She's Looking So Bemused!

The lighter Naughty Twin still hasn't given birth yet.

I think she must be finding things very uncomfortable now, she's been wandering around everywhere trying to get into a place and position where she can just get some peace, she just can't seem to find anywhere where she can settle for long.

She's not chosen the best place though right in front of River who's going mad in the window barking at her to get her attention. Poor River just doesn't seem to understand though what's going on, she's looking so bemused!

As Cool As

Everyone is flagging in this heat and trying their best to keep as cool as possible. Twizzle and Mogsie have both got the right idea, find some shade and just sit still, even R's taken a leaf out of their book, according to Daddy this year is going to be the hottest Summer on record, glad I can't feel it anymore. Some advantages after all!

It Looks Like It Could Be A Goer!

I've just caught hold of George, he was having a little sit in the sun over at Tiny's and came straight over. He said he'd been hoping I was around today as he had some news about my plan to get Foxy Lectar involved in helping deter the new buyers of his home.

he said he'd run it by Bella, Sarah and the Naughty Twins last night and the general consensus was a mixture of excitement, the Naughty Twins of course, cautiousness from Sarah and hand clapping from Bella. 

He said he then ran it by Mogsie this afternoon who said he liked it and thought it had legs although he said he wanted to think a bit more about it before jumping in with both feet.

By the feedback so far it looks like it could be a goer!

Due Any Day

Wow the lighter Naughty Twin is very heavily pregnant now.

She's been walking around back and forth, up and down, I'm not sure if she's bored, uncomfortable, nesting or just trying to wind up River but she's managing that, poor little thing is going mad in the window trying to get at her.

Ah cat fun time, even when your due any day.

At The Moment! - Why Not Now?

Oh I was so glad that George popped by this evening I'd been wanting to speak to him about my idea about somehow getting Foxy Lectar involved in my brain wave plan in putting off the new owners of his house from moving in and as soon as I saw him walking up the pathway I ran out there to share my thoughts.

He looked at me as if I was mad at first but then I explained it was our best chance at keeping them all here and we were running out of options and time. 

I said I thought we had two options, either bargain with him to get him to help or trick him into it, us cats certainly have the cleverness to do that but it was probably the more riskier of the two. 

It was then that he stopped looking at me like I had lost all sense of reason and a small smile spread across his face. He said he would report it back but the more he thought about it the more he liked the idea. 

George then said that he had come over to tell  me what he had gleaned from Emma and Mogsie. Oh my with all this planing going on it had clean gone out of my head and my ears pricked up.

Emma, he said, had acted very strangely when he asked her, he thought she was surprised that I had asked him to ask her but she said she eventually responded and said she didn't know why, it was just her catty powers had kicked in and she couldn't shake the thought but that she didn't feel comfortable talking about it.

When he asked Mogsie, he got a straight reply that he can't communicate with me at the moment. George must have seen my heart drop a little, aside from George, Mogsie was the one I'd grown most attached to and the thought that he couldn't communicate with me hurt my deeply, I thought we'd had a deeper connection than that.

Pulling myself together I just wanted to spend time on my own and thanked George and said that I'd better get back in, that's when he stopped me.

No Lil' you don't understand. He said he can't communicate with you AT THE MOMENT!

I stopped in my tracks.

What do you mean? I asked

AT THE MOMENT! He didn't say he couldn't communicate with you just that he couldn't AT THE MOMENT!

So he could communicate with me, just not right now! That would explain the strange way he looked in my direction the other week but didn't say anything but that begets another question. Why not now? 

That's When I Had A Brain Wave, A Dangerous And Risky Idea

What a beautiful day it is in Catworld today, the sun is out and so are both the Naughty Twins, catching some sun while they can. I am so gonna miss them if they end up going and I've been thinking of some ways to try to keep them from moving.

I did think maybe on the day of their move that we could hide them somewhere maybe in the garage until their parents had gone but that would mean that somehow I would have to make sure that River is kept inside or she will give the game away and that's a near on impossible task unless somehow I can distract the Daddies from opening up the back door. If they could still see me it wouldn't have been so hard to do but as they can't it's near on mission impossible.

Then I mused some idea's about hiding them over the road, but everyone knows they go over there and so it's not such a good hiding place as it would be the first place people look.

Then I thought how could we put off the sale, more idea's along the lines that the Cat Council came up with but us cats are generally such gently beings that I don't think we would be able to create enough of a kerfuffle and that's when I had a brain wave, a dangerous and risky idea but a brain wave all the same.

