Funny Friday

As you can see my daughter Setra has taken possession of one of the lunch coolers here... It doesn't seem to matter where Mummy and Daddy hide it, she still keeps finding it and getting inside for a good nap. I have assured Mummy that she will grow out of this having tried hard to get into the cooler bag myself and finding it just too small and uncomfortable! ;)

However until she's too big to get into it, I think they have accepted the fact that it's her bag! Although her hunt for dietary fibre is to be restricted to actual food stuffs apparently! ;)

So until she grows you'd better remember:








No Cheezburger is safe from Setra! ;)

Minicat Monday!

Yes it's me Setra, pinching mummy's blogspot just for now to tell you my latest saying! Both of my Mummy's (the furry one with all the milk and lovely, cuddly food lady Mummy), think I have Uncle Ramses gift of deep thinking, especially for one so young... :)

Setra's 1st saying:

Cat's live in the present, 'cause it often comes in nice boxes with purrty ribbons on!

PS: Uncle Ramses is still not very well, but doesn't seem to be loosing any more weight at the moment. Mummy keeps giving him all his nasty meds though and he's eating a bit more each day, or so it seems... However he's still one very sick kitty! :(

Mummycat Monday and Manic Mummy Monday! ;)

Well the kittens are now 10 weeks old and are busy playing most of the time they're not eating or sleeping, this is great as they let me play too! :) It's nice being the biggest and fastest as I win most of the games! ;) Though the kittens then start changing the rules of the game or changing the game entirely, to something like chase *MY* tail! Ah well I'm still faster and can jump higher than them, so they can't catch me! ;)

Other than playing with the kittens, I've been watching Mummy being very busy writing stuff for magazines and filling in forms too. You see my little son Elzar will be going off to Italy in June to live with a lovely family and a purrty sorrel girl called Olivia, who will be his number 1 wife! He'll be getting a few more wives when he's old enough to take care of them though! ;) I'm sure he'll keep then all very happy though, and he'll get plenty of cuddles from his new Mummy & Daddy as well as their son, just like he gets here from Mummy, Daddy and D'Boy! :)

Little Enta will be staying quite locally to us with a lovely family and their little pet rabbit! I'm sure she's going to love the bunny and I know she's going to love the family as she had a really good cuddle with her new Mummy when they visited and even fell asleep in her arms! :)

So I'm one very content Mummycat, now that I know my babies will have wonderful lives ahead of them - though I'm not sure about being a Grandmummycat by about this time next year! ;) After all I'm far too young and glamerous to be considered a Grandmummy... But I shall certainly enjoy playing with Setra's babies and seeing photos of Elzar's when they start arriving too! :) Now I just have to purr that Mummy gets through all this paperwork soon so I can talk to my friends more often...

Mini me Monday!

Hi everybuddy, my mummy said I could come and say hello to you all today as I'm now a full 8 weeks old! Mummy says I shouldn't try and talk to you while I haz my brudder's tail in my mouth, but I'm sure you can understand me well enough - that and I fink my brudder's tail tastes kinda good right now! ;) Mind you it's not as good as the roasty chicken we had for supper last night...

Talking of roast chickens, I fink we are getting a likle bit more later! :)

Now I fink it's time for me to go play with my little red ball and see if my sisfur's tail tastes good too, after that I fink it'll be time to try mummy's tail! It sure is bigger and jucier than my siblings tails, as is Uncle Ramses tail... ;) The Mummy says I will grow out of this tail fixation in a few months when I get my bog girl teeth through, and that it's this teething thing that makes a kitten wanna chew stuff all the time, even the Mummy's toes! ;)

Mummycat Monday...

Well the kittens are now 7 weeks old and are getting pretty big! They are into everything and anything as well as doing there level best to eat Mummy out of house and home! ;) Oh yes they are just like D'Boy, always looking for their next meal... So much so that they all get together and make sure that I am not withholding milk from them a number of times each day, especially before nap time!

