Mummycat Monday...

Ok, so for my finally Mummycat Monday before the kittens are due to arrive, I've caved into popular demand and let Mummy take a photo of my belly with just a week left to go until my kittens arrive! I hope you all enjoy this pose as much as I am currently doing... It sure takes the weight off of your belly resting this way up, as does finding a nicely placed pillow to rest your front half on while your big huge preggy belly rests on your Mummy's bed! I must say I hope that Marie's Mom's found out about these positions too... Her baby girl is due just 5 days after my kittens due date, so she too much be feeling the weight thing by now, though Mummy assurs me that she didn't feel the need to lay on her back on the stairs when she was expecting D'Boy! ;)

Mummycat Monday...

Well it's all white outside and I'm glad to be nice and warm indoors at present, with the yummy cooking smells wafting from the kitchen where Mummy's not only cooking a big batch of chilli up for the family, but some beef, heart and liver for me! :) It seems Mummy hit pay dirt at one of the local butchers and can get me lots of yummy meat there, as well as getting us some frozen from the big pet shop we have just 1.1miles from the house... Heck we even got a little roasty pork last night! :) So as you can see the food round here is really good and I'm making the most of it! ;)

Oh yes my belly is growing and with a little under 2 weeks left to go I can feel the ickle baby kittens having a little move around in there too! Last night I lay on Mummy's chest for ages letting her join in the fun of feeling my babies move, I even let Daddy have a gentle feel... It's a great feeling and I have to admit I'm now spending most of my time contemplating my belly and purring to it! :) By next week the kittens movements will be even stronger and I may well let Daddy video tape it again so you can all have a little look at them. Right now it's pretty subtle and you have to either look very closely or rest your hand softly on my belly and wait for about 10-15 mins to feel a bit of a wriggle going on inside... ;) At this rate they're going to be called names like; Wriggler, Fidget, Squirmer & Wiggler! Though I bet Mummy's got some much cooler names for them, 'cause I'm not sure a future big mancat would like to spend his life being called Mr. Wiggle Bottom! ;)

Anyway it's time for a little nap and maybe a paw massage... Mummy's put up the kittens bed for me, so I can make sure it's all organized to my liking before my due date. I gather Marie's Mommy is doing pretty much the same right now and we've been helping Mummy make the little Blurpy Girl some mega kyoot onesies (though without the pattented Tigmut'hep tail hole!) I'll get Mummy to photograph them once they're finished so you can all have a little look at them, I bet you'll be able to tell which is my purrsonal fave straight off! ;)

Update: It's snowing so much here that they've sent D'Boy home to help snuggle me...

Mummycat Monday...

Well it's now less than 3 weeks until my kittens are due and Mummy seems to think I'm well on track to have another 4 kittens from the size and weight I am at present. I do hope she's right as I rather liked having 4 all at once, where as my litter sister Mynx had 5 in the litter she had last summer and found it utterly exhausting and needed a LOT of help from her Mum & Dad to cope with them all to start with. Our big sister Noodle has had 5 once too and thought it was exceptionally hard going, where as 4 seems just purrfect to her... Anyway we'll see if Mummy's guess is right in only a little while now and I'm sure she'd help me out if I needed it! :)

I'll keep it brief today though as Mummy's exhausted as she and Daddy were at a funeral today and have done a lot of driving and the like. I gather this means that they'll be curling up in bed with Ramses and myself far earlier than normal, so even if I do have to cut my blogging short today because of it I shall certainly make the most of the fringe benefits! :)

Mummycat Monday...

Well my belly is growing and I've gained a whole 200g's since last Mummycat Monday, so things are going well here and I'm exceedingly content! :)

Yesterday Mummy cooked us a lovely roast chicken, which we shared with the family (after all we're very civilized and considerate cats), I must admit that my brother Ramses did scoff rather a lot of this, but I certainly got a good portion of it too! :) Today Mummy is making a pie full of shepherds I gather, I'm a little concerned about this as I'm pretty sure I've never eaten a shepherd before now - but I'm sure they'll be lovely and tender by the time Mummy's finished with them and hopefully I'll get to test a little of the meat along with my usual dinner... ;) I guess there must be good eating on a shepherd as she says the pie will be big enough to feed the family for 2 days!

