Patience

Well Mogsie has finally stopped avoiding me or just waving at me from the other side of the road, today actually came over to talk to me. 

I was sitting downstairs with Daddy, River was running around in the back garden chasing her tail or something so I took the chance to sit downstairs during the day, a bit of a rarity these days, when I spotted him wandering around over E's.

The window was open and so I called out to him, I'd had enough of having all this patience, and miraculously he came straight over.

Yeah, yeah full of apologies and all that he was. We chatted for a while, not being able to say too much as Daddy was sitting there and although he can't speak cat, even though he thinks he can, I didn't want to discuss my personal business in front of him and also I thought sometimes it's best to leave a suitor wanting more so I did. Just as he was getting into it I excused myself, he did look surprised, well what did he expect?

Admiration

Well it's all about the flowers apparently. 

I thought the lighter Naughty Twin was coming over to have a little chat and hang out with me this morning as she strode purposefully up the pathway but she stopped half way up to have a sniff of the yellow roses before running after a fly or something over on AM's pathway. Still it's nice for daddy to see the admiration she had for his handy-work, shame he's not a little bit more diligent when it comes to the weeding!

Respect

Well I don't think I've ever seen anything quiet like that before.

Sarah was just having a little sit up by the Swinging Heart of Love, with the life she leads I think she should have taken advantage of The Wiseman and had a little consult but hey who am I to tell people what they should do. 

Anyway there she was and one of the Squirrels from Squirrel Tree must have surprised her out of her daze as all of a sudden she was spooked. Up she jumped and sprinted and when I say sprinted I mean Olympian speed and without a thought or glance back clear leaped over one of the sheds. Respect!

What A Fathers Day Is

Today is called Fathers Day. It happens every year when it's time for all us little children and big children to think about and show our daddies how much they mean to us and how much we love them.

Disappears daddy spoke to the Daddydaddy on the phone for a long time while Stay daddy was out. I like the Daddydaddy, or more to the point I like trying to bug a stroke out of the Daddydaddy, he's not the biggest cat fan in the world but I'm working on him.

I've never met Stay daddies daddy he went to the other land before I was even born but daddy does tell me about him. He was born a long long time ago in 1930 in a place called Cornwall. The daddies said that one day they are going to take River there but it's a long way away and I don't really like leaving the house so there's no point in even considering taking me their on holiday. His cousin Aunty Silver says he was a bit of a rascal when he was young. I secretly think she liked him, really liked him if you know what I mean.

Stay daddy said he would have gotten on very well with the Daddymummy and Daddydaddy especially as they all liked bikes and racing and things.

When he was much younger than daddy is now he went off to something horrible called war but he didn't have a choice and when he was there he got blown up in his tank and had to get better in a land called Japan.

Stay daddy said that he would love to go to Japan one day and he watches a lot of TV from that land.

When he came back all well again everyone was very happy and then he met Nanny who was Aunty A's best friend who met when they worked in London in an office. I love Aunty A when she comes to visit as she tells us lots of stories about those times. It all sounds very glamorous when they worked in the West End in Carnaby Street as secretaries and things in the 1950's and 60's although I'm not sure what a secretary is.

After they got married they had some children, daddy being the youngest one. He was a twin you know  but she's not around any more. They all lived together in a museum, daddy says he loved it there and had lots of fun running all around the place with his daddy when everyone had gone home for the day in secret tunnels and things. Nannies daddy also worked there in some of the secret rooms in the library, you had to press a special button behind some books to get in there, it all sounds very mysterious. 

Stay daddy has gone out to see him and he cut some of the roses in the front garden that they brought with them when they moved here as a present for him, daddy says he loved those roses, probably why he pinched them.

I've decided to get some of the petals from the roses and leave them out for the daddies to say I love you daddies and have to a special day, not sure what River's got planned actually I'm not even sure if she knows what a Fathers Day is.

Whatcha Got There?

Whatcha got there daddy? Chicken, great my favourite about time you fed me.

Water It Or You'll Be Sorry

Finally daddy let me back in the office, I got expelled for walking all over the computer keyboard as he was trying to work. It's quiet simple give me strokes and I won't do that, I don't care if you are working I needed some attention.

Anyway as I say finally I got back in and was dismayed, yes dismayed to see the state of the Little Lemon Tree. He's been taking really good care of it up until now but I noticed the soil is dry so I had to tell him. Water it or you'll be sorry!

Gratitude For You

I carried on watching the display going on over the road, the lighter Naughty Twin didn't come back and shortly after the darker Naughty Twin tried it on with Mogsie he walked off leaving just he and Sarah on the pathway alone.

Bless her she did do a nice thing trying to give him some comfort and all that and for a while he seemed to be enjoying it.

Yeah for a while, all of a sudden for no apparent reason he jumped up and threw his paw at her, well that's gratitude for you, I'd have slapped him back!

A Love In

I was very much about to get on my high horse. Mogsie, Sarah and both the Naughty Twins are were all gathering over the road and I initially thought a Cat Council meeting had been called and I hadn't been invited. I'm so glad I didn't act on my first feelings.

