Catty chit chat
Butter wouldn't melt in my mouth but a lizard might....
All these gorgeous photos of the kittens has made me want to take a break from my boring work emails and website work and purrr away about the wonderful world of cats.
I do think of myself as a cat lover. I just happen to love everyone else cats and not my own. I counted how many cats we had looked after recently and it amounted to 11 cats. We have 2 left, so I wouldn’t be a good candidate for looking after Sharon’s kittens ( below…)
Garfield is our oldest cat, he’s three. I told you, I’m not very good at looking after them. In the early days they used to get diseased and dribble a lot until I found Pointer’s Vet in Nueva Andalucia and realised that you could get cats vaccinated. Then a few were hit by cars. I really did try to slow down…..Recently and more sinisterly the cats we had began to disappear one by one. I think Nagueles Park is a lovely place for cats…..
We also have Olly. He didn’t come from Triple A, he appeared at the garden gate, all cute and fluffy, 6 weeks old and with huge bluey eyes. I melted, he wormed his way into the house ( later I found some real ones, another trip to Pointers Vet) and last time I saw him he was making himself comfortable on my just washed outside cream sofas. He is now hiding. He knows I’m cross, very cross but it could be worse. My friend’s dad has a cat they adopted that pees on their inside sofas.
Between them Garfield and Olly plot my demise. In the morning when I am sweeping the bags under my eyes over my shoulders they try to trip me up down the stairs. They leave nasty half eaten creatures on the doorstep and the odd cockroach, legs still moving….They bring on my cat allergy with their hairs and two days ago Olly decided to have a bout of sickness and diarrohoea whilst we were having a family meal.
However without them my children would be miserable and when we come back from a few days away camping and they rush inside, well, yes I will have missed them too. When they are good, they are very, very good, but when they are bad…..well the yowls you hear now and then that you think are mating cats.
That will be me and I’m not mating……
