Well we're all still pretty busy here, but we have survived the Supreme and getting all the cats shots done and up to date! Now we just have to make it through our son's birthday and his first parent/teacher evening as well as MrO having to work tonight (the only night we could really do any food shopping before we run out of food round here). I ( Read more... )

Well as many of you know we've been busy with kittens here for the last 3 months or so and have had a pregnant cat before that who needed a lot of attention from us... But tomorrow the last 2 kittens leave home with their new family and we can have a rest from the constant kitten feeding and getting them out of things they're not supposed to be in ( Read more... )

Well we had a wonderful if tiring weekend and looked round Duxford War Museum and saw a lot of planes and one fantastic Chinook helicopter practising for the air show on Sunday. Thanks to the tireless assistance of MrO I managed to get around ok, though I think he was relieved to take a break and have a picnic in the car once we'd seen what we ( Read more... )

Well at long last both the cats and me are off antibiotics! :) Isis is back to full health and is running round the house like any 9 month old nutter of a kitten should be. Ramses is back to feeling affectionate and has almost stopped sneezing as the tail end of his cat flu clears up, and I just took the last of the ones my Dr. put me on for the ( Read more... )

Oh what joy I'm coping with a household full of sick and/or grumpy cats. I’ll be taking Ramses back to the Mum’s vet later today once I’ve picked my son up from school, we’re taking Mum and her dog Misty there too as she needs to see the vet and we might as well do it all at once and have done with… Ramses was a little better yesterday thanks to ( Read more... )

Well it seems Ramses has a version of the cold that's affecting Isis, but in him it's triggered cat asthma. Which I can promise you looks way too much like your cat is choking to death for my liking! :( Due to this fact I found myself on the phone to the emergency vet at 3am followed by a mad drive cross half of Buckinghamshire (or so it seemed) ( Read more... )

Well now I can safely say I've seen everything! That most hated piece of household equipment, my patented finger trapping ironing board is no more... After a hate, hate relationship spanning 8 1/2 years it finally gave up in a most spectacular fashion... Yes, the darn thing exploded! No kidding, MrO had just put the beast up and I was about to ( Read more... )

Yesterday morning my son was woken up my a strange feeling in his toes, only to find out that Isis was doing her best to nibble them!

MrO and I had a lovely day visiting the Mikkar Abyssinian breeders yesterday, they're a lovely couple and all the cats are gorgeous and more to the point very friendly! :) So I guess it comes as no surprise that we came home with another Abyssinian cat ( Read more... )

Well since our son left for Canada on Tuesday we've been pretty busy here getting stuff tidied up and ready for tomorrow. You see we're off bright and early to go see our Abyssinian Ramses half-sister in order to see if she's the right cat for us to start breeding Abyssinians with. Looking at her pedigree she's certainly got it, but it's also ( Read more... )
