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! ;)

Rest in Peace, my Sweet Sen-Chan...

Oh how can I put into words the feelings I have at the passing of my sweet and loving boyfriend Sen-Chan at the age of just 16 months? I am utterly grief stricken and the world does not seem quite so bright today...

He was the best of cats and the most loving mancat a girly cat could ever know... It is truly a tragedy and I feel deeply for his sweet little sister Tama-Chan, Tom the woffie and #1 - who must all be suffering right now...

Sleep well my darling boy, until we meet again... For now I must be brave and carry on, so I can be a good mother to the kittens we would have both loved...

Facts on Friday...

Well I have a few new and interesting Facts to share with you all this Friday... Oh yes it's far more interesting here than reading those silly bean "Gossip Columns" ;)

Firstly it's true that I'm taking part in the Catster Coolest Cat Competition this year, with that wonderful shot Mummy got of me climbing the cat run wire just like a great big squirrel - showing I'm more than just a stunning beauty, amazing mother and fantastic investigative journalist! ;) So do please take a moment to vote for me if you can...

Secondly I'd like to introduce you to the lovely Sorrel Aby Man, Solo. Seeing as my love Sen-Chan is not only geographically unavailable to me, but physically so, I've had Mummy looking around for the next best Aby Man to father my next litter of kittens! Oh yes it's big news indeed as Mummy has told me that if I want I can keep one of my daughters from this union at home with me here forever!!! :) So when I go to visit Solo in December, can you all keep your paws crossed that I come home with at least a few daughters in my belly, so I can pick my very favourite one to stay with me and my half-brother Ramses... I do so hope that all you girlycats agree with me over my next choice of mate, he really is quite the mancat you know! ;) *giggle*blush*

The last fact of the day is I was awarded this lovely charge card by Castle and this new brother Timmy. I plan to use it to by myself a really good and stinky catnip fishy at the next cat show we go to and then to buy in lots and lots of yummy Bozita cat meat too, as well as stock up on my Queen bikky at the Supreme where I'm Exhibiting myself to the public at the Abyssinian Cat Association stand in Club Row - so do pop along as say hello to me if you can, if not send your beans to the show and they can bring me lots of nice kitty friend smells to sniff! :)

I'd like to award this to Sen-Chan for being the bestest Boyfriend in the World! As well as to My half-brother Ramses pretty girlfriend Marie, so she can help her Mommy buy lots of things for the pink bean kittens she is expecting in the New Year! :)

Link to Catster now fixed, so please vote for me showing off my athletic climbing abilities - after all no feline can do "squirrel" quite like an Aby! ;)

Traumatic Tuesday

Oh yes it's all very traumatic today... Mummy had to get up extra early to get Daddy and some other people from his company off to London for a seminar today, didn't he know I was having a lovely time fussing Mummy before the alarm went off?! Well I was and it was all very nice, I'd had an ear rub and a chin rub, a nice stroking and was working my way around to getting a good belly rub and on came the alarm! :( Look into these pleading eyes and do you not feel for my plight? Can't you see how much I need a good belly rubbing and maybe 30-40 minutes of good grooming too just to make up for the rude interruption to my pleasure... Oh how I suffer, just like my ardent admirer Yao-lin - he knows how hard it is to get enough attention! I know my gorgeous boyfriend Sen-Chan would have obliged and groomed my belly purrfectly if only he was here by my side... So I think it only fair that I wail at the top of my lungs all day long, demanding the attention of all who hear me even if it's making Tigmut'hep try to cover his eyes and ears with his paws in an effort to sleep through it all! ;) Mummy says he as a hangover and we're not to tease him *all* the time about it - ok Mummy I'll just tease him *most* of the time! :)

Wonderful Wednesday

Well after a very busy morning peace has at last returned to the house here... Dad's off to work and D'boy is at his new school looking very smart in his grown up school uniform! Before he left the house Mummy made sure his collar was done up and that he had his name on everything - I guess this is because she hasn't had him microchipped yet... I'm not sure why this is, as my kittens were a lot smaller than D'boy when they got theirs! Then again they were old enough to leave home a few days later, so maybe Mummy's waiting until D'boy is 16-18 yrs old... ;)
Anyway the thought of collars and getting ready for shows bought me back to the lovely gifts my ardent admirer Yao-lin sent me via his pretty slave lady... I really must get around to posing in my new Coco Chanel diamanté collar for a start, but I think I'd like to twin it with my gorgeous Best Of Breed Medal, so I will be sending Mummy out for a little black velvet ribbon soon. I think I shall pose against either the black or red background for that shot once I have the required ribbon and Mummy has sorted it all out for me. Yes I am sure that not only Yao-lin will like that, buy my beloved Sen-Chan! :) I have also been looking through my new dressing up box also supplied to me by my devoted admirer HRH Yao-lin (well you see he recognizes class and breeding when he sees it) and thinking about trying on that cute little Hawaiian outfit... Tigmut'hep says he has dibs on the nice warm scarf and blue Deer Stalker as he's the biggest Venison lover in the house! Ramses seems to think the leopard print hat will look best against his colouring, but is willing to share it with me in a most sweet and brotherly fashion if I want it too... :)
Anyway for now you'll all have to make do with a few of my professional photos taken by Robert Fox a few weeks ago at the Three Counties Cat Show. Thanks to him my Mummy now has a little handbag with my photo printed on it, just right for taking to cat shows I think! :)

This photo above is the one on Mummy's handbag! :)

My latest career move...

