We were greeted on Saturday morning by the mournful rowling of Iggy, who arrived on the bed as wet as a cat can be. Further investigation proved that this dampness was more than the torrential rain we have been suffering for ever^H^H many days. Clearly, he’d been in either the fish pond or the stream, […]

with all the hoohah about Bada, it’s easy to forget that we have seven other cats in the house. And as in any multi-cat household where the inhabitants go in and out as they will, there are always scrapes … Iggy came home with yet another scratch on his nose the other day; it looked […]

Four and a half hours later, the spotty boys are still there, curled up – almost spooning, you might way. We have no explanation for this, except we wonder are they perhaps mimicing the Northern Ireland peace agreement? In which case – a scary thought, I know – which of them is Paisley, and which […]

We have mentioned before, I’m sure, that Iggy and Mustrum most emphatically Do Not Get On. If they are in the same room, there is often hissing and grumbling, and they have had some fights which have actually frightened us – two alpha male Bengals in one house is clearly not a good idea. It […]

Yesterday, just as I climbed into the bath, the bathroom light went off. And as I thought “that’s odd – we only changed the bulb a couple of months ago”, I heard the ominous sound of the UPSen beeping. Pete went down to the electrickery cupboard, and reset the circuit breaker. It tripped again. So […]

We used to keep a rug on the sofa, so that on a cold night – or in times of feeling a bit poorly – we could curl up under it. All the cats loved this rug, and would happily join us on, or indeed under, it. A few months ago, when Iggy was the […]

I went into the bedroom yesterday, and noticed that the pillow on my side of the bed had been moved. I thought little of it, to be honest – the bed already contained Moo, Mustrum and Liessa, so I assumed that a passing beast had disturbed it. an hour or so later, Pete called me […]

Iggy came in yesterday morning with a white feather stuck to his whiskers. no, we don’t know where the rest of the bird is, although obviously we’ve asked him ..

DIY

any sort of DIY is enhanced by the presence of cats in the house, we find. yesterday’s task was to put up a nice Ikea corner unit in the hall, so that we had somewhere to put all the clutter of cameras, chargers, phones, etc. Pete got it all assembled, and then informed me that […]

Iggy has an abscess in his left cheek. A *huge* abscess. so far we have done three trips to the vet, including one this morning (thus paying Sunday rates, and missing Ivor B’s (WINOLJ) birthday party. and there’s be another trip on Wednesday, and possibly another after that. he’s feeling very sorry for himself this […]
