ARTHUR's AND THE COMPUTER MOUSE

CATS ON TUESDAY

Every 6 to 8 weeks Arthur moves to another favourite napping place. For the moment he squatts Mr. Gattino's computer desk and has found a nice little place to hide.

But to Mr. Gatttino's sorrow he wakes up from time to time and then likes to play with the mouse. I can hear Mr. Gattino swearing (in Italian of course) and complaining because Arthur keeps the mouse tight and doesn't hesitate to pull out his claws !

As you can see here




Arthur defends his new toy with a lot of energy but then he

collapses on the floor in front of the door,

which makes Rosie worried because she has to check then if he is still alive !

ARTHUR IN THE BATH TUBE

Each time when one of us is in the bathroom Arthur has to be there too. He watches exactly what you are doing.



Arthur the stalker



to entertain him otherwise I threw a little ball in the bathtube



this kept Arthur busy for a while



Of course Rosie had to join in








After a while he had enough and started to groom


When he thought he was clean enough, he climbed out of the tube



and Rosie took over his place

CLEANING SESSIONS

CATS ON TUESDAY

We had rain all week and only 17°C (63 F). What do cats when it rains ? They apparently also want to be clean but not by taking a shower outside.


Sir Arthur busy with grooming, an acrobate could learn from him !



Then he collapsed into a deep nap, completely exhausted by his effort !



Miss Rosie did the same, but with far more elegance, look at her little leg, she stretches it like a dancer from the Moulin Rouge !



and ..... also goes back to sleep !



Miss Pookie is a good cat, she thought Mr. Gattino's trousers would need some ironing so she took care of that !



Lisa choose the Sofa and so far managed not to fall down.



Kim thought she could be a nice decoration on the table and posed as mop ! Since she had been to the Beauty Salon, her hairs didn't grow long anymore and she changes slowly into a short haired cat, except her tail, it stays bushy. Isn't that strange ?

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 !

CATS ON TUESDAY - DO FURS CHANGE ?

CATS ON TUESDAY

Yesterday while we were sitting in the garden I saw a fat cat crossing the grass and said to Mr. Gattino "Look at Danielle's (neighbor) cat, is she fat !" And Mr. Gattino scandalized : "But it's Pookie !" I looked again and yes it was my poor Pookie ! I never had noticed that her fur had changed completely ! When she was a baby and young cat in London where she was born she had the patterns of a typical English cat !

Like Sophie my friend's cat

Here is Pookie as young cat in London

And now !

Since 5 years she is living with us in Belgium, I wonder if the clima has influenced the changement of her fur, because now she looks like all grey cats here !

That made me check the others

Lisa hasn't changed at all !

Here she is as baby with her beloved "father" Max (who died 3 years ago). Her fur didn't change but she changed character with Max's dead.

Lisa looks still very good with her 17 years !

Rosie probably will never change ! She has her little tuxedo on for ever

and I also hope her big eyes !

Arthur was born white, and remains white only from time to time he has black spots when he had worked under a car !

3 white cats !
