Sunday's confessions

Catnipped on Sunday

Well it's been already a week since my last post and I thought I'd made the effort again (don't want to be accused of being lazy you know...).

As I was saying in my previous post there has been a while since l've written anything on this blog and that was as I've explained before for many reasons (being a lazy fat cat is not one of them silly Ozzy, who at the moment is pretending he is asleep and not watching...yes you are not fooling anyone I can see those beady eyes starring at me....)

So and as I was saying many things had happened during my 'absence'  nothing too drastic though other than the move...There are still four of us, the two hoomins and of course some new fish apparently...really can't be asked to check myself...too high up for my like as these days I don't do anything too strenuous and high other than jumping on my sofa...too much effort, especially and since homin decided to keep my food and biscuits in the corridor and not to to have them in my room like it was on the other place...something about making too much mess! Anyway at least I've got new catnip rug as you can see from the photo...which is very soft and purrfect and which rug I don't like sharing with the others and especially with the pestsquito Ozzy...

Pestsquito Ozzy snoozing....not cute

Yes 'pestsquito' is his current nickname as he tends to make some strange brrr noises instead of normal meowing and hoomins think that he sounds like a mosquito and because sometimes he can be a pest (even hoomins admit it that sometimes he is a bit too playful) he's got the new nickname pestsquito...ha ha he deserves it...Like right now he is on the catnip rug again...go away shooooo pestquito, it's my rug not yours because it's in my room and I don't want to share....what a pest he is...always appearing when you don't really want him, grrr...

Anyway I've spent too much time on Ozzy again and now it's almost dinner time so I'd stop for now and catch up again hopefully next Sunday...go away Ozzy it's not your rug...it's mine, all mine....pfft!

It's been a while

Me in deep thought...my dinner is too far away

Yes I know it has been a while while since I've posted anything here but you know how life is for us pussycats...we are always soo busy...so many things to do, you know sleeping and eating takes a lot out of you and then they are the other three cats that occasionally bother me, especially the pestquito Ozzy (as my hoomins call him these days, ha ha...quite fitting I'd say) and of course they are the hoomins as well who they need constantly looking after...So there are so many hours in a day for a pussycat to take care of everything...so I tend to neglect some things like writing and updating my blog...I'm only a pussycat after all.
So many things have happened since the last time I've posted so it is really difficult to mention everything in one go you know. First of all we have moved to a better close by location to a bigger place with a nice view of the canal and thankfully no more steps any more. So now I get my chance to move about a bit and not just to stay upstairs only...I've used to hate those stairs so much...so hard to come upstairs again..too many high steps...Why on earth hoomins like places with stairs...don't understand  them...well they are hoomins after all I guess with no common sense.
Unfortunately the other thing that has not changed though is Ozzy...he is still around...grr and he still annoys me....grrr again!

Pfft...he tries so hard to look cute for hoomins...pathetic!

Yes he is still around and he is acting like he owns the place, he annoys me, he bothers poor Faith and he tries really hard to bother Choo Choo (but of course Choo Choo doesn't get bothered by anything or anyone) and of course he gets what he wants from the hoomins as he always plays the cute and innocent with them and of course they're always falling for his old tricks...so annoying at times but again what else is to expect from a not so intelligent species like hoomins...pfft!
The only ones that he doesn't bother at the moment are the fish and that is of course because they are in tank full of water. I dare him to bother them...ha, ha, splash, a wet and not so cute Ozzy.

Anyway I've written quite a lot for now and my poor paws are tired from typing and besides is dinner time and hoomins would be bringing me my dinner any minute now...hmmm I think they are a bit late actually...pfft hoomins what are they doing on Sunday evening and not having my dinner ready?...sometimes I do despair but again what can you do...you can't get good hoomins these day, you'll have to do with what you have...
Purrs and Meows for now then!

Introductions

Hi there. My name is Ripley and along with Ozzy (who currently is growling behind me....he is hungry again I guess) we are taking over from now on the ownership of this blog.

I am Ripley, the clever one

This is Ozzy the one that hoomins  often call trouble and who is not that clever really, he likes eating and playing a lot...

Sheng Chi unfortunately passed away a few months back,very unexpectedly and her loss caused a lot of sadness to both my hoomins and myself of course along with Choo Choo too. Since we've lost Sheng Chi hoomins have brought home (or as they said it they've 'adopted') two other rescue cats. 
Faith, a 12 year black and white female who has no many teeth left (just four really, poor thing) and a bit of arthritis on her front left leg which makes her limp most of the times and impossible for her to jump on high places. Faith came from a local shelter and she is a very affectionate and loveable cat who causes no trouble and who i also like very much.

Faith snoozing in her new bed...she is quite cute really...

