CATS ON TUESDAY





I am on my way back home, after 10 days  with my friends Anne and Douglas living in Eastbourne (UK) at the sea.

Last year when I was there, they still had 3 cats. But due to their old age Pepsi died shortly after Christmas and Lilli in March. Very sad for my friends but both cats were nearly 19.

Now there is only Sophie left. Sophie is a real cuddle cat, but she too is 18 years old and became a little bony. She leads now a very quiet cat life, sits mostly under the car and watches the street, she still eats quiet well, sits on all available laps, but is not the same like last year anymore.





Here she is, quiet difficult to take a good picture of her because she always wanted to sniff at my camera !

On Sunday we were invited for lunch and I met Dolly. When I saw her first I thought it was Kim ! they look the same !



Dolly has her own bedroom in the kitchen cupboard, where she spends her days when she doesn't go out to do her little walks around the house and the garden.






A very special bed, besides the bin.



Dolly lives together with Rushka, a very friendly dog, he has some difficulties to walk, he is 12 years old, but still brings a ball to play with him.

Now I am curious to hear all the adventures Mr. G. had with our 4 cats. Arthur certainly kept him busy !

Pookie is the only one who feels that something not normal is in the air, when she sees my packed suitcase.



She loves to sleep on it but certainly doesn't want to come with me !

Rosie thought





and that's the bitter truth, he will meow loud and terrorize Mr. G. until he gives in and shares his human junk food with him ! Arthur is able to jump into your plate if necessary




Before I left the house I saw him with a green crown, little green grains which sticked on his head !



And I arrived in Eastbourne (UK) on Thursday evening where I stay with friends for a week,  after a nice excursion to Stonehenge and a very special sightseeing view on London in its Olympic games dress ! One day before the opening there was Olympic fever in the whole city ! I noticed later that on my train a few groups of athletes were travelling too and were greated with banners and music !

I'll be back next Monday !

CATS ON TUESDAY

We have guests for a week.



Dominique's new birds !

While we put the cage in the guest room, Arthur fortunately wasn't there. When later I checked on them and put the radio on, so that they had a little music, and I opened the door to get out, like a flash Arthur was in ! I just catched him in front of the cage and carried an angry and struggling Arthur in my arms out of the room and locked the door ! I was exhausted.



But it got worse, he stayed there soonly followed by Rosie. But Rosie hadn't seen the birds and wondered why Arthur made such a mess and was sitting in front of a closed door, she finally went away because there was nothing interesting.



But Arthur who had murdered Dominique's birds before, had gotten killer instincts and didn't want to leave. He sat there for at least half an hour or even more singing all the songs he know, with his loud horror movie voice. When I considered to put earplugs in my ears, he finally gave up and very upset left the door and disappeared !  I enjoyed the silence !



Since two days the sun is shining and Rosie checks the street. But she always stays around the house, so when she saw me with my little red square in my hand (which is my camera) she quickly returned to great me.



While the grass is growing and growing and I couldn't mow the lawn because it rained, Rosie (and the others) are very happy about this. Rosie looks with pleasure over her "salad" field. Apparently the grass is very good this year.



Pookie as a lazy lady prefers laying on the couch and admires my birthday bouquet, which lasted one week.

No news from Kim, we see her from far around the house. This night at 3 am I woke up and saw her checking Rosie's food bowl, so I went to the kitchen to feed her and what did she do this silly girl ? she ran away !! I really don't know what to do with her, she needs badly to go to the groomer lady, but I can't make an appointment when I can't catch her !

Please leave your link and visit the others.
