Ming the Merciless - December 2004

The weathers been so bad of late cat-cam has had a rest. Except the other morning when I awoke to this. Even the humans got out of bed early.

Arh, life is good again.

Otherwise it's been awful and all I could do was to log into island blogging and get even more depressed at the debate on windy-mills etc..
Following on from Blog-blog's entry into the on-going going's-on where he posted some pics of windmills, I've dug around my archive and found a couple of pics that might (probably won't) interest some of you sad power station spotters.

First, a none green house gas emitter, Oldbury-on-Severn nuclear power station. It was obviously going through a troubled time, as can be seen by the time machine in the foreground. For this I must thank my great uncle Gloucester who passed down cat-cam, through the generations to me and finally allowing you to share some more alarm over the secret antics of devil power.

And below, today’s answer to what will save us all. Yes, it’s all been said before… nuclear was to save us all in the sixties and seventies and now the truths have shown it’s nothing but cat-litter.
Will the same happen with windmills? Will the truth eventually and miraculously appear in the minds of the zombie masses who have so gullibly accepted windfarms with open arms and wide open purses? only time will tell.


Why should I care, I’ve been de-nadgered, have no kittens and don't give a ming.
Role on the next sunrise

And to Mitsy from Craigshill, Livingston
A fan club? Hang on, I’m a cat and I do not understand all this celebrity cat-litter the TV is so keen to promote, sorry, self promote. But I am flattered you asked and please let me know how you’re doing with that trouser grabber next door. Any dog scarring story makes good winter reading. And please tell me more about your sister Holly – but don’t mention to her I have been to the V.E.T.

And to Polar Bear in Canada.
I shot a polar bear once – on film.

My human says he ate some once in Milliways, the restaurant really at the end of the universe, on Spitzbergen island.
But midge eating mossies do sound interesting. If you can catch one I’ll email you my address.

Then there’s Mike, Dorothy Collins, Nic, Pondhead, IW, that guy from Kazakhstan (or how ever it’s spelt), Will the drawer, Gary, etc… Many thanks. I shall be more diligent in the future.

Many thanks for all the comments – over many blogs.
To witchinthewoods, your suggestion for caught mice and voles is excellent but why not just use the power yourself - or are you suggesting another Dervaig bribe scenario? And the whole of Mull? How big is it anyway? I can sometimes see some land out east that I believe to be Mull but more often than not the pizzle is to dense - which will be all well and good if those darn windmills go up.
And how are your four felines? Get them to blog and post some pics – and more to the point, are any of them female and want a holiday?

To Rob the entomologist from Yorkshire – we have a burger van here now, as you probably know. I hope you are the right Rob, the one that only eats burgers (if not, many apologies). Anyhow, looking forward to your visit next year, or even this year. And yes, it’s true, I only do sunrise shots this time of year. In summer there are too many crakes to stalk and grasshopper warbler chicks to catch. See you soon.

To Merlin the Magnificent Magicat from Santa Barbara, California, USA
Oh My God - you’re an indoor cat! Sounds terrible but then I have no concept of the dangers you mention. I know of a cat living in the top of Norway with 50 odd sledding dogs. He never phones as he’s completely spitless and hoarse but he has internet connection. He doesn’t stay in though. Perhaps your just a pussy?
We don’t have a Santa Barbara here, ours in male and called Santa Claus, on which note, I’ll wish you seasons greetings.

The humans went to Oban last week and we had to fend for ourselves. They also took my cat-cam and here are a some shots I discovered in the camera when they returned. I believe the sun was setting as the ferry approached Oban.







Otherwise there is little going on. The big ginger tom still terrorises the village and I have discovered Tutti and Frutti get beaten up by him as well. So much for Sara’s theory that these bundles of blubber rule Arinagour!

Happy Christmas to everyone

Some fireworks that went off over the Coll hotel this evening. It woke me from my slumbers (helped by a few scraps of duck). I expect Tutti and Fruti had something to do with it, or Sara at least.



All the best for the new year
