Tattle Tail Tuesday!

Well everykitty, here's the latest gossip for you... It seems that Mummy's not content with just helping D'boy with his homework or with helping Daddy and his Post Grad studies - on no, she's gone and enrolled in a course that focuses on Feline Reproduction! Maybe it's something to do with my constant moaning about wanting a nice new boyfriend to eer "play with" that's made her think of this... ;)

However it could well mean that I'm a little more restricted over my blogging time, not that having a total chatter box for a daughter hasn't done that to a great extent all ready! ;) Honestly getting little Setra to stop asking questions for 5 minutes is hard at times, she just has to know what everything is and how it all works too... I have to keep telling her over and over things like; "Lego's don't go in the mouth, but are for batting under the furnature!" It's all a little annoying when my mind is preoccupied with thoughts of gorgeous and muscular Abyssinain males... ;) Well that and how to keep ones cool in all this heat we're having (currently 28-30C) and Mummy says it'll be hotter tomorrow, maybe as much as 32 or 33C!

Wordless Wednesday

Marvellous Monday!

Honestly this is just the most marvellous Monday ever! I had such an incredible weekend with Mummy, Daddy, D'boy, Unca Pete and Auntie Gina, plus her Mummy too. First of all I was woken up early after a night of snuggling with Momma Isis on Mummy's legs to a very early breakfast and lots of love. Then after I'd eaten some of D'boy's scrambled eggy and he'd gotten himself all ready I gotted to go for a car ride to collect Unca Pete at Jordan's house - she's the kitty Mummy and Daddy kitty sat the other weekend... The we went off on a long car ride and they let me sing all the way and ask if we was there yet a LOT! :)

When at last we was there, I gotted to have a cuddle with a lovely ladyvet called Sue who seemed to know who Mummy and Momma Isis were and who kept telling me how purrty I am - so you just know she's a very smart ladyvet! :)

After that I gotted to have cuddles with Daddy while I had a look around the hall we were in while Mummy and D'boy made up my "show pen" with my white fuzzy snuggly and one of the little white blankets I used when I was a baby, plus one of my fave little litter boxes, water and food. Then I got to sniff lots of other Abys! There was Auntie Mynx, Momma Isis sister and Granny Candy, Momma Isis and Auntie Mynx's Momma and half-uncle Shanty too. Then Auntie Gina arrived and Unca Pete got all mushy on her and I gotted to see Momma Isis' Cousin Baillee (who some of you might know).

Once all the kitties were in and sorted out all the Mummy's and Daddy's left their kitties to go visit with some vet looking people that Mummy says are called Judges. I did mega cuddling with them and once Mummy and Daddy came back from their walk and lunch they found out that I did the purrtiest cuddling of all the little Aby girls of my colour and age group! :) Then the purrty ribbons started arriving and the nice coloured cards with my name on them, this made Mummy squeal with joy nearly as loudly as Auntie Gina who'd come back to find out that Cousin Baillee had done just as well in her colour and age group! :) Then came the big bits of flappy white paper that Mummy got really squeaky about telling her that I'd won lots of Trophies too. All in all I came home with 4 trophies and Baillee gotted 2 of her own as well, one that's really purrty - a bronze of an Aby stretching out after a nap - that's because she was the purttiest Sorrel at the show! :) Sadly there was a really cute usual boy kitten who won the BOB for usual kittens, but since I'd won the best of the girlies I don't really care at all...

Anyways, Mummy does have a few photos of me and some of Cousin Baillee too, but she has to go see a chiropractor now so they'll have to wait as I can't do the camera downloady thingy without her help... But you will get to see them later this week and Mummy says she'll take photos of my Trophy collection too so you can see them! :)

Guess I'd better let Mummy go get her back cracked now or she'll get all grumpy at me... ;)

Mummycat Monday...

Well it's hard to believe that the kittens are already 2 weeks old, they've been such good and well behaved little babies that time just flies by... So far they are quite unlike the 3 boys from my last litter better known and the "Escape Committee", these 3 are content just to cuddle, feed and play! :)

This is BG my biggest daughter practising her cute and innocent look, so far she's probably the best of all 3 at this! However Boy is by far the best at posing like a little lion, which reminds me of his half-brother Django... Boy is the strong silent type at present, but this is probably because he is rarely found without a full mouth! ;) Then comes the little one LG... She is as noisy as the others are quiet! Oh yes, this little girl has always got to get the last word in at the moment, I'm quite hoping that she'll grow out of it in time as she has a particularly shrill wail when she's starts up her complaining - there is one thing that's for sure, no one will ever take this little girl for granted! ;)

But for now they're all fast asleep and I think I shall be sensible and join them, before the next round of demands for feeding start up again! ;)

Life in the Cat’s Lane - A Book Review by Isis D'Lynx

Life in the Cat's Lane

At first I was sceptical of this first paw account of life with a Chow Chow and a pretty poor excuse of an owner, but soon I found myself really enthralled by it.

