No I'm not missing!

Oh Dear! What a long time since I wrote on my blog. Nothing terrible has happened, just my human getting behind with her duties.

I am very happy and very well for a 15 year old! I had my birthday last week. It is one year since I came to live here and I really do feel at home and very happy.

Have a bit of trouble with the old eyes but my human keeps them as clean as she can, with my help :)

Haven't been outside for ages as I am not keen on this snow stuff...one little sniff and I know it's not time to venture outside yet. I think Spring will be a good time.

I spend my days sleeping in my various "nests" round the house. I eat little and often and feel very fit.

I had to go to the cats hotel at Christmas as my humans were away for a few days. I don't mind it too much as I know people there now, but it was soooooo nice to get back home.

My humans went to Feline Care Christmas party here:Feline Care there are still lots of cats who need homes but most of my old friends whe were there when I was had been re-homed thank goodness.

happy New Year to everyone. I hope 2010 is a good one for you.

Much love from MOG (aka Dot Dot)

NEW SCRATCH PAD

Hello again!

Have been away to the holiday camp again. Not for long though just a couple of nights. My humans went for a few days holiday. He went to Lords to the cricket and she went to a health farm!

I do get a bit of arthritis and my legs get stiff when I'm sitting in a small space. So when I come back from my "stay" I am always rather stiff for a few days until I get moving again.

What a surprise when we got home...a brand new scratch pad, much bigger than my old one and it has an aerobic platform that moves about when I bash the mouse. Gives me a good workout I can tell you. The scratch pad is great as it's so strong it doesn't fall over like my other one.

I love it when they come back as they make such a big fuss of me. Seems next time they go away I am having cat sitters so that I don't have to leave home! THAT should be interesting..more humans to manipulate! They are my human's sister and her husband and they just LOVE cats! Can't wait!

I am really enjoying this!

Will have to take a rest after this lot!

Time to go. Take care and watch out for those cars!

THE LAMB BONE

Not too sure about this hot weather. The humans love it but with a thick fur coat it's no joke. Have been sleeping a lot and not eating much so the female human is sure I'm ill! She decided I must have got a toothache...I ask you! So it was going to be the vet for me in the morning. Didn't like the sound of that at all.

The humans had a deliciously smelling leg of lamb for their supper last night.They very kindly gave me this huge bone to have a chew at as there was quite a lot of meat left.

Not only did I enjoy it in the cool of the evening but then I took the bone upstairs to my female human, I knew she'd love it! It was a bit of a job to get upstairs (I am 76 in cat years you know) She tripped over it when she went to the bathroom in the morning. They did laugh and laugh, doesn't take a lot to make them happy. Then my female decided that if I could chew a bone and carry the huge thing up the stairs; then there was nothing wrong with my teeth! Phew! No vet then.

Update on Squeaks: He is getting over his snake bite very nicely. He had a nasty shock as there was a huge fire near his house. His humans were ready to get out and lose everything they owned but fortunately the fire was controlled and they are just a bit sooty now. Phew!

Stay safe and take care.

MY NEW LITTLE HOUSE

Hello at last!
Oh dear what a mess...my human got in a real state as she forgot how to get in to my page so that I could write my BLOG. We tried all sorts of names and numbers and emails, you name it ...we tried it. ANYWAY! she found it! Here we are and I am so behind with my news.

I've been to the holiday camp again. Humans went off to see Elton John so I got banged up! It wasn't too bad. The girls treat me very well and even remember what I like to eat. They also help to clean my eye for me which is very kind. I pretended I didn't want to go home when the human came to get me...you should have seen her face...I am naughty!

I took a liking to this lovely little cardboard house, with silk cushion of course.

My humans decided that a cardboard box was not quite the thing and so they sent away for this one:

As you can see I took to it like a dream...no draughts...no noise and fits me like a glove.

I've been banned from the sitting room "unless under supervision" this means I can sit with the humans when they watch TV but the door gets shut on me when they are not there. I have a feeling it's because I like to play "trains" running backwards and forwards along the edge of the sofa. Have to admit it's looking a bit straggly. Well you have to keep the claws sharp don't you?

My poor friend Squeaks in Cyprus has been bitten by a snake. He is very poorly. I will let you know how he gets on. "Get well soon Squeaks"

Bye for now. We've written the passwords etc. down now so hope I will be writing again soon.

Take care, and look out for those cars, and in Squeaks case, those snakes!

Oh dear! It's been such a long time since I pawed in my blog. I have been so busy you know.

I had a bit of an adventure in a cattery. Very smart place with central heating and all the comforts. Took my own bed and my favourite toys and could chose whatever I wanted to eat!

I had a bit of trouble trying to climb to the second floor of my room as my old legs aren't as good as they used to be but the people there sorted me out. I had my ears seen to (sometimes they are a nuisance and itch!) and the ladies there were amazed that I didn't struggle and didn't need two people to hold me. My human was very unhappy to leave me but I was just fine. I was pleased to see her when she got back and she was surprised I didn't sulk! Life's too short for sulking.

I am allowed out in the garden now when the sun is shining. It's a very pretty garden with lots of interesting things to sniff at. First time out I managed to find an escape route. My human went ballistic! Don't know what all the fuss was about as that's what cats do. No harm done though as she always comes out with me and she has closed the hole up now. I didn't really want to get out I was just being a normal curious cat. Wow did she give me a lecture!

I have found a wonderful hole which smells of mice! I sit for hours looking at this hole and one day I will catch a mouse and when I do I will give it to my human and she will love it. She has given me some pretend mice to play with which are very nice and she gets so happy when I take them up to her (making "I've got a mouse" noises) and put them by her bed every morning. Just imagine how happy she will be one day when I present her with a real mouse! She'll love it!

I did try it with a centipede one day but she wasn't too keen on that.

Here are just a few photos of me with my "mouse" and another of me sunbathing!

Bye for now and take care of yourselves.
