Caturday Art - A Beautiful Gift.

I have a special submission for Caturday Art this week.
I had an email from Barb, Angel Nellie's mum saying that she was doing a painting of Eric and Flynn for us.
It has arrived and is so beautiful. It captures them so perfectly.
We can't thank you enough Barb, and will always treasure it.

Sunday Selfies and More.

I decided to take my selfies outdoors again this week. Oh no, I chopped my ears off!

I took this one with the timer so I made sure I got all of myself in.

Here is my pumpkin selfie. Sweet Nellie made it for me and it is in her ever growing punkin patch.
Thank you Nellie, I love my pumpkin.

You can see more selfies with the Kitties Blue at The Cat on my Head.

Now I would like to wish my mum and dad a very happy anniversary.

23rd October 1971

This is the necklace that my dad gave my mum. It is a sapphire for their 45th wedding anniversary.

It's Raining Mousies!

I am this week's winner for Nellie's Finish the Sentence game!
My answer was:

You know it's the best day ever when..... it rains mousies.

Thank you Nellie and your mommy for my cartoon. I love it!

Wouldn't it be great to stand outside with your mouth open and just wait for the mousies to drop in!!

Happy St Patrick's Day and a Surprise.

*St Patrick's Day Greetings to you!

Me and mum had a lovely surprise last week when a package arrived from Nellie and her mum.

Nellie's mum made this lovely Eric and Flynn pin for my mum and a nippy toy for me. My toy says kisses from Nellie on the label. .

On mum's pin, I have got a mousie in front of my feet, and Eric has got one in his mouth.

Her mum made three lovely pictures too and put it all in a pretty hearts bag.

I had a good look at everything.......

and had a play with my new toy.

It's just right for hooking up and flinging.

I had a chew on the label to see if I could feel Nellie's kisses.

Then I had to stop to inhale the nip....

followed by a whap.

Oops! I think I whapped it too hard.

How dare you try to escape from me!
You'll have to excuse me now while I go and teach it a lesson for jumping down on the floor.
Thank you Nellie and mum from me and my mum.

My Visitor.

My lovely friend Nellie told me she was visiting Speedy last week. As I only live about 15 miles from him she asked if she could come and see me this week. Of course I told her I would love to see her.

I went for a walk in the fields to check out the mousie situation before she got here and then I could hear her calling to me.

I ran over to her and we had a quiet walk together. She enjoyed the feel of the grass between her toes after all the snow she has at home.

Then I watched while she had fun catching spiders.

Then we finished our walk in the best way by having a lovely dust bath followed by a snooze in the sun. When we woke up I told her to wait because I had another surprise for her.....

A nice juicy freshly caught mousie.

She was ever so pleased with it and said it was the bestest present.
Thanks for coming to visit Nellie, I enjoyed our time together.

Wordless Wednesday.

After Nellie came to visit, I had a nice surprise to see she had sent me this pretty Thank You card. She is such a well mannered ladycat.

Guess Who Came to Visit!

I had been working hard on the computer and was taking a nap. I thought I heard a jet fly overhead but knew I must be dreaming because the airport has been shut down for some time. Either that or it must be somebody very important who had special permission to land there. Anyway I wasn't going to let it interrupt my nap and went back to sleep. Then I had the strangest feeling I was being watched. I carefully opened my eyes just a fraction so I could see what was happening, and I saw..........

NELLIE!!!

I was so happy that she had made time in her busy schedule to come and pay me a visit.
I asked her if she would like to go for a walk around the fields with me and she said she would love to.

We walked along the trees where I usually have to leave my scent, but I didn't this time because I didn't want to embarrass her.
She asked if I could show her some mousies so I took her to where they live.

She said when she visited Ayla, Iza and Marley, they taught her the Come out and Play mousie song so she sang it to them. A mousie came out so I caught it and gave it to her. Then she said she was getting a bit tired from all the excitement so we went back to the garden.

When we got there I showed her Eric's memorial plaque and rose. We sat there talking about all our dear friends who have gone on to The Bridge and then we had a nap under the azaleas.
When we woke up she said she had a surprise for me. When she had visited The Katnip Lounge Kitties they had sent presents for me.

First of all she gave me a big tub full of nip which we shared. Wow! I think she is more of a nip head than me!

Then she gave me this huge psychedelic nip cookie. I think it may have been from Sweet Pea to show she didn't mind Nellie visiting me. That was some cookie! Those pigs on the curtain poles came flying by again and again until my head was spinning.

After that we collapsed on the bed for a good long nap. When I awoke a few hours later Nellie was gone. I thought at first that I had dreamed it or imagined it through a nip haze. Then I saw the crumbs left from the cookie and knew that Nellie really had been here.
Thank you for a lovely visit Nellie.

A Visitor.

Yesterday we posted our picture of us looking cute to try and get more entries for our competition, and then we had an email from Nellie. She said she doesn't want to enter, but when she saw us she wanted to come and snuggle with us and be cute too. We had a lovely snuggly nap pile when she arrived. You can come and snuggle any time Miss Nellie.