You certainly get a good look at the workings of A.S. Cat’s brain as he works out how to use the invading foe (a.k.a. Dog) to his advantage. Not easy when faced with a dog who seems to be at least part cat, I mean it’s curious and very unpredictable for a member of the canine species! Though not once do you feel the need to pity cat (and a good job too and cats HATE pity), after all if Sooty had only but trained his alleged owner properly to start with, none of this would have happened surely…

Having pawed my way through the book, I feel I have learnt a number of valuable life lessons though. Firstly to extract a vow from Mummy, that I can have her committed if she ever so much as mentions the thought of bringing home a Chow! Secondly that given a good deal of training even the most scurrilous of owners or dogs might eventually be reformed. Lastly I am far more appreciative of Mummy now, seeing that she came to me well trained! ;)

The only bone I have to pick with A.S. Cat is over his misguided assumption that all pedigree cats or house cats are over breed and useless. This is far from the truth, especially where Abyssinians are concerned!

Triumphant Tuesday

Oh yes I'm certainly triumphant this Tuesday as I've got my very own gorgeous French Mancat Boyfriend! Better still he's utterly gorgeous as well as a talented gourmet cook... What more could a ladycat wish for?! Well yes a basket full of sweet little kittens, but I've had one of those already and Mummy says I can have another next year if I'm a good girl - so I guess I have it made! ;)

Sen-Chan is a sorrel just like my half-brother Ramses is, it's such a purrty colour just like my Mummy's head furs in fact! :) This means that Sen-Chan has purrty little pink toes, unlike my lovely black ones. It also means that his nose if a pretty shade of dusky pink, where as mine is more a pale brick red in colour. Like Ramses his belly fluffs are a lovely deep apricot colour, where as mine are more golden. The ticking on his furs is less obvious than mine too as his under fluffs are sort of apricot, then he has a lighter band of colour, another band of apricot and then topped off with cocoa coloured tips to each fur! Mine however go from golden apricot to light, to golden apricot again tipped with black - yes we do have very complicated furs, but they're very purrty furs and soft and shiny to the touch! :)

Titty Tuesday...

Well here's a photo of my lovely little daughter practising her keep fit and getting some well earned rest at the same time! Note how she's learning to look utterly cute and adorable as well as how to make the most of brotherly mancat heat... :) She really is a peach!

The boys or as they like to be known "The Escape Committee" have been keeping me and Mummy very busy, you see they like to climb over things and for such tiny ickle kittens they're very determined once they've decided to do so! I predict they're going to keep us all very busy in a few more weeks once they've fully mastered the art of walking... Last night one decided to try and chase Uncle Ramses and my poor brother nearly took off vertically and only just missed landing in the water bowl! ;) Please don't tell him that I laughed, but it was so funny to see... :)

The Family Thursday...

Well my little family is growing every day, though I'm so pleased that horrid, nasty wind stopped howling as it was making me feel really panicky and restless... Mummy said it was ok to love the kittens to my play tent last night as I so wanted them to learn to love it the way I do and since I've played Momma cat and ickle baby kittens in there since I was little myself, I thought it would be nice to be able to do it for real now! :)

As you can see from this photo the Paparazzi caught me and the kittens in our new residence, even though I did my best to turn them away... This is one of the issues with being royalty, the Paparazzi follow you everywhere and want to know about everything your doing! At least I'm blessed with exceptional good looks and even after a night of feeding the ickle babies I'm found looking wonderful... As no doubt HRH Yao-Lin has told everyone, there are at least some advantages to having amazing regal good looks! :)

The kittens are growing up fast and Mummy tells me that they'll have their eyes open in about 5 more days time! :) Oh yes they could well have them open in time for St. Patrick's Day and be able to witness Skeezix Irish Dancing before he has too much of that Mothers Milk he so loves! ;)
