BACK FROM GREECE

She is back ! Don't be too nice to her for the first day !

and that's what happened ! Besides Kim who probably didn't even realize that I was away, all the others looked at me, faked not to know me and then disappeared in different places !

I haven't seen many cats in the towns in Greece where we stopped but always on historical sides as here around the Zeus temple. The cats looked very good, well fed and were all very friendly. Apparently they are fed by the guardians and the tourists.

Greece was so evident to me, that I had to look on the map to see it's exact location ! (I slept during Geography lessons)

I start in Athens and go up to the North and then down again to Athens. My trip looks approximately like above.

Of course I will miss my little darlings very much ! I will be back next Friday.

CATS ON TUESDAY









-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Happy Birthday Rosie !! I know I shouldn't swear on this day but I can't get this bloody bouquet together !!

Even on such a day, Arthur as usual is a little clumsy, but full of good will !

Today Rosie is one year old. She was born on May 5th and is the first cat I could follow up with pictures since her birth.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------



-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Rosie was one week old when I saw her for the first time. I had put an ad on Internet and found a young couple not so far from our home whose cat just had a litter of 5 kittens. I wanted a tuxi female and there was one. Besides one tuxi brother all the other kittens had other colors.




-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

when I took Rosie home, she was 6 weeks old and getting out of the cage she hid under my bedside table !



-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Rosie was so tiny that I let her sleep in my bread basket !



-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It hasn't taken very long that she had discovered my computer !



-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In September she dared to go outside and discover the grass



----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
and she also discovered the cat entry !



----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Just a little climbing up the wheeping willow tree, but not yet feeling sure



-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In November it was her first visit to the vet, she was in perfect health and got spayed.




----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Rosie's dearest compagnon (besides myself,) is Arthur. They play for hours together


-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

watch birdies and sleep side by side


-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Easter this year Rosie also discovered snow, but didn't like it at all. For that she is like me, I don't like snow either.




--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Rosie plays the shy girl !



-------------------------------------------------------------------------------



----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This is Rosie today. A beautiful little cat. Although she is an adult cat now, she hasn't grown very much and is still small. I can only say that we are very happy with her, she has such a good character and is very sweet and affectionated. She didn't even break anything in this house since her arrival and has never scratched anything either. I never thought I would have once a goodie goodie cat !


and Rosie was honored

WATCH THE CAMERA !

WCB with Kashim & Othello

Playing in the sun that's something for Arthur. He was chasing his tail and turned and turned around himself like mad. Unfortunately when I started to film he stopped and then ....



jumped in my camera !
Silly Arthur !

1st MAY - LILY OF THE VALLEY DAY

Today is the first of May and it is a holiday in Belgium like in most of the other European countries too. That day it is use to offer Lily of the valley flowers to your beloved once and friends. As the bad weather has returned, my cats were laying around in all corners.

I asked Arthur to pose for a picture with a Lily of the valley bouquet to send as an email to my friends.



He was in great shape as you can see ! Lazy cat !



all I could get was this sleepy picture, he didn't even want to sit up, all spring strength had gone. But I wish you anyway a happy 1st May day !



Then I tried a more artistic picture with Rosie. She too wasn't in model mood, lifted a paw ...



and sent my flower arrangement in my direction ! Water was running over the sofa and I had to dry it. I gave up !




Pookie assisted to this scene lazily laying on my bed,



later followed by Rosie who also was very tired from doing nothing. And the 1st of May is supposed to be a labor day !! Not for cats apparently !
