Its my GOTCHA day !!

This is me looking out of the window and reflecting on the wonderful 5 years I have spent with my miewmie. She came and gotted me on New Year's eve 2003. I was in a 'foster home' along with a woofie (I liked him) and lots of other orphan kitties. For the first couple of months I stayed indoors, until I had been 'done', had my vaccinations and the cat flap had been fitted. Life is great here with my miewmie. We live a very quiet existence together except for my mad moments when I race up and down the stairs for no purpose ! I know my first 6 months of life were not happy but I can hardly remember them now. It all seems a very long time ago. Thankyou miewmie for adopting me and thankyou Jeanine (from Second Chance Rescue) for finding such a lovely miewmie for me. If any of you beans out there are thinking of giving a kittie a home, please consider a wescue kitty. There are so many of us who need loving homes.

Miewmie's elf hat

This is me on miewmie's bed posing with her elf hat. She boughted it speshially for when she goes carol singing at the hospital on Christmas eve. I think she will fwighten the patients wearing it ! ha ha. She wanted me to wear it for this foto but I put my paw down and said no...I have some pride you know and I will not be seen in close proximity to a cheap imitation allegedly elf hat. She only paid 99p for it. It shows doesn't it ?

A ship's cat

This is supposed to be a ship's cat. Huh, I'm not fooled for one minute. Miewmie bought him at the International Festival of the Sea held here in Portsmouth a few years ago. Miewmie says you can tell he is a ship's cat cos he is wearing a life jacket. Really. I don't think life on the high seas was very kind to him do you? Look at him, all srwuffy and bedwagled looking.

Miewmie calls him Horatio. Well I think he should hurry atio back to his ship !! ha ha

Comfy on the stairs

This is me all stwetched out harf way up the stairs. This photo makes me look weely slim don't you think? My beautiful furs look lovely against the rust coloured carpet too I think. Miewmie says I have 'mischief' in my eyes. Wubbish. There's only pure innocence and love and harmony and twanquility. Me ...mischief? Never.

Toasted feeties

In the wintertime I love to squash my svelt body on the windowledge (you can see I have to compete with a fake bamboo plant and a foto of a fwend of miewmies...I never liked him) and lay my feeties over the radiator. It gets so hot that I have to keep swapping them over. Miewmie says I'm daft and that I'll end up with burnt puddies. Come on miewmie, I do have something between my furry ears !!!

Dweeming of mouses

This is me on MY sunlounger dweeming of mouses. You can't see it in this foto but my beautiful whiskers and my feeties are twitching in anticipation !! Roll on spwing when they will come out from under the shed and we can play together again !! ummmm......

I know you are in here!

This is me looking for those mouses. I know they are here somewhere. They hide under miewmie's garden shed. Maybe they go to sleep for the winter ? Awhh. That means I have got to wait forever till they come out to play again. Did you notice my pretty white feeties ?

My furry fwends

These are my furry fwends who sleep next to my fleece bed on the landing at the top of the stairs. I haf my furry own ginger cat, a tiny tabby kitten and a mousey. They all get along quite well and keep me company when miewmie has to go owt. Miewmie is owt a lot this week cos its her birfday on saturday. She said she can't remember how old she will be. Wubbish miewmie. Anyway, I know...she will be.....what's that miewmie.....tweets. OK, I'm coming. Bye effuryone.

Anofer Autumn picshur

Because I look sooo good against this autumn folliage, miewmie took anofer foto. Well, a beautiful girlie can nefer have to many fotos in her portfolio. Never know when they might come in handy.

Life has been a bit boring cos miewmie hasn't been owt in the garden much acos of the weather. Its efer too cold, too wet or too somefing else. Anyway, very soon, she will haf to get owt there and cut the climbing/wambling roses back. Then I shall assume my snoopervising role.

As you can see, I haf been given this beautiful flutterby award by Black Cat which has really brought some summer cheer to these dull days. Thank you Black Cat. I am sposed to nominate a bunch of ofer cats but who to chose? So, I nominate all of you who haf nefer received an award of any kind. Consider yourself awarded. Now I must get back to the serious bisniz of snoozing on miewmie's bed.

