This cat has decided to make himself at home in our front garden. He is very friendly, gets on well with children and other cats but he is not neutered. I don’t know if he is somebody in the neighbourhooods or if he has decided to adopt us. Personally I think he has the hots [...]

I found this on Jess Giggles and as I have hit a bit of writers block today I thought this might be fun. 1. What bill do you hate paying the most? The water bill on a house that I rent out. I feel it should be the tenant’s responsibility to pay it. Every month [...]

I went for a run this weekend – it was a 15km race and about 5 km too far to be comfortable! It is amazing the things that go through your mind when you run. Especially when you begin to battle a bit. My first thought was how can I feel this bad when it [...]

So a while ago I started playing a game with my cat, Bacardi. Each night I will say to him, “Come Bacardi we are going to bed, even if he was fast asleep on the couch he will get up and follow me. When we get to the bed we play a bit of a [...]

Here are some photos of the padded playmat I made. I am very impressed with my little self and love how it came out. Although I am sure that proper quilters or seamstresses would be hanging themselves with the cord of thier sewing machine if they took a closer look! Bacardi seems to think I [...]

I have my cats well trained. They come home at about 5 or 6, when I get home from work, usually they are there waiting for me but if not I just call them once and they come running inside. I then close the doors and the windows, give them some food and let them [...]

We have two cats, Miss Molly and Bacardi and it is amazing the differences in their personalities, attitudes and how they approach things.

I am not a superstitious person. Really I am not! But sometimes you really do begin to wonder….. On Friday, yes the 13th, Miss Molly my BLACK cat disappeared. I was a little worried, it was raining and there was thunder about. Normally at the first clap of thunder she comes running [...]
