Sometimes I wonder where I have gone wrong in life.
I think the real mistake was not being born a cat.
I look at my two sometimes and think… “Yup, you’ve got it cushy!”
Fed and kept warm – and cuddles on tap!
I suppose I ought to admit that the Girlie is fairly well trained.
She’s a good cook and is great at starting the fire.
And, as for the cuddles on tap…..
Sometime I buy the cats some Prawnies.
This is almost always a mistake!
Not only are they expensive; the cats do like to give me a present in return!
This is what I found beside my bed this morning – Ta cats – Love you lots!
All the best
After 8 days away from home, Sammy has finally returned.
On Monday morning, whilst I do doing some work on the computer and the Girlie was in the kitchen, busily peeling garlic, we both heard a “Miaoww”
Sure enough, it was the Sammy beast!
Having said hello, the first thing he did was to rush to the food bowl and gorge himself – “nothing has changed there”, I thought to myself!
Missing her big fat brother, no doubt, has brought out the hunting instinct in Cindy.
She had been out searching for the missing boy (who freely admits that he’s built more for comfort, than for speed) and came back with a pressie for me.
I had to leave the room whilst she was eating it – it was still wriggling and the noise of the bones crunching – well, disgusting is too gentle a word!
I have 2 cats – they are brother and sister – they were both born on 1st May 1999 – They are called Sammy and Cindy!
They’ve both been with me for a long time and have been through lots of adventures with me (not least the 18 hour trip it took to get over here almost 6 years ago!)
Sometimes, they’ve both really pissed me off! They seem to think that I am their slave and only exist to work to earn money to buy them Prawnies!

In my Shower-room/Toilet, I have a large plant pot containing some indoor plants.
I bought these plants (think Banana Plant, Rubber Plant etc.) as waifs and strays from my local supermarket.
I tended to them, I looked after them, I always remember to water them.
They prospered and grew – I was happy. I just couldn’t understand why they recently started dying off.
It was only today, after work, that I realised the reason. I caught Sammy (the big, fat, stupid and naughty cat), digging a hole and doing something that he shouldn’t have been doing – in my plant pot!
So, Sammy – no prawnies tonight, not for you.
And, perhaps, not tomorrow, either.
And… the replacement plants are coming out of your Prawnie budget!
All the best
After an exciting and enjoyable three days in England, I got home very late last night.
Actually, very early this morning.
Mr Muppet here managed to take the wrong turn off the Rennes Periphique – I can’t understand how, it’s nearly impossible to do – and didn’t realise until he was close to the outskirts of Marseilles (perhaps I exaggerate, slightly).
Cats were very unhappy that I had deserted them again.
They were unhappy, that is, until I shared out their presents from ‘The Old Country’. I would be better off with children – they would be less trouble, I’m sure.
Enjoyed seeing everyone (and meeting Rick). Paul – I hope you’re feeling better soon!
All the best
