The Friday Flashback and Caturday Art.

This week the flashback comes from September 2012 and is called:
Under The Old Oak Tree.

Eric: It's good to be out of lock up after the Beans holiday and walk around the fields again.

Flynn: Or just relax by the big old oak tree.

It gives us lots of nice cool shade when the sun comes out.

Eric: Or we can just lie there and think about things.

I've forgotten what I was thinking about.

Oh of course! I was going to have a bath.

Flynn: Really Eric! Where did you leave your manners.

You should show some decorum like me........

and bathe in a gentlemancatly manner.

I am joining Athena the Cat Goddess for Caturday Art and have used two photos this week.

For Eric I started with Quirky at 55%, then Watercolour at 40% and finished with Picasso at 35%.

For Flynn's art I started with Fairy at 55%,then Beauty at 35% finishing with Landscape at 30%.

Two art means two puzzles!

Sunday Selfies

I am joining the Kitties Blue again this week for the Sunday Selfie.

After falling asleep last week waiting for the timer, I thought I should make more of an effort this week.

I climbed my tree and posed nicely for my selfie.

Mancat Monday - Tree Climbers.

We have had three days of dry weather which means we can go for walks again. We went down to our favourite oak tree.

Flynn:  I sharpened my claws ready so I could climb up it.

Up I go! The big trunk goes two ways here.

You will have to be faster than that with the flashy box mum.

I am on my way back down. It is a long way up so mum had to zoom in to see me. Then we had the biggest surprise....

Eric ran up the tree!

Eric:  I haven't climbed this tree for a long time so I wanted to show mum and Flynn I can still do it.

Here I am back down in the fork of the trunk.

When I got nearly to the bottom I looked up the other side. Flynn doesn't climb up there because it is vertical and hard to get back down. Mum shouted, "Eric! Don't even think about it. You will get stuck."

Well I didn't think about it, I did it, and yes I did get stuck. Mum had to get up to the fork in the tree then reach her arm up to me so I could walk down it and onto her back and then jump the rest of the way down.
Mum was really surprised at how energetic I was as I am spending a lot of time lying around. I have days when I feel better than others and I wanted to show her I can still climb a tree when I want to.

I go back to the vet in a week's time for more blood tests. I still won't eat the high protein wet food but Flynn loves it. I am eating some of the dry food though which is high protein, gluten and wheat free too. We changed from a dry and wet food diet about three years ago to all wet which I wasn't pleased about as I always liked the crunchies the best, so now I am glad to be back on crunchies even if mum doesn't think it is ideal.

Our Tree.

This is the big old oak tree we like to climb. I am just on my way up.

I am quite high up now and nearly hidden by the leaves.

I went up to see if there were any birds up there but they all flew away, so I am coming back down.

All clear below! I will jump from this last bit.

The yellow cross shows where I climbed to. When I was younger I used to go to the very top and scare mum because I would walk out on the little twiggy branches. These photos were taken before I went to the V E T. I may not be able to climb my tree for a while because they stole my toenails along with my fur and blood.
