NEW NAP PLACES

I wanted to show you the latest napping places of my cats. Lisa discovered the microwave although it is standing there for years, maybe not this one, but then another. It's only since two days that she is sitting there and is upset when I open it to put something inside, because Madame is disturbed in her rest.

And also Pookie left her "holy seel" besides my computer and moved in an open suitcase and in the evening while we were watching a video, kindly dusted behind the player.




Arthur since a few days squeezed himself between the armchair and the cat house (instead of taking his nap in there) and loves to stare at the ceiling. I checked but couldn't see anything not even a spider. Kim also wondered what he is doing there.


But after satisfying her stomac, she also found a very nice place ....





















the laundry basket which I had forgotten on the floor and found a nice cosy place in there. I discovered this the next morning and had to clean off all the black hairs she left me there as a friendly souvenir.




















And then I found Lisa here, where I wanted to go ! and there were nothing to do, she decided to stay and not move a bit. So I resigned and went to the guest loo.

SLEEP IS HARD WORK

Bad tongues pretend that cats are lazy, because they are sleeping most of the time. But this is not true, it only looks like ! It's not the fact to lay in a comfortable, warm, cosy place for 18 h at least, but it's very important to do it right ! And that means they are not lazy, but they work !

First they have to find a suitable place. The beautifull basket (fitting with the colors of the room) that we prepared for them and placed near the heating is just good for trying it once to be polite.

No, they watch you until you get up, usually very quick as you are late, therefore, they don't have to wait too long. As soon as you leave, they quickly jump on this still warm place, curl up , and take a "I have been here for hours"look. The worst person wouldn't chase this cute sleeping cat away !


But before this moment comes, they have to eat. This is very important, otherwise they would wake up because they are hungry.

Then they really decide on the right place, the bed or a just vacuum cleaned sofa or freshly washed laundry ? And when all this is done, then the real work starts.

They perform their lay down ritual. First the place is checked with the paws, then they turn around several times until they curl up and put their nose under their tail.



Arthur makes the demonstration


turn around




a little wash before

and the work starts !

Already sleep itself is very exhausting ! turning around, moving from one side to the other, dreaming, hunting mice or birds, waving tail , quivering paws, then smacking, purring and snoring.... all this is not at all like we do. We fall on our beds, lay there and get up after 8 h.

Cat sleep is art. It's not important to them that they miss most of the world news (boring anyway, always the same). They prefer the sweetness of a bed.

NEWS FROM MY CATS

When you look at these pictures, don't fall asleep put this is now the way my cats spend the days, as it is November and cold, misty and rainy outside.

Arthur has found a new sleeping position and sometimes he interupts his hard sleeping work by glancing at us just to see how we look upside down.

Pookie apparently likes the smell of her tail and also does her 24 h

Lisa gets up each time somebody puts feet in the kitchen because she is always hungry or just feels obliged to check if she is served.

From Kim it's impossible to take a picture when she is sleeping, as soon as somebody is approaching she gets up.

So what are the news about these little sleeping group ?

Arthur changed the postman, actually he had to because our postman disappeared and was replaced by a postwoman. He couldn't believe it as now he had to get used to a Motorcycle. So when she stopped to put mail in our mailbox he approached walked around and decided that it's not so dangerous because the next day when she arrived he ran behind the motorcycle and escorted her from mailbox to mailbox. I hope I will be able to take a picture of this curious couple.

He also found that the neighbours garden should be cleaned and took off a little witch on a broom hanging on a tree and dropped it on the grass. And that had been the whole Haloween outside decoration in our street. Besides that he is quite unhappy, with this bad weather nobody is on the street or in the garden anymore and therefore he feels lonely. He so much loves human company ! (more about Arthur here)

Yesterday Pookie became very curious because we had a 2 month old Babygirl laying in his bed on the floor and Pookie was very interested in the little hands wiggeling and intrigated was turning around her and smelled at them. We don't know what then happened, because she suddenly ran around and jumped and made a mess with the carpet. Maybe she got motherly feelings and was just happy.

Camille, little baby girl


Lisa founds her momentarily pleasure by waking me up around 3 am, by biting in my hand or arm or whatever is hanging out from under the cover, it's just a little bite, but strong enough to wake you up ! Or she purrs in your ear and so loud that even one who is half dead would wake up. Lisa has this special purr-curr sound, a mixture between cat purring and pigeon curring. And when you don't get up in the following second she just walks over you and starts all over again. I have tried everything but renounced, the best way for tranquility is to get up, sleep-walk in the kitchen, put some food in the bowl and return to bed !

And Kim, despite the awful weather prefers to go out and sleep somewhere and only comes back for her stomac and for the night. There she prefers to stay inside.

Sometimes I think if ever there is a second life I would like to be a cat but in my home !

THE FROGSTICK MISTERY CLEARED

All cats decided to go back to normal Blogger life. They were fat up that pumpkins, witches and other scary stuff were put around them and they had to make their most beautiful posture. Except Kim of course as she cannot change her furr coat and that's not a question of money.

For me it's easier to switch to normal life as I only celebrated Halloween virtually on my blog and nobody put staff around me and I didn't have to disguise myself into a witch but there I am sure my husband would say I wear always this costum.

The mistery of this frog stick has not been cleared.

We have never seen it and we don't now where it came from. Probably a Halloween left over.

Lisa (with the red cat) is to old for such ridicolous games she would never pick up things in a street and also she only goes to one neighbour because she feeds her. Love goes through the stomac. And this neighbour has certainly never possessed such a stick.

Kim (black) either would never pick up something. She even doesn't play at home or very seldom, I think she played twice in five years. She likes to walk around avoid all humans, lays in the sunshine to get white (not brown as we do) or when it rains likes to sleep in the neighbours dog's hut.


So there are two left, Arthur and Pookie (PC Pookie as I call her PC meaning "personal cat"). Pookie likes to play and also brings back little paper or foil balls and put it in front of your feet, she also likes to clean up ashtrays and disperses butts in the whole house, but she is inside most of the time. She only goes out for important businesses or when I am in the garden.

(she hasn't done this yet)

The only one we therefore concluded with the suspicious mind of Sherlock Holmes must be Arthur. He loves people and is well known in the whole neighbourhood. He also likes to discover other bedrooms, and above all comfortable beds, basements with fresh laundry and garages with open car doors. He is a very social cat.

He already brought us twice a very special gift the first one was a huge cordbone belonging to our neighbours dog ( story) and the second a french bread (story)

We still are unable to understand how he carried these big things in our house and that through the cat flap !

A little frog stick is nothing for him. He probably found it somewhere in a garden or besides a garbidge can who knows. And I don't see myself going from door to door with a frogstick like the Jehova witnesses with their bible, and ask to whom the stick belongs (or to convince them to take it) !

Conclusion, he was it ! Also when he always looks so innocent

And finally it's a nice gift isn't it ? I can put it on a cake or on cheese and that changes for a bit, as everything here in the house is in cat form.

I suggest this form of gymnastic for everyday, and over all during the forthcoming feasts.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN !

This morning when I came into the kitchen, I found this strange frog stick besides the empty bowls. I had never seen it and wondered where it came from. Of course one of these little darlings must have brought it in, but who ????

Please help me to find out !

Who is the culprit and brought the frogstick in ?

Arthur Kim Lisa Pookie

Kim doesn't need any Halloween decoration, as she is always in a Halloween costum. Besides the fact that she would run away like a flash, if ever I dared to put something around her.

This is Kim's actual employer, not for long
