Lots of tears again yesterday. A lady came to the door with her three children asking if my human had seen her cat. My human had to tell her the very sad news and everyone started crying. Seems the cat was called Bella and she was 8 years old. She was a very much loved cat and had been living in the area since last May. The family came back again later with a picture of the cat, she was very pretty, just to make sure it was her who had been killed. We had kept her flea collar but as the lady said "anyone could buy one of those". She had been chipped but as she had been taken away by the environmental health people it seems they don't check for chips. My human got very cross about this (she does when something really upsets her) and phoned the department asking why, when people go to the trouble of having a cat chipped, does it get totally disregarded when it is most needed? The message was going to be "passed on" I can see my human getting to the bottom of this, she wont let up!
Later on the family came back with a big bunch of flowers (lump in my throat now) and a lovely card, it said "Thank you so much for looking after our beautiful cat Bella. It meant so much that she was being cared for in her last moments." Lots more tears were shed. I hope we can keep in touch with that lovely young family. I hope they get a new cat soon but my human told them they should have an indoor cat like me as they live in a dangerous area. More cats are killed on the roads than any other way. All my friends out there please take care if you are outdoor cats.
Remember "cats and cars don't mix...the car always wins".
Take care and be safe.

Hello again. Couldn't write anything yesterday as it was a very sad time.
My human answered a knock at the door and a young man asked if she had a cat. She said "yes" and he told her it had been hit by a car! Well she knew that wasn't possible as I am an indoor cat, and when she looked it was a black and white cat she had seen crossing the busy road many times. Poor thing was in a bad way. She took it in and both my humans tried to do the best they could; even phoned the RSPCA but it was too late. Poor thing had run out of it's 9 lives. My human said the only good thing was that it didn't die alone and it was with caring people at the very end. This poor cat's humans don't know what has happened yet but my human has left a phone number with the RSPCA so perhaps they will phone us. One good thing about being an indoor cat is that this will never happen to me. Seems hundreds of us get killed on the roads every year because of our lack of road sense. Cats were before cars but cars are stronger than us. Take care and watch out on the roads.

Hello again!

I'm sooooo excited. I have got my first follower! Feline Care; it's where I came from and there is a picture of a very handsome tabby. I think I remember him but I'm not sure. Thanks for the blog chum!

I would have had two followers. The other one is called Squeaks and she lives in Cyprus. Her human got in a bit of a muddle and the whole thing came out in Greek and then got lost in the Ether (that's what you say when you get the hang of this computer stuff). Seems natural to me as she's a Greek/Cyprus cat. We cats speak all of the languages of course, not so much vocal as "body". My human says that when she goes to Cyprus she always visits the Malcolm Cat Protection Society over there. The place is FULL of cats and there are loads of lovely people looking after them. Once upon a time it seems Cyprus was a very sad place for cats but it's not so bad now people are starting to look after them and respect them. My human always wanted to bring one back but she's got me now so she's happy.


This is Squeaks, She's a very beautiful cat isn't she. You have to admit there are certain similarities???





I forgot to introduce you to my humans, I'm not totally sure of their names but I think the female is either "Missus" or "Pauline" and the male is " Martin..Martin...Martin" or "oh I give up."



Have been surfing the net to day and come up with one seriously clever kitty cat.Just take a look at this:




Well that's it my friends, another happy day over. I hope yours was as happy as mine has been. Speak to you again soon.
Love MOG xx

Hello I'm Mog!

I am a rescue cat. I am a very young 14 year old and came from the Feline Rescue centre in East Harling in Norfolk, UK.

I have been with my new humans for a week now and I am settling down very well.

I don't like to talk about my past life, I'd rather look forward to the new one.

It's very nice at my new place and I want for nothing. My humans spoil me all the time and I love it. I have to be an indoor cat as they live near a very busy road which was why I was chosen to be able to stay with them. Being 14 and being used to living indoors, the rescue centre realised I would be happy as an indoor cat. I have to admit I do sleep a lot and in this cold weather the thought of going outside is rather frightening. My humans did try to take me out for a little stroll but it was FREEZING and I couldn't wait to get back in. They tell me they will let me go out again when it's warmer and they can sit with me.

I caused rather a bother on my second night here. Unfortunately my humans went out and put the burglar alarm on out of habit. Of course I got up and had a wander about and suddenly this very loud bell started to ring and it was rather noisy. Eventually a very nice lady let herself in and turned the nasty bell off. It was nice to see her and I had a lovely few minutes being tickled and made a fuss of. She said she was jealous of my humans and would like a cat herself but she also lives on a busy road. Perhaps I can get get her interested in one of my older mates back at the recue centre?

I spend some of the day in my boudoir upstairs. My humans have made me a very comfortable bed up there where I can watch the boats go by and all sorts of other things going on. It's never boring when you live by a river.

Today I was introduced to "Cat Nip" WELL! What a treat...made me feel like a kitten again. My human said she wished it did the same for her but she couldn't even smell it (they don't have a very good sense of smell you know; humans.) I was rushing about like a "cracker cat" for quite some time. Even got the hang of the wooden pole thing with rope on it. Seems it's to sharpen your claws on and they got all excited when I actually used it. It's got a red ball on a string attached and I gave that a good few whacks I can tell you. The humans were in hysterics. I like it when they are pleased because they give me some nice little "treats" which are really tasty.

Nearly time for bed. I go to bed at the same time as the humans. She carries me upstairs and puts a couple of treats in my bed and strokes me to settle me down. Often I get up a wander off somewhere else but she doesn't seem to mind too much. We cats are like that and she says that's what she loves about us so that means we are all happy doesn't it?

One whole week gone and it seems I have lived here for ever. I've got the humans running round me just as I want them. The food's good and the accommodation is very comfortable. I'm sure I'm going to be very happy here.

Night night for now....MOG xx
