Friday Flashback and Caturday Art.

 Two short posts this week with the second one 11 years later.

Baby Boys May 2000 (scanned photos)

This was either the first or second day we were in our new home. We were sleeping in the PTU when we first came home because we felt safe in there. When mum went to look at us again we had disappeared. She found us behind the door curled up asleep together by the ironing board. Age 5 1/2 weeks.

We liked to play THoE right from the beginning but it left us tired right out. We still like to sleep side by side or curled up together a lot of the time.

Easy Like Sunday

We hope you all have a nice relaxing Sunday.
Flynn: I will change position from time to time but once Eric is comfy, no way will he move.

Friday Flashback and Caturday Art.

 This week Eric is the Camera Cat from January 2011

Mum put the camera on me today and told me I could go and take some photos.

I jumped off the bed, past the chest of drawers....

.....and past our cube. You can just see Flynn's ear in there.

I headed out to the garden. We aren't sure if the white stripes in the photo are my whiskers or just single furrs.

I went down the garden towards the big shed....


....before heading for the Azaleas. That scruffy blue cord is where mum wants to put edging for the shrubs. Mum said the Azaleas look more like trees from my perspective.

Then we went down the track to the fields.

Yikes! I took a photo of mum's foot.
That was all we got because silly mum forgot to delete Flynn's photos from the camera and it was full up. She has set it to delete every time she downloads now so she doesn't make that mistake again.
Guess what. Flynn was asleep in the cube and didn't even know we had been out Har har har!

Flynn gets a Tummy Tuesday post also from January 2011

I have just finished washing my tummy so it is nice and clean if you want to snorgle it.

Friday Flashback and Caturday Art.

 First before the flashback we remember our much loved Flynn who had to leave us 8 years ago yesterday. Always loved never forgotten.

Flynn 8th April 2020 - 1st May 2017.

This week the flashback comes from January 2011 and is called Camera Cat. Flynn got this post to himself but I will be doing a flashback of Eric with the camera next week.

Yes, you were all right. I was wearing a collar for the first time in my nearly 11 years of life! This is the reason why.

Our friend Emerson won a pet camera in a competition from Skeezix but said as he was indoors only he thought we would get more interesting photos than him.
Mum decided I should be the one to try it first as I explore more than Eric but he will be trying it later. She bought a collar and put that on me indoors for a few minutes at a time to get me used to it then a couple of days later put the camera on the collar. I wasn't very sure about it but I didn't freak out. She said she was surprised how good I was with it. Then she let me go in the garden wearing it for a few minutes. She won't let me go in the fields with it for a few days yet. Here are some of my first photos.

My very first photo. I hid in the cube to start with and these are the fev-vers on my fev-ver butt mousie.

Then I decided to hide under the dining room chair.

When I realised that the thing hanging on my neck wasn't going to strangle me, I ventured outdoors and looked at the greenhouse.

Mum followed me to make sure I was all right, and of course she had to take photos of me taking photos.

Walking down to the hedge. Interesting things like mousies live under there.

I sat down and focused on a blade of grass so I could get a good photo of it.

Not bad for a beginner eh?

Then I thought I would have a nom on it.

Nom nom nom.

Okay, that's enough for my first attempt! I'm going back to the fire. There were a lot more photos than this but most were blurry when I kept lying down trying to hide the camera in the beginning. Mum was surprised how clear the other ones came out though.

So that Eric doesn't get left out, here is a Wordless Wednesday also from January 2011.
