Thread: Caught out...!

Isn't this great,we all have at least one in the bunch who is a dab hand at thieving & Peter having three in one go is really going to have to be on his toes,I am looking forward to some fun posts when they arrive into his household,when Merlyn was younger he moved a heavy glass dish off of a plate to get to the beef underneath it was tipped neatly onto the side & we didn't hear a thing so now "try"to put everything out of the way but slipped up good & proper yesterday & darling Welly made the most of it.Hope Peter realises that no bag or contents are sacred,how often have we wondered how bags of crisps etc have ended up down under the bed & then realised a helpful MC has helped to unpack,I also make sure they can't get to any underwear,did have China come down the corridor once making her growling I have killed it noise while we had visitors & we just called out well done Cheeky have you killed your mouse & she proudly walked in a dropped her kill,a pair of knickers at the feet of the visitors,how embarassing, couldn't have closed the drawer properly because underwear was strewn all over the bedroom floor,no secrets with MC's,I was thankfull they were good friends of ours but....

I am working on the theory that my life will be a fun but living hell for a while. I am trying to "cat proof" the house still. This weekend it's bathroom and kitchen clear-out; Discarding all the unwanted bottled of random aged potions etc. and making sure that all sharp things have a secure home etc.

Three weeks tomorrow! I am only ever so slightly excited. OK, I am butterflys-in-tummy all the time excited in all fairness...

We are all getting excited alongside you,I thought having two at the same time was brave,pleased we dun it though,but three. However much you think you have covered all eventualities a MC will soon discover the one that you haven't & we will hear about it & have a giggle.As Candes says you won't want to go to work,they just seem to have a hold over you & you want to spend quality time with them all the while,whatever you are doing one of them will be there showing an interest & helping {not}.I do go on my holidays & I do put them all into a cattery & I do hate taking them & I do luv it when it is time to pick them up but I also do luv the fact that where they go Auntie & Uncle luv it when they are there because they also get given a lot of luv.cuddles,kisses,help with the feeding & cleaning & Aunt & Uncle just luv it when we give them lots of dates to put in their diary because they reckon life at the cattery is never dull with them down there so they give off that same aura wherever they go,bless them all....
Only three weeks tomorrow,coming very quickly,when do you see them again ?

I don't see them until the day now :( But Heather, the breeder, has sent me lovely e-mail updates about their first vacination (no side effects at all!) and how there characters are devloping. I feel like a kid again. Not that I ever stopped, but I feel even more like a kid again

Just "Peter", please

If I could afford to retire and enjoy my life with cats, photography and other similar stuff I would so so do so, but hey. I will have to make do with a week off and making sure that my new boys are my priority for a long time to come. I really hope they like films and music too

hehe, love it!

One cute "not me innocent expression" and no doubt all will be forgiven!

I made the mistake the other evening of leaving the Whiskas Temptations box out - cue one prised off lid and a rather sated cat in the morning! Oops

Yes he was forgiven quite quickly,when you get a cat going prurrp,prurrp not me & that innocent stroll around the kitchen what can you do,especially when there is pastry hanging from his face & ears, glad I am not the only one who has been caught out this week,Whiskas temptations,name says it all.
Feel sorry for Peter not seeing his babes anymore until the big day arrives,I wonder if he will have time to post.....!

Jackie, that has absolutely made my day. I never thought I'd be sitting at my Mac after a bad day at work, watching Wicca wipe rice pudding all over her tower and Freyja nicking all my post-it note reminders from above my desk, whilst I contemplate another woman's drawers... but here I am! Love it!

Rach, I'm going to go out on a limb here and guess that this was Monster?? It's very Wicca-esq. What amazes me is that you assume when you leave the box on the table that it's quite heavy, and not particularly easy to carry in ones teeth, but they still manage it. Wicca's not yet perfected the art of stealth so we've been able to catch her before she's wrenched the lid off!

The good news is, Peter, that the feeling doesn't wear off! Getting two cats, and MC's in particular, has absolutely changed our lives. They've brought out the absolute idiots in me and OH - he says that ours are the most pampered cats in Reigate, and then has the cheek to make up songs about them both and sing to them. Loud enough for our neighbours to hear!! I'm so jealous that you're getting three - if I had a bigger house and a bigger garden... Can't wait to see the photo's when you get your boys home. Say good-bye to a peaceful nights sleep, good-bye to disposable income, but a big hello to three magnificent fluffy balls of joy

Reigate ? I know a breeder that's delivering a girl MC to Reigate ... you could get into highway robbery! One of the girls from the litter is going to Reigate. The other to Portsmouth (or is is Southampton ?) and I am intercepting the driver at J2 of the M40 on the day

And you mean I was supposed to have a disposable income *before* they arrived. Oh dear.