Autumn mellowness

Hi everybody. I've managed to organise miewmie into taking a photo of me surrounded by autumn folliage. Don't you think it looks really good in contrast to my beautiful furs. Miewmie is taking forever to readjust after coming back from China. She is still trying to write her trip itinery while its still fwesh in her head, as well as organise all her hundweds of fotos !!
In between all that she is pwacticing something called 'tie chee' and still learning mandarin chinese, including learning to write chinese characters. I think she's gone a bit cwazy. I just pretend not to understand her which I do all the time anyway.

There's no place like home !

Yeahh, Miewmie came and signed my welease papers from pwison today. She said the bail costs were furry expensif (£126) but I'm worth it !!! I haf spent all day checking effurything, just to make sure its as I left it. Miewmie hadn't unpacked cos after her 12 hour flight from Shanghai she said she was a bit tired, so when I arrived home, there were many many strange new smells in the suitcase to investigate. Admittedly, some were miewmie's clothes but the rest were furry exotic and fings I haf nefer smelled before. Miewmie bought me a pwesent all the way from China....some little packets of beef, which taste furry declicous but miewmie said I can only haf one per day in case they haf lots of salt in them.

Miewmie had a wonderful time and took nearly 800 picsures. Can you believe that ? She found a 6 week old tortie kitten in one place wondering into the road. He had some ribbon round his neck so had gotten loose from someplace. Miewmie took him to the gweengwocer shop, near where she found him. She hopes they looks after him.

Thank you all my fwends who sent me messages and teleported oveer to keep my company. It made my sentence pass that bit qwicker and I weely appweciate it. Miewmie is still a bit fatigued after her long journey but she just wanted to let you know we are both home again and all is well.

I am sulking

I am not talking to miewmie. I am sulking. On thursday, I will be stuffed into my PTU and whisked off to the cat hotel, aka pwison. It is furry impawtant that miewmie is left in no doubt about my serious displeasure at this pwospect. I will not be weleased until the 20th October which is a furry long time away. Please come ofer when I get back and we will celebwate my welease. Last time miewmie bought back some delicshous yak meat (cos she went to Tibet) so I can pwomise you some interwesting culinary delights. Pleeze fink of me while my miewmie swans about China won't you ? Fanks guys.

Medsin in China

Medsin in China. This is the name of my miewmie's tour to China. I don't know why she wants to go all that way to look at bits of trees, leafs and berries and fings. We got a stack of them in the garden, but miewmie says they is different in China.

This lady is a Tranditional Chinese Medicine doctor in a small town clinic. As well as lots of special herbs and suspicious looking fings, she also can pwescribe western medsin. She must be furry clever to do that. Miewmie will be visiting soms big hospitals in Shanghai and Beijing. Thats all very well, but meantime I shall be languishing in kitty prison. Ahhh, poor me.

CAT WHAT ?????? What did you say miewmie?

My miewmie just said CAT HOTEL. You know what that means don't you. Its mean I'm headed for a spell of incarceration while she goes to that place called China. I am seriously not happy at this prospect...not at all. No mouses, no fwogs to chase. No gwass to eat, no doing my 'business' outside in my loverly garden. Worst of all, I won't be able to patwol my terry tory and invaders may come in. Just as disastwus is the fact that I won't get any special tweets to eat. No brwushing, no cuddles, no kisses etc etc. You get the idea. Wholesale deprivation for TWO hole weeks. I only haf anofer week of fweedom before this calamatous event takes place. You will all come and see me in prison won't you, and don't forget to conceal some nip when you come.

Pssst, wanna see a mouse?

Yep, I got me anofer mousie !! We played for a while in the sun. I taught him how to do some sumersaults and fings. I fink he enjoyed our little game.

Alas, real mouses are so fragile compared to our toy mouses. One or two bats, a few sumersaults, and they ded themselves. If you look carefully you will see that there is no evidence that I efen touched him ! Not a mark, zilcho. He was furry cute though don't you think? Thanks for the fun mousie.

My pink tongue

Firstly, a belated BIG thankyou to Chica and Pumucki and Kellycat for my wonderful awards. It was very thoughtful of you to nominate me and I weely appweciate them. Yeahhhhh. Two awards guys, yeahhhh.