My hoomins also adopted Ozzy (big mistake really) from the local cats protection branch, who is a 7 year old black and white male and who most of the time acts like a 1 year old kitten, instead. He is far too playful and a big pain in my fury....who thinks that anything and anybody is there for him to play with....Yes it is quite obvious I guess that I don't like him that much really but now he is a member of our family so slowly, very slowly I'm getting used to him being around (believe me it is very hard to do though ...). 
Unfortunately and although Ozzy is not that clever really nevertheless he has managed to win over the hoomins and Choo Choo (not Faith who she doesn't really trust him as he runs a lot and tends occasionally to knock her over....he can be very excitable and he also tends to buzz a lot like a mosquito....this is why the hoomins call him mosquito, I guess). He sometimes behaves also like a puppy, following the hoomins all the time, being affectionate and cute with his big eyes and rather cute face (grr...) so you tend to hear quite often from the hoomins a lot of 'ooohs' and 'aaaahs', and 'how cute is he'....grrr and more grrr...such a manipulative little monster he is....
Anyway this is how things are now that Sheng Chi is not around any more and from now on and since I'm the oldest and the wiser of course I'd tell you on a regular basis, hopefully, some of the things that are happening in my house and which you might find interesting and entertaining perhaps. Oh yes Ozzy (ha, ha right if this is ever going to happen....) would perhaps take over and tell some of our stories also as it was agreed (the oldest and the youngest in our family) but very much doubt as he doesn't have the patience really to sit down and type anything...
Till next time then! Time for dinner now which hopefully will stop Ozzy for a little while from running like a maniac downstairs....poor hoomin can't get a moment of peace and quiet, he, he!

Finally the mystery has being solved (at least hoomin thinks so!)

    It’s being a while since I’ve posted anything and now we are already in 2014! But you know how things are sometimes… a kitty like me can get really busy especially when she has hoomins and other kitties to manage! Yeap I’m a very busy kitty and sometimes don’t have the time for all the things I want to do as you understand of course that snoozing and eating always takes priority in a kitty’s daily life!

 But since today I seem to have a bit more extra time I’ve decided therefore to post something and since my hoomin seems to be also so annoyingly pleased with herself. You see she believes that she has finally solved this big mystery, which in my opinion it has never being a mystery anyway.

So for the past couple of days she keeps telling over and over and over again that she finally knows the answer to the big question of what cats are doing when hoomins are not at home (they are at that place which they call ‘work’)! Apparently the other day when she came home after being at work for most of the day (around 9 hours really too long for a pussycat to be without her hoomins and the services they provide, mainly regular food) she found Choo Choo (who is really lazy and sleeps a lot even for an old lazy cat) sleeping on the exact and very same spot she had left him in the morning… big deal!

When my hoomin came back and went into the bedroom Choo he simply looked at her, still very sleepy and not too much bothered, and he went back to sleep again to finally wake up a little later to hassle her to feed him, acting of course like he hadn't be fed for days (to make things clear here I don’t bother hoomin so she can feed me as we have a clear understanding of when she needs to feed me and how much…so she doesn’t need to be reminded)! 

Afterwards she told to the other hoomin: ‘Not that I had any doubt of course that my cats spend most of their time when I am not at home sleeping but at least now I have proof too,  I have seen it with my own eyes!’

Really hoomin and all the other hoomins out there you didn’t know that when you are not around to give us attention and food we’ll sleep till you finally come home again and save our energy for when you are at home?

Well if this is the case then you should stop once and for all consider yourselves to be an intelligent species because everybody else including the birdies outside already knew this facto of life!

I don't want to sound like a humit but I don't seem to like lots of things....

I'm turning my back on humits and their silly ideas of even a remote resemblance with them, ha!

Well somedays it's good I guess to moan a little (like humits do all the time...) to get it out of your system! I mean life sometimes goes really against you and things don't go according to your purrfect plan! I'm not sure why this is the case but I guess it is what humits call life...unexpected things do happen, for example when you're expecting your dinner and it never arrives on time cause humit is too busy to bring your dinner when she is supposed to doing other unimportant things instead...grrr!

Anyway, today I thought I will complain about humits a bit...(no I don't complain about humits ALL THE TIME! Although they are at times almost impossible to live with...but being a tolerating and patience kitty I can forgive them for their impurrfections!).

Sometimes humits can be really mean and destructive...I mean yesterday this humit came next door and he chopped all the trees there, four nice big trees which attracted a lot of birdies all year round. I mean what those trees had ever done to the humit? Everybody knows that trees are good along with the other plants as they provide oxygen and they are primary producers which means that everybody depends on them, kitties, other animals and of course silly humits. My humits said that they were probably blocking the view or something...silly excuse to cut down a tree...oh those humits never learn it seems and they keep destroying the planet...till one day....

To make things worse today I saw photos of kitties on the internet wearing slices of bread...why? Humit said that some silly humits had too much time on their hands and they thought that humiliating their kitties was funny....funny how I ask?

Really and then you hear silly things like the stuff my humit writes these days or researches that us kitties have started looking and behaving a lot like humits...we're becoming cathumits or something, having similar personalities and often behaviour...all lies...Seriously though I do hope that's not true and we don't turn up looking like those silly breeds of humit made doggies I saw in the news again today...that will be a huge CATastrophe! I must keep telling myself I'm different, I'm not like my humit, I'm a Kitty, I'm a Kitty! Now where's that humit with my dinner, she's late again it seems...I'm not a very patient kitty you know...