I have decided to take a leaf from my friend and mentor Daisy the Curly Cat's book and launch my new career as a investigative reporter! Oh yes, I have an impressive first assignment too, I am off to interview Yao-lin's wayward and generally inadequate slave! I am also planning to look over all her purchases for Yao-lin and Baby Mao to make sure that they reach the highest standards possible - she won't be allowed to take him home general tat for a change... Oh no, nothing but the best will do for Yao-lin! :)

If any of you have questions you think I should pose to the slave, do let me know in the next 24-36 hrs so that I have time to remember them all before the big interview takes place! Oh and watch this space for the full report on Sunday or Monday - well I must get my beauty sleep in after a big day out! ;)

Be the First to Find out if
This is The Face of Suffering?!

For this level of truly unbiased upcoming investigative reporting and so much more, TT's family have awarded me with this most impressive award! :) Unlike my silly Brother Ramses, I have remembered that such awards need passing on, so I am pleased to pass this most prestigious award to:

Sen-Chan - for being both gorgeous and interesting all the time!

Skeezix - for his tireless reporting on Vishus Deer!

Princess - for all her lovely little quotes and being the sort of ladycat I hope to be one day!

Miss Peach - for always being by my side when I need her and always being sweet, kind and thoughtful to all cat and kittenkind! :)

Moaning Monday

Mummy says I've been moaning all weekend, well ok so she's right this time - but if she'd only get me a mancat here and now I promise I'd stop moaning in a few days time once my eer needs had been met! ;) It seems that Dad won't listen to me either even though I keep throwing myself at him he keeps claiming that he's not the right man for the eer job... ;) It seems only my lovely boyfriend Sen-Chan thinks I'm desireable at the moment...

So here I am all hot and bothered, with weather to match my mood so no one's getting much sleep around here. At least we got some icey cool catnip and chicken jelly added to our brekfast meat to help us all cool down and relax! :)

Anyway I'm back off to complain to Mummy some more - I know if I wail loud enough for long enough she'll listen to me, after all when I wailed loudly at New Years I got to go for a week's visit with the lovely Dan! ;) Now I know that moaning works there is no stopping me! ;)

Thursday 13

At last Mummy's got a little more time to help me type my bloggie! She's had a very busy week so far, but as she's a good Mummy she's taken time to help me post my 13 things I'm feeling glad or greatful about or for that matter have been thinking about today! :)

1) I'm glad that Mummy got a phone call from Canada at 1am to tell her that D'boy had arrived safe and sound - after all this gave me an extra chance to get a fussing! :)
2) I'm glad that Dad was so tired from all the driving yesterday that he didn't want to get out of bed this morning as this gave me more time for fussing! :)
3) I'm glad that I had an e-mail from Delta and Dandy yesterday to tell me all about their nice new names and with photos to show me how much they've been growing! :)
4) I'm glad that Dad appreciated my trying to cover him back up with this blankets this morning, even if I only managed to tuck his feet back in before he decided he really did have to get up for work... :)
5) I'm glad that Ramses had a really good brushing from Mummy this morning as I now have a new fur ball to play with - you can easily roll his soft under fluff hair up into a nice firm but light weight ball to play with - I have less under fluff so my fur doesn't make as good a balls as Ramses' fur does. :)
6) I'm grateful that Mummy and Dad had a nice visit with some stud boys yesterday afternoon, one of them may become my next eer professional boyfriend sometime in December I think... :)
7) I'm very grateful to have a gorgeous boyfriend of my own who's very understanding of my eer needs! :)
8) I'm grateful that live with my half-brother Ramses as he's so much fun to play with, even if he's a total Mummy's boy most of the time! :)
9) I'm also grateful that it's hot and sunny today as we have all the time in the run what we want today, unlike yesterday when we had to stay indoors while Mummy and Dad were out... :)
10) I'm very grateful we have the run to play in and hear that we may be getting a new climbing toy made for it as Mummy and Dad saw some yesterday and think they can make me one too! :)
11) I think Dad is very tallented at DIY and I'm very grateful for this as he can build me more climbing toys with a little help from Mummy! :)
12) I think Mummy left the bedroom door open and has the windows open on the safety latch (so we can't have an accident or get out), so I think I shall go and lay on her new bedspread in the cool and have a nap now that I'm tired out from playing tag with Ramses! :)
13) I think I shall probably dream of my lovely boyfriend Sen-Chan and covering him in kisses like his doggy friend Sweetie-Pie did! :)

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! :)