I thought you might like to see my cute pink tongue. When I am washing my beautiful firs, miewmie often says 'give me a kiss Aoise' and I lick her face with my tongue. That makes her furry happy.

The last summer sun

This is me in my garden enjoying to what amounted to only the second day of sun this summer ! Naturally, I had to take advantage of this rare phenomenon and bask and nap away. I was feeling so good that I even allowed miewmie the privilege of laying on MY sunlounger in the garden.

Meet my panda fwend

This is Pandy and he came all the way from China. My miewmie bought him for me when she went to see some real pandas in Chengdu. She even saw baby pandas in incubators but wasn't allowed to take fotos so I can't show you one. Panda is OK but he speaks chinese so I don't understand him. Miewmie is learning chinese but pandy isn't too impressed with her command of the language so far and pretends he doesn't know what she is saying. Miewmie is going to China AGAIN in a few weeks so Pandy and I will be all on our ownio. I wonder who she will bring back this time ?

Can you see me ?

If you look furry closely I think you might just be able to see me. You probly think I am in a big jungle but its really only my garden. Its just that miewmie has gone a bit cwazy with big plants. It makes hunting mouses and fwogs a lot of fun. It also means I can hide from miewmie when I want to. This is a good game to play when its dark cos then miewmie can't see me. ha ha ....

Forget it meiwmie !

This is me on MY sunlounger. Miewmie has long given up any rights of ownership or access. In this foto I am licking my beautiful white puddies nice and clean. Miewmie was owtside when she took this foto and to make sure she wasn't harbouring any thoughts of lying on my sunlounger in the garden, I am giving her my 'forget it' look.

Duck owting

Look at these luffly fat, juicy ducks and their babies. Alas, they don't lif near me, they are in some place called Aylesford in Kent. Miewmie says its a long way from here. Miewmie went there for a day out and got pestered by flying ants. You are having me on miewmie...flying ants? I worry about my miewmie sumtimes.

In my garden

This is me sitting in my garden. You almost can't see me cos miewmie has so many plants and some of them are bigger than me. I am sitting next to the water feature which is a pretend stream and I am waiting very patiently for Mr Fwog to come out and play. Miewmie says its too late now to get him a fwend and we haf to wait till next year. Feeble miewmie. Feeble.

Easy on sunday morning

This is me in my 'hut' as miewmie calls it. Miewmie bought it spechially to match the carpet and it sits on the landing at the top of the stairs. I think the word 'hut' fails to do justice to what is a sumptuous fleecy retweet. I spend lots of nap time in here cos its just so cozy and comfortable.
I am resting and building up strength incase the mouses come back. Mr Fwog is being very uncooperative and won't play. I might efen have to go back to playing with my toy mouses.

The fwog

This is the fwog in my garden. I haf gone back to chasing him since there are no more mouses. He moves and jumps very quickly and so far, he outsmarts me. Mouses are much easier to catch. Miewmie wants to get the fwog anofer fwog fwend cos she thinks he may be lonely. so maybe I'll have more luck if there are two of them and even better if they have baby fwogs !!

For Sprout

Play with the angels little one and may God hold you safely in his hand.

I'm bored

This is me wearing my 'I'm bored' pose. This is because there has been no mouses activity at all for 3 days now. Miewmie says I scared them all away. I don't think I look scary do you? I am just a gentle loving little girl who likes saying hello to mouses thats all. I suppose I'll have to go back to chasing the fwog.

Hello Mouses

The mouses live under miewmie's very small garden shed. This is me waiting for one to come and say hello. So far 5 have come to say hello. Sadly, all but one have dedded. I'm not sure how that happened cos I was only playing with them. Miewmie wescued an itsy bitsy baby one off me today. He was furry cute. Yesterday, she had to move out the TV unit cos one that I bought indoors as a present escaped from me and sadly he too was dedded. Miewmie says the place is like an episode of CSI New York with corpses all ofer. he he.

Guess what ?