It turns out not to be that at all but a kind of a love in. Sarah seemed to be sniffing the darker Naughty Twins bottom while he just watched Mogsie rolling around all over the place enjoying this brief glimpse of sun that we are having today.

The darker Naughty Twin went up to Mogsie to give him a kiss. Talk about mis-reading the signs, Mogsie is a cool cat but he's not into men everyone knows that and it was all a bit embarrassing. The lighter Naughty Twin just walked off, I'm guessing she's still got problems of her own to think about without trying to educate her brother. Still at least I wasn't being left out of anything, although Mogsie still hasn't bothered to move his bum over this way. I wonder if the show was for my benefit?

Daisies

George is being very appreciative off the flowers today, he's been sitting in amongst the daisies for hours and I must say they compliment his hair colour. He looks a bit lonely though, shame things went belly up between us I miss our little chats.

I Wish I Had A Big Brother

Sometimes I just don't get men.

There's Mogsie for one, finally showing his face after he asks me to hang out with him and then I don't see him for days. He waves, yes waves at me from the other side of the road but doesn't come over when it was him wanting to spend time with me. OK yes I know that I jumped at the invitation but he made a move and then seems to think playing it cool is an attractive quality.

The second man I can't understand is Stay daddy, he's let me know that tonight his favourite show about people living in a house for months on end is back on. All my life I've had to put up with this. I don't begrudge him his pleasures he does look after us all and all that but I just don't get why he loves watching people living in a house, arguing, getting drunk, fighting, scheming and falling in love so much.

Oh men, sometimes I wish I had a Big Brother to help me understand.

What A Revelation

What a revelation, The Wiseman can still be consulted. I meant to go up there and check that out after the darker Naughty Twin was sitting with him the other day but in the end something happened and I didn't. 

Just now though I saw him up there with his sister and she looked very upset. They were talking for ages up by the Swinging Heart of Love. I couldn't lip read what was being said as she had her back turned to me. However after a while he moved off and couple of minutes later she turned to face The Wiseman and then I saw her consult with him. Of course you can never see The Wiseman imparting information but it was obvious that her brother had told her to talk to him. 

I do hope she's OK, no matter our occasional differences over men I am very fond of her and we did work together on the buried treasures, talking of which I think it's time we called a meeting to decide what to do about the little dragon. 

Where Has Everyone Gone?

All day, apart form a little sleep this morning when daddy was working, I've been looking out the window to see what's been going on in Catworld and all day it's been the case of no one around. All day!

In the end I had enough and went out to see if there was a Cat Council meeting or something going on that I'd been forgotton to be invited to. A search around all the gardens at the back and nothing, not one sighting. Where has everyone gone?

Maybe someone's up there.

Oh For Pity's Sake

Oh for pity's sake, she's gone and got herself over-excited playing with the daddies, she's gone and got herself stuck under the sofa. Someone please help her out or we'll be here all night.

Two Faced

Wow daddy has just shown me a photo of a dear little kitten with two faces, TWO FACES!.

I've never heard of this sort of a cat before, luckily daddy must have realised as he did some research on it to tell me. These sort of kitten are called Janus kittens after a Roman god who also had two faces.

How marvellous I do hope the little angel is OK. Us cats really are a clever bread you know, so many humans try to be two faced but it's only us cats and gods that can actually achieve it.

I Know What Will Happen

So daddy has finally washed Rivers manky toys, thank god they were covered in her mess and drool. Still I guess they keep her occupied and out of my way.

The trouble is he's strewn them everywhere. All her cuddle toys and pulley toys are up by my food so I can't get to it and her blanket is hanging out of the window that I use to come in and out off. I know what will happen, I try to jump out there with it on and I'll go belly up.

Ah bless her though she's just sitting their waiting until she can have her toys back again, ah to be young.

On His Own

Apart from Mogsie the only other cat that's been around today in Catworld is the darker Naughty Twin and he's very much on his own. No one much has been around this past few days not that it bothers me I like my own company. However occasionally I have spotted the darker Naughty Twin and he always seems to be on his own. I'm guessing it's all over now between him and Spit, the break-up of a first relationship can be hard to take, I do hope he's OK.

Hang Out Or Hang Off

Well since Mogsie asked me if I wanted to hang out he's hardly been around I do hope we are not going back around in that pattern again, it took a lot for me to jump at his request. Oh OK well yes I guess I did jump at it a bit quick after everything that's happened this year but he is a fine figure of a man. I think I shall have to just speak clear to him, wanna hang out then hang out or hang off!

Accused Of Being A Spy

Freya, the Downing Street cat, has this morning been accused of being a spy. 

Daddy has been saying for a while that there's people out there that are taking liberties with the information that they collect on those humans and it's recently come out that he was correct although a lot of people thought he was banging on about a load of old rubbish. Us cats are much cleverer we always go under the radar when it comes to such things, no one ever really suspects us until today.

There's a report gone out that she may be a spy, well she's well placed if this is the case although I find it hard to believe that a cat spying would ever be caught.

Disco Time

It's disco time and I'm safely out of the way of River who I can tell is up to no good tonight!

Something Caught

Something caught between your toes Emma? Go on give it a good dig!
