CATS ON TUESDAY

CATS ON TUESDAY

After a normal quiet cat life week, Saturday it was suddenly interrupted by a very special visitor ! A mini human ! To "normal" humans my cats are used to, but mini once, that's a little different. They make strange noises and are moving arms and legs around as if they were in a swimming pool. This little human is my 6 months old grandson Toby. He is a very good little guy and only cries a bit when he is hungry and for that he is very ponctual. So my cats weren't really bothered by him. Pookie even stayed with us in the living room and allowed him to watch her.





Arthur, has nothing against mini humans and even allows them to pet him, so he didn't bother at all when little Toby tried to touch him.



Rosie had disappeared somewhere and came back exhausted when the mini human with his maxi parents were gone and sniffed at the baby stuff and finally slept the whole morning on this little baby carpet.



before she was looking for a sunny place in the garden



where she spent the rest of the afternoon taking a sunbath.



Kim always surprises me ! She never fights and is such a strange and shy cat, but when it comes to defend her house against other species than cats or dogs, she apparently transformes herself into a black panther ! When I opened the stores in the morning I saw a fox on our terrace staring at me. This was the first time since 35 years I live in this house that I saw a fox ! I don't even remember when I saw a fox last time running free ! I have seen some in the Antwerp zoo ! And what did Kim do ?? she jumped from I don't know where and chased the fox away ! I just had time to grap my camera and make a picture ! I wonder if the fox dares to come back !

NOTHING TO EAT IN THIS HOUSE !

As you can see, Rosie is a happy little cat with lots of mousies to play with. But apparently they are not enough.



She wanted to give a special treat to her beloved Arthur. So during one night she catched a real mouse,



and generously put it in his water bowl. Unthankful Arthur didn't even notice this special present, emptied his food bowl and looked for clean water in the sink. He doesn't like mouse cocktails !



Mr. G. has returned from Italy and Pookie is happy ! First she checked the suitcase to see if it was to be unpacked or packed. The flight hangers proved her that he had come back for good, so she left my room and moved back into Mr. G's room and bed, no night fights anymore and a harmonious snoring concert together when, tired from the early flight Mr. G. had a little afternoon nap.



Arthur too is happy ! His Mortadella supplier is back ! Diet is finished, so with a full stomac he collapsed on Mr. G's lap who just watched a crime story and therefore has this serious look. It's difficult to laugh when somebody is just stabbed, fortunately only on the screen.



Pookie doesn't care about crime stories, as long as no blood dribbled on the floor so she lay happily under the TV and yawned, satisfied that the household is complete again and the daily routine back.

WHAT IS YOUR MOTHERTONGUE ?

Since Mr. G. is on holidays, a territory war broke out between Pookie and Rosie. Pookie since her arrival in our house had always been my "personal" cat and had moved out of my bed into the bed of Mr. G. when we brought in Rosie. Since Rosie was a baby she had slept besides me, and Pookie apparently didn't bother. But now that Mr.G's bed is empty she wants to sleep also in my bed. The one who takes the place first remains and hisses away the other.



This night Pookie slept besides my bed, as Rosie squatted on it. Sometimes they both sleep on my bed peacefully, as long as it is dark, and they don't see each other. Who pretends that cats can see in darkness ? Mine are an exception then. As soon as I switch on the light and they realize that they are both laying on my bed, the hissing starts again and one leaves. There is no winner. What should I do, besides telling them to stop it. They don't listen anyway.



Rosie can be vicious ! she hides under the table and when Pookie walks by she gives her a slap with her paw !



As the weather is so summerly warm, she meditates about future attacks on Pookie in the garden.



Arthur eats his cat food and is not at all interested in what I am eating, because there is no Mortadella. He is mostly outside and sleeps somewhere in the bushes or in some neighbor's bed. He is not complicated.



or he sits besides Kim.



Kim as usual doesn't bother about changements in the household. She leads her usual life outside and comes in for food.
