Misery Monday

Well furriends, my SS is back from gallivanting around England (she says she was working. Whatever!). Now, you might think I should be happy, but no! Why? Because during her absence my grooming was sadly neglected. As a result, there were many mats and tangles which had to be dealt with on her return. Hence I am terribly distressed (as you can see) after the ordeal. There are patches of baldness and uneven haircut on my rump and belly as well as neck.

You can't see them? That's because I have positioned myself so that I am in the best possible angle to hide the defects. A ladycat has a reputation to live up to.

On a happier note, I would like to report that my damaged pink Barbie tent has been replaced by a much sturdier house, completed with a chimney. It's grey in colour to match my fur. My bean cousin brought it over during SS's absence to cheer me up. If you biggify it and look very hard, you can see that I have put the framed picture of my boyfurriend Socks at the corner of my house ...

Purrs to new furriends and old

My furriends, The Kwee Cats, have put up a lovely post in which they invited me to stay with them during the impending absence of my SS.

If you don't know them please go and check them out. They are the bestest furriends a kitty could hope for and I am truly thankful that I have so many.

It is with a sad heart that I am bidding a temporary farewell to the blogging world as my SS is going to be away for the next few weeks. The more so when so many of my old furriends - Opus, Miss Peach and FuiFui are unwell. Please purr for them...

One more adventure before being abandoned again

It's that time of the year when I get routinely abandoned. My SS is going off to work in a laboratory in London for three weeks. To protest, I am going to join my sissy, Gracie, in Bora Bora. She is already there, but she is inviting the whole CB to join her there TODAY. Please head over, EFURRYONE!!!!!!!!

The gang arrives in style - in a submarine.....

We laze in the sun and drift on our colourful floats...

Enjoy the sunset by the pool in the evening...

Being a spiritual guru-in-training, Karl takes us to visit a marae, a communal or sacred place which serves religious and social purposes. Asta really liked that tiki....

Please join us for a blast in Bora Bora. Head over to Gracie's blog and see what action is there.

Thursday Tales

As you may know, my SS is an archaeologist. However, besides having worked in Cambodia she has nothing in common with a certain celebrated character known as Lara Croft. Therefore, the picture below is purely in my imagination….

For starters, she doesn’t take me to the field. Secondly, she really digs, rather than gallivants glamorously around the countryside looking for ‘treasures’. Her treasures are broken bits of ceramics.
Actions? Yes, she has to climb across masonry in ruins, jump across stream, into ditches and trudge across deserts and jungles but never with a pistol strapped on her thigh or swing from trees. Sorry to say but this is the usual mundane action ….

Incidentally, this was taken in the moat outside the northern city wall of Angkor Thom. There you go, I wasn’t telling tales, she did work there!

A Wedding!!!!!

Some of the 'older' kitty bloggers may remember Ruis, who has not been blogging for a while. Well, his humans are getting married today!!

So the gang - Karl, Gracie, Asta, Opus and Ollie, and myself - decide to go to the Netherlands to help celebrate, invitations or no. Since there are so many of us, we decided that we should rent a villa instead of inconveniencing Ruis. So here we are, arriving at the villa at Heel, where Ruis lives.....

Pretty nice, huh?

For a present, we decided to give them a surprise. Now isn't that better than any present? ::sniggers::

The ceremony is to be held in the backyard of the house. So all is set for the surprise....

Heeeheeeeee!!!

In the evening we continue our celebrations in a local cafe/bar...

Of course, as with all of the gang's parties, things got a little out of hand. Karl will take up the story. Please visit him, Asta and Gracie for more details and the rest of the story. We got into trouble......that's for sure.

Toeies Toosday

Now that it's winter even my toeies are getting floofy....

Tuffs of fur are sprouting in between the pads and sticking out. A bit untidy but what the heck!

Hard working kitty

Sometimes I wonder why I bother to have a SS (secretary-slave) at all. She hollers for me all the time – “Milk!”, “Look what I’ve got, Mini!”, "Lunch is ready, come and get it!”.......

Can’t she see I am having a well-earned rest under the sun which only stays for a few hours each day if it decides to make an appearance at all? Is it too much to bring the stuff to me?

OK, OK, I’ll come if the offering is ham AND cheese WITH milk. Tell you what, hard work being a kitty in this household. Hope you have your humans trained better.