Who was the most disruptive being around here, who could cause enough havoc to get the new owners to think again about buying their home, who is evil enough and carefree enough to go in and tear up the house enough to put the new people off. There was only one answer Foxy Lectar!

Oh There's Trouble At Mill

Oh there's trouble at mill, Mogsie and Doublay have just had a very fierce exchange of words. 

I'm not sure what kicked it off but Doublay approached Mogsie and Mogsie was not happy, instantly raising his heckles and getting right up in Doublay's face. A few words and cat calls later and Doublay backed down and away. Ooh I am curious as to what that was all about.

Out Of Luck

Chameleon's been sniffing around this evening, he must have cottoned on that Sarah has moved her buried treasures. Ha ha out of luck Chameleon, search all you want you gotta get up a lot earlier to fool us lot!

So Many Questions And Thankfully A Few Answers

Finally I know what is going on.

I spotted George meandering around across the road and called him over to ask what on earth was going on. So many questions I had for him;

1. Was the darker Naughty Twin avoiding me? - Yes he was at the moment, George said he was a little scared of coming across as they had talked about it but he said the he would, as he had important information for me.

2. What was the conclusion of the Cat Council meeting about the proposed house move - They were planning to sabotage the house sale. I asked how and they said they were still working on a plan but they did intend to make a lot of mess in their back garden the next time the new owners came around although there was a general feeling that they were putting off the inevitable, they weren't gonna go without a fight as no one wanted to move.

3. Did he know what Sarah had been up to? - Yes and this one shocked me. The little red dragon that we'd found all that time ago had some how mysteriously ended up in C's garden and Sarah had found it. How this had happened I had no idea but luckily Sarah had been the one to find it. George said that she's then buried it in the front until Chameleon had spotted her and the lighter Naughty Twin keeping such a close eye on it that she'd had to move it. It was his idea to move it to our back garden because of River being able to chase away any unwanted visitors. 

4. Did he know that Emma thinks that I've come back to somehow help her? - No he didn't know that but he was going to certainly see if she would speak to him about it, although because of the past difficulties within their relationship he wasn't sure how far he would get.

5. Could Mogsie communicate with me? - Again he wasn't sure, he said Mogsie had been playing his cards where I was concerned very close to his chest but he would try and get him on his own and find out and report back.

So many questions and thankfully a few answers. I'll see if I can think of another way to put off the house move, and I'll keep a very close eye on the little red dragon as well!

The Safest Place

It's another beautiful day here in Catworld, in some ways too hot, well not for me I don't feel the heat but for poor River who is flaked out on the sofa, too tired and hot to even move.

I decided to keep a watch over her, as I know she needs to keep a moderate temperature, from the window when I spotted Sarah over the other side of the road looking over here very intently.

When she started to make a move over here I thought that she was coming to try to communicate with me again but she walked up the side of the house. I followed her to see what she was up to and by the time I got to the back I saw she was in the back garden, a very brave move indeed, the doors open and River could have run out there any time.

Anyway there she was digging around in the space where Daddy had dug up a great big plant from yesterday. She was moving her buried treasures, clever cat, with River being around it's probably the safest place hardly anyone would have the courage to come in the garden to search, at least during waking hours!

I Think The Time May Be Coming

The darker naughty Twin has spent the last half an hour sitting over the other side of the road just staring in. 

I think the time may be coming closer to him opening up about what Troy Lamore told him, I do wish he'd just come over but I know these things can't be rushed.

Grave Times Indeed For Catworld

That was a long meeting but it's over now, I guess they have lots to discuss.

Doublay, Sarah, Twizzle and both the Naughty Twins have all come out although no sign of George, Bella, Emma or Mogsie yet.

I tired to catch Doublay's attention when he came out but he was too deep in conversation with Sarah and then the darker Naughty Twin who has still not come over to speak to me and the lighter Naughty Twin clearly wants time on his own as he's settled away from everyone else over on E's.

Grave times indeed for Catworld!

Something That Doesn't Often Happen

The lighter Naughty Twin was heading this way, I'm assuming to let me know what was going on even though at the moment she can't communication with me when Mogsie spotted her and chased over the road to catch her.

Now this is something that doesn't happen often, Mogsie chasing someone but in these urgent times urgent measures are needed and I over heard him saying to her that he was calling a cat council meeting straight away to see what can be done to prevent them from all having to move. She followed him immediately back over the road let's hope the cat council coming up with a plan, no one wants them to go anywhere!

