ARTHUR SLEEPS

While I fumbled around in the house, each time I entered the living room I took a picture of Arthur.

Here is the result :


Nose in the sofa, Arthur turns his back to the outside world



half closed eye, who's it ?


A little more open : You again ??


Turn 1


Turn 2

Poor Arthur is exhausted from his 24 h sleeping marathon !

It was so foggy outside that Arthur couldn't see the neighbour's garden across the street so he turned back home and settled down on the sofa for a little nap. But instead of a peaceful sleep he got Rosie on his back who wanted to play as usual.


Come on lazy cat, she said



But Arthur pushed her away and got up annoyed !



I can never be in peace here, he said



and yawned because he was sooo tired


He stretched a little and turned around to find the right place


and finally found it. He decided to sleep on both the table and the sofa corner just because he couldn't make up his mind.

But for the big event on Sunday at Man Cat Club Arthur will be awoken he promised. For the Daytona Race he will wear either



this if he is choosen as a driver



or this if he is just a supporter !

A PARCEL ARRIVED

More Week-end Cat events are here


Arthur warmed up his belly squeezed between two ceramic cats, when he had to move his ears (what an effort) because he had heard a noise.





still half asleep he stood up and looked what it was.



A parcel had arrived ! I was quite surprised that it went so quick. I had read on Luna's Cats on Tuesday post where she told us about treats she gives her cats. I found it at Zoo, which Dragonheart had already recommended to me for the little tent which his mum had bought him at Zoo.de.I thought that would be nice too for my cats and finally found it at Zoo.be an Internet pet shop with a lot of choice. I don't know why they had sent such an enormous carton just for two little tubes and a little summer tent for the cats.




while Arthur checked to Vitamines






Rosie jumped in the carton and amused herself with it. Maybe this company send big cartons on purpose so that cats can play in them ??


But as soon as Mr. Gattino had put up the tent, Rosie gave up the carton and squatted the tent for the rest of the afternoon !

A SHORT WAKE-UP FROM WINTERSLEEP

Weekend Cat Blogging is being held by
Katie and Puddy at A Byootaful Life

The Carnival of the Cats is going to be with the "Meowers of Death"When Cats Attack on Sunday.

We had a visitor and Arthur was delighted ! The whole day he had slept or watched Rosie from above the table but was too lazy to participate. So Rosie did her best to seduce him but without any success.

The visitor was a man who had to replace an old radiator. Arthur found it very interesting, especially the case with all the tools in it. Of course he had to jump inside and check its content. The man was a little worried and looked at me "Does he scratch ?" I said no, no, he is a very friendly cat. The guy wasn't assured and looked at Arthur with suspicious eyes. Arthur didn't bother, after having inspected the tools he jumped in the carton where the radiator had been.

The carton and Arthur fell on the floor. The man jumped nervously back. He stood there with a screwdriver in his hand and didn't move anymore. I was afraid that he would leave me here with the new radiator unfixed and proposed him to take Arthur away. The poor man nodded and I took a very offended and struggling Arthur into the kitchen and locked the door. Poor Arthur he wasn't used to people afraid of him and didn't understand the world anymore.


When the man had left the door was still open so for once they all went out except Lisa and Pookie.

They all took some fresh air but it wasn't long until they all came in to fall into their wintersleep again !

I start to have enough to see only sleeping cats !

I have 5 cats and they should entertain me, but what are they doing ? THEY SLEEP !





As many are complaining that their cats are only sleeping whole day, I made this award for our sleeping marathon cats. Please feel free to pick it up for your cat.

A BUSY MORNING

WCB is here at What did you Eat and The Carnival of cats is at Missy, KC, Sol and Smokey

This morning at 3.30 am, Lisa jumped on my night table, pushed down the lamp and pulled me out of a deep sleep. As I know that it is useless to protest, I got up, fed her and went back to bed again. At 5 am I woke up because I thought a crow cawed in my room ! It was Lisa sitting in the middle of the room and made this strange meowing. That was new ! Now I couldn't sleep anymore got up and went to the kitchen where all the others were waiting. Lisa of course ate again.





and continued her cawing even with a full stomac and very loud ! Thinking that she would wake up Mr. Gattino I catched her and petted her, talked to her and put her in my room on my bed. But that she didn't want either, she jumped down, disappeared and cawed from the entrance. Now I got worried picked her up again put her on the table and checked her. I couldn't see or feel anything strange. Now she didn't caw anymore but purred her strange curr-purr as if she was payed for it.



Then she thought it over for a while and finally



settled in my chair where she is still asleep. I really wonder what she has ? She has never been like that. Had anybody similar experiences ? (as reminder Lisa is 17 years old)



During that time old crooner Arthur who had come back from a stroll through the neighborhood, wet like a sponge had also choosen a quite place where he could spend the day. That he could eventually disturb Mr. Gattino apparently didn't come into his mind.



He dryed himself and then looked at me before he fell asleep. (at his tail beginning you can see the little wound of his ulcer)



Pookie decided to drink from the tap, so I had to stay there too







The only one who didn't want any attention was Rosie, very busy with her mouse. I bought her two new once because I had to throw two mice away she had taken the "bowels" out and I was afraid she could eat it. This morning again I found 4 mice around the food bowls where she ranges them during the night !



My cats have got this nice award from Karen Jo they purr a big "thank you" and I join in !

SPRING FEELINGS FOR LISA ?

This week's WCB is at Chey’s Place blog.


I don't know what happens to Lisa since New Year. She started 2008 with a quite unusual behaviour she suddenly became an affectionated cat which hasn't happened since a very long time as she is now in her 17th year.



Of course one thing hasn't changed she always eats a lot and besides her new affection for me she still prefers eating in the first place. Lisa is a stomac with four paws !


Now she always accompagnies me to my "litterbox" and if I don't leave the door open she would scratch and meow until I give up any resistance.


Sometimes she just sits in the middle of a room and meauws strangely it sounds like a rusted trompet.


Suddenly she always sleeps on my bed which hadn't happened either since a long time.


and jumps on my night table knocking over my radio and other things, especially around 4 am because she wants to eat !



She observes me in the kitchen !




and wants always to sit at my computer



and sometimes she sleeps in the sink.

For the moment Lisa does everything to be in my way ! But she also wants to be petted all the time and jumps on my or Mr. Gattino's lap. She always was a very indipendant cat and suddenly she wants company 24 h a day ! Not Pookie and Rosie of course, she still doesn't like her sisters at all ! I wonder if she has spring feelings at her old age and far in advance ! Being spayed doesn't mean to give up love life, platonic of course !
