I was shocked ! When the maid opened the curtains the world was white ! It had snowed for the first time this year !!! And quite a lot !
Of course I didn't put my paw in this white stuff, I preferred to watch inside through the window what was going on !
The maid discovered her artistic talent and draw this in the snow !
My little cat statues had all a white hat !
It was fun to watch the birds
I remembered that in the other home my brother Arthur (who is in heaven now) used to sit on the table and watched the butler and the maid eating, and then he tried to steal their food on the plate !
I am not interested at all in the food, but I also like now to sit on the table and watch them eating, just to keep them company, so that they are not so alone in these lockdown days !
But that is then enough for the day, I retire and sleep on the bed or in my favorite chair !
It is a long time ago that I haven't seen this white kind of powder ! But she couldn't convince me to put my paw in this white cold stuff ! I preferred to stay inside and look out from my cat tower
The woman who comes once per week and puts everything upside down and on
top uses this noise
making thing, came today on a Saturday ! It's a
shame, I first hid under my maid's bed, then I had to move into the Butler's bed because she followed me withthat awful thing ! What a morning !Now I like my new kibbles but only in the small little bowl and not in my usual bowl anymore. She dared to make a test with me, put the new kibbles in my old bowl, and a few in a new one smaller and it is in ceramic and brown ! Looks much better. I decided to only eat my food out of the new bowl and she finally understood (humans sometimes need a long time to understand us cats !) and put the old bowl in
the cupboard. Maybe I will change my mind in summer !
The Butler has bought a new mobile because he had a very old one which broke down, and now he has to learn how to use a smartphone for seniors ! I don't understand that he gets angry if this thing doesn't work like he thinks.
My lady in waiting called his friend and asked him if he could explain how this new mobile works.
The Butler was very excited !
I like his friend very much and assisted of course to the explanations. Fortunately we cats don't need these things, we have other means to comunicate !
and here they are both very busy ! After a while as nobody payed attention to me,I retired and fell asleep on my favorite chair, because the explanations made me sleepy.
In the evening the Butler was still a bit nervous when his new mobile rang, it was his son who did it on purpose because he knew that his father would get excited if he doesn't find the right button immediately !
What an afternoon !! My servants are really exhausting !!
It is well known that a cat sleeps a lot, but even a cat has enough when he can't go out for his little walk. Especially Arthur !
He was so happy when the snow had gone and the sun was shining a little, so he sat on his favorite place on the wall in front of the house, watching and hoping for people to go by and admire him ! He also waits to tease dogs, but besides some cars nobody showed up. What a disappointment. Even the mailwoman didn't stop and he couldn't walk her along to the other mail boxes.
Rosie not so keen to go out in the cold, used the 5 or 10 min sunshine to take a sunbath on my bed and did some spring cleaning of her fur.
And then it happened again ! It had snowed the whole night and Arthur, very disappointed looked out on this white boring stuff. However he quickly went outside and did his business, watching that nobody looked at him !
Pookie doesn't bother so much about the weather, she anyway prefers to stay inside ! For the moment she mostly sleeps on the sofa in the living room and watches through the window the birdies outside. Besides magpies which reminds her Rosie there is not much to see.
Our living room looks more and more like a dormitory and Arthur's favorite place is in front of the radiator with his nose nearly in it !
Rosie the only one who loves sleeping in a basket, keeps me company when I am at my computer. Since a few weeks she has started to "talk" a lot, especially when she had been on a little tour. She then comes back and makes loud singing purrs like a little bird (I know that birds don't purr, but it sounds like that) and then I have to pet her before she chooses a place to sleep. Unfortunately during the night she does that too and wakes me up of course. I hope it won't last for long.
Kim, still inside cat takes the bad weather with philosophy and spend her days between Mr. G's bed and the living room, where she overlooks us all !
I think without Arthur we would lead a rather boring life ! He keeps us entertained and busy all the time.
This week when I came home and unloaded the groceries in the garage, suddenly a white flash jumped out of a carton box and meowed loud greetings ! I almost dropped my bags I hadn't expected that !
As it had snowed again he was rather disappointed and was looking for some occupations. His favorite one and which gets worse and worse is stealing things ! Mostly food of course. I had prepared 3 slices of toast for my lunch and saw only two. Of course I accused Mr. G. but he pretended that he was innocent and that probably I had only toasted two, as I am so bad in calculations. So I ate my two and found the next day a piece of toast and lots of crumbs in the middle of the living room. Arthur had tried to eat it during the night ! But that was not all, I had prepared salmon with pasta turned around to get a spoon or something, and when I looked at my pot again, I just saw Arthur jumping down with a piece of salmon ! Of course I couldn't take it from him, then he gets very angry !
He is also worried about his health and was happy to find some grass in the snow to clean his stomach. Then he hurried inside and through up his stomach contents on an oriental rug ! After all, Arthur is a posh cat and knows what he deserves.
But how could I be angry with this cat when it lays like that on my lap while I watch TV ?
and insists to be on family pictures ??
Rosie too, was quiet upset about the snow, she looked after birdies, while I was making my bed. But there were none around, so she returned and played with her mousies which she continues to place in the water bowls.
Pookie had lost her collar so I bought her a new one in red I am not sure if she enjoyed it, because in the beginning she scratched to get rid of it, but then forgot. After all she has always worn a collar with our telephone number inside.
Kim has changed her lifestyle, she is now an inside cat and tries out all napping places even on my bed together with Arthur. That, she had never done !
