Cat magnet

It seems my reputation as a cat magnet proceeds me. Not a clue who this cat is. But it came out to greet me as I walked up to see Buddy. And followed me up the road.

Speaking of cats, I didn’t have the best start to the day as Dodo interrupted breakfast with a snack of his own. He came through the cat flap with a baby bird in his mouth. Managed to rescue said bird and put it in a box in the shed while I looked up what to do with it.

Went to check on it and the box was empty. I searched the shed but no sign of it. Started to question my sanity when it flew past me and out of the door.

Feeling like I’d done a good thing, I headed off into the house. Only for 10 mins later to see Dodo ‘playing’ with it on the lawn. Sadly it was cat 1 – baby bird 0. 😔

At least I tried…

Shade dance

So it seems that Hugo isn’t a huge fan of the sunshine. While Dodo was sunbathing on the patio. Hugo found the tiny bit of shade in the garden. Made me laugh.

I’m loving the feeling of the sun on my face at the moment. But it won’t be long before I’ll be doing the shade dance with Hugo. The joys of being an English Rose.

Paw Patrol

You’ve heard of Paw Patrol, well Hugo was on Storm Patrol. He was so funny sitting in the wind, then tearing around the garden chasing the leaves. He didn’t want to come back in.

Dodo on the other hand refused to leave the conservatory.

Stay safe everyone. Looks like we’re in for some really stormy weather.

Box heaven

What’s better than a box to a cat? A box full of boxes of food of course!

Dodo was a very happy boy I can tell you. Until I removed the food. Then he went off the box. Hugo on the other hand thought it was amazing and has set up camp in it.

Cat logic huh?! They do make me laugh.

Fluid

My day has been rather fluid today. Think that the best word for it. Plans changed, stuff changed and got stuff done.

Spotted Dodo on the garage roof as I was filling the log basket. I’m rather impressed with my photo. But then I do have a good subject.

Defeated

Sometimes you just have to admit defeat, head to the sofa and watch a Disney film.

Not my best day. Felt quite low today so lots of tears this morning. Like my body needs to expel more fluids (yes, I am still with snot). I’m frustrated with it all. I know that I get like this when I’m ill. I also know it will pass and I’ll be back to normal service soon.

Nurse Hugo has been very attentive. His purrs are definitely healing. 😍

Midnight snacks

I’ve been ‘trialing’ cats sleeping in the bedroom. So far it has been going OK. Hugo is a proper cuddle monster. He loves snuggling up in the small of my back. Dodo is happiest by my feet. Both are pretty good at staying put and have rarely woken me up (unlike Tom and Nero who used to party all night).

Well that was till this morning. At 2:30am I was woken up by a weird crunching noise. You know one of those noises where you’re trying to work out what it is. But your brain is also having a minor panic about what it could be.

Sadly my brain was right. Dodo had brought snacks to bed. 🐭 So there was me clearing a headless small rodent in a half asleep state.

Dodo was very unimpressed that his snack was taken away. And Hugo staged a protest by wailing outside my bedroom door for an hour.

Cats are now banned from the bedroom. Again.

Bee’s sting

Today, Dodo learnt a valuable life lesson. If you play with bees, you’re going to get stung!!

Poor little boy was very unhappy. Thankfully he didn’t react to it. Though he is feeling rather sorry forgot himself. Lots of medicinal cuddles needed tonight.
