Friday favourites

We've been looking through some of the photos from both digital and pre-digital days and decided that we would put some of our favourites up on Fridays.

The first is this one from my not-so-distant tree climbing days.....


The next one is one of my earliest photos. I came to live with SS's family as an adult cat. Therefore, there is no kitten photo to show, much to SS's regret.


The quality is not so good as it was scanned from a photo print. It was taken in the winter of 2002. No, I wasn't any heavier then. All winter floof!

Do you think I have aged well?

Thursday Gardening

It's been rather wet lately and the garden smells nice after the rain....

The hibiscus tree by the garage is blooming....


And our lovely neighbour gave us this.....


Does anycat know what it's called? I don't think it is a flowing plant but the leaves have gorgeous colours. We plan to keep it indoors in a sunny spot.

All combine to give some colour to an otherwise lack lustre garden. Yes, my lazy SS has been neglecting the garden and we have much fewer blooms this year despite the increased rain.

I have a kitty visitor

Mieow, mieow, mieow.....

I am very excited today as I have a kitty visitor all the way from Germany. She has travelled all night on the Magic Carpet to be with me....



Being gardening kitties we naturally want to spend time in the garden, climbing trees....


And high places...



Stalking each other....


Resting by the fountain...


Contemplating life by the fence, like those Zen gurus....


And finally, waiting for our milk and treats....


Get a move on, SS, we have been waiting for ages! Service around here leaves much to be desired.

Do you know who my beautiful visitor is? Take a guess. There have been lots of hints. In addition, she is a regular blogger and has a large following. Go here to see if you are right.

MoMo of Arabia

This is my entry for the Acatemy Award this year, in honour of the great movie. Lawrence of Arabia is one of SS's all time favourites, not the least because T.E. Lawrence was a talented Near Eastern archaeologist.

Sleepy Saturday

It's a muggy Saturday and thunderstorm is in the air.

The best thing to do is curl up with your favourite blankie and toys ......

The book is just there in case I feel like reading. I would infinitely prefer a bowl of treats instead, but SS does not allow food on her bed. :sigh:

Making a birthday cake

Do you think this colourful blanket of mine would turn into a cake if I knead long and hard enough?

Well, you see, it's my SS's birthday today. We are going to celebrate with a special dinner tonight and I would like to contribute to the dessert.

Don't even ask me how old she is. I haven't got enough toeies for counting the years. Suffice to say that she is older than 10 and younger than 10,000.

OK, gotta go, furriends. Work to do for this kitty.

Aftermath of the Party

After a whole weekend of rock and rolling, nipping and general partying, we are exhausted.....

l. to r. On the bench - Ollie and Opus
On the floor - Karl, Asta, Gracie, me, Socks
On the juke box, Ruis

Why is it that only Asta is still upright and looking alert?
