Who let the cats out ... nobody

Now that Spring has Sprung in a half-hearted manner, I am finding that I am wanting to be outside in the fresh air more than normal.  However, I am finding my owner is rather slow on the uptake regarding letting me out.  She did try and train me to use a strange swinging flap contraption at another house but I thought it was beneath my dignity to pass through a heavy piece of plastic that would bash me on the head, so she has not bothered to install one of these thingymejings in her own abode, thank goodness.  I therefore have to either screech at her with much gusto to inform her that I wish to be let outside or I try another tactic of standing on my back legs and bashing on the door with my front paws.  Eventually she usually gets the drift but she can be a little obstructive at times.

Missing Moses

Disappeared for a long time on Tuesday evening and gave my owner quite a scare.  She checked the bamboo bush in the back of the garden, she called me and shook the Royal Canin food bag.  This conjured up Lily the neighbourhood white cat with black blotches who obviously thought she was in for a tasty treat but no Moses.  Owner put shoes on and went for a cat hunt.  I was located, by my collar tag glinting in the darkness, half way up a footpath that runs along the side of the house having a face-off with Fluffy, a long-haired female tabby that belongs to neighbours Pat and Mike.  We must have been having a turf-war stare-off for a good 45 minutes.  I was initially reluctant to walk towards my owner and when I did Fluffy had a swipe of me.  Slightly embarrased by admitting defeat to a girl cat I diverted on return to own property into other neighbour's drive where the dog is usually to show machismo but fortunately the Spinone was not in evidence.

Poor Moses the pug dog in Ireland is not so lucky and is missing.  http://www.doglost.co.uk/dog-blog.php?dogId=49850&status=Lost.  Hope nobody has stolen him and he comes home soon.  Owner went to Crufts last Saturday and found it really worrying how many dogs are being stolen in the UK.

Food To Go

Why eat your wet sachet Sainsburys Bistro food with your paws on cold kitchen tiles when you can pick up bits with your mouth and deposit on the warmer fake laminate of the living room floor and eat it there in a nice puddle of gravy?!  Yes this week I have been putting the 'takeaway' into dining as well as spreading gravy slime around the house.

I have also discovered the great beauty of 'Miss Rose' another lilac a blue colourpointed cat on the web: http://oliverandruby.wordpress.com.  This might be a cat I would not try to bully.  Hate to admit it but she does have the glamour edge on me.