Guess what? I caughted 2 mouses. Yes, not one but two, both in the early hours of this morning. I was so excited that I woked miewmie up specishally to tell her at 5am ! She couldn't figure out why I was so excited until she came down for brekfist. Then she found my 'trophies'. One was in the conservatory and I left the other one on the garden path. Miewmie says they were only babies and probly didnt haf a chance to run away. They looked pritty big to me ! I don't haf a foto cos miewmie 'disposed' of them weely qwickly. She also said she won't kiss my wiskers for a few days now cos I've been kissing mouses.

Summer days

This is me very nearly asleep in my garden. The summer sun is just so tiring! zzzzzz

Am I irresistible or what ?

Don't you agree that my beautiful firs are shown to their best advantage against this wonderful soft loverly red fweecy blanket that miewmie puts on the sofa just for me?

I only want to play !

This is the intwuder who miewmie says is only a kitten. He also has no bwain. Otherwise why wud he keep coming into my garden ? I hiss and wave my paw at hin but he jus looks at me. He doesn't efen understand cat language. He weely is furry silly. Efen his miewmie says he has no bwain. What can I do ??

Diet..I don't need to diet

Miewmie took this foto a few monfs ago. She said I needed to go on a diet as I was getting 'podgy'. I don't know what podgy meens. Do you fink I look podgy ?

Cuddle pleeze

When I want miewmie to cuddle me and bury her head in my firs, I get this 'far-away' look in my eyes. I don't know who enjoys it more, me or her. I purr very quietly when I am happy. In fact, I purr so quietly that miewmie has to put her eer to my tummy to hear my purrs. Then she calls me her purry girl. If I'm not purring then I'm just her furry girl.

Orphan Annie

This is me pulling my 'orphan Annie' routine. I do it spechialy for when miewmie has visiters so that they feel sorry for me. I gets lots of simpathie when I do this. Miewmie then goes and spoils it all by telling them that I have a cat flap and can come and go when I want to, and that I am not weely locked owtside in da cold and rain. Still, its good while its lasts !! he he

Watching the televishun

This is me watching telvishun. It was a natcher programme wif lots of birds. It kept me out of mischief (miewmie's words) for a furry long time.

Farewell brave Stormie

Intwuders

Thats me on the wight, on top of the conservatery. I can see efferyfing from up here. Can you see I'm not furry happy. There is an intwuder ! His name is Sky and he dusnt know anyfing about teritory ! OK, he's only a kitten and miewmie finks he is adorable but that dusnt mean I haf to let him onto my patch does it ? I haf to be furry vigilant. Sometimes I bif him one when miewmie isn't looking.

flee drops

Its dat time again. Miewmie went to the v-e-t- place and brought home a pakit of flee dwops. She says I haffen't had any for a munth. But Miewmie, I hafent got flees. She says dats why I haf to haf some. Does dat make sense to you ??
She opins the packit when I'm owt and gets it all reddy. Den she acts all 'nonchallent' but I know whats comming. Den she gwabs me and puts me on da worksurface. Thats my signal to sqirm, wriggle, and cwy. In fact anyfing to git away as soon as I can. Miewmie holds me by the scwuff of my nek and puts the drop fings on the bak of my neck where I can't lick em orf. As she has me in a neck hold, I twy and reverse out under her arm and I end up looking like a dwaft stopper, cos I'm all stwetched out. Oh how I hates flee dwops. Miewmie woood take a foto but says she hasn't got enuf pears of hands. Pleeze fink of me. As soon as the wain stops and the sun comes owt, she is going to 'attack me'. Pleeze pway for wain.

Dis bage meens I am an onory member of the Tuxedo gang. Dats cos I'm blak and whyte and incwedibly good looking as well. Wow, a reel gang. I am furry prowd to belong and will twy and bring honor to all Tuxies.

My jump foto

OK, I know I'm not jumping but I did sort of jump into this furry poor qwality bag which fell apart in a few seconds. Dis is wubbish miewmie. Get me a decent bag !

Silly Miewmie

Miewmie is still weecovering after lusing 2 hours work on da internet. Yep, she typed in some wurds for 2 hours (whyle I wayted for my T) and then pressed 'submit' and den it just went away...gawn for efer anf efer, probly to anofer planit. Gess wat, she dint say one bad werd, not one. I fink she was in shok. Poor miewmie. She is going to do it all ofer again tonite (after my T) and dis time, not send it to anofer planit.

