LAZY CHRISTMAS DECORATORS

For us it will already be the 2nd Advent and I should light the second candle on the wreath. But coming back from palm trees, beach and sunshine, I really found it hard to get into Christmas mood. Lucky are my Australian friends, they can barbecue at the beach on Christmas !

Rosie was watching what I all put on the floor





She checked a little, but didn't find anything interesting. Father Christmases, angels and other mouselike stuff didn't attract her at all (her green mousie being in the background)



She didn't loose hope to find a Christmas mouse maybe with a beard and a red hat, but no, there was strictly nothing.



Arthur, as usual half asleep, watched my efforts from the sofa, but he didn't move either ! I could shake little angels or snowmen, he just opened half an eye ! Just to do me a favour Rosie looked into the wreath, while Arthur had fallen into a deep sleep.





Rosie thought it would be time by now to do a little wash, the fact that she just used the place besides the crèche, didn't disturb her at all.

And I had thought that they would chase around angels and snowmen, father Christmas and balls but they behaved like angels themselves ! No excuse for me to buy new decorations !

CATS ON TUESDAY - Return from Egypt

CATS ON TUESDAY

When I arrived home finally at 4 am on Sunday morning, I found my little fury family in such a good shape that they didn't even realize that I was back ! After having looked at me and noticed that I am still the same person they all retired to their usual sleeping places where I took the first pictures yesterday morning.



Lisa as usual at the food bowls, where Rosie had gathered her mousies, Pookie on Mr. Gattino's bed, Rosie on the sofa, Arthur in a never used armchair (??) and Kim in the middle of the kitchen table. Nobody had jumped around my neck or to the ceiling of joy ! (unthankful beasts)



I had made an excursion in a submarine to watch the beautiful fishes of the Red Sea and got a Dive Certificate which I offered Rosie instead of fishes.



Of course we had done a lot of Christmas shopping and I had put all my acquirements on my bed. Rosie was scandalized


Sooo much ???



Immediately she found the little cat in fabric



and bit its tail ! I had to take it away otherwise it would be without tail by now.



Finally she realized that there was nothing for her and that she could go back to sleep !



What she did right away !

I get the impression that our Cats on Tuesday group looses more and more members, so I will think about something that blows some fresh air in next year !

AWAY

CATS ON TUESDAY

I am actually on holidays in Egypt at the red sea. This post is prescheduled, as of course I have nothing to report about my cats.

The day before I left, Rosie had a scandalous behaviour ! She washed herself in the window so that everybody could watch her !

I told her "Rosie aren't you ashamed" but as you can see she was not !






Packing my suitcase was a difficult task, Pookie didn't want to get off her new napping place !
and Rosie checked if I didn't forget anything.



When I left they were eating and Pookie was very angry that I had dared to take my suitcase. She disappeared somewhere in the house without saying good bye.

Mr. Gattino prefers to stay home, he doesn't like sun and beach very much, he will spoil the cats so much that I will find 5 fat cats when I return home !

You can find news from me on my Writer's Cramps blog

I will be back on Sunday 30 November.

ARTHUR BOOZED

A few weeks ago The Cat Realm asked all the cats to participate in a "I dare you" and the best dare would be choosen. I don't remember who won but it wasn't Arthur. As he had worked that much on this "dare" I have to publish it otherwise it wouldn't be right.



Arthur invites !



then he showed an example with a bottle of wodka



after that with some champagne and beer



Rosie of course didn't want anything else but champagne



but Arthur invited her for a couple of beers.




I also got drunk when I saw these pictures and that's why I saw Arthur's head double !

POOKIE THE DISAPPOINTED CAT

CATS ON TUESDAY

Somebody asked me news about Pookie. It is true that before Rosie "moved in" I was the personal toy of Pookie. She watched over me 24 h a day. Now she has moved out of my room and has elected Mr. Gattino to her new toy. She never forgave me that I had brought in little Rosie. Rosie wasn't supposed to be my personal cat, she should wake up Arthur who became a lazy pasha between his old girls ! I thought when Rosie is older Pookie would come back again. But no way ! she is worse than a disappointed lover ! She lives in Mr. Gattino's room and comes only out when she is hungry or when she wants to make a little walk in the garden.

All my efforts to get her back were useless so far. But when I come in "her" room then she purrs and rolls around and she also loves to pose ! I think she is the only cat that purrs when you take a picture of her !








When Pookie sees Rosie she would hiss and run away. I really feel bad when I see this.



Lisa has found a new napping place to warm up her old bones. Now she sleeps between the radiator and the entrance door ! On the doormat !




Rosie as usuall has a lot to do with her mousies. Here she plays on my knees



and Arthur, the crooner just yawns when I used him again as model ! This white owl is supposed to be a Christmas ornament ! I found it cute but not for a Christmas tree and bought it.