The Sign We've All Been Dreading

It's been a beautiful day and I've spent most of it in the garden with River and the Daddies as they attempted to tame the jungle that's sprung up over the past two weeks.

I must say they all worked very hard, well the Daddies worked very hard, River seemed to spend most of the day just lazing around or trying to get their attention to play entertain her.

Anyway after hours of sweating and pulling and then a BBQ lunch they all came inside and flaked out that's when I spotted Mogsie on the other side of the road walking up the side of his house. He got to the end and glancing down the road suddenly stopped dead in his tracks. 

Something about his gate told me he wasn't too happy and I followed his gaze and that's when I saw it, the sign we've all been dreading, SOLD!

Oh no what are we going to do, George, the Naughty Twins and Bella are moving!

I'm Now Feeling A Little Lonely

The Daddies and River have been out all day and although it's nice to get some time on my own, a rarity these days it must be said, but they've been gone so long I'm now feeling a little lonely.

Luckily R is out the front playing with Twizzle and Mogsie, I'm so glad to have them both around, I always feel safe no matter what is going on when Mogsie's on patrol.

He Hung His Head In Shame

Everyone was settled down for the evening, the Daddies are getting excited about that show with the people living in a house who scream and shout at each other yep that's back on, when the way that River was acting as she looked out the window drew my attention. 

There over the other side of the road was Chameleon sitting by the side of R's car occasionally looking under at Sarah who appeared to be hiding away from him.

It didn't look like a good situation and I was about to run over there and jump in, I don't know what I could of done, I can't even dig in dirt at the moment, when out of nowhere Mogsie appeared.

 

He certainly wasn't go to having any of Chameleons intimidating behaviour and he was letting him know in no uncertain terms who manages Catworld. 

Mogsie confidently hissed at Chameleon who immediately hung his head in shame and backed down, walking around the corner before running as fast as his legs would carry him.

Well done Mogsie, I bet Chameleon was trying to get something out of Sarah about the buried treasures!

I've Not Mastered That Skill Yet

I'm still not sure what Sarah's up to but she's been acting suspiciously this afternoon running back and forth across the road, looking around to make sure no one is watching her, she she forgot all about me and I clocked the lot.

She has definitely buried something in our front garden, I saw her taking a peak on one of her trips over here and went out there after she'd gone to see if I could see what it was but unfortunately as hard as I tried I couldn't dig in the ground to see what she buried, I've not mastered that skill yet but I do have a plan.

Next time she takes a peak I'm going to go out there, as she can't communicate with me I should be able to sneak up on her and find out. It must be something very important the care she's taking over it!

Munchkin Is On One Tonight!

Typical, I've been waiting days for George to turn up so I can have a proper chat with him and who's around to scare him and anyone else who may venture this way.

Yep that's right, muchkin is on one tonight!

You Just Never Can Be Sure What They Are Up To!

I'm now beginning to think that whatever Sarah may have buried in the front garden may have something to do with Chameleon as he's been sitting across the road staring over here for ages. In any case it's producing a fair amount of interest, I'm beginning to think maybe the lighter Naughty Twin was keeping watch out for it especially since I've spotted Chameleon hanging around.

Now I've drawn up a list of why I think he is doing that;

1. Sarah has buried something that is his and has stolen and hidden it but that would be very unlike her.

2. Sarah has buried something that is of interest to him but as he's a member of The New Cat Crew it might not be his, or

3. He did come across here a while ago after hearing the rumor that I was back and maybe he's trying to see if he can spot anything about that, communicate with me, that sort of thing.

The problem is with any member of The New Cat Crew you just never can be sure what they are up to!

Slowly But Surely

I was just venturing out to see if I could see what Sarah was up to earlier in the front garden and had got out the front and was walking up the pathway when I startled the lighter Naughty Twin who was hanging around the same part of the garden that I caught Sarah digging in.

Oh how this excited me, if I startled him then it must mean that he can pick something up about my presence. I called out to him but no reaction so he can't hear me and I'm pretty sure he can't see me as I did my head move and no further reaction but he could definitely sense something, what I'm just not sure of yet but progress is being made, slowly but surely!

She Seemed On A Bit Of A Mission

It's been a pretty quiet day here in Catworld, a bit of those any old how days, not raining, not sunny, to be honest I was feeling a little bored and then Sarah turned up. I thought she was going to try and communicate with me again but turns out she just wanted to have a little dig around in the garden and send River on a barking fit. Um I wonder what she was digging for, she seemed on a bit of a mission and jumpy when a car came up the road and she thought she had been busted.

