Here we go again
Posted: Friday, 25 February 2005 |
I don't like village life. It's just too busy. But something's afoot, our human's are packing again. Looks like we may be on the move. It's complete kitty-litter breaking up one's home, I just hope it's to somewhere quiet. Didn't come to Coll to live in a noisy village anyway, if that was my fetish I could have gone to Blaenau Ffestiniog!
Which reminds me, it's nearly Dydd Dewi Sant and we have daffs out in our garden. Do I feel home sick.. good grief no. Nah, Coll is my home now and I don't want to leave just cos we are soon to be homeless.
Since I can't venture into the wilderness from here I though I'd take cat-cam around our beautiful (even if only loaned) garden.
And here's one of those white/purple things. My great uncle Rhodrei reckons they are better than cat-nip ! But then something probably got lost in translation.
And there are still a few snowdrops around, although most have gone over by now
All in all I'm just enjoying the sun and annoying my humans with the "I wana go out - I wana come in - I wana go out..." game.

Hi Ming, I know how you feel when the humans start to pack, it usually means hours in a car, so although they bought a new suite,I can still get under the couch where they cant find me, we ahd a good day yesterday and I slept out among the daffodils for a few hours. Its good fun the 'in-out' game , keeps the humans on their toes. Hope you get a new house soon. Sparky

Mao, Ming! As a fellow feline I can only admire your ability with the camera, but also express some disbelief at the forwardness of the purple and yellow things in your - borrowed - garden. Did you really take those photos in February? In our garden there are purple and white things, but yellow things are only 6-10cm green spikes. I fear you may be a cat who is economical with the actualité........
My housemates Castro (the red cat) and Felix (a very common b&w......oh mao. sorry!!!!!) send greetings and furrlicitations from the damp North.

Hiya and thanks for the comments. Yes, Loki, they were all taken on Friday 25th Feb. We have had an amazing two weeks of cold crisp weather with completely clear skies and everything turned to spring just like that.
It is often said that Tiree is the sunniest place in the Britain but we on Coll know for an actual fact that that the sunniest place is more probably Coll.. it’s just that Tiree has a weather station and we don’t.
All the snowdrops have gone over now but the crocuses are still fantastic. But in all honesty there were only two or three daffs out, the rest are yet to bloom.
Orkney sounds a long way north but I have heard my humans droning on about going there one day, probably something to do with beer and the HP dram.

Are you leaving the island?

My hu-woman was making strange, sad-sounding noises when she was looking at these pictures. I think it has something to do with the fact that the only things that grow here in the desert are dangerous things called "cacti", which my silly brother, Sam, has tried to eat and came home with a mouth full of spines and had to go to the V.E.T. Are those daff-o-dils safe? I'm concerned in case the hu-woman decides she needs to plant some.

Sarah,
They are completely safe, I think. Never heard of anyone being abused by daffs, or abusing them.
Sounds like you need to move those cat-ki sound nasty. Anyhow, where is this USA place?
And as for moving, not sure yet Carl. But thanks for the interest. Mu humans are working on some cunning plan - I hope.

According to a large picture - which I believe is called a "map" - on the wall of my humans'computer room, the USA is across a large blue blob called "Atlantic Ocean" from some other large green blob called "Europe". My hu-woman is from some place called "Isle of Skye", which I believe is in or near the blob called "Europe". I'll have to get back to you on the specifics, though, Ming.

Hmmmm....Ming. You play that game too do you!? My 4 cats play it constantly, 24 hours a day....and when in rented accommodation with no cat-flap allowed, you can imagine how bloomin annoying that is for us humans!
I am convinced that my 4 cats hide around the corner sniggering while one jumps onto the windowsill and meows and scratches at the glass to come in. Then (more sniggering) only when we have sat back down and pulled the bedclothes over our heads again, does one of the others appear on the windowsill wanting in too :-$
This causes all sorts of arguments between me and my man as to who's turn it is to get up and open the window!
Your a naughty boy Ming ;-)
Great photos by the way! Fabulous. Hope you don't stay away too long.
