CATS ON TUESDAY



I think without Arthur we would lead a rather boring life ! He keeps us entertained and busy all the time.
This week when I came home and unloaded the groceries in the garage, suddenly a white flash jumped out of a carton box and meowed loud greetings ! I almost dropped my bags I hadn't expected that !



As it had snowed again he was rather disappointed and was looking for some occupations. His favorite one and which gets worse and worse is stealing things ! Mostly food of course. I had prepared 3 slices of toast for my lunch and saw only two. Of course I accused Mr. G. but he pretended that he was innocent and that probably I had only toasted two, as I am so bad in calculations. So I ate my two and found the next day a piece of toast and lots of crumbs in the middle of the living room. Arthur had tried to eat it during the night ! But that was not all, I had prepared salmon with pasta turned around to get a spoon or something, and when I looked at my pot again, I just saw Arthur jumping down with a piece of salmon ! Of course I couldn't take it from him, then he gets very angry !



He is also worried about his health and was happy to find some grass in the snow to clean his stomach. Then he hurried inside and through up his stomach contents on an oriental rug ! After all, Arthur is a posh cat and knows what he deserves.




But how could I be angry with this cat when it lays like that on my lap while I watch TV ?



and insists to be on family pictures ??



Rosie too, was quiet upset about the snow, she looked after birdies, while I was making my bed. But there were none around, so she returned and played with her mousies which she continues to place in the water bowls.



Pookie had lost her collar so I bought her a new one in red I am not sure if she enjoyed it, because in the beginning she scratched to get rid of it, but then forgot. After all she has always worn a collar with our telephone number inside.




Kim has changed her lifestyle, she is now an inside cat and tries out all napping places even on my bed together with Arthur. That, she had never done !

Cats are always full of surprises !

CATS ON TUESDAY



The whole week Rosie and I had a secret fight about her mousies !



Her mouse bathing became worse and worse. Now it's not only during the night she puts a mouse in the water bowl,  but she also does it during the day, each time I have taken it out ! I am overworked with picking out the mouse, put it on the radiator only to find another one (always green) again floating in the water. I wonder if I should take her to the psychiatrist maybe she suffers from a childhood trauma !



Besides sleeping around she watches TV with us and keeps a suspicious eye on Pookie who does the same.



Only Pookie prefers to watch us and not the TV,  probably she thinks that watching for an upcoming old couple drama in life is far more interesting. Considering her peaceful attitude, the drama didn't happen.



Arthur keeps a closed eye on me while I am sitting behind my computer, or does his 24 h naps as the weather became cold again, when he is not asking for food of course.



Since she has no knots anymore Kim seems to be happy, even allows us to pet her a little and otherwise does her job as decoration.
