Rat in mi kitchen

Sunday, July 11th, 2010

My kitchen cupboard doesn't smell right. It smells of rodents. A bit of a tidy up finds evidence1 of a mouse having been in the cupboard. My Sherlockian mind then realises that the holes in the bag of kitty food were probably not there when I bought ...

Stockholm syndrome kicks in

Saturday, June 5th, 2010

It looks like I won't be getting the ransom, kidnap kitty may well officially be mine. Some time back I accidentally steal my neighbour's cat and she has been living with me ever since, quite happily. I have bumped in to the neighbour a few times and she ...

Kidnap kitty's continuing escapades

Saturday, May 30th, 2009

My neighbour's cat moved in with me and the neighbour was concerned about the kitty being a nuisance. A couple of short discussions helped convince my neighbour that, actually, I really like cats and I'm fine with her treating my flat like a hotel, as that's what cats do. ...

Panda cattery

Wednesday, April 8th, 2009

My neighbour's cat has been spending an awful lot of time with me, seemingly either being inside my flat or outside and roaming, and the neighbour hadn't been around to check that Panda cat was okay. However, after quite a few weeks my neighbour calls and asks, 'Is my ...

A tale of two kitties, or how I stole my neighbour's cat

Wednesday, March 25th, 2009

Late last year I come home to find a small kitty mewing at my neighbour's door. I have seen the neighbour just walk inside and, as it is cold and damp, knock on the door to let her know her kitten is outside wanting to come in. There ...

A curious cat's climb

Saturday, October 11th, 2008

Kenickie, my kitty, had a bit of an adventure yesterday. I had a hole in my roof and a chap was around in the morning to repair it. My loft was open to provide access and there were ladders up on to the roof, the repair man making ...

Kenickie's kicks

Tuesday, September 23rd, 2008

Kenickie, my kitty, was happily sitting in my lap as I was scratching his chin and rubbing his soft belly. He was enjoying this quite a lot, purring away with his eyes closed. So comfortable was my cat that he had one of his back legs rested on ...

Kenickie eats again

Friday, September 19th, 2008

When I got my new kitty, Kenickie, almost a year ago he took to the biscuits I fed him immediately, making satisfying 'nom nom nom' sounds whenever he got peckish and snacked from his dry food bowl. Finding some meat-based cat food that he liked was a bit more ...

A disturbing turn of events

Wednesday, August 27th, 2008

My lovely kitty, Kenickie, has the hunting instinct in him. It was not long after he was introduced to the cat flap, and the wonder of the world outside, that he was bringing home captured prey. To start with, this prey was only dead leaves, perhaps catching his ...

Respect and cuddles

Tuesday, June 24th, 2008

Apparently, it was 'Respect at Work Day' yesterday, which perhaps made it a little unfortunate that I wore my VG Cats t-shirt that has Aeris raising a fist and saying 'I'm going to start wounding you now!' I tried to placate people by pointing out that it makes sense ...
