Cats new toy – Cat It Design Series Sensory Activity Centre

Sunday, November 29th, 2009

I thought as both Lindsey & I work long days, I would purchase the cats (Esther, Angus and Tilly) a new interractive toy, so they wouldn’t get bored during the day, and to stimulate their minds and body!

I purchased a new Cat It Design Series Sensory Activity Centre for them to play with from Purrr-Fection Ltd (www.purrr-fectionragdolls.co.uk).  It consists of three items

  • The Catit® Design Senses Massage Center
  • The Catit® Design Senses Scratch Pad
  • The Catit® Design Senses Play Circuit

Most times, we purchase toys and they don’t play with them, well here’s the proof, they like the Cat It Design Series Sensory Activity Centre.

Angus gets out of fish tank

Angus gets out of fish tank

It was empty!

Before I could clean and rinse the new fish tank today, before site-ing in the fish house, Angus had to get out of it! I’d just un-wrapped it in the garden for cleaning, and Angus jumped in! I reached for my handy camera to take a snapshot of him in the tank, but as you can see from the photo above, he started to climb out!

Later I managed to get the tank cleaned, rinsed and polished and sited in the fish house ready for filters, heaters, sand and water.

This is our cat Tilly! She doesn’t like me very much, so it’s unusual she stayed still long enough for me to get this picture!

Way back Then :- How Does Your Garden Grow?

Monday, April 20th, 2009

When the term blog wasn’t invented, I was “blogging” of sorts here with How Does Your Garden Grow? It was a few years ago, when a friend told me he was captivated by my blog, that he started to grow his own vegetables. (Thanks David!) I said “what blog?”, that’s not a blog, well I suppose it was!!!! If you not seen it, it’s still here How Does Your Garden Grow? (please be patient, it’s not bandwidth friendly and badly coded!)

So I’ve really been blooging of sorts since 2003! Which reminds me to why I posting…..

In Memory of Esme & Charlie, this is a piece of video footage I found on a DV tape, down the back of my desk. Where better to archive it, but on youtube!

It was shot in June 2003, what we didn’t know at the time this video was taken was that Charlie would fall seriously ill and die in September of that very same year. Esme died 3 years later in July 2006 of aspirated pneumonia. Esme is the soggy cat, that has just fallen in the pond, and Charlie is the white cat in the background that comes into frame.
