Thank you

Thank you to everyone who left such kind messages of sympathy. They have been and always will be, an enormous source of comfort. The house seems very empty and quiet without Aoise. She is everywhere and nowhere.

Farewell dear friends

My darling Aoise went to the Rainbow bridge today. She had been unwell for a few days, had lost weight and was listless. The vet did x-rays and an exploratory laparotomy and they found mesenteric lymphoma which was widespread. I agreed that the kindest thing to do was let her go, even though it breaks my heart. Thank you my darling for being my friend, companion and furry baby. I shall never forget you. Your broken hearted miewmie.

Autumnal sunshine

This is me soaking up some autumn sun in my jungle. Don't you think I have a pretty neck? Miewmie is always kissing my neck, my ears...well just about almost all of me actually. She is always telling me how beautiful I am and what a gentle sweet girlie I am. I think this photo captures all of that don't you think ?

Miewmie is home

Yay...miewmie is home. Thank you to all my kitty friends who teleported over to keep me company. You guys certainly know how to enjoy yourselves ! A week I dreaded wasn't quite so bad after all. Even so, I refused to eat my whiskas and would only eat my 'biscuits'. I love having miewmie home. She keeps kissing me and giving me tweets. And of course, I'm back to eating my whiskas again. It was wabbit tonight. Yummmmmm

Lonely

Miewmie is putting lots of things in a big bag and you know what that means. Yes, she is leaving me to go on 'holiday'. I'm already feeling lonely. She says its only for a week and that our nice neighbour will come in and take care of me, but a week is a very very long time. Please come over and see me won't you ??

Nip snooze

This is me drifting into lala land. Can you see my nip cushion ? I like to fall asleep with this up against my face. One of my toy mouses is also having a nap. We are lying on a large paper bag. I like this bag and won't let miewmie move it. I feel secure lying on it even though I have lots of much more comfortable nap places.

I'm waiting

This is me very patiently waiting for mouses to come out and play. They hide from me under the shed. Last night (while miewmie was asleep) I caughted one and brought it indoors. Unfortunately it became dedded and then I lost interest and abandoned it on the carpet. Never mind, there are plenty more where that came from ! Its a pity there isn't a picture of miewmie's face when she saw the mouse first thing this morning.

My tour of inspection

Sorry you haven't heard from me for a while. It's been very difficult to get miewmie to devote some time to my bloggy page because she has been so busy in the garden (my jungle). She has taken some plants away and put some new ones in. Then of course, I have to inspect the changes, make sure she has left me enough space for my 'personal needs' and generally give my seal of approval. She is going to a garden show next week so I expect she will come home with yet more 'babies' who will take up even more space in my jungle. There really is NO MORE ROOM miewmie !!

In or out?

This is me deciding whether to stay in or go out. Miewmie has kindly left the conservatory door open to help me in the decision making process, during which time all the heat is escaping through the door. Many things have to be weighed up first, like; would I rather just go back to sleep on miewmie's bed? How full is my bladder ? Are there any strange smells I need to investigate? Are there likely to be mouses out playing? Miewmie doesn't understand that this process of deliberation cannot be rushed.

Helicopter overhead

There I was sitting quietly in my jungle when the peace was disturbed by a big whirry thing that was very noisy. Miewmie said it was a helicopter and there were people in it looking down at me. No, surely not.

In my jungle

This is me hiding in my jungle. There are no scary animals in my jungle, only mouses, birdies and froggies. I have my very own stream and I like to sit there and quietly think cat thoughts. Miewmie asks me what goes on my furry brain but she simply wouldn't understand even if I told her.

MOUSIE !!!

I'm feeling very smug in this photo cos I caughted a mousie last night. Miewmie heard a funny noise coming from the radiator last night but couldn't figure out what it was. This morning when she came down for breakfast, VOILA ! Mr Mousie was lying dedded on the carpet so now she knows what that noise was. All day she has been telling me what a good girl I am but she also hopes that there are no more mouses. Don't worry, miewmie, I'm on the case.

Coming, ready or not !

Miewmie thinks I won't be able to find her but I know where she is ! Can you guess where she hidded from me ??

'baby' photo

Miewmie took this when I was about 8 months old. We don't really know how old I am so this is a guestimate. Don't I look cute ? Notice how I have placed myself strategically on the sofa so no one else can sit on it. ha ha. This is an art that all cats learn very early and I was no exception. Cuteness is a passport to do just about anything you want !!

It's fweezing here

This is what my garden looks like at present. Its very very cold and everything is fwozen solid. Its the same all over the Yoo Kay apparently. I have hardly ventured owt (neither has miewmie) cos I don't like getting fwozen toesies. If it isn't waining then its snowing. Apparently its all coming from northern/eastern europe !! So all my kittie fwends in the US, can you please send us some nice warm gulf stweems to melt all this so I can go owt again. Thankyou.

Toastie toesies

This is me absorbing all the hear from the radiator. Miewmie calls it roastie toasty toesies time. Miewmie also says I'm daft and wonders how can I bear to lie on such a hot radiator with my lovely top to toe fur coat ! We were desert animals miewmie, remember ? We can take it !!

Can't go out

For days, weeks even, the weather here has been 'orrible. Nothing but rain, rain and more rain and wind as well. I am getting very bored and naughty indoors because I don't want to go out and get all wet. I only go when I really really have to and thats only because I refuse to use an indoor litter tway. Miewmie keeps telling me that she doesn't make it rain, so who does?

Chinese lessons

Miewmie is learning Mandarin Chinese and of course I have to help her and make sure she does her 'homework'. Sometimes she spends hours just practising writing chinese characters and I have to remind her to play with me. Sometimes, I even have to remind her that I haven't had my tea yet ! So, for emergency use only, I have secretly learned to write " feed me now": 我现在饲料 I suppose I should remember my manners and say 'thank you', xie xie, 谢谢

Autumn palette and puppy dog

Don't you think I look stunningly beautiful amoung all the autumn leaves? This ivy belongs to our neighbour across the road and I like sitting in it at this time of year as I look so picturesque.
Anyway, enough about me and my loveliness...for a moment or two anyway.

Miewmie met this puppy dog and his mummy when she was in Medjugorje earlier in the month. They lived in the pansion where miewmie was staying. Mummy dog loved to be cuddled and puppy dog just wanted to play. When miewmie was coming home, she left behind an old slipper so that he would have something to play with. Miewmie says they were adorable ! Well, I'm not too impressed with that statement as at the time I was here home all alone, all by myself. She even picked up a kitten which is quite a feat as most are semi-feral. She only slipped that one out when she thought Iwasn't listening. Hmmph. And I thought I was the love of her life !!!

Miewmie is home !

Miewmie is back from her holiday ! Yay ! It has been a very long week for me and I refused to eat my whiskas food but miewmie says I don't look any slimmer ! Miewmie got a sun tan so she looks helfy even though she has a bad cold. She keeps sniffling all over the place so I am giving her warm healing cuddles to make her better. The good noos is that she has to save lots of pennies before she can go away again !!
