The Friday Flashback - If in Doubt.....

First of all some good news. In my post last week I had Pippa doing the Sunday Selfie.
I had an email yesterday to say she has already found her new Forever Home. She was only at the shelter for just over 2 weeks.
Great news for her and her new family.


The flashback this week comes from March 2011 and remembers one of Eric's traditions.
If in Doubt........

Flynn: Hmm, a strange smell. I wonder who has been around here. Well, you know what Eric always says..........

if in doubt, pee on it.

Eric: Hmmm, a strange smell. Who can have left it?

I get a familiar smell coming through with it though. Very strange! Never mind, you know what I always say......
...if in doubt, pee on it!

A Short Walk.

Even though it has been cold I insisted on going for a short walk.

It's a good job I did because there have been intruders here.

Of course I did! What did you expect?

Eric's Day Flashback - If in Doubt.

This week the flashback comes from October 2010 and is called:

If in Doubt.....

This is near where the badgers run. We really want to visit them but mum won't let us. She says they are more savage than the Vishus Deer. We were heading that way when we had to stop in our tracks. What is that smell?

We both had to give it a really good sniff. It definitely wasn't here yesterday.

Flynn: What do you think it is Eric? Do you think the badger has come up to look for us?

Eric: I don't know but you know my motto, if in doubt, pee on it.

Eric's Day Flashback - Introoder Smells.

This week the flashback comes from July 2009 and is called:

Introoder Smells.

This is the other side of our purrison fence. There is a gate just out of sight on the right of us and that is the way mum takes us for our walks. When we go out, we are supposed to go straight to the fields but we made mum wait for us cuz we suddenly smelled an interesting smell.

Yup, there has definitely been another introoder around since yesterday. We don't recognise the smell but the Beans have seen a black kitty up by the road gate. They don't think it is a stray though because it looks well fed. It probably comes from the village to the fields to hunt. It is only about half a mile away across the fields.

Flynn: You know what you keep telling me about strange smells don't you Eric.

Eric: Yup. I've said it before and I'll say it again. If in doubt, pee on it.

Mancat Monday: Perimeter Patrol.

It's Monday which means it is time for my perimeter patrol.

Sniff sniff sniff.

Yup, an introoder has passed this way. I need to get rid of that smell.

And there is only one way to do that.

Don't look surprised, you knew that was coming.

Traditions an Award and Hug Your Cat Day.

We are having some lovely sunny weather and that means more walks for me. I sniffed in all my usual places when suddenly I got a whiff that made the fur on my back stand up.

Then it made my tail floof just a little bit.

And then it floofed a lot!

I needed to lay down to get a really good sniff and find out what was going on.

Then I remembered what Eric always used to say. "If in doubt, pee on it." I am not one to break with tradition so of course I did just that.

I won an award last week from Timmy Tomcat. I was one of three who guessed the language of the 6th salutation on their Memorial Day post which was Klingon.
Thanks Timmy and family for my award.

Oops, Mum forgot it was Hug your Cat Day so added this picture of us.

I get lots of hugs from mum and dad.

Something's Not Right.

This is called an earth scoop and it goes on dad's small tractor.

I don't know why it is here. It doesn't belong here!

You know what happens when something is not right....

You pee on it!

Our Beans had a lovely Sunday lunch with GJ's and Milo and Alfie's Humans. We will be putting up photos later in the week.