They have been pretty good in learning all about hunting toy mousies this past week, although they don't as yet have the all encompassing enthusiasm for the mousies as I do. Mummy tells me this is because I'm a little nutty about mousies... I assure you Mummy, my mousies haven't got any nuts in 'em or on 'em. I should know I've put the bitey on them good and proper many times now! ;) Oh yes there is little quite like putting the bitey on a toy mousie to make me happy! :)

Other than that Mummy fed us all some roast beef last night and the kittens devoured it like a pack of furry Parana! ;) Lastly Mummy's been planting us some more catnip for the cat run, so we'll have a total of 6 different varieties growing in there this summer! :) As you might have guessed my housemate Tigmut'hep is very pleased about this news...

Mummycat Monday...

Well today the kittens turn 6 weeks old and I have decided (with at least some help from Mummy) to give the kittens their "official names" at long last... I also have a BIG announcement to make! :)

Firstly there's the kittens names and exactly what they mean:

Boy is El Zehuti, Zehuti is one of the many names of the Egyptian god Thoth. He's a born mediator who is calm in any situation!

BG is Et Seti-Ra, from the Egyptian god of storms, Set, and his companion Ra the sun god. In addition to this SeTiRa is Hebrew for contradiction, coming from the same root as the word SeTeR, meaning hidden secret. So while both the gods little Setra is named for are depicted as male, together they become contradictory and form a female name that we like to think of as our “little bit of sunshine after the storm”. On top of this as many of you know Storm was an amazing ladycat who battled lymphoma not just once but twice! We were greatly touched by her story... Since our human family has been deeply effected in the past few years by cancer, Daddy loosing his father to it and Mummy's Mum battling it at present I thought we could do with some brightness to help keep things in purrspective! :)

LG is Enta Omri, named for a beautiful Egyptian love song meaning "You are my life" famously sung by the amazing Uum Kulthum, who at her peak could sing from the 2nd octive all the way to somewhere between the 7th and 8th octives! This seems most apt as little Enta would scream higher and louder than any kitten of mine to date, right from a few days old! ;) She is also the sweetest and most loving of little girly cats... :)

Now for the big news:
Setra will be staying with us here and coming out to shows with me and then going on to have kittens of her own when she is big enough and old enough to do so! :) Yes that's right my kitty friends, you will be able to watch Setra grow up in front of your eyes via my bloggy - now isn't that going to be fun!? :)

Mummycat Monday...

Well the weekend was kind of hectic here as the kittens are now so much bigger and far more hungry all the time. However Mummy handed out a few nice new toy mice from our goody bag and much of the frustration has now been taken out on these. Tigmut'hep has even managed to de-tail his one already... He says this proves he's far more stressed out than the rest of us (I put this down to his having finished his Matatabi and it being a little early in the catnip season!)

Ooh taking of catnip, Mummy bought us two new varieties of catnip at the garden centre she visited on Sunday with Daddy and D'Boy! She says she's going to look out for a few new planters for the run and redo all out catnip collection so that it's in one or two nice big trough type pots if she can fine some she likes! :) I do so like sniffing the purrty 'nip plants and laying in the middle of them when it's all hot in the summer...

Anyway right now I'm busy keeping the now 5 week old kittens busy and out of trouble! This is a very difficult task at times... However LG had a good bath this morning as you can see. Boy made the most of Mummy allowing the kittens onto the bed for a bit and had a good stretch out, while BG decided to shock Mummy and pose nicely for a photo! :)

As you can see they've been doing a LOT of growing this past week and are now more like mini cats than ickle babies any more. BG and Boy are having 3 good meals of chicken or turkey a day and LG has decided to start on a mixture of meat and formula all mixed up into a smoothy as she just can't quite face proper dinners yet. However she's been packing on the grams on this mixture and is now happy to accept her meals as well as her visits to the milk bar! ;) So I expect that she'll be on proper dinners like her siblings before much longer, with a few good servings of mothers milk each day, especially at bedtime it's no wonder that all of the kittens are now about 600g's! :)

Oh and before I forget to tell you the kittens gave me a nice tinful of Applaws chicken (my personal favourite dinner) yesterday, as well as LG letting me finish up her milk and meat smoothy when she was all full-up! You've just gotta love the perks of being a mummy some days... :)
