ROSIE IS EXHAUSTED

CATS ON TUESDAY

CATS ON TUESDAY

The whole day I was looking for Arthur in the house, basement and outside ! He were nowhere ! Mr. G. joined in and we both started a thorough investigation.



and finally found him where we never had expected ! He was sleeping peacefully in Rosie's



cat tree where he never had put a paw and we have this thing since 4 years ! He was so lazy that he even didn't come out for food and ate hers which was just standing in front of his nose !



I noticed on Monday evening last week, that poor little Rosie walked on 3 paws. Next day I took her to the vet. She said that a claw was sore in her paw and gave her a shot. Then the big question was how to give her a pill for four days ! Rosie doesn't eat anything but her dry food and even the pill diluted with water and put in a syringe wouldn't work because she spits it out. So I asked the vet if I could give her the shots instead of coming back every day. Of course she said if you are not afraid of syringes and I am not.



For four days Mr. G. picked her up, and held her while I lifted the fur and shot ! She was a little surprised by this daily treatment and watched us with suspicious eyes when we approached, but otherwise it went smoothly and without problems.



Unfortunately now after 4 days she still walks on 3 paws, the leg is not swollen anymore and I can't see anything at her paw. She behaves like usual, eats and goes out but everything on 3 paws, so this evening I have to go back to the vet to see if there isn't something else.



Pookie is happy that Mr. G. has a cold and spends most of his time in his bed caughing and sneezing. Therefore she decided to take over the job of a nurse, calls herself "Nurse Pookie" and takes care of him.



Arthur having enough of being squeezed in the cat house decided to move also into the bed. Now they are three !

THE PERFECT HOUSEWIFE

As I only came back from Egypt on Thursday night and had to prepare the next day our trip to Amsterdam for the weekend to celebrate the first birthday of our grandson Toby, I don't have a lot to tell about my little darlings except to show you how I have to change the bedsheets with a not moving Arthur ! That's a story in itself !



Arthur sleeps peacefully on Mr. G's bed



to take the cover off the quilt, I lifted him up and put him on the bedsheet. He only moves a little. But then he really woke up, jumped onto the window sill



and looked from outside what I am going to do wondering probably why I had put the whole bed equipment on the sill.



Stubborn, he decided to jump back on the bed



and sat on the old sheet,



decided not to move and started a new nap



Again I had to lift him up, took the sheets away and put him back on the matress where he decided to continue to sleep.



I prepared a new bought sheet, took it out of the package and tried to spread it over the matress

He slept.



I started to pull over the new sheet. Arthur didn't move
I pulled further, Arthur slept.



Finally I lifted him up and put him down, while I tried to pull the red sheet over the matress.



Arthur behaved like a potatoe bag. I had to lift him up again, put him at the end of the bed and finally managed to get the red sheet in place. Arthur, pretending to wake up, immediately moved on the fresh sheet.



Finally moving him from left to right and up and down, the bed was finally made



Now he was thinking if he should sleep on the bed quilt or on the cover



He decided for the quilt and the cover remained untouched.

Result, Arthur was happy again, continued his favorite occupation and I was exhausted from lifting him up and down and moving him around.

Now I am ready to go on Holidays again !

I am still in Egypt and after the latest news the little darlings are teasing and terrorizing poor Mr. G.



by helping play cards on the computer and create new programs of which he had never heard



waiting on the table to share his food



only Rosie is zen and read her Yoga book, but sometimes she runs after Pookie or tries to take her place in Mr. G's bed, which provoke fights and he has to interfere !