I'm doing the ironing

Yes, thats wight, I'm doing the ironing. As you can see, Miewmie doesn't do too good a job of the sheets so I help her by lying my nice furry body on top of them and flattening them. For some reason, she doesn't appweciate my housework skills as much as I think she should. You think she would be grateful after all she HATES ironing.

Miewmie used to work but efen she doesn't do dat anymore. Now she is home all day wif me. My job is to luf her.

The next meme is all about names:
The name Miewmie uses daily; well my name is Aoise (pronounced Eesha) but Miewmie also calls me pumpkin-wumpkin, darling, aoisshe baby, furry girl. When I first came here I had a prowblem with 'flatulence' so Miewmie called me 'stinky bum'. That has stopped now cos I get only the bestest of food. I wouldn't want you all to get the wong idea about me.

Haf I done this meme thing OK. No good asking Miewmie, she has efen less idea than me and anyway, she is being distracted by Alan Titchmarsh. he he

Miewmie greets the cup

Miewmie was owt on the stweets of Portsmouth today to welcome home the FA cup and Harry and the teem. She was in a very big crowd of lots of peeple who were all hollerin, whistlin, waving flags and singing. She said the noise was unbelievable, so good job I was indoors having a quiet nap. According to the box fing at leest harf of Portsmouth was dere along wif my silly miewmie. She came home very escited and tired and is now asleep on the sofer. She is too old for all this escitment !!

We won !!

Miewmie spent the afternoon glued to the goggle box cos Pompey FC were playing Cardiff in the FA cup final at Wembley and we won ! Yeaah. "Play up Pompey, Pompey play up". Thats wot Miewmie was singing and wot harf of Portsmouth are singing right now. My afternoon nap on my sunlounger was disturbed cos Miewmie kept hollerin at the box thing. I'd just doze off and then she would yell and stuff, some of it was a bit wude so I can't wepeat it here although Miewmie nefer uses weely bad words. Anyway, she is furry happy now efen though she nefer watches footie ball normally. This is a speshul day she tells me cos Pompey haven't won the cup since 1939. Wasn't that in the stoneage Miewmie ???

sunbathing

This is me sunbathing. Don't I look a cool dude? Can you see that I have pink on my puddies ? Miewmie lufs my pink puddies. Sometimes when dey is very cleen (not dat often) she efen kisses them. This is my 'lookout' post at the bottum of the garden and I can see eferything that happens from up here. I can see if the neyberhood cats are out and about and wot they is all up to. Miewmie has to specally twim back the Ivy so I can sit and lie down wifout getting itched by the leefs.

MY sunlounger

This is MY sunlounger. See, it even has a nice fweecy blanket on it, just for me. I usually lie on the wight side like in this photo so the padding is getting a bit uneven.

Sometimes, I let Miewmie borrow it and lie on it in the garden but then I constantly moan and mieow and make such a fuss that she gives it back to me !!!

Thank you Miewmie for buying this loverly sunlounger just for me.

I am bak

Hello efferyone. I am bak. Miewmie came back for me today and wescued we from the cat hotel. Thank you all so much for coming to see my bloggy page, and for all your lufferly comments and welcome purrs. It made my sentence at the cat hotel pass kwicker.

Miewmie had a lufferly time. She said she thinked of me effery day and met lots of pussy tats in Bosnia but dat dey was all semi ferral and she couldn't stroke them. She got to stroke some woofies though, including some baby woofies.

I am now going to spend the rest of the day exploring my garden. It had gwone so much that Miewmie says I have my furry own jungle to play in !!

Miewmie goes on holiday

I am not very happy today. Miewmie put me in my PTU and took me off to the 'cat hotel'. In reality this is a place called a CATTERY. I didn't want to go and cried piteously all the way to make Miewmie feel weely bad about leefing me. She is going to some far away place called Bosnia and will be gone for efer ( 10 days). It will a furry long time before I am home again and can play in my garden.

I luff sitting near the radiator
