A visit to the moggies
Posted: Tuesday, 11 December 2007 |
One of the hardest things i have ever had to do was to leave my cats behind when i moved to Orkney. The legacy of working at the vets left me with two moggies, Greebo and Scuba. Because of where i was going i couldnt ever bring them with me, so my now ex-partner took care of them. He has since moved house, and this was the first time i have seen them in nearly 11 months.
Entering the living room Scuba immediatley goes and hides under the safety of the christmas tree, but after a few words she comes out - She remembers me! The one thing i was scared of was that she wouldnt remember who i was and would do her usual thing of hissing and being scared at people she doesnt know. Soon she was bouncing around the room, mostly trying to attack the many decorations on the tree which in her opinion were there solely for her amusement. The tinkling of bells was swiftly followed by an innocent looking cat emerging from the undergrowth "who me? noooo i would never try to eat a bauble"
Greebo is still fat, in fact, possibly fatter than when i last saw her. She goes off to explore behind the sofa and gets stuck in a gap far smaller than she is, whereupon the Scubacat goes in to stuff a paw into the fatcat filled space and take advantage of the fact she cannot fight back.
Oh deary me.

The cuddly one is very much shaped like m'Marmalade Chum, and Scuba is just totally stealable! It's a very thoughtful human that decorates a Crissie tree especially for it's moggies...

Greebo! :-D Who`s the Terry Pratchett fan? My dog ought to be called Gaspode...;-)

why is it black cats always look elegant, is this why female humans wear black? hmmm......

I have a Sheltie pup who would challenge your cats for the decorations on the Christmas tree (currently fenced off to protect her from being electrocuted!)

Fpu once worked in a fur shop (shudder) and had to measure a woman whose vitals were 54"X54"X54". She wanted a black coney coat because it was 'more slimming'...that's what I like about you bipeds, your eternal optimism!

Yes dad, Greeb was fatter that that last year because mum fed her as well as us! We put her on a diet, so she would come and look pathetic at her until she got fed tuna or sardines. Anyhow, go look up "wake up" on Youtube. Fantastic animation cartoon which is soooo true ;o)

After coming to Orkney in May 2006 for 8 months, somehow I am still here. Running the MV Valkyrie in the summer and helping on the farm in winter is now my life.