Other than that the weekend bought us some much warmer weather than we've had for months, so we all got to go and play in the run for a little while. I hear it will rain today and maybe snow in places, so I guess it's back to the cold again... However it was so nice to have a break in the cold and to be able to have a good sniff of that squirrel at last! He's mighty daring you know and will even come along the fence behind the black bamboo while I'm in the run looking at him if there are peanuts on the bird table... Hopefully he'll eat so many of these that he won't be able to run soon and then I can catch him and play with him for a bit - he looks much more fun than Ramses catnip squirrel and I must say he smells much more interesting too! ;) Though if this plan fails one of Mummy's friends has promised to let us have any bunnies he has going spare when he goes hunting. It is a very long time since we all had fresh bunny... Look I wouldn't want to eat a cute pet one, just a wild one that's become a pest and has been culled - I mean why let good bunny go to waist?! It's just a shame there is no such sport as wild chicken hunting, as I believe my dear brother Ramses would be very keen on that! ;)

Happy Mew Year!!! - Breaking News!!!!

Well 2009 looks like being a good year for me! :) Mummy tends to think I'm pregnant and keeps inspecting my belly for signs that I'm "pinking up", 'cause I won't tell her if I am yet! ;) Though I think my milk cravings have been on the increase - well that's my excuse for getting caught drinking most of Dad's milk at bedtime yesterday... Well he shouldn't leave it where I can get to it! Other than stealing milk and helping Mummy read her new book that D'Boy got her for KissMouse it's called "The Devious Book for Cats". So far it's a very good read and highly informative too! :) I've also had fun visiting a few new kitty friends here and one woffie who's very cute and shares my name! :) So why not go visit my new friends Aoises, Beethoven, Crazy Meezer, Jeter Harris (who I've known of for ages, but don't know very well) and Princess Isis the Woffie! All of them have something in common with me, either having the same name, or a Birthday or Gotcha Day around this time of year, so I'm sure they'll be friends for ever now... Oh and my friend and second cousin Baillee has just joined our blogging community, so do drop by and make her feel welcome! Gosh it seems all her family are joining, so please say hello to George and Mo - who's almost a clone of Tigmut'hep to look at! :)

Ok, so I can't hide my purrty pinkness from Mummy any longer and that means my kittens are due on Valentines Day which is just so purrfect as I'm sure you'll all agree! Now off to scoff some celebratory tuna! :)

Wishing on Wednesday etc...

Here I am wishing for a new book to read this Wednesday! Oh yes I really NEED this Book!!!! You see I am out of good kitty books to read and am planning on being pregnant soon so will need to put my paws up and relax with a good book then and this book about Dewey the Library cat seems to fit the bill purrfectly! :) You can learn more about this great book at Kimo & Sabi's bloggy...

Other than that I have learnt about the existence of a breed of kitty that I didn't know about before today! It seem there is a cat called a T-Rex I'm most impressed by it's cool name and think that it has rather purrty furs too, though of course mine are more purrty and special! ;) It's amazing what cool things you can learn on the internetty thing you know. Currently I am purrsuading Mummy to study my geniology at present she's got back to the 1960's, but I'm hoping she can get further back with all my relatives the thing is it's a growing project in every meaning of the word as for each kitty ancester I have, they had 2 and they in turn had 4, then 8 and so on! Though when Mummy pointed this out I did remind her that I wasn't asking her to look into all my aunties, uncles and cousins too! ;) You've just gotta help your beans stay focused on the job in paw, they're far too easily distracted - no wonder they're no good at mouse hunting! ;)
