Mummycat Monday...

Well I have just about 5 weeks to go now until the kittens are due and I'm making the most of my rest time and cuddles with Mummy and my brother Ramses! :) They have both been most supportive over the past few weeks, especially with the sudden and tragic loss of my beloved Sen-Chan... *sigh* Just to have known a mancat like him has been worth the sadness though and I shall do my level best to make sure his dear little sister Tama-Chan goes on to become the ladycat I know she can be! I know he'd have expected that of her, after all he had the most wonderful manners for a mancat! ;) I speak with authority here having shared my home with 2 mancats all my life and them both being messy eaters, who I'm constantly having to clean up after... Until I met Sen-Chan I thought all mancats were like that, but he gave me hope for mancatkind as he was both, gentle and kind as well as far neater than either my dear brother Ramses (who has the excuse of having a few teeth missing) and Tigmut'hep - who's only excuse is that he has a bad case of the munchies (post 'nip abuse hunger pangs) and can't quite remember what he's doing half the time (again down to 'nip abuse I think, rather than him having a seniorcat moment!)

Anyway I'm doing well and my ickle baby kittens are just starting to swell my belly a little, in fact my weight gain is just a little in advance of last time - this means there is a greater chance that I'll either have more kittens than last time or I'll have slightly bigger ones! It's all rather exciting, especially as Marie's Mommy is due just a few days after I am!!! :) Oh yes Marie's Blurpie and my kittens could well share a Birthday even - if so this might well be the same day as Daddy's Mum's Birthday! So you see mid February is going to be a busy time for us here... What's more my second-cousin Baillee could well be going to visit her first real boyfriend Storm by then, which will mean that her Mummy will come to visit with us for an hour or so, on her way home from dropping Baillee off. I so hope that I have some kittens here to show her by then as I know she'd love to see them and I do so love to show my kittens off! :)

Oh well time for another little nap before Mummy has to get ready for her Fizzy-O, you know I really don't know why they call it that as I've licked and licked that shoulder and it doesn't really taste any different than the other one... Maybe I'll have to try it sooner after she gets back to notice any Fizzy-O?! I also think that Mummy may well look for a t-shirt for Tigmut'hep later today when she and Daddy do the weekly food hunting with the D'boy. I think it's very admirable that Mummy and Daddy both try to teach D'Boy about food hunting, although I have noted that Daddy is not allowed to prepare it for eating... I gather this is because he's a little like Tigmut'hep and would scoff the lot before anyone else got a look in, even though Mummy says it's because of something she calls "total incompetence with regard to cooking" - since I understand the word totally to mean "everything" I'm pretty sure I have my own definition correct, in that he'd eat it all, or have to eat it all himself! ;)

Wonderful Wednesday...

Well yesterday wasn't half as good as we'd all hoped... I mean what's the use of having Daddy home only to have him take Mummy off to the Fizzy-O place for a vet man to come and stick a big needle in her and then to add insult to injury, not bring her straight home for some feline therapy?! Oh no he took her our KissMouse shopping for D'boy - I mean what does he want with catnip stockings and toy mice? It just doesn't make any sense to any of us...

However Mummy's come home now and is very pleased that she's found some local area postcards to send to people in the New Year. At long last she is pleased to say she's found a place that always has them in stock and they told her about 1 or 2 other places as well - so she's no longer feeling all crabby about that. Though I don't understand why she thinks other people will be interested in a herd of concrete cows?! While finding this place she's also seen a very "kyoot" coffee mug that is just right for Daddy to take to work, declaring his love for concrete cows - strange I though Daddy loved Abyssinian cats! ;)

With Mummy home today I'm hopeful of an afternoon chance to snuggle with her and have a good old nap. Mummy however says I must run around and play with the boys as that's more likely to bring on my "whoremoanall" feelings than curling up on her bed and snoozing will. I'll have to see about that though, as it's purrty cold and bed keeps calling to me... ;)

Tomorrow D'Boy is going to a lecture with a lot of the 6th Form at his school - Mummy says they're like Grade 12's in Canada. This is mega cool as D'Boy is only 12 yrs old and it's a science lecuture at the local University, given by a Professor from Harvard! This is because D'Boy is very good at science and is a part of the school's Astronomy and Space clubs. He's the only kid in his year to be a member of the Astronomy Club - the rest are over 3 yrs older than him and studying for their GCSE's and A Levels. I guess he'll need to be on his bestest behaviour for that!

The one redeaming feature of Daddy being off with Mummy yesterday was his bringing home a nice big turkey crown for our KissMouse dinner! What do you mean it's not all for us Mummy?! No, silly Mummy you've got that one all wrong... Turkey is for cats, just look at one of the labels on our Bozita - see it says "TURKEY for cats" - now you can't argue with the experts! ;)

Fizzy-O Friday!

Well I certainly don't know what all the fuss about this Fizzy-O thing and Mummy's left shoulder is! I mean I decided to investigate it at 4am and found nothing interesting at all about it... I poked the shoulder, had a darn good sniff and eventually even licked it all over! There is nothing Fizzy at all in the taste or smell of Mummy's shoulder, it was maybe just a little warmer than the rest of her though and felt a little swollen (possibly even sore as she kinda woke up and moaned at me for poking at it). That was just before I started the taste test... The main shoulder just tasted of "Mummy", though when much prodding I did eventually get to try out the arm-pit area too which smelt and tasted a good deal different, kinda floral smelling but unlike any plant I've ever menaced, especially when it came to the taste! ;) I have to admit that by this point Mummy was becoming pretty wakeful and restless so I fled the scene back to the safety of my usual sleeping spot on her toes before I was ushered from the scene like some communal garden type Paparazzi! ;) That's right, nothing worth investigating can be kept from the eyes (or tongue) of this intrepid reporter... :)
