Fact

If a cat sees a box, they will have to get into it. It's a compulsion. Fact.

Caught in the Act

I KNEW those two were up to something.

Animal Priorities

Helping TJam get to a 9am meeting is not one of Carlsberg's priorities.

Waiting

TJam please stop sorting out your DVD collection and feed up breakfast. Chips is nearly STARVING.
Don't think we haven't noticed that you don't know how to spell "philosopher" either.

Peace

It has taken a long time to get this kind of peace and quiet in our house.

Progress

TJam has been learning how to make moving pictures. 

Our world becomes more like Harry Potter every day...

Did I mention...

Did I mention we've had snow?

Red Sky in the Morning

... Shepherds' warning

Snow

Happy 2013 so far!

We're loving it1

Hygienic

This is my hygienic approach to helping the humans set the table. Merry Christmas everyone!

Contortionist

This is me doing yoga. That's my foot you can see at the bottom me the picture.

Resisting Temptation

Who can resist a delicious delivery note? Not me.

Saturday Night TV

TJam has a great Saturday night's viewing ahead of her. What is she complaining about?

Bread

Don't worry TJam. I saved the other half for you.

Busted

I am only reading this so i can do the opposite.

Photoshoot

Today TJam decided she was going to blog me. She wanted a good shot of me pouncing on something (but she preferred it not to be alive. Wimp.) She lined up the camera.

I pounced. She shot.

Too slow.

Next, I pounced and she took probably the most unflattering picture of me it is possible to take. This is probably what I'll look like when I'm a ghost. With one eye.

Next, she pressed focus first, and then I pounced. I guess she doesn't know how to shorten the shutter speed yet. *Shakes head in despair*

And all this time, Beanz slept. No need to worry about shutter speed for her this weekend.

Late Home For Lunch

Dear TJam

Next time maybe you'll think twice about coming home late for lunch

Love from Chip

Healing

I have cheered up since my surgery yesterday. I have a little stitch under my eye but I'm being very brave. I am managing to eat with one less tooth but I am taking a bit longer to get used to the lampshade.

Karma

It was a beautiful day today, so we went for a walk in the woods and TJam took her camera.

It all started well, TJam taking pictures of us...

I wasn't jealous when TJam took a picture of Chips

but then TJam started messing around with the settings on her camera and neglecting us

So I totally photobombed her scenic attempts.

The balance of the world is restored.

Benefit

After 10 years, TJam finally decided it was safe to get a rug. Same time Chips decided it was about time she weed in the night again.

Lucky for me, the odour eliminator has the same effect as catnip. I have scratched the back of the rug off.

The dog/cat combo destroy your home from both sides. You're welcome.

Luxury

We have totally got THE most comfortable place to sleep. I am still not entirely convinced that I am allowed on it because I haven't been allowed on the furniture for 9 years, but this chair IS for us. I keep checking with TJam before I get on it, just in case. But Yay!

1 - 0

Today it is stomach acid 1 - enormous raw hide chew 0.

Last night I swallowed THE most enormous piece of chew you have ever seen. TJam thought it would never pass safely through.

I had an early night to sleep it off.

And here I am, 24 hours later, it as a fiddle and demanding my tea. TJam is such a worry wart. I am the champion!

Bored

I am bored waiting for Chips to eat blackberries. That's her tail you can see in the bushes.

Being Brave

They are shooting pigeons over the back. I think the safest place to be is under TJam's legs.

Hulk

I have got a poorly eye. The vet put some incredible hulk drops in to look at it. I was very brave.

Hopefully the magic drops will sort me out. I have got conjunctivitis. And a tiny harmless tumour.

TJam says I might have the tiny harmless tumour removed while I am healthy, before it causes me any problems. Luckily I don't understand a word she says so I am not worried at all.

Spot The Dog

I'm in there somewhere!

Cat's Life

Me by day.

Me by night.

Summer Celebrations

Well, the journey ended on HOLIDAY!!

We went to the beach to celebrate the Boy Wonder's very special birthday.

I celebrated by running round like and idiot on the beach...

... and learning that rock pools contain salt water, that is not good for drinking...

Chips and I had Chinese takeaway for breakfast. 

What a treat!

And Chips found a spot of shade and had a little rest while 

The Boy Wonder read the Sunday paper.

Happy Birthday to you Mr BW!

Journey

Where are we going?

No matter how much you cover me up, I WILL bark on the way.

Does my bum look big in this?

Hobbies and Dirt

TJam totally bored us today when she discovered her manual focus and decided to take photos of mushrooms and stuff.

I like other things, like practising my high tail posture when I warn TJam about invisible things that are coming down the path.

I like shaking while I am still in the pond.

I like galloping like a puppy, even though I am nearly 11.

I like meeting my friends over the fields and mugging people for biscuits which TJam asks them not to give me, but they do anyway.

So I mug them more.

I like resting in the grass while TJam works out how to get black and white.

And I don't mind sharing if TJam wants to take a snap of Chips.

And most of all I love it when Chips makes me look like an angel when she steals a PIECE OF TOAST off this two year old girl. Right out of her hand!

And I loved it when this girl demonstrated how ankle length wellies are only a guide of how deep you go into the water, but should not limit you in any way.
