Introducing Pomelo

I am very excited today. A family friend has adopted this really adorable kitty, Pomelo. I know you would say, what's so special about kitty adoption. Well, this friend used to be scared of kitties (yes, it's hard to imagine, but there it was). SS and her niece have been working hard over the years to cure her of this irrational fear. AND WE HAVE SUCCEEDED!!!!

Yay for Pomelo!!!! He is a little kitten that the local vet had rescued and put up for adoption. Really tiny, cute, active, playful and absolutely loves being made a fuss of.

Cat in the Manger

Now that spring and the warmer weather have arrived, we are having more birdie visitors to our yard. SS sometimes put out food for them. Although I don't eat the grains, I guard them so that no birdies would dare to approach them without inciting my wrath.

My SS says that I am not a very nice kitty. Wouldn't you have done the same?

My Spring Garden

October has been cooler and wetter than average, so that's good news for my garden. We have been conscious of the fact that much of Australia are under drought condition and therefore try to conserve as much water as possible by switching to plants that do not need so much watering.

Here you see the beautiful Jacaranda in its lilac bloom and the red Bottle-brush. In the left foreground is the Jasmine tree whose little fragrant flowers are just coming through.


You can barely see them but these grow in a circular patch under the jacaranda tree...


Does any gardening cat know what they are? This is a special corner in our garden as my doggie predecessor is buried here. As for the fountain, it no longer functions, but remains my favourite place to hang out...

Tummy Toosday

Since SS had jumped the queue by posting my toesies on Saturday, I'll just have to show my tummy today. The trials of a blogging kitty are never ending.....

Happy Halloween to All

I know it's NOT Toesie Toosday, but just to be a bit different for this Halloween, my cute toesies have pride of place

Thankyou to the Zoolatry for this very special presentation.

Happy Halloween Efurryone!!!!!

We are still having some health and other issues but we hope to return to blogging and visiting soon. Thankyou efurryone for your kind purrs, thoughts and visits. We appreciate your furriendship and miss you all!

Thankyou, Zoolatry!

Some of you may have heard that I am ill. It is true. Hence, I haven't been in the mood for picture taking, blogging or visiting, although I do think of my furriends and miss them.

The Zoolatry girls, however, have very thoughtfully sent this to cheer me and SS up. Thankyou!!!! Furriends are precious.

Sassy is retiring

It is with sadness in my heart that I am accepting the retirement of my sissie, Sassy.

Sassy, whom many would remember as the CCSI executive director and founder, is announcing her retirement from blogging and her position in the CCSI. Please all, especially those with past association with the CCSI, head over to her blog and wish her a happy and safe retirement
