naughty Twin was also out so I called out to him to ask if he knew what it was all about but he didn't. I also asked if he knew how Mogsie was but he didn't know that either, he did confirm though that the Cat Council meeting is being set up for tomorrow, he said he would let me know the time and venue tomorrow morning.

He's Been Spotted, Foxy Lectar!

He's been spotted, Foxy Lectar!

I'm sitting up with the daddies, they're watching some late night show about women in a prison, I don't get it but they seem to love it when Stay Daddy suddenly sat up and pointed out the window. He was so quickly that I knew something big must be going down outside and there he was lurking around, in the shadows as he usually does. 

My blood is boiling if I could have got out there at him I would have, how dare he come around here threatening us cats and how dare he attack my dear Mogsie.

I Can Not Believe It

I can not believe it.

I was just having a bit of a sit outside, the girl and the boy have been over tonight and so have kept River occupied so I was able to sit up with Daddy in the window.

It turned a bit humid and the window was opened and as I saw the lighter Naughty Twin crossing the road I thought I'd pop out to have a word with her about the progress of the Cat Council meeting to discuss Foxy Lectar and what he's done to Mogsie. I was just going out when Spit tried to barge past me to go in our home. What a cheek and before I even realised what was happening we were having a scrap. It's all over now and I'm calming myself down on the front step. 

The lighter Naughty Twin made me laugh though, she didn't get herself involved just a nice comfy seat at the edge of the driveway watching everything that happened. 

Fingers Crossed

At last some news. 

Daddy saw M coming back from the shops earlier and ran over to see her to ask how Mogsie was. She said that he was doing a little better and showed him some photo's of our poor friend. He's in recuperation at the moment with a collar and a bandage and pills and everything and she said that Twizzle is a little wary of Mogsie, I thinks she doesn't recognise him with his new get up and the way he's acting all sleepy and different and confused. He's got to go back to the Doctors on Monday to see how his tail is then, fingers crossed.

A Time And A Place

I'm still waiting for news on how Mogsie is, Daddy ended up working long hours yesterday so he didn't get the chance to go over and see how he was but he's said he will definitely find out today. 

I was sitting up in the window waiting to see if they came out so I could tell Daddy to run over but I got disturbed by River wanting to play or something, yeah there's a time and a place for that sort of thing River and it's not now, thanks for making me have to move.

Still at least the darker Naughty Twin and Spit and hanging around with concerned looks on their faces, I'm sure if they hear any news they'll let me know.