I think I'll pop out there later and see if I can discover what she was doing!

It's Been A Right Day Of It

It's been a right day of it, first Chameleon turns up again, trying and failing, to be menacing, then Mogsie patrolling Catworld came over my way I'm sure noticed me and now Emma is sitting across the road just staring down the side of the house in this direction.

It's been going through my mind what she said last week about her saying that she thought that I'd come back some how for her benefit. I don't want to scare her away but I do want to talk to her more about this but at this stage I'm not even sure she can communicate with me. Oh George where are you I've got so much to ask and as usual I want answers and you're no where to be seen!

A Flash Of Something In His Eyes

Mogsie and the lighter Naughty Twin seem to have been discussing things and I'm sure they include me.

A little after Chameleon left after his stand off with the lighter Naughty Twin Mogsie appeared from around the back of his house, they appeared in deep conversation and while Mogsie gave himself a little bathe chatter, chatter, chat they went.

Mogsie then took a walk across a couple of the gardens, I'm assuming trying to work out where Chameleon was before walking over the road towards me. 

As he passed by Daddies car he looked up in the front window, right where I was sitting and although I can't be sure it looked suspiciously like he spotted me, there was a flash of something in his eyes. He didn't stop or slow his pace just carrying on up the side of the house and across the back, over our back wall and across into C's garden. A lap of protection no doubt, Mogsie always keeping us safe, even when we're gone.

Puffing Out His Chest

There's just been a stand off between Chameleon and the lighter Naughty Twin.

He was just sitting on the pathway opposite, now that the rain has stopped, and up boll'd Chameleon but unlike yesterday where the lighter Naughty Twin just sat there and observed what was going on today as soon as he spotted Chameleon up his rose puffing out his chest to show he wasn't going to be intimidated a second day running and stopped Chameleon in his tracks.

He must have sensed today wasn't going to be the pushover that yesterday was, I think it must have caught then unawares but that today they were prepared. After a couple of minutes of staring each other out Chameleon turned his head and sauntered over to E's.

Well done Naughty Twin!

What's He Up To?

I've just spotted Chameleon and what I've just witnessed does not make me feel good. There I was sitting in the front window watching Sarah and the lighter Naughty Twin sitting enjoying the last of the days sun when out of the corner of my eye I spotted Chameleon strutting his stuff bold as brass across Tiny and then Mogsie and Twizzle's lawn.

He walked right in front of the lighter Naughty Twin who didn't move just watched what he was doing.

Across the pathway to where Sarah was sitting and circled her.

I could tell she was surprised at his boldness and the threat in his gate, firmly keeping her eyes fixed on him, no way was he going to get out of her sight.

Passing Sarah he made sure the lighter Naughty Twin was still watching him as he passed him and walked right up the back of the house. I must try and catch Doublay tomorrow to see if he knows what he's up to. What is he up to?

A Little Less Scary Than Bates Motel

Those Naughty Twins really do take the biscuit sometimes.

All afternoon the Daddies have been out the front, hoovering the grass, cutting things and pulling at the ground to make it look a little less scary that Bates Motel.

As soon as the stopped and came inside to clean up and for Stay Daddy to check his thumb after hitting it with a hammer trying to mend a bench, than they both jumped up on the newly cleared patch and decided to do a little sunbathing.

Sarah joined them to admire their handy work, at least she decided to show a little respect and just admire their efforts and not try to squash the few flowers that were left. Still I must admit, it's nice to have everyone back around like the old days.

Oh For Those Old Days, The Days Of Peace

Mogsie is up early laying out enjoying the morning sun. I took the opportunity of everyone being asleep to come down on my own. It was a late night last night the Daddies had one of the oldest friends over yesterday which was lovely but as she brought her little dog Emma over with them I decided to let them all get on with it and stayed upstairs on my own just looking out and reflecting on the events of this past couple of week. 

I thought coming back form the other side was the strangest thing to ever happen to me but them there was The Lane of Bells with George and the revelations from him and Doublay about Troy and then all this talk of The Queen of Catkind, my heads been spinning a bit and it was great to take stock.

I'm pretty sure Mogsie knows something too but he's playing his cards very close to his chest, I do hope he comes across soon so I can try to get to the bottom of that mystery. Oh for those old days, the days of peace.
